Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 139 Everyone Improves Again

Because of the connection between their martial souls, Xiao Fei immediately sensed the change in Shui Bing'er's martial soul. Clearly, Shui Bing'er's mastery of ice attributes had become much stronger.

As the seven emerged from the Xuanbing Cave, the Ice God appeared in the air: "You've done quite well. It seems you've obtained the opportunity you sought within the Xuanbing Cave."

"Next is your practical assessment. This assessment will involve you entering the Ice Prison to obtain Soul Rings, and will last for two months."

"Excuse me, senior, what kind of place is Ice Prison?"

"The Ice Prison is a prison I created 100,000 years ago to detain some of the soul beasts that wreaked havoc in the far north. The six of you will need to work together inside to fight enemies and obtain the corresponding soul rings. I should mention that the soul beasts I imprisoned were extremely powerful and ferocious. If any of them are still alive, you must be extra careful."

The Ice God glanced at Xiao Fei: "As for you, the Ice Prison is no longer suitable for you, and I can no longer give you any opportunities. At the top of the Ice God Palace, there is a Mystic Ice Cliff, which may be of some benefit to you."

Everyone was speechless. A soul beast imprisoned over 100,000 years ago—that's at least 100,000 years old! And it was the powerful and ferocious beast the Ice God had described. It was probably a forbidden zone by now.

The seven then parted ways. Xiao Fei headed towards the Xuanbing Cliff alone, while Shui Bing'er and the other six followed the directions to the so-called Ice Prison.

When Xiao Fei arrived at Xuanbing Cliff, he felt something was off. Xuanbing Cliff was located at the highest point of the Ice God Palace, but unexpectedly, the entire cliff was not covered by ice. From Xuanbing Cliff, one could see the entire Ice God Palace. The Ice God Palace resembled a giant ice phoenix, hovering in the heart of the far north, but something still felt off.

Upon closer inspection, the Ice God Palace, though situated beneath a layer of ice, was completely disconnected from it. It seemed as if some force separated the palace from the ice. This feeling was somewhat similar to when I first entered the City of Slaughter.

Could it be that the entire Ice God Palace isn't on Douluo Star, but exists in the void? But then how can we explain that everyone can enter the Ice God Palace? Thinking of this, Xiao Fei felt a sense of fear. If that's the case, then the god's strength is far more terrifying than he had originally imagined.

Xiao Fei sat quietly at the very edge of the Xuanbing Cliff, sensing the changes in the entire world and feeling the divine aura of the giant ice phoenix on the Ice God Palace.

"Could the Ice Phoenix of this Ice God Palace be real? But its size is terrifying, its length is tens of thousands of meters." Even if Xiao Fei activates his Martial Soul True Body, his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul is only a few hundred meters long, and that's only with the effect of his 100,000-year seventh soul ring and level 99 Limit Douluo.

If the Ice God Palace is this big, then the Fire God Temple, the place where the Fire God inherited his legacy, should be no smaller than the Ice God Palace. But where exactly is it hidden?

That day, when Xiao Fei and Shui Bing'er were using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Ice and Fire Phoenix, Xiao Fei briefly reached the God-level realm. At that time, he felt a slight attraction in the void, but he couldn't find its source.

However, the Ice God must have sent me here for a reason; I must have missed something.

What exactly is it? Xiao Fei was completely baffled. He was even starting to have deep doubts. He continued cultivating while pondering the matter.

These days, Xiaofei often thinks about his past life. The thing he envied most in his past life was not luxury cars and beautiful women, not wealth and glory, nor the admiration of thousands of people, but doing simple and comfortable work like a farmer, working at sunrise and returning home at sunset, having a virtuous wife at home, and holding his wife and children in his arms, living a simple and peaceful life.

I feel like my mindset has been a bit off since I came to Douluo Continent; I lack the courage to face difficulties. I always avoid opponents I can't defeat. Thinking back to Tang San in the original story, he faced countless desperate situations, yet he always seemed undeterred. Even when he encountered Bibi Dong in the Star Dou Great Forest, he fought fiercely, fearless of death.

As time went by, Xiao Fei's understanding deepened, and he began to contemplate his past and present lives from a different perspective. Suddenly, Xiao Fei coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes sharpening: "I almost fell for it! Is this what experiencing the seven emotions and six desires is like? Interesting indeed!"

"But whatever the desire, I will forge ahead and ultimately achieve my goal. Even if there is no way forward, I will fight my way out."

The Ice God suddenly appeared beside Xiao Fei: "You're very good, really very good. Although this isn't a test of divine power involving emotions and desires, it's clear that your mind is already very close to that of a god. I hope you succeed soon."

From this day forward, Xiao Fei's spiritual power has reached the Great Perfection realm, which is equivalent to the God level. This is higher than the realms of Poseidon and Tang San in the original story, since neither of them truly became gods, and Poseidon can only be considered a demigod.

"Senior Ice God, does the Temple of Fire truly exist in this world? Is the Palace of Ice God really located in the far north?"

"As expected, you also realized it. Regardless of whether there is a Fire God Temple or an Ice God Palace, remember what you just realized: forge ahead without hesitation."

Xiao Fei continued to ponder, gazing at the rising sun, his expression suddenly turning grim. Could the Temple of Fire really be in that place? Hopefully not.

Two months passed quickly, and Shui Bing'er and the other six returned from the Ice Prison. Each of them had various wounds, large and small, the most serious of which were deep enough to expose the bone. Niu Meng's hand was even broken, but fortunately it had been reattached and he should recover soon.

After several people explained, they learned that the Ice Prison was not inside the Ice God Palace, but in a huge fault line beneath the Ice God Palace. There were all kinds of soul beasts inside, and they were all imprisoned in the fault line. The fault line was covered with the divine power of the Ice God, making the entire fault line like a huge prison, hence the name Ice Prison.

There are many spirit rings in the Ice Prison that are over 100,000 years old, and many of them are indeed extremely ferocious, so the journey of the six was very dangerous. Fortunately, however, all four of them obtained their desired spirit rings, and all of them were 100,000-year spirit rings.

At this point, Shui Bing'er's soul power reached level 92, Feng Xiaotian also reached level 92, Niu Meng reached an astonishing level 84, and Yang Pojun reached level 82. Xiao Fei couldn't help but wonder, do foodies always have good luck?

Shui Bing'er was the luckiest, hunting down a 100,000-year-old ice-attribute soul beast: the Ancient Ice Phoenix, and obtaining a torso soul bone. Feng Xiaotian hunted a 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Wolf, obtaining a right leg soul bone. Niu Meng hunted a 100,000-year-old Ice Demon Bear, obtaining a 100,000-year-old right leg soul bone. Yang Pojun faced the most difficulties and dangers, his soul ring being a 100,000-year-old Abyss Demon Dragon, and obtaining a 100,000-year-old left leg soul bone.

Next, the Ice God only had to test and train Shui Bing'er, and the test content was simple and straightforward: reach a soul power level of 99, have a full set of soul bones, obtain the divine artifact Frost Blade, and gain the recognition of the Ice God Palace.

Of course, there are several forbidden areas within the Ice God Palace where Shui Bing'er can cultivate.
