Qi Yue nodded and said, "I think it's about time. However, it's very difficult to advance even an inch now. The density of the ice has far exceeded my scope of understanding. Every time I go down, I can only move less than 20 meters forward. "
Wen Ting looked at Qi Yue's ashen face and said with a pained expression, "Qi Yue, why don't you rest for two days before continuing? The temperature down there is too low. If this goes on, your body won't be able to take it before we discover anything. "
Qi Yue smiled and said, "It's fine. Although it's very difficult. However, in this kind of environment, I can continue to cultivate, and it's actually quite helpful for the improvement of the Thundercloud Force. Don't worry, my body will be fine. Moreover, we're getting closer and closer to the mountain. I think it won't be long before the bitterness is over and the sweetness begins. Now, I just hope that the efforts of the past few days haven't been in vain. "
At this moment, Yue Ye woke up from her cultivation. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Yue and said with some surprise, "Master, I, I seem to have found a way to cultivate natural energy. Although the natural energy here is very thin, I can already absorb it on my own."
Qi Yue smiled and said, "As long as you work hard, you'll definitely gain something. Congratulations, as long as you're willing to put in the effort, you'll definitely gain something."
Yue Ye nodded and picked up a few fruits to eat. These few days of cultivation had greatly increased her confidence, and she had gradually walked out of her sorrow. She had adapted to the climate at high altitudes, and her skin had already regained its original luster. She was no longer as afraid of the cold.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yue stood up and walked to the side of the ice cave. He said resolutely, "I must go deeper today. I'm going." As soon as he finished speaking, he had already jumped into the ice cave. As if he was sitting on a slide, he went down the smooth ice wall and disappeared from the three women's sight in the blink of an eye.
The speed of his descent gradually increased. From time to time, Qi Yue pressed on the ice wall beside him to slow down his descent. Soon, as the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, he arrived at the bottom of the ice cave again.
Everything around them was dark. There was no light in the ice. Kirin's Vision reappeared in Qi Yue's palm. The huge Flame Drill brought warmth to the surroundings.
The reason why the drilling speed was constantly slowing down had a lot to do with the environment. Although the Qilin True Fire had a high temperature and was a top-grade flame, in such a cold environment, the effect it could display was greatly reduced. Qi Yue had to divide a part of his Thundercloud Force to resist the cold. As a result, the drilling time was gradually decreasing.
Kirin's Fantasy lit up, illuminating the surrounding ice. Suddenly, Qi Yue felt his eyes blur, as if something had flashed past. After a slight shock, he became overjoyed. This was the first time he made a discovery during the entire drilling process!
Without hesitation, he recalled Kirin's Fantasy and replaced it with a fireball. He then looked at the place where the light flashed. The ice did not change at all. It was still the same, and the reflected light had completely disappeared. Qi Yue did not give up. He carefully observed the ice in front of him and waited. He knew that as long as he could confirm that his observation was not wrong, then he would really have made a discovery.
Just as Qi Yue said, opportunities were always given to those who were prepared. After waiting for a full 10 minutes, the reflected light appeared again. As Qi Yue was observing attentively this time, he saw it very clearly. It was a kind of halo, and the reflected light was the fireball in his hand. It seemed to fluctuate slightly, and the halo was emitted irregularly. Although it disappeared in an instant, Qi Yue could not help but be ecstatic. After so many days of hard work, he finally made a discovery.
At this time, in the dense ice, it was difficult for his spiritual power to explore more than a meter. However, with this discovery, Qi Yue immediately took action. Kirin's Fantasy changed the direction of the drilling, and quickly drilled towards the location where the halo appeared.
Wen Ting and Snow Girl were still waiting anxiously. Wen Ting calculated the time, and it seemed that Qi Yue should be coming up soon. At this moment, Qi Yue's voice came from the ice cave. "Wen Ting, Snow Girl, come down quickly." His voice was full of surprise and disbelief. Suddenly hearing his voice, Wen Ting and Snow Girl were shocked at the same time. The two women looked at each other, and both knew that Qi Yue must have found something.
Snow Girl looked at Yue Ye next to her and said, "Should we ask her to go down with us?"
Wen Ting hesitated and said, "Forget it, the temperature down there is too low. If I don't protect her well, I'm afraid her body won't be able to bear it. Let her continue to cultivate here, let's go down and take a look first. " While speaking, Wen Ting left all the fruits beside Yue Ye and jumped into the ice cave with Snow Girl.
It didn't take long for them to descend more than a thousand meters and reach the bottom of the ice cave. When they came here, they suddenly found that Qi Yue was no longer digging downwards, but horizontally towards the mountain. The two women walked forward quickly, and after about ten meters, they saw Qi Yue.
Standing there, Qi Yue's body seemed to be stiff, squatting there without moving. Wen Ting was shocked, and quickly called out softly, "Qi Yue, are you okay?"
A flame lit up in Qi Yue's hand. Although his Cloudwalk had consumed a lot of energy, he was still extremely excited. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Come over quickly. Look, what is this?"
Snow Girl and Wen Ting heard this and came to Qi Yue's side. The ice cave wasn't high, and the two women could only bend their bodies. When they came to Qi Yue's side, they were completely stunned by everything in front of them.
In front of the three of them, which was the end of the ice cave, was actually a huge natural cave. No, it should be called a natural ice cave. The cold air was constantly gushing from the ice cave to the cave where they were, and the temperature was actually a few degrees lower than before. What surprised them the most was that in this huge ice cave, there was actually a vast ocean. As far as the eye could see, this huge ice cave was actually a world of water.
The halo that Qi Yue discovered before was the reflection of the lake water in this huge ice cave. At this time, their position was at the side wall of the ice cave. Because the fireball in Qi Yue's hand could only illuminate a certain area, they couldn't see how big this ice cave was. However, one thing was completely certain, the water here was extremely special. Conservatively speaking, the temperature in this ice cave was more than 70 degrees Celsius, but the water was slightly fluctuating, and there were no signs of it freezing. This strange scene was enough to surprise them.
Wen Ting was the first to react. The red light in her eyes lit up, and she waved her right hand forward. A fireball soared into the air and shot into the cave. When it traveled about a hundred meters, it suddenly exploded, bringing countless sparks to the cave and illuminating everything around it.
In the short moment of light, Qi Yue could clearly see that the size of this cave was completely beyond his estimation. Under the illumination of the fireball released by Wen Ting, he couldn't see the other end of the cave. This scene couldn't help but surprise him. The frozen lake below was even stranger. The surface of the lake was constantly fluctuating, and the originally calm lake water seemed to be at the center of it, bringing about slight ripples.
"Could it be here?" the Snow Lady asked curiously. Her voice reverberated throughout the spacious and empty ice cave.
Qi Yue took a deep breath. His lungs were stimulated by the cold air, and his whole body shivered. "I hope the answer is yes." His many days of hard work had not been in vain. Although he hadn't found the whereabouts of the Kunlun Mirrors, this strange frozen lake was already his reward. Who would believe that there was nothing special about such a strange place?
As they soared into the air, Qi Yue hugged Wen Ting's slender waist. The Kirin Pearl had already turned blue. By absorbing the water energy molecules in the air, it was helping him recover the Thundercloud Force that he had used. Although the temperature was very low, the water energy molecules were initially very large. During the absorption process, Qi Yue's physical strength had already started to recover rapidly.
Snow Girl flew beside Qi Yue, and the three of them flew towards the lake together.
When they reached the surface of the lake, Qi Yue realized that the surrounding air seemed to have become even colder. He waved his right hand, and a wave of Thundercloud Force moved the lake water. Through his spiritual power, Qi Yue was surprised to find that the temperature of the lake water was actually much lower than the surrounding air. It was probably around -100 degrees Celsius. Water of this temperature was definitely a miracle among miracles! But how did it reach such a low temperature? Why didn't it freeze?
With a heart full of doubts, Qi Yue and the other two continued to fly towards the depths of the ice cave. At the same time, he put on his Kirin Red. With the help of the Kirin Red's light, he could barely bring some light to the surroundings. He followed the ripples on the surface of the lake and gradually moved towards the depths of the lake. At that moment, what Qi Yue wanted to find was the source of the ripples. The ripples were not caused by the wind, because they were too regular. In this quiet ice cave, what was the source of the ripples?
He spread his spiritual power outwards to explore the area of the ice cave. There was no longer any obstruction from the ice, so Qi Yue was surprised to find that the area of the ice cave was so vast. Even with his spiritual power, which could explore thousands of square kilometers, he could not sense the end of the ice lake. It was obvious that the ice lake occupied almost the entire mountainside of the mountain where he was! What exactly existed in such a strange ice lake?
The discovery of the ice lake was enough to make Qi Yue excited, but what made him a little uneasy was that under the detection of his spiritual power, there was still no change in the aura of other energies. Obviously, the aura of the Kunlun Mirrors did not appear here.
As he searched for the ripples, it did not take long for Qi Yue to finally find the end of the ripples. The sound of the water was very soft, but it was especially obvious here. When they descended to the vicinity, they found that there was actually a small spout. The spout was about a meter in diameter, and it was the source of the ripples on the surface of the ice lake.
The three of them stopped above the spout. Almost at the same time, Qi Yue and Snow Girl had a special feeling. This feeling came from the spout, but the range was very small. They could only feel a special aura above the spout. The aura was extremely changeable, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes elegant. Just the moment they felt its existence, there were at least ten different situations. Although the aura was invisible, the air above the spout was slowly twisting.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. At such a close distance, even Wen Ting, whose spiritual power was slightly weaker, could feel the uniqueness of the spout. "Is it here?"
Qi Yue's eyes lit up. "It should be here. Even if it's not the Kunlun Mirrors, there must be something hidden in such a strange aura."
Snow Girl suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I know what the water here is. "
Qi Yue looked at her in surprise, revealing a questioning gaze. Snow Girl said, "The water here is actually the legendary Frozen Spring. It is said that it will never freeze. It belongs to the category of Heaven and Earth Treasures. I have only heard about it from my elders, but I didn't expect to see it here. No wonder I felt something was wrong when I entered the range of this frozen lake. Oh my god! There are so many Frozen Springs, it's simply immeasurable. "
Qi Yue asked curiously, "What's the use of this Frozen Spring? Don't tell me it can bring the dead back to life? "
Snow Girl shook her head and said, "Of course not. However, the Frozen Spring has great benefits for all people who practice cold energy. Even a drop of the Frozen Spring can increase one's cultivation. The Frozen Spring here is thousands of meters deep in the ice, and the temperature is so low. It can be said to be the best of the Frozen Springs. If I'm not wrong, there must be a Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade under this Frozen Spring. That is the real priceless treasure. "
As she said that, Snow Girl's gaze had already landed on the center of the eruption, and her eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
Qi Yue said, "If that's the case, then it's even better. Snow Girl, don't you practice cold energy? With so many Frozen Springs, it must be very beneficial for your cultivation."
Snow Girl nodded lightly and said, "However, there are too few Frozen Springs here, and the cold energy is too overbearing. It's impossible to practice here, so we can only bring the Frozen Spring out and absorb it bit by bit. Dad, let's not rush this. Let's look for the Kunlun Mirrors first. There must be a Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade under the mouth of this Frozen Spring. Otherwise, the eruption of the spring wouldn't be so gentle. I think the real mouth of the spring under the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade might be the place we're looking for. Because the aura emitted from the Frozen Spring is too special. If it's just the Frozen Spring, it should emit pure cold energy. Any living thing that touches it will be frozen in an instant. However, this hot spring isn't like that. To be able to produce so much energy, there must be something else affecting it. It's very likely that it's the Kunlun Mirrors we're looking for. "
Qi Yue nodded and said, "I hope so too. How about this, you guys wait up here, and I'll go down first. The temperature here is too low. If you guys can't handle it, then go back up and wait for me."
Wen Ting took a deep breath and said, "Qi Yue, do you really want to go down? The temperature on the surface of the water is already so cold, wouldn't it be below … "
Qi Yue said without hesitation, "My cultivation is higher than yours. Going down is the best choice. Since we're already here, are we going to give up just because of the cold water? Don't worry, I'll be careful. Once the energy can't withstand the cold of the Frozen Spring, I'll come up immediately. "
Wen Ting looked at him deeply and said, "Alright, but you must be careful here. Don't be careless. Snow Girl and I will wait for you here. Don't force yourself."
Qi Yue said, "I will." As he said that, he started to adjust the Thundercloud Force in his body. The water molecules here were very abundant. After a period of time, his Thundercloud Force had recovered to about 70%. With the support of the Thundercloud Force that was converted from the Thundercloud Force, the surrounding temperature increased. Looking at the spring in front of him, the Kirin Mirror in Qi Yue's right hand shone brightly, and a huge shield appeared in his hand. At the same time, he released the Kirin Mirror with his left hand. What he needed to do was very simple. He needed to use his energy to forcefully separate the water surface and go deep into the Frozen Spring as little as possible.
"Thank you very much for bringing me here. If it wasn't for your hard work, it would have been very difficult to find the entrance to the Kunlun Mirrors! " A low and cold voice suddenly appeared in this quiet space. Qi Yue and the other two were shocked at the same time. Their eyes instantly fell in the direction of the voice.
A ball of dark blue light shone on the surface of the lake where they had passed. A human about two meters tall appeared out of thin air. His face was covered with a layer of black mist. His tall body's energy was completely restrained. However, that invisible pressure still made the three of them feel as though they couldn't breathe. And in the crook of his left arm was the pale Yue Ye.
Qi Yue's eyes were filled with shock. He said in horror, "Bull Demon King."
The huge body of the Bull Demon King almost instantly appeared in front of the three of them. He suddenly laughed, and his laughter was full of pride. "You didn't expect this, did you? Actually, I've been here for a long time. Did you think that you could escape from me that day? If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to follow behind you to find the whereabouts of the Divine Weapon, I would have made my move long ago. "
After a short period of fear, Qi Yue gradually calmed down. The appearance of the Bull Demon King had already caused his slightly excited heart to sink to the bottom. At this moment, the temperature of his heart was probably a few degrees colder than the Frozen Spring below. Having seen the true power of the Bull Demon King, Qi Yue of course knew how powerful he was. Although his body had shrunk, his power did not decrease at all! Even the king of the Divine Beasts, Mo Huo, could not defeat a super beast. How could the three of them fight against him?
"I don't believe it. How could you follow us?" Qi Yue said calmly.
The Bull Demon King was obviously very proud of himself. He was not in a hurry to destroy Qi Yue and the others. He said, "It's very simple. That day, when we were in the Yue clan's territory, I sensed your remaining aura. I couldn't be more familiar with Kirin's aura. At that time, my spiritual power had already sensed your existence. However, I was not in a hurry to make a move. After you rescued this Yue clan girl, my spiritual power was deep in following you. Although your domain was very powerful, how could you escape after being locked on by me? After that, after arranging my subordinates, I came over. Actually, I was quite lucky to be able to fight against the Creator of the Universe Net. I've been thinking about it ever since I heard that the Xuanyuan Sword has appeared. Although I'm stronger than any of you divine beasts, I can't ignore a divine weapon. If I can get my hands on a divine weapon, then I'll be invincible in this world. Therefore, these days, I have been asking about the whereabouts of the Divine Weapon. I did not expect to meet you. After transmitting your conversation to me through your spiritual power, I found out that you were actually looking for the Kunlun Mirrors. Although the Kunlun Mirrors are not powerful weapons, they are still one of the top ten Divine Weapons. Therefore, I quietly followed behind you and waited for you to find them. With you ants helping me find the specific location of the Kunlun Mirrors, it saved me a lot of trouble. If not for you, I really would not have thought of looking for the entrance inside the iceberg. "
Wen Ting and Snow Girl slowly moved closer to Qi Yue. They both knew that the possibility of surviving in the face of the Bull Demon King was infinitely close to zero. Even so, they would not give up without a fight.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yue looked at Yue Ye, who was held in the Bull Demon King's arm, and said indifferently, "Bull Demon King, how about we talk about a deal?"
The Bull Demon King snorted disdainfully and said, "Do you have the right?"
Qi Yue said indifferently, "I really don't, but don't forget, I am the new owner of the Xuan Yuan sword. In the face of the most powerful weapon in the world, do you think I have no chance of winning?"
The Bull Demon King suddenly laughed out loud, "Chance of winning? Brat, are you stupid? I have been following you for so many days, don't tell me I still don't know how strong you are? If the Xuan Yuan sword was in the hands of Mo Huo, I might really be a little afraid. Unfortunately, it has chosen you. With your current strength, it is already very good that you can pick up the Xuan Yuan sword on the Genesis Network. Divine Weapons can greatly increase one's strength, but first, one must have the ability to use the Divine Weapon. Moreover, there is such a big gap between your strength and mine. Even if you can use the Xuan Yuan sword, you are definitely no match for me. What right do you have to compete with me? If you want to fight, then I want to see how much of a threat the Xuan Yuan sword in your hands can pose to me. "
The feeling of despair. It permeated around the bodies of Qi Yue and the other two. Their strength was already far inferior to the other party, and now, their situation was completely understood by the other party. Qi Yue did not expect the Bull Demon King to be able to endure and follow the three of them. If he really obtained the Kunlun Mirrors, then not only would the three of them be finished, he would probably destroy all the Mythological Beasts.
"Bull Demon King, do you want to get the Xuan Yuan sword?" Qi Yue asked indifferently.
The Bull Demon King frowned and said, "Kid, what other tricks are you trying to play?"
Qi Yue said proudly, "If my guess is correct, the Xuan Yuan sword is definitely more important to you than the Kunlun Mirrors. After all, the Kunlun Mirrors are not weapons, and they will not be very useful to you. However, the Xuan Yuan sword is different. It is the world's most powerful weapon. If you can have it, then you will be truly invincible. Am I right? I think you also know that the Xuan Yuan sword is extremely spiritual. If you want to get it, it's not as simple as killing me. You just have to kill me. As long as I die, the Xuan Yuan sword will return to its original restriction, and you will never be able to obtain it. However, if I am willing to give the Xuan Yuan sword to you, you can become its new master. "
The Bull Demon King was tempted. Qi Yue was right. Among the ten great divine weapons, there were only two that he wanted the most. One was the King's Sword, the Xuan Yuan sword, which represented benevolence, and the other was the Pangu Axe, which represented creation. Only these two divine weapons were most suitable for him. However, he also knew that the Xuan Yuan sword could only be used by humans, and it would not recognize any ferocious beasts. As for the Pangu Axe, there was no whereabouts at all. At this moment, when he heard what Qi Yue said, his arrogance immediately decreased. He said with interest, "You are willing to give the Xuan Yuan sword to me? Alright, as long as you are willing to give it to me, and allow me to use it and become its new master, I can let the few of you leave this place. At least for a period of time, I won't chase after you. "
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "No, the value of the Xuan Yuan sword, is it only the lives of the four of us? The deal that I want to make with you is not that simple. "
The Bull Demon King laughed coldly and said, "Kid, don't push your luck. Although I want to obtain the Xuan Yuan sword, it is not absolute. In this world, there is no creature that is a match for me in terms of strength. As long as I destroy you, the threat that the Xuan Yuan sword poses to me will naturally disappear. After that, I will obtain the Kunlun Mirrors, and I will also be able to dominate the world. "
Qi Yue smiled. At this moment, his confidence had gradually recovered. "I am not pushing my luck. I just want to take what I need from you. If you want the Xuan Yuan sword, I can give it to you. However, I have two conditions. First, you must help us obtain the Kunlun Mirrors. Second, after we obtain the Kunlun Mirrors, you must let us go and swear not to harm us. "
"Qi Yue, are you crazy? How can you trust a guy like him? "Wen Ting said anxiously.
Qi Yue said calmly, "No, I believe in his oath. As the king of the beasts, I think that he will not bully juniors like us. Moreover, after obtaining the Xuan Yuan sword, our existence will no longer be a threat to him. Why would he go back on his word? "
The Bull Demon King snorted coldly and said, "On account of what you said, I will spare your life. That's right, if I have the Xuan Yuan sword, the Kunlun Mirrors will naturally be of no benefit to me. I can agree to your conditions, but you must give me the Xuan Yuan sword. "
Qi Yue said, "Impossible. Before we obtain the Kunlun Mirrors, we will not give you the Xuan Yuan sword. Otherwise, if you do not help us find the Kunlun Mirrors, what else can I do? Moreover, you know that my strength is not very strong, and I still need the Xuan Yuan sword to protect me. "
The Bull Demon King said coldly, "Then why should I believe you?"
Qi Yue said, "Right now, Yue Ye is in your hands as a hostage. She is our partner, and we cannot abandon her. Moreover, if we do not give you the Xuan Yuan sword after we obtain the Kunlun Mirrors, do you think we can escape from your hands?"
The Bull Demon King looked at Qi Yue and seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, he laughed, "Kid, I almost agreed to your conditions. Unfortunately, you still showed a flaw. "
Qi Yue's heart trembled, and he said reluctantly, "Bull Demon King, you are not going to go back on your words, are you?"
The Bull Demon King shook his head and said, "Kid, you are still too naive. Your words are indeed very attractive to me, and the Xuan Yuan sword is indeed what I want. However, there is one thing that you have overlooked. The Xuan Yuan sword can only be used by humans. Moreover, with the Xuan Yuan sword's spirituality and its own aura of a ruler, it will not be able to attach itself to me. That is not something that you can control. Your promise to me now is all nonsense. Kid, it is your good fortune to die in my hands, and your bones will be buried in this frozen spring. "
The Bull Demon King's sudden change of heart caught Qi Yue by surprise. The dark blue light that was originally surrounding the Bull Demon King's body suddenly expanded. This underground frozen lake was so vast that the light emitted from his body could actually illuminate such a vast space. The pressure did not only come from the front, but from all directions, it enveloped Qi Yue's group. Although the Bull Demon King was currently only two meters tall, the pressure that he brought was not any different from when he was a hundred meters tall.
Yue Ye, who was being held under the Bull Demon King's armpit, had an intense sadness in her eyes. Qi Yue could clearly see that her body was already emitting a green light. The light was very faint, and the Creation's Network did not spread to the surroundings. The Bull Demon King's attention was all on Qi Yue, so he did not notice the change in Yue Ye.
The Bull Demon King raised his other hand, and the dark blue light condensed into the shape of a palm in front of him. That huge palm slowly closed, and with every inch that it closed, the pressure around Qi Yue's group would increase.
At this moment, it was already a matter of life and death, but Qi Yue's expression was still so calm. He seemed to be waiting for something.
