Free Web NovelChapter 128: Chapter 127: Ice Element Spiritual Object
Fifty days had passed since the trial began. The group had already split up, entering the vast Snowfield to search separately.
However, no one had yet been able to find any trace of the Ninth Palace.
On this day, Qin Feng appeared at the mouth of a glacier. It was an immense glacier, like an Ice Dragon stretching between heaven and earth, sprawling in all directions with clouds swirling around its peak.
Qin Feng hadn’t come to this glacier by chance; from a great distance, he had felt an unusual pull.
Dozens of miles away, Qin Feng had sensed an unusual fluctuation of Spiritual Qi from within the massive glacier.
’Is this the fluctuation of a Water Attribute Spiritual Object?’ Standing outside the glacier, Qin Feng’s expression was strange. Within his Spirit Platform, a Demon Map was stirring restlessly.
If Qin Feng hadn’t forcibly suppressed it with his Spiritual Power, the Abyssal Demon Map would have practically flown out of his Spirit Platform and rushed into the massive glacier before him.
Qin Feng clearly sensed a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Qi within the glacier that was attracting the Abyssal Demon Map.
This wisp of Spiritual Qi was like a flame in the darkness, incredibly conspicuous!
Halting at the edge of the glacier, his expression one of astonishment, Qin Feng’s eyes burned with fervor as he thought to himself, ’Born from the glacier, a creation of ice... It looks like there must be an Ice Attribute Spiritual Object inside. Is this truly a godsent opportunity?’
This was the second Spiritual Object Qin Feng had found since arriving in the Snowfield.
Qin Feng’s figure flickered, cutting through the wind and snow. Before long, he appeared at a low-lying opening in the glacier.
GURGLE! Not far ahead, he looked up to see an ice cave. Surprisingly, a small, unfrozen river was flowing from within it.
For a river to remain unfrozen in this extreme cold was astonishing. Qin Feng took a few steps forward and reached out a hand to test it. The moment his finger touched the water, he snatched it back as if struck by lightning.
’So cold!’
A bone-chilling coldness traveled up his finger and deep into his body, feeling as if it would freeze all his internal organs.
HISS!
A wisp of frigid air shot up his arm. A layer of frost formed on Qin Feng’s brows, and soon his entire body was encased in a layer of ice.
His Innate Primordial True Qi circulated rapidly for a full ten Great Cycles of Heaven. With a CRACK, the solid ice shattered.
"So cold!" Qin Feng opened his eyes and shivered. A hint of shock appeared in his gaze. The water in this river was no ordinary water; it was Cold Soul True Water.
Cold Soul True Water was an extremely potent True Water evolved from Ice Soul True Water, one of the Nine Great Innate True Waters. It was of the Supreme Yin and utmost cold; the slightest trace could freeze one’s internal organs, or even their very soul.
The river before him contained a trace of the Cold Soul True Water’s power, which was precisely why it hadn’t frozen over.
’That was close. Thankfully, it was just a trace of Cold Soul True Water, diluted countless times!’ Qin Feng was inwardly shocked. ’What kind of Spiritual Object is in there to have created a treasured river containing Cold Soul True Water?! If any Martial Artists who practice Ice Attribute Techniques discovered this place, they’d probably go mad! They might even fight to the death for it, not caring if they destroyed this Snowfield Glacier in the process!’
Cold Soul True Water was an exceptionally rare Water Attribute Spiritual Object. It offered incredible benefits to Martial Artists who cultivated Ice Attribute Techniques.
The value of Cold Soul True Water to an Ice Attribute Martial Artist was comparable to the value of a Spirit Fire to a Fire Attribute Martial Artist.
If one absorbed and refined even a single trace of Cold Soul True Water, their Innate Ice Attribute True Qi would undergo a qualitative transformation, allowing them to freeze all creation with a wave of their hand.
Its power would increase by more than tenfold.
Moreover, it was an extremely powerful aid for breaking through to the Condensing Vein Realm.
At auctions, a small vial of this substance would often fetch a sky-high price!
’Judging by the scale of this river, there must be a High-Grade Spiritual Object in this glacier that’s producing the Cold Soul True Water. I’d like to see what kind of treasure is hidden in there! Still, there aren’t many Ice Attribute treasures capable of producing a Spiritual Object like Cold Soul True Water. Could it be a Cold Soul Ice Lotus, or perhaps the Ten Thousand Years Cold Soul Elite?’ Qin Feng speculated, his eyes calm and glinting with wisdom.
Spiritual Objects were divided into the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Four Tiers. Generally, Yellow Tier Spiritual Objects were called Low-Tier, and Xuan Tier Spiritual Objects were called Middle-Tier.
Only Earth-tier Spiritual Objects were referred to as High-Grade Spiritual Objects.
Both the Cold Soul Ice Lotus and the Ten Thousand Years Cold Soul Elite were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that ranked extremely high among Earth-tier Spiritual Objects.
Qin Feng continued forward. Ahead was a pitch-black ice cave, the very source from which the Cold Soul True Water flowed.
’This is it!’
Qin Feng had a gut feeling that the Spiritual Object was at the source of this Cold Soul True Water river.
A glint flashed in his eyes. Qin Feng leaped, his toes tapping the river’s surface. He used his Ocean Control Ability to command the water beneath him, and in an instant, a great wave surged up, carrying him upstream into the cave.
About fifteen minutes after Qin Feng disappeared into the depths of the ice cave, a white figure suddenly flew in from the distance, landing outside the cave entrance in an instant.
It was a young man holding a map, which he was using to compare with the surroundings.
"This is the place! The Ninth Palace should be right here!" The young man looked around, comparing the terrain to his map, and after a moment, he cried out in an excited whisper. freeweɓnovel.cøm
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
At that moment, several figures flew in from the distance. Xiao Yuchan was in the lead, his white robes flowing like a startled swan, looking exceptionally refined and elegant. Following behind him were several young prodigies at the Late Stage of Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven.
Among them was the same gray-robed youth who had been forced by Qin Feng to seek refuge with Xiao Yuchan.
The white-robed youth suppressed his excitement and said respectfully to Xiao Yuchan, "Brother Xiao, according to the map, the Ninth Palace should be inside this glacier right in front of us!"
"We finally found the Ninth Palace!" Hearing the white-robed youth’s words, the other young men behind Xiao Yuchan began to laugh.
"It seems Brother Xiao’s skills are superior after all!"
"The Ninth Palace is right before our eyes. We’ve seized the initiative this time!"
"Huh? There’s a river here?" one of the youths at the Late Stage of Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven noticed something was off and suddenly cried out.
An unfrozen river in such cold weather was indeed eye-catching.
The youth bent down and reached a hand toward the river’s surface.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuchan’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! It’s dangerous!"
But it was too late. A flicker of terror crossed the youth’s eyes as an extreme cold power traveled from the water’s surface, enveloped him, and instantly turned him into a block of ice.
A flash of annoyance crossed Xiao Yuchan’s eyes. He hooked his foot around the youth’s forward-tilting, frozen form, preventing him from falling into the icy river. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
However, what neither Xiao Yuchan nor Qin Feng knew was that at this very moment, deep within the glacier, another person was heading inside.
Clad in green with black hair and crimson eyes like an evil ghost, Zhao Mingcheng scanned his surroundings and muttered to himself, "If I recall correctly, my manor from ten thousand years ago should be right here. That treasure has been sitting in the manor all this time; no one should have taken it. If I can find it, this body’s Cultivation can immediately be restored to the Condensing Vein Realm, and I might even be able to condense the unique Bingpo True Body!"
