Chapter 463: then translation of chapter title

After successfully turning the Blue Silver Emperor into his own spirit, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong had only one thing left to do on this trip.

That was to return to the Extreme North and find the core of the great formation that Ilex said covered the entire Extreme North.

Just the energy accumulated in the formation eyes could nurture a Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow cavern, a treasure land comparable to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells for ice-attribute soul masters and soul beasts; what the formation core might contain is exciting even to imagine a little.

After Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong absorbed their eighth soul ring, their strength again leapt forward; even if there were hidden dangers there, logically, with their strength, escaping would be no problem.

However, before searching for the core, they still decided to first harvest the remaining two formation eyes.

After all, the first two formation eyes had nurtured Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow caverns; normally, these two would be the same.

Such a treasure land of this caliber must not be wasted; it must be properly utilized.

"Is this the place, Old Ilex?"

Tang Wulin crouched on a glacier, lightly tapping the ice beneath his feet, producing a clear sound.

Ilex's apparition floated beside Huo Yutong, nodding affirmatively.

"Yes, probably about a hundred meters deep below here."

"Understood."

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, his right hand turned into a claw, and he struck down with a golden dragon claw.

"Boom——"

With a booming sound, the ice surface he struck began to rapidly crack open.

The shattering effect of his right-hand golden dragon claw.

With Tang Wulin's current strength, breaking open the ice surface is as simple as it gets.

After the vibrations subsided, a pitch-black huge hole appeared before everyone's eyes.

Huo Yutong's eyes flickered, and her mental detection extended down the hole Tang Wulin had smashed.

Soon her eyes lit up; she nodded at Tang Wulin and then leapt down.

Tang Wulin didn't follow her down; given Huo Yutong's current condition, she would likely face no danger, and if he went down, he'd actually need her help to keep warm, which would be counterproductive.

While admiring the snowscape of the Extreme North, Tang Wulin felt a vague unease brewing in his heart.

This was already the last Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow cavern.

The previous formation eye's location was actually in the sea; fortunately, Tang Wulin possessed the Water Dragon King's soul bone and Huo Yutong possessed Li Ya's soul bone, so they weren't afraid of water, easily diving to the seabed and collecting the Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow there.

Possibly because it lies in the deep sea where the water element is strong, the amount of Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow there exceeds that of the Earth Dragon Gate, while the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal quantity is comparatively much less.

I wonder how this place is.

However, according to the Snow Empress, no matter what, just the gains from the first two Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow caverns are enough to condense a second soul core without problem.

About an hour later, Huo Yutong jumped out of the cavern again.

As she approached, Tang Wulin felt the intense chill emanating from her and couldn't help but shiver.

"Ah……"

Huo Yutong keenly noticed this; just as she was about to stop, Tang Wulin casually moved closer, took her icy little hand, and asked:

"How was the harvest this time?"

Huo Yutong squeezed Tang Wulin's warm big hand, a sweet smile curling her lips. She softly said: "This time it's an unexpected joy; according to Tianmeng Elder Sister, this Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow cavern is even larger than the one she encountered back then, and the amount of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is the highest among the four formation eyes."

"That impressive?"

Tang Wulin was quite surprised.

According to Tianmeng, she was able to become a million-year soul beast because she had devoured an entire Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow cavern.

That is to say, the energy in that Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow cavern is at least enough to support her cultivation up to nine hundred thousand years.

The amount of Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow in this cavern now actually exceeds what Tianmeng encountered, and the ice element it contains is likely staggering.

"Hmm."

Huo Yutong lightly nodded and said:

"Even the Snow Empress can't absorb any more at the end; her strength has already returned to the peak of rank ninety-eight. As long as I successfully condense a complementary yin-yang second soul core, she will immediately return to her peak."

"That's great!"

Tang Wulin excitedly hugged her tightly.

This truly is an unexpected joy.

Originally, the Snow Empress, being a spirit, could only exert the strength of an Honored Douluo.

It's not useless, but in Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's current battles, it truly can't help much.

But now it's different; although Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong currently don't use martial soul fusion and are not inferior to Limit Douluo, even for a Limit Douluo, a rank ninety-eight peak powerhouse is not something that can be casually ignored.

Moreover, this is the Snow Empress; her cultivation restored to rank ninety-eight doesn't mean her strength is only that level. Given her mastery and insight into ice and snow power, her combat level very likely has already reached that of a Limit Douluo.

This will be greatly beneficial for the upcoming war.

Moreover, her recovery to this strength also means that other spirits are roughly the same.

Suddenly there are many more helpers; how could Tang Wulin not be happy? Right now, there are still five days before the strong warriors of the original three countries of the Douluo Continent gather to head to the border between the Tian Hun Empire and the Ri Yue Di Guo; even the slightest improvement is necessary at this time.

Huo Yutong lay against Tang Wulin's solid chest, her expression dazed for a moment.

She softly asked: "Wulin, can I take a break before the war starts? I want to spend it with you."

Although they could still meet during this period, they had little communication, leaving her lacking in the Wulin aspect.

Now being held in Tang Wulin's arms, feeling his fervent aura, she rarely made a request of Tang Wulin that, in her view, was somewhat selfish.

Smelling the faint fragrance from Huo Yutong's hair, Tang Wulin smiled gently and held her tighter.

"Of course it's fine; not only before the war, but after it I will always stay by your side."

He will be this busy during this period simply because the performance of the Sea God Pavilion's Senior Elders makes him reluctant to delegate authority, fearing that Shilake Academy might make mistaken decisions during the war.

But after the war it will be different; Tang Wulin is essentially not someone who loves power, and at that time he will gradually delegate authority to suitable people, devoting more time to accompany his beloved.

After all, being buried under a mountain of paperwork, how could it be as pleasant as being with a warm, fragrant, soft-jade girlfriend?

Mm.

Pressing her face against Tang Wulin's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, Huo Yutong smiled happily.
