Chapter 82

After leaving the cave and entering the bone-chilling spring water, Shu Yan nodded to the two, then followed the Snow Empress downward, while the Ice Empress consciously followed at the very end.

The closer to the spring eye, the lower the temperature became. The Snow Empress, walking at the very front, slowly probed her spiritual power into the spring eye. Then, a light flashed in her eyes, and she nodded to the two behind her, entering it first.

After truly entering the spring eye of the cold spring, the temperature plummeted again. A gentle spiritual power came toward Shu Yan and the Ice Empress, and then the Snow Empress's voice rang in their ears: "The depth of this spring eye is a bit beyond imagination. There is at least another fifty meters of depth further down. I can sense the existence of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave below, but the area there is really too small, and the amount of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow it possesses is too much, so the temperature below is almost no different from absolute zero."

"Bing'er, this is what you are good at. Later, you protect Shu Yan a bit. Although he also possesses Extreme Ice to protect his body, his strength and total soul power are ultimately a bit lacking. In that kind of environment, if there is no help from others, he won't be able to hold on for long."

The Ice Empress poked Shu Yan's waist, then nodded, indicating she had no objections.

The Snow Empress nodded, then grabbed Shu Yan and the Ice Empress's wrists, one on each side. A terrifying soul power rose up behind everyone, and the temperature of the extreme cold spring water plummeted again. A series of huge bubbles rose toward the top. Shu Yan frowned slightly; he had to admit that the temperature below was truly a bit beyond imagination.

Under the leadership of the Snow Empress, the speed at which the group descended became faster and faster. Before long, they arrived at a depth of nearly forty meters below the spring eye. At this point, even with Extreme Ice soul power protecting his surface, Shu Yan still felt a bone-chilling cold, and the circulation of soul power in his body seemed to have stagnated a little.

The Ice Empress let go of the Snow Empress's hand and came to Shu Yan's side. Emerald light bloomed, and a film as crystal-clear as crystal covered Shu Yan's body. At the same time, an incomparably pure Extreme Ice soul power came with it. Shu Yan squeezed the Ice Empress's arm and then gave a thumbs up to the other party, but the response he finally got was a white-eyed look from the Ice Empress that was slightly speechless.

The upward cold current became more and more turbulent, but it could no longer cause any impact on the three. The Snow Empress led the way in front, while the Ice Empress followed closely behind with Shu Yan. After the depth approached fifty meters, at a certain moment, a sense of weightlessness suddenly came from the body, and the upward cold current had disappeared, replaced by an extreme low temperature that was theoretically infinitely close to absolute zero.

This seemed to be a cave, and the area of the cave was not large. A strange power isolated the water flow outside. Looking upward, visible cold currents were surging up. Just at this moment, an emerald light lit up again, and the Ice Empress's voice also rang out:

"Hey, Shu Yan, how do you feel?"

Shu Yan moved his body. Although he could still feel a terrifying chill, it was not a big deal for him.

"It's okay. The soul power in my body has started to surge. This extreme chill is very good for me. If I can meditate and cultivate here for a period of time, I think the harvest will definitely not be small."

The Ice Empress hovered in mid-air. She reached out a hand and patted Shu Yan on the shoulder, saying with a smile:

"Not bad. This Empress thought that giving you a layer of protection wouldn't be enough. Now it seems that I underestimated you."

While the two were talking, a gentle ice-blue light lit up again, instantly illuminating the entire cave. At the same time, the Snow Empress said with a sense of emotion: "Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, it is truly a treasure of the world..."

The Ice Empress's gaze turned to the cave not far away. In an instant, she threw Shu Yan to the back of her mind, and the whole person rushed over at an astonishing speed. "It really is Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow! The quantity is actually so large, great, this time we really made a huge profit! Oh yeah!!"

This cave was not high, and Shu Yan's height of nearly 1.9 meters was a bit cramped when standing up. Helpless, he had to bow slightly. The Snow Empress looked at his appearance, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile again, then she said:

"There are about forty-five pieces of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow here, enough for the three of us to complete absorption and breakthrough. You keep a part for yourself, and I will take the rest, how about it?"

Shu Yan, while paying attention to the various protrusions on the cave wall above his head, said: "Okay, although Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is a good thing, the side effects are also very obvious. If you absorb too much, you have to fall into a deep sleep. I don't want to sleep here for hundreds or thousands of years at once; that would really be a disaster."

The Snow Empress smiled lightly and said with some surprise: "You know quite a bit. However, the fact that you are willing to bring us here also means that you completely trust me and Bing'er. You don't have to worry that we will break our oath. During this period of time, she and I have talked about this topic many times, and in the end, she has sort of let it go."

"Just as you said before, even if we can survive one heavenly tribulation after another, even if we become true million-year soul beasts, the precedents of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Di Tian have already been set. Relatively speaking, I still favor you more."

Shu Yan was slightly stunned. After coming back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said softly: "Thank you, Sister Xue..."

The Snow Empress just shook her head, then she looked at Shu Yan, with a serious light flashing in her eyes, and said word by word: "If we really want to talk about it, it is we who should thank you."

Shu Yan did not say anything more. His gaze turned to the Ice Empress who was cheering and jumping in those strange ice pillars, and a touch of excitement also appeared in his eyes.

The Snow Empress followed Shu Yan and took a few steps forward. She touched the strange ice pillar that seemed to have flowing light and color inside, and spoke again: "You start absorbing first. The ice-attribute energy within the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is extremely pure and possesses strong vitality and life aura. You first absorb two pieces to let your soul power break through to level sixty, and then absorb the rest slowly. I will help you seal the parts your body cannot withstand in the short term within your origin, to be used for your future cultivation and even the condensation of soul cores."

Shu Yan nodded and did not refuse. With the help of the Snow Empress, he could indeed absorb the ice-attribute energy that was concentrated to the extreme nearby, which had great benefits for him. Relatively speaking, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow needed by the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress was actually not much; they only needed a portion to help themselves survive the next heavenly tribulation. They would take away the remaining Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow according to what the Snow Empress said just now, which could be considered the best result.

I have something to do tonight, I'm too busy, I haven't been free, there will be another chapter later, I'm rushing to code it, hurry, hurry, hurry.
