Chapter 259: Located The Mystic Flame’s Whereabouts!

Yang Dingtian commented, “Because the Mystic Flame is doing its best to devour the heat. Therefore, the whole lake started to solidify into ice?”

Dongfang Bingling turned her face around and glanced at Yang Dingtian, “That’s right. Furthermore, according to my understanding, once the whole lake had been solidified into ice, it would be the time for the Mystic Flame to bloom.”

Yang Dingtian was immediately shocked. This Dongfang Bingling was truly exceptional. It was exactly like what she had said.

Immediately, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but ask, “Dongfang Bingling, how long do you think it would need for the whole lake to be solidified into ice?”

Dongfang Bingling remained silent for a moment before replying, “Should be around 58 hours or so.”

Yang Dingtian was truly startled when he heard it.

Dongfang Bingling was actually so precise to the minute. Furthermore, the most crucial point was that her answer was unexpectedly correct.

The time remaining left to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame blooming was indeed 58 hours and 8 minutes.

“How did you calculate this number?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

Dongfang Bingling replied, “According to the time unit of measurement as well as how thick the ice layer is becoming.”

The calculation was, without a doubt, extremely complicated because the layer of ice wasn’t increasing at a constant speed. Rather, it was increasing exponentially.

“Dongfang Bingling, you’re truly a genius.” Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but exclaim.

Dongfang Bingling widened her beautiful eyes and glanced at Yang Dingtian, “This is nothing. However, Shen Lang, did you just call me Dongfang Bingling?”

“Of course.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Otherwise, how am I supposed to address you? Fairy Dongfang?”

Dongfang Bingling shook her head, “No. It’s just that it had been a long time since someone addressed me as Dongfang Bingling.”

Yang Dingtian replied, “Now, what’re you preparing to do? Are you going to wait for 58 hours for the Mystic Flame to bloom?”

“Of course not.” Dongfang Bingling replied, “The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame is an extremely small flame. Furthermore, the time it bloomed is extremely short.”

“How short?” Yang Dingtian inquired, “Is it at least 15 minutes?”

“Nope.” Dongfang Bingling replied, “The supreme coal-seam fire might bloom for around 15 minutes. However, Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would last for half a quarter of an hour or even lesser. Therefore, it would be too late for me to search for it when it would bloom. I will need to locate the location of this flame and wait for it to bloom there.”

Half a quarter of an hour? Wasn’t that merely seven to eight minutes only? The timing was really way too short. Indeed, it was like how Dongfang Bingling had said, it would be too late for them to search for the Mystic Flame if they were to wait for it to bloom.

Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to free himself from Dongfang Bingling’s clutches. But from the current situation, he couldn’t possibly leave Dongfang Bingling’s side. Otherwise, it would be extremely hard for him to search for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame in this big lake alone.

“Is the Mystic Flame below the ice?” Yang Dingtian inquired, “Would there be an illumination stage for it?”

“It isn’t the coal-seam fire. Therefore, there wouldn’t be any illumination stage.” Dongfang Bingling replied, “It is an entity that devours endless amounts of energy and spirits. It is also a flame that blooms pragmatically and is completely able to bloom at any area in this lake because the Mystic Flame has its own soul and life.”

“It’s alive?” Yang Dingtian was astonished.

“Yes.” Dongfang Bingling commented.

Yang Dingtian continued, “Then how do you intend to search for this Mystic Flame? Are you going to pulverize the layer of ice beneath us?”

“Nope.” Dongfang Bingling commented, “I will never be able to locate it if I destroy this layer of ice.”

Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling no longer paid any more attention to Yang Dingtian. Immediately, she extended out her delicate body lightly.

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian’s heart leaped because he had never seen this side of Dongfang Bingling before. This woman had always been arrogant and as cold as ice. Now, when she had stretched out her delicate body, it looked somewhat indolent. Furthermore, it caused her curvaceous body to look even more curvaceous and enchanting.

Subsequently, something caused Yang Dingtian to grow even more astonished. She slowly laid down and placed her face above the ice surface. Her whole body was doing the most intimate interaction with the ice surface.

All of a sudden, her delicate body was lit up in a dark blue radiance.

Immediately, this woman’s body looked even more mysterious and enchanting as if she were a fairy or enchantress.

Subsequently, layers and layers of blue radiance veined pattern appeared on Dongfang Bingling’s body. It started with several of it to dozens, hundreds, and thousands, and so on.

Ultimately, countless light rays extended out from Dongfang Bingling’s body and grew longer over time. Finally, it penetrated into every corner of the ice surface.

At the same time, Yang Dingtian could sense an extremely formidable energy form.

These layers of blue radiance veined patterns were definitely Dongfang Bingling’s mental energy. She had actually used this kind of method to investigate every corner of the ice surface. This had truly caused Yang Dingtian to be stunned and gasp in amazement.

This kind of method was completely comparable to the ultrasound or radar waves.

Currently, Dongfang Bingling was like she possessed countless eyes. She was able to see every corner within the ice surface as she searched for traces of the Mystic Flame.

Immediately, Yang Dingtian held onto his breath as he watched Dongfang Bingling display her abilities above the ice surface.

A few minutes went by.

Dozens of minutes went by.

Half an hour went by.

An hour went by.

***

Yang Dingtian had waited for close to 100 minutes at the side.

All of a sudden, all the veined radiance patterns disappeared without any trace, and the blue radiance on Dongfang Bingling’s body had gradually dispersed. Subsequently, she started to float up.

It was unknown if it were just Yang Dingtian’s misperception, but he felt that Dongfang Bingling’s complexion looked somewhat pale. However, before that, she was already extremely white, as white as the snow.

“Have you located it?” Yang Dingtian inquired. His heart was somewhat nervous.

“En.” Dongfang Bingling nodded.

“Where is it?” Yang Dingtian blurted out. Subsequently, he inhaled as he grew nervous because that was where the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was situated.

However, Yang Dingtian didn’t have any expectation of obtaining an answer. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was priceless. Anyone who knew of its location would never speak of it. Furthermore, since Dongfang Bingling had already located the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame’s exact location, Yang Dingtian would no longer possess any usefulness. Thus, Dongfang Bingling would very likely kill off Yang Dingtian to prevent any rumors from spreading.

“It’s there…” Dongfang Bingling pointed to the Northeast. Subsequently, she grabbed onto Yang Dingtian’s hand and dived into the thick layer of ice.

Immediately, a big cavern with a diameter of two-meters appeared on the ice surface. As both of them advanced quickly, the cold ice before them was all being melted away noiselessly. In an instant, they were led directly to a certain place like a cold ice tunnel.

Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling advanced very quickly within the ice surface as they dived deeper into the ice surface.

A few minutes later, both of them came to a stop.

Currently, Yang Dingtian was already over 200 meters deep and was 19 kilometers away from the core of the lake.

Ahead of him was a layer of thin and transparent ice.

A beautiful ice room and blazing-shaped ice room was on the other side of the ice layer. The entire ice room was around a dozen of meters tall and three to four meters wide.
