Chapter 668: Chapter 275: Solved in One Move!!_2
That day, after being warned by that green-haired, green-clothed woman, he couldn’t possibly not be angry.
But constrained by the circumstances at the time, he didn’t erupt.
If he encountered that woman alone, he could crush her with a slap.
"As for this matter, let the Sect Leader handle it. I won’t get involved. Time is short, I need to hurry to the Arctic."
Jiang Shi replied, recalling something, and asked, "By the way, is there a map?"
"Yes, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion and retrieve it directly."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said.
"Alright!"
Jiang Shi nodded, dashed forward, and disappeared from the spot instantly.
Before long, Jiang Shi had obtained a yellowed beast-skin map from the Scripture Pavilion, clearly depicting various terrains and mountain ranges of the Arctic Glacier.
Jiang Shi picked up the map, called for Daoist Master Xuan, and with a flash of his body, swiftly left the place.
He called Daoist Master Xuan simply because the man had lived long enough and had broad knowledge. In case they encountered something strange and unknown at the Arctic Glacier, this guy would probably be useful.
As the saying goes, an elder in the home is like a treasure.
It was the same at the Divine Tomb before.
The two sped swiftly, soon riding the teleportation array from the Celestial Demon Headquarters to the heart of the Central State, and then from there, took the teleportation array again, a flash of light, arriving at the edge of the Northern Desert.
Upon officially entering the edge of this Northern Desert, they immediately increased their speed, continuing towards the far north.
This journey took over half a month.
Vast areas of desolate mountains unfolded before their eyes.
In the forefront, vast expanses of majestic icebergs began to appear, and a bitter chill pervaded between heaven and earth.
All that met their eyes was a vast whiteness, with hardly any living beings in sight.
"This is the Arctic Glacier."
Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed as he stood atop a towering iceberg, unfolded the map, looked around, and said, "It is said that when the Supreme Yang Fire Seed appears, a blue glow will appear between heaven and earth, shining conspicuously. I wonder if we will have such luck this time. Daoist Master Xuan, is the Purple Dragon Grass ready?"
"Rest assured, it’s prepared."
Daoist Master Xuan nodded solemnly.
This Supreme Yang Fire Seed, in essence, is like a form of life, with its own consciousness, usually hidden beneath the glaciers, fond of the scent of Purple Dragon Grass.
So, to capture it, one must rely on Purple Dragon Grass to lure it out; otherwise, simply waiting foolishly, you might not see it once in hundreds of years.
"Good, let’s move ahead, find a place, and set up the grand formation."
Jiang Shi said.
"Hmm."
Daoist Master Xuan nodded gently.
The two of them executed their body technique, flickered lightly, and vanished from the spot instantly.
Soon.
Jiang Shi and Daoist Master Xuan halted again, landing on a solid icefield.
Jiang Shi couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, looking into the distance.
In the forefront, atop myriad towering icebergs, sat various figures, fat and thin, tall and short, their auras elusive, motionless.
Even in the open areas between the icebergs, occasionally a sitting figure could be seen.
"These guys have been living in seclusion here for years..."
Jiang Shi’s heart surged as he scanned the area.
There were indeed many of them.
Previously, when he heard the Celestial Demon Sect Leader mention it, he was indifferent.
But seeing it now, he couldn’t help but feel an invisible pressure.
More importantly, each of these is occupying an iceberg.
If he wanted to set up the grand array to attract the Supreme Yang Fire Seed, it wouldn’t be that easy.
At the very least, he had to choose an iceberg first.
"Mr. Jiang, everyone on these icebergs is a master. To occupy an iceberg here, there’s only one way — defeat the person on it."
Daoist Master Xuan suddenly transmitted his voice, warning Jiang Shi.
In the past, before his physical demise, he had also visited this Arctic Glacier.
Everyone here could be described as a Martial Madman, willing to pay any price to enhance their strength; some have even sat here for three to four thousand years.
They desperately desire to be challenged and to challenge others, as only through mutual challenges can their martial arts advance further.
So, over time, this rule was formed.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Shi frowned tightly.
Although he didn’t want to stir up trouble right away, if that was indeed the rule, then he would have to take action accordingly.
"Let’s look around first and see if there’s any other place to settle."
Jiang Shi responded.
To attract the Supreme Yang Fire Seed, a more peaceful environment was ideal.
He didn’t want the Supreme Yang Fire Seed to be scared away by others just as it was being drawn out.
Hence, avoiding populous places was best for him.
Jiang Shi and Daoist Master Xuan immediately moved again, flickering lightly and quickly vanished.
Soon, they began checking around, their speed extremely fast, flickering back and forth like points of light, swiftly covering a radius of several hundred miles.
But as they continued to survey the geographic formations, Jiang Shi’s brows furrowed tighter.
This area indeed had many people.
Although other places had fewer people than initially, every three or four miles, there sat a master.
Besides the icebergs, there also existed many large rift valleys, endless darkness, the bottom unseen.
