Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Snatching the Nascent Soul!_1

Ethan Smith grabbed Violet Russell and quickly headed toward the Ice Palace.

At this moment, Violet didn’t dare to say more. She could only lead Ethan into the Ice Palace.

The layout of the Ice Palace was extremely complex, and their Palace Master was currently cultivating in a frozen secret chamber.

Once they reached the entrance of the secret chamber, Violet pointed inside and said, “The Palace Master is in there. I can’t go in with you.”

Ethan grunted in response. Through the doorway, he could clearly see a man sitting cross-legged inside.

The man had long hair that reached his waist, and a trace of cold air enveloped him.

...

Above his head was a faint blue stone, like an ice crystal.

At this moment, streams of air surged into the man’s body from the stone.

Ethan didn’t dare to waste time. He clenched his fists and smashed a powerful punch into the door!

The door shattered instantly, and the loud noise caused the entire Ice Palace to tremble slightly.

Ethan rushed to the Palace Master’s side and stared at the scene before him. His face was filled with shock.

“This is… a sign of breaking through Marquis and entering the Martial Saint Realm!” Ethan exclaimed in surprise.

He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he’d arrived any later!

Ethan held the Golden Light in his hand and prepared to end the Palace Master’s life with a single punch.

But just then, a phantom appeared above the Palace Master’s head.

Although it was a phantom, it had almost materialized!

At this moment, the Palace Master’s phantom coldly looked at Ethan and asked, “Who are you?”

Ethan cried out in surprise: “Is this… a nascent soul that’s about to form? Are you really going to step into the Martial Saint Realm?”

The Martial Saint Realm is the equivalent of the Nascent Soul Realm in the cultivation world!

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, their golden core will disappear, giving birth to a nascent soul!

As long as the nascent soul is formed, one can escape their physical body!

By then, even if their body is destroyed countless times, they can still be reborn!

“Who exactly are you? Daring to break in here, are you looking for death?” the Palace Master asked again.

Ethan sneered, “If your nascent soul really forms, I might not dare to provoke you. But it’s a pity that you’re in the crucial moment of breaking your core and forming your nascent soul, right?”

The Palace Master’s face changed involuntarily.

Just as Ethan said, entering the Martial Saint Realm necessarily involved the process of breaking the core and forming the nascent soul!

During this process, when one’s golden core shatters and the nascent soul hasn’t successfully formed yet, they become extremely weak! All their cultivation will be exhausted, leaving them no different from ordinary people!

Therefore, when one enters the Martial Saint Realm, they must have a guardian!

“Young man, it seems like we have no grudge against each other. Why do you want to stop me?” The Palace Master took a deep breath and tried to sound as calm as possible.

Ethan ignored his question and stroked his chin, “Judging from your current state, you’ll need at most three days to successfully form your nascent soul. By then, you’ll truly be invincible…”

Ethan calculated the time, and if he hadn’t arrived, the Palace Master would have entered the Martial Saint Realm on the first day after the New Year.

“It seems that their prediction was correct. Someone will indeed step into the Martial Saint Realm after the New Year,” Ethan said solemnly.

This made Ethan feel a strong pressure.

Since this Ice Palace Master could enter the Martial Saint Realm, it was likely that other people were also attempting to do so!

Once someone successfully enters the Martial Saint Realm, the Guardians’ agreement would cease to exist!

By then, the Capital City Martial Arts Association would send out Martial Saints without any restraint!

“Young man, I can see that you’re talented at a young age. How about joining my Ice Palace? I can make you the Ice Palace Vice Master!” the Palace Master continued.

With narrowed eyes, Ethan didn’t respond.

“If that’s not enough, we can be on equal footing. How about it?” the Palace Master pressed on.

“As long as I enter the Martial Saint Realm, no one in the world will be able to stop me! By then, my Ice Palace can have whatever it wants!”

“And you will have the same treatment as me! You will have half of everything I own!”

Watching the Palace Master’s frantic demeanor, Ethan couldn’t help but sneer.

“The thing above your head is the Ice Glazed Heart, right?” Ethan asked.

Hearing this, the Palace Master quickly responded, “As long as you like it, you can take this Ice Glazed Heart!”

“Hahaha!” Ethan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“If you really step into the Martial Saint Realm, I’m afraid you’ll kill me immediately, right?”

“I won’t! I swear to the heavens!” the Palace Master quickly replied.

“Don’t waste time. With your current state, you’ll need at least three more days to successfully enter the Martial Saint Realm,” Ethan sneered.

“Do you think you can delay for three days?”

The Palace Master grew even more anxious and blurted out, “What do you want before you’re willing to spare me? No matter the conditions, name them!”

Ethan didn’t respond. Instead, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of the scene.

“Alright, it’s time to report back.” Ethan put away his phone, and his face gradually turned colder.

He emitted a terrifying golden light from his body, and an even more terrifying murderous spirit made people shudder!

Feeling the murderous spirit emanating from Ethan, the Palace Master’s face changed instantly.

“Kid! Are you really going to do this?” the Palace Master roared.

Ethan looked at the nascent soul that was about to form, grinned, and said, “Not only can I take away the Ice Glazed Heart on this trip, but I can also absorb your nascent soul. It seems that there should be no problem stepping into the Martial Saint Realm…”
