“What he hates the most is the mortal aura on human cultivators. Yesterday, you fought your way here with your blood blazing in the sky, which probably already alerted him. The fact that he didn’t immediately attack was because of me.”
David was silent for a moment, then asked, “What if communication fails?”
“Then you have to rely on yourself.”
The Palace Master said calmly, “I can temporarily deactivate the protective array outside the Cold Pool so that you can enter the basin. However, whether you can obtain the Blood Lotus depends on your abilities.”
“Can’t Palace Master help?” Red Cloud Demon Lord couldn’t help asking.
The palace master shook his head: “I have made an agreement with him that we will not interfere with each other. He guards the Blood Lotus, and I will not enter that gloomy region.”
“I am the master of the Northern Underworld Palace, and the palace will not attack my people. If I act, it will violate the agreement, and if the palace goes berserk, the entire Northern Underworld Palace will suffer.”
Then the Palace Master looked at David: “I can tell you that this beast has a trace of the bloodline of the ancient Ice Dragon. Although it is not pure blood, it is still extraordinary. It is very sensitive to the power of the dragon and the aura of the sacred beast. If you have a special method, you may be able to try it.”
Ancient Ice Dragon Bloodline?
Dragon Power?
David’s heart moved.
He had pure gold dragon blood, while the other party was a spirit beast. Even sacred beasts would kneel and worship at the sight of him, a golden dragon.
Although David’s Golden Dragon bloodline could not be completely released, it was still pure.
Maybe, there’s no harm in trying.
“Oh, I see.”
David took a deep breath, a determined look in his eyes. “Please, Palace Master, open the great formation for me. I will go meet the guardian spirit beast.”
“David!” cried the Red Cloud Demon Lord anxiously, “That’s a fierce beast of at least the fifth rank of the True Immortal Realm! You”
“Senior, this is our only hope.”
David interrupted, “No matter what, I have to try. Senior Lingyue can’t wait any longer.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord opened his mouth, but finally let out a long breath, and patted David hard on the shoulder: “Be careful. If things don’t go according to plan, withdraw immediately. We will think of another way to deal with Lingyue.”
Ling Shuang looked at David worriedly, but knowing she couldn’t persuade him, she could only whisper, “Senior, you must come back safely.”
David nodded to the two of them, then patted the little fire unicorn on the head: “Little guy, we may need your help this time.”
The little fire qilin rubbed its body against his hand, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and it let out a low roar, indicating that it was ready to fight at any time.
The Palace Master looked at David, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes: “You are brave. Remember, if things become unbearable, immediately retreat to the edge of the valley. I will reactivate the great formation to ensure your safety for the time being.”
After saying that, he made a hand seal, recited an incantation, and the ice crystal divine pattern between his eyebrows lit up.
“Buzz-!”
The protective forbidden array covering the basin began to fluctuate violently, and the ice-blue light curtain rippled like water. In front of David, a gap slowly opened, allowing only one person to pass through.
From within the crack, an even stronger aura of cold poison and blood gushed out, causing David to shiver involuntarily.
“Go,” said the palace master.
Without further hesitation, David nodded to the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord and Ling Shuang, then cupped his hands in a salute to the Palace Master. In an instant, it turned into a beam of light, passed through the gap, and entered the basin.
The little qilin that could spit fire let out a low roar and followed closely.
The cracks in the large formation closed quickly after David entered, returning the formation to its original state.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord and Ling Shuang stood nervously outside the big formation, staring intently at David’s back.
The palace master stood quietly, his gaze deep, deep in thought.
The moment David stepped into the basin, he felt that the temperature around him was at least ten times lower than outside!
The bone-chilling cold seemed to freeze his soul. Even though he used the Chaotic Immortal Power to protect himself, he still felt a chill seep into his body.
The ice under my feet was not pure white, but instead had a faint blood-red pattern, as if blood was flowing under the ice.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and terrible poison; inhaling it even slowed the flow of one’s immortal energy.
