Chapter 927: Chapter 794: Ice Spring, Peak Emperor Spiritual Energy (chapter number corrected)
The entire Ice Palace appeared almost transparent, revealing its splendid structure.
In the very center of the Ice Palace, there should be the Great Hall, which was similar to the Holy Temple of Soul Hall. There were sacred stairs leading to the top of the hall, which resembled a scaled-down Divine Altar. Above the altar, there was a book!
This book had ice sculpted recognition walls, and it was not meant for browsing. It was carved entirely from ice.
Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi could both sense that the Spiritual Origin came from the location of the ice book. Without any hesitation, the two walked through the crystal-clear palace and climbed the stairs.
The Ice Book was opened halfway, and the ancient spell was carved onto the ice crystal gem-like pages.
As for ancient languages, Chu Mu was always out of his depth, and it required someone who was good at spells, seals, and totems to decipher them. Thinking about this, Chu Mu couldn’t help but remember Bai Jinrou, who was carried away by Bai Yu.
Bai Jinrou seemed to be an expert in that field, but sadly she was in eternal slumber. Although her body and soul were preserved forever by decay, life’s spirit in the world was almost nowhere to be found. Even if Bai Yu returned to her human form, she would likely walk with an obsession…
“Can you read it?” Seeing Chu Mu lost in thought, Mu Qingyi asked.
Chu Mu shook his head. Did his daydreaming appearance look like he was deciphering text?
Since Mu Qingyi asked, it meant she couldn’t decipher it either. If they needed to decipher the text to obtain the Legacy Power, their two-month-long exploration would be somewhat unworthy.
“Zin~~~~~~~~~”
“Zin Zin~~~~~~~~~”
At this moment, the Wind-binding Spirit in Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space made an excited sound, asking to fly out of the space.
“Can you understand it?” Chu Mu was a bit surprised and quickly summoned the Wind-binding Spirit to his side.
Qin landed on the Ice Book and then emitted a string of sounds that Chu Mu couldn’t understand at all.
At this moment, Chu Mu found that several lines of the language symbols in the Ice Book started shining. Moreover, these languages, symbols, and seals floated up from the Ice Book, like conscious littles creatures, suspending themselves beside Qin.
Seeing Chu Mu’s Spirit, and as the small creatures swirled around Qin’s body, Mu Qingyi seemed to think of something and began intoning a spell as well.
Chu Mu glanced at the summoning pattern of Mu Qingyi and was surprised to find that she was actually summoning one of the Seven Holy Pets of Soul Hall – the Misty Immortal Bird!
It was a high-level Emperor Misty Immortal Bird, with a holy and pure appearance, soft and elegant, and a mesmerizing gaze that resembled a young girl. It gave off a gentle yet intelligent impression.
“It seems you have a preference for Winged Soul Pets.” Chu Mu was just a little surprised, but did not find it unbelievable that Mu Qingyi had a Misty Immortal Bird.
The Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts were not only found within the Seven Holy Lands. There were also wild Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts.
“It seems that this Ice Palace really belongs to the relics of your Soul Hall.” Mu Qingyi said.
Since only the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts could decode the symbols, it proved that this place was probably a Holy Land of Soul Hall.
Of course, this was only a conjecture. The existence of this palace might even be older than the rise of Soul Hall!
Chu Mu only had one Seven Diagram Sacred Beast and he couldn’t compete with Mu Qingyi for the other part of the Legacy Power.
As a matter of fact, Qin had already once obtained a legacy from a Holy Pet. It was the Ancient Will, which allowed it to never be interrupted while releasing Wind type skills and doubled the power of its Wind element abilities. Though Qin was currently at the low-level Emperor Rank, its strength was close to that of an intermediate Emperor rank, which was the result of the Ancient Will.
Now it appeared that Qin had deciphered the mysterious power of this Ice Palace relic and would have yet another kind of racial power, though its strength wouldn’t soar dramatically.
“It seems like it will take a long time. Shall we go and check out other places?” Chu Mu saw that Qin had been suspended for two hours already, while Mu Qingyi’s Misty Immortal Bird was also doing the same.
“Hmm.” Mu Qingyi nodded. The two seemed to have developed a shadow in their hearts regarding the long time it had taken.
This time, Mu Qingyi walked behind Chu Mu, and as she looked at him, her eyes were filled with doubt.
Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi found the ice spring filled with enormous spiritual energy at a lower part of the Ice Palace!
The entire ice spring had signs of external flow. It seemed to have infiltrated the underground ice, which then diffused throughout the Ice Mirror World. It might be the reason why the entire Ice Mirror World was filled with enough spiritual energy to allow an intermediate Emperor to advance to a high-level Emperor.
“White Tiger!” Mu Qingyi spoke her spell and summoned her Ice attribute White Tiger next to the ice spring.
Seeing the White Tiger appear, Chu Mu was stunned and asked in surprise, “Isn’t your White Tiger guarding above the ground?”
Chu Mu clearly remembered that when he and Mu Qingyi flew into the Abyssal Well, Mu Qingyi left the White Tiger on the ground waiting. Could it be that Mu Qingyi had two White Tigers?
“I recalled it when I entered the cavern,” Mu Qingyi said.
“Recalled?” Chu Mu was still puzzled. The ground was at least ten kilometers away from the cavern beneath the Abyssal Well. Normally, the distance for a Soul Pet Master to retrieve their Soul Pet was only about a thousand meters. How did Mu Qingyi retrieve her Soul Pet?
Seeing Chu Mu’s still puzzled and astonished face, Mu Qingyi chuckled and said, “This should be considered a Soul Skill. The higher the Soul Sense, the farther the distance to recall Soul Pets… This, is not passed on.”
“Alright,” Chu Mu smiled bitterly. He admitted that he really wanted to ask for advice, but it was a pity that his intentions had been seen through.
Being able to recall Soul Pets from a distance of ten kilometers was definitely a very practical Soul Skill!
Like when the Ice-Feathered Spirit fought the Blizzard Demon earlier, if Chu Mu had mastered this Soul Skill, he could have recited the spell from a distance and recalled the Ice-Feathered Spirit back into the Soul Pet Space the moment it was in danger. It would have been sufficient to save the Soul Pet’s life at a critical moment.
Mu Qingyi indeed didn’t pass on this Soul Skill, but she also didn’t keep it exclusively for herself. All of her seven disciples had this ability. Unfortunately, many battles were instantaneous, and they couldn’t respond accurately enough to recall their Soul Pets in time.
“This person doesn’t seem to know how to ask someone for advice?” Mu Qingyi glanced at Chu Mu and thought to herself.
Mu Qingyi originally intended to take Chu Mu as a disciple. Even if Chu Mu was unwilling, Mu Qingyi wouldn’t mind making friends with someone so promising and teaching him this Soul Skill. However, when she said it wasn’t passed on, he didn’t pursue it any further. He really was a man whose pride was greater than his shamelessness.
While Mu Qingyi thought this, Chu Mu had another thought. He stared at the ice spring and muttered to himself: Before killing her, I must force her to hand over this Soul Skill!
Mu Qingyi’s White Tiger sniffed at the surface of the ice spring, then raised its head and shook its plump, chubby face.
“Not suitable?” Mu Qingyi showed a disappointed expression.
The White Tiger had already reached the bottleneck of the Emperor Level. The energy of the Spiritual Origin was indeed vast and dense, but spiritual energy was just that. No matter how concentrated it was, it couldn’t possibly let the White Tiger break through from Emperor level to the Dominator Level.
“These are yours,” Mu Qingyi said indifferently to Chu Mu without looking at the ice spring again.
“Your Highness is indeed generous…” Chu Mu smiled faintly. The concentration of this Spiritual Origin was enough to create an Ice Element Peak Emperor, and with a 100% success rate!
All Chu Mu had to do next was to give Ning more opportunities to train and slowly strengthen her with the vast spiritual energy from the ice spring. And then, Ning would be born as a Peak Emperor Level!
“You change your titles quite timely,” Mu Qingyi finished speaking and walked with the White Tiger to a different area.
At her level, she was too lazy to care about whether other’s address was respectful or not. But Chu Mu’s change of address allowed Mu Qingyi to know more about this man, who clearly had an ulterior motive.
Watching Mu Qingyi’s departing figure, Chu Mu’s joyful face gradually turned cold and his eyes filled with doubt.
As a matter of fact, when the White Tiger was about to enjoy the ice spring just now, Chu Mu had been preparing to make a move.
Such a Spirit Item, which could create a Peak Emperor Level, was difficult to find even when Chu Mu followed Mu Qingyi for so long. Hiding in such an Ice Palace, it demonstrated how rare Peak Emperor Level Spirit Items were.
Even if Mu Qingyi didn’t give it away, Chu Mu would have stolen it. However, her generosity seemed illogical.
Such Spirit Items were not easy for Mu Qingyi to obtain. In the entire human domain, there were only a few people who owned a Peak Emperor Level. Even if Mu Qingyi did not need it, she could use it for her disciples or expand her own power. Moreover, who could ever think they had too many Spirit Items? When one was a High-level Psychic Soul Emperor, the total number of Soul Contracts was 15!
As Chu Mu wondered, he put the ice spring into his Space Ring and carefully stored it. To resolve the doubt in his heart, Chu Mu quickly caught up with Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi had changed her clothes again to a goose-yellow waist-tied long gown. Her elegant stride made the enchanting figure less flirtatious than an ordinary woman, instead possessing more refinement and dignity. Her hair was left loose and scattered behind her, just reaching her waist.
Such beauty was difficult to associate with an invincible Female War Goddess. Yet, those who had seen her audacious side, like Chu Mu, knew that this woman hid a terrifying determination and aggressiveness beneath her quiet facade!
“Not all of these are for you; remember to give half to Young Master Teng,” Mu Qingyi, without turning her head, reminded Chu Mu.
“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded.
Everything here should belong to Teng Lang. Chu Mu didn’t feel good about taking it all. The concentration of this Spiritual Origin should be enough for Ning to reach the Peak Emperor Level, even if he split it in half and had Ning Man’er’s nurturing effect.
