Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave

Boom!

A towering pillar of fire rose within Jialing Pass, its flames contained within a small area, causing no damage to anything else around it, and its light illuminated the entire Jialing Pass as if it were daytime.

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the guards at Jialing Pass, but by the time they arrived, the pillar of fire had already begun to dissipate.

Strangely, the lingering high temperature of the fire pillar can only be felt when one enters a specific area.

Aside from losing a house with a yard, the area suffered no other losses.

In their eyes, only a legendary Titled Douluo could possess such overwhelming power, so the matter was ultimately dismissed as Titled Douluo seeking revenge and could only be left unresolved.

The next day, after Chen Yuan brought Dali Gu to the street, the scene from the previous night had become a topic of conversation in Jialing Pass.

Some say it was punishment sent down by the gods.

Some say it was Titled Douluo coming for revenge, but they didn't want to involve innocent people.

As for the truth, only Chen Yuan, Dali Gu, and Electrolux know it.

Last night, Chen Yuan and Dali Gu didn't find anything of value in that courtyard, not even a trace of anything related to the Holy Spirit Cult.

This branch is at most a transit point for the Holy Spirit Cult; it has no other value.

However, today, Chen Yuan has once again come to the area where the three gods are fighting.

He always felt that the Holy Spirit Cult's establishment of a branch at Jialing Pass and the fallen Angel and demons were related.

Perhaps fragments of their Divine Throne can be found here?

It turned out that Chen Yuan was overthinking things. Even if there were such a good thing, it was impossible for it to happen to him. Anyway, he wandered around for a long time without any reaction.

Strictly speaking, this is the place where the Angel God's Divine Throne was shattered and the Rakshasa God fell. Where Qian Renxue ultimately died and where the Angelic Sacred Sword is are all mysteries.

Even if Ye Guyi, the Holy Angel, came, I doubt he would be able to discover anything.

After all, the quality of Holy Angel is nowhere near that of Six-Winged Angel, and it is unlikely that it would resonate with a shattered Divine Throne.

"Boss, do you have any old maps?"

"Ancient maps? Those are quite rare. May I ask, sir, how old are you looking for one?"

Inside the antique shop, an old man wearing a monocle looked with great interest at the young man in front of him who was accompanied by a Soul Beast.

Most of the people who come to Jialing Pass on weekdays are traveling merchants, and you can see a lot of good things here, including cultural relics.

You can occasionally see artifacts from 10,000 years ago, but ancient maps are extremely rare, especially since the buyer is a young man.

"I need a map of the continent from ten thousand years ago. Do you have one?"

"A map of the continent from ten thousand years ago? Guest, you're not here to search for treasure too, are you? Although our Jialing Pass has a history of ten thousand years and is the site of a great battle between the three gods ten thousand years ago, it's actually nothing special except for its strategic location."

"Many people have come here in the past to search for treasures, hoping to find something left over from the Spirit Hall era, but they all leave empty-handed."

"Boss, I just want to collect it, do you have any?"

Yes, I'll get it for you right away.

Judging from the boss's expression, Chen Yuan knew that the boss still didn't believe him. It didn't matter; let him be misunderstood.

Before long, the shopkeeper came to Chen Yuan's side with several rolls of maps and spread them out in front of him.

These maps are all made of Soul Beast. Ordinary paper would struggle to last even a thousand years, but only Soul Beast hides could possibly last ten thousand years.

"These are all rubbings, old objects from four or five thousand years ago. The originals from ten thousand years ago are extremely rare. My little shop doesn't have them. If you're lucky, you might find them at an auction house in a big city."

Carefully examining the maps, Chen Yuan was trying to find something.

According to the main legends about Tang San circulating on the Douluo Continent, he obtained his Divine Slaughter's Domain from an evil Douluo he encountered when he was young.

This Evil Douluo must be the King of Slaughter.

This is also the oldest record of Evil Soul Master that Chen Yuan has been able to find so far.

Since the King of Slaughter had been mentioned, Chen Yuan naturally wanted to visit the Slaughter City, but the Slaughter City had not been mentioned much.

The original text only mentions this place where the Fallen One are imprisoned in a few words, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.

"Guest, are you looking for a certain place? I see you've been looking around for quite a while now, perhaps I can offer you some suggestions."

"I'm looking for the Slaughter City. Have you heard of it, boss?"

"The Slaughter City? Never heard of it."

Is that really the case?

Seeing that he wouldn't gain anything here, Chen Yuan casually bought an ancient map and left the antique shop. After leaving Jialing Pass for a certain distance, he activated his Galloping Pegasus Domain".

As Chen Yuan examined the ancient map, his gaze was fixed on the three characters "Vast Sea City".

This city is located in the western part of the present-day Heavenly Soul Empire, but due to the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, it is no longer the famous coastal city it was ten thousand years ago.

We'll definitely visit this place later; it's the legendary Sea God Clan, which should still be in seclusion at this time.

Since we can't find the Slaughter City, heading to Vast Sea City is a good option, but Vast Sea City is a bit remote. Dragon City is closer to Jialing Pass.

Dragon City is located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is also the location of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect, and it is a place that Chen Yuan must go to in his plan.

After flying for about two days, Chen Yuan arrived in Dragon City. If he flew any further, he would enter the Far North, where the temperature was extremely low.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was a fire-attribute Soul Master, so he didn't feel cold and didn't need to wear more clothes.

In Dragon City, the two major representative forces are the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect. The relationship between the two sects is relatively good; at least they don't resort to violence at the drop of a hat.

The Earth Dragon Sect's inherited martial soul is a special earth dragon called the Rouge Dragon, while the Heavenly Dragon Sect are descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, including Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, who lived ten thousand years ago. Their inherited martial soul is naturally the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect is stronger than the Earth Dragon Sect. Its leader is a Titled Douluo- level expert. Although its power is far inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of ten thousand years ago, it is still considered one of the top sects on the continent.

This is why Xu Sanshi didn't initially think of Bei Bei's background as part of Shrek Academy's direct lineage; after all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is far more famous than the branch within the Shrek Academy.

Upon arriving in Dragon City, Chen Yuan headed straight for the Earth Dragon Sect. He didn't want to cause any trouble; getting the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow and leaving was the best option.

In Dragon City, the Earth Dragon Sect is quite famous and easy to find out about.

The Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave is located inside a well in the back garden of the Earth Dragon Sect Gate. Given the current Earth Dragon Sect, it's not impossible for me to enter the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave openly and legitimately.

However, that would probably require clearing the entire Earth Dragon Sect first, which would be too much trouble. It's easier to just grab what you need and run.

It wasn't until dark that Chen Yuan, empowered by the Galloping Pegasus Domain, entered the backyard of the Earth Dragon Sect directly from the sky.

If someone of Chen Yuan's strength could be discovered at night by the Earth Dragon Sect, which doesn't even have a Titled Douluo, then he might as well give up.

The Earth Dragon Sect is a sect with a history of thousands of years. Its backyard is quite large, with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs. Finding a well will take some effort.

Fortunately, being Ultimate Fire, Chen Yuan's perception of temperature was still very keen.

Soon, they found the well deep inside.

As soon as Chen Yuan approached the well, he could feel an extremely dense amount of ice-attribute Heaven and Earth Origin Power around it. With the help of his Soul Aperture, this ice-attribute Heaven and Earth Origin Power was instantly transformed into fire-attribute energy upon entering Chen Yuan's body.

Feeling the low temperature of the well and adjusting his state slightly, Chen Yuan floated up and plunged into the water.

As soon as he entered the well, a chilling aura immediately assaulted Chen Yuan. However, this chill was nothing to Chen Yuan; even without activating his Martial Soul, his physical constitution was sufficient to withstand it.

The well water was icy cold, with a temperature definitely below zero, but strangely, it did not freeze.

Upon entering the Cold Spring, Chen Yuan clearly felt an even more concentrated ice-attribute Heaven and Earth Origin Power ripple in the water.

The deeper you go, the lower the temperature gets. After descending to a depth of just over twenty meters, there is already almost no light left.

Chen Yuan's Spiritual Power spread out, transmitting all the scenes in the water back to his brain. Even without light and unable to see clearly what was happening in the water, his Spiritual Power could still guide Chen Yuan.

Upon arriving at the spring, Chen Yuan felt the temperature was quite low and subconsciously released his Soul Power to ward off the cold.

According to the original description, Chen Yuan quickly found the mechanism set up by the Earth Dragon Sect. After activating it correctly, the entire stone wall moved, and a hole in the stone wall that could only accommodate one person quietly opened.

The moment the door opened, a strong blast of cold air swept in. Chen Yuan instinctively raised his hand, and his Soul Power, containing the Ultimate Fire, clashed with the cold air. When the cold air hit Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan only felt a trace of warmth.

The cave wasn't very big, but the walls inside were covered with crystals of all sizes, looking like little blue jellies.

Ice Extreme Divine Crystal! An entire cave of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal!

While Ice Extreme Divine Crystal appears to be a crystal, it actually possesses the ductility of metal and a certain vitality. As an ice-attribute metal, Ice Extreme Divine Crystal combines ductility and flexibility, making it one of the top-tier rare metals.

Although these Ice Extreme Divine Crystal are far less valuable than the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, they are still rare treasures, especially for Soul Engineer, for whom this place is practically a treasure trove.

The prerequisite is that this thing can be forged by Soul Master whose attribute is not Ultimate Ice.

That's right, this thing, like the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, is made of Ultimate Ice, and only Ultimate Ice Soul Master can forge and mine it.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan had a flash of inspiration.

Ice Extreme Divine Crystal have life force, right? Anyway, Chen Yuan doesn't need too many Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. He can just absorb all the life force of these Ice Extreme Divine Crystal after he gets the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, right?

Arriving near the spring, Chen Yuan ventured deeper inside and immediately felt a bone-chilling cold sweep over his entire body, causing his Soul Power to momentarily stagnate.

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, and a light from his Soul Bone shone from his right leg. He fully activated his Galloping Pegasus Domain, slapped his hands behind him, and almost instantly, he felt himself fall into a small cave.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sitting on the ground, his chest heaving, Chen Yuan greedily inhaled the fresh air, feeling extremely uncomfortable with his body being damp.

Moreover, this small cave was extremely dark, without a single ray of light.

A scorching flame rose from Chen Yuan's body, instantly drying his wet clothes and illuminating the entire cave.

On the walls of this cave, there are more than a dozen strange icicles of varying sizes, with a pure white appearance like jade.

Inside the ice pillars, liquid could be faintly seen flowing; the terrifyingly low temperature of the entire well was emanating from these ice pillars.

Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow!

These dozen or so are the ones that are exposed; there are likely many more.

Even just by looking at them, Chen Yuan could sense the energy contained within these Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

If the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal outside hadn't diverted some of the energy, there might have been even more Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow here.

The God Sealing Platform was taken out of the Battle Dragon Machine. The white vortex that had been resisting the God Sealing Platform stopped spinning instantly after sensing the low temperature around it and the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Chen Yuan actually sensed surprise from a cyclone.

"How is it, Snow Empress? The Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow is right before your eyes. This Profound Ice Marrow is enough to help you rebuild a physical body. Now you should consider whether you want to cooperate with me."

This was the fourth and final time that Chen Yuan had calmly negotiated with Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress's previous refusal could be explained by her distrust of humans and her belief that Chen Yuan could find the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

After all, in the entire Douluo II, only two Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave were mentioned. One of them was in the Core Zone of Far North, and it had long been devoured by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Otherwise, it would not have been able to break through a million years.

Now, the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow is right in front of the Snow Empress. If the Snow Empress continues to be so shameless, Chen Yuan guarantees that her fate will definitely be to become a research material for Electrolux on his path of researching Soul Spirit.

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Snow Empress fell into a long silence, seemingly after much consideration. Then, the white vortex gently bumped against the God Sealing Platform a few times.

Chen Yuan released his Spiritual Power, enveloping the God Sealing Platform, and a clear, ethereal voice appeared directly in Chen Yuan's mind.

"Human, how do you know that I am inside the God Sealing Platform? How do you know that there is Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow here?"

"I can't comment on those two points. You have two choices: either cooperate with me, which is a win-win situation, or become my experimental subject. Choose."

The Snow Empress and Chen Yuan himself had no relationship. Apart from Chen Yuan coveting her essence and the 700,000-year lifespan, Chen Yuan did not care whether the Snow Empress lived or died.

He simply felt that taking Snow Empress's things and then deliberately killing her would go against his conscience; otherwise, Chen Yuan wouldn't have talked to her so many times.

Is Snow Empress beautiful? Of course she is, you could even say she is the most beautiful creature in the world in Douluo II.

But what does that have to do with Chen Yuan?

Try taking your seventh Soul Ring to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; maybe you can bring back a Fire Dragon King.

Help the Snow Empress rebuild her body, and then transform the remaining essence into nourishment through the Soul Aperture. This way, there's no need to worry about waste, and the body won't suffer from problems due to incompatible attributes.

A spirit born of nature, the energy she contains is estimated to be purer than the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

"You!"

"If you help me rebuild my physical body, my soul will no longer be one with my origin, and you will not be able to obtain my Soul Ring. What are you after?"

"What I want is your essence; if you don't have Soul Ring, then you don't have one."

Snow Empress was furious.

If she had had the Ice Bear King Xiaobai by her side when she transformed into human form, she would never have been captured by a human Soul Engineer, much less be auctioned off and bought like merchandise.

She would not be threatened by a human she considered easily annihilated.

But she had already witnessed the terrifying power of this human before, who possessed strength far beyond her comprehension.

Despite being merely Soul Emperor, he already possessed a unique core similar to Soul Core.

I just sensed Di Tian's aura on him. Why would Di Tian's aura appear on a human?

Snow Empress was certain that if she refused this human's invitation to cooperate again, she would die a horrible death.

"Before we cooperate, you must demonstrate to me how a human Soul Emperor can reshape my physical body!"

"Otherwise, I'd rather self-destruct now!"
