Cold.
Bone-chilling cold.
In his daze, the first thing Long Chen felt was bone-chilling cold. He gradually woke up.
"Am I already dead?"
He clearly remembered how fast he was falling. It was so fast that Long Chen thought that if he hit something hard, he would definitely be smashed into powder and not a meat patty.
At that time, he was surrounded by boundless darkness. He couldn't see Ling Xi's sword, nor could he see himself. He didn't know if it was worth it for him to come down with Ling Xi. Fortunately, Xuan Ke had told Dongfang Xuanxiao that she didn't regret it.
Long Chen didn't regret it either.
He was just thinking, it is so dark down there, what should I do if Lingxi is afraid? If she dies, what should I do?
Long Chen still couldn't open his eyes. He felt like he was floating in water. He struggled a little and found that he wasn't dead. He could feel the cold, so he probably wouldn't die.
At this moment, he could barely remember that there was an end to this void. When he approached the end, he thought that he would die. With such an inestimable speed, he was definitely going to die. At that time, the only thing he could hold tightly was the Azure Dragon Halberd in his hand.
Then, it was as if something warm had appeared within the Azure Dragon Halberd and wrapped itself around Long Chen's body. His speed decreased sharply, and after that, a huge impact caused him to completely faint. In his daze, he only remembered that he had touched water, ice-cold water.
"The Blue Dragon Halberd saved me. I fell from the Star Demon Prison and fell into a deep pool."
Long Chen was able to sort out his thoughts. However, he couldn't open his eyes for now. At this time, he just barely remembered that he still had Vitality Restoration.
With the help of Guiyuan, about 15 minutes later, he finally woke up from his trance.
"Lingxi!"
Long Chen let out a roar, he opened his eyes, and discovered that his surroundings were bright, he was currently attached to a deep dark green pool, this deep pool was very clean, but there was a bone-piercing cold, Long Chen's True Qi was gradually recovering, but he still felt a little shivering.
He had no idea how big this pool was. The sky was pitch-black. There seemed to be five brightest stars in the sky, but they could only be vaguely seen.
"Those are the Blue Dragon Star...." Long Chen knew.
However, that wasn't what attracted Long Chen's attention. It was what was right in front of him. This was the primordial Blue Dragon Soul of the Blue Dragon Halberd. Long Chen had already seen it when he was comprehending the Blue Dragon Halberd. Right now, its body was much smaller and more solid. In this pitch-black environment, its existence made it emit a faint green light, which illuminated a small area around it.
It was also the warmth of its body that prevented Long Chen from freezing to death in this pool while he was unconscious.
At this time, half of the primordial dragon's body was hidden in the deep pool. Its dragon head was raised high, looking at Long Chen with a gentle gaze.
Long Chen carefully looked at this legendary divine creature again. Just as described in the ancient records, it had a head like an ox, horns like a deer, eyes like a prawn, ears like an elephant, neck like a snake, abdomen like a snake, scales like a fish, claws like a phoenix, and palms like a tiger. Yes, it had 81 scales on its back, and its voice was like a copper plate. It had a beard beside its mouth, a pearl under its chin, a reverse scale under its throat, and a mountain on its head.
"You saved me...." Long Chen knew that when he fell from the sky, it was the primordial dragon soul of the Blue Dragon Halberd that saved him. Otherwise, even if it was a deep pool below, he would have been smashed to pieces.
The primordial dragon soul seemed to have gained consciousness. It lowered its head and gently leaned against Long Chen. The warmth on its body dispelled the chill on Long Chen's body.
At this moment, the primordial dragon soul suddenly integrated into Long Chen's body. A Blue Dragon brand was left on Long Chen's palm, and a message appeared in Long Chen's mind out of thin air.
"It has recognized its master."
This surprised Long Chen. The Blue Dragon Halberd had recognized its master. In other words, unless Long Chen died, this thing would always be his. This kind of recognition was different from the Blue Dragon Patriarch possessing the Blue Dragon Halberd because of its ancestor's inheritance.
"You are the first important weapon in my journey, the Blue Dragon Halberd." Long Chen said indifferently.
The Blue Dragon Halberd wasn't too far away from Long Chen. Long Chen stored it into his Cosmos Sack and then carefully studied the message that had appeared in his mind.
"The Blue Dragon Halberd is actually a Mid Earth Tier Weapon. It's even stronger than the average Mid Earth Tier Weapon. Furthermore, there's a Mid Earth Tier Battle Skill hidden within it. It's not just a single Battle Skill."
Only then did Long Chen understand that Netherworld Break and Azure Hell Shatter were only the foundation of the true Blue Dragon Battle Skill. The true Blue Dragon Battle Skill was a Mid Earth Tier Battle Skill. Dragon Battles Star Field was a Low Earth Tier Battle Skill. What Long Chen had obtained were other Mid Earth Tier Battle Skills, and they were all Mid Earth Tier Battle Skills. They were much stronger than Dragon Battles Star Field.
"In a place like Yuan Ling City, there's actually a Mid Earth Tier Battle Skill and a whole set of Mid Earth Tier Battle Skills."
Long Chen was a little excited. He knew that the Dongfang Clan definitely did not know about this Mid Earth Tier Battle Skill. Other than the Dongfang Clan's true ancestor, no one had truly made the Blue Dragon Halberd recognize them as its master.
Long Chen was not in a hurry to cultivate.
Putting away the Blue Dragon Halberd, the surroundings became dark once more. With Long Chen's current eyesight, he could not even see his fingers in front of him. The Blue Dragon Halberd did not take much time to recognize its master. Right now, what Long Chen cared about the most was Lingxi's life.
"At that time, Lingxi used the Heaven Raising Sword Prison to trap the Blue Dragon Ancestor. She must have returned to the Lingxi Sword and then weakened. She must have fallen into this pool. She must still be alive. I must find her."
The name Lingxi had already been deeply engraved in Long Chen's heart.
This pool was extremely cold. Long Chen wrapped his body in energy and still felt his body shiver. But in order to find Lingxi, this bit of cold was nothing. In the Star Demon Prison, he had jumped down without hesitation. There was no need to mention this cold pool.
"Lingxi fell in about the same place as I did. Although this pool is large, it must be nearby."
Long Chen thought as he dove into the water. The pool was even colder, and his vision was even more blurry. But Long Chen did not retreat because of this.
Falling from such a high place, and using the Heaven Raising Sword Prison to trap the Blue Dragon Ancestor for a quarter of an hour, Lingxi must have used up all of her spiritual power. Even if Long Chen found the Lingxi Sword, the chances that she was still alive were miniscule. That was because Long Chen was on the verge of tears.
The deeper he went, the more Long Chen felt the surrounding temperature drop. Logically speaking, at this temperature, the pool of water should have frozen long ago, but the strange thing was that Long Chen didn't even see a bit of ice.
Thankfully, Long Chen had already sensed something at the bottom of the pool. Otherwise, he might not have been able to hold on much longer. Even in his current position, his entire body was shaking, and his lips were turning blue from the cold.
"Little Xi... where are you...?" Long Chen gritted his teeth and dove deeper. If Lingxi had fallen, she would have been at the bottom of the pool.
Gritting his teeth, he soon reached the bottom of the pool. When he touched the ground, Long Chen was stunned.
"What... what metal is this?"
His sharp senses told him that the bottom of the pool was not the ground, but some kind of unknown metal. The hardness of this metal was beyond Long Chen's understanding.
But the bottom of the pool was metal. What was going on?
At the bottom of the pool, Long Chen knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. But this place was filled with strangeness. He continued to search for Lingxi, and at the same time, he also paid attention to the metal at the bottom of the pool. After circling around for a while, he was shocked to the extreme.
"There is actually a black metal coffin at the bottom of this endless pool. Moreover, this coffin is so big that its width is over 200 meters. What about its length?"
At this time, Long Chen had already floated to the surface of the water. Because he couldn't resist the cold, he had to come up to rest.
His eyes were filled with shock and horror. Previously, when he was searching for the Spirit Dawn Sword, he had also paid attention to the matter of the metal. Walking on the metal ground, Long Chen discovered that there was a depression in front of him. After swimming past it, he discovered that there was real soil underneath the depression. Turning his head to take a look, he discovered that what he thought was the bottom of the lake was actually the upper surface of a coffin.
The reason why he knew that this huge thing was a coffin was because Long Chen had studied its shape and finally confirmed it. But such a huge coffin, what was it used for? Why would it appear here? Where was this place?
A series of questions made Long Chen completely confused.
"Who cares what coffin it is. It's more important for me to find Lingxi. The area where I fell is mostly on the metal surface of this coffin. If Lingxi's sword fell into the soil, with its sharpness, who knows how deep it would go. If it was in the coffin, it would be easy to find it. But will Lingxi's sword break because of this?
Although Lingxi's sword was full of mysteries, it seemed that the degree of strangeness of this coffin was not bad.
Long Chen's heart was filled with worry. He could only go deeper into the pool again. Because of this coffin, the scope of his search was first set on this coffin. This way, his search was much more orderly.
Finally, after a total of nine times, Long Chen finally saw Lingxi's sword. At this time, Lingxi's sword was inserted into the hard metal surface of the coffin. Only the sword hilt was left, but Long Chen knew that this was Lingxi's sword.
In the end, Lingxi's sword was stronger. It directly caused a huge depression in the huge metal coffin, and even a large network of cracks appeared.
"Little Xi."
Without saying a word, Long Chen rushed over. When he held that familiar sword hilt, the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
There was still a big obstacle in front of him, and that was whether Lingxi was still alive.
