Chapter 2871
Noticing Gao Qilan’s uncertainty, Kai smirked with a hint of menace and remarked, “I’m not a good person. If you refuse to give me the Ice Pillar Fragment, I can simply take it by force. In that case, you might not only lose the fragment but potentially face dire consequences.”
Gao Qilan’s expression soured as she absorbed Kai’s words. Eventually, with great reluctance, she surrendered the Ice Soul Fragment to him!
Once Kai had secured the Ice Soul Fragment, he shattered it with a fierce grip, reducing the already small fragment to an even tinier size!
“Since you were the one to discover this Ice Soul Fragment, I’ll let you have a share…”
Kai then handed half of the fragment over to Gao Qilan!
This unexpected gesture left Gao Qilan in shock; she had never anticipated encountering someone in the Celestial Realm who would take possession of something and still choose to share it.
Even if Kai had decided not to share, there was little Gao Qilan could do about it, given her inferior strength compared to his!
With her skills lacking, she felt powerless, especially considering that Kai had just saved her.
“You are truly one of a kind…”
With a firm grip, Gao Qilan crushed her half of the Ice Spirit Fragment, and an overwhelming aura enveloped her!
Utilizing her kung fu, Gao Qilan absorbed the entire essence of that aura!
In the following moments, a radiant light erupted from her body, soaring into the sky like a cannonball, erupting in a beautiful display akin to fireworks.
“This is….”
Kai watched in astonishment!
“I’ve finally made a breakthrough!” Gao Qilan exclaimed, her face alight with excitement!
“Is this Ice Spirit Fragment really that potent? Just a tiny piece enabled you to advance?”
“And the vision accompanying your breakthrough is rather unusual!”
Kai remarked, genuinely surprised!
“The energy within this Ice Soul Fragment is distinct from what we find in the Celestial Realm; it’s more akin to immortal energy,” Gao Qilan explained. “This continent’s frigid environment is a result of an ice spirit that fell from the Celestial Realm ages ago. When that ice spirit exploded, its fragments scattered across this land, creating the cold terrain we see today.”
“The energy embedded in this Ice Spirit Fragment is likely the Immortal Qi of the Heavenly Realm. However, no one truly knows what the Immortal Qi resembles; it remains a theory!”
Gao Qilan recounted the origins of the Ice Soul Fragment as she followed Kai closely. Her willingness to share this information indicated a level of trust in him.
Listening intently, Kai was struck by the similarity to the story of the Monkey King, who had knocked over Tai Shang Lao Lao’s alchemy furnace, resulting in the creation of the Flaming Mountain!
But the reason behind the fall of this ice spirit remained a mystery!
“How many more treasures like this have you uncovered?”
Kai, surprised by the existence of ice spirit fragments in this icy land alongside the treasures of the Ancient Body Refining Clan, realized this journey had indeed been worthwhile!
“Do you think Ice Spirit Fragments are simple to find? This continent is vast, and these fragments are minuscule, lacking any visible aura. You can only rely on your eyesight to find them, making it a difficult task,” Gao Qilan explained. “Today, this Ice Soul Fragment is the first I’ve ever discovered; before this, I was kept at home because my older brother wouldn’t allow me to venture out.”
“Who is Gao Qijie to you?”
Kai inquired, recalling the encounter he’d had with Gao Qijie in the arena!
“He’s my brother. How do you know him?” Gao Qilan asked, her curiosity piqued!
“Oh, I met him in Jialing County,” Kai replied.
“Ah, they’ve gone to Jialing County? That explains why I haven’t seen him or Second Brother around the house recently,” Gao Qilan said, realization dawning on her. “They’ve snuck off to have fun in Jialing County! I’ll definitely have to confront them when we get home.”
“You should absorb that Ice Soul Fragment quickly; keeping it in your hand is like holding a ticking time bomb. It could be stolen at any moment,” she urged, directing her words firmly at Kai!
