Acting

"How... how could it be so similar? But that's impossible!" The moment the Ice Emperor raised his head, Lin Ming instantly showed a shocked expression, and unconsciously said.

"Little guy! Little guy!" Seeing Lin Ming's shocked and dazed expression, the Ice Emperor called out to Lin Ming.

"Greetings, Old Sir! Seeing your face reminded me of an elder in my family, which is why I was momentarily stunned. By the way, what were you saying just now, Old Sir?" After the Ice Emperor called out, Lin Ming, as if recovering from his shock, spoke up.

"Never mind, that's all! Take the map and leave! As for this incomplete map, it's not for sale!" The Ice Emperor sighed and lowered his head again. However, when he said he wouldn't buy it, his tone was exceptionally firm.

Lin Ming had anticipated Ice Emperor's reaction.

As we know from the original work, the reason why Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's cultivation was sealed by Medusa was because Hai Bodong went to the Snake Person to steal the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame Fragment Map.

It was because of this incomplete map that the Ice Emperor's cultivation was sealed, and now he can only exert the strength of a Dou Ling. So if the Ice Emperor were to offer Lin Ming a price for this incomplete map now, Lin Ming would probably doubt whether it was even a fake.

"Old Sir, this fragment of the map is extremely important to me, so I beg you to part with it and sell it to me." Lin Ming certainly couldn't let go of the Lin Ming of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame map, so after pulling the fragment to his side, Lin Ming said to the Ice Emperor.

"Young brother, do you know the effects of this incomplete map?" After Lin Ming finished speaking, the Ice Emperor raised his head again, which had been buried in drawing the map, and asked with excitement on his face.

Lin Ming certainly knew the purpose of this incomplete map. Furthermore, Lin Ming statement to the Ice Emperor that he knew its purpose was a decision Lin Ming made after careful consideration.

As we know from the original work, the Ice Emperor had no need for the Heavenly Flames. As for the fact that he searched for several locations in the Tagor Desert that might contain the Heavenly Flames, it was because the Ice Emperor had collected a pill formula that could unseal his cultivation, and to refine this pill, he needed the Heavenly Flames.

The Ice Emperor's attribute is Ice Attribute, which is completely opposite to the Heavenly Flames, so Lin Ming is not afraid that the Ice Emperor will steal the Heavenly Flames.

However, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is ranked third on the list of Heavenly Flames. If the Ice Emperor were to reveal information about such a high-level Heavenly Flames, it would cause great trouble. Therefore, when Lin Ming tells the Ice Emperor about the function of the incomplete map, Lin Ming will not mention that it is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. He will only tell him that it is a map of Heavenly Flames, and as for what kind of Heavenly Flames it is, Lin Ming will simply say that he does not know.

In any case, once the Ice Emperor knows it's Heavenly Flames, he won't care about this incomplete map anymore. Then, when Lin Ming and the Ice Emperor recognize each other, wouldn't the Ice Emperor simply give Lin Ming the incomplete map?

After thinking it over, Lin Ming's face showed a hint of apology, but his tone was very firm as he said, "I'm sorry, Old Sir. Although I know the purpose of this incomplete map, I cannot tell you. To express my apology, please name your price, Old Sir. As long as I can afford it, I will not haggle."

Upon receiving Lin Ming's affirmative reply, the Ice Emperor's face showed excitement, longing, and relief, but his gaze towards Lin Ming was filled with chilling coldness.

This isn't hard to imagine. The person before us could be the Ice Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire. As one of the strongest in the Jia Ma Empire, he had his cultivation sealed because of a broken map of unknown purpose, thus wasting decades in this desert land.

Now that this young man claims to know the use of this incomplete map, the Ice Emperor naturally wants to know its function, otherwise he would feel he has wasted decades of his life.

"Little guy, now that you know the purpose of this incomplete map, you have no choice but to tell me today!" After looking at Lin Ming with a chilling expression, the Ice Emperor said calmly and confidently.

As the former Ice Emperor, although her strength is now sealed to the level of Dou Ling, even so, ordinary Dou King Expert would not have an advantage in front of Ice Emperor.

Judging from Lin Ming's appearance, he is at most in his twenties. Even if he is a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, a young man of that age could not possibly have a high level of cultivation.

Since this kid is being so ungrateful and doesn't want to tell me, I'll just use force to intimidate him. That should make him obediently tell me.

"I never expected you to possess the cultivation of Dou Ling, Old Sir. I am truly ashamed. However, if you want to force me, Lin Ming, to do something I don't want to do, Dou Ling cultivation level is not enough!" Feeling the Dou Ling aura emanating from the Ice Emperor, Lin Ming first put the fragmented map into his Storage Ring, then no longer concealed his Dou Ling Peak aura and released it directly as he spoke.

"Dou Ling Peak Ice Emperor finished speaking, a chilling aura spread outwards from his body, and in just a moment, the originally scorching environment became as cold as the dead of winter.

"Ice Attribute Dou Qi!" Lin Ming feigned a slight daze as he watched the Ice Emperor's Ice Attribute spread out. However, a moment later, azure -Golden Flame erupted from Lin Ming's body, instantly burning away the icy aura surrounding him.

"Azure -Golden Flame? Heavenly Flames? But its power shouldn't reach the level of Heavenly Flames! Boy, I must say, you are the most talented person I have ever seen. If it weren't for the fact that this incomplete map is also very important to me, I might have given it to you and even shared a drink with you. But now, Ice Spikes, go!" After the Ice Emperor finished speaking, ice spikes appeared around him, and as the Ice Emperor uttered the word "go," these Ice Spikes whistled towards Lin Ming.

"Hmph! A mere trick! Melt it!" Seeing the Ice Spikes hurtling towards him, Lin Ming as he raised his hand, sending the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire flying towards the attacking Ice Spikes. The Ice Spikes were then vaporized and vanished under the heat of the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire.

"Old Sir, it's only polite to return the favor! You should also try the power of my flames!" As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire in the air transformed into Flame Serpent under Lin Ming's control, and with a flick of his finger, they attacked the Ice Emperor in front of him.

Seeing the serpentine flames attacking him, the Ice Emperor remained calm. His withered hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, while he uttered a soft cry, "Condensing Ice Mirror!"
