Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Ice Spirit Pearl?

What met his eyes was a massive ice sculpture.

"Eh, what is this..."

Ao Yu was slightly startled as well.

He could feel that this was a frigid zone, yet he was unclear on the exact situation within the icy regions.

"Brother Ao, is there a treasure beneath this ice sculpture?"

Nian Ciyun, shivering from the cold, spoke up as she approached, her eyes narrowed to slits by the bone-chilling wind.

"No, this ice sculpture was man-made. Perhaps the person we are searching for is within the ice sculpture!"

As someone with a Mysterious Ice Dao Body, Ao Yu could sense something and then made a guess.

"Didn’t that lad seize the Earth Fire? Although this place is cold, if he truly subdued the Earth Fire, he could use it to ward off the cold!"

Nian Ciyun huddled her neck and said.

"But do you feel the presence of the Earth Fire?"

Ao Yu questioned in return. Nian Ciyun shook her head; she was completely occupied with resisting the severe cold, how could she spare any attention to sense the Earth Fire?

"Therefore, based on my conjecture, although he took the Magic Artifact attached to that Earth Fire, he hasn’t mastered how to control it with the Imperial Command. Then he rashly entered the Extreme Ice Land..."

Ao Yu stared at the ice sculpture, continuously speculating.

It was just that the ice sculpture was a bit too peculiar.

And the hole that Lu Chen had previously burrowed out was right there in front of them, but they hadn’t seen it.

Yet, their voices, mixed with the sound of the wind, passed through the ice tunnel into the cave!

"Someone’s coming?"

Lu Chen perked up, feeling a sudden joy in his heart.

He guessed that it must be Ao Yu and Nian Ciyun!

"Perhaps this might be my chance, and that inexplicable crisis, I wonder if it will provide me with an opportunity!"

Lu Chen could only hear snippets over the strong and chaotic wind. He managed to crawl out a bit but didn’t completely reveal himself from the ice hole.

The previous sense of danger left him still apprehensive.

Indeed, he was strong, but if he was clueless about the enemy’s location, he’d be no different from any other cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

After approaching the opening, besides keeping his ears up, Lu Chen also gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear tightly in his hand.

Faintly, he confirmed the voices of the two people.

"Strange, haven’t they noticed the danger?"

That was the point of confusion for Lu Chen.

He surmised that whatever was lying in wait was a demonic beast from this land.

Based on his experiences in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and Heaven’s Chasm, usually, if demonic beasts were alert, they were guarding some sort of heavenly or earthly treasure, waiting for the moment it ripened to consume it and then ascend to a higher realm.

But the problem was, the demonic beast had come for him and yet chose not to take action against those two, which must have some peculiar reason.

Either the time was not right.

Or the demonic beast didn’t see the two as a threat!

And Lu Chen believed more in the former!

"If the demonic beast has been lying in wait for so long without taking action, should I... provoke it a bit?"

If things continued this way, Ao Yu and his companion would inevitably detect something amiss.

In his original plan, this was not the battleground Lu Chen had chosen to confront Ao Yu.

The icy ground, which was like a home field for Ao Yu, coupled with Nian Ciyun giving strategy and counsel on the side...

Lu Chen naturally didn’t dare to make too much movement lest he alert the duo. Therefore, he decided to peek his head out quietly.

With this thought, Lu Chen took a deep breath of the icy cold air to calm himself down further and then held his breath and spirit steady as he slowly inched toward the mouth of the cave.

But before he could leave the cave, he faintly heard three incredibly unbelievable words coming from Ao Yu’s mouth.

"Ice Spirit Pearl!"

He tensed, hastily stopped, and turned his ear to listen more clearly!

If there was a Wood Spiritual Bead for those with a single Wood Spirit Root,

then was the treasure for those with a single Ice Spirit Root...

the Ice Spirit Pearl?

Combining his guess that Ao Yu had an Ice Spiritual Root with the nature of this icy land, Lu Chen immediately thought that he must not let Ao Yu get his hands on the Ice Spirit Pearl, or else, that would make him a formidable opponent!

"No matter what, I’ll stir up trouble here first and see how the demonic beast reacts," Lu Chen decided as he heightened his vigilance and then stuck his head out of the ice hole.

In an instant,

that familiar sense of danger came from the top of the ice sculpture!

It was as if a venomous snake lurked in the shadows, chilling to the bone!
