Chapter 167: The Gate Beneath the Iceberg (Thanks to [EOEARTH] for the support)

Ten days of time passed quietly.

Lin Chao's gaze was heavy; at the tip of his finger, a drop of blood abruptly condensed.

This drop of blood was Essence Blood.

Even for Lin Chao, it required ten days of time to condense a single drop.

At this moment, this drop of Essence Blood was exposed to the air, containing terrifying energy.

Such a drop of Essence Blood, if it landed on a Heavenly Venerable, could wipe that Heavenly Venerable out.

This was the terrifying existence of Dragon True Blood.

At this time, Lin Chao stared at this drop of Essence Blood, his gaze deep.

Within that depth, a glimmer of light burst forth.

"This kind of Spirituality..."

He was shocked to perceive in this drop of Essence Blood the same characteristics as the drop of Dragon Blood tested in Jiuzhou back then.

"It is actually possible."

This meant that he could use this drop of Essence Blood to extend Jia Xiangjun's life.

This life extension was the same as when Zimo resurrected Wei An back then.

First, use the Essence Blood to nourish Jia Xiangjun's Spirituality, then let Jia Xiangjun sleep for a thousand years; once the Spirituality was completely replenished, Jia Xiangjun would truly awaken.

"My Essence Blood..."

Countless thoughts arose in Lin Chao's heart.

However, he quickly cast these thoughts aside.

The Dahuang Mountain Range was now in the dead of night, yet it remained brightly lit.

In the past few days, the events that occurred in the Dahuang Mountain Range had caused shocks in many quarters.

More and more researchers had arrived here.

The military guards stationed at the Dahuang Mountain Range had also increased.

At this moment, Jia Xiangjun was distraught and dispirited.

She watched in the video as Heize resurrected, used his Spear to Slay Fang Youcai, and finally his body turned to ash, no longer existing in this world.

An indescribable emotion permeated her heart.

She felt deep remorse for not having looked after Heize well.

Heize had died, and yet still had to suffer such a calamity.

Beside her, Qin Yi let out a sigh: "Zhao Xianmin is already dead, Xiangjun, let this matter pass."

She looked at Jia Xiangjun, her face full of worry.

Originally, neither Jia Xiangjun nor she had much time left to live.

Yet Jia Xiangjun had used the special ability brought to her by the Longevity Pill to cause the culprit Zhao Xianmin to die suddenly.

This undoubtedly worsened Jia Xiangjun's illness and the extent of her aging.

Jia Xiangjun had even less time left to linger in this world.

"But, I still haven't found that Transcendental." Jia Xiangjun's voice was hoarse.

At this time, she was white-haired and withered with age, yet her voice was firm, carrying a trace of killing intent.

"We... might not be a match for that Transcendental." Qin Yi let out a long sigh.

She felt that her thousand years of life had been lived in vain.

The events that occurred this month exceeded everything she had experienced over the past millennium.

Heize, Flying Sword, dragon roars, Transcendental... and many other incidents were all baffling and mysterious.

"But, was Heize's corpse just destroyed like that?" Jia Xiangjun's voice choked, aggrieved like a child.

She blamed herself deeply.

She had not stayed in the Dahuang Mountain Range, had not stayed by Heize's side.

"Sigh." Qin Yi could only sigh, finally stumbling away.

In the simple room, only Jia Xiangjun remained.

Jia Xiangjun clutched a clump of soil in her hand, silent for a long time.

This clump of soil was the soil from around Heize's corpse.

Unfortunately, Heize was no longer there.

Holding the soil, Jia Xiangjun thought back to her youth again.

Whether it was because her lifespan was nearly exhausted or because of the stimulation from the events at the Dahuang Mountain Range, she now always thought of Heize and dreamed of Heize at the slightest provocation.

Holding the soil, Jia Xiangjun fell into a deep sleep.

Just at this moment, the God Position Spear suddenly appeared out of thin air in Jia Xiangjun's room.

Lin Chao knew that, at this time, Jia Xiangjun likely did not want anyone to see her withered and aged appearance.

Therefore, he did not come in person, but instead let the God Position Spear come.

Just at this moment, Jia Xiangjun seemed to sense something: "Heize..."

She called out, waking up from her dream with a start.

Looking around, she did not see anyone.

Suddenly, her gaze froze.

She stared blankly at that familiar God Position Spear in front of her, her eyes instantly moistening.

Her hand quickly covered her face, wanting to speak, but she could not say a word.

She did not weep, yet she could no longer make a sound.

"Heize..."

Clang.

The God Position Spear let out a ringing sound.

At this moment, however, the God Position Spear began to move.

The Spear moved slowly, and a line of handwriting appeared before Jia Xiangjun.

"Can you trust me?"

Jia Xiangjun looked at these words, and countless complex emotions surged into her heart.

This handwriting was Heize's!

"Mm." Jia Xiangjun nodded repeatedly, fearing her meaning might be misinterpreted.

The God Position Spear moved again, and a new line of text slowly appeared.

"Next, you may fall into a deep sleep..."

Before the words were even finished, Jia Xiangjun replied, "Okay."

Regarding Heize, she was like a love-struck young girl, without any wariness.

"No matter what I do to you, do not resist."

New handwriting appeared.

A look of relief appeared on Jia Xiangjun's face.

For the first time in a thousand years, she was this happy.

At this moment, a drop of Dragon Blood appeared abruptly, and Jia Xiangjun's consciousness faded away in that instant.

Lin Chao's figure appeared in the room; he held Jia Xiangjun in his arms, his gaze complex and tinged with a hint of tenderness.

"Merge."

The Essence Blood landed between Jia Xiangjun's brows and dissolved into her body.

A surging aura began to permeate the air at this moment.

Half an hour later, Lin Chao took a deep breath.

Jia Xiangjun's weak Spirituality seemed to have been nourished, and it began to recover slowly.

"Now, I need to go to the Extreme North."

Jia Xiangjun's current condition was not yet very stable.

To maintain it, it would be best to go to a place of extreme cold and use the frigid air there to seal her in ice.

Only in this way could she be sustained for a thousand years.

Of course, other methods could be chosen, but at this time, this was the most effective one.

Lin Chao held Jia Xiangjun, his gaze passing through the wall to see Qin Yi.

He hesitated slightly, then withdrew his gaze.

Lin Chao glanced at the Dahuang Mountain Range, remembered when he was Heize and had Slayed tens of thousands of elite Wolf Guard alone, and let out a sigh.

He carried Jia Xiangjun, moving at a pace that was not very fast.

Yet, the many people and advanced instruments in the Dahuang Mountain Range did not discover him and Jia Xiangjun at all.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Chao held Jia Xiangjun and his figure soared into the air.

The Extreme North was a land of ice and snow, filled everywhere with ice, snow, and cold winds.

The temperature here could reach minus fifty degrees, making it completely unsuitable for human survival.

If an Ordinary person suddenly appeared here, freezing to death would almost certainly be their only outcome.

At this moment, Lin Chao held Jia Xiangjun and appeared in this land of ice and snow.

Ahead, groups of penguins appeared, letting out cries.

This Extreme North was different from Lin Chao's past life, so the appearance of penguins was not surprising.

Moreover, the penguins that appeared here were not the same species as those from his past life.

Lin Chao glanced at the penguins, his powerful Divine Soul sweeping across them.

He was searching for the place of greatest cold.

The colder the place, the better the effect might be.

Soon, Lin Chao held Jia Xiangjun, his figure flashed, and he appeared atop an iceberg.

"Strange, this is not the furthest north, and the temperature is not the lowest, yet the frigid air is the most intense."

The most intense frigid air was naturally what Lin Chao needed.

Lin Chao pointed his finger, and a tunnel appeared abruptly ahead.

Lin Chao sensed that the frigid air inside was even more intense.

Thus, he carried Jia Xiangjun and walked deep into the iceberg.

Suddenly, Lin Chao stopped his steps.

"This is..."

He suddenly discovered that beneath the ice and snow ahead, there was a broken Ice Coffin.

This Ice Coffin looked very far from Ordinary.

Even with Lin Chao's knowledge, he could not discern what material this Ice Coffin was made of.

Lin Chao looked at this broken Ice Coffin, frowning: "Could it be that the source of the powerful frigid air I sensed comes from this Ice Coffin?"

Lin Chao stopped, waved his hand, and the Ice Coffin appeared before him.

It was pure and flawless, looking like a spiritual treasure of the immortals.

"This..."

Lin Chao frowned.

He carefully explored this Ice Coffin and discovered no danger.

However, this Ice Coffin was clearly extraordinary.

"Putting Xiangjun inside is certainly feasible."

Originally, Lin Chao would have needed to use extreme cold Qi to condense an ice coffin to freeze Jia Xiangjun inside.

Now that there was an Ice Coffin here, it saved Lin Chao the step of condensing extreme cold Qi.

This Ice Coffin was a perfect fit.

It was just its origin...

Lin Chao's gaze was profound; he added several layers of protection to Jia Xiangjun and placed her into the Ice Coffin.

Just then, Lin Chao's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

He was shocked to perceive an even colder aura permeating from ahead.

His eyes pierced through the ice and snow, seeing into the depths of the ice mountain.

A bronze gate appeared in his sight.

"What is this?"

Carrying the Ice Coffin, Lin Chao appeared before the bronze gate.

The bronze gate was tightly shut, covered in rust, ancient and profound, as if it had experienced endless vicissitudes of life.

Lin Chao placed his hand on the bronze gate and pushed with force.

However, this strength, enough to topple a mountain, could not push this gate open.

Lin Chao was stunned.

"What on earth is..."

Lin Chao's Divine Soul swept over it repeatedly, and finally, his gaze landed on a stone tablet beside the bronze gate.

On the stone tablet were carved several Daxia characters.

"Ten Fiends Gate!"
