193: The Iceberg Ancestor bestows a lucky opportunity, increasing your luck by 300%!
Deep within the iceberg, the temperature had reached an extreme low.
Even the space itself was frozen to the point of nearly shattering.
Su Jue frowned.
"It's… really cold here."
He circulated his true essence to wrap around himself and continued walking forward.
Soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the iceberg.
This was a massive space.
Countless glowing ice crystals were embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire area.
In the very center of the space, a palm-sized, completely transparent destiny compass fragment was suspended.
"Found it!"
Su Jue's eyes lit up.
He walked over quickly and reached out to grab the fragment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a terrifying chill suddenly erupted.
Su Jue's expression changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
The iceberg shook violently in response.
In the center of the space, a figure slowly condensed.
It was an old man wearing ice-blue robes.
His skin was as transparent as ice crystals.
A head of silver-white hair hung down to his ankles.
His eyes were a pure ice-blue, exuding extreme indifference and majesty.
Su Jue frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man did not answer.
He just looked at Su Jue quietly.
After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"This old man… is the 187th Clan Chief of the Ice Frost Clan, Bing He."
"Outsider, you are quite bold, daring to trespass into this Forbidden Ground."
"And even… wanting to take away the fragment of the compass of destiny?"
Su Jue raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
"You know about the compass of destiny?"
Bing He nodded.
"Of course."
"This fragment has been stored here with this old man for tens of thousands of years, attracting countless experts to come and fight for it."
"But in the end… they all became corpses beneath the iceberg."
Su Jue grinned after hearing this.
"Is that so?"
"Then today… are you going to stop me too?"
Bing He was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, this old man will not stop you."
Su Jue was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Bing He waved his hand.
The fragment of the compass of destiny slowly floated toward Su Jue.
"Take it; this was originally something that belonged to you."
"???" Su Jue was even more confused.
"Belonged to me?"
"What do you mean?"
Bing He looked at him, a trace of complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"A long time ago, a great figure came here."
"He told this old man… that one day, an Infant would come here to take the fragment of the compass of destiny."
"Back then… this old man thought he was joking."
"I didn't expect… that you would really come today."
Su Jue fell silent after hearing this.
A great figure?
An Infant?
The compass of destiny?
These keywords linked together, no matter how he looked at it, did not seem like a coincidence.
"That great figure…" Su Jue asked, "What did he look like?"
Bing He shook his head.
"This old man could not see his appearance clearly."
"I only remember… that his body radiated a terrifying aura that made this old man's Soul tremble."
"That kind of aura… far exceeded the Saint King Realm."
Su Jue's pupils constricted.
Far exceeding the Saint King Realm?!
What level of existence would that be?!
Just as he was about to continue asking, suddenly, the System's notification sound rang in his mind.
【Ding! Detected destiny compass fragment (2/9)! Do you wish to collect it?】
Su Jue immediately nodded.
"Collect!"
As the words fell, the fragment instantly turned into a stream of light and drilled into Su Jue's glabella.
【Ding! Collection successful! destiny compass fragment updated: 2/9! Current progress: 22%! Obtained passive effect: Favor of Destiny (Intermediate)! Effect description: When making major decisions, there is a very high probability of receiving guidance from 'Destiny'! Furthermore, your luck value is permanently increased by 300%!】
Su Jue looked at the System prompt and nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad.
Another fragment collected.
Just as he was about to leave, Bing He suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
Su Jue turned back.
"Something else?"
Bing He looked at him.
"That great figure also left a message, asking this old man to pass it on to you."
Su Jue frowned.
"What message?"
Bing He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"He said… when you have collected all nine fragments, you may proceed to… the 'Land of Origin'."
"There, you will find all the answers you seek."
Su Jue was shaken after hearing this.
The Land of Origin?
What answers?
Just as he was about to continue asking, Bing He shook his head.
"This old man only knows this much."
"As for the rest… this old man is not clear either."
Su Jue took a deep breath.
"I understand."
"Thank you."
Bing He waved his hand.
"It is no matter; this is what this old man should have done. By the way."
He suddenly remembered something.
"On your way here, did you encounter this old man's descendant?"
"A little girl named Bing Xin?"
Su Jue was stunned.
"I did."
"What's wrong?"
Bing He sighed.
"That girl has a fiery temperament and a stubborn temper."
"She should have tried to stop you, right?"
Su Jue nodded.
"Yes, but I restrained her. She should still be outside, unable to move."
Bing He's mouth twitched upon hearing this.
"Can you… release her?"
"She was only performing her duty and had no ill intent."
Su Jue thought about it.
"Fine."
He waved his hand and released the spatial restraint on Bing Xin.
Bing He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Many thanks."
Su Jue waved his hand.
"Small matter, I'll be leaving then. By the way," he suddenly remembered something, "That great figure you mentioned… really, you couldn't even see his appearance clearly?"
Bing He shook his head.
"I could not see clearly. But this old man remembers that his body… radiated an aura similar to 'Chaos'."
Chaos?
Su Jue's heart stirred.
Chaos… he was all too familiar with this word.
His Chaos Dragon Body.
His Chaos Unity Law.
Could it be… that the great figure had some connection to him?
Or perhaps… it was related to the Archaic Human Race?
Just as Su Jue was about to continue asking, suddenly, Ling in his hat stirred.
She opened her eyes and yawned.
"Noisy…"
Su Jue immediately shut his mouth.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop, I'll stop. You go back to sleep."
"Mm…" Ling didn't say anything more and closed her eyes again to continue sleeping.
Bing He watched this scene, a flash of shock in his eyes.
Just now… the aura on that little golden figure… so terrifying!
Even more terrifying than that great figure!
This Infant… what exactly is his background?!
Su Jue did not notice Bing He's shock.
He hugged the Capybara and turned to leave.
"I'm off, see you if fate allows."
As his voice fell, his figure instantly disappeared.
Only Bing He was left standing in place, unable to recover for a long time.
…
Outside the iceberg.
Bing Xin had just been released from the restraint.
She was trembling with rage.
"That bastard!"
"How dare he treat me like this!"
"I will definitely…"
Before she could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"You will what?"
Bing Xin was startled.
She looked up and saw it was exactly that Infant from before.
"You…"
