Chapter 1507: Chapter 1419: Northern Scenery
Wen Ya understood that now the three of them were actually tied to Ye Guichen.
After all, even though the three of them had three mouths, they were absolutely no match for the Third Elder’s one mouth.
Even if their master believed their words, the Sect Leader would definitely not believe them.
Moreover, he was unwilling to believe from the bottom of his heart.
Because Ye Guichen threatened the position of the Sect Leader, even if he knew Ye Guichen broke the Kunlun Seal, he would never admit it.
Maybe in no time, the three of them would become traitors of the Qianji Sect.
"Then we will wait for you over by the ice wall!" Wen Ya cupped his hands towards Ye Guichen and said no more.
Their uncle-master was dead, and now they couldn’t even return to the Qianji Sect; Wen Ya suddenly felt mentally exhausted.
After the three left, Ye Guichen didn’t linger either; after bidding farewell to Chen Liangce and Feng Zhuo, he quickly departed as well.
Although Chen Liangce still wanted to say a few words, Ye Guichen was determined, and nothing Chen Liangce said would work.
Ye Guichen, however, didn’t actually leave.
Taking advantage of others’ inattention, he had already slipped underground.
He couldn’t wait to transform the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor. Not only that, but he also wanted to completely refine his uncle-master.
After he succeeded in refining, the Flood Dragon King should have already adapted to his body.
With so much combat power, even if he went to the Qianji Sect, Ye Guichen felt he wouldn’t have many opportunities to take action.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
After Ye Guichen reached underground, he first used the powerful force of the Kunlun Seal to completely sever the connections between the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor, then brought the half bodies of the four Iron Armor men he previously killed to repair his uncle-master.
While repairing, Ye Guichen began refining the Earthly Branches Twelve Iron Armor, breaking them one by one.
Time flew by.
Ye Guichen stayed underground for an entire month.
During this month, not only did Ye Guichen completely refine his uncle-master into a super strongman of the fifth rank Golden Core, but he also gave his uncle-master a sword to use.
This sword was called the Impermanence Sword, which had the effect of slaying phantoms, and once it killed a living person, it would also have damaging power to their soul.
Moreover, as long as his uncle-master had a Spirit Stone to activate, he would be able to fight indefinitely.
As for the Twelve Earthly Branch Iron Armor, they were also refined by Ye Guichen, becoming his twelve puppets.
Furthermore, after being refined with the soldiers’ untie technique by Ye Guichen, the combat power of the twelve Iron Armor men became even stronger.
Although they were both Iron Armor people, they were different from his uncle-master.
Ye Guichen had a sword tomb, filled with treasure swords, and he wasn’t stingy either, giving twelve treasure swords to the twelve Iron Armor men.
On the surface, these twelve Iron Armor men only had about the cultivation level of the fifth layer of the Golden Core, but if they united and combined with the Twelve Immortal Swords, they could probably even kill a Nascent Soul Realm old monster.
In addition, the flood dragon had completely adapted to its body.
When it found Ye Guichen, it was extremely excited, speaking human words and constantly hovering around Ye Guichen.
Watching the flood dragon reborn, Ye Guichen also took out the jiao long egg he previously obtained and threw it into the flood dragon’s mouth, instructing, "Your physique is too large, and now you’re a living creature, not a phantom body, so it is not easy to take you along. In that case, stay atop the ice wall to cultivate and hatch these eggs meanwhile. Someday when I return, I’ll take you to the nine heavens above!"
The flood dragon nodded repeatedly, "At your command!"
After saying this, the flood dragon sprang into the air, landing atop the ice wall, quickly concealing its form.
As for the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, Ye Guichen also had it stay within the dense forests of the Northern Wilderness, taking care of the vast Kunlun mechanism. If anyone dared to destroy the mechanism, it would devour them.
After dealing with everything in the Northern Wilderness, Ye Guichen also decided to leap over the ice wall to see the world outside.
And within this month, the Daqian Dynasty had spread Ye Guichen’s name far and wide.
Ye Guichen was in the limelight, almost surpassing Qin Cangqiong.
Many ordinary people had even erected statues of Ye Guichen, treating him as their Guardian God.
After all, without Ye Guichen, under the rampant beasts, they feared they would have long been devoured by them.
And just as Ye Guichen was preparing to depart, Zhu Biao and Wei Lin appeared.
These two decided to follow Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen did not refuse them.
"What exactly is on the other side of the ice wall?" Ye Guichen knew these two had been to many places, always swindling and deceiving, but they were considered seasoned adventurers, somewhat familiar with the matters beyond the ice wall.
Zhu Biao pondered and said, "No one knows where this ice wall comes from, and there is a legend that it blocks the road to immortality. Some even call this wall the Ascension Wall. Just crossing this wall is considered as touching the path to immortality."
At this point, Wei Lin could only smile wryly and shook his head, "But only those who have truly crossed the Ascension Wall know that it’s all nothing but an illusion. The other side of the world can only be described as harsh, and becoming an Immortal is still far away. Moreover, the competition among cultivators over there is even more brutal, and one can easily get killed if not careful."
Zhu Biao added, "Yes, back then, we embarked on a quest to find the Chaos Sea, and struggled to cross the Ascension Wall, only to almost die beneath it, becoming one of countless bones."
Saying this, Zhu Biao was still somewhat apprehensive.
Ye Guichen asked suspiciously, "What’s on the other side of the ice wall?"
Zhu Biao responded, "The Barbarian Tribe, and even some small sects, patrol the edges of the ice wall specifically to hunt people climbing over to seize treasures from them."
Wei Lin said angrily, "The weak, no matter where they are, have no voice. Those small sects, lacking good resources, have no choice but to snatch from these normal cultivators. So, many cultivators who attempt to climb the Heavenly Wall become their targets. These cultivators often haven’t reached the Golden Core Realm, their cultivation is weak, yet they cling to the faint hope of becoming Immortals. Haha, it’s truly laughable!"
Listening to their chatter, Ye Guichen roughly understood the cruelty of that place.
The Barbarian Tribe resides on the other side of the ice wall.
Moreover, various sects are everywhere, competing for resources, killing each other.
The purpose of all these sects is to find the Chaos Sea.
After all, only by entering the Chaos Sea can one find the path to immortality.
Every cultivator aspires to become an Immortal.
Even the Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators of Netherworld Mountain are just one among the forces beyond the ice wall.
"Barbarians?"
After roughly understanding, Ye Guichen had an idea in his mind.
Since the Barbarians live beyond the ice wall, and having subdued many of them himself.
This time, though the Barbarians suffered casualties in their confrontation with the beasts, most of them remained.
When Chen Liangce and others left, they did not take the Barbarians with them, leaving them by the ice wall for Ye Guichen to deal with.
Ye Guichen thought for a moment, then decided to take the remaining seven Barbarians with him to cross the ice wall.
Recalling those Barbarians, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but think of the ring they once gave him.
Now that he had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, he might be able to break the seal on that ancient ring and see what’s inside.
With this thought, Ye Guichen attempted to unlock the seal’s restrictions.
But it didn’t budge.
Ye Guichen tried several times, discovering it was useless.
It seemed that with his current strength, he still couldn’t move the ring at all.
It appears this ring is more formidable than I imagined!
The more this was the case, the more Ye Guichen anticipated.
Since the ring represented the Barbarians’ origin, it might really be something from an Immortal.
The ring might even contain many treasures.
Seeing he couldn’t open the ring, Ye Guichen stopped worrying about it and took Zhu Biao and Wei Lin to find the seven Barbarians.
The seven Barbarians, having recognized Ye Guichen as their master, respectfully greeted him upon seeing him.
The shaman even knelt on both knees, indicating a willingness to carry Ye Chen across the ice wall.
"Shaman, do you wish to return to your tribe?" Ye Guichen shook his head and asked.
The shaman’s eyes revealed longing, first nodding firmly, then shaking his head vigorously.
Ye Guichen found it strange, "What, is there something you want to say?"
The shaman smiled bitterly, "I’ve left our tribe for decades, and now that I’ve recognized you as my master — you’re human. Recognizing a human as master betrays the Barbarian Tribe. I’m afraid I can’t return."
The other Barbarians, upon hearing this, all lowered their heads, seemingly desolate.
Ye Guichen hadn’t expected such a strange rule from the Barbarian Tribe: "What if I let you return?"
"What?" The shaman and the Barbarians all looked up, gazing at Ye Guichen in disbelief.
But immediately, the shaman still shook his head, "Once a master, always a master. We can’t betray our oath. If we do, we would be punished by the Heavenly God, with no chance of reincarnation even after death."
Clearly, the shaman and others had a certain belief in their hearts.
Seeing the shamans with solemn faces, worried that Ye Guichen might truly abandon them, Ye Guichen sighed, "In that case, once we’ve crossed the ice wall, I’ll go back to your tribe with you, hoping they’ll accept you again."
The shaman and the other Barbarians remained silent but nodded quietly, "Everything will be as the master commands."
Ye Guichen said nothing more and, together with Zhu Biao and Wei Lin, headed toward the ice wall.
Ye Guichen, now able to fly through the air, was the first to reach the top of the ice wall easily.
As for Zhu Biao, Wei Lin, and the Barbarians, they still had to exert effort, climbing step by step.
The massive ice wall stood a hundred zhang tall, yet the Barbarians moved like monkeys, their large hands and feet adhering to the ice wall like suction cups, very steady.
Zhu Biao and Wei Lin had a harder time climbing.
Ye Guichen didn’t rush, standing atop the ice wall, looking ahead.
What he saw was a vast white expanse.
Like the northern landscapes, the world of ice was immensely spectacular!
