Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 251 Failed
Snowflakes kept falling on Lin Xiao's shoulders, then drifting to the side under the influence of his naturally emanating soul power. From a distance, only a tiny, inconspicuous dot could be seen flashing forward.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly. He looked up into the distance, where Feng Shen's soul reacted, probably having found the place where he had first encountered Xue Di.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao no longer hesitated. With a surge of soul power, a large patch of snow beneath his feet vanished instantly, and the next moment, his figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

In a short while, Lin Xiao arrived at the place where the gods were enshrined. At first glance, the snowfield in front of him was no different from the surrounding snowfield, except that the ground seemed to be slightly sunken.

Sensing the emotions emanating from the Investiture of the Gods, Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly to look at the depression in front of him, and slowly extended his spiritual power forward.

The extreme cold of the far north core seemed to freeze his mental energy. This feeling became even more pronounced as he approached the depression, as if the turbulent river in his mental sea was about to freeze over.

"right here?"

Although it's still unclear what's there, this anomaly already indicates something; this is indeed an unusual place.

"Hmm." Fengshen's expression was somewhat melancholy, probably recalling his past life. "If I remember correctly, there should be an ice cave here, but it's covered by snow now."

Lin Xiaochao glanced into the distance. In this far north, even the seawater was frozen solid, and he couldn't tell where the land was and where the ice was.

Ice caves are not uncommon here either.

With a slight shift in his mind, the assassin's soul drifted from afar and slowly disappeared into the ice. Then, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and he raised his left leg high before slamming it down heavily.

"boom--"

Without using any soul power, he simply released his soul power in the most basic way. His soul power surged out, and a large open space instantly appeared beneath his feet.

The solid ice beneath the snow layer cracked open, and the entire ice field seemed to tremble slightly. The ice cave that Fengshen had mentioned also appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

The assassins sent out in advance did not notice any danger, and Lin Xiao also did not linger, leaping into the ice cave.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop significantly. Although the storm outside was gone, the temperature difference still made Lin Xiao feel a sharp pain, like steel needles piercing his bones, and his body involuntarily shivered.

"As expected of the far north, without a martial spirit like the Extreme Ice, it's not an easy thing to move around here."

Lin Xiao's physical strength is already quite good, even some titled Douluo can't compare to him. Even he felt some discomfort, and he didn't know how he could withstand the Investiture of the Gods back then.

Lin Xiao glanced up at Feng Shen beside her. Now that he had become a soul, he couldn't sense the outside temperature and naturally had no idea what Lin Xiao was thinking.

"Are you looking for that snow lotus from back then?"

Upon seeing the familiar ice cave, Xue Di guessed Lin Xiao's purpose.

"So I haven't told you yet? Yes, that was indeed my initial goal. But since I promised you, once things are over here, I'll find a way to take you to see the deeper parts of the snowfield."

Without waiting for Xue Di's response, Lin Xiao continued walking deeper into the ice cave. He could no longer hear the wind outside; only the sound of his footsteps echoing as they landed on the ice walls on either side.

Lin Xiao touched his storage soul tool, and a lighting soul tool appeared in his hand. The light reflected off the ice, quickly illuminating the entire ice cave. Beneath the translucent ice, Lin Xiao could see tendrils resembling plant roots spreading through the solid ice. Their pale white color seemed to glow under the illumination of the soul tool, clearly indicating their exceptional quality.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

Although it's not yet certain that these are the roots of that snow lotus, this plant is certainly no ordinary specimen.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao quickened his pace, and the chill around him intensified, causing him to subconsciously wrap his clothes tighter around himself.

"This used to be my secluded training place. The temperature at the deepest part of the place was probably at its extreme due to the influence of my aura during that battle. If you really want to go there, you'd better be prepared."

Xue Di suddenly spoke up with a reminder. Lin Xiao nodded, his feet never stopping, but the soul power within his body spread out and completely enveloped him.

He suddenly understood how the last consecration of gods had ended up here. When he came, it wasn't this cold. It was the power released by the Snow Emperor when she struggled to escape his seal that turned this place into what it is today.

The thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. The light from his illumination soul tool probed into the depths, and the scene inside also came into view.

Deep within the ice cave, roots gradually emerge from the ice layer, and glistening branches and leaves climb the ice, looking as if someone had left behind a masterpiece of carving in the ice cave.

Beautiful snow lotus blossoms stood gracefully on the branches, their refreshing fragrance spreading throughout the ice cave. Just smelling this scent, Lin Xiao could feel the flow of blood and qi in his body quicken.

only……

The thickest branch in the center of these snow lotuses was completely empty, with nothing left behind.

Lin Xiao stopped and stared at the branch for a moment, then sighed softly. The moisture from her breath quickly turned into ice shards and fell.

This place does indeed contain rare and precious natural treasures beyond the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. However, the oldest snow lotus has disappeared. It was probably completely consumed when the Snow Emperor took human form, or perhaps it was destroyed in the battle between the Snow Emperor and the Gods. In any case, it left nothing for Lin Xiao.

Then he turned his head and looked around at the ice walls. The snow lotuses blooming on them were not very old.

Plant-type spirit beasts differ from animal-type spirit beasts. Before they develop intelligence, they not only do not take care of each other, but also compete for resources.

Outside of the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, only a 100,000-year-old snow lotus can grow to help the Snow Emperor transform into human form. Other snow lotuses must not have a very high age or cultivation level.

It's likely that even the snow lotuses Lin Xiao is seeing now only had the opportunity to bloom after the Snow Emperor picked that 100,000-year-old snow lotus.

"It seems that what you are looking for was also shattered when I regained my power."

Hearing Xue Di's words, Lin Xiao came back to her senses, "You can't remember either?"

"Hmm." Xue Di also sighed softly, "You don't understand. The process of a soul beast transforming into a human is somewhat like being reincarnated and living a new life. When I first transformed into an embryo, my consciousness was also in a daze. I was just struggling instinctively until I regained my power and my memories were restored."
