Chapter 26 Xuepo Island (Attached: Tiannan Map)
Since killing a late Jindan cultivator from the Luanming Sect would easily attract the search and investigation of Yuanying cultivators, Xuyang did not enter the market town again in the rest of his journey.
Although Xuyang is not afraid of the early Nascent Soul stage due to his strong body and amazing magical powers, and whether to run or fight is up to him, he will be dumbfounded if he is exposed and the news spreads, leading to Tiannan organizing a dragon-slaying conference or something.
Moreover, if he attracted a great cultivator of the middle or late stage, he would not be able to resist at all since he had not yet transformed. He could only rely on the jade pendant to search for him and evade pursuit all day long. He would not have to practice to overcome the tribulation.
After spending a month hiding his whereabouts and hurrying on his way, Xuyang crossed the entire Feilu Kingdom and finally saw the coastline.
Ten years later, Xuyang saw the sea again, but he was not very happy, because unlike the Chaos Starry Sea where all things flourish, this sea in the south of the sky is very desolate and is called the Boundless Sea.
After leaving the coastline for thousands of miles, the concentration of spiritual energy dropped sharply, and it was difficult to even maintain the early stage of Qi training. There were no islands within these ten thousand miles, and the sea was dead silent. Except for a few ferocious sea beasts, there was not a single monster.
Apart from their huge size and ferocious appearance, these sea beasts have no spiritual attributes at all and are completely worthless.
Because he was full of fear of the strangeness of the Boundless Sea, in order to prevent any unexpected inexplicable danger, he kept a low profile and did not perform the amazing Fire Escape Technique. Instead, he took out a small sword, the Fire Python Sword, from the storage bag of an old man from the Luanming Sect, refined it a little, and walked on the sword.
Following the direction indicated by the jade slip, holding the intermediate spirit stone in his hand to absorb spiritual power, he headed towards the so-called Xuepo Island.
Half a month later, a medium-sized island covered by endless white snow suddenly appeared in front of the lifeless sea. The island was more than 100,000 miles in radius, and cold air and ice could be seen everywhere.
As soon as he entered this place, the jade pendant search revealed traces of human cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and fourth and fifth level ice-type monsters, which made Xuyang, who had been muttering to himself all the way, overjoyed.
"Qian Jinbao! You are my lucky star! I rewarded you not in vain!"
Since he had a clear location, Xuyang ignored these local cultivators, whose highest cultivation level was only at the Jindan stage. When he passed by a large city where mortals and cultivators lived together, he just glanced at them and continued on his way.
Two days later, we came directly to a low-lying basin in the extreme north of the island. This place is covered with glaciers that never melt all year round. The weather is so cold that water turns into ice. There are also some fist-sized hailstones mixed in the ice and snow, hitting the glaciers with "crackling" sounds.
There is a cold pool deep in the glacier. The cold here is several times colder than that in the outer glaciers!
But the strange thing is that the blue water in the pond is not frozen. A faint white mist floats on the cold pond. In particular, within a few hundred feet around the cold pond, it is abnormally warm and pleasant, and many rare and precious spiritual herbs with amazing spiritual energy grow there. They are all covered by an inverted semicircular formation, flashing red spiritual light.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a red face was sitting in the center of the formation, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
When the rising sun appeared above the cold pond, the middle-aged man who was in deep cultivation suddenly frowned, took out a white jade array plate from his storage bag, looked at the constantly shining light, widened his eyes, let out a light exclamation, and without hesitation released his spiritual consciousness, and then looked up into the sky in surprise.
The middle-aged man then discovered that, at some point, a man in a black cloak had appeared suspended above the formation. The strange thing was that, with the cloaked man as the center, all the wind and snow were isolated by an invisible force and could not do anything to him at all.
The middle-aged man was shocked. Ever since their Shuang family overthrew the Xu family and became the owner of this island a thousand years ago, the only high-level cultivators on this island were the four Jindan stage cultivators from their Shuang family. This cold pond was the most important forbidden area of the family, and he, as the elder of the forbidden area, was one of the four Jindan stage cultivators.
No matter who visits this place, they must be notified in advance by the Great Elder with the highest cultivation level, who is in the middle stage of the Jindan period. The appearance of this cloaked man was extremely abrupt and it was obviously not any of them.
Although the divine sense could not see through the specific cultivation level of the cloaked man, to stand above the cold pond without fear of the extreme cold here, one must have a cultivation level above the middle stage of Jindan. The middle-aged man was able to practice here all year round, relying on the ancient formation inherited from the Xu clan, the Ice and Fire Polar Formation, so that he could not be afraid of the amazing cold here.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and the middle-aged man, in shock and doubt, injected a large amount of magic power into the formation without hesitation. After watching the red light of the formation grow brighter, his expression relaxed, and he took out the sound transmission talisman, muttering to himself.
"It seems that this is the cold pond at the entrance to the ten thousand year old black jade mine. It's worth my while to climb on the ice and lie in the snow, spending so much time on the journey. Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoist. Why don't you pour me a cup of spiritual tea so that we can discuss Taoism?" The cloaked man above suddenly spoke.
The middle-aged man ignored the words, whispered a few words into the sound transmission note, sneered, raised his hand and threw the sound transmission note out, which turned into a ball of white light and passed through the formation, shooting towards the south. In a few flashes, it was dozens of feet away and was about to disappear.
"Boom"
The sound transmission note that was about to fly away suddenly exploded, and a circle of red and white fire waves appeared in its place. After destroying the sound transmission note, a ray of light emerged from the fire waves, flew back to the side of the cloaked man, slowly turned, and revealed its true appearance.
This object is pointed in front and wide in the back. It is red gold, red and white in color, and three inches in size. It is Xuyang's natal magic weapon, the Red Flame Cone.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Seeing that the middle-aged man not only did not respond but also tried to call for external help, Xuyang became angry and sneered. The huge mouth under his cloak spit out a large amount of red glow towards the Red Flame Cone.
Xuyang originally wanted to trick the formation open with words, then plant the forbidden magic on him and recruit him under his command, but when he saw that the middle-aged man didn't give him any chance, he didn't hesitate any more.
The red flame cone burst into flames, and a circle of red and white fire waves spread out. Under the unreserved infusion of Xuyang's magic power, it turned into a golden-red light, circling at a high speed, and strands of pure white fire spirit threads danced around the sharp cone.
After building up momentum in a snap of the fingers, the Red Flame Cone was completely hidden in the golden-red light band. Its speed was so fast that even Xuyang was a little surprised. This was the first time in hundreds of years that this treasure had been fully activated.
Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years of Danhuo cultivation, the power exceeded his expectations.
"break!"
"Boom!"
The almost invisible red flame cone disappeared in a flash and stabbed fiercely at the inverted light shield. The violent spiritual power fluctuations accompanied by the blazing white light exploded in an instant.
An attack of this intensity is beyond the scope of the Jindan stage, and even masters in the Yuanying stage would not dare to take it head-on.
The originally thick and solid formation suddenly emitted a bright red glow, flickering unsteadily, forming a depression at the point of collision, and was actually in a stalemate with the Red Flame Cone.
Ladies and gentlemen! Ticket, collection, pursuit, understand?
