Chapter 266: Warm Space, Defrosting the Beautiful Person!
Underneath was translucent and limpid water. The water wasn’t just extremely clear, it was glowing with fluorescence.
Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling on his back and dove into the water.
A bone-piercing cold entered his body that instantly froze Yang Dingtian, and he was nearly immobilized.
The water was too astonishingly cold. Yang Dingtian couldn’t tolerate it as soon as he submerged into it.
As compared to the abandoned mine’s unfreezing pool, this place was much colder.
The entry part of this fluorescent pool was already as cold as the deepest part of the unfreezing pool.
Of course, this fluorescent pool was also a type of unfreezing pool. It merely possessed horrifying cold but wouldn’t freeze; hence, it was addressed as unfreezing.
After getting frozen stiff, Yang Dingtian desperately circulated his mystic qi to supply heat before he continued diving down.
The temperature was getting lower, and it was getting increasingly icy cold.
After diving ten meters, Yang Dingtian’s entire body was frozen stiff again.
Twenty meters later, Yang Dingtian wasn’t able to generate any more heat even if he desperately circulated his mystic qi.
Thirty meters later, Yang Dingtian’s body was entirely numb, and he couldn’t feel anything.
But he was still diving down due to gravity that helped him to submerge constantly.
This cold temperature was already colder than the deepest part of the unfreezing pool in the abandoned mine.
The coldest place in the entire universe was at absolute zero, but there wasn’t a known place in the universe that could achieve absolute zero, it would only be limitlessly close.
In fact, the coldest part in the unfreezing pool of the abandoned mine was already very close to absolute zero.
When the temperature was extremely low, as long as it was 1 degree or 0.1 degrees away, the effects of the cold would be drastically different.
Once absolute zero was achieved, all energy would stop moving. By then, even a heaven-defying expert would have to face death. Even Saints would die in absolute zero. This was the law of the universe.
But, as long as there was 0.1 degrees difference to absolute zero, a Saint might not die and would be unscathed.
But in terms of pure numbers, the unfreezing water here and the abandoned mine’s unfreezing water had a difference in temperature of a few digits, but the results were absolutely fatal.
After submerging for fifty meters, Yang Dingtian didn’t just lose his senses, he had also lost his divine senses. His soul, willpower, and vitality were about to be consumed.
Once the soul and vitality were consumed, Yang Dingtian would be dead.
But right now, the distance to the bottom of the unfreezing pool was still extremely remote.
This unfreezing pool had fluorescence, and Yang Dingtian could see very deeply, but he still couldn’t see the bottom.
Just as Yang Dingtian felt like he was going to be done for, when his eyes were going into darkness, and when his soul was about to perish... a surge of warm energy had entered his body.
This energy was coming from the youngling sword, Ah Chou. Ah Chou’s divine senses had awakened!
(NOTE:- Ah Chou is the name of the youngling sword.)
Yang Dingtian could clearly feel that his youngling sword had awakened.
Ah Chou didn’t know how to talk or how to communicate with Yang Dingtian, but Yang Dingtian could still feel that his youngling sword had awakened.
Because there was a portion of energy within the youngling sword that had shaken vigorously, just like it was shivering from cold.
Since Ah Chou consumed Qin Huaiju’s demonized energy, the youngling sword felt as though it had eaten to its fill and went into hibernation. When the bone-piercing chill suddenly assaulted it, it had actually awakened.
The awakened Ah Chou didn’t have time to communicate with Yang Dingtian. After shivering, it started to supply Yang Dingtian with endless fire energy.
The fire energy from Ah Chou was very shocking.
Apart from the consumption of fire energy, it also had the extreme-grade coal-seam fire’s energy.
When forging the youngling sword, a huge portion of the coal-seam fire’s energy was used.
The extreme-grade coal-seam fire had been nurtured in the fire attribute continent for a decade and would only bloom with one extreme-grade coal-seam fire. It was evident how much energy it contained, and half of it was in Ah Chou.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian immediately felt warm. Of course, this was relatively speaking.
Just like that, with the energy from Ah Chou, Yang Dingtian continued to submerge with Dongfang Bingling on his back.
80 meters!
100 meters!
200 meters!
300 meters!
500 meters!
This unfreezing water was truly bottomless.
The abandoned mine’s unfreezing pool was only 200 meters in-depth, and the coldest part was at the 100-meter mark.
But this unfreezing pool didn’t seem to have a bottom, and it was getting colder and getting closer to absolute zero.
When they were at the 800-meter mark, even with Ah Chou, Yang Dingtian’s body was getting frozen stiff again.
At 900 meters, Yang Dingtian had lost his senses again and was submerging without doing anything.
But Yang Dingtian was still filled with endless determination as he was looking forward to going across the 1,000-meter mark.
This unfreezing pool shouldn’t be more than 1,000 meters in-depth, and once he crossed the 1,000-meter mark, it should be safe.
950 meters!
960 meters!
970 meters!
980 meters.
Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian’s willpower and soul was about to be consumed.
He was really just relying on the final willpower and looking forward to crossing the 1,000-meter mark as it would mean victory.
After the 1,000-meter mark, it might be a warm area or a reverse in gravity.
990 meters!
995 meters!
999 meters.
At this place, Ah Chou seemed to have stopped its circulation and wasn’t supplying energy anymore.
1,000 meters!
It was finally at the 1,000-meter mark.
Using his supreme willpower, Yang Dingtian crossed the 1,000-meter mark.
But he was disappointed when there was no warmth or reverse in gravity after the 1,000-meter mark.
He was still descending, and it was still getting colder. The energy supplied by Ah Chou was getting weaker.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian’s eyes could only see darkness.
He had lost all his senses, soul, and willpower!
***
It was unknown how long had passed as Yang Dingtian regained consciousness and opened his eyes slowly.
Soul, vitality, and senses had gradually been restored.
The surrounding was very warm, and he was lying at the bottom of a circular arc. Under his body was a fiery red crystal that was translucent.
The entire body of the crystal was around three meters long and two meters wide.
Two meters above his head was the sparkling and limpid unfreezing water.
Earlier on, Yang Dingtian had lost all his senses and continued to sink. He was then dropped inside this place from the unfreezing water, picking back his life.
This fiery red crystal was emitting an unending supply of warm energy. That’s right. It was only warm and not burning. But it was enough to resist over 1,000 meters of the unfreezing water.
After standing up, Yang Dingtian realized that apart from the space outside of the crystal’s arc, the entire surrounding was the limpid unfreezing water.
It also meant that this crystal’s arc was enveloped by the unfreezing water but wasn’t frozen. It was still emitting warm energy. It was obvious how mystical this crystal was.
Yang Dingtian instantly constructed a rough map in his mind.
Above this three meters long and two meters wide red crystal, it was the 1,000-meter deep and 10,000-meter wide unfreezing water. Above the unfreezing water was a 1,000-meter thick layer of ice. Above the layer of ice was a few hundred meters deep lake water.
Furthermore, the lake water was still constantly turning into ice. When all the water in the lake had turned into ice, it was time for the Mystic Flame to bloom.
But it was a pity that when the Mystic Flame would bloom, Qin Huaiyu and the others would surely be guarding the place. If Yang Dingtian went there, it would be the same as seeking death.
But Yang Dingtian was rather interested. There was only one bundle of Mystic Flame, but there were three individuals. He wondered how Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, and Gudu Wuhuan were going to distribute it.
Of course, Yang Dingtian should be temporarily safe. At least, that trio wouldn’t be able to cross the 1,000-meter deep unfreezing water.
After confirming this point, Yang Dingtian then gave some attention to Dongfang Bingling, who was lying at the side.
Right now, her entire body was ice, and she wasn’t breathing, but Yang Dingtian knew that she wasn’t dead.
Her body felt like it was preserved in liquid nitrogen, but she wasn’t dead.
To get her to start breathing again, she just had to be defrosted.
How to defrost her? Yang Dingtian simply had to pour fire energy into her body.
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before he placed her hand on her lower abdomen and started to transfer fiery mystic qi.
The sensation was just like mud sinking into the sea as there was no reaction.
After over ten minutes, Yang Dingtian had already transferred over a third of his mystic qi, but Dongfang Bingling still didn’t have any reaction.
All of a sudden, Dongfang Niemie said, “Child, don’t try anymore. It is useless.”
Yang Dingtian said, “Master, according to theory, if I transfer fire attribute energy to her, I should be able to help her defrost.”
“The theory is correct.” Dongfang Niemie smiled bitterly and said, “But, Dongfang Bingling had used the Sacrifice to consume dozens of times more ice energy than her body could contain. Furthermore, her original mystic qi capacity was already 100 times more than you. With your current cultivation, even if you don’t eat and don’t cultivate to supply her with fire attribute energy constantly, you would still need 30 years to defrost her.”
30 years?
Yang Dingtian was completely stunned.
According to Dongfang Niemie’s words, it was truly useless. Yang Dingtian was willing to rescue Dongfang Niemie, but it wasn’t possible to spend 30 years.
“Master, what about Ah Chou? Is its energy enough?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“Ah Chou can only supply energy to you. To Dongfang Bingling, it is just an ordinary blood black gold sword.” Dongfang Niemie answered.
“It means to say that Dongfang Bingling will not be defrosted and cannot wake up anymore?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“It will depend on her luck.” Dongfang Niemie stated.
Luck!
Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, “That’s right. It will be entirely up to her luck. If her life isn’t destined to end like this, she will naturally be able to recover. Otherwise...”
Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie said, “Child, hurry up and make use of the opportunity to cultivate your mystic qi. I can feel that this crystal has a very pure energy, even though it isn’t very intense. It might be the fire attribute, but it doesn’t have many impurities. By using the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, you can refine it into your qi vessel. It will be much faster than you cultivating on the outside.”
