"Nova, thank you for telling me this!" David thanked Nova from the bottom of his heart.
She was a Pre-Divine Partial, so what Nova said had little effect on her. At most, it only aroused his curiosity and made him want to find out what was going on.
However, Nova does not know the advantages of David. He still thought that David was just a True Saint. Even with outside help, he was still somewhat dwarfed in strength when facing the four ancient True Saint leading elders of the Iridescent Sect.
Moreover, the Iridescent Sect hid many secrets. This may surprise David. Therefore, he would tell David everything and give David a thorough knowledge, so as not to let his guard down when the time came.
"David, I'm actually selfish. My family has been living in the Iridescent Sect since my grandmaster generation. We have feelings for this sect. It was only a secret in the forbidden area that cast a layer of shadow on this sect. I want the sect to return to normal so that the strong ones who broke through the Saint Realm will not disappear, but I do not have the ability, so I hope to get your help to find the secrets in the forbidden area."
Nova did not hide and instantly revealed the thoughts in her heart. David was very happy with this. He dislikes people who refuse to say what is in their heads, especially those who are narrow-minded and cunning.
'If you have something to say, just say it directly. In the end, if I decide to help you, it means we have a mutual sense of caring. If not, I also have the right not to. Just like Nova.'
"Nova, after I save Celeste and then bring Celia and the others, I will help you explore the forbidden area of the Iridescent Sect." David agreed.
"Thank you, David!" nova said happily.
"That's nothing! Then, can we go to the ice cave now?"
"Wait, let me tell you some basic information about the leading elders in the Iridescent Sect. If you want to save Elder Red, you will definitely meet them. Knowing more about them will also help you."
"No...Well...Alright..Thank you Nova!"
David said it was not necessary. But after thinking about it, he did not say it. Nova took such a big risk with good intentions. While not so useful to David, Nova already has good intentions. It would be impolite to refuse.
Then Nova began to explain carefully to David. In fact, he also did not know so much about the four leading elders. But as the sect head, he had more contact with the four leading elders than anyone else.
The four leading elders had lived for a very long time, but no one knew exactly how many years it had been. After all, the Iridescent Sect was established by the four of them.
According to the ranking, the four of them were Marin, Ursa, Eira, and Giada. Master Celeste was the leading elder of the Cecil family, who was ranked third.
After more than ten minutes, David followed Nova out of the room and went to the ice cave of the Iridescent Sect. Along the way, Nova was cautious, for fear of being discovered by a prominent elder.
He did not know that if David did not want to, even a Sacred Saint could not find him, let alone just a True Saint. There was no problem on the way, and the two arrived at the entrance of the ice cave.
From afar, David could feel a chill emanating from him. As expected of an ice cave, this coldness alone was not something an ordinary person could endure. Ordinary people might freeze into ice sculptures as soon as they approached.
"David, Elder Red is on the last floor under the ice cave. I will not accompany you there. If there was any movement here, the leading elders would definitely know about it" Nova said as he looked at the ice cave entrance ahead.
"Thank you, Nova! I can go down by myself, so you need to leave as soon as possible. It would be so bad if you got caught."
"Then you have to be careful. Even though I am the head of the Iridescent Sect, there is nothing I can do but give you some information and guide you."
"That's enough!"
"David, if there are any unexpected problems, try to ensure your own safety first. You have a very unique talent. Even in the entire history of Star Kingdom, nothing compares to you. As long as you're given a little more time, I'm sure you can do better. Elder Red will be fine even after a few more years, so don't make a mistake over something trivial. If you run into trouble, Celia and the others won't be able to accept that." Before leaving, Nova persuaded again.
"I understand! Thanks for reminding me, Nova. I'm 100% sure I can save Celeste, so don't worry!" David replied with a smile.
"Well, then, I'll go first. Careful."
After Nova finished speaking, she turned around and quickly disappeared from David's sight.
David watched Nova leave. Then, he turned around and walked straight towards the entrance of the ice cave without the slightest hesitation. As a Partial Pre-Divine, there was no place in Star Kingdom that she was afraid to enter.
After he entered the ice cave, a cold air swept towards David as if it was alive. However, just as he was about to touch David's body...
"Huff!" David grunted heavily.
A powerful cold air was immediately swept back as if it had encountered a terrifying enemy. David ignored him and continued to step into the depths of the ice cave. Wherever he stepped, not only did the cold air voluntarily retreat, but even the ice cubes that had been on the ground for thousands of years automatically melted to give way to him.
If Nova saw this scene, he would be extremely shocked and speechless. He was not afraid of being cold for a moment. But even the leading elders could not make the cold air retreat or make the thousands of years old ice under their feet automatically melt to make way.
David followed the ice cave passage to a wider place. Here, he saw many ice sculptures. This must have been a disciple of the Iridescent Sect who made a big mistake and was sent to be punished here.
David ignored them and continued walking. The lower he went, the heavier the cold air and the fewer the ice sculptures. When he reached the bottom of the ice cave, the cold air had reached the most extreme level. Of course it still eluded David, unwilling to approach him.
When he reached the bottom of the ice cave, David felt a familiar energy and took a closer look. Then, he saw an ice sculpture standing alone not far away.
From the outside, the person inside the ice sculpture was faintly seen wearing a red dress.
'Celeste!'
Although the ice was thick and David could not see the person's appearance clearly, he knew the person in the ice sculpture was Celeste. David has mixed feelings for Celeste. The other party gave him a different and even more memorable experience than his time with Celia.
While she was with Celia, she felt it was a natural progression, but when she was with Celeste, it felt like a sudden surge in a very peaceful life. Back then, David had just broken through to the Eternal Realm while Celeste was a late stage Sovereign Ranker. If not for the accident, neither of them would be in the current situation.
In fact, until now, they had never made physical contact. They never touch each other's fingers, but they know every part of each other's bodies!
After noticing Celeste's ice sculpture in silence for a while, David said, "Celeste! I'm here to save you."
However, he did not get a response from the other party. David frowned. He could feel Celeste's Life Flame burning so brightly. But why did he not answer?
It was impossible for him not to hear it at such a close distance.
'Could the extremely cold air inside the ice cave have affected Celeste's character?
Didn't Nova say that there would be no problem for a late stage Sovereign Ranker to last ten or eight years?
How long is this?
Has he been affected?'
David started to panic.
If a person's personality changes, then they are no longer the same person as before.
He raised his voice and called again, "Celeste! Can you hear me? It's me, David. And I'm here to save you!"
But Celeste was still silent. The frown on David's forehead deepened. In the end, he had no choice but to bring out a trace of the strength of his mind and step forward to check on Celeste's state.
When the strength of his mind touched the ice sculpture, his eyes flickered, and he entered a strange environment. When he wanted to force it out, he realized that this place looked very familiar. So David looked around.
'Isn't this where I experienced an unexpected event with Celeste the first time?'
Then, David saw Celeste not far from where she was. Celeste wore a red dress while looking at her blankly, without saying a word. David felt a bit embarrassed at such a look.
"Ehm..Ummm..Celeste, are you okay?"
Celeste was somewhat troubled by David's voice. Then he regained his senses and said slowly, "David, I think I will stay in the ice cave for a hundred years, and I will no longer be who I used to be. I guess, I will be eroded by the extreme cold air for a hundred years and will become a weapon without any emotion in the Iridescent Sect. I don't want to be like that, but I can't change anything. I never thought that someone would save me because this was an order from the teacher. Among the people I know, no one has the power to save someone in the iridescent Sect by themselves. But when Lady Dream came to tell me that you have grown to this point and I have to keep going, I really can't believe it, it feels like a dream. David, thank you for taking the risk to save me. Thank you very much!"
After saying these words, Ceeste had already started crying. Right now, she was not Elder Red of the Iridescent Sect, but an ordinary woman who was feeling happiness. After living for nearly two thousand years, he never thought that he would be like today.
Eira always reminds Celeste that she has an alluring body. Therefore, he could not touch men, let alone be interested in any man in this life. Now, facing a man much younger than herself, Celeste did not want to hold back anymore.
The debt to his teacher had already paid off the moment he entered the ice cave. After leaving this place, Celeste wanted to be herself.
After hearing Celeste's words, the frown on David's face changed with a smile. Celeste was not affected by the cold. His efforts were not in vain. If Celeste wasn't what she used to be, David might not be able to resist destroying the Iridescent Sect.
