Deep within the God-Slaying Ice Plain, Xiao Chen had reached the area where the cold was most bone-piercing. Before him stood a colossal mountain tens of thousands of feet high, formed entirely of mysterious ice. Countless deep ice caverns covered its surface like the nests of giant beasts. That unusual soul fluctuation was emanating from the largest of them.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate. With a flash, he entered the dark ice cavern. The passage wound downward, its walls made of mysterious ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, emitting a faint blue glow. The deeper he went, the stronger the frigid force that eroded the soul became. Even space itself seemed frozen.
After traveling for roughly the time it took to burn an incense stick, the path suddenly opened up into a massive ice chamber. At its center was not the Nine-Revolutions Soul-Returning Grass he had expected, but an intact dragon skeleton... sealed within enormous mysterious ice!
The dragon skeleton was a ghastly white, its bones crystalline like jade. Though it had been dead for countless ages, it still exuded terrifying Dragon Might, along with an incomparably pure... Great Yin Cold Force! At the location of its heart, a dark-blue mass of strange energy flickered with faint light like a burning flame. That unusual soul fluctuation was coming from it!
"Is this... the remains of an ancient ice dragon? That mass of energy is a fusion of its Dragon Soul Origin and Great Yin Cold Source?" A trace of surprise flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes. In some respects, this thing was even more valuable than the Nine-Revolutions Soul-Returning Grass! If he could refine it, it would not only greatly benefit his soul, but also allow his Chaos Flame to fuse with a trace of an extreme-cold origin,
