Ye Tian couldn't move, his body completely encased in Profound Ice. If he were free, he would have been tempted to see for himself if Ye Lin was really a woman. 'This is simply unbelievable!'
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python was satisfied when it saw the shocked expression on Ye Tian's face. This was exactly the kind of stunned look she wanted to see.
"Boss, why aren't you saying anything? Are you not used to like this, or do you think I'm ugly?" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python asked.
Ye Tian gave the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python a helpless look and said, "I'm encased in Profound Ice right now. I'll ask you about it after I get out. Now is not the ti."
"Getting out is easy! The Snake King and I can help you. How about we break you out of this ice right now?" said the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python.
"I'm trying to absorb the Water Elent Particles within this Profound Ice; otherwise, why would I be suffering like this? But you really gave a huge surprise. For a mont, it felt like I was dreaming," Ye Tian said.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python wanted to say more, but she held back when she saw Ye Tian on the ground, already closing his eyes to ditate. 'Perhaps transforming into a woman will be helpful to his future conquests.'
Ye Tian was still in great discomfort. The feeling of the chill entering his body was not sothing just anyone could endure. If not for the Defense Power of his Divine Dragon Battle Body Third Layer, this chill might have already claid his life.
Pushing aside the shock from the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's transformation, Ye Tian once again used his Divine Sense to perceive the frigid Profound Ice Elent Particles. He had to establish communication with them.
When his Divine Sense touched these Profound Ice Elent Particles, it felt like being plunged into an ice cellar. He couldn't help but want to tremble all over, but encased in Profound Ice, he was powerless to even shiver.
His Divine Sense instinctively recoiled, which frustrated Ye Tian imnsely. But there was nothing he could do except force himself to experience the unpleasant sensation over and over.
Ye Tian knew the Profound Ice Elent was actually similar to the Gold Elent. To fully communicate with it, he had to do so patiently and with his entire being, allowing himself to rge with it completely.
After countless failures, Ye Tian finally made a sliver of progress. He could feel the coldness afflicting his body had lessened considerably, though the pain remained almost as intense.
At the sa ti, the Profound Ice covering him also seed to be slowly lting. Profound Ice wouldn't normally lt easily, not even under a scorching sun. The fact that it was lting now proved that Ye Tian had genuinely made progress in communicating with the Profound Ice Elent Particles.
After an unknown amount of ti, all the Profound Ice Particles inside Ye Tian's body had gathered in a corner beside his Dantian, maintaining a careful distance from his Gold Elental Pearl and Thunder Elental Pearl.
However, there weren't enough Elent Particles to form a full Elental Pearl yet. Still, a basic embryonic form had appeared, which made Ye Tian extrely happy.
Although Ye Tian couldn't yet resonate with these Profound Ice Elent Particles, he had at least established communication. 'Resonance will take ti. I can't be impatient.'
The Profound Ice on his body had vanished without him realizing it. Ye Tian stopped communicating with the Ice Elents, and the chill in his body disappeared completely. He was free.
Ye Tian didn't know if his Defense Power had increased or if his Divine Dragon Battle Body had achieved another breakthrough. The only thing he could clearly sense was the Water Elent Particles in the air.
"Boss, you're finally back! You were like that for a full seven days! Did you make any progress?" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said.
Only then did Ye Tian get a good look at the Snake King and the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, discovering that the latter had reverted to her winged python form.
"There's definitely been progress. I still can't resonate with the Water Elent, but I can barely communicate with it. If I go into the river now, it shouldn't feel so cold," Ye Tian said.
"Young Master, that would be wonderful! This is the very reason I had you jump into the river! There's a treasure in there, one that perhaps only a genius like yourself can obtain," the Snake King said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian's face filled with confusion. "Snake King, are you saying you brought here on purpose? Was there actually another water source nearby? And what is this treasure you're talking about?"
"Young Master, your talent is extraordinary and your mastery of the Elents is unrivaled. I brought you here precisely because this river contains a Profound Ice Pearl. It is a pearl ford from the Water Elent, and its Energy is no weaker than an Ore Core," the Snake King said to Ye Tian with a serious expression.
Ye Tian was slightly moved. "A Profound Ice Pearl? Are you sure it's in this river? How did you know about it?" he asked.
This was sothing the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python wanted to know as well. Both of them looked at the Snake King, waiting for his explanation.
"The fact that there's a Profound Ice Pearl in this river isn't actually a secret. Many Demon Beasts know about it. It's just that none of them have ever been able to retrieve it.
"For one, the Profound Ice Qi on the Profound Ice Pearl is too powerful for the Demon Beasts in this High-Level Region to withstand. Secondly, there aren't any Demon Beasts with the Ice Attribute around here. So even if they see the treasure, they can't get it.
"Furthermore, on the night of a full moon, the Profound Ice Pearl floats to the surface as if to absorb the moonlight. It's quite spiritual. It probably won't be long before it becos one of the Spiritual Objects, and when that happens, it might leave the river for good," the Snake King explained.
"There's such a thing? That's bizarre. Even though I can barely communicate with Water Elent Particles, I doubt I'd be able to resist the cold from the Profound Ice Pearl itself!" Ye Tian said.
"Don't be discouraged, Young Master. There are still three days until the full moon. You can use this ti to continue communicating with the Water Elent Particles. We believe you can do it," said the Snake King.
Ye Tian nodded. 'If I can get this Profound Ice Pearl and absorb its Profound Ice Qi, I might be able to form a Water Elental Pearl in my body. Then I might even be able to learn Water Slash.'
'Although that's what I'm hoping,' Ye Tian thought, 'I've only scratched the surface of my Gold Slash. Who knows when I'll be ready to cultivate Water Slash.'
Ye Tian then turned to the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. "Ye Lin, how did you turn into a woman? What's that all about? I haven't even had a chance to ask you."
"Hehe, Boss, am I pretty as a woman? Do you like it?" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python asked flirtatiously.
Ye Tian felt a dark line forming on his forehead. 'How could she even think like that? That's just... wrong.'
So, with his expression darkening, he replied, "You are pretty, yes. You're my underling, so of course I like you. But you still haven't told the reason for this!"
