Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 206—Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow and the Ice Cave

"..."

"Don't worry, you'll all be fine after I get out! But for now, let's wait a bit!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, then leaped into the well.

As soon as you enter the well, a powerful, chilling aura comes from all directions.

However, after Qian Lingyun forged her golden body with the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb in the undead demiplane, this chill was not a big deal for her.

At best... it's just the refreshing taste of drinking a sip of chilled mineral water in autumn.

After quickly adjusting to the environment, Qian Lingyun, holding a large porcelain jar with its mouth facing down, plunged headfirst into the cold spring.

The spring is icy cold, with a temperature definitely below zero, but strangely, it does not freeze.

Upon entering the cold spring, Qian Lingyun clearly felt a chilling force of heaven and earth ripple in the water.

Although such ice-attribute elemental energy was nothing to her, the chill was very pure, no less so than the purity of the Yin-Yang Eye Ice Spring.

No wonder Nan Shuishui said that the spring water here can nourish the human body.

The cold spring was very deep. Qian Lingyun blew bubbles as she sank down, and the temperature dropped the deeper she went.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, but that wasn't a big deal; we could just swim slower.

The spring is about thirty meters deep. At the bottom, even ordinary Soul Douluo-level experts would find it difficult to withstand.

Nan Shuishui said that the cave was located about 25 to 30 meters from the cold spring.

Since she didn't need to keep warm, Qian Lingyun swam very fast, but she couldn't find a spot after searching around, so she could only spit out a few bubbles in frustration at the bottom of the water.

Soon, Qian Lingyun's long, water-weed-like hair automatically coalesced into strands, which then transformed into small, red-eyed snakes.

These snakes observed the underwater scene from all angles for Qian Lingyun and soon brought good news.

Thirty meters below the spring, there appears to be a springhead, large enough for one person to pass through.

The cave walls surrounding the cold spring were icy and slippery; even just touching them felt as refreshing as drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.

The entrance to this cave is said to be naturally formed, originally a natural spring. Later, the ancestors of Dilongmen built a well here and set up a trap.

Following the stone wall downwards, Qian Lingyun quickly found a small protrusion.

Even if most people touch such a protrusion, they would definitely think of pressing it down.

But the Earth Dragon Gate mechanism does the exact opposite. I wonder what that old bastard was thinking back then, actually ordering people to do the opposite…

Looking at her hooked nails with a frustrated expression, Qian Lingyun had already cursed the old bastard who designed the mechanism and his relatives for more than a dozen generations!

Fortunately, Qian Lingyun had learned torture techniques from Mei Douluo, so the tools she used for pulling teeth and nails could finally be put to some use here.

Pinch the protruding stone with pliers and pull upwards with force, and you can lift the protrusion up a little.

Then Qian Lingyun turned around and swam to the other side of the stone wall, where she found an inconspicuous dent.

Press down firmly on the dent, and you can faintly hear a slight "sizzling" sound.

Qian Lingyun then returned to the protrusion and pressed it down hard until it was completely fitted into the stone wall.

The entire stone wall began to tremble slightly. Turning around, I saw a door, just big enough for one person to squeeze through, quietly opening.

After the portal opened, a large amount of cold air rushed out from the gaps in the portal.

Even Qian Lingyun, who had mastered the Ice and Fire Golden Body, couldn't help but shiver.

The door slowly opened, and Qian Lingyun went inside without saying a word.

Upon entering the portal, an invisible force kept the spring water out, while correspondingly, gusts of cold air carrying almost visible ice elements assaulted Qian Lingyun's body.

Qian Lingyun unconsciously revealed her spirit rings. The sixth spirit ring, a blood-red one with seven golden patterns, trembled violently, greedily devouring the pure ice elements around it.

Whew, that feels so good!

The refreshing coolness invigorated Qian Lingyun. She simply turned on the light and wandered around the cave, taking it all in.

Under the flash of light, everything inside the cave was formed entirely of various crystals.

These crystals are crystal clear and have a dazzling deep blue color.

They are filled with a dreamlike beauty that is indescribable.

The ground, walls, and ceiling were covered with these crystals, of varying sizes and shapes, their iridescent, deep and shallow shades of turquoise illuminating every detail within the cave.

"Ice Extreme Divine Crystals cannot be harvested without an ultimate ice martial soul, and the Blade of Life Guardian will destroy its metallic activity. Tsk, what a hassle."

Qian Lingyun stroked her chin, gazing at the mysterious metals, her forehead suddenly lighting up.

She held the three-foot-long sword named Frost Annihilation firmly in her hand.

This natal weapon, crafted from the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, Snow Emperor Snow Pill, and Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal, possesses the characteristics of extreme ice, and it is the only method she can try now.

He poured his own soul power into Frost Annihilation, and then slowly injected his ultimate ice soul power into it. A sense of affinity was generated inside the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

It was clearly metal, but it seemed to possess emotions, showing a very affectionate emotional response to the ultimate ice soul power.

Then, Qian Lingyun felt as if the sword in her hand had struck a large lump of jelly.

With a powerful downward slash, a large chunk of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal was cut off.

When the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal left the cave and fell into Qian Lingyun's hands, it immediately released a faint deep blue halo, the light appearing and disappearing as if it were alive.

What's the difference between being a fool and not daring to take good things? Qian Lingyun held up Shuangyan and waved it around at these treasures without hesitation.

Pieces of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal were continuously cut off from the cave walls by Qian Lingyun, not only preserved intact but also harvested effortlessly.

Soon, the hard-working Qian Lingyun also put the last piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal back into her storage ring.

Behind her, a large torrent of water rushed towards her, heading straight for her.

Without the magical power contained within the Ice Crystal protecting it, and with the entrance still open, the icy spring water outside finally rushed in and flooded the area.

Emerging from the cave, Qian Lingyun held Shuangyan in her hand and carried a jar in her arms, slowly swimming towards the deeper part of the spring.

Upon entering the icy spring, Qian Lingyun immediately felt a strong chill, like thousands of steel needles, piercing into her body, but it was blocked by the purple light emanating from her body.

However… with the Rakshasa Divine Armor by her side, Qian Lingyun only felt that her soul power was being consumed much faster, but otherwise, she didn’t have any major problems.

After diving more than thirty meters down, the surrounding cold currents grew stronger, and the purple light of the Rakshasa Divine Armor intensified.

A feeling of suffocation began to appear, and the tightness in her chest caused Qian Lingyun's internal breathing to become somewhat uneven, but she still held Shuangyan and continued to dive down.

Forty meters, forty-five meters, fifty meters...

At this moment, the jar's ingenious use became apparent. Qian Lingyun steadied herself in the water, took a deep breath of air from the jar's opening, and then continued swimming downstream.

In such an extreme environment, swimming slowly while holding a sword undoubtedly affected Qian Lingyun's speed.

But as the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on Qian Lingyun's arm as she was moving, and she grasped a massive metal hammer weighing about a hundred pounds in her palm.

The giant hammer dragged Qian Lingyun down at an even faster speed.

"puff--"

Suddenly feeling light, Qian Lingyun felt the pressure around her body decrease dramatically, and she had fallen into a small cave.

The cave was completely dark, with no light and no spring.

But it was so cold here that Qian Lingyun felt as if everything in her body, including her soul, had frozen after just one breath. She instantly stiffened and stood there, frozen in place.
