Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 50: Searching for the Myriad-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow

Dragon City, by the Cold Spring at the Earth Dragon Gate.

After reaching an agreement with Xue Di, Xiao Qiang and Xue Di quickly arrived at Dragon City, where the Earth Dragon Gate was located. As one of the two major sects in Dragon City, the location of the Earth Dragon Gate could be found by asking a passerby with just one silver coin.

Once the route is confirmed, a single simulated soul skill is enough to reach the interior of the Earth Dragon Gate without anyone knowing. After Xiao Qiang enters the Earth Dragon Gate, he only needs to use mental interference and psychological suggestion, and a disciple of the Earth Dragon Gate will clearly explain the location of the Earth Dragon Gate's Cold Spring.

As for whether the disciple's subsequent behavior would give others any clues that would alert the higher-ups of the Earth Dragon Sect to the intrusion, this was not even within Xiao Qiang's consideration.

With Xue Di's strength, let alone the Earth Dragon Gate, even if the Heaven Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Gate joined forces, it wouldn't take Xue Di long to wipe out both of them.

If it weren't for Xiao Qiang's reluctance to engage in meaningless killing and his concern that Xue Di's appearance in front of the world would waste time on the siege, Xue Di's strength would have allowed her to directly interrogate the Earth Dragon Gate Master.

"Indeed, this Emperor can sense that there is a rare and precious treasure with ice attributes beneath this cold spring. You have done well, human."

Xue Di's feet were immersed in the cold spring, enjoying the relaxation it brought, while Xiao Qiang stood on a layer of ice and began to freeze one vacuum ice ball after another.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao only arrived at this secret place called Earth Dragon Gate after reaching the seventh ring, while Xiao Qiang only has level 48 soul power. He can't hold his breath for as long as Huo Yuhao. Therefore, before going down, Xiao Qiang needs to prepare several hundred ice balls filled with air just in case.

After all, once they went down there, there would be no air for a while, and Xiao Qiang couldn't expect the Snow Empress to vomit for him. The Snow Empress now was not the Snow Empress of the later legends of the God Realm, and Xiao Qiang's relationship with the Snow Empress hadn't reached that point yet.

After feeling that there was enough oxygen, Xiao Qiang looked at Xue Di. "Xue Di, I'm all ready here. We can go down now."

After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, the two of them went deeper into the cold spring.

As soon as he entered the icy spring, Xiao Qiang released his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul to combat the ever-deepening chill. After all, in the original story, even Huo Yuhao at the seventh ring stage had to use his own Martial Soul and Soul Skills to withstand the cold. Xiao Qiang, who was only level 48 and hadn't even reached the fifth ring Soul King level, dared not be careless.

After descending to a certain depth, Xiao Qiang released mental detection and mental sharing to compensate for the darkness at the bottom of the spring.

"I never imagined my first time diving would be in such a pitch-black place. It's really uncomfortable," Xiao Qiang muttered to himself. He then gradually expanded the range of his mental detection and saw the blue liquid below.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Qiang picked up the prepared tools and collected some spring water. According to the original novel, this water was at a similar temperature to the cold spring in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Although Xiao didn't know what use it would be later, it wouldn't hurt to collect some to keep on hand.

After using up several oxygen balloons, Xiao Qiang finally found the protruding mechanism.

Thanks to Xiao Qiang's current spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm, he can revisit anything he has ever seen in his mind whenever he wants.

Therefore, Xiao Qiang knew exactly what that mechanism was all about. According to the original story, just activating that mechanism would consume 40% of Huo Yuhao's soul power, who had a cultivation level of around 74.

Xiao Qiang certainly couldn't operate this mechanism now, but fortunately, Xue Di was right beside him.

"Xue Di, lift this protruding mechanism up a bit."

Xue Di raised her hand and gently pulled upwards. Xiao Qiang then found the suddenly appearing indentation on the other side of the stone wall and pressed it down hard. With a slight "click" sound, Xiao Qiang signaled Xue Di to press down the previous protrusion.

Then the entire stone wall began to tremble slightly. Xiao Qiang and Xue Di turned around and saw a stone door, only large enough for one person to squeeze through, quietly open.

As soon as the gate opened, a massive surge of cold air rushed in. It was only because both Xue Di and Xiao Qiang possessed the ultimate ice attribute that the cold air alone would have been enough to keep people here forever.

"Snow Emperor, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow are both there. I don't need to say more about how much or how to take them. I won't go with you. The cold there is too much for me to bear. I'll wait for you here."

As mentioned in the original novel, the temperature inside the cave would have been difficult for Huo Yuhao to bear when he first went to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. At that time, Huo Yuhao was already a five-ring Soul King, while Xiao Qiang is only a level 48 Soul Master now.

Moreover, further in, there is a cold that even Huo Yuhao, who is already a seven-ring Soul Saint, finds hard to resist. Although this cold is often Schrödinger-like, somewhere between freezing Huo Yuhao and becoming an aid to him, it is best not to take the risk unless necessary.

Xue Di could go in alone and take everything away, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Qiang wanted to find Xue Di so quickly.

This Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, tailor-made for Huo Yuhao in the original work, is normally a place that only Huo Yuhao, after possessing the ultimate ice and reaching the Soul Saint level in soul power, can visit. When Huo Yuhao came here, his soul power and martial soul had just reached the minimum standard to enter and obtain resources.

Without the Snow Empress, even a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to take anything away from this place; the extreme cold would extinguish any thought a Title Douluo might have.

Xue Di glanced at Xiao Qiang, then a small tear in the hem of her dress flew towards Xiao Qiang, and after sticking to Xiao Qiang's body, it gradually formed a warm garment.

"Come on."

"it is good."

The moment they entered the cave and saw the dazzling array of Ice Crystals, Tianmeng and Bingdi in their spiritual sea could hardly contain their laughter.

"Ice Extreme Divine Crystals! And so many Ice Extreme Divine Crystals! The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, this must be the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave! Xiao Qiang, you actually saw it!"

Hyotei said in surprise. Although she had some confidence in Xiao Qiang because he had directly pointed out the problem between her and Xue Di, she still couldn't hide her surprise when she actually saw it.

"After all, he was chosen by my brother, so his luck is definitely extraordinary."

Tenmu spoke proudly, and this time, Hyotei, unusually, did not refute Tenmu.

"You did a really good job in selecting people. I wasn't very confident about becoming a god, but if Xiao Qiang can see more of these opportunities, becoming a god is almost a certainty."

"That's right, it's the person my brother chose, you can rest assured."

Xiao Qiang: "..."
