Chapter 559: Chapter 559: The Transformation of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, Obtaining the Ice Spirit Pearl!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen had already rushed to the location of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

The Ice Dragon upon the spear had completely dissipated, having used up all the Ice Spiritual Power he had gathered, revealing the pitch-black body of the spear.

Lu Chen stepped forward and took the Heavenly Inquiry Spear into his hands, suddenly feeling that the grip seemed a bit different than before.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed many new patterns on the body of the spear!

Moreover, within these patterns, it seemed as though there were currents of flowing Spiritual Power.

Not quite water, not quite ice, they looked strikingly similar to the Water Spirit Power he possessed before the fusion with the Profound Ice Dao Nature.

"Is this..."

Lu Chen was slightly startled, feeling a vague sense of familiarity.

Yet he couldn’t figure out why the Spiritual Power he infused into the spear had dissipated, but now there was Ice Power which hadn’t fused with the Dao Nature flowing around.

Furthermore, neither the power he had refined nor that which Zhu Chongjiu helped him refine had ever produced such patterns!

"Could it be that the spear spirit fused my Dao Body spear?"

Lu Chen murmured softly. By his understanding, if the Dao Body spear had completely fused, that would mean it had also completely controlled the Earth Fire, so shouldn’t there be some trace of the Earth Fire’s aura on the Heavenly Inquiry Spear by now?

But at that moment, holding the spear, it was ice cold!

Moreover, he couldn’t establish any contact with the spear spirit at all!

Lu Chen shook his head, tossing these thoughts to the back of his mind. For now, at least, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear showed no signs of damage, so he turned his attention to the present situation.

Not far away, there was a body with a crushed chest.

Without a doubt, it was Ao Yu of the Mysterious Ice Dao Body!

Under his almost full-strength attack of Spear Strikes the Sky, the fact that he wasn’t completely flattened was proof enough of his strength.

Additionally, perhaps due to the Ice Spirit Pearl, Ao Yu’s body hadn’t turned into an ice sculpture.

"At least you were left with a whole corpse!"

Lu Chen stepped forward and applied the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, observing the Ice Spiritual Power lingering around Ao Yu’s body, eventually focusing on the content of his mouth.

Raising the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, Lu Chen inserted the tip into the mouth and instantly, a bead faintly glowing with white light came into view!

The icy winds around also underwent a slight change, becoming slightly sluggish and subtly drawing towards the Ice Spirit Pearl!

"This bead, from now on, belongs to me! Later on, I can even look for some ice-based spells!"

Lu Chen held the Ice Spirit Pearl in his hand, feeling the extremely pure Ice Spirit Power within, along with a strangely comfortable sensation. Subconsciously, he transformed all the Spiritual Power in his Dantian into Ice Spirit Power.

Under the effect of the Ice Spirit Pearl, Lu Chen also noticed changes in his Dantian!

The Ice Spirit Power...

Had become stronger!

"I merely transformed the Ice Spirit Power through a strand of Dao Nature. Compared to the Ice Spirit Pearl, it’s still lacking. To achieve complete mastery, I’ll need some time, but with the Ice Spirit Pearl, there’s no need to worry!"

Lu Chen thought to himself. He first dripped blood on the Ice Spirit Pearl to claim it, then used the spear tip to retrieve a storage bag.

It was possible that there were ice-based Cultivation Techniques inside.

In any case, he planned to return to this icy land. By then, he would cultivate while waiting for the secret realm to conclude.

After hanging the storage bag at his waist, Lu Chen once again controlled the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, flying towards the valley’s exit.

The Ice Spirit Pearl hung at his chest, not only completely deflecting the intense cold and ice power for him but also slightly speeding up his flight assisted by Artifact Control.

But as soon as he flew over the mountaintop, Lu Chen saw two people. Recognizing the familiar silhouettes, he quickly descended back into the valley!

"Chu Zhongtian of Xuanyun Sect, and Li Mo of Li Fire Sect! How did they also track me here?"

Lu Chen crouched on one side of the icy valley, carefully poking his head out. Under the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, his expression changed once more.

He saw that Chu Zhongtian was controlling the Shadowless Sword, which spun like a drill with a greenish barrier in front of it.

At the same time, the tip of the sword was wrapped in a flame!

The flame emitted a strange aura—he could tell it was Li Mo’s Li Fire!

And the greenish barrier, undoubtedly, was set up by Li Yanran with the Wood Spirit Bead!

"Wood Spirit Power is not good for defense. If it’s broken through, the two girls will be in danger!"

Lu Chen muttered to himself, and as he suddenly saw the two figures stirring slightly, he quickly withdrew his head, hiding it.

That was a sign they were about to turn around. Had he been spotted?

"Li Daoist, my Shadowless Sword seems to have sensed a familiar presence again!"

Chu Zhongtian looked towards the direction of the valley, but unfortunately, since Lu Chen had hidden, he saw nothing.

Li Mo experienced the same situation.

However, their words reached inside the barrier and into the ears of the two women.

Qin Yaotiao and Li Yanran exchanged glances, their first thought was that Lu Chen had come back!

But without certainty, the barrier blocked their voices, just as it blocked their spiritual sense!

So, should they make a move now or wait and see?
