Chapter 1036 – Ice Mountain

The bone-piercing cold wind, the cloudy sky, and the flashing lightning made him look like a naughty spirit imprisoned within.

In the distance, there waowering mountain of ice that could not be seen clearly due to the fog. It seemed like a giant wearing white clothes was standing in the sea, the sea water covered his legs, and the dark clouds had hidden his head.

“So, the deepest part of this glacier area is where the storm gorge is located?” Yang Junshan asked the Taoist Jiangxin beside him.

Taoist Jiangxin nodded. “That’s right, this place is shrouded by dark clouds all year round, and even if there was a fierce storm all year round, the clouds in the sky have never been blown away.”

Looking at Yang Junshan with a nod of his head, the Taoist Jiangxin continued, “This so called storm gorge, is not only a windstorm, buhunderstorm as well. This is an extremely bizarre place overseas, so you don’t have to worry about Lightning Calamity coming here, even if you enter during the times when the thunderstorm is weakened, the top cultivators of the Huagai’s field would probably be trembling in fear.

Yang Junshan said: “Did Senior Dongliu ask you to pass these down to me?”

The Taoist Jiangxin made a sound of “uh” and said, “Yes, the Dao Realm experts from various powers that are participating in the battle for the boat this time are all under the Lightning Calamity. The ancestor said that the storm gorge is actually equivalent to a semi-broken space plane that is connected to the cultivation world. The danger does not only originate from the raging storms and thunderstorms, there are also spatial distortions and even spatial storms.

Yang Junshan looked at his hands, and self-deprecatingly said: “Looks like the news of a spatial treasure in my possession, is not really a secret among the various forces!”

The Taoist Jiangxin laughed: “An important symbol of a Dao Realm existence is a spatial ability, or more accurately speaking, it should be considered a type of domain. The power of the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers may not be the strongest when used, but it can still create its own domain.

“Just based on the power alone, the powers ranked in the top ten on the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking are probably even more powerful than the twenty or thirty Dao Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking, or even the top twenty Precious Techniques and Divine Powers s. So what if these powers have yet to form their own spatial domain, in the midst of a true battle, Dao Realm cultivators would always be able to use spatial abilities to easily break free, so when has a clash of Dao Techniques and Divine Powers not started from the mutual erosion of space, causing space to distort, and even shattering space itself? Which Taoist would dare to open the spatial gate at this time without being able to leave the range of the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers, this is equivalent to seeking death.”

The artifact spirit in his hands, “Yin Kong”, had experienced numerous great battles, and was nourished by his nine man true energy, his spirit had repeatedly risen. Now, it had finally reached the level of a high-grade Treasure, becoming compatible with the body of the “Yin Kong” treasure.

At this time, Taoist Jiangxin’s tone immediately took a turn for the better, and said: “Of course, if there is a space treasure specialized for the power of space, then it would be different. The space fluctuation caused by the collision of the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers, can be easily wiped out under the suppression of the space treasure.

Speaking to this point, the Taoist Jiangxin was obviously still unsatisfied, “Furthermore, Brother Yang, what you are being valued for is not just a spatial treasure, the sacred art you are cultivating also has extremely strong spatial suppressing powers. In fact, not only you, Brother Yang, but most of the earth attribute sacred arts also have this characteristic of spatial suppressing power.

Yang Junshan nodded, and said: “So that’s how it is, Brother Jiang, however, solved the puzzlement in my heart.”

Seeing this, Taoist Jiangxin muttered: “Then, Brother Yang, are you still unwilling to go with the few Daoists from our sect?”

Yang Junshan laughed and shook his head, then said: “It’s better to work together after finding a fixed sea boat, I do not want to attract attention yet.”

“This, alright!”

Taoist Jiangxin said helplessly, “Brother Yang, please be careful. According to the sect’s knowledge, not only the four major sects from overseas have received the news, even the people from Dragon Island have received it. Rumor has it that the Horned Demon King seems to attach great importance to the boat, and some old monsters from the cultivation world have also heard the news and have come.

After bidding his farewells to the Taoist Jiangxin, Yang Junshan stuck close to the surface of the sea and flew toward the depths of this sea of glaciers.

Of course, these were not any problems for Yang Junshan, the real problem was that he would occasionally encounter spatial cracks or fragments during the course of the sea’s glaciers. These were not something that could be compared to the cold, blade-like winds, but rather, they could easily break through Yang Junshan’s protective cloud. However, with Yang Junshan’s sharp senses, in the vast majority of the situations, these distorted spatial spaces were already discovered and dodged by before he even bumped into them.

Aside from the spatial trap that was hidden in the void, the glacier and the cold sea also contained unimaginable dangers.

Just as Yang Junshan controlled his light to fly past an ice mountain, a white cold Qi suddenly rushed up from the bottom of his feet. The surrounding green clouds were being washed away by the cold Qi, unexpectedly showing signs of freezing up.

At the same time, the ice mountain beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and a crystal clear huge snake rushed up from within the ice mountain, its forked tongue breaking through Yang Junshan’s protective cloud, at the same time opening its mouth wide and swallowing Yang Junshan whole.

Yang Junshan let out a cold snort. Both his hands suddenly shook outwards, and a strange spatial fluctuation appeared around him. The originally cold air instantly collapsed in midair.

The giant ice serpent instinctively sensed the danger and no longer opened its mouth to swallow Yang Junshan. It madurn in the air and was about to smash its head into the sea.

How could Yang Junshan let it do as it wished? He pinched the air with his thumb and forefinger, and the giant ice crystal snake that was about to dive into the ocean trembled, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand by seven inches. No matter how its gigantic body struggled, it was unable to break free from Yang Junshan’s grasp.

Yang Junshan stretched out his hand and pointed, causing the huge snake to immediately stop moving. He looked at the huge ice serpent with interest, and actually felt the faint aura of a bloodline from its body.

The giant serpent had not yet awakened its intelligence to train to become a demon, and it was still a type of Sea Beast. However, the bloodline aura on its body made Yang Junshan believe that if the serpent had cultivated to a fortunate state, it would definitely become an outstanding individual in the Demon Clan. Unfortunately, it did not have the chance to do so anymore.

Sucuge snake would naturally be of no use in Yang Junshan’s eyes, but the materials needed to create a body full of spasming muscles and bones were still worth a lot to low leveled Madame Yang cultivators. Especially that Ice Crystal Snake Bile, which looked like a snow lotus, or at least a high quality immortal spirit.

As Yang Junshan went deeper and deeper, more and more spatial cracks appeared within the storm gorge, and from the ice mountains, the ocean, and even the various strange beasts that suddenly rushed out from the clouds in the sky became more and more powerful. Even Yang Junshan was extremely shocked when he used some of the beasts’ innate abilities.

After that, in the midst of the clouds, a lightning light as thick as a bucket was suddenly attracted by it. After that, with it as a medium, the lightning light in the air twisted and actually struck towards the top of Yang Junshan’s head. And under such a strong lightning wave, not only was the Black Feathered Flying Bird completely fine, its speed was even increased, and like an arrow that had been shot by the lightning, it clawed at Yang Junshan’s head with its claws.

What kind of spirit creature was this?

Yang Junshan formed a seal with his hands, causing a small mountain to condense above his head.

That spirit bird obviously had the least bit of intelligence, and upon seeing that the lightning could not hurt Yang Junshan, it turned its body in the air agilely, as if it was flying back to the clouds in the sky.

However, Yang Junshan’s interest towards the spirit beast that could receive the lightning aura had greatly increased, how could he let it escape as it pleased? As the small mountain above his head suddenly crumbled into yellow light, the surrounding space had suddenly been sealed, and even though the spirit bird was flapping its wings furiously in the air, it could only stay still and not move an inch.

Yang Junshan flew into the air and arrived in front of the Spiritual Beast. The Spiritual Beast was obviously shocked, as it let out a sharp cry, and streaks of lightning danced about in its feathers. Afterwards, they congregated into a finger-thick lightning that shot straight at Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan laughed, opened his mouth and blew out a breath, instantly dispersing the lightning in the air.

The spirit bird was still struggling, but Yang Junshan had already grabbed onto its wings, the numbness in its hands made Yang Junshan frown, but with Yang Junshan’s tyrannical body, the lightning that flashed past the spirit bird’s body was useless against him.

“However, this Spiritual Beast is indeed interesting!”

Yang Junshan rubbed his chin, his heart raced for an unknown amount of years. He reached out and flicked the top of the spirit bird’s head, instantly sending it flying. Then, he took out a spirit beast bag from his storage ring, placed the spirit bird inside, and tied it to his waist.
