Chapter 49 Jump
As a powerful being, it was not strange if Kaiya had people in the Ice City who then reported the things that happened there to her.
It seemed that she had already heard all that, and unfortunately the news given to her was the general speculation of the people so she also thought the same, thinking of Ciel as the son of the Ice Goddess.
As a disciple of the Goddess, she naturally respected him, even ready to follow him if someday, the Ice Goddess stopped being involved with worldly matters and passed everything down to her son.
Ciel smiled at Kaiya's words while the Ice Goddess showed an expression as if a mosquito had bitten her.
"Don't get me wrong, this little bastard is not my son, he's the son of a demon that came out of nowhere," said the Ice Goddess, informing her disciple of that fact.
"Eh?" Kaiya was instantly confused, but right after that, Ciel suddenly said, "come on mom, you can dislike me, but there's no need to ruin your way of thinking, how can you call yourself a demon?"
"You!" The Ice Goddess' eyes opened wide at Ciel's words.
The Elf Queen, on the other hand, was stunned for a while before chuckling.
This was out of her control because it was funny despite the fact that she also disliked Ciel for continuing to threaten her with her secret.
On the other hand, Kaiya was confused as to what was happening.
She stared back and forth between the Ice Goddess and Ciel, and finally had the conclusion that this prince's father was probably the man the Goddess hated so she also hated her son.
Unfortunately, a mother was still a mother, there was no way she could abandon her son no matter how much she disliked him.
In the end, she said, "Master, I know you have business here, excuse me!"
She stepped back before going down, disappearing not long after.
What she did was nothing more than to greet them, and she quickly left as she didn't want to interfere with their business.
The Ice Goddess had no time to care about that as her heart was filled with anger towards Ciel.
"Hmph!" She finally chose to snort.
After which, an ice spear appeared in her hand. Then, she threw it down.
BANG!
The spear crashed into the icy plain below, making the entire land shaken.
Right after that, the land shattered into countless pieces of ice.
Underneath, there was a sea, or there was only a sea to begin with. The ice land was just frozen sea water.
And that sea was not like any other sea.
Besides emitting an extremely cold aura, it also had many gigantic vortices, giving the impression that there were countless storms within that sea.
"Jump in there, the water there will not freeze you, but it will torture every inch of your body so that the foundation of your cultivation will be repaired," the Ice Goddess said coldly, as if she was telling Ciel to kill himself.
However, Ciel was a man without fear of things like this.
With a faint smile, he said, "wait for me here!"
Whoosh!
He unhesitatingly jumped into that sea, his body falling very quickly.
It only took a split second for him to land on the sea.
"This boy has great resolution, he's the kind that doesn't get scared easily," said the Elf Queen in a low voice.
The Ice Goddess didn't dispute that, but it made her even more frustrated.
Because of that, it meant that Ciel would not be intimidated by them or would not feel afraid to threaten them as long as he had something he could rely on.
Meanwhile, when arriving inside that sea, Ciel felt as if he was switching realms.
His body was swayed by the vortexes there while pain filled every inch of his body, as if he was pierced by thousands of poisonous needles.
Although he said that pain was not something frightening to him, he finally realized that there were different levels of pain.
However, instead of screaming, he laughed.
"Hahahahahahaha..." His laughter was long and loud, echoing through the sky.
The Ice Goddess wrinkled her forehead as she originally wanted to hear Ciel scream in pain. Why was he suddenly laughing?
The Elf Queen, on the other hand, sighed, beginning to think that they really would forever be dominated by that boy.
Of course, the pain Ciel felt was not without results.
At this moment, he found the spiritual energy in his body as if it was condensed into a smaller, even purer form where the impurities in that spiritual energy came out from inside his body.
It was all happening slowly, but consistently.
Death was actually not far away from Ciel as the coldness of the water almost killed everything in his body.
It was fortunate that there was the power of the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen protecting him.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Explosion after explosion suddenly echoed from inside his body after about an hour, something he didn't know why.
However, with every single explosion, he couldn't help but be astonished as he discovered that his cultivation was decreasing.
He who was originally at the First Stage of Spiritual Master suddenly leveled down to a Ninth Stage Spiritual Senior, and continued to go downwards.
It stopped when he was at the fifth stage.
This made him somewhat uncomfortable because anyone would not like it if his cultivation went down.
However, it was only for a moment. He suddenly realized something else.
Although his cultivation had dropped, his strength didn't seem to be different at all from before. It was even as if he could control his strength better so that if he fought with himself a moment ago, he could easily win.
'This is the result of improving the cultivation foundation.' Ciel finally realized what geniuses with extraordinary cultivation foundations felt.
He looked down at his hands where his spiritual energy was flowing out.
It was still transparent in color because spiritual energy did have such a color, but compared to before, it had a much sharper and denser color. At the same time, it also seemed more pliable so it could be controlled in more ways.
Whoosh!
Suddenly Ciel's body was pulled upwards by an invisible force.
In an instant, he appeared in front of the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen.
