Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave! Super Harvest!

The three of them plunged into the ice spring, and Snow Emperor raised a soul power barrier to protect them as they dived toward the depths.

Dozens of meters later, a terrifying cold current surged over, and even through the barrier, Beiming Lieyang felt a bone-chilling cold.

The next moment, however, a faint layer of golden light welled up from inside his body, radiating a gentle warmth that blocked the chill outside.

"Xiaoyang, you've gotten warm again." Ice Emperor leaned closer to him, curiously examining that layer of golden light.

As an Ice Jade Scorpion, she naturally detested scorching things, but this warmth on Beiming Lieyang's body made her feel comfortable, stirring up not the slightest bit of rejection.

Snow Emperor looked at that layer of golden light in startled suspicion: "This is the power of the Solar Star God martial soul. It can resist this kind of low temperature without the slightest hint of a burning sensation, exactly the same as when I first picked you up a few years ago."

"What on earth is the rank of this martial soul of yours?" Ice Emperor recalled how he could double all his attributes just by sunbathing earlier, and she couldn't help muttering, "You're clearly just a Grand Spirit Master, yet relying on this martial soul to withstand this kind of low temperature... it's simply outrageous."

Beiming Lieyang nodded: "It's strong."

Back in that era, anyone who could style themselves after the sun—wasn't every single one of them a powerhouse or the protagonist?

Which righteous leader woke up and said their very first line was, "Evil Star God, you've got a lot of nerve"?

Running right into the enemy's lair, grabbing two lackeys by the heads and smashing them together, opening their mouth to say, "A bunch of trash."

Suppressing the villains, acting more villainous than the villains themselves.

The Solar Star God Apollo was just such an overbearing entity.

If not for plot armor, the opponent would have already broken straight inside the spaceship and cut off Salong's head—which was wrapped in Void Mysterious Ice—with a single sword strike!

While speaking, the three of them had already reached the entrance of the cave.

Snow Emperor channeled her soul power to illuminate the surroundings. The cave walls were embedded with deep blue crystals, crystal-clear and glowing with a dreamy, faint light.

"Extreme Ice Divine Crystal. Something that grows alongside a Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave. We really did find a Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave." Snow Emperor was also slightly moved as she looked at these deep-blue crystals.

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave has been beneath the mysterious ice layer for over ten thousand years, enduring massive pressure to slowly derive little by little.

To call it 'ten-thousand-year'—in reality, that's just taking ten thousand years as a starting point. It has to go through at least hundreds of thousands or even a million years, with a fortuitous coincidence, just to possibly form."

"In the past, we also found some Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow in the Far North core circle, but those weren't Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Caves. The Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow they could produce was pitifully little and pitifully small."

Ice Emperor's eyes widened to the size of saucers. She slipped right out of Snow Emperor's protective barrier, completely ignoring the terrifying low temperatures that far surpassed ultimate ice, and spoke with intense excitement.

"Previously, we went through great difficulty to find a Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave, and we thought we'd be able to obtain a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow. Unfortunately, the mysterious ice marrow there had long been devoured and emptied by something, leaving behind only traces of bugs crawling all over the ground."

She turned her head to look at this expanse of caves before her, her excitement impossible to suppress: "I really never expected that there would be a second Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave in this world!"

Snow Emperor nodded slightly: "Beast God Ditian was able to break through eight bottlenecks one after another and remain unmatched by anyone all along precisely because he likewise mastered a supreme treasure land.

Although the Lake of Life contains life attributes that don't completely match his darkness attributes, even so, he has been able to continuously cultivate and improve relying on that place.

As for the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave, for ice-type soul beasts like us, the attributes are a complete match. Its preciousness is not a bit less than that of the Lake of Life."

"And this cave is also accompanied by so many Extreme Ice Divine Crystals." Snow Emperor observed her surroundings.

Ice Emperor's face was filled with excitement: "Although Extreme Ice Divine Crystals are inferior to Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, they are still rare and hard-to-come-by good things. They are both the hardest and the most pliable ice-type metals, and Xiaoyang will have use for them in the future."

Beiming Lieyang interrupted her: "We can talk about the Extreme Ice Divine Crystals later. The most important thing is the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow. Snow Mom, Ice Aunt, your strengths will definitely make a flying leap forward after you absorb it."

The Ice and Snow Emperors had been very good to him, and right now he could only provide this intelligence so that their strengths would leap forward, repaying them just a tiny bit in return.

Besides, only by making his backers stronger could he properly rely on them.

Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were moved at the same time.

This child hadn't considered himself at all.

Snow Emperor reached out and gently stroked his head: "Even if the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow in the entire cave were scarce, after your Ice Aunt and I have enough for ourselves, we will definitely leave a portion for you."

"That's right, that's right!" Ice Emperor also stood on tiptoe and patted his head, "You're the god we plan to cultivate, after all; we've always got to leave a share for you."

"And come to think of it, the taste of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow is far worse than that Void Mysterious Ice of yours, and since it can triple all attributes, I'm looking forward even more to the god-level Void Mysterious Ice you'll produce after you become a god."

"Snow Mom, Little Aunt, you two finish absorbing it first."

Seeing that Beiming Lieyang remained firm, the two of them looked at each other and said no more.

Ice Emperor made her move first, her ultimate ice soul power covering the Extreme Ice Divine Crystals on the cave wall, softening them so she could harvest them.

Snow Emperor put all the crystals into her storage soul tool separately, categorizing them by whether they contained ice spirits.

After block after block of Extreme Ice Divine Crystals vanished, the temperature inside the cave visibly rose.

Having collected the crystals, the three of them continued onward, swimming deeper into the cold spring.

The further down they went, the lower the temperature dropped. Even a Title Douluo could only endure for a few breaths here, yet the Ice and Snow Emperors felt an unprecedented level of comfort.

A springhead appeared ahead, and Snow Emperor reinforced her barrier, leading the three of them surging in.

Behind the springhead was a tiny cave, less than ten square meters in area with a height of less than one and a half meters.

Exotic ice pillars crisscrossed the inside of the cave, and liquid could be vaguely seen circulating within the pillars, radiating a coldness that was terrifying to the extreme.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow!" Ice Emperor's eyes were filled with elation, "It really is Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow! This is amazing!"

She quickly counted them once, her voice trembling:

"Fifty-seven roots! A total of fifty-seven roots!"

Beiming Lieyang knew that in the original work, there were forty-five roots of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow inside the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave.

But this was ten thousand years ago, and he didn't dare guarantee just how many there would be.

He hadn't stated the exact quantity.

He hadn't expected there to be quite a few more.

Though, thinking about it, when Huo Yuhao came to this Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave in the original work, Ice Emperor had already mentioned that the outside temperature was far from enough to maintain the status quo.

The ice spring had entered a period of decline, and in a few hundred years, the temperature would be unable to sustain the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave, causing everything within to gradually wear away and vanish.

Right now, ten thousand years ago, was its most flourishing era, so having more Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow made complete sense.

However, wouldn't that make things even better?

"Let's gather the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow here first and talk about it when we get back."

Hearing Snow Emperor's words, Ice Emperor nodded.

The two of them walked into the cave, and Ice Emperor reached out first, touching an ice pillar.

A sliver of extremely pure ice-type energy surged into her body along her fingertips, that familiar sensation making her entire body shiver.

The two of them hesitated no longer, beginning to harvest the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow one by one.

Soul power enveloped the base of an ice pillar, and with a gentle snap, a complete piece of mysterious ice marrow detached from the rock wall, carefully sealed away inside a storage soul tool.

One by one, the chill within the cave gradually weakened as the ice pillars vanished individually.

Beiming Lieyang stood inside the barrier, watching their busy backs without making a sound to disturb them.

Fifty-seven roots of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow—even for the Ice and Snow Emperors, this was a massive resource sufficient to cause a qualitative change in their strength.

Before long.

The last root of mysterious ice marrow was taken down by Ice Emperor and carefully placed into her storage soul tool.

The crisscrossing ice pillars that had originally filled the cave had completely disappeared, leaving behind only bare rock walls and residual ice shards. Although the temperature remained extremely low, it was no longer as terrifying as before.

"All collected." Ice Emperor clapped her hands, her eyes filled with satisfaction, "Fifty-seven roots, not a single one missing."

Snow Emperor walked over, glanced inside the storage soul tool, and nodded slightly: "Enough. We'll figure out how to allocate them carefully after we get back."

Ice Emperor scooped up Beiming Lieyang and stuffed him into her arms: "Let's go, let's go home!"

The three of them returned by the original route.

The temperature of the cold spring water, having lost the support of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, began to slowly rise, and that terrifying chill had already receded by more than half.

When they broke through the surface of the water, the snowfield north of the fortress was already shrouded in twilight.

The cold wind still howled, but the hearts of all three of them were warm.

Ice Emperor put Beiming Lieyang down, straightened her damp dress, and checked the mysterious ice marrow inside the storage soul tool once more with her head lowered before finally feeling completely reassured: "Fifty-seven roots of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, plus those Extreme Ice Divine Crystals... This trip was worth it!"

"Hehe, Xiaoyang is truly our lucky star."

Snow Emperor's lips curved slightly, and she reached out to gently brush the water droplets from Beiming Lieyang's tips of hair: "Let's go, we'll talk back at the Ice Crystal Palace."
