Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 229 The Mysterious Ice Cave

The world was a vast expanse of white, and amidst this white expanse, Camus and Shui Bing'er, clad in black robes, appeared as two striking black dots as they sped northward.

Both of them were ice-attribute soul masters, whose resistance to the cold far exceeded that of ordinary soul masters. Although they were not wearing many clothes, it did not affect their speed of movement at all.

Before long, the two had entered the city.

Camus and Sui Bing'er's goal in coming to Dragon City was very clear.

During the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, the secret place beneath the Earth Dragon Gate eventually became Huo Yuhao's Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave.

Although there is a gap of ten thousand years between the first and second eras of Douluo Continent, according to the Ice Emperor, the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave evolved little by little from the mysterious ice that had been buried deep underground for over ten thousand years and had endured immense pressure. While it is said to be ten thousand years, in reality, ten thousand years is only the starting point; it would take at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, and only under certain circumstances could it possibly take shape.

Camus and Shui Bing'er did not have the ability to foresee the future, so naturally they could not have known that such a treasure land was hidden beneath Dragon City. It was all something that Xiao Yu remembered by chance before entering the Underworld, and then told Camus.

Whether it's the cultivation environment of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave itself, or the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow contained within the cave, they are all top-tier natural treasures for ice-attribute soul masters. Wasn't the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm just lucky enough to fall into the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave and cultivate to the rare million-year level by eating and sleeping?

Shui Bing'er's martial soul has a flaw; it's still a hair's breadth away from reaching the ultimate ice realm. If she had the help of these ice-attribute treasures, she would surely be able to reach the true ultimate realm.

Once inside the city, the city walls provided some protection from the cold air, and even the residents could withstand the chill by wearing thicker clothing.

It was daytime, and the streets were bustling with activity. Camus stood in the very center of the city, his eyes slightly closed, releasing his full spiritual power at the Title Douluo level as he continued to delve deeper into the underground of Dragon City.

After a short while, Camus opened his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips as he raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Bing'er, you little girl, you're really lucky!"

Shui Bing'er was delighted to hear this. After all, there was a gap of ten thousand years between Dou Yi and Dou Er. Xiao Yu couldn't be sure whether the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave had already taken shape during the Dou Yi era. So he explained to Camus and Shui Bing'er in advance that they would have to try their luck this time.

However, it seems that Camus and Suibourine are quite lucky!

"Bing'er, come with me!"

Having determined their location, Camus beckoned, and the two quickly headed towards their destination.

The Earth Dragon Gate had a history of a thousand years during the second era of the Dou Di. However, there are still ten thousand years until the second era, so the Earth Dragon Gate has not yet been established. The location of the Ten Thousand Year Xuanbing Cave is currently a desolate place, and there is no well that can serve as an entrance.

But this was no challenge for Camus. He carefully sensed the changes in the underground environment, step by step, and suddenly stopped, his eyes gleaming: "This is it!"

boom!

Camus's soul power erupted instantly, and a terrifying soul power attack surged straight into the ground, creating a huge black hole in front of the two of them.

"Bing'er, stay close to me!"

Camus jumped into the black hole first, followed closely by Sui Bing'er.

As soon as they entered, a chilling aura rushed towards them. However, since both of them were Soul Masters with ice-attribute Martial Souls, what was a bone-chilling cold to ordinary Soul Masters was a great tonic for Camus and Shui Bing'er, nourishing their Martial Souls.

Neither of them even circulated their soul power, allowing the chill to flow into their bodies. Streams of cold air, carrying almost visible ice elements, nourished their bodies, making their soul power circulate even faster.

Following the passage that Camus had carved out with his soul power, the two quickly arrived at the actual cave.

Upon entering the cave, both of them were somewhat stunned by the sight before them.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Looking around, she saw crystals of various sizes. These crystal minerals were all blue in color, crystal clear, and the faint light shining through them made the entire crystal reflect a deep blue light.

The cave ceiling, floor, and walls were covered in these crystals. They varied in size and shape, their shimmering, iridescent shades of deep blue illuminating the entire cave and filling it with a dreamlike beauty that defied description. Shui Bing'er felt as if she were in a fairyland.

"Is this the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that the young master mentioned?"

Camus stepped forward and gently tapped the exposed metal, producing a crisp sound, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal?"

Camus replied, "Ice Crystal is the hardest ice-attribute metal, and it is also the most flexible ice-attribute metal. It looks like a crystal, but it already has the ductility of a metal. It is a top-grade rare metal. If used properly, it can be used to make the most advanced soul tools."

"That's great! Let's hurry back and arrange for people to start mining the metal here!"

Since becoming Camus's apprentice, Shui Bing'er has also started to learn how to use soul tools. She is an extremely intelligent woman and quickly realized the impact that soul tool technology would have on the future soul master world. While using soul tools, she also began to learn how to make them.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Bing'er!"

Camus smiled slightly and said, "The reason why the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is called a divine crystal is because it has evolved to the point of possessing a certain degree of vitality. Forcibly mining it will only damage these precious metals. There is only one possibility to mine the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and that is to rely on the soul power of the ultimate ice."

As Camus spoke, he slowly channeled his soul power into the Ice Extreme God Crystal he had just struck. As Camus channeled his soul power, the Ice Extreme God Crystal, which was originally embedded in the barrier, softened as if it had sensed its mother's call, and finally loosened and fell into Camus's hand.

"There are actually such amazing metals in this world!"

Shui Bing'er looked at the Ice Crystal that had fallen into Camus's hand and was emitting a faint deep blue halo, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Animals and plants have life, and minerals and metals, when their quality reaches a certain level, can also give rise to a certain life force and emotion. However, compared to animals and plants, it is much more difficult for them to give rise to this kind of life force."

Camus earnestly instructed his beloved disciple, "The world is vast and full of wonders, Bing'er, you still have much to learn!"

Shui Bing'er nodded respectfully: "I will, teacher!"
