Qin Yue and Ice Empress's operation went smoothly. Whether entering Dragon City or the Ice Spring in Earth Dragon Sect's rear courtyard, they left no trace for anyone to notice.
The two of them silently arrived twenty-five meters beneath the Ice Spring. Qin Yue pointed toward the spring source thirty meters below, signaling to Ice Empress that what she wanted was there.
Ice Empress had sensed something ever since entering Earth Dragon Sect's rear courtyard. That subtle feeling became even stronger after she plunged into the spring water. Now that Qin Yue had confirmed it, she suddenly felt reassured, as though the treasure was already in her grasp.
She manipulated her Soul Power into the form of an Ice Jade Scorpion, wrapped Qin Yue inside it, and charged together with him toward the spring source below.
As they descended deeper, the surrounding water pressure increased, while the temperature plummeted. Even Ice Empress's long-unruffled heart began to pound violently.
At this depth, Ice Empress could already sense the incomparably pure energy within the spring source below. It was so vast, so pure. Her confidence in surviving her next Heavenly Tribulation instantly soared to its peak. If Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow could not help her succeed, then she could never have made it this far in the first place!
Ice Empress curled her tail around the Soul Power Ice Jade Scorpion, turning into a streak of light as she silently slipped into the spring source. The freezing current inside was no more than a tickle to her, and the extreme cold made her feel perfectly at ease. Coming here was as comfortable as returning home.
If she had not realized that this environment was formed from rootless water, Ice Empress would have considered settling here in ten years.
