A Man Like None Other

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord’s face paled slightly, but his eyes remained resolute: “Thank you for informing me, Sect

Master Ling. No matter what, even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I will brave mountains of knives and seas of fire!” David pondered, “Sect Master Ling, do you know the approximate location of the Blood Soul Cold Pool? And when the next Blood Lotus bloom will be?”

Ling Yunzi thought for a moment and said, “The specific location is vaguely recorded in the ancient texts, only stating that it’s ‘in the heart of the icy plains, surrounded by three ten-thousand-foot ice peaks arranged in a triangular shape.'”

“As for the blooming season… based on scattered records, the last time the Blood Lotus bloomed and its fluctuations were noticed was approximately two hundred and eighty years ago.”

“If we calculate based on a century cycle, the next blooming season might be… within the next twenty years! But whether it will be this year, next year, or a dozen years from now is uncertain.”

“Within twenty years…” The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord’s eyes shone with even brighter hope; for a cultivator, this wasn’t a long time.

“I possess the ultimate fire and also have ice-type origins; obtaining the Blood Lotus shouldn’t be difficult,”

David said confidently.

He possessed the ultimate fire origin, especially after absorbing the Chaos Origin Fire, which greatly enhanced his ultimate fire origin.

A small icy plain and cold pool held no fear.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunzi stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity:

“Senior Chen, even if you are not afraid of the dangers of the icy plain and are determined to go, there is another matter that may be more troublesome than the frigid winds and the ferocious beasts in the pool.”

“Why?” David looked at Ling Yunzi.

“The Eternal Ice Plains is not unclaimed land; rather, its core area has always been considered a forbidden zone by an extremely special and arrogant race.”
