2671 Hell Frost Springs
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered in silence.
If the eight Hells joined forces, it would indeed be quite troublesome.
Previously, when he killed Hell Lord Frost Springs, he caught the latter off guard and made use of the Hell Suppression Tripod.
If the combat strength of the eight Hell Lords was comparable to Hell Lord Frost Springs, once they joined forces, it would be difficult for him to defend even if he summoned the Hell Suppression Tripod.
The Netherworld Treasure Mirror was too evil and he did not know how to activate it.
The Soul Lantern was extremely harmful to the Essence Spirit and soul. However, it was difficult for the Soul Lantern to cause direct damage to the various Hell Lords who possessed actual bodies and bloodlines.
Furthermore, there was an invisible danger hidden in his Essence Martial Grotto-heaven.
Every time he released the Essence Martial Grotto-heaven, his spirit perception would warn him!
If this danger could not be resolved, he had to be careful in the future battles and could not casually summon the Essence Martial Grotto-heaven.
Fortunately, there were no Emperor realm experts in the Hell World under the envelopment of the Dharma Ending Era.
If he could take the most critical step in his Martial Dao, he would not be afraid even if the eight Hell Lords joined forces!
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, "Is there a place here where I can enter seclusion?"
Right now, the most important thing for him was to make the best use of his time and cultivate in seclusion. He had to absorb and digest the two sutras he had just obtained and perfect the next step of the Martial Dao.
After all, the eight Hells had been independent for many years.
It was not easy for all that power to join forces within a short period of time.
This was an opportunity for the Martial Dao Prime Body!
Consort Yu said, "Beside the Hell Frost Springs, there are a few secret chambers where the Hell Lord used to cultivate. There are array formations and restrictions engraved outside that prevent others from approaching."
"The Nether Qi beside the Frost Springs is also the richest and you can better absorb the power of the Hell Frost Springs."
"Alright."
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded. It was a good opportunity for him to experience the legendary Nine Springs of Hell that possessed strange powers.
Consort Yu sped into the depths of the hall with the Martial Dao Prime Body. The closer they were to the back of the hall, the colder the temperature became!
The surrounding hall was clearly covered in a layer of frost.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Consort Yu reminded, "The Frost Springs exudes a bone-chilling coldness and has an obvious suppression on living beings of other bloodlines. It's the most harmful to aquatic living beings."
As an Ancient Nether race being, Consort Yu was born from the Frost Springs and was resistant to the Hell Frost Springs.
However, other living beings of Hell could not approach at all!
The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent.
As the two of them went deeper and the temperature decreased, Consort Yu was fine. However, she was surprised to discover that the Martial Dao Prime Body could move freely as well, as though he was not affected at all!
On the contrary, when she stood beside the Martial Dao Prime Body, she could still sense that there was a gigantic walking furnace beside her that was warm and extremely comfortable.
Even Ancient Nether race beings from the other Hells had to release Grotto-heavens to defend against the chill!
The two of them passed through a long passageway and before long, their vision cleared up.
What entered their vision was a gigantic lake that was filled with mist and transformed into various living beings in midair.
At the center of the lake, a water stream the size of a well could be seen surging continuously.
Broop, broop.
The spring water flowed towards the surroundings, creating ripples that formed the gigantic Frost Springs Lake.
If he was not wrong, the surging water in the middle of the lake should be the eye of the Hell Frost Springs!
The Martial Dao Prime Body swept his gaze and realized that he could vaguely see traces of the mud beneath his feet being submerged by the Frost Springs previously.
Consort Yu explained, "I heard that before the Dharma Ending Era of Hell, the water flowing in the Frost Springs was much larger than what we saw before. The lake formed was also several times larger than the one before us and could drown more than half of this main hall!"
"Later on, the world shattered, the Great Dao was damaged and the laws were incomplete. As a result, the Frost Springs gradually dried up and the lake shrank, resulting in its current state."
The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at the Hell Frost Springs before him in deep thought.
The Nether Qi around the Hell Frost Springs was indeed the densest.
In other words, it was not an exaggeration to call it the center of Frost Springs Hell.
Its use and status might be even more important than the Builder Tree to the Heavenly World!
In the Heavenly World, the Builder Tree could gather Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and form a regional continent suitable for all kinds of living beings to cultivate.
As for the Hell Frost Springs before him, it could be said to be the source of the Nether Qi in Frost Springs Hell!
The spring water was different from the Builder Tree.
The Builder Tree grew in the central area of the Heavenly World and was motionless.
As for the spring water, it flowed continuously and traced its source. There had to be a spring on the other side of the Frost Springs.
The eye of the Hell Frost Springs was right in front of the Martial Dao Prime Body. In that case, where was the source of the spring?
The Martial Dao Prime Body was curious as to what kind of spring source could evolve into such dense Nether Qi. The powerful power even nourished the spring water of the entire Frost Springs Hell!
The Martial Dao Prime Body stepped forward and arrived at the side of the Frost Springs Lake.
The temperature by the lake was even lower!
Even with the terrifying blood qi of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could feel a needle-like chilliness on his body. His eyebrows and long hair were covered in a layer of frost.
He looked towards the Frost Springs Lake and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Through the layers of coldness, one could vaguely see balls of light of various shapes floating in the lake, nurturing different living beings.
There were humans, demons, giants and Dragons…
At a glance, there were countless living beings of the ten thousand races.
Those balls of light were like fetal membranes.
The living beings in the fetal membranes were souls that had entered the Hell Dao.
The souls soaked in the water of the Frost Springs and absorbed the power of the Hell Frost Springs continuously, using that power to gradually derive flesh and blood to obtain new life!
The souls that had just entered the Frost Springs Lake sank to the bottom of the lake.
As time passed, these souls absorbed enough power and regained their bodies. When they were about to wake up, they would float up.
That scene looked a little strange and hair-raising!
There were also some guards guarding the Frost Springs Lake.
The guards already knew the outcome of the battle outside and looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body with fear.
Consort Yu explained, "These are the escort guards of the Ancient Nether race who guard this place. For the transformed Ancient Nether race, guards will guide them and impart the Dao to awaken their bloodlines before letting them head over to cultivate the Frost Springs Section."
Following Consort Yu's gaze, the Martial Dao Prime Body saw a tall stele standing beside the Frost Springs Lake.
There were dense words engraved on it, all of them strange runes.
The Martial Dao Prime Body approached and read the Frost Springs Section from top to bottom.
He first read the general section of the Nine Springs Hell Sutra before reading the Frost Springs Section. It was much smoother and some obscure points became easy to understand.
The Martial Dao Prime Body memorized the Frost Springs Section again before arriving at a secret cultivation chamber at the side under Consort Yu's guidance.
Although it was called a secret chamber, it was actually rather spacious and was equivalent to a rather large cave abode. There were many miscellaneous items inside.
The Martial Dao Prime Body gave Consort Yu a few more instructions before entering seclusion in the secret chamber to cultivate.
This seclusion was extremely important. It would be a leap of a major realm that determined the upper limit of the Martial Dao in the future!
