Upon reaching the shore, Shui Yanjun instructed the members of his family to stay away from the pool for the time being.
The protective power guarding the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow dissipated, and the energy contained within it slowly permeated into the water.
After some time, these waters would also possess some of the effects of the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow.
"It's been so many days, I wonder if the patriarch has found a suitable fifth soul ring..."
Having arranged matters concerning the pool, Lord Shuiyan's thoughts turned to Shui Wuya.
If he was only seeking a soul ring capable of enduring extreme conditions, this period of time should have been sufficient to find one.
Noticing Shui Wuya's absence, Shui Yanjun could roughly surmise that Shui Wuya harbored great ambitions.
...
In the Extreme north.
Several days had passed since the Ice Emperor breakthrough.
Shui Wuya had gradually entrusted all the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow here to Shui Bing'er.
Finally stepping out of the ice cave, he once again beheld the sky outside.
"Finally out." Shui Wuya sighed with emotion.
"Master, what's our next move?" Han Feng asked.They still haven't found a suitable hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Shui Wuya's fifth soul ring still hasn't been found.
"Of course, we'll continue searching for soul rings in the Extreme North. There's nowhere else in the world more suitable for me than the Extreme North," Shui Wuya said.
The Ice Emperor appeared by Shui Wuya's side; naturally, she had experience in finding Ice Silkworms.
Worried that Shui Wuya might be anxious, the Ice Emperor reassured him, "Ice Silkworms are rare, and to find a hundred-thousand-year-old one, we can only rely on luck while searching the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow."
"Lucky ones like the Tianmeng Iceworm are extremely rare."
"However, if we find Ice Silkworms in the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow, their age will certainly not be lacking," the Ice Emperor said.
"After all, this race doesn't do anything besides eating and sleeping," the Ice Emperor added, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
Wasn't the life of a Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exactly like that?
"So, finding the right Ice Silkworm is just a matter of time," the Ice Emperor said.
Suddenly, Shui Wuya's steps halted, and his eyes lit up. "Did you say time?"
He realized he had overlooked something.
That something was that he could ask Shui Bing'er for help!
Shui Bing'er had much more time available than him, and she had more options.
Moreover, after becoming the Ice God in the future, Shui Bing'er would undoubtedly find it easy to help him find Ice Silkworms before ascending to the Divine Realm!
Thinking this, Shui Wuya instructed Han Feng to rest for a while and contacted Shui Bing'er himself.
The scene appeared, showing Shui Binger in a secret realm.
She had piled the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow into an ice mountain, and the environment around her had been altered by the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow.
Shui Bing'er was sitting cross-legged near the ice mountain, absorbing the energy of the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow.
"Ancestor," Shui Wuya spoke, waking Shui Bing'er from her cultivation.
"There's something I need your help with. Keep an eye on the Extreme North in the future. If there are Ice Silkworms sleeping in the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow, note their locations, don't disturb them, I have use for them."
"Ice Silkworms?" Shui Bing'er pondered for a moment, recalling something about this type of soul beast.
"Are you referring to ones like the Tianmeng Iceworm?" Shui Bing'er remembered that Shui Wuya had mentioned Tianmeng Iceworm before.
"They belong to the same race. Remember, just knowing their locations is enough, don't disturb them."
"You want Ice Silkworms to become your soul beasts, right? I understand," Shui Bing'ers mind quickly grasped what Shui Wuya wanted to do.
"In the future, I'll note their locations and keep it as a secret for our family inheritance.""This is perfect," Shui Wuya said after speaking with Shui Bing'er, then ended the conversation.
[Shui Binger's fate has changed. You have obtained the Family Inheritance Scroll.]
A notification sound appeared in Shui Wuya's ear.
Shui Wuya checked his storage soul device and indeed found a sealed scroll.
Taking out the scroll, it was enveloped in a dense aura of extreme ice power, but under Shui Wuya's ice immunity, he ignored the extreme ice directly.
Opening the scroll, Shui Wuya discovered that it was actually a book protected within the scroll...
The scroll was just an external protection.
Unrolling the book, flipping to the first page, Shui Wuya saw a marked location of Ice Silkworms.
However, from the map, Shui Wuya couldn't see the exact location.
He wasn't worried, flipping to the second page.
Sure enough, on the second page, it was evident that the recorder had found a problem. Apart from a detailed map, there was also a rough one added.
The scale was very large, with cities and obvious landmarks as reference points.
"Ten thousand years... Ten thousand years..."
Shui Wuya quickly searched.
His goal was only the hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Although Ice Silkworms absorbed the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow, in reality, their age increased much faster than time.
However, compared to the ten times speed near the Ice and Fire Eyes, it was evidently much slower.
Soon, Shui Wuya found his target.
There was still a day's journey from their current location.
The map was marked very clearly, but if it had been rougher, they might have taken two to three days to find it.
The twenty individuals from the Sun Moon Empire entering the Extreme North were tasked with finding the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow.
Their presence indicated there was intelligence, but they hadn't found anything, indicating the difficulty of the task.
The ten thousand years of profound ice marrow lay deep underground, and the Ice Silkworms slept within it.
The ten thousand years of profound ice marrow was extremely rare, an ultimate treasure of ice attribute.
If it weren't for Shui Binger, it's unlikely anyone else could obtain such a clear booklet in Shui Wuya's hands.
A day later, following the guidance of the booklet, Shui Wuya arrived at an open space."Master, is it here?" Han Feng asked, looking at the flat ground.
"Yes, it's here," Shui Wuya confirmed after comparing it with the map.
When Shui Binger searched for Ice Silkworms, her strength was already very strong.
It was reasonable for her to be able to find Ice Silkworms sleeping underground. Shui Wuya thought to himself, feeling somewhat troubled at the moment.
He didn't know how Shui Binger had found the Ice Silkworms. However, for them now, the problem was how to find the ten thousand years of profound ice marrow below.
The cave of the Ice Emperor was carved out by the Ice Emperor herself.
"Let me go down and take a look first. As a spiritual entity, I won't be obstructed," Octagon said, jumping onto Shui Wuya's shoulder.
"I'll go. You don't need to intervene," the Ice Emperor appeared beside them, her face icy.
"Finding Ice Silkworms is something I excel at."
With that, the Ice Emperor plunged into the snow without hesitation.
Shui Wuya could sense the Ice Emperor rapidly descending underground.
