"I didn't expect this."
The Snow Empress looked at this cave with complex eyes, countless emotions in her heart. "If I could have encountered this Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave before transforming, encountering these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, I wouldn't have needed to take risks."
"Yes."
The Ice Empress currently also had the same mood.
If back then they could have had these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, it would be enough for them to smoothly pass the next Heavenly Tribulation, and then live another hundred thousand years.
"What's past is past, what's future can still be pursued. Besides, Bing Bing, Snow Empress, if you had encountered this Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow earlier, how could you still encounter the current opportunity? You must know, whether it's Yuhao or this kid Junting, both have the qualifications to become gods. In the future? That's not necessarily something you'll encounter again."
"Big Brother Tian Meng..."
Seeing Tian Meng being so tough for the first time, Huo Yuhao felt a burst of emotion in his heart, but also an unprovoked burst of worry.
He was afraid Big Brother Tian Meng would be "beaten to death" by the Ice Empress. Moreover, the address "Kid Junting"... he felt Big Brother Tian Meng might need to change it, at least not give people a frivolous feeling.
"Tian Meng? When did you guy become so cultured? What 'what's past', what 'what's future'. Who did you learn from?"
The Ice Empress grabbed the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm in one hand, but she obviously wasn't angry. Although just now she looked like she had countless emotions, she also had to admit, what the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm said was not wrong.
Along the way, she could see Yuhao's growth. Not to mention...
The Ice Empress glanced at Chen Junting. This guy was purely a freak! Simply not like a human!
"Alright, Bing'er."
Seeing the Ice Empress's gaze, the Snow Empress could roughly guess what she was thinking, so understandingly interrupted her.
Chen Junting seeing this scene, his smile did not decrease. Obviously, the matters just now were not taken to heart by him.
His more attention was still placed on this entire Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, and these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows before his eyes. This is all good stuff!
"Snow Empress, these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows are handed to you."
"Alright."
The Snow Empress scanned around, slightly estimated the energy contained in these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows in her heart, then secretly transmitted sound to the Ice Empress and others, conversing. Finally, "Junting, the energy of these Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows is not something we can finish absorbing."
However, the actual situation was relying solely on them, the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows could actually be fully absorbed. Even if not, they could also seal a part through respective methods. But if like this, Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress they would occupy the majority. That won't be good! Social niceties and all that, those who understand, understand.
"It's nothing."
Chen Junting shook his head, not caring how they actually discussed, "You just absorb, if you decide not to absorb anymore, hand the remaining Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows to me, it won't be wasted."
"Good."
Hearing Chen Junting speak like this, the Snow Empress also felt relieved. So she signaled the Ice Empress and others together, each employing their methods.
The Snow Empress spread both hands, after grabbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, she sucked circles of blue light into her body, merging with her body.
After absorbing a full thirteen Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, her ten slender jade fingers circled an arc in the air.
Streaks of deep blue light patterns fluctuated and changed in the air, converging into strange runes like snowflakes. It took a full quarter of an hour, those strange runes turned into seven ice flowers.
"Go!"
Under a light shout from the Snow Empress. Seven ice flowers quietly drifted out, landing on one Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow each.
Instantly, seven Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows all lit up. Originally white as jade ice flowers, accompanying the shine of these Profound Ice Marrows, gradually turned deep blue. Every change of that deep blue light and shadow would make its own aura strengthen a bit.
Several minutes later, seven Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows collapsed simultaneously. Seven ice flowers floated up, shrinking in the air, finally turning into an ice flower bracelet, coiling around the Snow Empress's left wrist.
Twenty Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, this was the Snow Empress's result. On the other side, the Ice Empress and they also finished absorbing. Three ice attribute soul spirits, totaling ten. And Huo Yuhao himself absorbed three.
Finally, only twelve Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows remained.
And while the Snow Empress and they were working hard, Chen Junting was not idle either. He closed his eyes and sat quietly, the Eye of Destiny had long opened.
With the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave as the center, the terrain beneath the Earth Dragon Sect in his eyes, everything had no place to hide, no secrets.
Using thought as a pen, and spiritual power and soul power as ink.
Endless array runes had long spread out from beneath Chen Junting. Even though the Earth Dragon Sect's area wasn't considered wide, Chen Junting also had the help of the Eye of Destiny, but Chen Junting still expended great effort, before spreading the array runes he laid out to the earth veins beneath the entire Earth Dragon Sect, encompassing them all.
If someone could observe with the naked eye, they would discover beneath the entire Earth Dragon Sect was full of dense array runes. It's just compared to other locations of the Earth Dragon Sect, that water well in the Earth Dragon Sect backyard, the array runes arranged there were truly many!
Dense and layered, as if there were no gaps.
And an invisible earth vein emitting cold intent was tied up by these array runes. It was precisely because of this earth vein that created beneath the Earth Dragon Sect, such a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave treasure land.
After the Snow Empress and they all finished absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, Chen Junting also opened his eyes at the appropriate time. He looked at the remaining twelve Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, didn't say much, directly made a move.
Big hand clenched, strips of array runes arranged and combined. In less than half a minute, an array had already formed.
"Seal!"
One word lightly spat out, invisible power stripped all the remaining Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows. At the same time, the energy in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave also instantly went towards the array Chen Junting drew.
In less than a minute's time, the cold intent attenuated. And in his hand, appeared a glass sphere.
Seeing Chen Junting had already taken all the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows, the Ice Empress and others also took a last look at this treasure land, feeling regret in their hearts, "This Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave although good, is also a miracle creation of nature, but in the future mostly will cease to exist."
"Ah? Why?"
Huo Yuhao raised his head, asking curiously.
"Because of the earth vein."
Chen Junting's Eye of Destiny slowly closed, "Although this place was created by nature, it was not nurtured out. It was the movement of the earth's crust, causing the complete earth vein to be intercepted."
Saying this, Huo Yuhao understood. "So this is an incomplete earth vein."
"Exactly."
After observing just now, Chen Junting had already seen the clues. Wanting to let the earth vein grow back to complete, able to continue nurturing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and Ice Extreme God Crystal earth vein is unrealistic. But merely as an earth vein retaining terrifying cold intent, it can be relied on array methods to draw upon heaven and earth's creation and retain it.
In other words, this earth vein is very suitable as an array eye.
"Yuhao, you guys go out first."
"Good."
Huo Yuhao hearing this was stunned, then nodded.
He knew, Big Brother Junting doing this meant he had his own plans.
"Junting, what do you plan to do?"
Facing the Snow Empress's question, Chen Junting slowly stood up.
"Move this earth vein away."
Chen Junting's mind moved, and he contacted Mad King.
After learning he had excavated all the Ice Extreme God Crystals, he opened the Undead Demiplane gate on Mad King's side.
After swallowing all the Ice Extreme God Crystals in, he retracted the soul spirit.
The next second, Chen Junting's hands constantly outlined. The laid array runes instantly began to activate, for a time, the cave trembled lightly, then shook, after a while became increasingly violent.
At the water well, Huo Yuhao happened to drill out. Nan Qiuqiu seeing this, just about to ask "why is only he alone", the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and increasingly violently, like a precursor to an earth dragon turning over.
This made Nan Qiuqiu's face instantly change greatly, "Not good!"
Chen Junting hasn't come up yet! If it really is an earthquake, then it's over!
But logically speaking, their Dragon City side for a thousand years has never had an earthquake, how could it suddenly happen!?
However just at this time, "Don't worry."
Huo Yuhao spoke out to comfort Nan Qiuqiu, "This should be Big Brother Junting's handiwork, we just need to wait assuredly now."
"Are you sure?"
"I am very sure."
Under Nan Qiuqiu's half-believing half-doubting, Huo Yuhao actually walked directly to the garden pavilion, calmly sat cross-legged, disregarding the earth's vibration, actually entering cultivation state.
Just right, he planned to borrow this opportunity of Big Brother Junting being busy, digest the gains from just now's Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, improve strength a bit. After all next, they are going to Star Luo...
"White—Tiger—Duke—Mansion!"
At the same time, in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave.
"Come—"
Chen Junting gave a light shout, underground blue light flared.
Like there was a dragon roar sound lacking follow-through or rather extremely weak, faintly transmitted from beneath the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave. Afterwards, beneath the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave cold air constantly rose.
Immediately following, array runes flared. Array, rise!
The next second, all cold air actually flew out from within the earth vein, wandering in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave. In less than a moment's work, cold air became more and more, the earth's vibration became more frequent.
The Snow Empress seeing this scene, brows locked tightly. "Da..."
A slight sound made the Snow Empress directly strike out with one palm.
Because small stones loosened, letting a huge rock instantly press down towards Chen Junting's head, but was directly crushed by the Snow Empress.
But this one stone seemed to become a prelude, next, stones constantly fell, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave also began to collapse.
"Junting, we should go."
Chen Junting did not reply, but the Undead Demiplane gate opened with it. Chen Junting did not hesitate, taking the Snow Empress with him and stepping into it.
At this moment those cold airs also seemed to have an outlet for venting, constantly surging towards the Undead Demiplane gate!
Under the shifting space, Chen Junting and the Snow Empress arrived within the Undead Demiplane. Looking out, this world was bare, no plants existing. The ground was all pitch-black like ink-stained soil. In the sky hung a strange sun. Its entire body was black, with its surroundings emitting a mysterious purple light.
Chen Junting and the the Snow Empress didn't pay attention to these details.
In a flash of gray light, Electrolux appeared. He did not speak, only gratifiedly looking at the scene before his eyes.
Facing the cold air surging over, Chen Junting outlined streaks of array runes, streaks of array runes branded in the void, not dispersing for a long time.
And on the other side of the Undead Demiplane gate, beneath the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave, the array runes tying the earth vein shone brightly, across the Undead Demiplane gate, echoing with the array runes Chen Junting just outlined. For a time, light flared brightly!
The earth moved, the cave collapsed, and beneath the Earth Dragon Sect a huge change occurred.
Nan Qiuqiu could only helplessly organize the sect disciples who were either bewildered or panicked to evacuate to a wide area. Only Huo Yuhao remained alone, sitting in the garden pavilion immovable as a mountain.
Quietly waiting for Big Brother Junting to come out.
