Bai Pu further thought that when he previously obtained a Holy Artifact, the Spirit Realm Will would immediately issue a "Cleaner Mission," requesting the recovery of the Holy Artifact and providing a reward.

But this time, Bai Pu obtained two Holy Artifacts in succession, and the Spirit Realm Will showed no response.

This indicates that both Holy Artifacts held by the Divine Favorers have had their Source Material Fragments (Divine Power Crystals) extracted, leaving only empty shells.

"These two Holy Artifact shells can’t be used as equipment; should I sell them to the Spirit Realm Will as scrap?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Bai Pu shook his head, having a vague feeling that these two empty shells were still useful, so he put them away for now.

After receiving a response from the Divine of Faith, Bozo and the others gained confidence. They followed Bai Pu’s suggestion to various Thorn Church branches, checking documentary records and investigating clues about the Lost City.

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate every Divine Gift Land, and find a new Holy Artifact to offer to our God." Bozo was a bit fanatical.

Other factions, such as the Night Goddess Church and Sun Church, began to take action as well.

Bai Pu had already sown the seeds, and he himself settled in Miulan City, focusing on cultivation.

Not to mention, having four Bishop-level servants is rare and must be utilized to the fullest.

In the battle of the Rocky Sheep Corridor, one Bishop’s servant died, but when Bai Pu’s team returned to the Southwest Jungle, sweeping through various cities, they managed to control another one.

The four Bishop’s servants together performed the Suffering Ceremony for Bai Pu.

To be precise, it was an incomplete Suffering Ceremony.

A complete Suffering Ceremony creates a Spiritual World where devotees embrace suffering, attracting the Master of Suffering’s favor, bestowing divine grace to transform the devotees.

Bai Pu is now the leading figure of the Thorn Cutter, having eliminated two Lord-level forces of the Thorn Church. He is unsure if the Master of Suffering has already targeted him, so he naturally does not want to present himself on a silver platter.

Therefore, the four Bishop’s servants only created a Spiritual World for Bai Pu, facilitating the cultivation of Mystical Arts and Skills.

Bai Pu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, entering the Spiritual World.

All around was a vast white expanse, an absolute space of "Nothingness."

"Set the environment to the coldest place on the Original Sin Continent," Bai Pu commanded. He intended to use the Flame God Stone to comprehend the Fire Mystical Arts.

Why cultivate the Fire Mystical Arts now?

Because Bai Pu’s ultimate goal for this cultivation was the Four-star Secret Technique: Melt Gold Armor.

The prerequisite for cultivating Melt Gold Armor is the Melt Gold Mystical Arts. However, mastery of any Earth, Gold, or Fire Element Mystical Arts can bypass the prerequisite.

Bai Pu actually already met the cultivation conditions since the Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts belong to the Earth Element Mystical Arts.

However, the types of mastered Mystical Arts will undoubtedly affect the final effect of the Mystical Arts skills. Bai Pu planned to comprehend another Fire Element Mystical Arts, so that the power when mastering the Melt Gold Armor would be stronger.

The white space transformed, and before Bai Pu, a frozen land appeared instantly.

Underfoot was ice and snow of unknown thickness, with distant icebergs and snow peaks, and nearby ice valleys and crevices.

A bitter ice wind howled by, quickly adorning Bai Pu’s eyelashes and eyebrows with a layer of snowflakes.

Bai Pu shifted his mind, canceling all protections on himself, and sat cross-legged naked in this icy and snowy landscape.

Here, a simulation of the environment of the Northern Icefield of the Original Sin World, a place devoid of human presence and rare in beasts.

If ordinary humans were in such an environment, without any protection, they would die in minutes.

But for Bai Pu, whose Basic Endurance was as high as 75, the cold here was still lacking.

As evidence, Bai Pu held a "Flame God Stone" and meditated for a long time without any reaction.

"This environment is not enough; is there a colder place?" Bai Pu consulted with a thought.

A telepathic message from a Bishop’s servant floated over: "It’s colder when the White Storm sweeps through the icefield."

"Good, then let’s have a White Storm, simulate the most intense White Storm you’ve seen," Bai Pu said.

The howling cold wind lifted layers upon layers of snowflakes, creating a raging dragon sweeping over, engulfing Bai Pu’s small figure completely.

This was the White Storm. At this moment, the severe cold had dropped to minus one hundred degrees Celsius. Even hard steel would become extremely brittle under such extreme cold, with human cells likely freezing because of the water inside.

Due to the Spiritual Particles’ intensity in the Original Sin World being 3.6 times that of Earth, the cold storm here had more destructive power and influence than on Earth.

Bai Pu’s senses became a bit slow, reminding him of Haotian’s Mystical Arts ability: Thought Freeze. However, compared to the might of the Advanced Spirit Realm, Haotian’s Thought Freeze ability was merely child’s play.

Bai Pu’s Life Value began to slowly decrease. Although this was the Spiritual World where his consciousness was, it would reflect into reality—if his Life Value were to be exhausted in the Spiritual World, Bai Pu in reality would also die.

But even so, the Flame God Stone in Bai Pu’s palm still showed no reaction.

"It seems the White Storm on the extreme cold icefield of the Original Sin World is still not cold enough for me."

According to the Thorn Cutter from the Sun Church, the Flame God Stone needs to be comprehended in an extreme cold environment to seek a spark in dire straits, spiritually arousing the Fire Divine Power contained within the Flame God Stone.

For ordinary people, a White Storm on the icefield is arguably dire straits. But for Bai Pu, this survival-capable monster, it indeed falls short.

"Master, the most extreme cold environment we can simulate only reaches this level. We can’t imagine a colder environment!"

A telepathic message from a Bishop’s servant.

What has not been seen cannot be perfectly simulated in the Spiritual World.

Bai Pu said, "You can change your thinking a bit, don’t stubbornly stick to natural environments. Artificially refined Icy Energy is surely more extreme than the natural environments of the Original Sin World, causing higher cold damage. For example, your Freezing Beam? Try creating an environment filled with Freezing Beams."

The four Bishop’s servants were devoid of wisdom; all they could do was obey Bai Pu’s orders.

In an instant, the scene changed again, and on the distant snowy mountains, prism after prism rose!

The ice and snow of the White Storm were drawn to one side of the prisms, then through extreme compression, turned into streams of Icy Energy that froze everything, surging towards Bai Pu.

Now, combined by the efforts of the four Bishop’s servants, the freezing energy created was much more powerful than in reality. Even an ordinary Magic Lord could not launch such an attack.

Fortunately, following Bai Pu’s guidance, the Bishop’s servants transformed the Freezing Beam into a gentler stream of Icy Energy, changing explosive blasts to slow erosion.

Otherwise, even with Bai Pu’s skills fully activated, facing this max-version Freezing Beam, he couldn’t last a few minutes.

Bai Pu was instantly frozen, with ice flowers blooming on his body surface, rapidly turning into an ice sculpture! As the icy energy stream eroded, the ice sculpture quickly thickened, soon forming a large block of solid ice.

Snowflakes covered it, and the ice solidified into a snowy mountain. Bai Pu was buried under this snowy mountain, silent and motionless.

The four Bishop’s servants continued to faithfully execute Bai Pu’s orders, reinforcing and thickening the ice mountain.
