In the span of a few breaths, Xuan Zi brought Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei to the Ice Mound.
Xuan Zi carried Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei as they floated above the Ice Mound, looking down at it below.
As they watched, subtle changes came over all three of their expressions.
Because from a bird's-eye view, they could faintly make out that this Ice Mound was actually shaped like a giant dragon crouching on the ground!
Clearly, this was not a naturally formed Ice Mound. It was very likely that after an Ice Attribute giant dragon soul beast died, its entire body had turned into ice, forming this Ice Mound!
Most importantly, if nothing unexpected had happened, the dead Ice Attribute giant dragon soul beast should have undergone a mutation and gained the Light Attribute!
Otherwise, even if some treasure had been left behind, it could not possibly have attracted Bei Bei and caused his martial soul to throb.
Xuan Zi looked at Bei Bei and suddenly thought of an experience Mu En had once told him about.
When Mu En was traveling the continent in his early years, he had unintentionally discovered the corpse of a Light-type White Dragon in an ancient ruin. After that giant dragon died, its essence and power condensed into a Dragon Pill. With the Dragon Pill's help, Mu En's cultivation speed increased by a great deal. In the end, the Dragon Pill had even helped Mu En become a Limit Douluo in one stroke.
Once, Mu En had wanted to borrow the Dragon Pill's power to help Xuan Zi break through. After all, Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull martial soul, as well as the Taotie Bloodline he possessed, could both be counted as Dragon Species.
Unfortunately, Xuan Zi could not withstand the overbearing aura within the Dragon Pill, and his martial soul itself was not especially suitable, so the attempt ultimately failed.
Even Xuan Zi had failed, let alone anyone else.
Now, Mu En kept the Dragon Pill nourished inside his own body, using his own Light Holy Dragon Soul Power to continuously improve the Dragon Pill's attributes, wearing away the Dragon Pill's domineering edges and gradually changing the energy within it.
If nothing unexpected happened, once Mu En passed away, the Dragon Pill would be inherited by Bei Bei.
But that also required Bei Bei to break through to Level 70 and completely awaken the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul before he could withstand the Dragon Pill's power.
Coming back to the situation before his eyes, Xuan Zi felt that Bei Bei, just like Elder Mu, had picked up a treasure left in a dragon corpse!
And the fact that this treasure could even attract Bei Bei meant it was useful to Bei Bei's martial soul! It might even allow Bei Bei to awaken the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul ahead of time.
In the future, when Bei Bei inherited the Dragon Pill and absorbed the Light Attribute within it, it was very likely to transform Bei Bei's Light Attribute into an ultimate attribute in one stroke!
"As expected of family!" Xuan Zi could not help exclaiming.
Originally, Xuan Zi had only half believed what Huo Yuhao had said about picking up a treasure near the Ice Emperor Tribe.
Because in theory, it was possible, but he had never heard of such a thing happening before.
The idea Xuan Zi had held earlier was also to win over Huo Yuhao. He had been completely taking the attitude of swinging a couple times whether there were dates on the tree or not.
After all, he was a Super Douluo. What was wrong with bringing two juniors around the Far North Land for a couple of laps?
Nothing was wrong.
If he could help Huo Yuhao fully awaken his martial soul, that would be an even greater bargain.
Now, after walking around, they had actually run into something good.
Xuan Zi suddenly felt that Shrek Academy had simply won big!
It had to be the Sea God's blessing!
Actually, Huo Yuhao had not expected Bei Bei to have such an opportunity either. This really was the protection of Shrek Academy's Fortune.
Huo Yuhao could be certain that this was not an opportunity given to him, her dear son, by the world mother. Because the World Auspicious Cloud had not made any movement and remained beautiful.
Moreover, within the overall Fortune of the Far North Land, Huo Yuhao really had seen the phantom of a giant dragon. The giant dragon here that had turned into an Ice Mound might have been of the same race as the owner of that giant dragon phantom.
However, do not forget that Bei Bei's forehead was dark right now!
Yet he had obtained a stroke of fortune.
Where fortune lies, misfortune follows~
Xuan Zi withdrew his gaze from the Ice Mound and directly asked Bei Bei, "Bei Bei, where is that thing you said was attracting you?"
"It should be over there!" Following the sense from his martial soul, Bei Bei raised his hand and pointed.
It was exactly where the giant dragon's head was. It was also the place where Huo Yuhao had seen the Fortune gather.
Xuan Zi wasted no words and directly brought Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei diving down toward the position of the dragon's head.
Under the grinding of cold winds over who knew how many years and the burial of ice and snow, the shape of the dragon's head could no longer be made out here. It looked like an ordinary Ice Mound.
The only strange thing was a protruding ice crystal at the top that had not been buried by wind and snow.
Xuan Zi also saw this one strange spot. He wasted no words either and directly kicked the protruding ice crystal to pieces, only to discover that beneath the ice crystal was an Ice Cave space.
The three of them directly dropped into the Ice Cave and clearly saw the situation inside.
The space inside the Ice Cave was not large and was covered in ice spikes. The most eye-catching thing was in the central area, where several ice spikes formed a strangely shaped Ice Platform. And on top of the Ice Platform was embedded an Ice Blue Crystal the size of a fist!
Most peculiar of all, inside that Ice Blue Crystal was a golden dragon-shaped pattern, giving off the aura of the Light Attribute.
The sunlight falling through the gap in the shattered ice crystal above happened to envelop the Ice Platform.
The crystal on the Ice Platform was slowly absorbing the light power in the sunlight.
Huo Yuhao thought of how there had been a protruding ice crystal above the Ice Mound earlier, similar to a convex lens. The focal point of that convex lens might originally have been gathered on the crystal on the Ice Platform.
Without a doubt, that crystal was a Light Attribute treasure.
But whether it was Xuan Zi, Bei Bei, or Huo Yuhao, as they looked at the crystal, they all looked at one another in confusion, unable to figure out for the moment exactly what the crystal was.
"It's not a Dragon Pill?" Xuan Zi was somewhat disappointed.
It was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm who noticed something unusual.
"Brother Hao, there's a soul aura on that crystal!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone was grave. "This reminds me of an item that appeared in the original work."
"Hm? What is it?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
"The Crystal Core of the Evil Eye Clan!"
The Evil Eye was a soul beast species unique to the Sun Moon Continent, mainly residing in Fiend Forest. The strongest among them, the Evil Eye Tyrant, was called the Evil Emperor, possessed nearly eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, and ranked second among the Ten Great Beasts.
Therefore, Shrek Academy did not have much research on creatures like Evil Eyes. At most, it only had records of killing ordinary Evil Eyes, hundred-year Evil Eyes, and thousand-year Evil Eyes. There were no real records of ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrants.
And Evil Eyes also had another trait. Once an Evil Eye's cultivation reached a certain level, usually at ten thousand years, its soul would rise along with it, forming a special Crystal Core, and then it would hide the origin of its soul within.
Thus, even if an Evil Eye was killed, as long as the Crystal Core hiding the Evil Eye's soul origin was not destroyed, the Evil Eye would still have a sliver of life, allowing its soul to escape, and it might even have a chance to revive and be reborn!
"Brother Sky Dream, are you saying that crystal is like the Crystal Core of the Evil Eye, both products of the soul after ascension, and that a soul beast's soul origin is hidden inside?!" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise within his Spiritual Sea.
Causing the soul to rise and transform was not an ability unique to the Evil Eye Clan. It was just that the Evil Eye Clan had a talent in this area, so it was easier for them to accomplish.
"Mm, it's very likely. And I also sensed weak hidden spiritual fluctuations within it, proving that inside that crystal, there isn't only a soul origin. It's even possible... the original owner's spiritual consciousness is sleeping inside!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said gravely.
While Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were communicating and making deductions.
Xuan Zi could no longer hold back.
"Bei Bei, are you sure it's this thing?"
Bei Bei hurriedly nodded, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the crystal atop the Ice Platform. "That's right. The thing causing my martial soul to throb is that crystal!"
"Good! Then we'll take it!" Xuan Zi raised his hand. Soul Power left his body and transformed into a palm, then grabbed through the air, directly drawing the crystal on the Ice Platform into his hand.
The instant the crystal left the Ice Platform.
The entire Ice Mound actually shook violently, then shattered as if a mountain had collapsed.
But this clearly could not injure Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, who were under Xuan Zi's protection. It only made Xuan Zi feel it was somewhat troublesome.
However, as the Ice Mound collapsed, a powerful Ice Attribute aura bloomed from within the Ice Mound and shot straight into the sky. It was like a signal lamp in the dark night, making it impossible not to attract the attention of the other soul beasts in the Core Region!
The eruption of this Ice Attribute aura made many soul beasts stuck at the limit of their age drool with desire.
They needed this power to break through in strength.
In an instant, the Core Region fell into turmoil!
