Chapter 1649
by“The Good Fortune Cold Pool is a top-secret place of our Ice Heart Valley. No one is allowed to enter without permission except important people. The cold pool is divided into twelve sections. The deeper you go, the higher the difficulty and the greater the danger, but the more benefits you can obtain.” Luo Li looked at Yang Kai and continued to explain.
“Oh？ Then may I ask, senior, how many sections can you penetrate？” Yang Kai asked with great interest.
“The furthest I have ever reached is the eighth section. I was powerless to go any further.” Luo Li looked a little ashamed.
“Is Su Yan in there？”
“That’s right. Her talent is peerless, and she has the Ice Crystal Jade Body. Originally, I planned to let her enter the Cold Pool to seek opportunities after a few more years. But I didn’t expect her to be able to promote to the Third-Order Void Returning Realm in such a short time. Now she is also qualified to enter the Cold Pool. Although she is no longer a disciple of my Ice Heart Valley, let this be a farewell gift from this palace to her.”
“Then I thank senior for this.”
He naturally knew that Luo Li was doing this mainly to ease the relationship between the Ice Heart Valley and himself. Anyway, the Good Fortune Cold Pool was here, and whether Su Yan went in or not had little impact on it. Letting Su Yan enter once could maximize his favorability towards the Ice Heart Valley.
Luo Li smiled slightly： “It is my Ice Heart Valley that owes her. Young Hero Yang, there is no need to be polite. Hmm… She should be coming out soon. I wonder which section she has reached this time.”
Hearing what she said, Yang Kai’s expression moved. In his telepathy, he indeed noticed that Su Yan’s smell was slowly rising from that bottomless cold pool.
Moments later, a small whirlpool suddenly appeared on the Cold Pool. The whirlpool rotated, causing a hollow area to form in the center of the Cold Pool, and an even more intense cold began to diffuse.
After a while, a beautiful figure shot out from the whirlpool.
A cold light suddenly appeared along with the beautiful figure’s flight. Yang Kai’s eyes shrank. With his current strength, upon seeing this cold glow, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of coldness on his skin, and all the pores on his body seemed to be stung by hundreds of millions of needles, causing a stabbing pain.
Yang Kai’s expression was stunned. He stared straight at that cold light.
“This is…” Luo Li also had a look of shock on her face and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, Su Yan’s figure stood still in the void, motionless. The icy cold aura on her was several times stronger than that more than ten days ago. In her right hand, she was holding a three-foot-long, glittering cold long sword.
The stabbing cold glow was shining out from the long sword.
Yang Kai and Luo Li’s gazes were instantly fixed on that long sword. The former shows a cheerful smile after being stunned for a moment while the latter’s face was horrified and her delicate body trembled slightly.
The long sword held in Su Yan’s hand looked a bit strange. Although it was three feet long, it was extremely slender and not as wide and thick as an ordinary long sword, giving people a feeling of being extremely sharp.
Bursts of cold light circulated continuously on the sword body. Su Yan raised the sword with one hand and gently wiped it with her fingers on the sword body.
The sword body hummed and the cold light suddenly rose. An extremely terrifying icy cold artistic conception permeated with Su Yan as the center.
The already extremely cold peak of Bingjue seemed to have a tendency to be completely frozen.
The barrier outside the drafty thatched hut even made a clicking sound as if it couldn’t bear the load and was about to shatter at any moment.
“Xuanshuang？” Luo Li could no longer remain calm. She suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the narrow and thin long sword in Su Yan’s hand, and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Yang Kai observed the situation and knew that Su Yan must have picked up a great bargain this time, and it was a bargain that Luo Li had never expected. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Su Yan also seemed to have finally come back to her senses at this moment. She turned her head and looked down, and the icy artistic conception on her body suddenly dissipated, revealing a warm smile. With a sway of her delicate body, she came to the front of the thatched hut： “Why are you here, junior brother?”
“The senior asked me to come over.” Yang Kai explained with a smile, and there was a hint of fine light flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly found that Su Yan’s whole body’s aura was extremely stable and solidified, and she had become even stronger than when they parted more than ten days ago. Presumably, she had reaped great benefits in this Good Fortune Cold Pool.
His gaze once again fell on the narrow and thin long sword. Observing this long sword up close, even though Yang Kai was used to see Void King-level secret treasures, he couldn’t help but feel a little startled.
In that narrow and thin long sword, there was actually an icy cold intent that condensed into an intangible sharp blade and autonomously pierced into his mind, as if resisting his observation of it.
Su Yan, can this sword… let this palace take a look？” Luo Li regained her composure and spoke with a solemn expression.”
Please take a look, Supreme Elder！” Su Yan respectfully held the narrow and thin long sword in both hands and handed it over.”
Luo Li reached out and grasped the sword.
A flash of light shone on the sword body. Immediately afterwards, an unimaginable icy cold was born from the sword body and spread into Luo Li’s body.
One of Luo Li’s small hands was actually frozen at a visible speed, and a thin layer of ice appeared on her skin.
But she seemed to have expected that this would happen. She just shook her wrist, and the ice layer shattered with a loud crash.
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.
This narrow and thin long sword really seems extraordinary! Without anyone driving it, it can actually cause some small troubles to a strong person like Luo Li. If someone drives it, wouldn’t it be even more powerful？
Just relying on this long sword, Su Yan’s combat power will soar by several levels！
This is probably a top-level Void King Grade secret treasure, right? Yang Kai guessed dark.
“Sure enough, it’s Xuanshuang！” Luo Li carefully observed the sword body and nodded slightly after a long time, saying with a somewhat emotional expression, “I didn’t expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see the Xuanshuang Sword again.”
Yang Kai asked, “Does this sword have any origin？”
A hint of respect emerged on Luo Li’s face, and she said in a deep voice, “It is the sword of our Bingxin Valley’s founding ancestor, Ancestor Bingyun.”
Yang Kai and Su Yan looked at each other and couldn’t help but show shocked expressions.
The Bingxin Valley has been established for two or three thousand years. It is rumored that the founding ancestor even had the top cultivation base of the Void King Third Layer Realm and was a real overlord in the star field. However, although she left a heritage, the development of the Bingxin Valley in these tens of thousands of years has not been satisfactory. There has never been such a supreme powerhouse as her in the sect again. The one with the highest strength is only at the Void King Second Layer Realm.
In this generation, Luo Li even only has the cultivation base of the Void King First Layer Realm.
“It’s actually the founding ancestor’s sword？” Su Yan was also a little dazed. After thinking for a while, she said seriously, “Since it is the founding ancestor’s sword, then it should be handed over to the Supreme Elder for safekeeping. The disciple didn’t know that this sword was so precious, so she brought it out.”
Luo Li slowly shook her head: “That you can call me Supreme Elder again, I am already very relieved. As for saying to keep this sword safe, hehe… I am powerless.
As she spoke, her entire arm holding the sword was covered by a layer of frost. As soon as one layer was shattered, another would appear, and the situation was worsening, spreading straight towards her chest. In a few more moments, I’m afraid her entire body would be covered in frost.
Luo Li didn’t dare to continue holding the sword and reached out to hand the Xuan Shuang back to Su Yan： “Since you were able to obtain it, then it’s your opportunity！ There’s no reason for me to take it back. The Ancestor left a teaching that the Xuan Shuang Sword will choose its own master. If I were to keep it, that would be going against the Ancestor’s teaching, and this crime I can’t afford to bear.”
“But…” Su Yan seemed to want to say something more.
“It’s fate and opportunity. This is the choice of the Xuan Shuang and also the choice of the Ancestor.” Luo Li let out a long sigh.
If Su Yan was still a disciple of the Bing Xin Valley and had obtained the Xuan Shuang Sword, then Luo Li would probably be extremely happy. But now that Su Yan was no longer a disciple of the Bing Xin Valley, yet she had received the recognition of the Xuan Shuang Sword, this was a huge loss for the Bing Xin Valley.
The Ancestor’s teaching was right there, and Luo Li didn’t dare to disobey it.
She really wanted to speak up and ask Su Yan to return to the Bing Xin Valley, but when she thought of the attitudes of herself and Bing Long and others before, she just couldn’t bring herself to open her mouth no matter what.
“Since the senior has said so, Su Yan, you should just take it. As long as you have the Bing Xin Valley in your heart, what does it matter if you’re a disciple of the Bing Xin Valley or not？” Yang Kai said indifferently from the side.
Luo Li looked at him thoughtfully and a grateful expression appeared on her face.
Although Yang Kai didn’t make this point too clear, Luo Li could still understand the underlying meaning. Even though the spilled water couldn’t be retrieved, with the bond of the Mysterious Frost Sword, if the Ice Heart Valley really encountered an insoluble crisis in the future, Su Yan wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
This was already the best outcome for the Ice Heart Valley.
“Oh right, since you have obtained the Mysterious Frost Sword, does that mean you have reached the twelfth section？” Luo Li suddenly thought of something and asked nervously.
“I don’t know how many sections I have reached. It was just the bottom of the cold pool.” Su Yan replied softly.
“The bottom, then that’s right. That is indeed the twelfth section.” Luo Li sighed with emotion. “It seems that with the power of the Ice Phoenix origin, your future and prospects are indeed much brighter than this Palace Master’s.”
She had been working hard for so many years, but could only reach the eighth section. On the contrary, Su Yan, who entered the cold pool for the first time, directly rushed to the twelfth section. This also indirectly explains the power of the Ice Phoenix origin.
If there was no power of the Ice Phoenix origin, Su Yan would never have been able to accomplish this feat.
Since you have reached the bottom, have you seen the master’s Phantom Thought Crystal? Luo Li’s expression became even more nervous when she asked this.
“Phantom Thought Crystal？” Su Yan’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. “I haven’t seen that. In the bottom, except for an extremely powerful domain field, there was only the Mysterious Frost Sword inserted there. I didn’t find the Phantom Thought Crystal.”
“Not found！” Luo Li’s beautiful eyes shone with a sharp light, as if she had thought of something, and her expression kept changing. After a long time, she finally showed a smile and said to herself, “So it seems that the rumor is actually true. Haha, the rumor is indeed true.”
In the end, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing, as if she was extremely excited.
Yang Kai frowned and asked suspiciously, “What does senior mean？”
“The founding of our Ice Heart Valley may not be dead!” Luo Li’s words were astonishing!
Yang Kai’s face changed, and Su Yan couldn’t help covering her small mouth with her little hand.
“Of course, this is just a possibility.” Luo Li smiled slightly. “After all, a figure as powerful as the master is impossible to fall easily. The classic of our Ice Heart Valley records that there is the Mysterious Frost Divine Sword left by the ancestor in the Good Fortune Cold Pool but there is no detailed record of whether the ancestor actually passed away. Since there is no virtual pronunciation of crystal of the ancestor in the cold pool, it means that she may still be alive.”
