Chapter 192 Receiving the Source of the Arctic
The two bear cubs trembled to the side, their bodies almost completely frozen. Ning Xiaoxi shook her spirit crystal heart, transforming it into a sharp blade that pierced the hearts of the two bear cubs.
She collected all the corpses into her cave. Having learned from the Ice Python's experience, she wanted to see if these could also become food.
The ice city was now in ruins, with the cold wind blowing and broken ice walls collapsing.
Go to the tallest igloo over there.
Ning Xiaoxi walked up a path that used to be along the edge of Ice City Square. The steps were covered with fallen icicles and snow, making them difficult to walk on. Ning Xiaoxi practically hopped to the top.
There is a simple, unpretentious snow house here.
Ning Xiaoxi walked in. The room was spacious. On the ice wall directly opposite the door hung a painting of Xuanming. Perhaps because it was too old, the lines on the painting were already somewhat blurred.
There's a movable ice plate under the portrait; go down there.
Ning Xiaoxi walked over and felt along the floor, but couldn't find a handle. She stood up, stepped in, and the ice cracked, revealing a downward passage.
"I'm going to have to deal with this tunnel today." Ning Xiaoxi muttered to herself as she walked down the tunnel.
At the end of the passage was an open space, bathed in a soft blue light.
That is the source of Arctic spiritual energy.
Ning Xiaoxi was already captivated by the spiritual source.
It resembles a crystal heart, radiating a deep blue light, suspended in an ancient ice cave. That deep blue light, like the purest aurora in the polar night, refracts through the ice, scattering a dreamlike halo that makes the surrounding ice blocks appear like blue glass.
On the surface of the source of spiritual power, strange runes flowed, shimmering with a faint light as if telling ancient secrets. They moved slowly with the fluctuations of spiritual power, sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing, as if possessing their own life. From the source of spiritual power, wisps of white mist continuously surged forth, these mists like nimble sprites, dancing gracefully under the blue light. Each wisp of mist contained powerful spiritual energy, causing the surrounding air to be filled with a slight chill.
When approaching the source of spiritual energy, one can feel a powerful yet gentle force, like a mother's embrace or the warm sun in winter, bringing warmth and peace to the heart in this frigid land. Yet, this force is also like the most primal roar of nature; once released, it is enough to shake the entire world.
Unlike the spirit crystal vein where the Spirit Crystal Heart was located before, and unlike the storage beneath Zhu Jiuyin's body, there are no extra spirit crystals here except for that source of spiritual power. It seems that that one is enough to rival all the others in the world.

With the warm current flowing and her skills enhanced, Ning Xiaoxi became one with the surrounding ice and rocks.
She inspected the layout of the cave dwelling and finally decided to place the spiritual source inside the main hall. Connected with the spiritual crystal heart, she moved spiritual crystal bricks from the outside to raise the main hall by ten meters. On the open space opposite her small bedroom, she used spiritual crystals to build a small house-like structure.
Lingyuan didn't react to Ning Xiaoxi's approach. It had been in the Ice Rock Cave for countless years and was extremely familiar with its environment. Whether a piece of ice rock appeared or disappeared was a natural occurrence, and it didn't care. As long as the environment remained the same, it was comfortable staying there.
Ning Xiaoxi squinted and merged into the surrounding ice and rocks. She then used her spiritual crystal heart to create a thin net, which penetrated into the ice and rocks, and then captured them all in one net, bringing them into the small room inside the main hall.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The earth veins that had lost their spiritual source and the caves that had gained spiritual source both emitted a rumbling sound.
Ning Xiaoxi immediately shifted her focus and stepped out of the ice and snow city.
The collapse then occurred, and the entire ice and snow city collapsed into the ground, creating a large crater that exposed the black soil ten feet below.
The heavy snow fell, easily covering the patch of black. It's likely that before long, this place will be covered in ice and snow again, with no trace of any living creature remaining.
All the spirit crystals inside the cave seemed to boil over. Well, they didn't have legs and couldn't jump, but the way they were desperately glowing was really unbearable to look at.
The little silver dragon slithered to the door like a snake, peeking out curiously to see what was going on. The mermaid, radiant like starlight, leaned against the other side of the door, also peeking out curiously.
The black bead pushed the jade cabbage directly into the pool, where it rolled comfortably, bathed in the deep blue light of the spiritual source, making the jade cabbage even more verdant and lustrous.
The little silver dragon and the mermaid stared wide-eyed, regretting that they didn't have a pearl!
The pink bead, covered in cracks, also wanted to join in the fun, and was dragged into the room by Ling Jingxin.
The three mulberry trees shook their bare branches, and surprisingly, one of them grew to two meters tall.
The little animal squinted its eyes, circled around, rolled over, closed its eyes, and continued sleeping.
As the spiritual source disappeared, the entire space of the Northern Lands trembled, and then fell silent.
Ning Xiaoxi could sense the change in the atmosphere of the space. The faint spiritual energy that had been there before was completely gone, leaving only coldness and emptiness. This place would no longer be suitable for any living being, whether human, demon, or monster.
[This is only the source of the North, too small. It can only control three thousand miles of the North. Xiao Xi, our goal is the source of the center of this world. If we can obtain that, there will be no room for demons to live in this world.]
"You think so too? I've been considering the feasibility of this. That big snake, that little guy—which one can we handle? We need to find a way to weaken them first and improve our own skills before we can have any chance of eliminating them. Otherwise, we'll just be waiting to be eliminated."
【it is good! 】
[Besides this source of the northern lands, are there similar sites in the east, west, and south directions?]
The source of the East Sea has vanished; the source of the South is damaged and struggling to survive; the source of the West remains, the only one that is intact. If the source of the West is obtained, then the central source of the spirit will only be able to support an area five thousand miles from the center.
[The Source of the West? Isn't Tianji going to inspect the west next? Why not team up with it?]
【Heavenly secrets are not to be trusted.】Tuanzi still insisted on her own point of view.
Okay, then I won't look for him.
Once again, the aurora flashed across the horizon. Ning Xiaoxi, feeling playful, caused the scales on her body to change color, and her figure merged into the aurora.
As Ning Xiaoxi's consciousness gradually merged with the aurora, she felt her body become incredibly light, as if she had transformed into light herself, freely traversing an ocean of light. Every ray of light felt like a gentle tentacle, lightly caressing her skin, bringing a wonderfully tingling and pleasurable sensation.
