First Exchange After Tens of Thousands of Years
"Oh?" Yi Huang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had appeared in the hall at some point. The teacup in its hand, which it had not yet put down, proved that it had come in a great hurry.
Indeed, the moment Nether Sky Glacial Crystal stepped into the Langya Realm, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, who was exchanging tea-tasting experiences with a group of Elder, sensed the other party's aura.
Worried that this person might cause some trouble, they rushed over immediately.
"In that case, let Thunder Elder handle it."
Seeing the calm demeanor of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, Yi Huang was certain that this unfamiliar powerful figure posed no threat, so she and Ye Jianxin left on their own initiative.
Before leaving, Ye Jianxin glanced at Nether Sky Glacial Crystal with a complicated expression, which made the latter clench his fists and almost attack.
As soon as the two left, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said with a rather cheeky grin, "Hey, what's going on with that guy! A ten-thousand-year-old iron tree can actually bloom..."
A series of teasing remarks came out of Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's sharp tongue. It's not that Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice is mean-spirited, but it's just that the two of them have always been rivals, and it's normal for them to fight whenever they meet.
Nether Sky Glacial Crystal was also exasperated. Damn it, she had been using this face for tens of thousands of years, and now it had become a counterfeit in this dilapidated Langya Pavilion?!
Finally, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal couldn't hold back any longer, "Die, you bastard!"
With a sudden wave of his hand, a slightly illusory Dou Qi Stream instantly appeared before Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, which the latter caught in astonishment.
Seeing that Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had effortlessly blocked his enraged attack, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal looked at him in surprise, "Your strength has actually broken through to the Five-Star Dou Sheng?"
This young man must have only been a One-Star Dou Sheng back then, right?
Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice also exclaimed in surprise, "Your cultivation level is actually only Four Star Dou Sheng? That's quite impressive!"
These words were not sarcastic mockery, but genuine amazement. As a family member, one knows one's own situation; Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's strength has not diminished over the years.
But the Nether Sky Glacial Crystal must be a different case. It regained its strength after it disappeared, which is no easy feat!
Nether Sky Glacial Crystal was furious at Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's praise, and retorted angrily, "Unlike you, you found a good new home!"
Observing the other party's leisurely state, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. Look at them... drinking tea without any worries, while what about herself?
My family was wiped out, and now I have to travel all over the place. We can't compare!
Then, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal could only forcefully change the subject, "What about the Extreme Cold Crystal?"
"The Extreme Cold Crystal?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said casually, "It was refined a long time ago."
"Boom!"
The aura unleashed by the Nether Sky Glacial Crystal instantly shattered all the items in the hall, except for the chair beneath Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, which remained completely intact.
The sudden commotion almost caused the experts from the Langya Pavilion to rush in, wanting to teach a lesson to the unruly fellow, but Yi Huang stopped them in time.
At this moment, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal stared coldly at the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, "Give me an explanation!"
"Explanation? What explanation!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice looked at the other party with amusement, casually placed the teacup on the condensed ice table, and said, pretending not to know.
"Snap!" The Long Whip of Cold Qi instantly appeared in Nether Sky Glacial Crystal's hand, tearing through space and pointing directly at Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.
"That person is the successor of the Great Emperor. Are you sure you want to cause trouble for him?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice spoke leisurely just before the attack arrived.
The attack came to an abrupt halt. "The Emperor?"
"Otherwise, why would I be here?" the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice retorted.
"Have you become mentally impaired all these years?"
The reason why Nether Sky Glacial Crystal was so irritable just now was simply because she was angry that the Extreme Cold Crystal had been refined by someone.
Unlike Exotic Fire, which require each other to devour and compete for the title of the first among Wan Huo to form the Emperor Flame, the Heavenly Ice is not Mysterious Object born of heaven and earth. Instead, it was formed from the origin of the super-powerful Ice Spirit Great Emperor from ancient times.
They share the same origin and each has the same share of essence. The difference in combat power and ranking is only due to their respective characteristics and the order in which they were created.
Each of them has the potential to become Dou Di, and their initial strength is Dou Sheng, which is an extremely high starting point. Devouring each other is not only risky but also a thankless task, so it is completely unnecessary.
That's why they had a good relationship; Nether Sky Glacial Crystal Jing was furious when she first heard it. Now, after hearing Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's explanation, the latter hesitated.
Regardless, their lives originated from the Ice Spirit Great Emperor, and their successor naturally deserves respect—a consensus shared by all the Heavenly Ice. It's just that emotionally, it remains difficult to accept...
At this moment, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice continued, "The Extreme Cold Crystal and the Great Emperor's cultivation technique are kept together."
"Now you should understand, right?"
"Huh?!" Nether Sky Glacial Crystal eyes widened, and she blurted out, "How is this possible?"
But the resolute expression on Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's face also showed that he had not lied.
When they first met, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice knew that the Extreme Cold Crystal must have been a gift from the Ice Spirit Great Emperor to his successor, or perhaps even the Extreme Cold Crystal itself was aware of this.
The Extreme Cold Crystal is the custodian of the inheritance. It uses itself as bait to put on a test, and to obtain the inheritance, it must have gained the former's approval.
Therefore, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice easily accepted reality. And what the former could consider, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal naturally figured out quickly as well.
He simply said coldly, "It seems you're quite satisfied with that successor?"
Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice simply smiled and remained silent; only those who had personally interacted with Xiao Han could truly understand this.
"After the seal was broken, you should have been among that Spirit Clan, right?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice asked.
Nether Sky Glacial Crystal nodded, "I was the one who secretly pushed for the alliance with the Langya Pavilion back then."
Now that things have come to this, she has no intention of hiding anything; joining forces is the right thing to do.
"Perfect, I can share information with you about those beasts who exterminated the Spirit Clan."
"No need," Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice interrupted, continuing under the former's questioning gaze:
"We know pretty much everything about that race now. Weren't those guys from back then among them?"
"Where exactly have you gotten to?" Nether Sky Glacial Crystal felt utterly useless! She felt like her intelligence was being completely crushed.
Then, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice revealed all the conclusions reached by the Langya Pavilion over the past few days, which surprised Nether Sky Glacial Crystal.
"I think I understand why you're willing to stay here!" Nether Sky Glacial Crystal exclaimed. A powerful force with advanced intelligence and skillful utilization of its resources brought her a strong sense of security and comfort, completely different from her experience in the Spirit Clan.
"What? Want to join?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice extended an invitation.
"Aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble?" Nether Sky Glacial Crystal asked, squinting.
"Troublesome?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice shook its head and said, "After a year, no one will be a problem."
After Xiao Han broke through to the Nine Star, his strength was already enough to stand on equal footing with the Ancient Races. At that time, it would be hard to say who would be in trouble.
"And you even dare to take in a little girl from the Spirit Clan?"
"What is there to be afraid of?"
At this moment, it was not Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice that answered, but Yi Huang, who had appeared in the hall at some unknown time.
Nether Sky Glacial Crystal turned around and saw the other person's extremely friendly smile.
