Volume 9 Flying Immortals Chapter 11 Treading Frost and Snow
To the north of the land of Kyushu is a vast grassland; Further north of the steppe is the great icy wilderness; Further north of the wasteland is an ice field that is forever covered with a thick layer of ice, so cold that it is completely uninhabited.
Legend has it that most of the ice here has not melted since ancient times, but has only slowly accumulated over time. It may have been a thin layer at first, but now it is a majestic mountain - between the ice field and the wasteland, there is a mountain slope where ice and snow accumulate, and along the slope of the mountain, the ice field is the ice field.
The climate of the land of Kyushu is very regular, the farther north it goes, the colder it gets, and the winter of the Great Wilderness is already terrifyingly cold, and it is known as "a mouthful of spit spitting out of the slag to remove the ice slag...... "The ice field area is even colder than you can imagine!" According to the monster hunters who are thrill-seeking, they don't care for their lives, and if you pour out a bowl of boiling water in that hellish place, it will freeze into ice cubes in an instant.
If you want to be active in the ice field, you must have the cultivation of the innate realm, otherwise you are simply looking for death. Moreover, the innate realm can only move on the periphery of the ice field, and if you want to go deep into the ice field, you must have a higher realm. Legend has it that only the flying immortals who have cultivated into the immortal body, have the protection of the wind, and can enter and exit the green and underworld, can travel unhindered in the ice field.
Of course, this is just folklore. According to the notes left by the ancestors of Qingyang Guan, even if they were refining cultivators, they had to be very careful when acting in the ice field area, because many things here could pose a certain degree of threat to them. If you are not careful, it is commonplace to get injured, and even flying immortals often fall here, and your life's cultivation will be in vain.
Of course, if it is a master of Ning Yuan or even the Huandan realm, he can naturally have no scruples and go wherever he wants. But in that case, wouldn't it be impossible to achieve the purpose of the experience?
Therefore, this time, the people who came to the Ice Plain area to explore the vision were the three twenty-seventh generation refining disciples led by Wu Jie.
Wu Jie, An Ziqing, Yi Yi.
The cultivators of Qingyang Guan were naturally far more than the three of them, but the rest of them, except for Luo Yu, who was acting as the acting dragon monarch in Kumho, were all twenty-six generations of Dharma Protector disciples. Those Dharma protectors were either squatting at home like Senior Uncle Sanyunzi and didn't go out at all, or they had already experienced in the ice field area, and it was not interesting to come back.
According to An Ziqing's statement, the soldiers are not expensive, and the three of them are worth thousands of troops! However, Wu Xie felt that there were still a few fewer people, so he specially went to the 100,000 Mountains first and found the Lixiao who was concentrating on cultivation.
Lixiao was an apprentice accepted by Wu Xie on behalf of friends more than ten years ago, and was accepted by Du Xin. It is an extremely rare ancient xenomorph, and its innate ability is to manipulate flames and freezing gas, and over the years, it has concentrated on cultivating the Great Light Sect to promote the Dao and correct Dharma "Great Sun Bright Method", which not only gradually washed away the anger of the body, but also broke through the limit of the demon beast, dissolved the horizontal bones at the back of the head, and transformed from a fierce beast to a spirit beast, and achieved a qualitative breakthrough.
Now the Lixiao has lost its steel-solid feathers and sharp claw fangs, the new feathers are very soft, the claws have become much more slender, and the teeth in the mouth are not much different from humans. He had already learned to speak, but he was a little embarrassed, probably because of a lack of exercise.
When Wu Xie found him, he was doing penance on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the winter sun was shining on the black and white body, being constantly absorbed, and the spirit bead hanging on his chest was also glowing, the light seemed to be alive, changing with its breathing.
Even if he was far away, Wu Xie could feel the harmonious aura that was integrated with nature on Lixiao's body, which was the symbol of the spirit beast, and it also meant that he had stepped into the realm of refining gang, and he was a first-class master of the flying immortals!
"You're a very good apprentice! Both talent and hard work are impeccable, much better than my two apprentices!" Wu Xie smiled and said to Du Xin, "Qiao Feng is currently only a congenital master, and it is estimated that it will take another ten years to step into the realm of hundred refinements; Not to mention Qin Jing, who had just entered the Dao with martial arts last year...... Although they are actually quite good, they really can't be compared to Lixiao!"
"It's not that he cultivates fast, but that he accumulates deeply." Du Xin didn't think Wu Xie was joking, and explained very seriously, "Even if it is the most outstanding heaven and earth spirit beast, the speed of cultivation will not be faster than that of a human. Among the various ethnic groups in Kyushu, in terms of cultivation speed, the human race has an absolute advantage. The reason why these spirit beasts were able to advance by leaps and bounds after obtaining the exercises was because they had a deep accumulation before. ”
"If you let a newborn spirit beast start cultivating with a newborn human, unless this human's qualifications are very poor, it is almost impossible to lose to a spirit beast - even if it is the most advanced dragon wind turtle lin or the like, it is the same."
Wu Xie sighed, joking to meet a serious one, it is really the most boring thing!
Seeing the visit of his uncle Wu Jie, Lixiao was very happy. And when he learned that Wu Xie wanted him to go to the Arctic Ice Sheet together, he jumped for joy.
"I've wanted to go to the ice field for a long time!" "The memories of my ancestors tell me that there are very powerful enemies there, enemies so strong that my blood is boiling!" If you can fight with them well, you will have no regrets in this life!"
"Why do you keep thinking about fighting the strong?"
"It's the nature of our beasts, we're made to fight!"
Lixiao's belongings are very simple: a spirit bead that he carries with him, a few inferior magic weapons that are coarsely put together with faded feathers and minions, and there is nothing else worth packing.
Wu Xie looked at his appearance, shook his head, and gave him a spacious white robe—this was modeled after the Supreme Holy Sect, and it was also the uniform of the Great Light God Sect back then. Then: Kidney, a few pieces of Du Xin's special tools for this disciple - handed them to him, and gave him some instructions on how to use them.
Except for a mirror that is used to protect the mind from the invasion of foreign demons, the rest of these magic weapons are all things that attack and kill - fists that can compress mana and turn it into claws, shin guards that can increase speed much in an instant, helmets that can resist multiple spells, and magic beads that can turn into ice or flame when the body and weapons are combined...... The usage of each item is simple and straightforward, which is in line with the straightforward personality of the Owl Beast family.
Li Xiao couldn't let go of these magic weapons, although Wu Xie told him that "as long as you work hard to improve, you won't be able to get the magic treasure in the future...... but he didn't listen to it at all, and he has been playing with these magic weapons over and over again for a long time, and he is full of admiration for the master he has never met, and he said a lot of praise.
According to him, his master must be a hero of great benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and courage, must have done many earth-shattering great causes, and must be a great master who has defeated countless strong enemies...... Wu Xie pondered for a while, and felt that Du Xin seemed to be worthy of such praise.
Although the Great Light Divine Cult is suspected of being brain-dead, their plan to create an ideal world is indeed benevolent and righteous; As the commander of 20,000 Dharma protector generals, Du Xin is the core figure of the Ideal World Realm and a master of Jindan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is wise and brave; The actions of the Great Light God Cult were indeed earth-shattering; In that battle, she did defeat many strong enemies......
"When you think about it, you're a legendary hero!" Wu Xie praised from the bottom of his heart, "Our usual attitude towards you is really disrespectful!"
"The protector of the Dharma back then, General 20,000, was just the leader of a group of puppets. The leader of the puppet is just a puppet after all. No matter how great the owner's deeds are, it has nothing to do with it. There was no sadness or smugness in Du Xin's tone, as if she was saying "The weather is good today", "And now I am just a tenant in the world of books this day, just paying the rent with strength and wisdom, nothing remarkable." ”
These words immediately choked Wu Xie and couldn't answer.
If Lixiao heard what the master said, I wonder if the idol he imagined in his heart would collapse violently......
Wu Xie galloped all the way with Lixiao, and soon arrived in Gubei, the northernmost important town of the Northern Zhou Kingdom. "Meet the two junior brothers who have been waiting there for a long time. He introduced the origin of Lixiao to his juniors, especially emphasizing that he was a disciple accepted by the friend who gave the "Great Sun Light Sutra", so the two juniors and disciples immediately had a little more affection for this very honest spirit beast master and nephew.
Based on the principle that the elders should give a meeting gift when they see the juniors, the two uncles gave some gifts to the elders.
What An Ziqing gave him was a box of blood tonics, the name was very cheesy, but it was a very high-level healing medicine, which could best replenish the qi and blood lost due to external injuries, and it was very difficult for idle monks to get a little.
What Yi Yi sent was a piece of jade slip that recorded a lot of swordsmanship experience, which was full of all kinds of straight sword momentum, which was in line with the character of Lixiao.
The gifts of the two elders made Lixiao very fond of it, but he was even happier to be recognized by the immortals - the yearning for the immortals is a spiritual pursuit that all kinds of monsters cannot give up. This is just like the people in those backward regions of the earth yearn for the life and culture of the developed regions, it is the nature of intelligent beings.
For Lixiao, the two immortals didn't treat him as a monster at all, but as their own nephew, which was what made him the happiest!
After a little trimming, sorting out their luggage and information, the four of them set off across the prairie and the great wasteland, all the way north.
It was winter, and the northern part of the prairie was covered with snow and ice, and the snow in the wasteland was so thick that people could be buried alive.
The alchemist monks flew fast, and before it was too late, they saw the towering slopes of ice and snow, more majestic and steep than any mountain range they had seen along the way, towering into the clouds and stretching out towards the north.
This is the Great Ice Field, the coldest place in the Kyushu world!
