—------------------—
The Wanzai Xuanbing Cave is located under the cold pond. When you first enter it, you will be hit by a tremendous cold air.
Xu Tianxi and Xiao Changfeng were both people with strong cultivation. With a shock of their soul power surrounding their bodies, they were immediately immune to the cold.
"Such a bone-chilling cold. If left outside, it would freeze an ordinary Soul Emperor to death."
Xu Tianxi fell down the cold spring, opening his palms along the way to absorb the cold air, and the soul power in his body quickly became active.
The Earth Dragon Gate had set up a mechanism deep in the cold spring. Xu Tianxi used his mental power to find the mechanism. Xiao Changfeng slapped open a small door that only allowed one person to enter. The bone-chilling coldness was immediately released, causing both of them to change their expressions.
The coldness here is as intense as the Frost Spring in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Even a master at the Soul Douluo level cannot stay under the cover of such coldness for long.
Xu Tianxi's mental power spread like ripples, and he glimpsed the scene in the cave inside the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the cave that extended only about thirty meters inward, there was no Wanzai Xuanbing Sui that could improve cultivation, but there were a large number of ice-attribute crystals, which were surprisingly the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals that accompanied the Wanzai Xuanbing Sui.
This ice crystal is extremely cold, transparent and flawless, sparkling with metallic luster, and contains enormous spirituality and energy. It can be regarded as an extremely special and rare metal.
However, this rare metal is too difficult to handle. Processing alone is a huge problem. Ordinary ninth-level soul masters cannot use it properly, and ordinary carving knives are simply unable to engrave the core magic circle.
In Xu Tianxi's perception, the quality of this metal is much higher than the thousand-forged grade sunken silver he forged himself. If we make an analogy, the quality is comparable to the spiritual alloy made of two or three metals.
Xuan Ziwen was able to make two sets of battle armor using the crude means of this era. The battle armor made by Huo Yuhao has a power of between two and three characters, and the battle armor given to Nan Qiuqiu can allow the Soul Douluo to temporarily possess the combat power of a Titled Douluo, which shows the high quality of the material itself.
If he takes it back and figures out how to process it, he will definitely get a big reward. Besides him, Meng Hongchen can also use this kind of thing. She has taken care of him so much in the past, so it is only right that he gives her a gift. Xu Tianxi thought leisurely.
In the sea of spirits, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was most familiar with this kind of breath, opened his eyes like a cat smelling fish, swallowed his saliva, and sighed:
"Hey, this, this, isn't this the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that accompanies the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave? There's a Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave here?!"
As an idealistic silkworm, he remembered very well what opportunity it was that enabled him to have a million years of cultivation.
That's the feeling, a cave of eternal black ice!
The Ice Emperor was even more excited than the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. She flew out directly from the sea of consciousness and turned into a ball of green light and shadow, circling in the cave with a radius of 30 meters, looking left and right, as if she had found a treasure.
Xiao Changfeng knew that Xu Tianxi had an extraordinary opportunity. Even the Ice Emperor Scorpion Ice Emperor in the Far North was his soul. But when he saw the existence of the Ice Emperor with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Tianxi, you have such a great opportunity. It seems that it won't be long before you catch up with us, the older generation."
Xu Tianxi chuckled and said modestly, "If an ordinary person said that, I would agree without any problem; but with you, Master, I dare not be so arrogant."
Previously, he pretended to be Zhongli Wu and Xiao Changfeng and acted out several conflicts. Xiao Changfeng's strength was obviously much stronger than the first and second elders of Haotian Sect, and he was not their opponent now.
Xiao Changfeng shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Why be so modest? At your age, your achievements are comparable to those of us who have practiced hard for dozens or even hundreds of years. If you were in our time, I wonder how many geniuses would be embarrassed to death."
"Your father was also a local prodigy when he was young, but you have surpassed him in cultivation so far. Just thinking about it makes me feel that he is incompetent. Apart from the level of soul power, he cannot match you in any other aspect."
In the previous rough collision, he held back his strength, and was deeply shocked by Xu Tianxi's extraordinary fighting power. Whether in mental strength or the state of unity between man and nature, Xu Tianxi surpassed the super Douluo Xu Fu, and he was not just ahead, but far ahead.
The only thing that limits Xu Tianxi's combat power is his own soul power cultivation. Once his soul power breaks through the Titled Douluo, I'm afraid he will be able to challenge the Ultimate Douluo.
And when he cultivates to become a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo... Xiao Changfeng couldn't imagine it. Could he replicate the legend of the Sea God Tang San before he became a god, injuring the God of Angels with the body of a Super Douluo and escaping from the hands of a god?
Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and didn't answer.
He has absorbed countless resources during his cultivation. If he did not have amazing combat power, it would be a waste of his resources.
The ancient holy body absorbed a huge amount of resources and became powerful enough to challenge the emperor. His body was not very special, but he had a heart that could shake the gods with his human strength.
At this time, after traveling around the ice cave for several times, the Ice Emperor, still reluctant to leave, floated back and sighed:
"It's truly a treasure from heaven that belongs to those who are destined to obtain it. Dragon City is not far from my Far North, but Xue'er and I haven't come out to explore it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten such a great opportunity today."
"And there's that ridiculously lucky guy Tian Meng. He ate all the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow in our Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Cave in the Far North, turning him into a million-year-old soul beast with no fighting power."
"This Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave is an invaluable treasure to us. If Xue'er had such an ice cave, not only would she not have to worry about her own heavenly tribulation, she could also quickly cultivate to the level where she could face Di Tian head-on. However, now that she has been reincarnated as a human, it's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Bingdi thought of himself, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and then of Xuedi, and sighed repeatedly, his eyes full of eagerness and regret.
In the sea of spirituality, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was cueed for no reason, could no longer sit still and flew out to defend himself:
"Bingbing, you're not right. I stumbled into the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave by accident, which means I'm also a predestined silkworm."
"If I hadn't been born into the Silkworm Clan and hadn't had the habit of dormancy for long periods of time, thus avoiding all the heavenly tribulations, do you dare to say that the absorption of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow by the Snow Empress wouldn't have caused her heavenly tribulations to become even more severe? I see that both Di Tian and the Evil Emperor are extremely wary of the heavenly tribulations, and the Snow Empress is no match for them."
Brother Tianmeng, who looks like a little boy, crossed his arms across his chest, looking like an expert.
Having served as a power bank in the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years, and having witnessed with his own eyes how the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord went to the Star Dou Great Forest for him and had the ultimate battle with Di Tian, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had some understanding of the strength of these two ferocious beast kings.
Di Tian is now trying his best to suppress his own cultivation, fearing that he can't withstand the next heavenly tribulation, and he dares not even absorb more of his energy; the Evil Emperor is even more worried that he can't survive the eighth heavenly tribulation, so he takes the risk and rushes into the most dangerous place in the stars to fight with Di Tian.
In that battle, the Evil Emperor even relied on his powerful mental power and dared to fight against Di Tian while using his mental power to seduce his brother Tian Meng, persuading him to follow him and work together to create a million-year-old soul beast and become a god.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was conceited and smart, so how could he not know that the achievement of true god mentioned by the other party meant swallowing himself up? Of course he refused and thought more urgently about how to escape.
In the end, the Evil Emperor was defeated by Di Tian, who did not use the Dragon God Claw. The Light of Time and Space was launched to injure Di Tian for more than a thousand years. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm boasted that he had seen the battles between the strongest people in the world, and believed that the Xue Di was not as strong as him.
One of them is invincible physically, and the other is invincible mentally. They have a deep understanding of the realm and each has terrifying unique skills. In comparison, Xue Di has no strengths, and her three unique skills cannot compare to theirs.
The Ice Emperor choked at Tianmeng's words and said unhappily, "That's better than a big silkworm like you eating it. If Xue'er eats it, she can represent our Far North and gain supreme prestige. Even if I eat it, I can challenge the Bear King, the Myriad Monster King, and the others. You're unlucky, and you'll be coveted by those ferocious beasts in turn."
"You're saying this as if you don't want to eat me..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to himself that his brother Tianmeng had a really miserable life. Eight of the top ten ferocious beasts on the continent had dealt with him, and most of them wanted to eat him.
Come to think of it, Xue Di was more generous and never caused him any trouble.
"But it's okay. When I follow Tianxi and become an eternal god, I'll be able to stand in the divine realm and watch you guys fall one by one under the heavenly tribulation. When I have time, I will definitely erect a monument for you in the divine realm, sing a few songs and do some dances, and give you a proper farewell!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seeks truth from facts and figures out the most appropriate way of revenge, using time to outlast his enemies!
Xu Tianxi had a close relationship with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and he could probably guess what he was planning. With a twitching mouth, he decided to do his best to meet his expectations. He took out a bunch of pre-prepared excavation tools, handed one to Xiao Changfeng, covered his palm with soul power, and was about to go up to excavate the ice.
"Master, these metals are useless for cultivation, but I have a special use for them. Leave them to me. You can go to the deeper Wanzai Xuanbing Cave first."
Xiao Changfeng glanced at the hard hat, chisel, and awl that Xu Tianxi handed over. His cheeks twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath, then smiled caringly like an elder: "No, no, I'll go with you."
After saying that, he weighed the thing in his hand, and imitating Xu Tianxi's familiar method, he began to use the ultimate ice soul power to integrate it into the Ice Pole Divine Crystal and remove it from the Ice Pole.
This is my first time doing this kind of work and I'm not very good at it. I can't let anyone know about this embarrassing thing of not being as good as the younger generation.
Xu Tianxi moved back and forth in the ice cave like an old miner, chiseling and asking questions to the two authoritative figures beside him.
"Brother Tianmeng, how much of this thing do we need to remove before it regenerates? When we seize opportunities, we must not destroy the roots of natural treasures, at least leaving a glimmer of hope for those who come after us."
"I don't know. At that time, I was only focused on eating the Wanzai Xuanbing Marrow and didn't pay attention to this thing." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said that he had a lot of things to do and had to focus all his energy on eating and sleeping.
The Ice Emperor quickly replied, "That's easy. The Ice Pole Divine Crystal is a by-product of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave. As long as you don't take all the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Essence from the deeper caves, the Ice Pole Divine Crystal will regenerate sooner or later."
"That's great, no need to worry for now."
Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Brother Tianmeng, are there any other Ice Extreme Divine Crystals in those Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Caves you visited before? If so, I'd like to try my best to utilize them."
In the original novel, after Xuan Ziwen made a deluxe version for Huo Yuhao, the remaining materials could only make a beggar version for Nan Qiuqiu, which was of a lower quality.
Of course it would be best to build a more advanced set for Meng Hongchen, so I had to think of other ice caves.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm thought for a moment and replied, "The Wanzai Xuanbing Cave I visited didn't contain any accompanying Ice Extreme Divine Crystals."
Xu Tianxi lowered his eyebrows upon hearing this, feeling somewhat disappointed. This was not going to be easy...
At this time, the Ice Emperor spoke again: "The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is in our imperial clan."
Xu Tianxi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Ice Emperor, what do you mean..."
"Why do you think we know about the companion substance of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the Mysterious Ice Marrow? It's because we've discovered it before."
The Ice Emperor sighed and said, "It's just that the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow in the ice cave that this emperor discovered has been completely mined. Only some ice crystals that the soul beasts cannot digest remain. I took them back after discovering them."
"No one knows how to use those things. I wanted to make a suitable weapon for Xue'er, but when I took it out, I realized I couldn't make it either. Now they are all kept in the clan."
"That's good." Xu Tianxi nodded and said with a smile:
"Then, Ice Emperor, how about leaving this task to me? After we get out, you take us to the Far North to retrieve the stored items. I'll use those Ice Divine Crystals to make a set of armor for Xue Di. If there's any left, you can give the rest to me, okay?"
Bingdi's brown pupils suddenly brightened several times, and he nodded rapidly: "Thank you very much."
