Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 84, Section 83: Exploration, the Divine Pearl Displays its Power

The next day at noon, five figures stood outside the well.

From the inside out, they are Ling Bingtian, Nan Shuishui, Ling Yongsheng, Yuan Chao, and Wang Dayu.

After the deal was finalized yesterday at Nanshui, the Ling family received the highest level of hospitality at Dilongmen.

Nan Shuishui even sent people to clean up the secret well site disguised as an abandoned well, so that Ling Bingtian could explore it today.

It can be said that, apart from not treating Ling Yongsheng and Ling Bingtian as honored guests, the Earth Dragon Gate has done everything it could.

However, this is normal. A 100,000-year soul ring plus a 100,000-year soul bone are the most precious things no matter where you go on the Douluo Continent.

After a night and a morning of rest, the group arrived at the well that had been cleaned.

Compared to the abandoned well yesterday, the well today is extremely clean. Ling Bingtian could even see that the stone bricks on the well had been polished until they were reflective by the servants.

Ling Yongsheng was clearly satisfied with the environment, but the most important thing was to see what Ling Bingtian could gain from it, rather than whether the environment was good or bad.

At this moment, Ling Bingtian was only wearing a thin silk garment woven from silk spun by ice silkworms.

This silk garment was also specially made by the Ling family; it's a diving suit designed specifically for use when diving.

Having received such a great benefit, Nan Shuishui no longer kept anything secret. She told Ling Yongsheng and Ling Bingtian about the existence of a cave under the well called the Earth Dragon Gate.

This news also shocked He Feng.

His first reaction was, "Damn, I've been drinking bathwater for years..."

However, that cave dwelling was isolated by a mechanism used by the former leader of the Earth Dragon Sect. Inside the cave dwelling, there were many strange minerals.

The ore contains a strong aura of ice and also exhibits metallic properties.

Therefore, Nan Shuishui said that there should be a vein of rare ice-attribute metals in the cave, but she didn't know if what Ling Bingtian sensed was these metals.

Ling Bingtian smiled and agreed, but he knew perfectly well that the metals should be Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, which are the accompanying metals of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Although the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is a rare metal with considerable value, it is far inferior to its original source, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

The Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, a supreme treasure, can even be used to help beings like the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor break through bottlenecks and resist heavenly tribulations.

In the original work, Ice Emperor once said that if it or Snow Emperor could obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Cave under the Earth Dragon Gate, the position of the Heavenly Beast God might be affected.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of the Myriad Years of Profound Ice Marrow!

After listening to Nan Shuishui's instructions, Ling Yongsheng stepped forward, patted Ling Bingtian's shoulder, and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, just raise your index finger, and I'll bring you up."

Ling Yongsheng would naturally go down with Ling Bingtian, but according to Ling Bingtian's estimation, he probably wouldn't be able to overcome the obstacle of the Cold Spring.

Ling Bingtian nodded, responded to his grandfather, and then, without waiting any longer, took a deep breath and jumped into the well in front of him.

Ling Yongsheng said nothing more, and as he circulated his soul power, a light blue soul power shield enveloped him.

Without hesitation, Ling Yongsheng followed Ling Bingtian and flew into the well. With two splashes, the entire back garden of the Earth Dragon Gate fell into silence.

Nan Shuishui and Wang Dayu naturally had nothing to talk about, and neither of them dared to act presumptuously in front of such an important figure and beauty as Nan Shuishui, lest they embarrass the Ling family.

Therefore, all three of them fell silent. What they had in common was that they all stared intently at the water, awaiting the outcome.

……

Meanwhile, Ling Bingtian, who had plunged headfirst into the well, felt waves of chilling energy emanating from all parts of his body.

However, this chill was nothing to Ling Bingtian, who possessed a divine-level ice-attribute beast martial soul.

Strictly speaking, the chill actually made Ling Bingtian feel quite comfortable. A chilling aura of heaven and earth rippled in the cold spring and entered Ling Bingtian's body along with the chill, nourishing his body. It's just a pity that the effect was only so-so.

The cold spring was deep, but Ling Bingtian's goal was also clear. Nan Shuishui had just said that the well was about thirty meters deep, and according to his memory, the source of the cold spring leading to the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave was at the very bottom of the well.

The only problem was that the underwater environment was too dark. As Ling Bingtian dived deeper and deeper, he could no longer even see his own hands.

Just as they were about to resort to some means, a beam of light suddenly appeared behind Ling Bingtian, illuminating a small part of the surrounding environment.

Ling Bingtian turned his head and saw his grandfather following not far behind him.

Ling Bingtian gave Ling Yongsheng a thumbs-up and continued to descend.

The deeper he went, the stronger the chill became. When Ling Bingtian reached a depth of about 20 meters, the biting cold even began to make his body tremble involuntarily.

However, from this position, Ling Bingtian was already able to sense the direction of the water flow.

When Ling Yongsheng saw his beloved grandson's body begin to tremble, he realized that Ling Bingtian's body might not be able to withstand it. He was about to reach out and help Ling Bingtian when he noticed that Ling Bingtian's right hand was trembling as he drew circles.

This is a common hand gesture in the Extreme Ice Army, signifying that one still possesses the ability to fight. In this context, it likely means that Ling Bingtian believes he still has the ability to explore further.

Remembering Ling Bingtian's reliable behavior in the past, Ling Yongsheng did not take any further action. He believed that his precocious grandson knew his limits.

Ling Yongsheng soon realized that his judgment was correct.

Ling Bingtian's trembling body stopped trembling after streaks of icy blue light flashed from his chest.

Lord Ice God!

Ling Yongsheng suddenly realized that it was the Ice God's decree. No wonder Ling Bingtian insisted that the clan must take over this secret place.

'It seems there are still tremendous benefits to be had!' Ling Yongsheng murmured to himself.

At the same time, his tense mood calmed down. With the Ice God in charge, he couldn't imagine why he needed to take action.

However, in fact, Ling Yongsheng's idea was wrong.

After all, how could Ling Bingtian possibly establish contact with the Ice God, who was far away in the God Realm and separated from him by the crimson giant sword?

The glowing of the divine seal on his chest is a unique effect that Ling Bingtian has developed over the past few years, just so he can sometimes borrow the banner of the Ice God.

Several experiments proved that Ling Bingtian's idea was correct. The Ling family's higher-ups didn't care whether it was true or not; as long as the divine seal lit up, they would believe almost anything Ling Bingtian said.

At this moment, Ling Bingtian was using the banner of the Ice God.

In reality, what truly stopped Ling Bingtian's body from trembling was the divine pearl residing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Just as Ling Bingtian reached the twenty-one-meter mark, he felt that his current cultivation level was insufficient to support him to explore further downwards, when the divine pearl suddenly unleashed its power.

Ling Bingtian felt all the chill in his body surge into the divine pearl deep within his spiritual sea, like water entering a whirlpool.

The pressure from all sides on Ling Bingtian also decreased significantly, to the point that it was almost non-existent.

Without much thought, Ling Bingtian continued to sink. This time, he aimed precisely where the cold current was heading.
