2588 Grade 9 Heaven Immortal Su Zimo pondered for a moment and was tempted. However, he would have to resort to some… unorthodox means if he wanted to cultivate to the peak of a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal in a short period of time. The crystalline plums on the Mystic Frost Plum Tree were the best tonic for Su Zimo! Of course, this was a little rash. However, Immortal King Qing Yang did not mention this matter nor did he say explicitly that cultivators who entered this place were not allowed to pluck the Mystic Frost Plums. In reality, it was not because Immortal King Qing Yang was careless. Throughout history, it was already the limit for any Heaven Immortal that entered this place to cultivate while defending against the surrounding cold. Even if some cultivators mustered their courage and wandered around, they would not be able to walk far. The reason why Su Zimo could arrive here was entirely because of the physique of the Green Lotus True Body! Although the Mystic Frost Plum Tree was an immortal tree of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and had lived for countless years, it was still a flora-type living being. All those living beings had to bow down in the face of the Creation Green Lotus! Now that he had a plan in mind, Su Zimo no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and strode in the direction of the Mystic Frost Plum Tree. Since he had decided on this matter, he could not hesitate. Once this matter was exposed, someone would definitely step in to stop him! Before long, Su Zimo arrived beneath the Mystic Frost Plum Tree. His entire body was covered by a layer of frost and there were ice crystals on his hair and brows. Every single breath he took was filled with white fog. Su Zimo circulated his blood qi slowly to defend against the surrounding coldness. Thereafter, he leaped onto a branch and reached out to pluck the plum on it, stuffing it into his mouth. Before the plum was completely chewed, he had already plucked a second plum and placed it into his mouth. In just a few breaths, Su Zimo had already eaten more than ten plums in succession and was swallowing them heartily. Divine Firmament Hall. Before long, Heaven Ranking cultivators appeared one after another and returned to the Divine Firmament Hall from the secret ground. Although everyone was severely frozen, their bodies were filled with Spirit Qi and their mental states were at their peak. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, there was a chance for them to break through! “Everyone is back, right?” Immortal King Qing Yang swept his gaze and asked casually. “Su Zimo of the academy has yet to return.” Many disciples of the academy said hurriedly. “Mmm?” Immortal King Qing Yang frowned slightly and murmured, “He stayed inside for so long?” Immediately after, as though he sensed something, Immortal King Qing Yang was shocked and tore through the void to leave. Before long, he whisked Su Zimo back from the secret ground and threw the latter into the Divine Firmament Hall with a terrible expression. “What’s going on?” 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy stood up. “Hmph!” Immortal King Qing Yang had a terrible expression. “Su Zimo, how dare you pluck the Mystic Frost Plums on your own and eat them directly!” Even after Su Zimo was whisked out, he was still chewing something. His cheeks were puffed up and it was unknown how much he had eaten. However, before long, a layer of ice appeared on Su Zimo’s body and grew thicker. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic ice cocoon! Su Zimo was frozen within and did not move at all. Even his lifeforce did not fluctuate. “Junior Brother Su!” Mo Qing’s expression changed slightly and she wanted to knock open the ice cocoon to save Su Zimo. Yun Zhu had a grim expression as she pulled Mo Qing back hurriedly and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be rash. If we go up and shatter this ice cocoon now, even Zimo will be shattered.” “That’s right.” Immortal King Qing Yang sneered, “Su Zimo is extremely audacious. He ate dozens of Mystic Frost Plums and will definitely die!” At that point, Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Meng Yao, Perfected Immortal Wu Feng and the others were truly surprised and delighted. To think that this person ended up killing himself! Immortal King Qing Yang continued, “The coldness contained in the Mystic Frost Plums is way too strong. One can only gradually digest it after cultivating to the Perfected Immortal realm and condensing a Dao Fruit.” “This lad is only a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal. He truly has a death wish for devouring dozens of Mystic Frost Plums in one go!” Sword Immortal Yue Hua laughed internally but there was a look of pity on his face. “Sigh, Junior Brother Su is young and impetuous. He doesn’t know his limits and can only blame himself for landing in such a state.” “Only Perfected Immortals can digest it?” Yang Ruoxu frowned. “Didn’t Junior Brother Su and the others drink a cup of Mystic Frost Plum Tea previously? There was a Mystic Frost Plum in it.” Immortal King Qing Yang sneered, “The reason why Heaven Immortals can drink the Mystic Frost Plum Tea is because the water used to brew the tea is a hot spring in Divine Firmament Palace to begin with. It can neutralize the coldness in the Mystic Frost Plum Tea.” “This lad is way too greedy and chose to eat the Mystic Frost Plums directly. That’s the reason why he ended up in such a state.” Mo Qing was at a loss. Yun Zhu frowned with disbelief in her eyes. She still could not believe it. Chess Immortal Jun Yu sighed gently. Even the many disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy were stunned on the spot. Su Zimo had just obtained Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking. To think that he would end up in such a state. The huge fluctuations between joy and sadness was too great for everyone and they could not recover for a moment. “Haha!” On the side of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, a cultivator could not hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. “What a joke. To think that the Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking would die to his own greed!” “Throughout history, this is probably the only Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking with such a short lifespan, right?” “How ironic. The Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking actually committed suicide in public!” Cultivators from sects and factions that had bad ties with Su Zimo such as the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect stood out and mocked before long. Creak! Right then, a strange sound came from the motionless ice cocoon in the Divine Firmament Hall, as though something had cracked. Instantly, the discussions around them turned hushed. Everyone looked over and their expressions changed! A thin crack appeared on the ice cocoon. Under countless gazes, the crack expanded and extended continuously, covering the entire ice cocoon before long! “Wha—” Many cultivators widened their eyes. The expression of Immortal King Qing Yang turned bewildered as well. Through the cracks of the ice cocoon, he could vaguely sense a wisp of lifeforce fluctuation. Furthermore, the fluctuation was getting more obvious! How was that possible? Could that lad be alive still? Boom! After a momentary silence, accompanied by a deafening bang, the ice cocoon suddenly exploded and a figure broke free, emitting an extremely powerful aura! Steam rose from Su Zimo’s body and every single breath he took was filled with rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. His entire body was enveloped by Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and nourished continuously. Everyone swept their spirit consciousnesses and could not help but gasp. A Grade 9 Heaven Immortal! Relying on dozens of Mystic Frost Plums, Su Zimo broke through from the realm of a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal to become a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal in less than two hours!
