Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 310
Deep within the dark, lightless ice cave, a giant silver dragon coiled like a mountain.

Yan Qiushui could clearly see the scales on the body and the huge dragon head that was as big as a building through a secret method.

Standing before the dragon, she felt as insignificant as an ant.

The stark difference in their physical sizes put immense pressure on Yan Qiushui.

She originally had no concept of god-level life forms, only that Gao Wu said they were stronger than Martial Emperors.

She had only seen the Martial Saint, but she didn't know what the Martial Emperor looked like or how powerful he was.

Upon seeing the ice dragon with her own eyes, Yan Qiushui suddenly understood Gao Wu's description: powerful, extremely powerful!
Could they really kill such powerful life forms?

Yan Qiushui could see that the ice dragon was shrouded in a watery energy field. Even if the ice dragon lay still, she could not break through the ice dragon's energy field no matter how hard she tried.

The only way she could think of to kill the ice dragon was to use a nuclear bomb.

No living thing can withstand the hundreds of millions of degrees of heat from a nuclear explosion, even if that heat lasts only a hundredth of a second.

If the nuclear bomb could be placed in the head or mouth of the ice dragon, it should be able to easily destroy the dragon in the confined space.

Such a simple method could not possibly have escaped the notice of Duke Qin. Nor could Gao Wu have failed to think of it.

That's what Yan Qiushui thought, but she still couldn't help asking Gao Wu, "Why not use a nuclear bomb?"

Gao Wu was a little stunned by the question; he really hadn't thought about it before.

The main reason was that Qin Liuhe had already set up an action plan as soon as he arrived. Regardless of his feelings for Qin Liuhe, he still trusted the Martial Emperor's judgment, wisdom, and ability.

Qin Liuhe was so focused on efficiency that he would have definitely used nuclear weapons if he had the option. Even though he was trapped in the Epang Palace for decades, he must have known about nuclear weapons.

Even nuclear weapons were a project he initiated, listed as the alliance's most important scientific research project. A figure like him must have had his reasons for not using nuclear weapons.

Gao Wu thought for a moment and said, "We'll find out when Lord Qin arrives by asking him."

If he didn't ask clearly, Yan Qiushui would definitely have some thoughts in his mind. Besides, he was also a little curious.

Song Mingyue was also silently watching the ice dragon, and she was also very shocked.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that there were such huge and elegant natural creatures, and that the dragon even had an indescribable divinity.

Standing before a giant dragon, one naturally feels pressure and naturally wants to prostrate oneself in worship.

Perhaps in ancient times, humans saw ice dragons flying in the sky, which gave rise to the concept of dragons.

The concept of the Chinese dragon is very complex, intertwined with mythology and imperial power. It took thousands of years of evolution to arrive at a stable concept of the dragon. This has nothing to do with any real life form, let alone ice dragons.

Song Mingyue then felt that the Ice Dragon and the Xuanming Heavenly Serpent had some similarities.

Her martial arts divine form transformed into the Tai Chi Twin Serpents, but its foundation remained the Xuanming Heavenly Serpent. Observing this ice dragon would also be of great benefit to her cultivation of the Xuanming Heavenly Serpent.

For the next two days, Gao Wu, Song Mingyue, and Yan Qiushui spent all their time circling around the ice dragon, observing it from various angles.

However, none of the three could discern anything; at most, they were only observing its shape.

The three of them had some understanding of the divine intent manifested by the dragon, but each person's understanding was different.

Facing the mighty dragon, deep within the cold, endless ice cave, all three endured immense pressure.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue are doing well; they look after each other and have an unparalleled understanding in both their relationship and cultivation.

Yan Qiushui bore all the pressure alone, and despite her pride, she became quite talkative in the past few days.

She found Gao Wu to be a great conversationalist; he was emotionally intelligent, very humorous, and most importantly, he always exuded a positive and uplifting energy.

Chatting with Gao Wu for a few minutes can greatly relieve her stress.

At the beginning of the year, Yan Qiushui and Gao Wu were cultivating together at Qinglin Garden in Xishan. Although she saw Gao Wu every day at that time, they rarely spoke.

The total amount of time spent in the past three months doesn't amount to as much as the amount of time spent talking in the last two days.

Yan Qiushui suddenly understood Song Mingyue. It's not hard to find a friend, but it's hard to find a friend who matches you in every way.

Finding someone who is compatible with you in every way, and who is also wiser and stronger than you, is extremely difficult.

She knew she might not be in a good state, and under immense pressure, she needed an outlet for her emotions, which naturally made her increasingly fond of Gao Wu.

This isn't a normal relationship...

Yan Qiushui wasn't trying to steal Song Mingyue's man; she just felt that Gao Wu was indeed a good friend, a very, very good friend.

The same goes for Song Mingyue. After a few days, Yan Qiushui discovered that Song Mingyue was also a very good person and a very good friend. "I cultivate the Seven Star Sword of the North Pole, one of its techniques, 'Shifting Stars,' can be used in conjunction with my spatial abilities."

"Among them, 'douzhuan' refers to reversing the state of space, and 'xingyi' refers to opening up spatial channels for displacement."

"You can think of space as a whole. When the enemy launches an attack, you can cut or twist the space containing the enemy and the power they control to redirect the attack. A more sophisticated approach is to separate the enemy and the power they control and then let them collide, causing the enemy to suffer the consequences of their own actions."

"Star Shift is relatively simple. It uses spatial abilities to open a hidden spatial passage, which is extremely useful for both evasion and pursuit..."

When Gao Wu asked for her guidance, Yan Qiushui generously explained in detail her cultivation techniques and spatial abilities.

Gao Wu does not possess spatial abilities; he can only understand spatial changes through the Xuanlong Dao transformations.

Although he has made rapid progress in the Nine Dragons Limitless Path, he is still only at the sixth level in the Profound Dragon Path.

Without the Xuanlong Ring, although the Xuanlong Divine Image he activated could be transformed into an independent space, it could not last.

Furthermore, because of the Xuanlong Ring, Gao Wu almost never activates the Xuanlong Dao transformation during battle, for fear of interfering with the Xuanlong Ring.

Yan Qiushui was far inferior to him in martial arts cultivation, but his mastery of spatial abilities far surpassed his.

The combination of spatial abilities and martial arts is truly remarkable. Although spatial abilities are a talent, they ultimately rely on source energy to trigger changes.

Through the Xuanlong Path, Gao Wu was able to learn the martial arts changes of the Shifting Stars and Stars, and also gain experience from Yan Qiushui's spatial abilities, which can be said to have been a great benefit.

He also explained his understanding of the Xuanlong Dao, which deeply moved Yan Qiushui.

The two chatted amiably, and Song Mingyue listened quietly from the side; the atmosphere among the three was exceptionally harmonious.

Suddenly, the three of them sensed something and looked up, only to see Qin Jiuyue, dressed in a black robe, descending from the sky. The three of them quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted him.

Qin Liuhe glanced at the three people and saw that they were all in stable condition and even in very good spirits, which surprised him slightly.

After all, they were going to kill a god-level ice dragon, which put him under considerable pressure. It was truly remarkable that the children could be so relaxed.

Qin Liuhe asked, "Now that you've made preparations, let's get started."

Gao Wu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord Qin, can we use a nuclear bomb?"

Qin Liuhe glanced at Gao Wu; this didn't seem like a stupid question Gao Wu would ask. But he still patiently explained, "As a divine-level life form, the Ice Dragon, even in its dormant state, constitutes its own divine realm. Real matter cannot enter a divine realm."

"Even with the maximum yield, a nuclear bomb placed on the outer perimeter cannot destroy the Ice Dragon's soul. What we need to do is not kill the Ice Dragon's body, but kill its dragon soul to obtain the Crimson Sky Sword."

Yan Qiushui and Song Mingyue remained silent. Gao Wu nodded repeatedly; this explanation made perfect sense.

Seeing that the others had no further questions, Qin Liuhe turned his gaze to Song Mingyue: "This operation is extremely dangerous. You won't be of any help if you stay here, so there's no need to take the risk."

He is willing to sacrifice everything for great things. However, he will not make unnecessary sacrifices.

Song Mingyue is also an exceptionally talented individual, destined to become a pillar of the alliance. Such a genius should not be allowed to die here so easily.

Song Mingyue said firmly, "Gao Wu and I share a spiritual connection. In critical moments, only I can help him! I am not afraid of danger."

Qin Liuhe saw that Song Mingyue was so determined, and that being able to resonate with Gao Wu's spirit was indeed somewhat useful.

Even if it's just a little bit useful, as long as it increases the chances of winning, it's worth it. There's no need to say more.

He said to the three of them, "The plan is simple. Yan Qiushui is responsible for using her spatial abilities to tear open the divine realm and create a passage that leads directly to the depths of the ice dragon's brain."

"Note that this spatial passage cannot accommodate external objects; only spiritual beings of high martial prowess can enter."

Qin Liuhe looked at Yan Qiushui: "The Divine Realm is powerful, and you will face immense pressure. But you must complete the mission. As long as you open the passage and maintain it for one-hundredth of a second, you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Be careful not to touch the Dragon Soul. Its boundless power will reduce you to ashes in an instant."

Qin Liuhe then looked at Gao Wu: "Use your spiritual power to lock onto the Crimson Sky Sword, and I will use the Jade Seal to empower you and help you refine the Crimson Sky Sword. The Dragon Soul will definitely awaken, and I will use all my power to suppress the Dragon Soul. You have ten seconds."

Gao Wu nodded vigorously: "Understood!"

Upgrading the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Spell takes a long time, but this time he needs the fiery divine light that bursts forth the instant the Yin God is upgraded, in order to forcibly refine the Crimson Sky Sword.

Ten seconds wasn't enough time to complete the divine spell upgrade, but as long as he could activate the Crimson Sky Sword, that was enough...

Qin Liuhe said solemnly, "This matter concerns the future of the alliance and the survival of China. Gentlemen, please do your utmost."

Gao Wu, Song Mingyue, and Yan Qiushui all solemnly responded in unison.
