On this day, Fang Yu's Ice Element broke through to the High Tier, and he also awakened a new element, the Fire Element.
Next, Fang Yu needed to devote himself fully to cultivation, striving to complete control over his High-Tier Ice stars as soon as possible. As for the Fire Element, it needed to quickly break through to the Mid-Tier before it could become useful in battle.
The next day, the sun rose, and he was still cultivating.
The third day, the sun rose as usual, and he was still cultivating.
The fifth day, the sun still rose, and he was still cultivating…
And just like that, Cultivating felt great for a while, but cultivating nonstop felt even better.
Fang Yu completely immersed himself in the joy of cultivation.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye since Fang Yu awakened his new magic.
During these months, Fang Yu rarely went out.
There was no helping it, cultivating with the transformed ice sphere was simply too satisfying.
Whether it was the growth of his Fire Element cultivation or his control over the High-Tier Ice stars, both advanced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Within his spiritual world, the ice sphere hanging beneath the ancient tree continuously provided support, allowing him to grow stronger nonstop. If Fang Yu still didn't grind hard with such a cheat-like advantage, then he wouldn't even deserve to be called human.
However, Fang Yu had not forgotten certain matters either.
After calculating the timing carefully, he participated in the ranking challenge once every month.
After all, rankings were directly tied to the amount of cultivation time one could obtain in the Three-Step Tower.
On this day, the weather was bright and clear.
After five months of bitter cultivation, with assistance from the ice sphere and the resources of the Three-Step Tower, Fang Yu finally completed control over his Ice stars and could now properly cast High-Tier magic.
His Fire Element had also broken through to Basic-Tier Level Three.
Not only that, Little Snow Girl had devoured large amounts of Spirit Seed fragments and advanced another step during her infant-stage growth, drawing ever closer to the peak of the infant stage.
And as Little Snow Girl reached this stage of growth, Fang Yu sensed that she had brought him a brand-new power.
Moments later, he fused with Little Snow Girl, and a bone-piercing frost spread from his body!
He clenched both fists fiercely, and suddenly two masses of icy frost burst forth. They traced Bagua-shaped arcs and rapidly froze into a ring within a ten-meter radius around Fang Yu. When the ends collided together, a long-lasting field of frost instantly formed around him!
As the frost surged outward, countless Ice Elements from every direction gathered toward him.
The air instantly became saturated with Ice Elements. Fang Yu felt as though he possessed endless icy energy. Everything related to ice became incomparably smooth and effortless. He could summon Ice Vine with a mere wave of his hand, and Ice Lock could be completed with just a thought.
"A Prototype Domain?" Fang Yu exclaimed joyfully.
To outsiders, Fang Yu merely appeared surrounded by a strange layer of frost. Aside from looking imposing and majestic, there didn't seem to be anything particularly special about it.
But anyone standing within it could feel a powerful sense of oppression. Under the coverage of this Ice Domain, the power of other elements was being suppressed!
The air naturally contained all kinds of elements invisible to the naked eye. Only mages could perceive these tiny elemental beings through their senses and spiritual awareness.
Take ice and fire for example.
Simply put, places dense with Ice Elements would become damp and freezing cold.
Places rich with Fire Elements would become dry and scorching hot.
A so-called Domain was when a mage used powerful spiritual intent to summon the elemental energy of a certain type from within several hundred meters, several kilometers, or even greater distances, gathering it into a designated area centered around themselves.
If a mage's spiritual intent was strong enough to greatly increase the concentration of a certain element within their surroundings, then that area would become the mage's elemental Domain.
Within the power of the Domain, the corresponding mage's magic would receive enhancements in power, form, recovery, control, and casting continuity, allowing the mage's mastery over magic to reach an even higher realm.
Beyond that, Domains also suppressed opponents.
After all, if one element became overwhelmingly concentrated in an area, it naturally meant the other elements would weaken.
Therefore, in battles between high-level mages, Domains were an extremely important ability. Whether a mage possessed a Domain or not created an enormous gap in strength between two mages!
Now, Fang Yu had grasped the prototype of a Domain. Combined with the Spirit Seed he possessed, his strength compared to before at the Mid-Tier had undergone a complete rebirth!
And the Domain itself, was a major dividing line in a mage's level of control.
Without a Domain, no matter how high a mage's cultivation rank was, the magic they cast would always remain rigid and formulaic.
But after obtaining a Domain, magic would become power that moved according to one's will, perfectly fused with the mage's thoughts. With a single thought and gesture, magic would instantly form. Even while suffering mental attacks or severe spiritual damage, the mage could still summon defensive techniques at will.
In truth, Domains were not exclusive to High-Tier mages. There were countless High-Tier mages who still lacked one. Fang Yu's current cultivation was still far from directly obtaining a true Domain.
What truly allowed him to touch the Ice Domain was Little Snow Girl's growth after absorbing massive amounts of Spirit Seed fragments during this period.
His fusion with Little Snow Girl combined both of their cultivation levels, granting them greater control over ice or rather, most of that control originated from Little Snow Girl herself.
After all, when it came to mastery over ice, there was nothing more perfect than a lifeform born from pure Ice Elements like Little Snow Girl.
"Little Snow Girl, we've touched the Domain now. Let's work harder, work harder!!" Fang Yu secretly said to his little daughter.
"Ying~~~~~~"
Little Snow Girl was extremely serious. The incomparably noble ice bloodline engraved into her very being had granted her extraordinary talent far beyond ordinary creatures. With only a bit of growth, she was already close to forming a Domain!
"Do your best to summon all the ice elements within a one-kilometer radius over here!" Fang Yu said to Little Snow Girl.
This step required both Fang Yu and Little Snow Girl to work together. If they succeeded, the Domain would take shape. If they failed, who knew when another opportunity like this would appear again.
Ice elements could be viewed as tiny ice spirits drifting between heaven and earth. For them to draw close to a Mage, that Mage needed to be in a state highly compatible with them.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Fang Yu finally opened his eyes. Two tiny glimmers of frost flashed briefly within his dark brown pupils before quickly fading beneath his confident gaze.
It was a little unfortunate that he had not immediately obtained the Ice Domain, but Fang Yu understood that some things could not be forced. At the very least, he had already taken this step ahead of the vast majority of High-tier Mages. He believed that as long as his cultivation continued to improve, or as Little Snow Maiden kept growing, the Domain would inevitably be triggered again.
And when that time came, he would definitely seize the Ice Domain firmly in his grasp!
Domains were incredibly powerful. Even if it had only surrounded him briefly, even if it had merely been a tiny fragment of a Domain, Fang Yu still remembered clearly that feeling of holding the spirit of ice itself in his hands, where everything could be accomplished with the raise of a hand.
That genuine sense of control made every spell no longer restricted to fixed Star Paths, Star Maps, or Constellations. Everything stemmed purely from his own will!
His Ice Element had already reached a bottleneck.
The next step was to focus on his Fire Element, break through to the Mid-Tier as soon as possible, and equip it with a Spirit Seed.
Otherwise, the Fire Element would not be able to display much usefulness.
Unfortunately.
Good Spirit Seeds were priceless treasures. Most of the time, even having money was not enough to buy one.
From then on, Fang Yu began paying attention to whether any Spirit Seeds were being sold on the market. He also informed the Hunter Assistant Zhu Rui of his plans and asked her to help gather information.
