Chapter 76: The Legacy of the Ice God
Su Dong had originally intended to use the Eight Gates Formation Method to test this so-called Ice God Platform. In this world, there are many strange existences, such as souls and special attribute-possessing demonic beasts, which cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. Only under the Eight Gates Formation Method will they reveal their true form.
But as soon as the formation was activated, the ice-sealed throne suddenly collapsed!
It's unclear whether it was due to Su Dongling's special abilities or the fact that the Qimen formation didn't belong to this world, but in any case, Su Dong fell rapidly.
The speed of the fall sent Su Dong rushing to fear, falling from such a high place, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled, not to mention that there were many large pieces of ice around him, and if one hit his head, it would be absolutely tragic.
Plop!
The speed was really too fast, and before Su Dong could think clearly, he was thrown into a medium-sized pool of water. The icy cold water made Su Dong shiver violently, and his head quickly cleared up.
Seizing the Ice God's pedestal beside him, Su Dong threw the most important instrument of the Casting Master onto the shore. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else and brutally tossed the pedestal into the air, which then heavily fell onto the ice and snow.
Prolonged immersion in icy water can cause numbness and organ failure, so Su Dong's first move after landing was to set up an array with the two pieces of Shizhong Jade and the large Fajue Mother Jade! Quickly recover his vitality while changing into a dry set of clothes.
"Received!"
Another powerful artifact, the Bone Nailing Needle, was in Su Dong's hands. With a loud roar, the peeled skin knives that had fallen into the water pool suddenly flew up, jumped out of the water surface, and returned to Su Dong's palms.
This is the benefit of having a complete set of artifacts, with one large artifact as control. As long as the large artifact is safe and sound, Su Dong can recall it at any time without worrying about losing it.
From falling into the water pool to deploying a formation, and then retrieving another set of artifacts, Su Dong's movements were neat and efficient, even making people feel very elegant.
Not far away, the Ice God Tian Tai let out a surprised and puzzled sound, and then fell into silence.
The formation provided Su Dong with the spiritual energy he needed, and the spiritual energy also meant heat, so soon Su Dong recovered from the chill, his lips were no longer purple, and his face had a few points of blood color.
Taking a deep breath, Su Dong stood up and put away his own magic tool, then looked around.
Although this is the underground depths of the Ice Sealed City, it's not dark at all. There are some glowing stones in the ice walls that bring light.
But when Su Dong raised his head, he found that the top was thick ice, as if he had been swallowed into the belly of a giant beast, and then the giant beast closed its mouth, blocking Su Dong's path.
She furrowed her brow, and Su Dong came to the side of Bing Shentian, helping him up and straightening him out. She said lightly, "It must have been tough being trapped in that thing? The other day I used Zhu Xingtai, it was amazing, this thing actually has an automatic rotation mode, desperately absorbing my spiritual energy, and then attaching itself to the war armor."
"What's even stranger is that these mainland casting masters don't even understand how the Star Casting Platform was made, what principle it uses, they just know how to use it."
Su Dong was very quick-witted and changed his approach to contact this guy who was neither human nor ghost, just like two old friends chatting, using a calm tone, speaking very comfortably, since the guy was in Zhuxingtai, Su Dong specifically chose topics related to casting masters to chat.
"Ah, I reckon these new casting masters just took the ancient star-casting platform and used it directly, while the craftsmanship of making the star-casting platform has been lost. Who would have thought that the art of casting had declined to such an extent?"
As expected, Su Dong's words sparked this guy's interest, and he actually started chatting with Su Dong.
Su Dong sighed and said, "It's not just that, nowadays the casting masters are no longer willing to forge war armors. It's said that it's because forging war armors is too difficult and consumes too much spiritual power."
"How humiliating! How can they do this?!" The voice said indignantly.
"I want to accumulate spiritual energy and upgrade." Su Dong said with a flick of his tongue.
"Fools! All of you are fools! A blacksmith who doesn't want to craft Soul Armor, what's the point of learning this skill?! Moreover, being a blacksmith is different from others, it's a high-difficulty subject that requires technique, and one must use their spiritual power extensively in order to better grasp the techniques."
Sometimes it's just like that, a suitable topic can trigger a mysterious chemical reaction. For example, when dating a girl, talking about how great you are at playing games or discussing politics and war with her, isn't that crazy? You must scare the girls away.
Su Dong may not understand casting, but this does not prevent him from discussing this topic with others.
Moreover, Su Dongyue doesn't understand, which makes others seem even more formidable, satisfying the mysterious guy's vanity.
The voice became more and more excited, Su Dong also nodded vigorously, secretly flattering the other person. In a short time, it actually brought the two people closer together.
"My name is Su Dong, from Hansheng City, and you?" Su Dong said with a big smile.
"My name is Huan Yu."
"How did you run into the Ice God's rooftop? Moreover, this place is the Snow Demon's territory. The city was built here, it's too dangerous."
"What is this 'domain of the Snow Demon'?! This is clearly the domain of our revered Ice God! The Icebound City was established long before the Snow Demons even existed!"
Su Dong asked curiously, "So the Snow Demon is a later one? No, that's not right. According to the mainland's history, the Snow Demon has been living here for a long time. The guys behind the Wall of Gods have even launched several divine wars, and in the end, they all ended in defeat when trying to conquer the Snow Demon."
"What's 'The Wall of Gods'?" asked Phantom Rain curiously: "What is that thing?"
Su Dongdao said: "Oh, it's a very high city wall that separates the north and south. The south is called the Gods' Continent, and here is called the Forgotten Continent. Don't you know these things?"
Hanyu coldly smiled and said: "The Gods' Continent? These guys are really good at giving themselves names, at least in my memory there's no such thing."
Su Dongdao said, "Then you've lived long enough, as far as I know, the Wall of Gods has been established for many epochs. By the way, you haven't told me how you ended up in the Ice God's Sky Platform yet."
"Listen, I advise you to leave this place first and take a look around. If you can still speak afterwards, I'll tell you."
Nodding her head, Su Dong stored the Ice God's Heaven Platform in the Star Ring and stepped forward, being trapped here wasn't a solution, she needed to leave as soon as possible, after all, today was New Year's Day.
Through the icy tunnel, it was actually a huge ice-enclosed castle!
Enormous, unimaginable, incomprehensible enormity!
The ice and snow castle was actually over ten thousand meters high! Su Dong stood beside the railing and looked down, feeling dizzy and unreal.
The ice-encrusted city that had left Su Dong in awe was only the tip of this castle's iceberg. Beneath the snow and ice, a body even more massive than Mount Everest lay hidden.
Sigh~
Su Dong couldn't say a word, all of this had already exceeded his imagination!
Su Dong, who had never believed in the existence of gods, began to feel that this world might really have divine beings!
"What's wrong? Are you shocked? Are you scared?" Huan Yu said with a pleased smile, "Let's go, this is just the beginning. If you want to obtain the inheritance of the Ice God, you must pay the most painful price!"
Su Dong was taken aback and tilted his head to ask: "What heritage?"
"You little thief, you've stolen the Ice God Clan's Ice Sculpting Diagram! You traveled thousands of miles to the Ice God's domain and yet you don't even know what you're doing here?! Are you trying to infuriate me to death?!"
