Chapter 176 - Chapter 176 Ice God Palace

After discovering the aura beneath the Extreme Pool that was enough to make him shudder, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly accelerated.However, the deeper he went, the clearer that aura became, and the more it unsettled him.That aura was not the spiritual resonance emitted by some Heaven And Earth Treasure, but a terrifying aura that seemed to tower above everything in the world!Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's figure suddenly froze.He hovered in the gloomy pool water, where the surrounding temperature had dropped to a level sufficient to freeze a Soul. The cold pool water had become nearly pitch black here, with only a faint, indistinct glimmer showing from below.That light presented a strange ice-blue color, not like the milky-white luster of ten thousand year profound ice marrow, but more like... a ghostly light reflected in the pupils of some creature."Not right..."Tianmeng Ice Silkworm whispered, his tone carrying a rare trace of hesitation.He possessed a million years of cultivation; although this cultivation was basically achieved by eating and sleeping, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had still experienced many things and had seen many even more powerful existences.But at this moment, the aura coming from the bottom of the pool made him instinctively want to flee.That was a warning sign carved deep into the depths of his Soul.It was an even purer and more direct fear than when he first faced the Ice Emperor, the natural predator of the Ice Silkworm clan."What on earth is that..."Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gritted his teeth, suppressed the unease in his heart, and continued to dive slowly.He dared not go too fast, nor did he dare to make any sound. He even carefully concealed his own aura.Four zhang.Five zhang.At this depth, the color of the pool water had turned completely pitch black. But Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's vision had actually become clearer—because that ice-blue ghostly light below was gradually spreading.Finally, at a depth approaching six zhang, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm saw the full picture of the pool bottom.His pupils suddenly contracted.The bottom of the Extreme Pool was not the natural rock layer he had imagined, but a flat, smooth ground. The ground was paved with some material he had never seen before, presenting a deep ice-blue color, with faint light patterns flowing on its surface.And right in the center of that ground, there stood... a palace!?A palace!?At the very bottom of this pool, there was actually a palace!?The ghostly light he had seen just now was emitted from the roof of this palace.The palace was not large, covering only a little over ten zhang in area. It was cast entirely from that ice-blue material, seamless and integrated, showing no traces of joints. The palace doors were tightly closed, and something seemed to be embedded on the lintel, resembling a scepter, emitting a desolate and ancient aura.Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's gaze fell upon the doors, and he could no longer look away.His spirit began to surge uncontrollably, and countless fragmented images suddenly emerged in his mind. These images seemed to jointly construct a vague yet gradually clarifying figure!A God!Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could not confirm the true identity of this figure, this thought uncontrollably drilled into his mind.That figure, that image, was definitely a God!In that case... this was not a place of some supreme treasure, but a God's palace! It might even be a place of a God's Legacy!Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's breathing suddenly became rapid.What was his purpose in choosing Huo Yuhao? Wasn't it just to be able to cultivate a God, and for himself to follow Huo Yuhao to become a God in the unique form of a wisdom spirit ring, achieving eternal life after Ascension to the God Realm?And now, a God's Legacy site was placed right in front of him!Go back... patiently wait for Huo Yuhao's Meridians to finish repairing, wait for Huo Yuhao to wake up... and then tell Yuhao about this palace, in every detail!This pool water and the ten thousand year profound ice marrow were enough to allow Huo Yuhao to undergo Rebirth through ice, and at the same time, it could re-evolve and reshape his originally useless second spirit.By then, with his help, Huo Yuhao would definitely be able to successfully accept this God's Legacy!A look of wild joy appeared in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes, and he hurriedly floated towards the direction of the Extreme Pool.Meanwhile, Ao Yao had already followed the Snow Empress and the Ice Emperor to the core area of the Extreme North Land.Ao Yao had been persistently writing his diary during this period, and his current spirit power had even broken through to level seventy. Therefore, although the temperature in the core circle of the Extreme North Land was a bit low, Ao Yao could still accept it and would not be frozen into a grandson like Huo Yuhao.Following behind the Snow Empress and the Ice Emperor, Ao Yao also experienced what it meant to "borrow the tiger's might"—the Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North Land dared not approach him at all, much less show any hostility.Even the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai and the Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai were the same.Although they didn't know why the Snow Empress and the Ice Emperor brought a human back after leaving for a trip, since it was the Snow Empress's instruction, Xiao Bai and A-Tai naturally wouldn't say anything more. However, the attitudes of the two great Spirit Beasts were somewhat different—Xiao Bai mostly looked at him with a pair of eyes full of curiosity, occasionally stretching out his palm to gesture, as if saying that Ao Yao was simply too small.And A-Tai was mostly hostile."Bing'er, don't worry. I have already mobilized all the high-level Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land, asking them to search for traces of the eternal frost scepter. If there is any news, they will definitely come back to tell us immediately.""With so many high-level Spirit Beasts mobilized together, I suppose we won't have to wait too long to receive news."Watching the Ice Emperor pacing back and forth in the Ice and Snow Palace, the Snow Empress couldn't help but gently comfort her.At Ao Yao's request, even after returning to the Extreme North Land, the Ice Emperor did not change back to her original form, still maintaining her human form. Her pair of fair, tender, and pure feet stepped on the cold ice, looking exceptionally conspicuous.It was just that the Ice Emperor was obviously a bit anxious at this moment, her pair of small feet stepping on the cold ice and pacing back and forth, making a "patta patta" sound."This concerns the Ice God Legacy, Xue'er, how could I not be anxious!"The Ice Emperor sighed softly, while looking up at Ao Yao on the side.In the past few days, Ao Yao had fulfilled his promise, often mentioning the Snow Empress in his diary, but unfortunately, his luck was always just a little bit off. Xue'er did not receive the reward for overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation because of this, but instead, she had obtained many miscellaneous and useless rewards.Coupled with the fact that there had been no news about the eternal frost scepter, it was very difficult for the Ice Emperor to remain calm.Just then, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai suddenly walked in from outside the Ice and Snow Palace, his huge body swaying with every step: "Godmother, Godmother, the Ice Extreme Fox King is here. He said he has clues about that... what was it... the eternal frost scepter!"Hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Emperor looked at each other and instantly said excitedly: "Quick! Let the Ice Extreme Fox King in!"
