Chapter 328 – Black Ice Talisman
The current in the deep pond was really strong. Jiang Chen was swimming towards the bright light, and the current became stronger the closer he got to the bright light. Jiang Chen guessed that the reason why this pond wasn’t frozen was related this bright light.
“Let’s see what exactly this item is. Even the Ice Demon King dares not get close to it.”
Jiang Chen swam like a dragon. After just a few twists, he reached the center of the strong current. Shockingly, what he found was a palm-sized talisman. The talisman looked like a crystal, and it was freezing cold. The bright lights Jiang Chen saw all came from this talisman.
The talisman looked like a very cold ice cube, and its appearance was very transparent and crystal like. This talisman was much, much colder than the glaciers outside. However, the water in the pond hadn’t been frozen by this extreme cold. Even with Jiang Chen’s vast experience, he could come up with no explanation for such an unusual phenomenon.
“I think the Ice Demon King was scared by this talisman. Let’s find out what’s so special about this talisman.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen stretched his arm out and grabbed the talisman.
Ssss…
Jiang Chen immediately rejected. What a joke, this Ice Demon King was a Late Combat Soul demon, if Jiang Chen really threw away the Black Ice Talisman in this environment, it would be no different from putting his own life in the hands of this Ice Demon King. Jiang Chen had not yet forgotten how formidable this Ice Demon King was, and he wouldn’t do so in the near future.
No matter how sincerely the Ice Demon King guaranteed his safety, Jiang Chen would never put his life in the hands of someone else.
“I swear in the name of Ice God, if you leave the Black Ice Talisman behind, I’ll never bother you again!”
The Ice Demon King continued, expressing its intentions.
When Jiang Chen saw how serious the Ice Demon King was, he finally realized how important this Black Ice Talisman was. Out of curiosity, he asked, “Tell me, what exactly is this Black Ice Talisman? If you don’t tell me the truth, not only will I not throw it away, I might just destroy it right here.”
“No!!”
Hearing Jiang Chen mention destroying the Black Ice Talisman, the Ice Demon King immediately cried out, “I too have no idea what the Black Ice Talisman exactly is, but it’s supporting the entire world of glaciers, and I was also born because of it! Without this Black Ice Talisman, my cultivation will never be able to progress further! One more thing, if the distance between me and this Black Ice Talisman is too large, I’ll lose the ability to hide my Demon Soul.”
After hearing this explanation, Jiang Chen was even more shocked. The way he looked at the Black Ice Talisman became even more unusual.
“What exactly is this miraculous item? Is it actually supporting this entire world of glaciers? And is it the thing giving birth to these Ice Demons?”
Jiang Chen was really shocked. He believed what the Ice Demon King said. If this Black Ice Talisman wasn’t important, there was no reason to beg Jiang Chen in this manner.
“If that’s the reason, why don’t you bring it with you?”
Jiang Chen enquired.
“I can’t, we’re all children of the Ice God, and that Black Ice Talisman is the symbol of the Ice God; it’s the supreme existence that none of us can insult! You too can’t take it as your own, that’s an insult to the Ice God!”
The Ice Demon King explained. In its eyes, just by holding the Black Ice Talisman, Jiang Chen had insulted the Ice God.
Jiang Chen finally understood everything. This Black Ice Talisman was something like a totem to the Ice Demons, it was the symbol of the ‘Ice God’.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned to the Ice Demon King and said with a smile on his face, “Ice Demon King, do you want to see what the outside world looks like?”
“The outside world?”
The Ice Demon King was startled. Although the other Ice Demons weren’t as intelligent, the Ice Demon King was a Late Combat Soul demon, and its intellect had completely developed. It had lived in this world of glaciers since it was born, so it had no idea what the outside world looked like.
“The outside world is a colorful place, the sceneries there are much prettier than in here. I can bring you out of here, to the outside world.”
Jiang Chen persuaded. If he could sooth this Ice Demon King and keep it by its side, it would definitely be a great weapon in the future.
“No way! If I leave this Black Ice Talisman, my cultivation will stop progressing!”
The Ice Demon King shook its head. From the way it talked, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that it wanted to see the outside world. But, because the environment was different, it was forced to stay back in this world of glaciers.
