Chapter 52: The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, Plans to Condense the Origin spirit ring
Early morning at the Earth Dragon Sect; sunlight filtered through the hollowed-out window lattice, casting its glow upon Lin Sheng's slightly pale face.
He was currently feeling a faint pulse at the center of his brow.
It was the rhythm of his newly awakened third Three-Tomoe Sharingan adapting to this powerful Physical Body.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A light and hurried knocking interrupted Lin Sheng's contemplation.
"Hey, freak inside, I heard you're awake?"
The door was pushed open.
A long-haired girl wearing a light blue martial outfit poked her head in.
She was extremely beautiful.
Between her brows was an undisguised air of heroism and cuteness; it was Sect Master Nan Shuisui's only daughter, Nan Qiuqiu.
Seeing Lin Sheng sit up...
Nan Qiuqiu appeared very familiar; she walked into the room brazenly, arms crossed, sizing up Lin Sheng.
"I heard from my mother; you are incredibly bold, daring to sneak into the Evil Soul Master's base all by yourself?"
"That's a place even my mother has to be wary of; not only did you blow it flat, but you also dragged your half-dead body out alive."
Nan Qiuqiu gave Lin Sheng a thumbs up.
"Amazing, are you a monster?"
Lin Sheng looked at this overly lively girl, his eyes remaining indifferent.
Having experienced too much bloodshed and hatred...
A towering iceberg had long been built within his heart; only a slightly upturned corner of his mouth counted as a polite response.
"I was just lucky to have saved my life."
Nan Qiuqiu wasn't annoyed.
Instead, she chattered incessantly by Lin Sheng's bedside about the recent rumors in Dragon City, until finally, she slapped her forehead suddenly.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."
"Let's formally meet; my name is Nan Qiuqiu."
"Lin Sheng."
The youth's voice was as cool and clear as spring water.
"Lin Sheng... the name is quite pleasant to the ear."
Nan Qiuqiu chuckled, then noticed the fleeting fatigue in Lin Sheng's eyes, and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Well, my mother said you still need to rest, so I won't disturb you; I'm leaving now!"
Watching the girl's back as she left like the wind, Lin Sheng shook his head and got up, walking out of the room.
...
Unknowingly, Lin Sheng arrived at the backyard of the Earth Dragon Sect.
It was overgrown with weeds; it seemed people didn't often come here.
In a secluded corner stood an extremely ancient dry well emitting a cold aura.
"Lin Sheng! This is it! Stop!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's voice suddenly rose in his Sea of Consciousness, revealing an almost greedy excitement.
"I can feel it! That scent... it's Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow! Absolutely right! Hidden beneath this dry well is a massive ice-attribute Treasure Trove!"
Lin Sheng steadied himself.
Feeling the residual power of the dragon core within his body that had not yet been completely refined.
The extreme rigidity and Yang of the dragon core were subtly opposing the Ultimate Ice within him; if he could absorb this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow...
Not only could it neutralize the dry heat of the dragon core, perhaps...
"If I can borrow this power, perhaps I won't need to hunt a Spirit Beast; I can urge my Ice Pupil Origin to condense my fifth spirit ring."
Lin Sheng said in a deep voice.
This was a bold attempt, but Lin Sheng was willing to try!
"It's feasible."
Ice Empress's voice also revealed a hint of anticipation.
"The Profound Ice Marrow is inherently an Origin crystal of the ice attribute; for your second Origin, it is the best tonic."
Electrolux also nodded slowly.
"Sacred guidance combined with Ultimate Ice; the chance of success is over ninety percent."
"But this... is the Earth Dragon Sect's place after all."
Lin Sheng activated his Sharingan, perceiving the flow of Ultimate Ice attribute elements below.
"In there... without the attribute of Ultimate Ice, one cannot enter."
A gentle voice came from behind.
Sect Master Nan Shuisui had quietly stood under the corridor at some point, looking at the dry well with a complex expression...
"There is indeed a fortuitous encounter inside, but unable to withstand the erosion of that extreme cold, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to truly reach the very bottom."
Lin Sheng turned around, looking directly at Sect Master Nan Shuisui.
"Sect Master Nan, I have a way to get in."
Sect Master Nan Shuisui was silent for a moment.
She naturally knew what kind of precious Treasure Trove was hidden under this well; in normal times, she would never allow an outsider to lay a hand on it...
But thinking of Lin Sheng destroying the Evil Soul Master stronghold alone.
Indirectly saving her and the entire Dragon City, and remembering the shadows brought by the Nether Thunder Douluo...
"Since you have a way, we naturally won't stop you."
Sect Master Nan Shuisui smiled freely.
"The things inside, the Earth Dragon Sect can't get them anyway; rather than letting it be buried here, it's better to give it to you as a favor."
"Consider it... the Earth Dragon Sect's and my personal gratitude to you."
Lin Sheng knew...
The reason Sect Master Nan Shuisui was so generous was largely because he had eradicated Nether Thunder's forces.
After all, she was unwilling to directly face Nether Thunder.
He didn't decline any further and walked towards the dry well.
"Hoo..."
Lin Sheng stood at the edge of the well, took a deep breath, and his Mangekyo eyes opened instantly.
"Dojutsu, Insight Replication!"
His gaze instantly pierced through the thick rock layers and Restrictions.
In his eyes.
Those chaotic Seal circuits were disassembled into primitive spirit power nodes.
At the same time, the third one at the center of his brow...
Three-Tomoe Sharingan, activate!
"Ultimate Ice, simulate!"
Lin Sheng covered his whole body with the Ice Empress's Origin aura, making his spirit power instantly become of the same Origin as the cold air under the well.
His body slowly faded.
As if turning into a wisp of blue aurora, it easily passed through the Restriction layer capable of freezing a Spirit Saint to pieces.
He leaped directly into the pitch-black depths of the dry well.
Sect Master Nan Shuisui watched the disappearing back at the wellhead, unable to help but whisper: "This child's Spirit..."
"Is it not too powerful?"
"The Body Sect has truly obtained a Disciple with outstanding talent!"
...
"Boom—!"
As the depth of the descent increased...
The surrounding rock walls gradually disappeared, replaced by large patches of huge, crystal-clear ice crystals.
When Lin Sheng's feet landed, he was completely shocked by the scene before him.
"This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave?!"
This was a huge underground karst cave; thousands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice pillars, like stalactites, hung down from the top, emitting a soft and holy blue light.
The temperature here had dropped to a terrifying level.
If not for Lin Sheng possessing the Ultimate Ice Origin, plus the Sharingan's replication of elements, placing him in a kind of...
Near-vacuum zone!
He would likely have turned into an ice sculpture the moment he landed.
And in the very center of the karst cave...
Dozens of holes, as thick as a baby's arm, flowing with viscous liquid-like ice crystals, were emitting an alluring fragrance.
"This is... Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!"
Tianmeng Iceworm had already impatiently crawled out, looking at those pools of liquid, so excited he was about to cry.
"Lin Sheng, we're rich! With these..."
"For you, this is a great tonic!!!"
Lin Sheng felt the third Sharingan at the center of his brow stirring, as well as the final boiling of the dragon core energy within his body.
He sat cross-legged by the Profound Ice pool.
"Then... let the evolution begin."
