The Cold Spring was very deep; the two of them circulated soul power and sank downward.
The further down they went, the lower the temperature and the darker the light became; there were even strong cold currents surging upward, but they were all resisted by Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao.
Soon, under the perception of their spiritual power, the two discovered they were gradually reaching the bottom. Directly below there was a spring eye, about the same size as the well mouth, enough for one person to pass through.
"Such a low temperature."
The Snow Empress gazed downward, and a cold voice sounded. "This spring eye is actually comparable to the Cold Extreme Ice Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; it is undoubtedly related to Extreme Ice. It seems you guessed correctly."
In her tone, there seemed to be a trace of helplessness revealed.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's brow center was also shining brightly.
The next second, the Ice Empress soul spirit suddenly drilled out from Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, followed closely by the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm.
"Xue'er."
The Ice Empress called out lightly, then said, "I didn't expect there would be such a large ice attribute place of creation here."
"Nature is miraculous."
Chen Junting arrived at a position about twenty-five meters down, feeling along the walls while sighing, "Nature creates earth veins, and earth veins derive treasure lands; these are all nature's uncanny workmanship."
Feeling the surrounding cave walls were cold and slippery, cold intent emerging, the touch felt like Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice. Huo Yuhao seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to help, searching together for the traces of the cave.
Even the Snow Empress and Ice Empress seeing this, also joined in hands.
Only the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm put on a thoughtful expression, then stayed to the side doing nothing, only mumbling continuously in his mouth: "Why do I feel this aura is somewhat familiar?"
As a result, the next second, "Ah—, Bing Bing!"
A scorpion tail struck the water coming over, whipping him into a stumble.
"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and help!"
"Eh, coming, coming."
Soon, Chen Junting perceived a stone wall was abnormal.
"Found it."
Instantly, the remaining people (beasts) instantly looked over.
"I didn't expect they would actually install a Dragon-Breaking Stone."
The Dragon-Breaking Stone is mostly used as a protective wall for tombs, weighing up to ten thousand pounds.
The Earth Dragon Sect's mechanism used it, but compared to ordinary Dragon-Breaking Stones, this one installed by the Earth Dragon Sect left a life gate.
Chen Junting grabbed the protrusion and pulled upward with force.
Then... there was no movement.
"Look around, there should be some mechanism nearby."
The voice had just fallen, "Found it."
The Tian Meng Ice Silkworm's slightly proud voice sounded, "See, still have to rely on brother, right. There's a small dent here, definitely a problem."
"Go aside."
"Ahhh—"
The Ice Empress pushed aside the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm and directly pressed the dent.
Accompanied by the faintly sounding "click click" sounds, Chen Junting continued to press that protrusion down until it was completely fitted with the stone wall.
The next second, the entire stone wall began to tremble slightly.
The Dragon-Breaking Stone that could only accommodate one person to drill through quietly rose. At the same time, a large amount of cold current surged out from inside the Dragon-Breaking Stone; even Chen Junting who had the Snow Empress's protection, even Huo Yuhao who had the Extreme Ice Martial Soul, both felt a cold intent penetrating into the bones.
Chen Junting took the lead and drilled into it.
Huo Yuhao seeing this, also hurriedly followed in.
The moment the two stepped into the cave, that Dragon-Breaking Stone seemed to produce a strange power, completely blocking the cold intent from outside, and actually dried all the wet parts on their bodies, making the two of them instantly become dry.
However, along with it were also streams of cold current.
Carrying visible ice elements impacting Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao's bodies. Unfortunately, it could not cause them any harm, instead it was entirely absorbed by the two's soul bones or martial souls.
Looking over this pitch-black cave, Chen Junting took out a soul tool lamp that could resist the severe cold, turned it on, and illuminated the entire cave brightly. Instantly, under the illumination of the light, a kind of nearly hallucinatory beauty was produced within this cave.
In an instant, the scene before their eyes stunned the two people and three beasts.
The entire cave was completely composed of various deep blue crystals. These crystals were crystal clear, under the illumination of the light, filled with dreamlike beauty, as if placing oneself in a fairyland.
The cave's ground, walls, and top were all this kind of crystal, some large some small, not the same, flowing with light and color. The soul tool light's glow of varying depths shone making every detail within the cave clearly visible.
"Junting, it is indeed as you expected."
The Snow Empress's praise, in the next second, was instantly overwhelmed by the Ice Empress's excited and high-pitched voice, "Snow Empress! This is the legendary Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave! How is this possible? How could there be a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave here? Oh heavens! This is simply too incredible!"
The Snow Empress shook her head, extending her slender jade hand. The cold current within the cave instantly converged towards her, rotating around her.
At the same time, the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm's voice also sounded.
"Bing Bing, this is not the true Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave."
The negative words did not bring the Ice Empress's anger, instead woke her up, "Right. You, who lived in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave for so long back then, ate so much Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, absolutely would not mistake it. But since this place is filled with the Ice Extreme God Crystals accompanying the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, and so many of them, it means nearby there must be a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave existing. How, in your human world…"
Ice Empress's voice gradually trailed off.
Because she remembered what Chen Junting had just said. All of this was nature's gift, and also nature's uncanny workmanship, unrelated to whether it was the human world or the soul beast world.
"Let's go."
The Snow Empress floated down lightly, allowing the cold current to turn into white gauze wrapping her body, "The true Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave should be within that Cold Spring."
"As for these Ice Extreme God Crystals…"
"Don't worry about this."
Chen Junting's mind moved, and Mad King appeared at his side.
Fortunately, as a soul spirit, it could withstand this cold intent.
"Buddy, these metal veins are handed to you."
The two shared minds; what Chen Junting wanted to do, Mad King already understood.
So after nodding, under the Extreme Ice soul power attached by the Snow Empress, he directly revealed his proud Dark Golden Terror Claws and began constantly excavating within the cave.
Huff huff...
In just a few seconds' time, more than half was excavated.
As for Chen Junting and the others, they returned outside the cave, and under the protection of the Snow Empress and the others, headed straight down towards the spring eye.
Under the oppression of terrifying cold intent, thanks to the protection of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao finally arrived at the small cave deep within the Cold Spring.
The cave before their eyes had an area of only ten square meters, and the height was less than one meter fifty.
But within this cave, every single strange and pure white ice pillar, and the liquid faintly flowing within them, were undoubtedly telling their identity—Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
And this was precisely the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave.
The treasure land that all ice attribute soul beasts dreamed of.
