The waves are choppy, and you can see the deep blue.

The fishy sea breeze blew, and Mo Li stood at the bow of the boat, his face full of wind and frost.

He looked at the unchanging sea in the distance, and the dozens of boats floating on the water, his eyes full of worry.

It's been a year and a half since they went to sea, and they have been sailing against the waves on the sea, and they don't know how many winds, waves, thunderstorms, whirlpools, and tides they have encountered on the way.

During this period, there was also a major cold wave, and thousands of miles of sea in a sea area were frozen into ice fields, blocking their fleet in ice and snow, and they could not move for half a year.

Under the extreme cold, even if they are all monks and have mana, as the fleet gets closer and closer to the North Pole, the heavens and the earth will become colder and colder.

Under the chill of the whole world, even monks could not resist it.

The cold wave was even more terrifying than expected, and the supplies they prepared were consumed faster than expected, and their usefulness was more limited.

After only half a year at sea, he was blocked on the ice sheet of the sea for half a year, and when he was only halfway through the journey, more than eighty percent of the cold materials brought by the fleet were consumed.

But even so, the things they prepared to protect against the cold could not completely resist the cold.

Under the cold to the bone, enough to extinguish life, many fleet monks had to mobilize the mana in their bodies to keep out the cold, and even in worse times, they had to use mana to expel the cold.

But in this way, the cold qi was temporarily expelled, but the mana in the monks' bodies was also quickly consumed.

And they are at sea, adrift with the ship, and there is no cave here for the monks to breathe in the aura and restore their mana.

So for them, if they use one point, they will use one point.

In order to fight against the cold wave, many monks with lowly cultivation directly consumed their mana.

But even so, under the half-year-long cold of the North Sea, there are still a large number of monks who have not survived to the surface of the sea to thaw.

Directly in the cold, he quietly lost his life.

Fortunately, now, the cold winter has passed,

They finally survived until late spring, when the sea thawed and the route was restored, and the fleet could continue to the northern underworld.

"The fairy road is difficult, ......"

Mo Li sighed, his heart at a loss.

At the beginning, Kyushu colleagues went to sea together, and there were dozens of ships and more than 200 people accompanying them.

But now that the fleet has not yet arrived in the Northern Netherworld, it has lost more than half of it, and more than 20 monks have died.

They flew frost and said, and there was also a junior brother who stayed in the sea forever.

When he thought of the dead junior brother, Mo Li's heart ached, and he was reluctant to give up.

You must know that they are flying frost and are only the last among the seventeen immortal sects in Kyushu.

There are only seven monks in the middle of the door, and now one has died, no matter how advanced the cultivation is, it is a loss of one-seventh of the foundation.

How could such a loss not make him feel heartache.

"Don't leave the Taoist, but I'm watching the voyage."

At this time, a warm voice came from behind, and a figure arrived at Mo Li's side.

Without looking back, Mo Li knew who it was, and only said bitterly: "The North Sea is difficult and dangerous, and it is difficult to reach the secluded capital." True Xuan Daoist, the sea is boundless, and only a direction can be roughly estimated through the stars, and it is difficult to accurately locate the location.

Now that the sea route has thawed, we have been sailing for several months.

Now I only know that it is getting closer and closer to the place of the North Underworld, but no one has a definite conclusion on how close it is.

If we continue to drift for another two or three months, and wait for a new round of cold wave to arrive, then I am afraid that I will have to go to hundreds of friends again. ”

Mo Li looked very pessimistic.

The farther north you go, the more extreme the weather becomes.

When they first went to sea, the cold winter only arrived in October, and even when they were adrift in the East China Sea, the sea was not frozen and they could still be shipped.

Although the winter was a little cold, I was able to get through it easily with the supplies I prepared.

But since leaving the East China Sea and entering the North Sea, everything has changed.

Last winter, in mid-September, it fell on the North Sea; It did not subside until the end of March.

It lasted for more than half a year.

Moreover, the cold wave of the North Sea is far greater than that of the East China Sea.

In just one winter, more than 20 monks froze to death at sea.

At this time, they continued to walk north, and the closer they got to the North Pole, the more terrible the cold wave they would face.

It's already May, and by this inference, maybe by July or August, the Arctic winter will come.

And the winter here is definitely colder and longer than when you first entered the North Sea.

By that time, there were still more than 100 monks left in the fleet, and I don't know how many will survive.

"Half of them survived, it's all right." 'Don't be bitter in centrifugation.

I have to say how high-spirited and desperate they were when the Kyushu monks gathered together and made a promise to rise together.

After experiencing a wave of cold wave baptism, many monks have woken up from the dream of ascending to the realm and recognized the cruelty of reality.

This ascension is not so easy to ask for.

This secluded capital is not so easy to visit.

Whether your own group can successfully reach the hidden capital, how many people can reach the hidden capital, and whether the hidden capital can be started normally after arriving is the same as the one explored a few years ago, these are all questions.

"Don't leave the Daoist, according to the records, and the Daoist friend who came back from the last trip to the Netherworld to investigate, I have indeed arrived at the scope of the Northern Netherworld.

Right now, as long as you explore more deeply in this sea, you will definitely find the hidden capital.

At that time, we will restart the formation, and we can follow the path of the Ancient Immortal Saint and ascend to the Immortal Realm. ”

Zhen Xuan looked at Mo Li's dejected appearance, and couldn't help frowning, and let out a sigh of relief.

Although when they were in Yangzhou before, Ziyun Dao and Feishuang Dao were opposites, and they usually fought openly and secretly, and intrigued.

Even when supporting secular dynasties, one chose Ning and the other chose Chu, and they fought each other on the battlefield, which can be described as incompatible.

These can be on it, but they are all just choices made for the inheritance of the Dao system in the door.

After removing this, among the two sects, the disciples of the sect actually don't have much grudge.

Therefore, when the inheritance of the Dao system in the door was arranged, they gave up everything and chose to go to sea together for their own path, go to the Northern Netherworld, and seek to ascend to the immortal realm.

The relationship between the disciples of the two factions of the Flying Frost Dao and the Purple Cloud Dao quickly warmed up and became closer.

Not only are they commensurate with each other's Taoist friends and brothers, but they can also support each other if they have any trouble, which can be described as a family, and there is no difference between them and the same family.

The reason for such a scene is also very simple, everyone is from Yangzhou and has the friendship of fellow villagers.

And although there were some fights in the past, it is precisely because of this that the two factions have known each other for tens of thousands of years, and they know each other well.

With these two things, they are the best natural allies in the absence of mortal enmity.

In contrast, those sect monks who were born in other states and had little contact with them in the past naturally had a lower level of trust.

There are also contradictions and entanglements between the immortal gates, and when competing for some interests, in order to get more benefits, it is natural to form gangs.

The simplest example.

Let's just say that if you can't reach the Northern Netherworld Capital smoothly, and the fleet has waited for another winter, then eighty percent of the cold materials in the fleet will be consumed, and the rest is destined to be used by everyone, and some people must be released.

Who to give up, which side of the people to give up more, which side can get more supplies, etc., all depend on the circle of influence behind each other to fight.

Therefore, even in order to survive, the Flying Frost Road and the Purple Cloud Dao that went out of Yangzhou together had to unite more forces to fight for more benefits for themselves.

Therefore, seeing Mo Li so depressed at this time, Zhenxuan was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, and had to speak of relief, lest the other party be depressed with the entire Flying Frost Dao.

In that case, their Yangzhou camp will only have one Purple Cloud Dao left, but they will be at an extremely disadvantageous advantage in the competition with other forces.

This is something that Shingen cannot tolerate.

"True Xuan Daoist, don't worry, since I have decided to fly north, then after going to sea, I will no longer be afraid to retreat.

On this trip, either you can successfully find the secluded capital, and everyone will soar together.

Or they will be buried together in the vast sea, and there is no difference. ”

Mo Li knew what Zhenxuan was worried about, but now that he was here, even if he wanted to turn around and return to Kyushu, he didn't have enough supplies.

So now there is only one choice left for these Kyushu monks, and that is to find the Northern Netherworld and then ascend.

Otherwise, just wait for the erosion of the cold wave, run out of mana, and freeze to death.

"Daoyou can think like this, I ......"

Zhen Xuan saw that Mo Li knew the stakes, but he was really dizzy, his heart was settled, and he was about to say a few words, when suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the leading ship in front of him, interrupting his words.

"What's going on up ahead?"

Mo Li also heard the movement in front of him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then listened attentively with Zhen Xuan.

"It's here, it's here."

"Ahead is the Sea of the Northern Styx, see?"

"That huge glacier is where the Youdu is located, and the formation is on it."

"We're finally here, woo...... Ascension ......"

"I survived."

Excited words came from the front.

And Mo Li and Zhenxuan, who heard these words, couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw ecstasy and excitement on each other's faces.

At this moment, the ship in which the two of them were located also sailed to the position of the previous pilot ship, and their vision became wider, and they could clearly see that under the distant skyline, a huge glacial island covered with ice and snow and a little blue in the snow white stood in front of the fleet.

"Youdu, it's finally ......"

Mo Li looked at the magnificent and majestic, ghostly deep glacier, and muttered in his mouth.

And Zhen Xuan was already calling out to the disciples of the sect, asking them to speed up the boat, and together with the same boiling and cheering fleet around them, they rushed towards the secluded capital that they longed for in their hearts.

The road of life is in front of you, the ascension is in front of you, and the avenue is in front of you.

Under the great temptation, not a single monk wants to stay on this damn sea, they just want to get ashore as soon as possible and face a better future as soon as possible.

More than 100 monks worked together, and the speed of more than 20 ships immediately increased a lot, and after traveling at sea for more than an hour, the fleet finally arrived at Beichuan, the secluded capital.

"Is this the place of the Hidden Capital?"

Mo Li got off the boat and stepped on the glacier before he came into contact with the ground, even if he was blocked by thick boots, he could still feel an extremely cold feeling, seeping from the ground.

And above the surrounding glaciers, the cold air was thick and windy, blowing on the ice field, scraping on the person's body, penetrating through the clothes on his body, and burrowing into his body.

It was only a few breaths, and Mo Li actually felt that his body was stiff and his blood was clotting.

This terrible cold wind was so frightened that Mo Li hurriedly urged his mana, wandered around his body, and used his mana to protect his whole body to drive away the cold wind.

The rest of the monks on the island also discovered this, and hurriedly urged their mana to resist the cold.

"It's too cold in this secluded capital, a little colder than the harsh winter we've experienced before."

At this time, in the crowd, the Jade Butterfly Daoist from Jizhou, Mu Yunzhen, said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, I am waiting in this cold wind, and I have to spend mana every moment to maintain the warmth of my body, and those Daoists who have cultivated to a low level will definitely not be able to last.

Now that they have all arrived in the Northern Netherworld, how can they be allowed to fall in front of the Ascension Gate and not enter?

According to the poor Dao's opinion, we should quickly enter the core of the hidden capital, immediately open the formation, and do the thing of lifting the realm to ascend, and we can't drag it down. ”

Mu Yun Zhenren has the highest cultivation rank among all the monks, and he is already close to the threshold of condensing two qi.

And the Jade Butterfly Road where he is located is also the largest immortal gate in Jizhou, and there are twenty-three monks when they go to sea.

Although two were lost in the last freeze, the number of monks still ranks first among all factions, and it is the first immortal gate in Kyushu.

When such a figure spoke, he considered the lives of many low-level monks, and naturally won the applause of the crowd, and no one objected at all.

So a group of Xianmen monks in Kyushu, under the leadership of the monks who had come to the Youdu last time, flew in a vertical and horizontal shape, and hurried towards the core formation of the Youdu.

The area of the Youdu Glacier is very large, just as vast, and the eyes are pale.

According to the classics, the glacier here was 3,000 miles wide in ancient times, which is comparable to the land of half a county in Kyushu.

But now that the forbidden formation of the hidden capital has leaked, the cold air has come out, and the nearby sea areas have turned into ice fields, and they are still expanding.

At this time, no one can say how big the Youdu Glacier is.

However, after the Kyushu monks traveled 2,000 miles in a hurry to reach the core of the Youdu City, they all had a rough inference that the area of the glacier in the Youdu should be no less than 10,000 miles wide.

Fortunately, for monks, even if they have not yet condensed their qi, with the support of mana, their physical fitness is very comparable.

Even the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes are inferior.

Therefore, the road of only 2,000 miles was completed by the monks in just three days.

And the monks in the team, even if they have the lowest cultivation, still have some remaining strength and do not consume too much mana.

It's just that although they have successfully arrived at the core of the hidden capital, watching this road through the ice field, some of the more kind-hearted monks can't help but feel a little worried about the creatures of Kyushu.

Now that the cold has only leaked for ten years, the ban on the Youdu Formation is still in effect, and the glacier has expanded by nearly 10,000 miles.

It was hard to imagine what it would be like for them to activate the formation and exhaust the last trace of active aura of the Heaven and Earth Dao, so that the Nether Capital Circle would be completely ineffective, and all the cold qi poured out unhindered.

I am afraid that in one or two decades, this northern sea of the underworld will turn into a glacier, and the secluded capital will expand southward, completely bordering the northern grasslands, the Xuanyu snow forest, and the western Gobi in the northernmost part of the mainland.

And the three prefectures of Yan, Hebei, and Xu, which are next to these three regions, may fall in less than one or two decades after the northern three regions turn into ice fields.

Kyushu Monk and Lu Yuan, their prediction of the Youdu formation and the prediction of this cold wave still deviated.

The time left for the countries of Kyushu, especially the countries of the Northland, is not a hundred years as imagined, but only sixty or seventy years.

Even now, because the Kyushu monk activated the formation and exhausted the last trace of energy in the secret capital, this time will be a few points earlier.

In the end, there are only forty or fifty years left, and the cold wave will flood the entire Northland, and maybe it will be.

However, the suffering of these Kyushu countries and Kyushu creatures, the monks who are about to soar to the immortal realm and become "immortals" on the glacier of the hidden capital will naturally not think about it.

There may be people who have thought of this, but in the face of Flying Immortal, no one will use their Dao life to exchange those mortals' preparation time for one or two decades.

Everyone is selfish, and monks are even more.

Therefore, after arriving at the core of the secluded capital, looking at the huge magic circle that was flashing with a ghostly blue spiritual light, and the whole exuded a vast aura that covered the entire valley for more than a hundred miles.

All the Kyushu monks were attracted and couldn't move away.

"The Ascension Array has arrived, fellow Daoists, time is pressing, we can't delay, let's start the formation immediately."

After a while, it was Mu Yunzhen who came back to his senses first and opened his mouth to propose.

"Good!"

"What Mu Yun Daoyou said is extremely true."

"I'll start the formation immediately."

Mu Yun proposed to say it, and the other Immortal Sect Dao masters in the field, Mo Li, Zhen Xuan and others, also spoke out in agreement.

Now that we have reached this point, the ascension is imminent, and no one will choose to back down.

Ascend or die.

Therefore, even if everyone still has doubts and concerns about Ascension in their hearts, they will not give up this path.

The people who are really scared are like Lu Yuan at this time, shrinking in Kyushu and enjoying glory and wealth.

Those who can be here are all people with firm Taoist hearts.

"Then according to the original plan, let's get started!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Mu Yunzhen and the rest of the Dao masters came to the core of the formation in a few places, and the other monks also entered the center of the formation.

Then, under Mu Yunzhen's order to "get up", they pinched the magic trick together and injected all the mana in their bodies towards the formation.

"Buzz!"

In the valley, the earth seemed to let out a roar, and then began to tremble violently.

The mana of the Kyushu monk is like a key, awakening this formation that has been silent for hundreds of years and rediscovering its power.

And with the start and operation of the formation, the massive spiritual energy between heaven and earth was extracted from all directions and north of Kyushu along the original trajectory that had been set.

Countless auras gathered and swarmed into the formation.

The monks were immersed in this sea of aura, just like the fish that had been thirsty on the shore for a long time, and the cells of their bodies were cheering.

Everyone's face showed a flush of excitement.

Under the abundance of aura that they had never experienced, they no longer had any doubts about whether they could fly to the immortal realm, and they were full of yearning.

Only in the fairy world can there be such a massive amount of aura.

You can be free to absorb the aura as you like.

The Kyushu monks who had lived a hard life for a long time, in the face of these countless aura, many of them couldn't help but shed tears.

Fortunately, the time for the formation to extract the aura did not last long.

After about a moment's effort, after the aura of the outside world was drained of ninety into nine, the magic circle of the Northern Netherworld finally accumulated enough aura.

Rumble!

A pillar of sky-high light rose from the formation, instantly illuminating the sky, and a huge spiritual pressure appeared, and before the Kyushu monks could react, their figures disappeared between heaven and earth when the spiritual light soared into the sky.

After more than ten breaths, as the last trace of spiritual power was exhausted, the pillar of light slowly disintegrated and dissipated, and finally returned to nothingness.

The formation in the valley also completely lost its energy because of the depletion of the aura.

The flickering spiritual light on the lines of those rituals darkened one after another, and the spiritual pressure that shrouded the valley also disintegrated.

And after the spiritual pressure disappeared, the suppression was lost, and where the formation was, countless cold air turned into a howling wind and blew towards the outside of the valley.

Everywhere you go, there is ice and snow.

The cold wave, on Kyushu, has really arrived.

This time, it's endless.
