"What should we do? What should we do? If this goes on, Grandpa Grand Priest will die! " Li Ya and Gu An paced back and forth anxiously, their faces filled with worry. It seemed like they could not wait to rush up and help.
But fortunately, she hadn't lost her reason. With her and Lin Xuan's strength, it was dangerous to watch a battle of this level from afar. Once they approached, a strand of its aftershock would probably be sufficient to crush them into pieces.
After a while, the Ice Demon Queen and the other higher-ups of the Ice Demon Tribe arrived as well. They approached Lin Xuan and Li Ya.
"Queen Mother! Grandpa Grand Priest is in danger! Let's go help him! "
Li Ya and Gu An ran up and shook the Ice Demon Queen's arm, begging anxiously.
The Ice Demon Queen looked at Lin Xuan and said calmly, "This is a battle between Rank 6 powerhouses. We can't interfere. However, we have to believe in the Grand Priest. "
Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the higher-ups of the Ice Demon Tribe. To his surprise, everyone was looking at him with hatred and anger. This made him confused.
Yours Truly had only raised a few conditions. If they could agree, then they would. If not, then so be it. Do they have to hate me so much?
Lin Xuan was puzzled.
What he did not know was that the Ice Demon Tribe's Grand Priest was fighting for his conditions.
The battle went on for an entire day and night.
The Ice Demon Tribe's Grand Priest's attacks were getting weaker and weaker, while the Dark Giant Octopus's attacks were getting weaker and weaker.
Suddenly, the Grand Priest used a forbidden secret skill. His entire body was covered in ice flames, and he rushed into the Dark Giant Octopus's mouth. With a loud explosion, the Dark Giant Octopus's head was blown apart.
The Grand Priest was dead. Nothing was left of him.
The Dark Giant Octopus's huge body fell into the depths of the underground river.
At this moment, the Ice Demon Queen made her move.
She rushed into the underground river and kept the Dark Giant Octopus's body into her spatial treasure.
She stood at the place where the two parties were fighting and mourned for a while. Then, she returned.
She looked at Lin Xuan deeply. Then, she silently pulled Li Ya and Gu An, who were crying her eyes out, and led everyone back to the secret realm.
Over the next few days, Lin Xuan began a long negotiation with the Ice Demon Clan.
The Ice Demon Clan clearly agreed to Lin Xuan's first and third conditions.
The Calamity Transformation Stone had already been given to Lin Xuan.
As for the Rat Emperor's demon core, the High Priestess of the Ice Demon Clan had risked her life to snatch it from the giant octopus monster's stomach.
On the body of the Hunting Rat Emperor, there was another Rat Emperor's demon core, as well as over fifty demon king cores, all of which were given to Lin Xuan.
The only thing that the two sides had yet to agree on was the second condition.
The Ice Demon Clan was unwilling to swear a bloodline oath that they would be enslaved by Lin Xuan forever. They only agreed to ally with Lin Xuan and serve him.
"Lin Xuan, you have to understand that if you want the Sacred Clan to serve you for generations to come, you will have to wait until the day you become the Human Emperor. That will be far in the future, and the chances are slim.
However, if you ally with us, the Sacred Clan will serve you right now. Even if we go against the Law of the Human Emperor, we will help you wipe out your opponents and solve all the obstacles on your path to becoming the Human Emperor's Sword Master. "
In the garden, the Ice Demon Queen once again invited Lin Xuan to a banquet, but she refused to budge on the alliance.
Lin Xuan played with his wine cup, his face expressionless.
In fact, according to his heart, he was willing to accept even an alliance.
Especially when he knew that the High Priestess of the Ice Demon Clan had died for the Rat Emperor's demon core. Every time he saw the gloomy Li Ya and Gu An, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, he vaguely had a premonition that an alliance alone would not be able to bind the Ice Demon Clan. It would probably bring him a lot of trouble in the future. This was also because he couldn't see the future potential of the Ice Demon Clan at all, so he couldn't help but be wary.
However, this stalemate was not a solution. He had already been delayed in the Ice Demon Clan for a few days, and he didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I agree to the alliance. However, I have an additional condition. The Ice Demon Clan must swear a bloodline oath that they will never become enemies with the human race."
The Ice Demon Queen's eyes flashed, and she nodded. "Alright! On behalf of the Sacred Clan, I agree to your condition! "
Since they had reached an agreement, the two sides didn't hesitate. The Ice Demon Clan immediately set up an altar and swore an oath to the Ancient Heavens, forming an alliance with Lin Xuan in the name of the Ice Demon Clan.
After that, the Ice Demon Empress gathered all of her clansmen and swore a Bloodline Oath, turning the rule of not becoming enemies with the human race into a binding oath. Furthermore, this oath would be passed down generation after generation.
The whole process took another three days. Lin Xuan didn't plan to leave the Ice Demon Mystery Realm. Instead, he borrowed a cultivation room from the Ice Demon Queen and prepared to go into seclusion for a while.
He was going into seclusion mainly to refine the Demon Cores of the Hunting Rats and improve the Heart of the Rock Demon. Now that he had a large number of Demon Cores, he couldn't wait any longer.
However, according to his estimation, this seclusion wouldn't be short. It might take a few months, which might affect the fight for the Human Sovereign's Sword. This was also a headache for him.
However, he didn't expect the Ice Demon Queen to give him an unexpected surprise.
As it turned out, the Ice Demon Clan had been guarding the branch of the River of Time for tens of thousands of years, and they had gradually found some tricks to make use of the River of Time.
One of them was to use a secret technique to intercept the power of time at the edge of the River of Time and create a cultivation space that sped up the flow of time. It was called the Rapid Wind Palace.
In the Rapid Wind Palace, the flow of time was 65 times faster than outside. In other words, one day outside was 65 days in the Rapid Wind Palace.
For Lin Xuan, this Rapid Wind Palace was just like a pillow sent to him when he was sleepy.
Before entering the Rapid Wind Palace, he first returned to his residence and gave some instructions to Tu He, Shen Yukun, Ji Fengxiao, and the others.
Among them, Ji Fengxiao had been hidden by him. Now that he had completely fallen out with the Ji Family, it was just the right time for Ji Fengxiao to sneak back into the Ji Family's camp as an undercover agent and help him investigate the Ji Family's arrangements.
As for Shen Yukun and Tu He, Lin Xuan arranged for them to enter the Ice Demon Clan's ancient books, where they would collect all the information about the Human Sovereign, the Feather Sovereign, the Stone Sovereign, and the Demon Sovereign.
Although the Ice Demon Clan had declined, since the Middle Ages, their inheritance had never been broken. In their ancient books, there must be many ancient secrets that the True Martial World didn't know. There might be some useful information, and Lin Xuan didn't want to miss it.
After finishing his instructions, Lin Xuan walked into the Rapid Wind Palace without any worries. He put down the barrier and sat down cross-legged.
Huala!
A pile of Demon Cores emitting yellow light was scattered in front of him. There were as many as fifty-six of them.
Most of these Demon Cores belonged to the Rat Kings, about the size of a fist.
However, there were also two Demon Cores that were the size of a human head and emitted a blazing yellow light, which were particularly eye-catching. These were the Demon Cores of the two Hunting Rat Kings, which were at the peak of the Fifth-Order. Just these Demon Cores alone made Lin Xuan feel great pressure.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and looked at the Hunting Rat Demon Cores in front of him. His eyes couldn't help but light up, and there was a strong expectation in his eyes.
"I wonder what kind of changes will happen to my Stone Devil's Heart after refining all of these! I'm really looking forward to it! "
He took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing for a moment, then took out one of the Rat Kings' Demon Cores and began to operate the Stone Devil's Heart, quickly refining it.
Lin Xuan spent a day and a night to completely refine one of the Rat Kings' Demon Cores, absorbing the thick earth power inside.
This also made the Stone Devil's Heart improve a little, but there were still no signs of evolution.
Lin Xuan wasn't discouraged. He rested for a moment, then took out another Demon Core and continued to refine it.
Time passed day by day, and the number of Demon Cores decreased one by one.
After more than fifty days, all of the Rat Kings' Demon Cores had been refined by Lin Xuan. This also strengthened his Stone Devil's Heart by more than three times. This undoubtedly increased the speed of Lin Xuan's Earth Traversing Technique and the divine earth power absorption to a terrifying level.
However, the only fly in the ointment was that the Stone Devil's Heart still hadn't undergone any qualitative changes.
Lin Xuan wasn't discouraged. He quickly turned his gaze to the last two Demon Cores, which were the two Hunting Rat Kings' Demon Cores.
"Whether or not I can advance to the next level depends on you."
