Tang Ao pushed open the door that was severely shattered, and had accumulated a thick layer of moss, revealing a dark and deep passageway in front of him. The passageway was quiet and distant, leading to an unknown place.
The moment he stepped in, a bone-piercing cold energy assaulted his senses, causing Tang Ao to shiver. The smelting had been in full swing just a moment ago, but now it was cold from head to toe.
There were some areas on the pathway that were smooth and rough, the cuts from the swords and axes had serious marks, it was obvious that they were artificially carved. The walls at the entrance were slightly wet, and as Tang Ao went deeper, there were some places that had ice caked on them.
The further they went, the colder the temperature became. Tang Ao's entire body was shivering from the cold and he silently cursed Song Hetong in his heart, "This old fogey, why didn't he tell me earlier to wear a few more clothes? This sovereign will deal with you when he goes out. "
With a sigh, Tang Ao rubbed his hands together and continued to advance. The length of the passageway was similar to Tang Ao's first impression, it was very long.
After walking forward for a few tens of steps, roughly a hundred meters, Tang Ao's legs were swaying, trembling to the point that it was like a grandma trying to sift through bran; his upper and lower teeth were clattering, to the point that his incisors were almost sent flying.
"I, I, Old Man Song, Old Man Song …" Tang Ao trembled from the cold. He could no longer feel the presence of any of the bare senses, and even started to speak incoherently.
The deeper they went, the more Tang Ao heaved a sigh of relief. The droplets of ice immediately condensed and fell off his eyebrows and beard, and even his hair was gradually covered with a layer of frost.
The deeper they went, the harder Tang Ao's legs became to listen to him, and he could only rely on his consciousness to walk forward. His arms were originally warm to his chest, but now, the two of them were frozen together, unable to separate at all.
"Why? Nothing yet, we're here!" 's nose was almost hanging down to his chin, and there was still ice on it!
"But, the evil old man, wait for me, come out, I will definitely, properly, teach you a lesson." Tang Ao paid his respects to his eighteen generations of ancestors of Song Hetong in his heart, wishing that he could cut it alive.
"No. If this continued, he would faint before he could find him. If you want to run, you have to run. " Even though he was urgently ordering his physical body to move … However, a thick layer of frost had already covered his body. If he didn't use his Essence, he wouldn't be able to break free.
Tang Ao's speed became slower and slower, the ice on his feet had long ago reached a height of two to three inches, and every step he took required him to exert ten thousand kilograms of strength. The current Tang Ao was no longer able to see its appearance, he could only make out the outline of its body. It was probably a person, walking in the distance with an ice sculpture.
"Alright!"
A shout suddenly woke Tang Ao from his drowsiness, the force of the voice penetrated through the stone wall and resonated back and forth, transmitting deeper into the passageway.
Almost instinctively, two faint yellow rays of light suddenly lit up on Tang Ao's arms, and then, unconsciously, they were swiftly pulled back and forth.
"Hmm?" Threads of warmth gradually awakened Tang Ao's consciousness. He immediately activated the《 breath holding technique》, and streams of aura continuously rose from his dantian, and flowed towards his limbs and bones.
"Crack!" "Ka-cha!"
The thick layer of ice was scorched by the heat and fell apart. Some of the remaining ice shards were vaporized.
"Phew!" Damn old man! If you were a bit later, you probably wouldn't have seen me with such a heaven warping talent. " Tang Ao rubbed his numb face, then increased his pace and headed deeper into the pathway.
A small bright spot appeared in front of the passageway, like a bright lamp, lighting up the way forward.
"If it wasn't for that damned old man not allowing this sovereign to use movement techniques, this sovereign would have arrived long ago." Tang Ao muttered to himself, then increased his pace.
A huge karst cave appeared in front of his eyes. The bamboo shoots on the ground rose up, and the ice pillars at the top of the cave drooped down. The head was as sharp as a needle. Tang Ao was extremely careful with every step he took, pressing the warm air back into his body, afraid that a huge hole would be pierced through if he wasn't careful.
After a few more steps, a square platform that was about forty to fifty feet in size appeared in front of him. Exquisite and transparent, it emitted a gentle light, illuminating the entire space.
Climbing the stairs, Tang Ao saw a square pond in the middle of the pond, that was the size of a dining table, reflected light inside. Like a mirror, it looked like a long ice pillar on top of the pond with a drop of water brewing on the tip.
"As expected of the thousand year cold spring water!" Tang Ao couldn't help but exclaim.
Although he was using his cultivation technique, Tang Ao once again felt a hint of coldness. The Qi gathered in his dantian using the [breath holding technique] was slowly being consumed, and it would not take long for it to reach the bottom.
"No!" I have to hurry! " Tang Ao no longer hesitated, nor was he in the mood to admire the translucent crystal scenery. Taking out a large jar from the ring, the Qi in his dantian started to circulate at a high speed, the speed of consumption was three to four times faster, almost reaching the bottom.
Tang Ao grabbed the edge of the huge vat and slowly shut the vat. The pool was just as deep as a huge vat. When it was full, Tang Ao tried his best to lift it, but almost fell down.
The vat floated a few times in the water before gradually settling down.
"Heavens, it's so heavy." Tang Ao casually raised his strength up, if it wasn't a thousand kilograms, then it was at least eight hundred kilograms, but it couldn't even lift a water jar.
Tang Ao was a little shrewd, and took out a Nine Dragons Jade Cup. He scooped a cup with a small amount of it and weighed it in his hand, with such a heavy weight, it was probably not any worse than blackstone.
Tang Ao did not believe it, standing on the edge of the square pond, lowering his center of gravity, the pale yellow gas protected his hands, and then deep into the cold bone-piercing spring water he grabbed the edge of the large vat.
30,000 pounds of strength! The huge vat gradually rose. After rising up a distance, Tang Ao once again felt powerless.
40,000 pounds! The vat began to move up again, the waterline gradually decreasing. Just as it was about to leave the water surface, it was once again powerless.
50,000 jin! After the vat left the spring water, the water level of the pool instantly dropped by half.
"Heavens!" Fifty thousand Jin, luckily old man Song helped me refine my body. " Tang Ao suddenly threw the big jar upwards, and released his spiritual will to support the big jar, sending it back to the ring s.
"Hu!" After doing all this, Tang Ao heaved a long sigh of relief, and immediately sat cross-legged and meditated for a while. There were still many ridiculously long tunnels at the back. If he did not take a good rest, he was afraid that he would have to wait here for the rest of the day.
"You must get even with Old Man Song when we get back. You old bastard actually dares to trick me." Tang Ao cursed in his heart, his body jumping again and again, arriving on the ground. With half of the cold spring gone, the temperature was also much warmer.
"You old bastard, you almost caused my death," Upon seeing Song Hetong, Tang Ao was furious, "You have to compensate me well, take any seven or eight Spirit Treasure God Weapons, and I will forgive you."
"Pfft!" Song Hetong was so angry that he almost spat out blood, "Seven or eight Spirit Treasure Divine Weapons, what are you robbing? Didn't you tell you before you left? If I knew that my kindness would be such, I wouldn't have yelled that out. "
