Landing within the icy lake, they could clearly feel a bone-piercing chill assaulting their entire bodies.
However, as compared to the terror of the Ice Pith Vein earlier, it was still inferior.
As Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu dove downwards, the aura-qi around Yan Zhaoge's body fluctuated, vaguely resonating with the restrictions of the icy lake.
Numerous white rings of light expanded within the lake, surging unceasingly.
Streams of cold qi surged from within the white light, freezing the lake water in its depths, causing the white light to gradually take tangible form.
Amidst the surging undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, a simple, unadorned, majestic ice palace appeared out of nowhere, looking rather majestic.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
The sound of entering the water resounded from behind as the Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners had already caught up.
The face of that Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster who had been obstructed by the pillar of the Divine Palace earlier was livid as he took the lead.
Before he had even entered the water, violent attacks had already first arrived in pursuit of Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu.
A terrifying thunder dragon rushed into the water, roaring as countless arcs of electricity expanded within the icy lake, resembling a net as they spread out in all directions.
Trillions of leaping snakes of electricity traversed the water, chasing after Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu.
The violent arcs of thunder exploded unceasingly within the water, even generating high temperatures as the cold qi within the icy lake was no longer as dense as before.
This Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster himself also entered the water, a mid-grade spirit artifact sabre in his hands rampaging as violent thunderbolts came one after another, resembling a torrential storm as they hacked down towards Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu.
As the thunder rampaged, the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners who had entered the icy lake in pursuit all felt their bodies slightly numb.
Yan Zhaoge didn't even look back, the miraculous Immortal Crane Wings able to accelerate even within the water as he shot towards the ice palace at the bottom of the lake at his greatest speed.
When he and Ah Hu landed near the ice palace, numerous white patterns of light flickered on its surface, forming a barrier which instantly blocked the pursuing thunder light.
Yan Zhaoge came before the great door of the ice palace, pressing his palm on its surface, his aura-qi infusing within.
On the great door, where Yan Zhaoge's palm was pressed, with his palm as the centre, a four-pronged pattern of around a metre instantly appeared.
As the pattern flickered, Yan Zhaoge's entire person seemed about to merge within the cold ice, gradually beginning to disappear.
The pursuing Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners were all greatly anxious. That Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster went all out, chopping towards Yan Zhaoge with his sabre.
However, the white light patterns around the Ice Palace shook with a loud rumble, like a giant beast that had been enraged from its slumber. After blocking the lightning blade light, it set off a rolling cold wave and counterattacked.
This Heavenly Thunder Hall Elder immediately felt that he was unable to withstand it as he could only helplessly retreat.
However, as the cold wave swept across, the entire lake seemed to be on the verge of freezing into ice.
As the ice and snow spread, the Heavenly Thunder Hall Elder did not dare to hesitate in the slightest as he roared loudly, dropping his mid-grade spirit artifact sabre, making use of his instantaneous explosive force to break free of the bindings of the ice and snow. Only then did he make use of this chance to charge out of the surface of the ice lake, not being completely sealed within.
Meanwhile, the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners were all scrambling to escape from the ice lake at this time, only hating their parents for giving them two legs as they ran too slowly.
Being at the bottom of the lake, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu were not affected in the least. Yan Zhaoge pressed his palm on the great door of the ice palace, his figure gradually merging within.
He brought Ahu into the Ice Palace with him.
After entering the Ice Palace, Yan Zhaoge did not immediately advance, instead halting as he first carefully observed his surroundings.
The Ice Palace was tall, its overall architectural style also appearing broad and broad. On the walls, there was a lifelike coiling dragon sculpture.
Carefully looking at the ice dragon sculpture, Yan Zhaoge's eyes gradually narrowed into slits, "Genuine dragon qi; the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint's rise to prominence, other than the legacies of before the Great Calamity, is indeed inseparable from the dragon race."
Appraising the Ice Palace, feeling the spiritual qi flow within, Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "This is not the burial ground of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint, but more like his old residence."
Ah Hu asked, "Young Master, the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint should be one of the earliest Martial Saints of the Eight Extremities World after the Great Calamity, when the martial dao was reestablished, right?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right, a person of the same era as our clan's founder, the Heaven Opening Old Man, and one of the first batch of Martial Saint experts of the Eight Extremities World after the Great Calamity."
"It's just that he was not like our clan's founder, the Heaven Opening Old Man, who established a new foundation for the martial dao of the Eight Extremities World."
"The Glacial Dragon Martial Saint was used to being a loner, seldom interacting with others of the world, also not leaving behind any martial legacies. His life and death are a mystery, his whereabouts a mystery as he appeared briefly in history."
"However, this cannot obscure his legend. In the Eight Extremities World of after the Great Calamity, he was indeed a top figure."
Crossing his hands before his chest, Yan Zhaoge looked at the Ice Palace before him, "It is precisely because there are too many mysteries that many people are instead concerned about his whereabouts, wondering what exactly this Martial Saint expert has gone to do."
"Sadly, the clues he left behind were too few. It was only in recent years that some traces could be traced."
As Yan Zhaoge said this, the information he had previously obtained surfaced within his mind once more, "Myriad stars converge, Dragons enter the sea, Desolate ancient cold abyss, Reverse scale shocks moon …"
"This person's whereabouts might be related to even more things."
Ceasing his thoughts, Yan Zhaoge strode forward, "Let's go. Let us see if there are any valuable things left behind in the old residence of this veteran Martial Saint."
Advancing forward, traversing numerous layers of ice and snow, Yan Zhaoge and Ah Sha arrived at the centre of the Ice Palace.
Just having entered, roiling cold qi assaulted their faces.
Gazing over carefully, Yan Zhaoge saw a thick ice pillar standing at the centre of the palace, seemingly supporting it.
Seeing the appearance of the ice pillar clearly, Yan Zhaoge's pupils instantly dilated.
The ice pillar was transparent, a massive black shadow sealed within.
It was, shockingly, the corpse of a dragon!
It was not the skeleton of an ice dragon that had been discovered in the Eastern Tang's Luliao Mountain Range long ago. Instead, it was the complete corpse of a true dragon.
Dragon claws, dragon scales, dragon whiskers, dragon tail … everything was present.
Other than being lifeless, everything else was complete. Sealed within the ice pillar, it seemed as though it had only fallen into a deep slumber, looking extremely lifelike.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "What a fella. Just this thing alone makes this trip not a waste."
Ah Hu drooled as he looked at it, "Young Master, it's a real fella ah. Such a complete dragon-in the Eight Extremities World of after the Great Calamity, other than the founder of Jade Sea City who obtained a water dragon's corpse that year, there shouldn't be anyone else like it, right?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right, it's precisely so."
He looked at their surroundings, "While the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint's Sacred Artifact was not left here, being able to obtain the corpse of a true dragon like this is also very beneficial."
Yan Zhaoge retracted his mind from the ice pillar, beginning to inspect his surroundings a step further.
Within the great hall, there seemed to be a massive throne formed of pure ice, flickering with a lustrous radiance. (To be continued.)
