Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 51 Cold Spring Ice Cave

Enveloped by the Snow Empress's immense soul power, the man and his two beasts pierced the gray-white sky of the far north and flew swiftly southward.

About two and a half hours later, a bluish-gray outline appeared on the distant horizon.

The group stopped on the outskirts of Longcheng.

Hyotei looked curiously at the human city nestled in the snow and ice.

"Hey kid," Hyotei turned around, staring at Jiang Bai with suspicion in her voice, "you're not planning to lure us here so you can gather powerful human warriors to ambush and kill us, are you?"

Jiang Bai said helplessly, "Do you think that's possible? If I really wanted to harm you, I would be the first to die. In front of you, I wouldn't even have a chance to struggle with my current strength. Besides, I'm very afraid of dying."

His tone was sincere, and his eyes were open.

Hyotei stared at him for a few seconds, then snorted, seemingly accepting the explanation.

Indeed, given her and Xue Di's strength, unless the human side deploys several Super Douluo to create an inescapable trap, it would be virtually impossible to capture them. And this kid named Jiang Bai, by all accounts, doesn't seem to possess that kind of power.

"Where exactly is the ice cave you mentioned?" Xue Di's cold voice rang out.

She maintained her composure throughout, but a subtle, almost imperceptible expectation flickered deep within her icy blue eyes.

Jiang Bai pointed in the direction of Dragon City: "It's underground in this city."

"Underground?" Emperor Yong asked in confusion. "How could the Mysterious Swimming Cave of Ten Thousand Years appear beneath a human city? And the temperature here is much higher than in the far north."

"That's precisely why it's more concealed and less likely to be discovered," Jiang Bai explained.

The Mysterious Ice Cave was actually formed little by little by the mysterious ice that had been buried underground for more than 10,000 years and had been subjected to enormous pressure.

It is said to last for ten thousand years, but in reality, ten thousand years is just the beginning.

It would take at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, for it to be formed under certain circumstances. Dragon City, on the other hand, has only been around for about ten thousand years, and humans have no idea that such a treasure is hidden beneath their feet.

These are conclusions he drew by combining information from the original work with his own speculation.

The Mysterious Ice Cave, which existed for ten thousand years, was discovered by Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, beneath the cold spring of the Earth Dragon Gate in Dragon City.

At this point in time, the Earth Dragon Gate has not yet been built, but the Ice Cave should already exist.

After all, the formation of Xuanbing Marrow takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and ten thousand years is just a fleeting moment for them.

As for why he made a deal with the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, it's because his current strength isn't enough to support him going into the ice cave.

He wanted to quickly create a 100,000-year-old dragon beast, but the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were not enough.

He remembered there were about 40 pieces of ice marrow inside the ice cave.

As agreed, he could take more than 10 of them. With 10 of them plus a single immortal herb, the ice dragon could quickly grow into a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

At that time, even with just the Ice Dragon, he would have a chance to protect himself.

Jiang Bai said.

"Snow Emperor, your cultivation is the highest, and your mental strength is the strongest. Could you use your mental strength to scan the entire Dragon City and the surrounding area to see if there are any places where the temperature of the cold springs is abnormally low? The entrance to the ice cave is very likely at the bottom of some cold spring."

Xue Di nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

The next moment, a vast and boundless spiritual force silently spread out, covering the entire Dragon City and the surrounding area for several miles.

About ten breaths later, Xue Di opened her eyes.

"There is indeed a cold spring where the temperature is much lower than in other places."

She said calmly.

Jiang Bai was overjoyed: "Let's go take a look."

Without saying much, Xue Di changed the direction of her soul power shield and flew swiftly towards the location she pointed to.

In the blink of an eye, they landed on a wasteland in the northwest corner of Dragon City.

This place is sparsely populated, and the ground is covered with withered yellow weeds and unmelted snow.

Sure enough, amidst a pile of rubble, there was a small, inconspicuous spring. The water was a deep blue color, with a thin layer of ice floating on the surface. Even standing several meters away, one could feel the biting cold.

"This is it," Xue Di confirmed.

"Let's go down and take a look." As she spoke, her soul power shield contracted, becoming more solid, and then enveloped Jiang Bai and Bing Di before leaping down towards the spring!

"Thump—"

The moment he entered the water, the biting cold, even with the protective shield of his soul power, still made Jiang Bai shiver.

The spring water was bottomless and pitch black, with only the pale blue light emanating from the Snow Emperor illuminating the area within a few feet.

They continued to descend, and the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower.

I don't know how long I've been submerged. There's no light around me anymore; the absolute darkness and silence are terrifying.

If it weren't for the Snow Empress's soul power shield, the pressure and low temperature of this deep-water environment would have been fatal.

Finally, the snow dam stopped.

They reached the bottom of the spring.

Xue Di floated in the water, raised her right hand, and casually slapped a seemingly ordinary rock wall in front of her.

There was no earth-shattering noise, and not even a splash of water.

But wherever the palm strikes, the hard rock wall crumbles silently like tofu, revealing a layer of pale blue, translucent light film behind it.

"This is it." The Snow Empress's voice rang directly in Jiang Bai's mind. "There is very strong ice-attribute energy inside, which is very similar to the aura of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow."

Without further hesitation, she enveloped the two of them with her soul power shield and passed straight through the light blue light membrane.

The moment they passed through the light membrane, the surrounding pressure and chill vanished instantly. They entered a completely different space.

cave.

A magnificent cave composed entirely of various turquoise crystals!

The ground, walls, and dome—everywhere the eye could see—were filled with crystal-clear, azure blue crystals!

These crystals vary in size and shape.

The air was filled with pure, ice-elemental energy, and with each breath, one felt as if their soul was being cleansed.

The temperature was terribly low.

"This is—the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal!"

Hyotei was the first to exclaim in surprise, their eyes filled with unbelievable joy.

"So many Ice Extreme Divine Crystals! Xue'er, we really found them! Ice Extreme Divine Crystals are a by-product of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Cave, so there must be Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow here!"

Excitedly, she broke free from Xue Di's hand, landed on the ground, and carefully touched the azure crystals.

A flicker of emotion also flashed in Xue Di's eyes.

She looked around, her beautiful eyes reflecting the dreamlike scene inside the cave, and a rare, clear expression of emotion appeared on her face.

Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they had actually found it.

If he made a wasted trip, given Hyotei's temper, they would probably chop him into mincemeat.

"There's an even smaller cave inside."

The Snow Empress suddenly said that her senses were more acute than the Ice Empress's.

"The energy fluctuations are coming from over there."

She led the way deeper into the cave. After passing through a narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up before them.

A small cavern, only about ten square meters in size.

But in this small space, something grows that makes both Hyotei and Yuki-tei breathe heavily.

Dozens of icicles, white as jade and varying in thickness.

Inside these icicles, a milky white liquid slowly circulates, pulsating as if it were alive.

A terrifying, pure chill emanated from these icicles, as if the air itself had been frozen into a solid, icy blue mist.

Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow!
