Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 86 The Palace of the Ice God's Legacy
"Mating...?"

Dugu Han was speechless.

What kind of inappropriate and lewd words are these!

Moreover, how can human affairs be measured by the word "mating"?
"Isn't that right?"

Xue Di's eyes showed confusion. All she had seen in the past month was mating!

"That's not right. In our human world, we don't use the word 'mating,' we say 'doing'..."

Dugu Han shook his head and said, "Why would I tell you this?"

"correct!"

He suddenly realized something and looked at Xue Di in shock: "You came a month ago, so for the past month, haven't you been watching us the whole time?"

"Yup!"

Xue Di nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with her actions.

"you……"

Dugu Han opened his mouth, but then fell silent!
"Is there a problem?" Xue Di asked, puzzled.

"No...no!"

Dugu Han twitched the corners of his mouth, somewhat helplessly.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely kill that person, and he would call in reinforcements to kill him too.

But Xue Di...

Even if they call in reinforcements themselves, they still can't beat them.

Fortunately, Xue Di is a soul beast, and a female one at that.

After realizing this, Dugu Han felt much better and looked at Xue Di again, asking, "Why did you suddenly come out of seclusion? You haven't even undergone the seven hundred thousand year tribulation yet."

"I've come to ask for your help."

Xue Di recalled the strange palace she had encountered before and said, "I want you to help me identify a place."

After saying that, she took two strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow from the bracelet she had made, removed the seal, and handed them to Dugu Han.

"Before I came here, I encountered Xiaobai who went to fight Atai. It said that you need the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Marrow to replenish the origin of your external soul bone."

Dugu Han looked at the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow handed to him but did not take it, and instead fell silent.

The Snow Empress lived in the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, and her understanding of the far north far surpassed that of any other person in the world, including any other soul beast.

How could there be places in the far north that she didn't know about?

Do I, a human being, really need to discern this?

"It's a palace!"

Xue Di looked at the silent Dugu Han and explained, "It's the palace of the Ice God's inheritance, but I can't be sure. You said you already know about a divine inheritance, so I want you to help me identify it."

"The legacy of the Ice God?"

Upon hearing this term, Dugu Han's eyes widened immediately, staring at Xue Di in disbelief: "You found the Ice God's legacy?"

"I didn't find it either."

Xue Di gently shook her head and said, "It appeared on its own."

"After absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in the Frozen Canyon, my cultivation level reached seven hundred thousand years, and I am preparing to undergo the seven hundred thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation!"

"But just as I was preparing for my tribulation, I suddenly felt a summons. I followed the summons and entered a palace I had never seen before. Inside was a statue of the Ice God, and a voice was urging me to take human form."

Xue Di looked puzzled as she spoke.

She has lived in the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, and the Frozen Canyon is her home, but she has never seen any palace in the Frozen Canyon.

Therefore, she was certain that the palace had appeared suddenly.

Moreover, the statue inside does indeed resemble the Ice God.

But as soon as she entered the palace and stepped onto a magical ice platform, a voice appeared in her mind urging her to take human form.

However, she couldn't be sure if it was the Ice God's inheritance. If it wasn't, she wouldn't be able to become a god after transforming into human form, and her lifespan would only be two or three hundred years!

Therefore, she needs Dugu Han to help her confirm it.

"There's a 90% chance it's the Ice God's legacy!"

Dugu Han looked at Xue Di with a hint of envy.

The Ice God's lineage manifested itself and summoned the Snow Empress, urging her to take human form. This clearly indicates that the Snow Empress has been designated as the successor to the divine throne!
But there was one thing Dugu Han didn't understand!

In the original work, the Snow Empress never said that she had found the inheritance of the Ice God.

How come the Ice God's legacy has suddenly appeared now?

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Han stopped thinking about it. In any case, it was a good thing that Xue Di found the inheritance of the Ice God.

And he can also get a share of the profits!

The divine position is inherited by the Snow Empress, but the divine trial can quickly improve one's strength.

With this in mind, Dugu Han no longer hesitated. After receiving the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow handed over by the Snow Emperor into the Moon Goddess's Tear, he prepared to go inside and wake Zhang Lexuan up so they could go to the Ice God's Inheritance Palace together.

"She can't go!"

Upon seeing this, Xue Di waved her right hand, freezing the door shut.

No matter how hard Dugu Han tried, he couldn't pull it apart.

"She's my girlfriend!"

Dugu Han explained, "The Ice God's inheritance is definitely yours; no one can take it away. However, we can participate in the Divine Trial to quickly improve our strength."

"no!"

Xue Di directly rejected the suggestion to let Zhang Lexuan participate in the divine examination.

The inheritance of the Ice God is of great importance.

If she hadn't needed Dugu Han to help her confirm whether it was truly the Ice God's inheritance, she wouldn't have even told Dugu Han.

Xue Di looked at Dugu Han seriously and said, "You should understand the importance of the succession of the divine position better than I do. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han didn't say anything more. The succession to the divine throne was of great importance, and he could understand why the Snow Empress didn't trust Zhang Lexuan.

"However, I need to tell her before I leave with you."

"can!"

Xue Di nodded slightly, waved her hand, and removed the soul power that had frozen the door.

Dugu Han went in and woke up Zhang Lexuan, who was still fast asleep.

"what happened?"

Zhang Lexuan yawned and asked.

"The Snow Empress has emerged from seclusion. She wants to see me about something, so I'm going out with her," Dugu Han explained, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"She survived a 700,000-year heavenly tribulation?"

Zhang Lexuan sat up, surprised, and said, "I haven't sensed any signs of tribulation during this time?"

"My cultivation has reached 700,000 years, but I haven't transcended the tribulation yet!"

As Dugu Han spoke, he reached out and pulled up the fallen blankets to cover Zhang Lexuan's exposed body.

Zhang Lexuan didn't care much about the accidental exposure of her body. In the past month, every part of her body had been seen, touched, and nibbled by Dugu Han!

However, she was quite curious about Xue Di's meeting with Dugu Han and asked, "What does Xue Di want with you?"

"The secrets of the far north cannot be revealed for the time being."

"Then you pay attention to safety."

Zhang Lexuan wisely refrained from asking further questions, lay back down, yawned, and said, "I'll sleep for a while before getting up again."

"Then you should sleep some more!"

Dugu Han smiled and tucked the blankets around her, then got up and went out, flying towards the Frozen Canyon with Xue Di.

The Frozen Canyon is located in the northernmost part of the core area of ​​the Far North, and it is also the coldest place in the entire Far North.

Upon arriving at the Frozen Canyon, Dugu Han immediately felt a significant change in temperature.

His martial spirit has evolved into an ice dragon, with (pseudo) ultimate ice attribute, so the extremely low temperature here can't cause him any harm.

However, if an ordinary Soul Master appeared here, they definitely wouldn't last ten minutes before being frozen to death.

"This is the Frozen Canyon!"

Xue Di introduced, "This is the place where I was born, and it is also the sacred place of our far north."

“I know about the pilgrimage of soul beasts in the far north. I have seen records of it in my family’s ancient books.”

Dugu Han smiled and nodded, his gaze also turning towards the canyon.

On both sides of the canyon are towering ice walls, with icicles hanging upside down, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, like countless sharp blades that may fall at any moment.

The ice wall is covered with naturally formed patterns. Some patterns resemble rushing rivers, frozen in time; others look like ferocious beasts, as if they will break through the ice at any moment and devour people.

Inside, a biting wind howls through the canyon.

At the bottom of the canyon is a wide and deep glacier, its waters frozen into a thick layer of ice, covered with a thick layer of snow.

Dugu Han followed Xue Di down, stepping on the snow and moving forward.

They stopped only when they reached a huge ice cave.

Standing in front of the ice cave, Xue Di explained, "This was originally the ice wall of the canyon, and it has remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years. It was only when I absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and my cultivation broke through to the Seven Hundred Thousand Years level that this cave suddenly appeared, and it has been calling to me from inside."

"Go in first and then talk!"

Dugu Han gestured for Xue Di to go inside together.

The ice cave was illuminated by a faint, eerie blue light. Its interior was winding and twisting, with strangely shaped ice crystals clinging to the walls. With each step, the crisp sound of ice cracking echoed in the silence.

As the two ventured deeper, the light ahead grew increasingly dazzling.

Soon, the two continued to venture about a kilometer deeper into the ice cave before emerging from the narrow ice cave.

The view opened up dramatically after we emerged from the ice cave.

A magnificent palace appeared before Dugu Han's eyes.

The palace was meticulously carved from a single, enormous block of ice rock, with every detail exquisite and exuding an aura of holiness and majesty.

The enormous, ice-blue gate was so high that its top was invisible, and it was shrouded in icy mist.

Snow Empress stepped forward and placed her jade-like hand on the giant gate.

The next second, a strange fluctuation emanated from the giant gate.

Then, the giant gate slowly opened, revealing an ice-blue hall.

Dugu Han followed Xue Di into the main hall and began to look around.

The floor inside the main hall is a crystal-clear ice surface, reflecting the giant ice shards hanging from the dome and refracting a dreamlike blue light.

The surrounding walls are covered with murals.

The mural depicts an elf born from ice and snow, wielding an ice sword and battling various spirit beasts.

Among them were soul beasts from the far north, such as the Ice Jade Scorpion, Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon, and Frost Snow Lion, which Dugu Han knew.

And the mermaids of the far north, the Abyss Frost Dragon, and various other soul beasts.

In addition, there were some soul beasts that Dugu Han was unfamiliar with, which were not recorded in his ancestral soul beast catalog.

It must be an extinct soul beast.

"This is a portrait of the Ice God!"

Looking at the portrait of the Ice God, the Snow Empress said with a tone of worship, "Legend has it that the Ice God wielded the Emperor Sword and subdued the soul beasts of the entire far north and the far north ice sea, thus becoming a god."

"She is also an elf born from ice and snow, and should be an ice and snow maiden like you."

After Dugu Han finished speaking, he looked at the huge statue in the very center of the palace.

The face on the statue is exactly the same as the woman in the mural.

In front of the statue is an ice platform that gleams with an eerie light.
