Chapter 206: 206: Sperm Whale's Territory (1)

Led by the Sentient Basking Shark, they had finally reached the territory of the Sperm Whale that this shark is talking about. The territory of the said sea monster was unexpectedly gorgeous. It was a huge white coral with glowing huge stones.

One side is a pile of ordinary treasure from the mortal realm like golds, pearls, antiques, etc. As for the huge glowing smooth stones, upon closer looks it seems to be a huge night pearl the smallest had the size of a human adult head.

Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu were amazed by the scene before them. Maybe because they had been seeing only water along the way that they felt that this scenery is even more gorgeous than the empty dead sea surrounding them.

"Wow~ this place is pretty~" said Yue Xuexia.

{I know right! When I saw this place for the first time, I also felt this place is different from the ocean that I know. This seems to be the foot of the ice mountain I was stuck into. Look! Those white corals are made of ice too!}

Tan Bingyu closed her eyes to survey the area and suddenly abruptly opened her eyes as if she saw something shocking.

Gasp!

Yue Xuexia asked, "What's wrong, Sister Bingyu?"

"There is something.... something in this place that almost froze my divine senses," replied Tan Bingyu as she started shivering when coldness is not supposed to affect her.

Seeing this, even Taiyang frowned. The Nine Meridian Yin Physique is one of the rare Yin Physiques even in the world he came from. There are very few things that can suppress it. Even Shen Jueyang felt this weirdness and personally checked the area for that thing that affected Tan Bingyu.

Yue Xuexia looked at Tan Bingyu worriedly and brought a thick blanket to cover her yet the latter's shivering remained uncontrollable. Upon seeing this Yue Xuexia can only use her natal flame to extract the frost that struck Tan Bingyu, but it seems that even her flames were useless.

"Yangyang, please help Sister Bingyu, she is turning pale!" said Yue Xuexia while panicking.

Taiyang checked on Tan Bingyu with a frown on his face. He used his golden-red flame to melt the frost that touched Tan Bingyu and only then her shivering slowly lessened. His frown loosen a bit when his flames were effective to melt the frost in her body.

But was shocked when he saw Yue Xuexia holding Tan Bingyu's arms without getting frozen. Even his hand covered with his flames was slightly frosted by that unknown energy yet Yue Xuexia was unharmed.

Taiyang grabbed Yue Xuexia's hand and checked them closely and saw that she was truly unaffected by the coldness.

"What's wrong, Yangyang?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang said, "How come your hand was unharmed when you touched her? Do you not feel cold at all, Xue'er?"

Yue Xuexia looked at her hand that looks normal with her body temperature normal as well. Then look at Taiyang's hand that briefly touches Tan Bingyu's shoulder and is now covered with a thin veil of frost at the tip of his fingers.

She also couldn't believe it and reached out a hand to touch Tan Bingyu's arm, but as expected nothing happened.

"How is this possible?" mumbled Yue Xuexia.

Taiyang asked, "I don't know why I asked you?"

"Let me check,"

At this moment, Shen Jueyang finally appeared before Yue Xuexia while Taiyang was around. With these two men outside, Yue Xuexia didn't react much and only mumbles a few words.

Yue Xuexia said, "Just as I thought. You two are different people. You used to need Yangyang's body to come out before. How come you know you have a human form, system?"

"Jueyang. My name is Shen Jueyang."

"Okay, Shen Jueyang," said Yue Xuexia.

Shen Jueyang noticed that Yue Xuexia is a bit distant to him than when she is talking with Taiyang. He wanted to ask why, but thinking of what he said to Taiyang that night he felt guilty and no longer planned to ask anything.

"Can you please show me your hands? I need to check something. The frost that affected even a Nine Meridian Yin possessor like her was most likely an absolute element. In short, regardless of what your physique is, it can affect anything in this world. However for some reason you weren't affected at all, that's why I need to check your body for a bit," explained Shen Jueyang as he spread his hand palm up before Yue Xuexia.

He is waiting for her to place her hands above his so he can check on her situation. Yue Xuexia looked at Shen Jueyang for a while before placing her hands above his hands. Everyone watched as Shen Jueyang's aura spread from his hands to Yue Xuexia's body.

Yue Xuexia didn't feel any discomfort instead she felt warmth spread in her body as if she was submerged in a hot spring. It was relaxing and no pain at all. A golden-red aura covered Yue Xuexia. It only lasted for a few minutes before Shen Jueyang let her hand go, but there was a frown on his handsome face.

Taiyang asked, "What's wrong with Xue'er?"

"After the awakening of Yin Moon Physique the first blessing she got is Absolute Yin Resistance. That's why the Eternal Ice can't affect or maybe because the eternal ice is just a fragment that its effect was greatly lowered," said Shen Jueyang, but he still couldn't believe it.

After all, Taiyang is a clone and even though he won't get frozen by Eternal Ice being affected cannot avoid that's why the tip of Taiyang's fingers was covered in ice after touching Tan Bingyu.

Taiyang frowned and said, "Do you even believe your words?"

"I'm unsure. That's why I chose the closest possible explanation. But if there is truly a piece of Eternal Ice in this mortal realm it must have been sealed or else this small star would have been covered in ice," said Shen Jueyang as he knew how powerful an absolute thing is.

It was something even he as an Immortal Lord couldn't control especially when it is opposite of his element which is fire.

Taiyang said, "This is weird. Eternal Ice isn't something anyone can easily possess unless you gain its acceptance. The Hell Flames you found before didn't even sign a contract with you and only shared his powers. We can't leave this eternal ice even if it's a fragment. It's too dangerous."

"You stay here with them. I will find it myself," said Shen Jueyang.

Everyone nods their heads and sees Shen Jueyang enter the depths of this territory as for them they choose to stay outside and didn't even enter that huge ice coral before their eyes.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Little one, are the Ice Ore Stones who were found before found inside or outside the coral?"

The Sentient Basking Shark who erased its presence when Shen Jueyang appeared finally sighed a breath. It seems to be holding back his breath especially when Shen Jueyang appeared on its back.

{Sigh~ that was scary. Those glowing stones are found outside. I don't dare enter that coral as I am afraid of being eaten alive.}

"You are so timid for a big shark. Anyway, bring us to where the Ice Ore Stones are and we can head to the south pole as soon as possible!" said Taiyang.

{Are we not going to wait for that lord who left? Will we leave him behind?}

Taiyang said, "No worries. He can definitely find us even if we left him here alone. Go bring us to the place!"

{Okay~}

The Sentient Basking Shark swayed its tail and went to the outskirts of the territory. Obviously, for this timid big fish, there is no way it had the courage to fully enter one's territory. They were brought over to a cliff underwater, but it's more like just a crack at the boundaries with bottomless darkness.

Tan Bingyu, who was covered in a thick blanket, Yue Xuexia who is sipping her dark chocolate milk tea and Taiyang who is holding a chicken drumstick in his hand all lean down to look at the dark cliff. Upon seeing this cliff, Taiyang hit the sentient shark with his drumstick.

{Owiee~ Why did you hit me?}

Taiyang said, "Who the hell told you to bring us to the cliff? I'll roast you!"

{NO. NO! I'm not delicious don't eat me~}

Yue Xuexia yawned as if she gave up thinking. She just wanted to nap. As for Tan Bingyu, she looked at a cliff full of ice elements and a lot of it was coming from the depths of the cliff and upon checking with her divine consciousness, she learns that this cliff is not that deep and there are lots of Ice Ore Stone and some rare ice type herb found under.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, this cliff is not deep. There are lots of treasures below we should go down."

{Of course, there is a lot of treasure inside. When I first came here I picked a lot and hid everything in this place.}

Yue Xuexia's sleepy eyes opened widely and said, "Good Job, Little one! Go bring us down there!"

{Hehe~ I know I did great!}

Tan Bingyu and Taiyang looked at the silly fish who sold itself. Why do you have to bring someone to the place where you hide your treasures? Do you plan to give it all away?

Meanwhile, Shen Jueyang who entered the huge ice coral was welcomed by ice walls that aren't transparent but white. There are tall pillars that support the corals and the space in it was wide making Shen Jueyang who is in his human form look like an ant inside this place.

Shen Jueyang fearlessly moves inside and looks around. Seeing a lot of junk in his eyes but treasures in the eyes of mortals, he chose to grab a few and put it in Yue Xuexia's inventory as a gift. Only when he got deeper inside did he feel that the temperature of the water around him had dropped a lot.

For some unknown reason there is snow falling inside this coral and even under the water. Shen Jueyang approached the place with the cold temperature and saw a glowing snowflake the size of a fist floating at the center of the place. It was surrounded with a rune that looks like a seal that prevents this iciness from spreading in this world.

Shen Jueyang sighed as he finally found what he was looking for. Just as he was about the snowflake, he suddenly felt a heated gaze on himself. Turning to look for the source, he saw a pair of huge black eyes staring at him with its body buried in snow. The size of whatever creature this is, is hundred times larger than the Sentient Basking Shark, they used as a ride to come to this place.

{Can you help me leave this place?}
