Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 119 Ice Divine Crystal
Looking at the calm, cold spring before her, Nan Shuishui's expression was complex, but she still spoke:
"This cold spring is rich in spiritual energy, which has the effect of nourishing the body. Cultivating in this area is of great benefit to soul masters, especially ice attribute soul masters."

As she spoke, Nan Shuishui looked up at Shu Yan and Ling Luochen.

Shu Yan did not answer, because at this moment, his spiritual sea had become a chaotic mess, with exclamations, sighs, and screams rising one after another. Finally, it was Xue Di who spoke:
"Shu Yan, go down first. With the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul protecting you, plus Bing'er and me, no low temperature in the world can stop you."

Shu Yan gave a soft "hmm," his consciousness returning. He looked at Ling Luochen beside him and then said softly:

"The temperature down here is too low for your current cultivation level. The ice-attribute elemental energy is abundant in this area. You should stay here and cultivate for now. I'll come up when you arrive."

Ling Luochen nodded obediently. She knew she couldn't help Shu Yan much, and in this situation, it was best for her not to cause him any trouble.

She has a very clear understanding of her own position.

Nodding, Shu Yan looked at Nan Shuishui and then chuckled:
"Sect Leader Nan, I'll be going now..."

Nan Shuishui nodded, sighed softly, and then told Shu Yan how to open the cave entrance.

Since there was no turning back now, she might as well be decisive and leave a good impression on Shu Yan. As for the deal Shu Yan mentioned, Nan Shui Shui felt that it was not important. As long as Shu Yan accepted the favor from the Earth Dragon Gate, then everything she did today would be worthwhile.

The situation on the mainland is currently turbulent, and as the leader of a force, Nan Shuishui's sense of smell is undeniably sharp.

It was only a matter of time before the Sun Moon Empire launched another war, and the western part of the Heavenly Soul Empire was all plains with no natural defenses. In addition, there was a huge gap in soul guidance technology. Nan Shuishui was actually very unsure of herself. To be honest, she did not think that the Heavenly Soul Empire could successfully resist the invasion from the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, Dragon City, with its unique geographical location and extremely high strategic significance, will inevitably become one of the main targets of the Sun Moon Empire. Nan Shui Shui does not ask Shu Yan to help them protect Dragon City at that time, but only asks that he can preserve the inheritance of the Earth Dragon Gate.

In the face of disaster, people either selflessly save the world or become selfish and prioritize their own survival.

As the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, Nan Shuishui bears the responsibility for the continuation of the sect and the lives of thousands of people. Therefore, she must remain calm, as this is her duty as the leader.

"Alright, you may go down now. If you need anything, call me through this dragon scale."

A pink dragon scale appeared in Nan Shuishui's hand. Shu Yan did not refuse and took it, putting it into his storage soul tool.

After everything was prepared, a strong chill suddenly burst forth from Shu Yan's body.

Everything around seemed to slow down due to the cold. Frost covered the stone slabs, flowers, and green leaves. Even Ling Luochen and Nan Shuishui's bodies stiffened strangely for a moment until Shu Yan jumped into the well, at which point the cold subsided a little.

The once calm water surface rippled for a moment before the ripples subsided.

Looking at the aloof and elegant Ling Luochen, Nan Shuishui later said softly:
"Judging from your expression, you don't intend to leave with me. Fine, you can wait here. If you need anything, just call the maid who comes to serve you."

Ling Luochen's expression softened slightly. She looked at Nan Shuishui and said very seriously:
"Thank you very much, Senior Nan."

Nan Shui Shui chuckled and waved her hand, then stood up and slowly left, disappearing into the lush flowers and plants in no time...

...The spring water was icy cold and contained abundant spiritual energy. Its temperature was at least below zero, but it did not freeze. However, the deeper one went, the colder it became. Even after only a few breaths of descent, the cold there required an ordinary soul master to quickly expend their soul power to withstand it. In the deeper places, every inch of descent was a great test of one's strength.

With his mental energy probing downwards, Shu Yan's mental energy reached a depth of about thirty meters.

Before coming to the garden, Nan Shui Shui had mentioned that the depth of this cold spring was about thirty meters.

But in reality, this depth is only on the surface. The true Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow lies beneath the spring's eye at the bottom of the spring. If observed with spiritual power, one would find that the color there has turned deep blue, and the temperature is so low that even the three great ice-attribute ferocious beasts are astonished.

Even after reaching a depth of about 27 meters, Shu Yan did not feel any pressure.

Silver light flowed within the ice crystal armor, which was the spatial power that Shu Yan was most proficient in. This armor, which was composed of extreme ice and spatial power, allowed Shu Yan to completely ignore the cold and pressure of the surrounding environment.

Following Professor Nan Shuishui's method, Shu Yan successfully opened the cave entrance. The moment the entrance opened, an even more terrifying cold current rushed out. Shu Yan took a step forward and then went straight into the cave.

There was no water inside the cave. At the entrance, a strange energy blocked the spring water. The cave was not very big, but it was filled with unknown minerals and the temperature was extremely low. Even in the core area of ​​the far north, there was no such low temperature.

With the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul possessing him, a strong emerald green light burst forth from Shu Yan's body, illuminating the entire cave.

The entire cave is composed of various crystals, which are currently blue in color. However, they should actually be dark blue, but they have turned blue because of the emerald green light emanating from Shu Yan's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

These crystals were crystal clear, and under the emerald light, they were filled with a dreamlike beauty. This beauty was indescribable; Shu Yan felt as if he were in a fairyland.

"What a nice view……"

Tianmeng stared in astonishment at the scene before her, then murmured something.

"The ancient ice cave that I found back then didn't have so many Ice Extreme Divine Crystals. I roughly sensed it, and there are quite a few Ice Extreme Divine Crystals in this cave that have already given rise to life..."

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Ayan, let's get started. Let's dig up all these Ice Extreme Divine Crystals first. After that, we still need to find the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. I've already sensed it; the real Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is right beneath that spring."

Hyotei was an impatient person. After recovering from her initial stunned amazement, she immediately began urging Shu Yan to start digging for treasure.

That's right, although the Ice Extreme Crystal is valuable, it's not actually very useful to Shu Yan.

However, the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow is different. Any Soul Master or Soul Beast with the Ice Attribute can obtain great benefits from it.

Just as Shu Yan was about to make his move, a gentle voice suddenly rang out within his mental sea...
