Chapter 257 Finding the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm
With the alliance formed between the two sides, the Snow Empress arranged for all the soul beasts in the far north to search for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, while the Ice Empress returned to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to confirm whether any of her clansmen had seen the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Yang Podi also discussed with the people around him some precautions regarding the future alliance, especially the retreat route in case of attack on Almo Mountain, and even some plans for the construction of the academy.
After the communication was almost over, Yang Tianyue's cheeks were a little puffed up with anger. Yang Tianyue had put a lot of effort into organizing this battle, but halfway through, the target soul beast actually became her ally. How could she not be disappointed?
"Brother, I think the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor you mentioned are pretty good. Why don't you make them my spirit rings?"
Yang Podi tapped Yang Tianyue on the head: "You little brat, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress are both young girls, why are you always thinking about making them your spirit rings? Can't you think a little further ahead?"
"Besides, you should also consider the situation of our Tianxing Academy. Xue Di and the others are our neighbors, especially since they can control all the soul beasts in the far north. You don't want countless soul beasts to attack our Tianxing Academy, do you?"
"Besides, what you mainly need right now is a water-attribute soul ring. Although ice-attribute soul beasts can be said to be an extension of the water attribute, they are still different in the end. You will probably still have to go to the ocean to find soul beasts."
In fact, Yang Podi had other considerations. The attitude of the people in the God Realm towards the Soul Beast race has always been unclear. In the original work, the Asura God and the Sea God knew Tang San and Xiao Wu's identities, but still decisively gave their godhood to Tang San. It can be seen that these two gods are still biased towards the Soul Beasts.
Besides, he knew he would eventually have to confront the Star Dou Great Forest, so having more allies and multiple escape routes was always a good thing.
Hearing Yang Podi's words, Yang Tianyue gradually fell into thought, and finally she seemed to understand: "Brother, although we've killed quite a few 100,000-year-old soul beasts, you don't still want to live peacefully with the soul beast race, do you?"
Yang Podi simply smiled and asked, "Tian Yue, what kind of god do you think the Sea God is?"
Yang Tianyue thought about it carefully before speaking: "I think the Sea God is a very powerful, benevolent, and tolerant god."
Yang Podi nodded: "What you said is very good. Although your affinity with the Sea God is sufficient now, you also need to understand the Sea God on a deeper level, understand the Sea God's past, and understand the specific function of the Sea God's light on your trident. Otherwise, you will have a very difficult time in the final test."
"Brother, according to you, the Sea God really trusts soul beasts?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "It's not just a matter of trust. The Sea God is the ruler of the entire ocean, and all marine life is his follower, including all Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts. Don't forget that Xiaobai is also a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, but he became the Sea God's mount. In addition, in the ocean, the number of Sea Soul Beasts far exceeds that of Sea Soul Masters. If you really want to become the Sea God, in addition to absolute strength, you also need to receive the power of faith from the entire ocean."
Yang Tianyue asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother, what is the power of faith? Why haven't you told me about it before?"
"The power of faith is the power composed of the faith of all living beings in a great soul master. Back then, the first Angel God of the Spirit Hall was saved by pacifying the entire Douluo Continent and relying on the power of faith of everyone. The Sea God is somewhat similar, but he relied on the power of faith of all marine life. So you need to slowly understand what the Sea God has done in the past."
Yang Podi carefully reviewed the original work and found that even after Tang San became a god, he still referred to himself as the Sea God. It was obvious that he wanted to use the position of the Sea God to absorb the power of faith on Douluo Star. This shows that the power of faith is not only powerful, but also has infinite effects.
Five days passed, and Xue Di seemed to be at a loss. All the soul beasts in the far north were searching, but they couldn't find a trace of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It was as if Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had never appeared at all.
However, upon hearing Xue Di's words, Yang Podi felt even more confident. This at least proved that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was still in the far north and had not been captured by the Star Dou Great Forest.
Meanwhile, the Ice Emperor brought good news. According to the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, Ice Jade Scorpions did indeed chase after Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mysteriously disappeared during the chase, and since then, there has been no news of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the entire far north.
Yang Podi then led everyone to the place where the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had disappeared.
This is an ice field, surrounded by snow and ice, and there doesn't seem to be any human presence here. There isn't even any soul power fluctuation around.
Yang Podi raised his mental power to the limit, but there was no soul power fluctuation in any of the ice layers, which was completely unlike the appearance of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Yang Podi pondered carefully: He was only at the demigod level, while the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was a true level 100 divine beast. Theoretically, its soul power level was higher than his own, and it could even be said that its entire body was filled with divine power.
Moreover, he had been missing for countless years without being discovered by any soul beasts, and had been eating and sleeping all these years, which shows that this ice cave must have been hidden very deeply, or perhaps it had been covered up long ago.
Yang Podi took out the Asura Demon Sword and poured all his soul power into it, becoming like a god.
Yang Podi himself could not sense the existence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but the Asura Demon Sword could definitely sense it, after all, it was a super artifact.
At that moment, a faint fluctuation of divine power seemed to emanate from beneath the ice. This fluctuation was so subtle that even a god would have difficulty sensing it, let alone a human soul master.
Yang Podi was overjoyed. As long as he could sense something, it meant that the Dream Ice Silkworm was under the ice layer.
Yang Podi addressed the crowd around him, "Let's start digging. Let's break through this ice layer. There's definitely something good down there."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. This far north was covered in millennia-old ice, which could be considered the ultimate ice. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary soul masters to break through it, and now Yang Podi wanted to dig open the entire ice layer.
However, after hearing these words, everyone did not hesitate and started digging.
Yang Podi himself also summoned his martial spirit, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and began to dig deeper into the ice layer.
It was tough on these beast soul masters, especially Mom, Grandpa, and Dugu Bo. Although the three of them were all titled Douluo, they were also beast soul masters and were not really suited to digging for anything.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Tianyue, the younger sister, was immediately filled with confidence and began to slowly break through the ice layer with the Trident of Poseidon.
It must be said that the Trident of Poseidon was indeed very useful. In Yang Tianyue's hands, it weighed only 108 jin, but when used on the ice, it weighed 108,000 jin, making it extremely fast at digging ice, completely comparable to the excavators of later generations.
Seeing Yang Tianyue's excited expression, Yang Podi was speechless. This girl must have graduated from Lanxiang Vocational School, right? Why is she so excited about digging? If the Sea God knew that his Trident had become a digging artifact, wouldn't he be furious?
Moving around in the far north is indeed very difficult. In addition to facing the extreme cold that is close to the extreme of ice, there are also various harsh weather conditions. Sometimes, just a gust of cold wind can almost freeze everyone.
After five days of digging, the ice layer was gradually being broken through. This excavation covered several thousand meters. If it weren't for a group of titled Douluo coming to dig, and Yang Tianyue bringing a divine artifact, they might not have been able to break through.
Just as the ice city was about to be breached, Yang Podi immediately told everyone to stop, and that they had to be extra careful about what was to come.
As the only million-year-old soul beast in the entire Douluo Continent, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, although relatively weak, is not so easy to deal with.
Especially now, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is at its strongest, particularly in terms of mental power, which is probably even greater than mine. Moreover, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm clan has an extremely strong ability to disguise itself. Back then, Huo Yuhao relied on its ability to disguise himself to deceive a Title Douluo at the Great Soul Master level.
In addition, there is the remains left behind by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm when it broke through to a million years old. This is something that can instantly kill the Ice Emperor. If you are not careful, you will suffer a big fall.
When they reached the last few dozen meters, everyone else stopped digging, leaving only Yang Podi to quietly dig with the Soul-Breaking Spear, trying not to make any fluctuations in soul power or any noise.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were both astonished, because they could sense an extremely strong aura beneath the ice. This aura was not only that of a powerful soul beast, but also a powerful ice-attribute aura. This should be the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow, which was a top-grade treasure even for the Snow Empress.
With a final, crisp sound, the entire ice layer was pierced through, and an extremely terrifying aura of a soul beast emanated from below the border city. This aura even far surpassed that of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.
At the same time, a powerful life force emanated from it, which should be the unique aura of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, making it a true treasure.
Yang Podi exerted his mental power to the extreme and finally found an ice silkworm in a crevice in the ice city.
This ice silkworm has a round, plump head, over a meter in diameter, and a body length exceeding seven meters. Its entire body is white jade-colored, crystal clear, with a shimmering glow beneath its skin. On its head are a pair of small, glittering golden eyes. Starting half a meter from its head, there are ten golden rings encircling it at intervals, from head to tail.
It seems this must be the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. After going through so much trouble, we finally found it.
When the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor saw the ten golden runes on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and especially the terrifying aura emanating from it, they were greatly shocked. They never imagined that this Ice Silkworm had truly reached the level of a million-year-old being.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm seemed completely unaware of the danger around it. Instead, it was fast asleep, even swallowing something in its mouth with drool dripping from its lips.
Yang Podi arranged for everyone to guard the cave entrance to prevent the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from escaping, while he himself would sneak up and prepare to capture the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in one fell swoop.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been sleeping, seemed to have changed. Its entire figure became illusory, and a huge cocoon seemed to come down from the sky, trying to trap Yang Podi.
At the same time, a loud laugh echoed from the sky: "Kid, you've been tricked! Do you think your brother Tianmeng is so easy to catch?"
I made a slight change here, writing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as a million-year-old soul beast, and also made a slight difference of an hour, placing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the far north.
