Chapter 1009: Converse

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

In a place situated in the northern part of the continent that was covered in snow, the entire ground was currently layered with the color of silver.

This land that was in the extreme north of the continent was covered in snow throughout the year. The many tribes that lived here were subjected to the threat of hunger, cold, and illnesses all year around.

It resulted in these tribes living in the northern barrens to become used to fighting, killings, and tolerance. This was also where there were endless experts born in each generation despite not having established a truly unified and powerful country.

Right now, despite the wind and snow, the location of one of the tribes was as warm as spring. It was because all the snow that got close to the place would dissipate.

The ground the tribe was situated on was still covered in green grass, with herds of cows and sheep. It was like a completely different world from the cold world outside.

This place was where the strongest northern barbarian tribe—the Frostwolf Tribe that was said to dominate over the northern barren land—was located.

Countless warriors from the Frostwolf Tribe gathered at the center of the tribe, wearing expressions of respect and submission. They looked toward the central spot as if they were looking at the god which they revered.

At the spot where all the warriors’ gazes were gathered, a middle-aged man with silver hair was seated there casually. There was a chessboard placed in front of him, on which there were many chess pieces laid out.

Right now, the entire chessboard was covered by layers of spatial distortions, and only a person with extremely powerful vision would be able to see the chess pieces clearly. Unexpectedly, these chess pieces were all towering mountain peaks. The movement of each chess piece would result in mountains being uprooted. It could be said to be moving mountains and overturning seas.

Clearly, this chessboard had been created by someone using their power to compress space and bring in many mountains.

If one were to play chess with it, they would need to possess the power to move mountains, and their martial will must be able to pass through the stacking layers of spatial distortions.

Ulpian was seated on the opposite side of the chessboard, controlling the mountains on it while communicating with his martial will, “Brother Ye, have you made up your mind?”

The silver-haired middle-aged man looked at Ulpian with a hint of concealed surprise in his gaze.

Ulpian had suddenly appeared three days ago to look for him. After the two of them exchanged blows, he had not lost. However, he could tell that Ulpian definitely had not unleashed his full powers then.

The martial arts that Ulpian utilized were unique and novel, as well as different from any sect’s or faction’s martial arts. Yet they were deep and unfathomable, possessing streams of unbelievable abilities.

They spent the next three days discussing about Dao, yet till today, he still had not found any flaws in Ulpian.

In these three days, Ulpian had stopped him here, preventing him from making a move on the Imperial Capital that was several ten thousand lis away.

He had promised a person that he would not leave the northern barrens in his entire lifetime. However, given his current strength, he would still be able to make a move on a place that was several ten thousand lis away as if it were right within his reach.

Rather than Ulpian’s strength, realm, and martial arts, what surprised Ye Jing even more was Ulpian’s identity.

‘Came from another universe… the Commander of the Silver Army?’

Ye Jing shook his head. “It’s too risky.”

Ulpian continued, “Brother Ye, with your aptitude, taking that one step forward is just a matter of time. However, even if you were to have a battle prowess of tier nine of the Divine level, you still won’t be able to change the trend of the entire multivariate universe.
