Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1876 - 1858: Open Your Mouth
Fang Yan walked to the edge of the Cold Pool, reached out to touch the Cold Pond Water, and immediately found that although it was still ice-cold and piercing, it was much stronger than before, completely bearable for him. He smiled, and his Gang Qi burst forth, then he jumped off from the top of the Cold Pool.
When Fang Yan reached the bottom of the Cold Pool, he found that there was another world here. Opposite him was a cave, and inside the cave, there was a faint light. Only then did Fang Yan realize that the person wasn’t looking at the pool’s entrance and smiling, but at the entrance of the cave!
With curiosity, Fang Yan entered the cave, immediately attracted by the faint light within. As he walked deeper into the cave and saw what was emitting the light, he was truly stunned, never expecting to see such a thing here.
Profound Ice Jade Marrow!
In the Cold Pond Water, there was an insect composed of blue fragmented ice swimming around. Every place it passed, it emitted supernatural Cold Qi, making the Cold Pond Water even colder. Given enough time, the entire Cold Pool might restore to its previous state.
The Profound Ice Jade Marrow isn’t just any item; it’s a true heavenly treasure, essential for refining top-tier ice-attribute Dharma Treasure and sought after by all Artifact Refiners. Such a rare item is something every cultivator dreams of having, and Fang Yan couldn’t believe his luck today for encountering this.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fang Yan’s lips. The Profound Ice Jade Marrow is extremely cold and yin in nature. If encountered by others, it might be hard to subdue, but for him, it’s incredibly simple to subdue with his Extreme Cold Ice Fire.
He flicked his hand, and blue Ice Flame shot out from it. In an instant, the surrounding pond water seemed extremely afraid of the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, spreading out and forming a completely enclosed space, as even the Profound Ice Jade Marrow felt the danger and started darting away.
Yet the evolved Extreme Cold Ice Fire is inherently the nemesis of extremely cold items. Under Fang Yan’s influence, its effect was overwhelmingly powerful, sealing all escape routes of the Profound Ice Jade Marrow. Under Fang Yan’s command, it was encased in ice and became a crystal. This was all thanks to the evolution of the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, as otherwise, merely the low temperature of the external flame wouldn’t be enough to crystallize the Profound Ice Jade Marrow.
Once Fang Yan stored the Profound Ice Jade Marrow in his Space Ring, an unbelievable scene unfolded as the originally clear Cold Pond Water started to freeze rapidly, turning the entire pool into a solid chunk of ice, trapping Fang Yan inside.
At this moment, Fang Yan instantly understood the situation. The Cold Pond Water didn’t freeze because of the Profound Ice Jade Marrow’s emitted Cold Qi; now that he removed the Profound Ice Jade Marrow, it naturally froze right away. However, what puzzled Fang Yan was whether this Profound Ice Jade Marrow appeared naturally or was placed here artificially for cultivation, as the cave didn’t seem naturally formed, but rather man-made.
With this mystery in mind, Fang Yan directly used his Extreme Cold Ice Fire to carve an ice tunnel, proceeding along the tunnel to exit.
After leaving the ice tunnel and reaching the entrance where he first arrived, he saw not only the Ancient Ice Louse but also the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion at the entrance, prompting a smile on his lips. It seemed he was correct that this Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion was a clever Demon Beast, as it chased him all the way here.
"Master, you helped me breakthrough to the Demon Venerable Realm. Such great kindness leaves me indebted, so I’m here especially to express gratitude!" As soon as Fang Yan appeared, the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion respectfully bowed and said, deeply admiring Fang Yan’s magical means. He now realized one thing: Fang Yan was indeed as he imagined, far beyond common cultivators of the Human Immortal Realm, possessing an aura and temperament that surpass any cultivator.
"It’s nothing, just a trivial matter, don’t bother with it!" Fang Yan looked at the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion and waved his hand, saying calmly. It was indeed nothing, just a matter of an elixir to him, not worth thanking him for.
"Master, if you need the assistance of the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion in the future, I will definitely give my utmost effort." Seeing Fang Yan speak so casually, the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion grew even more interested in him, replying with a smile. After all, he was a Demon Beast of the Demon Venerable Realm, and his favor was extremely valuable. Yet Fang Yan dismissed it, which deeply impressed the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion, making him admire Fang Yan profoundly, choosing his words carefully before speaking.
Upon hearing what the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion said, Fang Yan waved his hand with a smile on his face, truly indifferent to it. If he cared about it, he wouldn’t have helped the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion breakthrough. But suddenly, the voice of the Ancient Ice Louse came...
"Mas...Master, could you also let me ascend to the Demon Venerable Realm? I’ve been here for countless years now..." Despite having reached the Demon Immortal Realm, the Ancient Ice Louse couldn’t take human form, causing him distress. He earnestly hoped to reach the Demon Venerable Realm to perhaps transform into a human shape.
Upon hearing the Ancient Ice Louse’s request, a smile appeared on Fang Yan’s lips before he said, "Open your mouth!"
The Ancient Ice Louse was startled by Fang Yan’s words, unsure of the meaning, but instinctively opened its mouth. As soon as it did, something flew into its mouth, causing immediate anxiety without understanding what Fang Yan meant.
"Quickly use your demonic power to dissolve it!"
Standing beside, the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion immediately transmitted this advice to the Ancient Ice Louse. Upon this reminder, the Ancient Ice Louse recalled what the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion had told him before, wasting no time in fully circulating its Demon Energy to dissolve the elixir’s power. It now knew Fang Yan indeed gave him an elixir to help him breakthrough to the Demon Venerable Realm!
White Cold Qi steamed from the Ancient Ice Louse, enveloping it like mist. As time passed, the mist-covered area grew larger until it covered several dozen feet, finally coming to a halt.
At this point, Fang Yan could see a smile on his face, as the Ancient Ice Louse had begun attacking the bottleneck and should breakthrough soon. He had destroyed the Ancient Ice Louse’s nest but was assisting it to breakthrough, which was quite fair.
Indeed, both the Ancient Ice Louse and the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion managed to breakthrough with just one elixir because they had long been stuck at their bottleneck due to talent issues. The elixir Fang Yan provided was refined during his time in Heaven Demon Forest, meant to explode Demon Energy instantly, thus allowing both demon beasts to breakthrough naturally.
Seeing the Ancient Ice Louse evolving, Fang Yan felt there was nothing else pressing, suddenly recalling the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion, moved beside it.
"Is there anything peculiar on this level, or any formidable demon beasts?"
"Master, I’ve told you everything I knew, but once this guy breaks through, he should know."
"He should know?"
"Yes, this guy is very fast, and he likes to run around aimlessly when idle. Don’t be fooled by his appearance; most demon beasts are quite afraid of him!"
"Because he’s fast, huh? He can beat others and just run; no demon beast in this layer can catch him."
"Who knew this guy was so interesting!"
"Master, it’s a pity I can’t leave this Ice Abyss, otherwise I’d really want to follow you to explore the world outside."
"This is indeed an issue. Perhaps when I have time to research, I might find a way for you to leave here."
"Ah... Is that true?"
"Don’t get too hopeful; I’m just saying. Until understanding why you survive in this extreme environment, this issue remains unsolvable."
"No... No worries! As long as Master considers it, we’re already immensely grateful!"
"By the way, the Ancient Ice Louse mentioned before, about an Ice Bear here, what’s that about?"
"That Ice Bear? Oh... I remember; it..."
...
As the Ancient Ice Louse was breaking through, Fang Yan chatted with the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion. From the conversation, Fang Yan learned that all demon beasts in the Ice Abyss have been here since birth, and none of them knows why they were born here. Despite the extreme environment, none died from cold, and they naturally cultivated through the pain until now.
Moreover, Fang Yan discovered from the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion that the ice bear in this layer is actually the Myriad Ice Heaven Devouring Beast, strictly speaking not an Ice Bear, but rather an unnamed demon beast similar to one. It’s fiercely violent, and all beings entering its territory get slaughtered. According to the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion, its precise realm is unknown, estimated conservatively to be in the Demon Venerable Realm, reigning as the undisputed overlord of this layer, feared by all...
Unbeknownst to them, time passed as Fang Yan and the Ice Armor Cold Emperor Scorpion continued their chat, while the Ancient Ice Louse remained in its previous state.
