Chapter 1480: You Present the Betrothal Gifts, and I’ll Enter the Bridal Chamber (1)

In the area of the Northern Wanggu near the east, beneath the glacier, it was pitch black.
The thick layer of ice formed the sky of the ice river, enveloping this place.
The bone-piercing coldness should have frozen the water, yet the river here was peculiar. It contained both spiritual energy and anomalous substances formed by divine aura.
The distribution of these elements at different levels caused the freezing point to vary
The deeper one went, the more the freezing point defied understanding.
Even though Xu Qing and Erniu couldn’t sense any heat in their bodies and were completely relying on their cultivation to support their vitality, the river water still did not freeze.
As for the coldness, as they sank, it became even more intense.
When they were about 300,000 feet below, Xu Qing paused.
If he continued to sink, his body would naturally be able to withstand it, but his soul already felt the pressure.
But it could still support him till another 100,000 to 200,000 feet.
However, Feng Lintao and Yue Dong had already reached their limit.
If they continued to sink, they wouldn’t have the strength to display immortal art and inheritance.
On the other hand, the strangeness of Erniu was vividly displayed here. He… was relaxed!
In fact, Xu Qing felt that in this cold river, Erniu seemed to be much more comfortable than outside.
“Your eldest senior brother will always be your eldest senior brother.”
Noticing Xu Qing’s gaze, Erniu had a smug expression.
When Xu Qing heard this, he cooperated and revealed a look of admiration on his face, making Erniu feel incomparably comfortable. However, he also knew that Feng Lintao and Yue Dong couldn’t be brought any deeper.
Hence, after the two of them exchanged glances, they decided to activate Feng Lintao’s inheritance here.
Erniu raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, Feng Lintao’s soul appeared in the ice river. The moment he appeared, his soul body immediately shivered and began to freeze.
The intense life-and-death crisis caused Feng Lintao’s mind to stir. He didn’t hesitate to erupt all his soul power in an attempt to resist the cold here. However, the effect was minimal.
As a result, Feng Lintao had no choice but to drift upward. It was only after he rose by 30,000 feet that he barely managed to maintain the balance, avoiding the fate of turning into an ice sculpture.
“So useless!”
Erniu frowned and reprimanded.
Feng Lintao felt aggrieved. He wanted to tell Erniu that he was a soul and didn’t have a physical body, so the strength he could unleash was naturally much weaker.
And all of this was not by his choice; it was because he had been used as a bait…
In addition, he was also put under restrictions, so his strength was naturally much more restricted.
However, he didn’t dare to mention these grievances. He could only bury them in his heart and reveal a fawning expression.
He was really worried that after handing over the inheritance, his value would be infinitely small… If he made the other party unhappy, he would probably die. Although he had been thinking about how to break out of this situation on the way, he hadn’t thought of any solution until now.
At that moment, he was being stared at by Erniu and Xu Qing. That covetous gaze made Feng Lintao tremble but he didn’t dare to disobey. Hence, he steeled his heart and looked at Xu Qing.
“Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, I’ll be sincere. I won’t hide anything and won’t use any methods that are disadvantageous to you. I’ll do my best to give out the inheritance and help you brand the immortal art into authority.”
“I don’t have any other requests, nor do I have any extravagant hopes that you guys will return my freedom. 1 only want to survive. It’s fine even if 1 become a slave. So, Fellow Daoist Xu Qing…”
“I trust you. I hope you can give me a promise!”
Feng Lintao looked at Xu Qing. After he finished speaking, before Xu Qing could say anything, Erniu, who was at the side, was unhappy.
“What do you mean by it? You don’t trust me?”
Feng Lintao’s heart trembled. Just as he was about to explain, Xu Qing’s voice rang out and interrupted him.
“I’ll do my best to send you back to the human race. As for your life and death, it’s up to the Empress to decide.”
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, Feng Lintao’s heart finally calmed down and he heaved a long sigh of relief.
If Xu Qing agreed fully, he would feel uneasy, but Xu Qing’s words showed sincerity.
Hence, determination appeared in Feng Lintao’s eyes. He no longer hesitated or asked for more. At that moment, he performed a series of hand seals with both soul hands and pressed his forehead.
Immediately, his soul body shone with a resplendent light. In this pitch-black ice river, it was like a star.
There were also threads that appeared on his soul body because of the cold here. They intertwined and outlined each other, forming a blooming flower.
As soon as the flower totem appeared, a strange fragrance wafted out.
As it spread outwards…
A hint of primitive and majestic intent rose from the flower. It was… the aura of a Great Emperor.
If this aura appeared in the outside world, it would be illusory.
However, when it appeared in this cold river, it gained substance… It transformed into a ring formed by countless marks that appeared around Feng Lintao. It continued to spin and shine.
It reflected the light of the flower totem.
In the end, this ring, as if it were an extension of that flower, materialized into a blossom outside Feng Lintao’s soul.
Each of the marks that formed this flower emitted a sense of Dao. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these marks were all blank. They didn’t contain any will or spells.
What they had was only the purest and most basic essence of the Great Dao.
“This is the authority formed by the inheritance of the Great Emperor of my Liaoxuan Holy Land. It’s blank and can be branded with suitable spells and divine powers to form authority!”
“However, not all spells can succeed. Moreover, every failure will cause the inheritance mark to dissipate a little permanently. Therefore, it’s best if you can choose something that can succeed in one go.”
Feng Lintao immediately spoke. His expression was distorted. Clearly, even with the help of the environment here, it was still difficult for him to release the inheritance..
