"Celeste, don't thank me. Here's what I have to do. From now on, whoever wants to touch you, they have to ask if David agrees. As long as I disagree, no one can touch you, not even your teacher or a Sacred Saint" David said domineeringly.
"Yes, I believe you!" Celeste replied with a smile and tearful eyes.
"Let's go! Celeste, I'll take you away from the ice cave. I want to see who in the Iridescent Sect dares to stop me." said David viciously.
"All right! But I don't want to go yet" Celeste said, blushing.
"What's wrong?"
After David finished asking, a red shadow appeared in his eyes before he could react...
After some time, at the bottom of the ice cave.
Krakk!
The ice sculpture suddenly opened, revealing a figure within it. At the same time, David opened his eyes. The two looked at each other. David smiled slightly, while Celeste lowered her face.
"Celeste, let's go!" said David.
"All right!" Celeste answered. After that he stood up and went to David's side.
The two had just walked a few steps before David stopped and turned to look at the bottom of the ice cave.
"What's wrong?" asked Celeste feeling confused.
"Celeste, I don't think we can hide from your teacher if we go like this, right?"
"That's right! Teacher has set limits on me. Even if I leave the lowest level, teacher will know, especially if I get out of the ice cave." Celeste said while shaking her head.
"It's okay! Since we can't hide, let's give them a big surprise. I've been watching for a long time, that ice cave is no fun. The cave devours human emotions and turns a person into an emotionless machine. This is a horrible place that shouldn't exist" David said with a sneer.
"David, you..are you going to destroy this place?" asked Celeste with wide eyes.
He didn't expect David to be so brave. Not only would he save her, but he also wanted to destroy the ice cave. This was one of the most important places in the Iridescent Sect, number two after the forbidden area. If this place were to be destroyed, the four leading elders would definitely go insane.
"You're right. It was unknown how many disciples had come here to receive the most painful punishment in the world since the founding of the Iridescent Sect. They made a fatal mistake, so they deserved to be killed. But wouldn't it be inhumane to devour their emotions? This terrible place should have been destroyed long ago."
"But David, this is one of the most important places in the Iridescent Sect, second only to the forbidden area. Once destroyed, the teacher and the others will definitely not let you." Celeste said hurriedly.
"Celeste, don't worry! Since I dare to come, I am not afraid of them. Even if the four leading elders gather, they won't be able to do anything to me." David convinced Celeste.
"Then! Careful." Seeing David's confidence, Celeste stopped persuading him.
It was fine as long as David was confident that he could overcome the anger of the four leading elders. He also did not like the ice cave. Many disciples who made mistakes in the sect would be sent here.
Once given the ban, they would not even be able to kill themselves. So, they can only be emotionless machines. Therefore, it would be good to destroy this place. It was the last thing he would do for the women in the sect before leaving!
Celeste knew that after she followed David to leave the ice cave today, she would not be able to stay in the sect anymore. Therefore, he did not proceed to persuade David.
"Celeste, move. I'll go and see how the cold air in the ice cave is formed."
After David finished speaking, he walked alone to the center of the ice cave bottom. Then, he closed his eyes, unleashed some of his mind power, and began to explore the entire ice cave.
Since the ice cave was going to become increasingly cold, the secret was definitely in the deepest part.
The power of the mind continued to extend downwards along the bottom layer of the ice cave which was filled with thick layers of ice. This ice sheet formation might have existed for much longer than the Iridescent Sect itself. Most likely the Iridescent Sect only appeared after the ice cave and forbidden area were formed.
When the power of his mind reached a depth of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, it finally stopped.
This ice sheet is hundreds of thousands of kilometers thick. It's really inconceivable.
Keep in mind that the diameter of the Earth is only more than 10 thousand kilometers. The thickness of this ice sheet alone could cover dozens of Earths.
When he reached the end, David saw an amazing sight using the power of his mind. He looked at the big blue ice block not far from there that seemed to be wrapping something up. Cold air came from the things inside. It was truly a rare treasure, as it could form ice thousands of kilometers away.
The most surprising thing was that under the blue ice was a turbulent magma.
'What's this?
Very contrast.'
There is only one line difference. The top froze thousands of kilometers, while the bottom spewed out magma. This was the first time David had seen such a strange sight. How can boiling magma and extremely cold ice exist in the same room?
Magma is identical to very high temperatures, but these ice cubes show no signs of melting. The two elements had coexisted peacefully in this way for either how many thousands or how many millions of years. Magma and ice blocks each occupy their own territory and do not interfere with each other. This is a rare sight!
It wasn't David's style to not take a treasure when he found it. Especially when it belongs to the enemy. There is no reason not to take it.
When she saw David open her eyes, Celeste rushed over and asked, "David, how is it? Did you find anything?"
"Yes, I found the culprit. There is treasure beneath the ice. It was an object that gave off extremely cold air and also one that formed an ice cave. If I take it out, the ice cave will automatically disappear." replied David.
"What treasure?" Celeste asked curiously.
"I don't know yet. It was hidden inside a huge blue ice cube. Celeste, step back a little and let me get it out. There's probably gonna be a lot of movement."
"Be careful!" Celeste said and retreated to the position just now.
David squatted down and stared at the ice under his feet. Clenching his right hand, he punched the ice and walked over to Celeste. The two stood on the edge of the lower floor of the ice cave, looking towards the middle quietly.
Cracks! Krakk!
A small crack appeared in the ice sheet, and slowly, the crack became increasingly large before quickly spreading to the deepest point of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. At the same time, the power of the mind diving into the ice sheet materialized. It then wrapped around a large blue ice cube, rose up from the ground, and quickly went upwards through the cracks.
DUAARR!
A loud noise came from underground. Soon after, the ground shook.
Not only were David and Celeste in the ice cave able to sense it, the entire Iridescent Sect, and even the entire Iridescent Continent, felt a great tremor. Many people stop what they do. They all shouted and ran away, trying to immediately find an open place to take shelter.
"There's an earthquake! Run!"
The Iridescent Sect was the closest to its source, so the vibrations it felt were naturally the strongest.
In the courtyard where Celia and the others were staying, everyone was shocked by the sudden earthquake and tightly clustered. Selena, Mia, and Astrid were the strongest, so they stood on the outermost edge. The others were protected by the three of them.
The disciples from the Iridescent Sect all flew into the air, wanting to see what was going on. Nova is no exception. He went to the sky and stood in front of the disciples of the Iridescent Sect.
"Lady Dreams! What the hell's going on? This had never happened in the Iridescent Continent before "asked an elder.
"Yes! Lady Dream, how could there be an earthquake in the Iridescent Continent? Did someone make trouble?"
Nova shook his head, stating that he also knew nothing. But in his heart he knew very well. He could feel the tremors coming from the ice cave.
'David must have taken action. But, did he need to make a big fuss just to save one person?'
Nova was confused.
At this moment, a sudden roar sounded in the forbidden area of the Iridescent Sect.
"really presumptuous! Anyone who dared to behave recklessly in the Iridescent Sect would die!"
At the bottom of the ice cave, Celeste inevitably trembled when she heard this voice. The voice was too familiar to him. It was his teacher, Eira, one of the four leading elders of the Iridescent Sect and an ancient True Saint.
Although Celeste trusted David so much, she still worried about David dealing with his teacher. After all, he had never seen David's power with his own eyes. Everything he knew, he got from Nova. He only knew that when he brought David to the Star Kingdom, he had just entered the Eternal Realm.
When she felt Celeste's worries, David comforted her, "Celeste, don't be afraid! I am now not afraid of a True Saint. Just look at how I avenge you."
"David, you have to be careful. Master had lived for so long, and he had many tricks up his sleeve. You have to protect yourself. If you can't do it, you should go first, and come back to save me when you already have enough power. I can wait."
"Don't worry, my current strength is also enough."
As David finished speaking, he rubbed his finger and a small wound appeared on his fingertip. A drop of blood essence was forced out of his body. Then, he started cloning himself.
That drop of blood essence started to change slowly, and finally, under Celeste's astonished expression, she turned into another David.
'What is this?'
Celeste stared at the exact same clone of David as David. He was silent in shock.
Clone David looked at Celeste and smiled slightly. He said, "Celeste, you don't have to be too surprised. It's my copy, and he has the same power as me."
As soon as David said that, Celeste shuddered.
As an elder of the Iridescent Sect who had lived for nearly two thousand years, he had never seen such a heaven-defying method. He had never even heard of this even in the secret history of the Iridescent Sect.
He could use a drop of blood essence to conjure up someone with the same strength as him from thin air. If David spent more blood essence, wouldn't he be able to create a powerful team full of True Saints?
David deserves to be so confident. With this trick, no one could defeat him aside from the Sacred Saint master.
