Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 81 Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, The Idea of ​​Forging a Divine Artifact

Shortly after entering the pool, Shu Yan sent Xu Jiujiu directly into the undead demiplane, and at the same time sent a telepathic message to Bibi Dong to take care of her. Otherwise, without Shu Yan's protection, the undead creatures in the undead demiplane would not be so easy to talk to when they smelled fresh flesh and blood.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong is now in the undead demiplane, taking the overall situation into account. Although Xu Jiujiu will be suppressed if he enters, at least there won't be any problems in the short term, which is better than following the three of them.

The three of them followed the well water downwards and soon reached the deepest part of the well.

The temperature here is getting colder and colder, but the well water has not frozen. Pure ice-attribute elemental energy flows in the surrounding well water. This ice-attribute elemental energy is attracted by the extreme ice in the three people's bodies and gathers towards this place.

According to Nan Shuishui, the spring is about thirty meters deep, but in reality, the spring is much deeper than thirty meters. Thirty meters is just the limit that she, as a Soul Douluo, can withstand. Below that, even a Title Douluo cannot easily enter.

Once at the right depth, Xue Di used her spiritual power to probe the stone wall for a while and found an inconspicuous mechanism. After opening it, she turned on the switch of another mechanism on the other side. With a muffled sound, a small door that could only fit one person at a time appeared when the three of them looked over.

Surprisingly, after the small door opened, an even more terrifying chill than that inside the icy spring gushed out. The Snow Emperor frowned slightly, then placed another layer of protection on Shu Yan.

This low temperature was nothing to her and the Ice Emperor, but it was indeed quite low for Shu Yan, whose soul power level was only at the Soul King level. Although the low temperature might not have a significant impact or cause much harm to Shu Yan, it was better than nothing. The Snow Emperor was very considerate towards Shu Yan.

Upon entering the cave, the original water flow was blocked by a strange force. Ice Empress excitedly walked at the front, and a green light burst forth from her hand, instantly illuminating the entire cave.

The cave wasn't very large; it was almost entirely composed of ores and crystals. The azure light emanating from Hyotei's hands transformed them from their original sky blue to a more mysterious azure, giving the entire cave an almost dreamlike beauty.

"This is the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal! This is the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal!"

Hyotei leaped up quickly, stroking one of the cave walls and cheering excitedly, his excitement almost solidifying on his face.

Even Xue Di couldn't help but show a look of surprise. She hovered in mid-air, flew around the entire cave once, and then said with a sigh:

"The sheer number of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals that accompany the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Cave here indicates the existence of another Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Cave nearby. Shu Yan, I am very, very pleased with this surprise you have given me..."

Shu Yan also reached out and sensed the walls of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal Cave, which seemed to pulsate with life, then chuckled and said:

"With so many ice crystals and divine crystals growing here, the energy of the crystals must have been dispersed quite a bit. The amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow produced here should not be as much as that of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm encountered in the far north, but the amount is definitely enough to satisfy the three of us. For us, this place is absolutely a treasure trove."

The Snow Empress raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes. The Ice Empress, on the other hand, circled around several times, not hearing a word Shu Yan said.

Given the current situation, Xue Di wasn't in a hurry to ask Shu Yan how he knew all this; there was plenty of time, and there were more important matters to attend to now.

Hyotei then came to their side, licked her lips, and said repeatedly:

"This place is full of accompanying Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, but we haven't found any trace of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. If nothing unexpected happens, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow should be deeper than that well we just left. Shu Yan, Xue'er, what do we do now? Should we go and get those Ice Extreme Divine Crystals directly?"

Xue Di looked at Shu Yan, then said softly:

"Shu Yan, what do you think?"

Shu Yan pondered for a moment, then said:

"No rush. Let's pack all these Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and bring them here first. As the hardest and rarest ice-attribute metal, these Ice Extreme Divine Crystals will be of great help to us. There's no need to rush to get the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. It's better to do it one piece at a time."

Ice Emperor was about to speak, but a look from Snow Emperor almost made him choke. In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly and patiently help Shu Yan put the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals into his possession.

As she used her ultimate ice soul power to collect the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the Snow Empress slowly approached Shu Yan's side. While continuing her work, she softly said:

"What do you plan to do with these Ice Crystals afterward?"

Shu Yan paused in his movements, then chuckled and said:

"These Ice Extreme Crystals are extraordinary. Even the Dark Gold Terrorclaws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear have difficulty destroying them. They can be said to be one of the hardest metals in the world. If I could, I would like to pick them up and forge a real divine weapon..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di was slightly taken aback, but then she continued:

"If possible, I think that's a good idea."

"The reason why the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is called a divine crystal is because it already has a certain life force. This life force is called the Ice Spirit in the far north. If you want to fully utilize the wonders of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, you must express goodwill to the Ice Spirit within it. Only after the two of you have fully communicated can you be said to have completely controlled the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal."

"Unfortunately, the appearance of ice spirits is not inevitable, but extremely rare. In this huge cave, there are probably only a few ice crystals that can produce ice spirits."

Shu Yan nodded. As the two were talking, under the influence of the ultimate ice soul power, another large piece of ice divine crystal fell into Shu Yan's hand and was then stored in his soul tool.

With the three of them using their unique methods to harvest the crystals, in less than half an hour, the entire cave was almost completely stripped of its ice crystals, leaving only a layer of blue ice that resembled ice shards.

The Snow Empress gently stretched out her hand, and a terrifying surge of soul power forced back the water that had rushed into the now-unprotected stone gate. Then she whispered:

"Next, we'll venture deeper into the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Cave. The temperature there will be even more terrifying than here. Without ultimate ice or a powerful ice attribute, even the most elite human Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to stay inside for long. That's the truth, Shu Yan. Although your and my ultimate ice attribute is powerful enough, for safety's sake, let Bing'er and I leave another layer of protection, just in case something unexpected happens... After all, in that environment, any accident could lead to irreversible consequences..."
