Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 118 The Myriad-Year-Old Ice Cave: The Three Ferocious Beasts Rejoice
Nan Shuishui's tone inevitably carried a hint of solemnity. The leakage of sect secrets was no small matter. To put it more bluntly, it concerned the survival and prosperity of the entire sect. As the sect leader, it would be strange if Nan Shuishui was not worried and shocked.

Shu Yan looked directly into Nan Shuishui's eyes, gaining a deeper understanding of her strength.

A Soul Douluo, without releasing his Martial Soul, seemed even stronger than Han Ruoruo to him. This shows that Nan Shuishui's strength was indeed quite good. Otherwise, the Earth Dragon Gate would not have been able to stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Dragon Gate when its leader was only a Soul Douluo.

Although many aspects are involved, it is undeniable that the Rouge Dragon, which is extremely rare among dragons, does have unique characteristics.

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan spoke:
"Master Nan need not worry so much. I only learned about your sect's secrets by chance, and I can assure you that no one else on the continent knows about this except for me."

Seeing Shu Yan's serious expression and earnest tone, Nan Shui Shui suppressed her worry and astonishment and believed some of what Shu Yan said, but she still felt a little worried.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Shuishui finally spoke:

"My two young friends, let me tell you the truth."

"Even though our ancestors throughout the ages have explored the cave beneath that cold pool, we still haven't fully figured out what's down there."

"Even a Title Douluo cannot withstand the low temperature below for long. Its temperature is so low that it is probably even lower than the temperature in the core of the far north. These are all experiences summarized by our Dragon Gate ancestors. Back then, after I succeeded as the sect leader and broke through to Soul Douluo, I went down there to investigate, but in just a short while, the low temperature forced me out... This shows just how terrifying that low temperature is."

At this point, Nan Shuishui's expression showed a hint of lingering fear.

If she hadn't reacted quickly back then, she probably would have been killed by that extreme cold under the icy spring. Fortunately, she reacted in time and escaped death.

Contra is already the top combat power below the title level. Even Contra couldn't withstand the low temperature. Nan Shui Shui even felt that it was not a temperature that ordinary ice attribute could possess...

Shu Yan didn't care about this. He smiled lightly, then slowly raised his hand. A layer of ice crystals, like diamonds, quickly adhered to it, and white cold air spread out. In an instant, Ling Luochen's body trembled involuntarily beside him, and Nan Shuishui, who was sitting opposite the two, also had her pupils shrink. A faint pink soul power burst out from her body, resisting the seemingly harmless cold air.

“Master Nan, I know that the cave is of great significance to your sect, but as you said, even after a hundred or a thousand years, the Earth Dragon Sect may not be able to fathom its true mysteries. Why not make a deal with me and exchange it for some benefits or resources that are more advantageous to the Earth Dragon Sect?”

"As for low temperatures... I can tell Master Nan with absolute certainty that in the realm of ice and snow, no one in this era or in the future will be able to surpass me."

The ultimate ice-cold jade emperor scorpion and the ultimate ice and snow snow maiden, the two great ancestors of ice-playing are both in him. Unless the ice god is reborn, I'm afraid there will truly be no one in the world who can surpass Shu Yan in the field of ice and snow...

Somewhat unexpectedly, after Shu Yan pulled this stunt, Nan Shuishui remained relatively calm and did not look too bad.

The expression in her eyes changed extremely quickly. Shu Yan could even clearly see the emotion in her eyes change from astonishment to curiosity, and then to a deeper level of astonishment.

After barely suppressing her shock, Nan Shuishui cleared her throat and slowly asked:
"If I remember correctly, your martial soul should be Yazi, but the ability you just displayed is definitely ice-attribute. Is it a martial soul mutation, or..."

Nan Shuishui didn't say the last sentence, but everyone knew that someone as clever as her already knew what was going on.

After a moment of silence, Nan Shuishui said in a dazed tone:
"It's unbelievable. The Yazi Martial Soul alone is already a powerful existence at the top of the pyramid among continental beast Martial Souls. But judging from the chill you just released, the ice attribute of your second Martial Soul is also extremely strong. In fact, based on just that moment's feeling, I can say with absolute certainty that your ice attribute Martial Soul is the most powerful of all the ice attribute Martial Souls I have ever seen... It is even very likely that it is the legendary ultimate Martial Soul... Is that right?"

Shu Yan did not deny it, but said softly:
"In the far north, there is a powerful race called the Ice Jade Scorpion. Their people are born with the ultimate control over ice. Dragon City is close to the far north, so I think the Southern Gate Master should know about this."

"Your second martial soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion!?"

Nan Shuishui became visibly agitated, and even subconsciously slammed her hand on the table in front of her.

As Shu Yan said, Dragon City is close to the far north, and the legends of the three great kings of the far north are widely circulated among men, women, and children in the city. As the master of a quasi-large force, how could Nan Shui Shui not know about these things?

"Not entirely true. Ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions cannot achieve my level of temperature. Compared to ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions, my second martial soul possesses the royal blood of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan, making me far more powerful..."

Shu Yan said softly.

Nan Shuishui's mind raced with thoughts. She simply couldn't imagine how terrifying a peerless genius with two super beast martial souls would be once he truly grew up, or how far he could go in the future...

Her thoughts were in turmoil, but undeniably, her resolve was wavering.

Frankly speaking, even if Shu Yan didn't reveal that he possessed twin martial souls, Nan Shui Shui would still be willing to let him try going to the bottom of that cold spring. At worst, she would have to put in some effort to pull him out when he couldn't take it anymore. Anyway, it wouldn't waste much time or energy, and it would completely extinguish any thoughts Shu Yan might have about it.

Nan Shui Shui and the entire Di Long Men did not want to offend Shu Yan, and were even willing to rack their brains to befriend such a peerless genius as Shu Yan.

Geniuses are like this: you either befriend them or eliminate them... This is a very realistic thing. Nan Shuishui is a smart person, so she naturally doesn't think the latter is feasible. Therefore, her only choice is to befriend them.

After careful consideration, Nan Shuishui made a decision that went against the wishes of her ancestors:

"Let's go, I'll take you both to the backyard. The cold spring is located in the garden in the backyard."

As she led Shu Yan and the other man toward the backyard, Nan Shuishui silently prayed to the ancestors of the Earth Dragon Gate that she wasn't incapable of getting an erection; she was simply wise to be pragmatic...

……

The backyard of Dilongmen is a large garden covering a vast area.

Even though the temperature in Longcheng is not warm throughout the year, there are always seasonal flowers and plants blooming here.

A faint scent of life enters the nasal cavity, accompanied by cool air, making one feel refreshed.

The three of them hadn't gone far when Nan Shuishui stopped beside a well.

The well opening wasn't very large, and it looked like it was for irrigation. The area around the well opening was paved with blue stone slabs, giving it an extremely ordinary appearance.

But Shu Yan sensed something different beneath this ordinariness. As he approached the well, a slight tremor ran through Shu Yan's heart. His Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul seemed to be drawn to release itself. If he hadn't suppressed this feeling, the nearby flowers and plants would probably have been frozen into ice sculptures in an instant by the chilling aura of his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

In Shu Yan's spiritual sea, the attention of Tian Meng, Xue Di, and Bing Di was also simultaneously drawn to it.

Tianmeng sensed the outside world through her mental power and instantly shared what she had learned with the other three. Xue Di frowned slightly, then spoke directly:
"Shu Yan, do you know what's down there?"

Shu Yan spared a moment of attention and then responded softly:
“I know. Below is a cave of ten thousand years of profound ice, while the cave found by the ancestors of the Earth Dragon Gate contains the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, which is associated with the marrow of ten thousand years of profound ice.”

Upon hearing Shu Yan's words, the three ice-attribute ferocious beasts simultaneously fell into a daze.

A moment later, Hyotei's excited, even trembling voice rang out:
"Shu Yan, are you sure? There really is a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave down there?"

Shu Yan gave an affirmative answer again, and this time, even the most composed and calm Xue Di couldn't sit still.

"I see. That explains why I sensed a subtle, alluring aura when you first arrived at this human sect. I initially thought it was just my imagination, but now it seems my intuition was correct."

Tianmeng nodded repeatedly, her big eyes wide open, and then she couldn't contain her excitement and said:
"The Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave is a top-tier treasure for us ice-attribute soul beasts and soul masters, no less than the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. I was fortunate enough to encounter such a Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave in the far north. After consuming the essence of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, I finally grew into a million-year soul beast."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hyotei slapped Tenmu away with her claw, and then her voice, filled with dissatisfaction and bitterness, rang out again:
"All the good stuff has truly been wasted. If I had found that Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Cave, the Beast God might not necessarily be Di Tian..."

Faced with Hyotei's displeasure, Tenmu chuckled and then said as she crawled back:
"It's all about timing and fate, Bingbing, don't dwell on the past."

"However, I really didn't expect there to be a second ten-thousand-year-old ice cave in this world. My spiritual power was significantly affected when I reached the bottom of this cold spring. But judging from the information I have now, this ten-thousand-year-old ice cave is probably decaying. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the temperature here will no longer be enough to sustain the ten-thousand-year-old ice cave. At that time, everything here will disappear..."

"Hehe, but that's a story for another time. We've arrived at just the right time. The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow below is still intact, and it even contains quite a few Ice-Grade Divine Crystals... Hehehe, this time we brothers are really going to strike it rich..."

Hearing Tianmeng's demonic laughter, even Hyotei, who always liked to oppose Tianmeng, didn't utter a word of rebuttal...

Because everything Tianmeng said is true; a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave is enough to create a true miracle!
