Chapter 362: A Treasured Land

Xiao Qing was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning. As his afterimage flashed past, he was already close to the Black Profound Ice Stone. At that moment, Xiao Qing's fur stood on end, and his golden pupils dilated infinitely.

But it was too late to retract his force; his two large claws had already touched the Black Profound Ice Stone.

With a hum, Xiao Qing's body instantly froze solid, like an ice sculpture. He began to shiver violently, then fell from above and crashed heavily to the ground.

Ao wu... Xiao Bai trotted over cheerfully, his big eyes flashing with mischief and a hint of confusion. He slowly approached and couldn't help touching it with his little paw.

Just like Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai's white fur bristled, making him look like a little hedgehog. His body stiff, he rolled down.

Ah... Xiao Shen Yao widened his eyes, a trace of surprise appearing on his crystal-clear face. Shaking his two ponytails, he walked over step by step.

These two little ones. Seeing this, Yang Xiao couldn't help shaking his head. The cold air emitted by the Black Profound Ice Stone was extremely terrifying; even Yang Tian couldn't withstand it.

Rumble! After a while, white mist seeped from both their bodies. The divine blood within them circulated, expelling the terrible chill. Their bodies rumbled and exploded.

Xiao Bai's body burst with golden light, his snow-white form now flushed red. Like a steaming furnace, he emitted billowing mist, his entire being shrouded within.

Xiao Qing rolled his golden eyes, his body trembling all over. After a moment, divine patterns flowed over him, and terrifying energy scoured his flesh, gradually loosening his stiff body.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was conversing with the intelligence born from the Black Profound Ice Stone. This stone was extremely extraordinary; Yang Xiao faintly sensed that it might contain a living being within!

No one knew how long this underground river had existed. The chill emanating from below was even more terrifying. This Black Profound Ice Stone had also endured countless ages, inhaling the terrible cold from below, seemingly nurturing a body.

Such a being, once born, would be far more difficult than a divine medicine, requiring eons of time.

At this moment, Yang Tian walked to a corner of the Ancestral Dragon Ring. There, he opened up a lake a thousand zhang wide, then filled it with the coldest water from below, welcoming the Black Profound Ice Stone to cultivate.

The icy water at the deepest point had an unknown temperature; even his Azure Flame Heavenly Fire was slightly distorted by it.

This was the result of his full exertion. If this water were poured onto others, one could imagine the immense harm it would cause!

Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing looked at the lake ahead, sensing how terrifying the water was. Naturally, they dared not approach, having already suffered greatly, their souls trembling.

At the bottom of the underground river, Yang Tian's eyes moved for a moment. A bold idea arose in his mind: if this river water flowed into a city, how much damage would it cause?

Hum! Suddenly, a diagram appeared above Yang Tian's head, radiating golden light, brilliant like a waterfall. A fierce aura leaked out, surging overwhelmingly, making Yang Tian's soul tremble.

Open! Yang Tian shouted, his surging blood energy pouring into it. The Mountains and Rivers Diagram was instantly activated, soaring upward and abruptly expanding to a thousand zhang in size. Blazing golden light burst forth, piercing through patches of river water.

Just from activating it, Yang Tian's face turned pale. This artifact was too terrifying; it was not something Yang Tian could control. Even Yang Ba could only sustain it for a short while.

At that moment, a great mountain in the Mountains and Rivers Diagram opened, and a terrifying suction force surged out. The freezing river water below was stirred up like a tornado, sucked into the diagram.

The space within the Mountains and Rivers Diagram was over thirty thousand zhang, enough to hold a great river. The icy water, like a mountain torrent, surged inside rapidly, spreading quickly.

The mysterious altar ahead suddenly burst with terrifying divine light, blocking the layers of water outside, as if several light screens had risen around it.

Seeing this, Yang Tian smacked his lips. His blood energy surged wildly, and the Dao bodies in his organs interwove with terrifying energy, helping him pour the cold water into the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.

After maintaining this absorption speed for half an hour, Yang Tian began to tire. He took out a top-grade blood stone to replenish his energy for a while, then continued to absorb the cold water.

After a full two hours, Yang Tian finally filled the void inside. His joyful eyes scanned within; the icy water there was enough to freeze an entire large city!

Fortunately, the quality of the Mountains and Rivers Diagram is extremely high. If it were an ordinary Dao artifact, it would probably be frozen through in no time. Yang Tian grinned and couldn't help laughing.

If I were to pour this into the Li family's ancestral grounds, what a terrifying result would that be? Yang Tian couldn't help rubbing his hands. His body then moved, swimming upward along the underground river.

In another part of the underground river, withered trees lined the shore. There were also a few skeletons, dozens of zhang in size, emitting a terrifying ferocity. They had died who knows how long ago, with mysterious patterns spreading through their bones.

At this moment, Yang Xiao's eyes surveyed the surroundings. There had once been a spiritual spring here, extremely beneficial for body refinement, sought after by major powers, and always a shared treasure of the Eastern Continent's forces.

Alas, it's all dried up. Looking at the long-dry small lake, Yang Xiao shook his head and sighed.

After walking several li, they encountered many terrifying demon beasts and strange creatures, extremely fearsome, shaking the ground as they passed. The demon dragon clan was relatively rare; Yang Tian only saw one.

This place is filled with deathly energy; there should be some residual heavenly and earthly energy. Yang Xiao walked along, but the energy was extremely scarce, as if it had been squeezed away, which puzzled him greatly.

The space here was vast. Yang Xiao, controlling Yang Tian's body, flew low and fast, encountering many terrifying alien species, but all were frightened away by the Azure Flame Heavenly Fire.

Ao wu... At this moment, Xiao Bai, who had been sniffing in his arms, suddenly howled. His big eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had encountered an extremely powerful treasure.

Tsk, well done. Hearing this, Yang Tian's steps instantly halted. He rubbed Xiao Bai's head and said happily. Xiao Bai's treasure-hunting ability was beyond doubt.

Ao wu... His pitch-black big eyes flashing with excitement, Xiao Bai leaped onto Yang Tian's shoulder, his little tail wagging rapidly, urging Yang Tian to move quickly.

Whoosh! Yang Tian was like a gust of wind, moving extremely fast, dashing toward the place Xiao Bai indicated.

Passing through a barren area, when a hint of lush greenery came into view, Yang Tian was momentarily stunned. This place was filled with deathly energy; it was extremely rare to encounter living plants.

After walking a few more li, Yang Tian's eyes turned emerald green. The lifeless plants had completely disappeared, replaced by green vegetation everywhere. Moreover, the heavenly and earthly energy was extremely rich, and he even encountered several lakes with sparkling blue water.

Strange, not a single living creature. Walking along, Yang Tian encountered no living beings. This place was too quiet, without even a single bird or insect, making it seem extremely eerie.

The further he went, the more lush the vegetation became. Thick vines, like flood dragons, could cover a small hill. Trees towered into the sky, hundreds of zhang high, giving a visual impact.

Moreover, the vitality grew stronger, and the heavenly and earthly energy surged dramatically. This was a treasured land.

Even the energy here is no weaker than that of the Dan Valley. Yang Tian couldn't help clicking his tongue. Finding such scenery underground was extremely extraordinary.

Ao wu... At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly howled, his pitch-black big eyes fixed on a stretch of palaces and halls ahead, a forest of buildings.

There, auspicious energy arose, rosy clouds swirled, and purple light flashed, making it appear extremely extraordinary.
