Lord Sovereign - Chapter 161
In the northeast of the Yuan Kingdom, there was a huge plateau. The snow there did not melt all the year round, the icebergs were continuous, and the ferocious hurricane made it inaccessible. Even ordinary monsters were afraid of the climate here and hide in the corners of the plateau.
But this kind of place was also a place where some peculiar things grew. For an instance, the iceberg heavenly lotus was something that could only be found on icebergs. Of course, there were also many ferocious monsters there, which were very dangerous.
Hundreds of years ago, the Cultivation School of Yuan Kingdom found that there were many heavenly lotuses on these icebergs, so they began to take lotus milk of the heavenly lotus here, that is, the spring of life.
After many years, there were fewer and fewer springs of life there, and several major sects banned this frequent expenditures, and decided that sects members could only come here to collect the springs of life every five years.
Unexpectedly, in the past few years, this prohibition had been changed in the abnormal climate of the plateau. The prohibition had not only become irreversible, but the place could only be entered by people who have cultivated to the imperial stage .
As a result, some small sects rarely dare to send people in, and the sects were also very cautious. Nine out of ten people who entered would encounter danger, and half of them might die there.
Because of this, most sects would only send disciples who were on the peak stage of the Imperial, and because many disciples were reluctant to take this risk, some sects had established rules that as long as they could find the spring of life during the trip to the iceberg, they would own it.
In this way, many disciples became interested, and even many disciples from the second through the late stage of the imperial realm would risk their lives to come here in order to obtain the spring of life.
Every five years, at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it was the day when the various sects of self-cultivation in the Yuan kingdom would start their journey to the iceberg.
Early this morning, not far from the ban on the iceberg, a huge gourd slowly landed, and dozens of people walked down from it, all wearing silver-white clothes. The first was an elegant man in white robes, who slowly walked down from the gourd, turned around and looked at the huge yellow gourd, but did not intend to put it away.
And behind him, there were dozens of young people with dignified expressions, standing aside, looking at the iceberg in the distance a little bit at a loss.
Most of these people were at the first stage of the imperial realm, and they couldn’t bear the low temperature. Many people had been using their true qi to keep out the cold.
Only the man in the white robe in front was still composed and his face remained unchanged.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the crowd and came to the man in white robe: “Junior Brother Lin, I don’t know how many people from other sects will come this time. But I heard that they have been recruited for the past five years. It took a lot of effort, and we also recruited a lot of talented disciples, this time it seems that our Lingxiu Mountain is more fortunate than the last time.”
These people were the disciples of Lingxiu Mountain who came to participate in the trip to the iceberg, and it was Lin Quan and Dong Dingshan who led the team this time.
Lin Quan didn’t like Dong Dingshan very much at first, but no one liked this chore. When it was Lin Quan’s turn, he couldn’t let him do it by himself. After asking for assistance for the journey a long time, only Dong Dingshan agreed.
“Senior brother, don’t worry too much.” Lin Quan said with a smile: “We are not here to compete. It’s good that the disciples can get what they are sure to get, and don’t worry about anything else.”
Dong Dingshan nodded, stood aside and stopped talking.
Not far behind them, Fei Hong was standing next to a stone, excited and nervous. Excitedly, on this trip to the iceberg, he was very likely to see Zhang Long and the others. With their talents, after more than two years of entering the sect, they would definitely have the strength to enter this iceberg trip.
More importantly, he might be able to see Bai Daxia, and if he could see Li Ling, he would collapse with excitement!
What was making him nervous was that before this trip to the iceberg, he entered seclusion to cultivate again, but he still did not gain anything, and his strength still stayed at the late stage of the imperial realm, which made him very helpless.
Before coming to Bingshan, the head Zhong Qingyang once told the disciples who signed up that in the iceberg, it was not only the Bingshan heavenly lotus that could be found, but there were many other rare spirit grasses and minerals, which were still a lot of wealth.
Of course, if he could get two copies of the same item, you have to hand over one to the one inside the door. This was also fair, because this iceberg ban could only be opened by the uncles of these sects.
All these made Fei Hong nervous. As an alchemist and a smith, he knew the importance of spirit grass and ore! Another reason was that the ban was only open for three days at a time, that meant that, he must get out of the ban within three days. If you delay the time, you could only wait for the next five years.
But so far, no one has been able to live in the ban for five years and come out alive….
