This made Wu Bolin very happy.
The aurora borealis, which had disappeared for several days, suddenly returned!
He felt that the appearance of the aurora at this time was a very good sign!
This is a sign that you will soon acquire a great treasure and start a new chapter in your life!
His body trembled with excitement as he laughed heartily within the thousand-meter-deep ice cave: “Heaven has helped me! This is truly heaven’s help! I thought everything had reached a dead end, but I never expected this to be such a great blessing from God! The gateway to this ascent is hidden deep within the rock layers beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. Even Japanese exploration equipment cannot reach this depth. If the American army hadn’t invaded Antarctica, even if those Japanese had explored the entire Antarctic for me, they would never have found this place! This is fate! This is truly fate!”
After saying that, he let out a long roar, mobilizing more spiritual energy from his body, making the flying sword go even faster!
Meanwhile, at the Nordic research station.
Charlie, Jeremiah Yun, and Song Ruyu were still in seclusion, so Maria Lin sat by the window making tea. There hadn’t been any aurora for the past few days, and Charlie hadn’t come out of his seclusion. Although Maria Lin was a little lonely, she wasn’t bored. She spent her days drinking tea, reading books, and divining. She felt quite content during this polar night.
However, he was always cautious. Since it was the polar night outside and there was an elder of the Corrupt Qing Society who was nowhere to be found wandering around Antarctica, he always made sure to close all the curtains tightly before emitting any light.
At that moment, Maria Lin closed the curtains and boiled water in an electric kettle. Once the water was boiling, she brewed a cup of Pu’er tea, then turned off the lights and drew back the curtains.
As soon as he opened the curtains, he was surprised to find that the polar night outside the window was no longer just filled with hazy starlight; instead, streaks of aurora, like endless green ribbons, appeared in the sky!
Maria Lin was very happy at that time.
He immediately got up and went to the room where Charlie, Jeremiah Yun, and Song Ruyu were alone. He knocked gently on the door and said, “Young Master, the aurora has appeared!”
Charlie immediately woke up from his meditation.
The aurora borealis has arrived!
These past few days, he had been replenishing the spiritual energy in his body to a state of fullness, almost overflowing, just waiting for the aurora to arrive so he could immediately make a deal with the mysterious creature and also use the overflowing spiritual energy.
The aurora borealis has finally arrived!
Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu were also awakened by Maria Lin’s voice. They opened their eyes and looked at Charlie. Song Ruyu asked in surprise, “Mr. Wade, the aurora appeared again?”
Charlie stood up happily and said with a smile, “Miss Lin said it has appeared, so it must have appeared. Let’s take a look!”
After saying that, he walked to the door and opened it. Maria Lin stood outside the door with a happy expression.
Charlie looked out the window and realized that the aurora had indeed appeared. He immediately said, “The aurora is right above us, so we don’t have to go far. We can just go outside and start practicing hand seals.”
Maria Lin asked him, “If you, young master, perform a hand seal, and that mysterious entity uses the aurora to cast a new hand seal of the Great Sun Tathagata, will it be seen by the elders of the Qing Destruction Society?”
Charlie smiled: “Of course there are risks, but I think it’s worth it. After all, the aurora stretches for thousands of miles and is constantly changing. If you look at the aurora from another angle, you might see thousands of miles of overlapping laser beams, making it difficult to see the specific shape of the aurora. Only when we are directly under the handprint can we see it clearly.”
Then Charlie added, “Sure, there are risks involved, but I think it’s worth the risk. Antarctic winter is still at least two months away, and we can’t just sit here and wait to die for the rest of the month.”
Maria Lin nodded slowly and said, “What I said makes perfect sense. It’s still unknown whether we can see it from a distance. Even if we can, its shape might not be the same as what we see from below.”
The four of them then immediately left the warm research station.
Arriving at the courtyard, Charlie immediately sat cross-legged on the snow, intending to immediately activate a hand seal that generated a large amount of spiritual energy.
It was at that moment that Wu Bolin mustered all his strength and broke through the last layer of ice separating him from the cave entrance.
To his surprise, the dark entrance seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, making it impossible for his body to enter.
At that time, he seemed to be floating for no apparent reason above the cave entrance, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get his body in the slightest.
At this time, in Charlie’s sea of consciousness, a mostly repaired golden pagoda slowly emerged from the sea, followed by a burst of golden light.
Before Charlie could finish making the hand seals, Maria Lin suddenly exclaimed, “Young Master, look!”
Charlie, who was concentrating on forming hand seals, suddenly looked up and found that the aurora in the sky had changed its appearance before he finished forming the hand seals and before his spiritual energy was absorbed.
However, its shape no longer resembles a fingerprint, but rather… an arrow that rolls across the sky like a flag, always pointing south!
