Jiang Xuelan was silent for a long time before nodding.
“Go to sleep.” David stood up. “We still have to leave tomorrow.”
He walked to the edge of the plateau, sat with his back against a pine tree, placed the Dragon Slayer Sword in his lap, closed his eyes, and slowly executed the Mind Concentration Technique.
The power of chaos flowed through his meridians, gradually dispelling the fatigue of the day.
His divine sense still maintained maximum range, and everything within a fifty mile radius was within his perception.
The auras of those demonic cultivators were still palpable. They had stopped in a valley about ten miles away, probably to spend the night.
Su Yuqi’s aura seemed clear and stable amidst the group of devil cultivators, like a dark red flame burning in the darkness.
As David felt the flames, various indescribable emotions rose within him.
He was only ten miles away.
Ten miles.
For Golden Immortal cultivators, this distance could be covered in an instant.
But he couldn’t go to see her.
Not because I don’t want to, but because I can’t.
He didn’t know his current identity, who the demonic cultivators around him were, or what his purpose was in appearing near the Northern Cold Abyss.
Recognizing each other in a hurry could cause problems for him, or it could also cause problems for me.
The best way is to wait.
Once we reach the Northern Cold Abyss, once the time is right, once everything is revealed.
David took a deep breath, suppressing the chaotic thoughts that were haunting him. He activated the Mind Concentration Technique at full power, and the power of chaos flowed through his meridians, launching an attack on the late stage eighth rank True God.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, David opened his eyes from meditation, a ray of light flashing in his purple eyes.
Although the cultivation that night did not allow him to break through to the late stage of the eighth rank of True God, the chaotic power in his meridians became more condensed than before, and the total amount of spiritual power also increased significantly.
We are only one step away from a breakthrough.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and his bones crackled slightly.
Jiang Xuelan had finished packing and was standing at the edge of the terrace, facing north.
Her clothes today are different from yesterday. She wore a snow-white long dress with snow-blue snowflake motifs embroidered on the bottom. Her long hair was tied up with a snow blue hairpin, making her look like a snow lotus blooming amidst the snow.
“These clothes” David was a little surprised.
“The clan uniform of the Ice God bloodline.”
Jiang Xuelan’s voice was very gentle, “If there really are Ice God bloodline members in the Northern Dark Abyss, I would like to meet them as Ice God bloodline descendants.”
David nodded without saying anything else.
The two continued their journey.
Heading north from the plateau, the terrain becomes increasingly steep, and the pine forests gradually disappear, replaced by large areas of bare rocks and pebble beaches.
When the temperature drops, water vapor in the air condenses into tiny ice crystals, which shimmer with rainbow colors in the sun.
Frost began to appear on the ground. At first, it’s just a thin layer, but the further north you go, the thicker the frost gets. Finally, the frost made a crunching sound when stepped on, like stepping on snow.
David realized that the demon cultivators’ auras were still following him, and he was still around ten miles away.
However, their speed seemed slower, not because they didn’t want to go faster, but because they also had to face the cold air coming from the Northern Dark Abyss.
Although the Demon Clan’s supreme flame can resist the cold, the cold of the Northern Abyss is not ordinary cold, but the power of extreme cold passed down for hundreds of thousands of years by the bloodline of the Ice God, which has a natural restraining effect on the fire attribute.
The demon cultivators in the True Immortal Realm were already struggling, and their speed was much slower than yesterday.
However, Su Yuqi and the three demon cultivators at the Golden Immortal realm remained calm. Their cultivation level was high enough that the cold air had little effect on them.
“They are still following us,” Jiang Xuelan said quietly.
“Hmm.” David turned north. “Ignore them, let’s go our separate ways.”
The two of them quickened their steps and headed towards the Northern Dark Abyss.
After walking for about two more hours, the sight ahead made David and Jiang Xuelan stop at the same time.
We have arrived at the Northern Gorge.
Standing on the edge of the Northern Abyss, David finally understood why the map described this place as the “Fragile Forbidden Land”.
Before me stretched an endless expanse of ice, its surface a deep icy blue, like a giant sapphire stretching across the land.
The surface of the ice was filled with cracks and folds, each crack was several meters deep, and every fold looked like it had been squeezed by a huge force, recording the history of the glacier’s movement for hundreds of thousands of years.
