Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 24: The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal

Nian Qiuqiu watched the two figures slowly receding, standing frozen in place and somewhat at a loss for words. The Snow Empress had indeed frightened her quite a bit. Any desire she had to get to know Du Qianjue better vanished completely.

On the other side, Du Qianjue couldn't help but smile with amusement. He hadn't expected Xue Linglong to be so protective, especially over a mere teenage girl. However, Xue Linglong's little display made Du Qianjue realize that she was no longer the old Snow Empress but was now solely his Xue Linglong. This thought made his smile widen even more, almost to the point of laughing out loud.

Xue Linglong, feeling a bit irritated, lifted her foot, adorned with a crystal high-heeled shoe, and stepped on Du Qianjue's foot. "Don't laugh!"

Du Qianjue's face changed, and he let out a couple of sharp breaths, feeling the pain from the high heel. He had always thought Xue Linglong's high heels were pretty but never imagined they could be so painfully effective!

"You and your ancestor are the same—both have annoying laughs!" Xue Linglong grumbled, baring her little tiger teeth. The thought of Du Bushi's comment, "I remembered something joyful," made her temples throb.

Unfortunately, Du Qianjue was so absorbed in the process of merging the Ice Emperor's spirit ring and spirit bone that he had not paid attention to the outside world. Otherwise, he might have laughed uncontrollably.

Later, when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm projected the events of that day through spiritual power, Du Qianjue understood why Xue Linglong had reacted this way.

The Earth Dragon Gate was not very large, and their speed was quick. Soon, they arrived at the so-called Cold Spring.

"Honored Douluo, this is the place," Nian Shuishui said with a bow, clearly avoiding mentioning the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

Since Du Bushi was unaware of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, he simply nodded and turned to Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong. "Qianjue, Xue… Linglong, you two go ahead. I will wait here."

Du Bushi seemed slightly awkward when calling Xue Linglong's name, almost slipping and adding the "Empress" title.

Du Qianjue nodded, exchanged a glance with Xue Linglong, and jumped directly into the well.

"Gate Master Nian, please attend to your matters. I'll handle things here," Du Bushi said to Nian Shuishui.

"Yes, Honored Douluo. I'll take my leave," Nian Shuishui bowed and responded.

"Wait, take this with you," Du Bushi waved his sleeve, sending the box containing the spirit bone toward Nian Shuishui.

"Thank you, Honored Douluo." Nian Shuishui finally showed a smile as she took the spirit bone.

After Nian Shuishui and her daughter left, Du Bushi immediately sat cross-legged by the well.

…

In the well, as soon as they hit the water, Xue Linglong couldn't help but show a pleased smile. As an ice and snow spirit, she loved cold environments like this.

"Qianjue, with this temperature, there must be Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Essence here. Your fortune is truly enviable," Xue Linglong's voice echoed through their spiritual link.

In the sea of spirits, the dormant spirit beasts woke up. The spirit beasts of the Extreme North Icefield all nodded in agreement, including the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Only the Thunder Prison Vine was confused, not knowing what the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Essence was.

"Don't rush to find the Xuan Ice Essence; there are other good things here," Du Qianjue grinned.

"Other good things?" Xue Linglong was puzzled, then suddenly realized, "Oh, right, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that accompanies the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Cave! You actually know about this?"

"Yes, I know. The female gate master didn't mention it, but that doesn't mean we can't get it. She knows about the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals but just didn't tell us," Du Qianjue nodded. "Anyway, since we can't mine the Ultimate Ice without the Xuan Ice Essence, we might as well take what we can. Let's gather them!"

Xue Linglong agreed with a nod.

They slowly descended. When they approached thirty meters deep, Du Qianjue slowed down and began feeling along the well wall until he found a protrusion at about thirty-five meters deep.

"Xue'er, it's here. Pull it up!" Du Qianjue placed Xue Linglong's hand on the protrusion and indicated for her to act.

When Hao Yuhao entered this place at level seventy, it took most of his soul power to pull it out. Now, even though Du Qianjue hadn't yet gained his fifth spirit ring, his physical strength was comparable to Hao Yuhao's at that time. Still, he found it frustrating to struggle with this while having a peak Douluo-level powerhouse by his side.

Xue Linglong raised an eyebrow, extended her slender hand, and effortlessly opened the mechanism.

Once the mechanism was unlocked, a passage large enough for a person to pass through appeared in the well wall. Du Qianjue gave Xue Linglong a thumbs up and was the first to crawl into the cave.

Xue Linglong followed closely behind.

Inside the cave, Du Qianjue, who had been soaked, suddenly felt completely dry. Xue Linglong, however, remained unaffected since her clothes were an illusion created with her Ultimate Douluo soul power and were not influenced by the environment.

Du Qianjue extended his right hand, and an ice-blue glow illuminated his hand. This was his Ice Dragon King spirit bone. The extreme ice aura caused the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals throughout the cave to glow, creating a dreamlike scene.

"Beautiful!" Du Qianjue exclaimed.

"Yes, this is the greatness of nature's creation. Every Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Cave is a miracle of nature," Xue Linglong said, smiling as she stood beside Du Qianjue.

As a nature spirit, places like this were most comforting for her.

The Ice Emperor was almost in a frenzy in the sea of spirits. Her spiritual essence was not as vast as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's, so she could not leave Du Qianjue's spiritual sea and could only drool in frustration.

With the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals now appearing, how far could the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Essence be?

It was the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Essence, a treasure she had searched for her entire life!

"Damn Sky Dream! You consumed so many Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Xuan Ice Essences!" The Ice Emperor roared in anger as she recalled her first encounter with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, slapping the Silkworm's body with her tail, causing the innocent Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to be hit again.

"Alright, let's gather these Ice Extreme Divine Crystals," Xue Linglong said softly to Du Qianjue, putting aside her emotions.

Du Qianjue nodded. Xue Linglong released her domain, Emperor Cold Heaven·Snow Dance Radiance, while Du Qianjue released the Ice Emperor's domain·Eternal Frozen Domain. The two domains merged into a new and unique domain.

Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain!

Understanding this, Xue Linglong looked at Du Qianjue with even softer eyes. The two of them, hand in hand, collected the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, which had been softened by the extreme ice soul power.

Only the Ice Emperor, in Du Qianjue's spiritual sea, cried out in despair.

"That's my domain! That's my Xue'er!!!"

"Pain, so much pain!"

And thus, isn't this also a bit of a bull-headed person? (Delight)
