Blue Silver Emperor
Chapter 84 Blue Silver Emperor
After Dugu Bo left, life in the courtyard returned to normal.
Shui Ningbing still noticed the anomaly in Shui Bing'er's martial soul. The reason was that during the practical training, when Shui Bing'er activated her martial soul, Shui Ningbing, whose soul power was currently at level 86, actually felt a considerable suppression from the martial soul. Later, she slowly learned the whole story from Shui Bing'er and Shen Hanyu, and also came into contact with the precise concept of ultimate ice for the first time.
Shui Ningbing's martial soul is the Water Condensing Flying Phoenix, which is considered a lower-level martial soul of the Ice Phoenix. She has the bloodline of the phoenix in her body and can barely step into the level of top-level beast martial souls. In today's continent, she is only at the bottom of the pyramid.
One point that must be mentioned is the cultivation speed of Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu.
Soul Masters with ultimate attributes have a particularly slow cultivation speed between levels 30 and 70. This is one of the few drawbacks of ultimate martial souls. The compensation for the slow cultivation is that the combat power of ultimate soul masters is generally far higher than that of ordinary attribute soul masters of the same level.
For example, given Shui Bing'er's talent, she could have broken through three or four levels in a year at the Soul Venerable level. But at her current rate, without other external factors, three levels in a year would be the absolute maximum.
The cultivation of a Soul Master becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. If this pace continues, Shen Hanyu might even think that Shui Bing'er would rather not have this so-called ultimate ice.
Shen Liuyu is doing well. Her martial soul is a top-tier beast martial soul with both water and earth attributes. It is first-class in terms of development prospects and martial soul strength. Moreover, she is not bound by extreme attributes, and with the strengthening and transformation of her body by two top-tier immortal herbs, she can cultivate as smoothly as a fish in water, with almost no barriers.
Shen Hanyu himself did not feel that the extreme attribute slowed down his progress. He had too many opportunities along the way, so many that he hardly needed to work hard to cultivate and his cultivation level would rise rapidly. Not to mention that he was also a cultivation fanatic.
So far, Shui Bing'er has not shown any negative emotions, nor has she been troubled by the continuously decreasing cultivation speed. She continues to study and cultivate diligently every day, just like the neighbor's child that some adults used to talk about in her previous life.
Shen Liuyu continued to do things her own way. She didn't feel any urgency about cultivation because Shen Hanyu would worry about her, and he would always remember her if he had any good things. Her subconscious thought was to stick close to her arrogant older brother. She had a feeling that even if she had to maintain a minimum cultivation level, it wouldn't be too bad.
This can be considered a different kind of "lying down" attitude.
Shuiyue'er is also very dedicated to cultivation. She has the personality of playing hard when it's time to play, but absolutely not playing when it's time to cultivate.
……
Shen Hanyu stayed quietly in Element City for about half a month.
He met Xu Yan and the other three women twice more. Qin Ya did not come with him, but she brought Shen Hanyu a valuable gift, which Shen Hanyu accepted without hesitation.
On a bright and sunny morning, Shen Hanyu left a letter and decisively spread his dragon wings, soaring into the sky and flying towards the distance.
He was preparing to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone that he had been eyeing for a long time, since without this soul bone, "changing clothes" in the future would be more troublesome.
Following the directions on the map, Shen Hanyu spent almost a day entering the territory of Fasno Province.
The climate here is much warmer than in Element City, with almost no harsh weather. Below, there are vast mountains and forests and wide, neat farmlands. The surrounding paths are intertwined with streams, and the roadside is lush with flowers and plants. Many waterwheels are in operation, and many ordinary people are working in the fields.
If he had to give a proper evaluation, Shen Hanyu would call this place a paradise that exists amidst the mortal world.
Midway through, Shen Hanyu inquired about the location of Notting City, and then flew towards Notting City without stopping.
Although Notting City is not considered a large city in the Fasno Province, it is very close to the border with the Star Luo Empire, and is naturally one of the starting points for trade between merchants of the two empires, making Notting City extremely prosperous.
As for Holy Soul Village, it was even easier to find. After arriving in Notting City, Shen Hanyu casually inquired and learned about Emperor Soul Village, King Soul Village, and even a village directly called Soul Palace...
How should I evaluate this name? It's a good name, but I wonder how many elders and protectors reside within it…
…………
This is a village that's neither too big nor too small.
From a high altitude, the village appears to be of a moderate size. In front of the village are vast farmlands, and behind them are some low, lush, and verdant hills.
Shen Hanyu had no interest in wandering around such a small village. Although Tang Hao should have been long gone from Holy Soul Village by now, who could say for sure? What if Tang Hao suddenly came back for a couple of days? Although Tang Hao had many health problems, you couldn't deny that he was quite imposing when he swung his hammer. After all, he was a level 95 Super Douluo with a top-tier weapon spirit, and the Clear Sky Hammer at full power could even threaten level 97 or 98 Super Douluos…
Shen Hanyu has no intention of accepting the hammer yet, so it's best not to alarm Tang Hao.
To put it simply, be stealthy, and don't shoot!
According to his memories, Shen Hanyu only remembered that the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor A Yin and the soul bone were buried in a cave behind a waterfall. With such a large feature as a waterfall, it was not difficult to find. After all, the mountains and forests behind it were not that big, and it was easy to find them by following the river.
Shen Hanyu slowly descended and flew gently in the low sky. Although the trees in the forest were lush, they did not affect his flight. Before long, Shen Hanyu found a gently flowing stream.
A faint sound of flowing water came from afar. Shen Hanyu's eyes lit up, and with a flap of his wings, he quickly arrived at a waterfall of moderate size.
Passing through the cascading water, behind them lay a deep, dark cave, its entrance marked by a barely noticeable soul-power restriction.
Upon reaching out and touching the seemingly flimsy barrier, Shen Hanyu was jolted back two steps as if electrocuted.
Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his third spirit ring lit up, and the Frost Heaven Spear, carrying terrifying extreme ice, struck the restriction. The restriction didn't last long before shattering. At the same time, Tang Hao, who was drinking in a small tavern, showed a hint of fear in his eyes, then quickly disappeared from the spot.
Shen Hanyu sheathed the Frost Sky Spear and swaggered inside.
"Ha, Tang Hao really has no sense of propriety, burying his deceased wife in such a godforsaken place."
Shen Hanyu lifted his foot, stirring up a lot of sticky soil. The black, dirty soil, combined with the dim environment, made the air smell damp, though not unpleasant.
This is understandable. The cave is hidden behind the waterfall, and even with Tang Hao's protective barrier, moisture still seeps in, making the environment extremely humid. The temperature here isn't too low, so it's not surprising that decay would slowly occur over time.
Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor emitting a faint glow deep within the cave, Shen Hanyu smiled slightly.
"Found you, Blue Silver Emperor..."
The Blue Silver Emperor seemed to sense something and trembled involuntarily…
