Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 253: Ice Crystal and Mysterious Ice Marrow, Four Tests of Light

Seeing Minglei Douluo's silence, Mingyao took a few steps forward.

"Third Elder..."

Hearing the voice, Minglei Douluo came back to his senses and shook his head at the Fate Demon.

"Don't worry, Holy Son, I understand."

The fate demon nodded and said nothing more.

Although Lin Yi took Nan Shuishui away because of the Fate Demon's guidance, Minglei Douluo did not vent his anger on the Fate Demon, because this was the decision of the entire Holy Spirit Church.

Lin Yi still wanted to be Ming Yao, the Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son, and of course he would not give up this identity just because of this action.

In fact, he had already discussed this matter with Zhongli Wu through the fate demon.

Because of Lin Yi's strength, Sun Yue's goal of unifying the Douluo Continent as soon as possible has now completely failed.

The Holy Spirit Church's plan to use the war to obtain souls and flesh and blood has also failed, and the importance of these elites of the Three Kingdoms has also declined.

Although the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire have a cooperative relationship, they are essentially using each other.

Under the current circumstances, there may be a large-scale war, but the intensity will not be too great. If the Holy Spirit Church wants to obtain souls and flesh and blood to the greatest extent possible, it must find a way to make the Sun-Moon Empire and the Three Douluo Kingdoms pull against each other.

Wars with the highest casualty rates are never one-sided. A real meat grinder is when both sides are basically equal in strength but each has their own reasons to fight to the death.

The Sun-Moon Empire has the advantage of soul guides, which is a level that the Three Kingdoms of Douluo cannot reach. If a war breaks out, the Sun-Moon Empire will inevitably have an absolute advantage, which is not in the interests of the Holy Spirit Church.

But Douluo Three Kingdoms is not without advantages. As an empire with a heritage of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the soul masters of the Three Kingdoms still have an advantage over the Sun and Moon Empire.

Releasing the Three Kingdoms elites would allow the Holy Spirit Church to gain more resources.

Of course, the most important thing is Lin Yi’s strength.

If it weren't for the battle in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu that made Zhongli Wu and other high-ranking evil soul masters realize Lin Yi's combat power, the Holy Spirit Church would not have easily agreed to this deal.

However, the Holy Spirit Church understood that if they did not agree, they would not be able to stop Lin Yi from robbing them. In comparison, they could still get some benefits from the transaction.

Such a choice is not difficult.

As for the explanation to the Sun-Moon Empire, Lin Yi's strength is the best explanation.

Because the gap in strength is too big, you can only choose to obey.

Otherwise, not only would the Holy Spirit Church's combat effectiveness be damaged, but the Sun-Moon Empire would also suffer heavy losses.

Two soul guide teams plus a large number of high-level soul guides are not enough to stop Lin Yi. If the Sun-Moon Empire loses these, it will not only suffer serious damage, but will also suffer physical pain.

As for the vitality that Lin Yi paid, of course it all fell into the hands of the life demon.

This is Zhongli Wu’s promise.

Seeing that the status of the Life Demon in the Holy Spirit Church is becoming more and more important, Zhongli Wu naturally has to show his sincerity.

The reward for this Three Kingdoms Elite card is Zhongli Wu's additional investment in the Fate Demon.

Although Minglei Douluo was the third elder, he had no right to refute Zhongli Wu and could only watch the beautiful woman he had won fly away.

Not long after, Lin Yi brought Nan Shuishui to find Nan Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong and his group.

"mom!"

When she saw Nan Shuishui, Nan Qiuqiu immediately rushed over and hugged her mother to vent her emotions.

Killing, imprisonment, separation, rescue, and reunion.

In just a few days, this little girl experienced a lot. Her previously heartless personality quickly became stable in these few days.

Nan Shuishui hugged her daughter. After all, she was her own flesh and blood. Seeing her daughter like this, how could she not feel heartbroken?

Nan Qiuqiu, who had been crying, quickly calmed down. She forced herself to break away from her mother's arms, walked to Lin Yi in front of everyone's surprised gazes, and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Lin, for rescuing my mother. Qiuqiu is willing to keep her promise and serve as a slave to repay your great kindness."

Even with Lin Yi's usual wit, he was a little at a loss at this moment.

He had already refused before leaving, so why was this girl still so stubborn?

Especially since this happened in front of the other person's own mother, how would others view him, the leader of the Golden Pavilion, in such a scene?

Lin Yi looked at Yu Tianlong for help.

In essence, this incident was caused by him, and Yu Tianlong has the obligation to be responsible for the current situation.

Facing Lin Yi's gaze, Yu Tianlong felt his scalp tingling. He didn't know how to start in this tricky situation.

After thinking about it, Yu Tianlong avoided Lin Yi's gaze and pretended not to see it.

This was a matter between the Dilong Sect and Lin Yi. As the young master of the Tianlong Sect, it was not convenient for him to intervene. If it were not for his respect for Nan Shuishui, the master of the Dilong Sect, Yu Tianlong would have thought of taking his men and running away.

Seeing Yu Tianlong looking away, Lin Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes. I'm trying to help you out of kindness, but you're ignoring my predicament?
I'll ask Beibei to go find you at Tianlongmen and beat you up in front of all your sect disciples. Do you believe it? I'll beat you into a pig's head.
Feeling relieved, Lin Yi could only deal with the situation on his own.

He used his soul power to force Nan Qiuqiu to stand up, and Lin Yi turned his gaze to Nan Shuishui.

"This is what your daughter said on her own initiative. I did not force her. Saving the Master of the South Gate was just a matter of convenience. There is no need to do this."

After all, he was the leader of a sect. Nan Shuishui sorted out the whole cause and effect in an instant and bowed to Lin Yi.

“Pavilion Master Lin is too modest. For you, this is just a favor. But for our Dilongmen, this is no less than a favor of rebirth. Although Dilongmen is small, we are not ungrateful.

Although Qiuqiu is the young master of our Dilongmen, being a servant of the Pavilion Master is beyond my reach. Moreover, our Dilongmen still needs to be inherited. If the Pavilion Master does not mind, Dilongmen is willing to offer the sect's secret treasure to repay the Pavilion Master's great kindness."

Lin Yi's eyes flashed. This leader of the Dilong Sect was truly extraordinary. No wonder she could be in charge of the Dilong Sect as a woman.

He is quite powerful, with the eighth ring of cultivation. With the help of the annihilation attribute of the Annihilation Rouge Dragon, he can fight against ordinary Titled Douluo. This is considered to be a top-level strength among the sects on the mainland.

The combat power of Titled Douluo is high-end wherever it is.

But compared to his strength, the South Gate Master's skills, or wisdom, are even more extraordinary.

It was obvious that Lin Yi was somewhat resistant to Nan Qiuqiu's way of repaying her gratitude by becoming a slave, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, this was the reward Nan Qiuqiu offered for giving up her freedom and even her self-respect. If he rejected it bluntly, it would inevitably hurt this filial little girl, and that was not something that a decent man like Lin Yi could do.

Nan Shuishui's words are very good.

Lin Yi's strength and status are too high, Nan Qiuqiu is not worthy of him.

Anyone can tell that this is self-deprecating, but people feel comfortable listening to such flattering words.

Then Nan Shuishui said that Nan Qiuqiu also wanted to inherit Dilongmen, giving Lin Yi another reason to refuse.

The reason for not agreeing is not because he looks down on it, but because he cannot bear to see the Longmen inheritance cut off.

In this way, Lin Yi's dignity and face were taken care of completely.

Afterwards, he was even willing to offer the sect's secret treasure as compensation.

But this is more than just compensation. As long as Lin Yi accepts it, Dilongmen will be able to establish a relationship with Lin Yi, and even Shrek. For Dilongmen, whose strongest member is only a Soul Douluo, this is definitely a great opportunity.

Moreover, it seemed difficult for Lin Yi to refuse.

People said that it was just a convenient thing for Lin Yi, but it was a great favor to Dilongmen. Such a favor must be repaid, even though Dilongmen was just a small sect.

If Lin Yi did not accept it, it would inevitably appear that he looked down on Dilongmen, not to mention that he was also trying to compensate Nan Qiuqiu.

This is not coercion, the words are quite nice.

But this was also forced, forcing Lin Yi to refuse at all.

Coincidentally, Lin Yi had no intention of refusing. Somehow, he knew that the opportunity should be here.

With Lin Yi's current cultivation and strength, he still feels that he has a chance. It is conceivable how precious the so-called secret treasure of the Dilongmen sect is.

But this secret treasure is in a small sect like Dilongmen.

There are two possibilities. One is that the Dilong Sect knows the preciousness of this secret treasure, so it has been kept secret and only circulated among a few people or even only the sect leader.

The other type is that the treasure is hidden by itself, and the people of Dilongmen do not know the true value of the secret treasure and only treat it as an ordinary treasure.

Lin Yi tends to believe the second option.

But you'll know when you see it.

Looking at Nan Shuishui, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.

"Since Master Nanmen says so, I will accept it."

Nan Shuishui's face showed a charming smile. "But I still need to ask Pavilion Master Lin to move to Dragon City and go to the Earth Dragon Gate..."

Lin Yi nodded and looked around at everyone.

"Well, I haven't seen the scenery of the Far North for a long time since I saw it once when I was a child. This time I will go and see it again, and by the way, I will give you a ride."

Then, Lin Yi released his soul power, and sent Nan Shuishui, Yu Tianlong and others straight into the sky.

When it was getting dark, Lin Yi, Nan Shuishui and others landed in front of the gate of Longcheng.

Yu Tianlong bowed to Lin Yi.

"Tianlongmen will always remember Pavilion Master Lin's kindness. If you have time, you may come to our Tianlongmen for a visit. The entire Tianlongmen awaits your arrival."

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, and then Yu Tianlong led the Tianlongmen group back to Tianlongmen.

The Dilong Sect presented treasures to Lin Yi, so they couldn't stay for long. Considering that Yu Tianlong was understanding, Lin Yi reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​asking Beibei to come and beat Yu Tianlong.

Nan Shuishui took a few steps forward and raised her hand to make a gesture.

"Master, please."

After walking in Longcheng for a while, they arrived at the Longmen base in the north of the city.

A huge courtyard appeared in front of Lin Yi.

As the Dilongmen, which is on par with the Tianlongmen, although its strength is slightly inferior, it is also a rare powerful sect. In Longcheng, the Tianlongmen occupies the south of the city, and the Dilongmen occupies the north of the city. Together, they control the entire Longcheng. The other small sects can only rely on the two major sects.

Seeing Nan Shuishui return, the disciples of Dilong Sect guarding the gate were very excited. One of them hurriedly came forward to greet her, while the other saluted and quickly ran into the sect to report the news to the elders and disciples.

Soon, a large number of disciples and several elders gathered together, and they could not hide the joy on their faces when they saw Nan Shuishui.

"Greetings, Sect Master." "Sect Master, you're finally back!"

……

It is obvious that the leader Nan Shuishui is very popular in the Dilong Sect.

It's not surprising. The cultivation levels of Lin Yiguan's elders are only at the Soul Saint level. Nan Shuishui, the eight-ringed Soul Douluo, is the strongest one. Coupled with his skills, it's natural that everyone in the Dilong Sect follows the leader's lead.

Nan Shuishui raised her hand to suppress the voices of the disciples and elders, and moved sideways to make way for Lin Yi.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the current leader of Shrek's Golden Pavilion, His Majesty Zhengji, Lin Yi. This time, we, the elites of the Three Kingdoms, were intercepted and imprisoned by Sun and Moon. Thanks to Leader Lin, we were rescued."

The disciples were in an uproar. No wonder Nan Shuishui and the others returned so late. There was also no news from Tianlongmen. It turned out that it was the Sun and Moon Empire's doing.

It was still the elders who reacted faster and bowed deeply to Lin Yi.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Lin, for your generosity and rescuing our leader."

The disciples hurriedly followed, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Lin."

Lin Yi waved his hand, and gentle soul power spread out, helping everyone up.

Nan Shuishui looked at the elders and disciples with horror in their eyes and said, "Alright, let's all disperse. Pavilion Master Lin has worked hard on the journey, please take a rest first."

Then Nan Shuishui turned and looked at Lin Yi, "Master Lin, do you want to go and see the secret place first or take a rest first?"

"Secret place?"

Nan Shuishui nodded and said, "That's right. Our Longmen has a secret place. It is the only thing that our Longmen can offer to repay the Pavilion Master's great kindness."

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Master Nanmen, you are too polite. Dilongmen has a long history. It must be extraordinary to be the secret place of your sect."

Nan Shuishui keenly sensed Lin Yi's curiosity about the secret place, and without further ado, she said, "If Pavilion Master is interested, why not go and take a look first?"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Nanmen."

Nan Shuishui smiled and said, "Then Pavilion Master Lin, please follow me."

A moment later, in the backyard of Dilongmen, in a very beautiful garden, a well attracted Lin Yi's attention.

"Hmm? Chill?"

Lin Yi, who possessed the ultimate ice and snow attributes, keenly sensed the extraordinary nature of the well.

A flash of surprise crossed Nan Shuishui's eyes.

"Pavilion Master Lin's perception is very sharp. Yes, there is a cold spring under the well. The cold spring contains a special energy that can nourish the soul master's body. Under the cold spring, there is also a cave. The cold air inside is extremely cold. The masters of the Earth Dragon Sect have tried to penetrate it, but they have never been able to penetrate it. Only a title-level ancestor once obtained a small piece of ice ore in it.

Our ancestors believed that there was a small ice-attribute metal vein inside, but it was just a guess. We don’t know the specific situation, but I think with Pavilion Master Lin’s ability, it would not be difficult to explore the situation inside.

I heard that Shrek is now vigorously developing soul guides, so the ice-attributed metal veins here are given to Pavilion Master. No matter what the Pavilion Master gains, it has nothing to do with our Longmen. This secret place is our Longmen’s gift to Pavilion Master Lin.

Feeling the cold air in the well, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. Because of his status as the Lord of the Plane, Lin Yi's perception of the inside was clearer.

There is more than just an ice-attribute vein here. The astonishing cold air cannot be dissipated by a mere vein.

"Master Nanmen, are you sure? Although I can't sense what's in there, only a lot of cold air, but the cold air that can frighten me should not be simple."

Nan Shuishui bowed and said, "Master Lin, you are joking. No matter how precious the treasure is, it is insignificant in the face of life. Master Lin saved my life, so what are these external things compared to me?"

Lin Yi looked at Nan Shuishui with deep eyes and said, "In that case, I will remember the friendship of Dilongmen."

Nan Shuishui's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. This was exactly what she was doing.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Nan Shuishui's attitude has become more respectful.

Lin Yi walked to the wellhead and said, "Master Nanmen, please forgive me for letting me go down and investigate first."

"Master Lin, please do as you please. I will personally guard this place and protect you."

"Thank you."

Then, Lin Yi jumped into the well without hesitation.

According to the information provided by Nan Shuishui, Lin Yi successfully opened the mechanism installed on the ground dragon gate and moved forward in the cave.

The coldness became stronger and stronger, but Lin Yi, who possessed the ultimate ice attribute of the Ice Dragon King, did not care about the coldness at all.

Because the cave was a little dark, Lin Yi also gathered light elements to light up the cave.

Suddenly, an indescribable magnificent scene appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.

The deep blue crystals are translucent and spread all over the cave. The crystals are of different sizes and shine brightly under the illumination of light elements. They are so beautiful that they seem extraordinary.

Lin Yi frowned. This is...

Soon, the Lord of the Plane made Lin Yi understand what this place was.

Wanzai Xuanbing Cave.

A precious land that can breed the mysterious ice marrow that lasts for ten thousand years.

The crystals around it are the by-products of the Wanzai Xuanbingsui, and are called Bingji Divine Crystals.

It is considered to be the world's top-level rare metal with ice properties. Among them, the highest-quality Ice Divine Crystal may even give birth to ice spirits, becoming a natural treasure that contains some breath of life.

Lin Yi released the ultimate ice soul power, collected all the ice divine crystals, and left the cave.

He did not rush back, but looked towards the eye of the cold spring.

Since it is the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave, it naturally has the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow. Even if some of the power is consumed in the formation of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, there should still be some Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow.

That is a top-grade natural treasure with ice attribute, which contains the purest ice-attributed elemental energy of heaven and earth.

The reason why the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was able to become the first and only million-year soul beast on the continent was because it once absorbed the ten-thousand-year black ice marrow nurtured by an entire ten-thousand-year black ice cave in the far north.

If Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor could obtain such treasures, a mere heavenly tribulation would not have caused them such trouble.

The Snow Empress would not be seriously injured while condensing her second soul core and would not sign a contract with Lin Yi. The Ice Empress would not be controlled by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and would not become Huo Yuhao's soul ring. The situation in the Far North would also change.

However, it is not bad now. Although the Ice Emperor has become Huo Yuhao's soul ring, as the former son of destiny, a god position is not a problem for him, and the eternal life that the Ice Emperor expects is not difficult.

The Snow Queen was healed of her injuries by Alex and the God of Light, and successfully condensed her second soul core, having survived the 700,000-year heavenly tribulation. As long as Lin Yi becomes a god, they can achieve eternal life together.

Lin Yi cleared his mind and dived directly.

The deeper you go, the stronger the cold and pressure become. Plus, it's difficult to breathe underwater. No wonder it's been so difficult to clearly explore the situation inside the Earth Dragon Gate for many years.

But to Lin Yi, these are just trivial matters.

Even if Lin Yi only relied on his original fighting strength, this chill would be nothing.

The Ice Dragon King's ultimate ice level is too high. Even though the temperature here has become equal to the extremely cold ice spring in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire as Lin Yi dives down, Lin Yi is still unaffected.

As Lin Yi dived down at a high speed, finally, after crossing a barrier, Lin Yi felt his whole body suddenly become lighter, and he came to a completely dark space.

There is no water here, only almost sticky ice elements. With every breath, a large amount of ice elements want to penetrate into Lin Yi's body.

Frowning slightly, Lin Yi lit up this place with his own soul power, and the true appearance of the space appeared in front of Lin Yi.

This is a small space of ten square meters with a height of only one and a half meters. No wonder it is impossible to stand upright.

It is worth mentioning that because the space is closed and ice elements are constantly gathering, the temperature here is infinitely close to absolute zero, but Lin Yi still doesn't feel much, he just feels that the coolness is very comfortable.

After obtaining the ultimate ice attribute, this was a feeling Lin Yi had not had for a long time.

Looking around, more than forty strands of ten-thousand-year-old black ice marrow stood there quietly, as if waiting for Lin Yi to use them.

Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. The sudden inspiration in his mind really brought him another opportunity.

If he absorbed these ten thousand years of black ice marrow, it would not be difficult for him to become an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. After condensing the eighth soul ring, it would be enough to push Lin Yi's soul power up several levels, which could save Lin Yi a lot of time.

However, Lin Yi did not immediately start absorbing this ten thousand year old black ice marrow.

Although the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow is precious, it is not particularly suitable for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, who has evolved the golden tree into the world tree, now needs more pure energy, preferably without any attributes. If he completely absorbs these ten thousand years of black ice marrow, the ice element may be too powerful and affect the balance of the small world within the world tree.

Even if the small world can adjust itself, it is not as worry-free as pure attributeless energy.

If there is no other way, Lin Yi can only absorb these ten thousand years of black ice marrow to improve his own soul power and become a god as soon as possible.

But now, Lin Yi has other options.

That was the Snow Emperor who had signed a blood-energy pact with Lin Yi.

Through the contract, both parties can obtain feedback on their respective cultivation improvements, and these ten thousand years of black ice marrow can also be used in this way.

Let the Snow Empress absorb it first, and then Lin Yi will get the feedback of pure attributeless energy, which is equivalent to using the Snow Empress as an ice attribute filter.

Although it may result in Lin Yi's final energy gain being less than directly absorbing these ten thousand years of black ice marrow, the slight loss is still within Lin Yi's acceptable range.

Moreover, Lin Yi wanted to use this to achieve another purpose.

The Snow Empress is the lord of the Far North. Her majesty in the Far North even exceeds that of Emperor Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the far north, the Snow Queen is the absolute emperor, her words are final and she is supreme.

Seeing that Lin Yi was about to put the consolidation of the divine throne on the agenda, he wanted to take the power of faith in the Far North into his possession.

With the contract with the Snow Empress and the more than forty roots of ten thousand year old black ice marrow here, the probability that the Snow Empress will agree is not low.

With the power of faith in the Far North, and the broken angel god position that could be found with the help of Ye Guyi's angel bloodline, Lin Yi's god position would have a foundation.

Lin Yi's expression changed, and the voice of the God of Light rang out from the throne of light between his eyebrows.

"The Four Trials of Light, conquer the Snow Emperor and the entire Far North, and gain the Far North's faith.

Reward: Affinity with the God of Light increases by 10%, soul power increases by two levels, and two divinely bestowed soul rings.

After knowing the contents of the Four Light Tests, the smile on Lin Yi's face became even more intense.

It turns out that it’s easy to get things done when there’s someone higher up.

Welfare is here again.

Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that he would reach level 80 without the help of Snow Empress...
