Yunquan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t say anything.
He knew David was telling the truth.
“So, Mr. Chen intends to”
“Let’s do something else first.” David turned to Jiang Xuelan, who was sitting in the corner. “Help Jiang Xuelan find the people of the Ice God bloodline.”
Jiang Xuelan’s fingers twitched slightly. He didn’t speak, but a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Yunquan nodded: “What kind of help do you need? Although Youyue Kingdom is poor, it still has manpower.”
“No need.” David shook his head. “This matter is best not made public. Too many people will only cause trouble. Jiang Xuelan and I are enough.”
Yunxi stood up and said: “I will go too.”
David looked at him and said, “Your injury is not completely healed.”
“I’m almost fully recovered.”
Yunxi raised his arm, black ghost energy flowing in his palm. “After all, I am the daughter of the Ghost Clan, and I know more people on Fifteenth Heaven than you. I can help find people.”
David was silent for a moment, then nodded.
“Okay. You come too.”
Yunxi’s lips curved upwards slightly.
David, Jiang Xuelan, and Yun Xi left Youyue Kingdom and flew southwest towards the Youming Mountains.
Their first targets were the five Ice God bloodline users that David sensed in the Heavenly Fire Pit.
David only managed to find out the general location of the five people; they were all at the gathering place of independent cultivators around the Underworld Mountain Range.
“How do you plan to persuade them?” Yunxi asked.
David thought for a moment: “Let’s see how things go. If they are willing to join the Ice God Shrine, we will take them with us. If not”
“I won’t force them,” Jiang Xuelan replied. “The Ice God bloodline never forces anyone. But I will let them know that they are not alone.”
Yunxi glanced at Jiang Xuelan but said nothing.
The three flew for about two days before landing on the barren land.
There is a small town in the middle of the wilderness called “Frozen Wind Town”.
The town is small, having only a few hundred households, most of whom are independent farmers.
The buildings in the city were made of stone, low and simple, and looked as if they would collapse in the wind.
Based on the information contained in the jade plate, David found a stone house on the east side of the city.
The door of the stone house was slightly ajar, and there was a coughing sound from inside. David knocked on the door.
“WHO?”
An old voice sounded from inside.
“A farmer who happened to be passing by. Looking for an excuse to fetch water.”
The door opened.
An old man stood in the doorway. His hair was gray, his face looked old, and his back was slightly hunched.
His cultivation level was only at the first level of the True Immortal Realm, which was the lowest level of the 15th Heaven.
His eyes looked misty and tired, but when he looked at David, his pupils narrowed slightly.
He felt something.
The feeling was very vague.
It was as if something latent in my bloodline had been touched, as if buried memories had been awakened.
“You are” The old man’s voice trembled slightly.
David looked at him and said calmly, “My name is David. I am Jiang Xuelan, a descendant of the Ice God bloodline.”
The old man’s body jolted violently.
“Ice God bloodline?”
His eyes widened in disbelief. “Impossible Ice God Bloodline has been around for a long time”
“No.” Jiang Xuelan stepped forward and stood in front of the old man. “The Ice God bloodline has not gone extinct. I am the proof that I am still alive.”
He raised his right hand, and a ball of ice blue light condensed in his palm.
The light was pure and cool, giving off an ancient and noble aura.
The aura resonated with the old man’s bloodline, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
“You…you really…” Tears welled up in the old man’s eyes. “My grandfather said…our ancestors came from the bloodline of the Ice God…I thought it was just a legend…”
“This is not a legend. I come from the lineage of the Ice God and the Palace Master of the Divine Palace.”
Jiang Xuelan retracted the light. “You have the bloodline of the Ice God within you. Although it is very weak, it does exist. If you are willing, I can help you awaken it.”
The old man remained silent for a long time.
Then, he knelt down.
His voice was hoarse yet firm, “This old servant is willing.”
The old man’s name is Hanshan, and this year he is 3,700 years old.
His ancestors were indeed cultivators of the Ice God bloodline, but their bloodline had been eroded through generations, and in his generation, only faint traces remained.
He thought his life would end like this, but he never expected to meet a descendant of the Ice God bloodline during his life.
Jiang Xuelan asked him to sit cross-legged and placed his hands on his back.
Ice-blue divine light radiated from his palm, flowing into Han Shan’s body through his meridians.
David stepped aside and channeled a stream of chaotic power into Han Shan’s dantian.
The power of chaos is a powerful catalyst.
It can activate dormant blood vessels, repair damaged meridians, and increase the strength of the physical body.
Under the combined influence of David’s chaos power and Jiang Xuelan’s ice god power, the ice god bloodline within Han Shan’s body began to awaken.
