132: Chapter 132 Divine Inheritance, Goddess Appears!

Since he could not enter the Ice Flame Cave for the time being, Su Ling went directly to the main hall of the Ice Flame Sect to rest, waiting until the next morning.

"My Lord, the passage to the Ice Flame Cave was not damaged much; perhaps they ran out of time. After excavating all night, it has now been successfully cleared and opened, but..." Ice Leopard Douluo paused.

"Continue!" Su Ling said.

"The Ice Flame Cave was severely damaged and is almost unusable. The condensed Ice Flame is less than one-tenth of what it used to be," Ice Leopard Douluo said.

Su Ling: "Then isn't this Ice Flame Cave ruined?"

"Yes, the space previously in the Ice Flame Cave is ruined. It used to be beneficial for Titled Douluo cultivation, but now it might only be of some benefit to Spirit Masters below the Spirit Ancestor Rank."

"However, perhaps due to the damage, a larger opening was revealed nearby. The Ice Flame inside is stronger than before. After I ventured more than three hundred meters deep, I discovered... I discovered a huge space, and the space is filled with extremely terrifying Ice Flame."

"The strength of this Ice Flame is such that I dare not get too close! Furthermore, I vaguely discovered a palace, as if there is a great horror inside," Ice Leopard Douluo said.

"There's even a palace?"

"Interesting. The people of the Ice Flame Sect wanted to destroy the Ice Flame Cave, but who would have thought they might have exposed the true secret of the Ice Flame Cave? Perhaps even Ice Flame Douluo didn't know about this place."

"Take me to see it!" Su Ling said.

"My Lord, please!" Ice Leopard Douluo said.

"Also, keep the Ice Flame Cave a secret. If anyone asks, just say the Ice Flame Cave was destroyed by the people of the Ice Flame Sect," Su Ling said.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Before long, the two arrived back inside the Ice Flame Cave. At this time, the Ice Flame Cave was already passable.

Venturing deep into the Ice Flame Cave, the passage sloped downward, meaning these Ice Flames originated from deeper underground.

"This was the core area of the former Ice Flame Cave. The surroundings were bombarded by people using Spirit Abilities, so it doesn't look very good now, and the Ice Flame has decreased a lot."

In front of the two was a space of about a hundred square meters. Ice Flames surrounded the perimeter, and only a platform with a diameter of three meters in the center was free of Ice Flame.

This must have been the cultivation area for Ice Flame Douluo and the others.

Looking around, the walls were damaged, and in the furthest corner, there was another opening about the height of a person.

"My Lord, the place I mentioned is accessed from here," Ice Leopard Douluo said.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Su Ling said.

Entering the Ice Flame Cave, it was obvious that the power of the Ice Flame inside had instantly increased by more than tenfold.

"My Lord, the Ice Flame here is already stronger than the one outside, and stronger than when I came here to experience it before."

"It is indeed much stronger. Ice attribute Spirit Masters do indeed benefit from cultivating in this kind of environment, and this environment is natural, which is much better than a simulated cultivation environment."

"Baozi, your Sects were all established in places naturally conducive to cultivation. Your Sect must also have a good place like the Ice Flame Cave, right?" Su Ling said.

Ice Leopard Douluo said: "My Lord, naturally there is. My Ice Leopard Sect has a natural cultivation site, but the cultivation effect there is not even half that of the Ice Flame Cave."

"If I could have cultivated in the Ice Flame Cave for a long time, I reckon I would be at least Rank 94 by now."

Cultivation talent is certainly important, but resources are also an indispensable and important link.

The two continued to venture deeper. As the Ice Flame became more abundant, its power and intensity also grew.

Su Ling himself was no longer afraid of the Ice Flame, and the Ice Flame here had not yet reached the ultimate level; compared to Snow Empress's ice attribute Soul Power, it was still a bit lacking.

After all, Ice Leopard Douluo was also an ice attribute Spirit Master, so naturally, it was easier for him to endure it.

Continuing downward, the original cultivation platform of the Ice Flame Cave was estimated to be tens of meters underground, and now they had gone down another two hundred meters or so.

At this moment, Su Ling and Ice Leopard Douluo arrived at a platform.

Although there was no Ice Flame on this platform, the surrounding Ice Flame was extremely strong. At this time, Ice Leopard Douluo was already circulating his Soul Power, his Martial Soul possessing his body directly.

Looking at the ground, Su Ling said: "Baozi, are you the only one who has been here?"

"My Lord, you have felt the Ice Flame here; even I have to use Martial Soul possession. Other Spirit Masters in the Sect are almost unable to reach here without using their Martial Soul Avatar."

Ice Leopard Douluo looked at Su Ling again, thinking to himself that even he had used his Martial Soul Avatar, yet Su Ling was completely unaffected. He was truly worthy of being an expert capable of easily killing Ice Flame Douluo.

"Look, doesn't that look like a footprint!" Su Ling pointed not far away. That area was clearly different from other places, as if someone had frequently cultivated there.

Ice Leopard Douluo looked over and carefully observed the faint footprint. After a while, he said: "My Lord, this is not Ice Flame Douluo's footprint. Ice Flame Douluo's footprint should be much larger than this. Could this be a woman's footprint?"

"Apart from Ice Flame Douluo, who could frequently Cultivate here? Could it... could it be the footprint of Snow Dragon Douluo, Xue Muyan?" Ice Leopard Douluo guessed.

"Snow Dragon Douluo is the strongest person here, and she is overbearing. Every year, Ice Flame Douluo could only yield two months of time for Snow Dragon Douluo to Cultivate."

"If one could Cultivate in this place for a long time, it would certainly be better than that platform outside. Ice Flame Douluo probably didn't know of this place's existence; otherwise, he should have broken through to Rank 96 long ago, rather than waiting so long to reach Rank 96," Ice Leopard Douluo analyzed.

When Snow Dragon Douluo saw that the Ice Flame Sect was facing a crisis of annihilation, she came immediately. If not for the Ice Flame Cave, what else could it be?

Seeking out Su Ling alone should also be for this reason.

Looking at this platform again, Su Ling looked left and right; it was about twenty square meters, not very large. Walking to the edge of the platform and looking down, it was bottomless.

One could only see endless Ice Flame burning, and they were all Ultimate Ice Flames. If an ordinary person were to enter this Ice Flame, they would probably be burned to ashes instantly.

Looking down from the edge of the platform, just as Ice Leopard Douluo had seen, there was a phantom below, resembling a palace.

"My Lord, I only explored up to here before!" Ice Leopard Douluo said.

"Let me see." After Su Ling finished speaking, he activated his Eye of True Sight.

Piercing through layers of Ice Flame, at a position about a thousand meters below this cliff, there was indeed an ice-blue palace, as if it were built of blue crystal.

And around the ice-blue palace, it was empty; there was nothing at all!

"Baozi, you stay on guard above, I will go down and take a look," Su Ling said.

"My Lord, then you must be careful. I always feel that there is something very powerful down there watching us," Ice Leopard Douluo said.

"It's fine!" Su Ling said.

After speaking, a pair of wings appeared behind Su Ling. Ice Leopard Douluo had already seen this external Spirit Bone.

And the next instant, a suit of Golden Dragon Armor condensed on Su Ling's body again, and he leaped down.

"Another, another external Spirit Bone? My Lord actually possesses two external Spirit Bones on his body. No wonder he didn't even look at the 60,000-year Spirit Bone on Ice Flame Douluo."

"You must be careful!" Ice Leopard Douluo whispered.

As for Su Ling, his defense was already maxed out.

As soon as he made contact with the ultimate Ice Flame below, a burning sensation came over him. One must know that he had already experienced Body Refining with ice and fire.

Fortunately, this was merely a burning sensation, and it was still within his tolerance.

Boom... Su Ling landed!

Below, there was actually no Ice Flame present, and Su Ling also deactivated the two external Spirit Bones on his body.

A great horror exists? Su Ling looked left and right, but did not find anything.

This might be Ice Leopard Douluo scaring himself.

Su Ling walked straight toward the ice-blue palace.

Stepping onto the stairs step by step, the originally dim surrounding space began to light up. After walking up the stairs, with a bang, the palace gate actually opened automatically.

Someone? Or a Spirit Beast! But Su Ling did not sense the presence of any person or Spirit Beast.

Standing outside, Su Ling looked inside. The palace was empty, with only a huge statue four or five meters tall.

The statue was of a woman, very beautiful.

Go in or not? After thinking for a moment, Su Ling stepped in. After entering, the palace door behind him immediately closed, locking Su Ling inside.

The next instant, an ice-blue beam of light appeared above the statue, shining down and slowly condensing into a phantom.

[Ding... Detected a Divine-Grade Goddess within 500 meters of the Host with a Goddess Comprehensive Value exceeding 90!]

[Divine-Grade Goddess: God of Ice and Flame (Descent State)]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 103]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: 1]

Seeing the values detected in the System, Su Ling was stunned. There was actually a Goddess Comprehensive Value exceeding one hundred!

After all, she is a God... A Divine-Grade Goddess is very reasonable!

What level of Divinity is this God of Ice and Flame? Second-class or third-class?

[Divine-Grade Goddess (Before Binding): The Host can obtain a Red Treasure Chest (100%) by gaining her favorability, a small chance to obtain a Golden Treasure Chest (10%), and a very small chance to obtain a Super Treasure Chest (1%)]

[Divine-Grade Goddess (After Binding): The Host can obtain a Golden Treasure Chest (100%) by gaining her favorability, a small chance to obtain a Super Treasure Chest (10%), and a very small chance to obtain a Divine-Grade Treasure Chest (1%)]

There was even a Divine-Grade Treasure Chest. The more Su Ling looked, the more amazed he became.

At this moment, the God of Ice and Flame, who had appeared as a phantom, looked at Su Ling's surprised expression, revealed a smile, and then immediately put on a cold expression.

She looked at Su Ling carefully, and this time it was her turn to be surprised.

"Your Soul Power is only at Rank 70+, how did you get here?" God of Ice and Flame looked at Su Ling curiously and asked.

"Eh, your Soul Power! How can it be that... that kind of Soul Power!"

[Ding... Favorability of God of Ice and Flame + 1, obtained Red Treasure Chest * 1]

Originally, seeing Su Ling's amazed look, she had wanted to show off, but she did not expect that the other party's situation would also make her, a God, marvel as well.

Su Ling said: "The ultimate Ice Flame outside did indeed cause me harm, but it was still within my tolerance."

God of Ice and Flame nodded and said: "Let me introduce myself. I am the God of Ice and Flame. This is a Legacy point I set on this continent. Theoretically, as long as someone can safely reach here, I will grant them the Legacy of the God of Ice and Flame. However, this Divinity of mine is only a third-class Divinity, and your potential should not be limited to this."

Hearing that it was a third-class Divinity, Su Ling was a bit disappointed!

"You don't have to be disheartened. With your talent, you will sooner or later obtain a suitable Divinity Legacy," God of Ice and Flame said.

"I understand!" Su Ling said.

"Although I cannot grant you the Legacy, I will give this to you as compensation."

As God of Ice and Flame spoke, she waved her hand, and a ball of light condensed and slowly drifted toward Su Ling.

"This is a spirit ring that can condense up to 100,000 years. Consider it my compensation to you! You can naturally use it when you need it," God of Ice and Flame said.

"Thank you!" Su Ling took the god-bestowed spirit ring.

God of Ice and Flame probably thought that for the Spirit Masters of the current Douluo Continent, a 100,000-year spirit ring was already the absolute peak.

"May I ask, what are the conditions for others to inherit your Divinity? I have quite a few young Spirit Masters with high talent around me; perhaps they could inherit your Divinity," Su Ling said.

God of Ice and Flame said: "First, one must have an ice attribute Martial Soul, then be able to pass through the layers of Ice Flame above. Secondly, one must gain my recognition within this palace. After I grant recognition, once the successor's Soul Power reaches Rank 99, I can pass on the Divinity to them."

"In addition, if someone helps and they come down by taking shortcuts, they cannot obtain the qualification for the Legacy."

Su Ling said: "Thank you for your clarification, I understand!"

He had originally wanted to say that he could just bring people down directly, but this last sentence undoubtedly made him dispel that thought.

"Then goodbye. My Divine Power is limited, so I will not see you out," God of Ice and Flame said, and the palace door opened again.

Su Ling bowed to God of Ice and Flame and then retreated.

Just as Su Ling retreated, with a bang, the palace gate behind him closed.

[Ding... Favorability of God of Ice and Flame + 1, obtained Golden Treasure Chest * 1]

The harvest was not bad! One Red Treasure Chest, one Golden Treasure Chest, and one god-bestowed spirit ring.

The light of the palace behind him disappeared, which meant that God of Ice and Flame had left.

Looking at the Ice Flame above, it was about a thousand meters away. Could he Teleport up?

Su Ling's heart stirred. Originally, this Teleportation ability of Xiao Wu could teleport 200 meters at a time, but he only teleported less than fifty meters before being blocked beneath the Ice Flame.

It seems the test set by God of Ice and Flame was also well-thought-out; Teleportation that cannot ignore space is ineffective.

Then what about this Teleportation ability? Su Ling released the Golden Dragon Armor and Void Wind-Thunder Wings again!

However, the Void Wind-Thunder Wings could Teleport by ignoring space, but the distance would be reduced by one-tenth, with a maximum distance of only one hundred meters.

Activating the ability, he Teleported up again. This time, Su Ling entered the Ice Flame, and within this space, Su Ling's Teleportation distance increased. Before long, Su Ling jumped onto the previous platform.

"My Lord, you are finally back. What was down there?" Ice Leopard Douluo asked.

Su Ling said: "There is indeed a terrifying existence down there, and the power of the Ultimate Ice Flame is not weak. It is very difficult for ordinary people to pass through. Let's go. Keep this place a secret, and also seal its entrance; no one is allowed to enter without my permission."

"Alright, I will handle it immediately," Ice Leopard Douluo said.

After going out, Su Ling also met Bing Xinghe and his party!

"Greetings, City Lord!" "Thank you for your guidance, City Lord, so that we could avenge this bloody feud."

Su Ling said: "There is no need to say more about this. You have also fought with the Ice Leopard Sect; I hope you can also turn the page, as both sides have suffered casualties."

"Yes, City Lord, we will definitely restrain our Family Disciples and let go of the grudge."

Su Ling added: "Very good. I have also spoken to Baozi regarding the Ice Leopard Sect; from now on, get along well."

"In addition, Old Bing, you invite the medium and large forces in the Extreme North to hold a banquet in Fengxue City seven days from now to celebrate my position as City Lord."

"City Lord, we have the same intention. However, seven days is a bit short for the renovation of the City Lord's Mansion, but it is not a big problem; it can be completed by rushing the work for two days."

"By the way, City Lord, just now news came that the other two major Sects, Snow Dragon Sect, have occupied a city and renamed it Snow Dragon City. The other city was occupied by Frost Sword Sect and renamed Frost Sword City. Does Fengxue City need to be renamed?" Bing Xinghe said.

"Rename it?" Su Ling pondered for a moment and then said: "No need. Let's keep this name. From now on, you don't need to call me City Lord; just call me City Lord Su."

"Yes, City Lord Su!" The three of them bowed at the same time.
