Primordial Star Scripture - Chapter 996 - 946: Ice Pool, Snow Toad

Thinking about how Xueling Chan obtained four types of Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads, these two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Bloodwing Tribe were both envious and jealous.

Originally, they also possessed one type of Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads, but in the second, third, and fourth realms, they failed to acquire the other three top-level Nine Profound Threads.

Yet, right under their noses, Xueling Chan obtained them.

This comparison made them realize that in the competition for the Unsurpassed Divine Fire in the ancient temple, they had already lost ground to Xueling Chan.

Coupled with Xueling Chan’s formidable combat power, the two had given up on competing for the “Unsurpassed Divine Fire” and now only wanted to cooperate with Xueling Chan to get some benefits.

Their words of flattery were indeed well appreciated by Xueling Chan.

Xueling Chan smiled smugly and looked toward the vast sky of the fifth realm, “It’s not entirely true. For someone else to consecutively achieve what I did in acquiring all four types of Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads from different realms is nearly impossible. However, there is one person who could achieve this.”

“Who?” the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables beside Xueling Chan hastily asked.

Xueling Chan snorted coldly, “It’s none other than Blood Flying Yan, who came to the Ancient Forbidden Grounds with me.”

“Blood Flying Yan?” The two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables were shocked, “That woman can actually rival Daoist Ling Chan?!”

They recalled the cold woman who accompanied Xueling Chan. Previously, they only noted Blood Flying Yan’s cold demeanor but hadn’t realized her combat power could be so extraordinary!

“Hmph, Blood Flying Yan rarely shows herself, but like me, she was specially nurtured. From what I understand, her methods are far more ruthless and powerful than mine. If we’re talking about competing for the Unsurpassed Divine Fire, she might be my greatest opponent.”

Thinking of Blood Flying Yan, Xueling Chan’s expression turned grim.

Although both were from the Bloodwing Tribe, when it came to such a precious item as the Unsurpassed Divine Fire, he certainly wouldn’t give it up easily; he had to fight for it fiercely.

The two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Bloodwing Tribe couldn’t quite grasp Xueling Chan’s mindset. They laughed and said, “Regardless, both Daoist Ling Chan and Daoist Fei Yan are from our tribe. As long as the Unsurpassed Divine Fire ends up with our tribe, that’s fine. Just as long as those from the Nine Flames Clan don’t get it!”

The conversation among the three touched upon the Bloodwing Tribe, the Nine Flames Clan, the Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads, and Blood Flying Yan.

However, they never once mentioned Ye Chen.

They could never have imagined that Ye Chen, who they hadn’t paid any attention to, also obtained four types of Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads in the previous four realms!

They were even less aware that just as they were entering the fifth realm, Ye Chen had already found the key location in the fifth realm and was making efforts to acquire the fifth type of Nine-Spotted Nine Profound Threads!

The fifth realm was a world of snow-covered space.

As soon as Ye Chen entered this space, he received a message from the Nine Beasts Cauldron that the Exotic Beast corresponding to this fifth space was called the “Snowflame Toad.”

He must obtain the Beast Spirit of the “Snowflame Toad” in this fifth realm.

The Nine Profound Threads corresponding to the fifth realm were the “Silver Nine Profound Threads.”

After receiving this information from the “Nine Beasts Cauldron,” Ye Chen began his search for the “Snowflame Toad” and “Silver Nine Profound Threads” in the snow-covered space.

Yet, in this snow-filled world, he found nothing, complete silence.

Ye Chen searched for a long time and finally discovered a total of nine spaced-apart Ice Pools in this snow-covered world.

These nine Ice Pools increased in size from the edges toward the center.

The outermost Ice Pool was only a few zhang in diameter, a small pond with melting snow emitting cold air.

But the central Ice Pool was several hundred zhang wide, and the cold air emanating from this central Ice Pool was many times colder than the surrounding snowy landscape and the other Ice Pools!

Ye Chen noted that as he approached the center, the coldness of these nine Ice Pools became more terrifying; with his combat power, he could barely stand beside the central Ice Pool without freezing.

Ye Chen had a premonition that if it were any other average Upper Immortal Divine Venerable, they would likely freeze to death upon approaching the central Ice Pool!

The mere cold was enough to kill an Upper Immortal Divine Venerable, illustrating the horror of this Ice Pool.

Beneath the Ice Pool, there was likely even greater peril!

Upon discovering the nine Ice Pools, Ye Chen had a feeling that the “Snowflame Toad” and “Silver Nine Profound Threads” he’d been searching for were probably within these Ice Pools.

However, after observing the Ice Pools for a long time, Ye Chen still didn’t detect any movement from the “Snowflame Toad.” When Ye Chen tried using his Divine Sense to probe the inside of the Ice Pools, he was astonished to find that even with his Divine Soul having reached the “Blue Divine Soul” level, he couldn’t probe inside these Ice Pools at all.

Even for the marginal Ice Pool with the weakest cold, he was unable to explore its internal situation!

This left Ye Chen both surprised and intrigued.

“These nine ice pools surely contain some profound mysteries.”

Ye Chen pondered in his mind.

As Ye Chen was contemplating various ways to probe the ice pools, an anomaly occurred.

Bang.

Suddenly, from the ice pool in the center, a crisp sound was heard, followed by a ray of Divine Light shooting out from the ice pool, flying towards Ye Chen.

Startled, Ye Chen quickly used his Divine Sense to envelop the Divine Light, only to discover that the object flying towards him was a long wooden block.

On the long wooden block, many characters were inscribed.

Ye Chen then used his Divine Power to bind the long wooden block in the void, and proceeded to read the text on it.

After a few breaths, Ye Chen moved the wooden block into his hand with a thought.

Holding the wooden block, Ye Chen murmured, “So that’s how it is. No wonder I’ve been here for half a day and haven’t noticed any sign of the ‘Snowflame Toad’ or ‘Silver Nine Profound Threads’. It turns out that ‘Snowflame Toad’ only appears at special times.”

“Indeed, within these nine ice pools, there are ‘Snowflame Toads’ and ‘Silver Nine Profound Threads’!”

According to the instructions on the long wooden block, each of the nine ice pools hides nine levels of Silver Nine Profound Threads and nine levels of ‘Snowflame Toads’.

Only by slaying the lower-level ‘Snowflame Toads’ can their bodies be used to lure out the higher-level ‘Snowflame Toads’.

Of course, if one dares not confront the higher-level ‘Snowflame Toads’, then collecting the bodies of nine lower-level ‘Snowflame Toads’ would trigger the appearance of a Silver Nine Profound Thread within the corresponding ice pool.

Ye Chen’s goal is to obtain the nine-spotted Silver Nine Profound Threads.

According to the instructions on the block, the nine-spotted Silver Nine Profound Threads are in the central ice pool. The central pool is also the highest-level ice pool.

To acquire the nine-spotted Silver Nine Profound Threads, this implies not only needing to slay the lower-level ‘Snowflame Toads’ in the first eight ice pools, using their bodies to draw out the highest-level ‘Snowflame Toad’ in the central pool, but also having to kill at least nine highest-level ‘Snowflame Toads’ to trigger the appearance of the nine-spotted Silver Nine Profound Threads.

Initially, one must start by slaying the ‘Snowflame Toads’ from the lowest-level ice pool.

“The block says the ‘Snowflame Toad’ in the leftmost ice pool is the weakest, and this weakest ‘Snowflame Toad’ will only appear after the water in the leftmost ice pool completely turns silver.”

Ye Chen gazed towards the leftmost ice pool, noticing that the water inside was still a normal faintly transparent color, with no trace of silver.

“The block says that every three days, the color of the water in the leftmost ice pool changes. It seems that just before I arrived here, the color of the ice pool had just changed, so I’ll need to wait a while longer.”

Ye Chen began to wait by the leftmost ice pool.

More than half a day later, Ye Chen noticed a hint of silver light appearing in the corner of the leftmost ice pool, and the water was gradually turning silver.

This delighted Ye Chen, who had been waiting all this time.

“It looks like it will take just over a day for the water in the leftmost pool to completely turn silver.”

Finally witnessing the change in the pool water’s color, Ye Chen was in no hurry and continued to patiently wait.

However, Ye Chen was unaware that while he waited for the color of the leftmost ice pool to change, Xueling Chan and two other Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Blood Wing Clan, who had also entered the fifth location space, were gradually approaching the area with the ice pools where he was located after traversing extensive territories!

Meanwhile, in two other parallel spaces in the fifth location, one parallel space astonishingly had four people led by Blood Flying Yan of the Blood Wing Clan taking actions together, while the other parallel space had three Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Nine Flames Clan.

After the perilous excursions through the previous four locations, only eleven people, including Ye Chen, had entered the fifth location.

These eleven individuals were all formidable experts!

The others either perished in the previous four locations or exited the exploration area and were transported to the safe boundary.

As Xueling Chan’s group of three were closing in on Ye Chen in his parallel space, in the other two parallel spaces, Blood Flying Yan’s group and the three from the Nine Flames Clan were also gradually approaching their area with the nine ice pools.

And in the safe zone, when the last eleven individuals completely entered the fifth location, Cai Meng’er, Cai Xiao’er, and others in the safe zone noticed that a gigantic light screen appeared directly in the void of the safe zone.

The moment the light screen emerged, it flickered for an instant then quickly vanished.

Yet all personnel in the safe zone saw that the light screen indicated that only eleven people remained in the fifth location, and only eleven people still qualified to compete for the Unsurpassed Divine Fire in the Ancient Temple!
