Enveloped in flames, Xue Ying flew north at top speed. Every now and then, he would look at the scenery below.
As he flew further north, the temperature started to drop rapidly. There were gradually fewer cities and villages left to be seen.
“Hu~~~”
It was white everywhere.
The vast Northern Snowy Plains appeared in his sight. In truth, the five northern provinces held these snowy plains as their border. This snowy expanse in front of him… was humongous. Spanning over fifty thousand kilometers, its inaccessibility was one reason why it was rare to find anyone within. Though, another reason might be the beasts scouring this snow-laden area.
Hong long long~~~ A herd of gigantic beasts that resembled a hill darted around in the air.
“Snowy Plains White-Haired Elephants?” Xue Ying was flying high above them. Looking downwards, that herd of gigantic beasts was over ten meters high, with four thick limbs. Their entire body was covered in thick, long fur. Even if a Silver Moon knight desperately attacked it, he would have a hard time penetrating through the thick layer of outer fur covering! Much less pierce through the thick layers of fat and skin underneath. That was why to a Silver Moon Knight, it was almost an impossibility for them to kill a Snowy Plains White-Haired Elephant.
Furthermore, these elephants loved moving in a herd! Once a huge herd of Snowy Plains White-Haired elephants charged forth as one… even a Legend-ranking knight would not dare to face it head-on. Should any human mortal army come, they would all be trampled over.
“A noteworthy feature about these Snowy Plains White-Haired Elephants is that they are docile.” Xue Ying smiled. Due to this, they could be domesticated easily.
Within the snowy plains, those beasts who were aggressive had long been exterminated by humans.
…
The further north he flew, the colder the wind bit like a dagger.
“Water Daoist Faction!” Xue Ying brightened up.
After flying for six thousand kilometers, he had finally reached his destination.
The Great Snow Plains had its own mountain range. Along these 500-kilometers long of continuous mountain range, there sat a daoist temple on one of its peaks.
Sou. Xue Ying flew like a streamer towards it, descending from the skies onto the entrance of the temple.
“Protector Dong Bo.” A heavy voice sounded.
Xue Ying looked around perplexedly.
The entire daoist temple was made from a single piece of dark gray metal. On top of the wall lay a serpentine carving. The left part depicted a bizarre flying beast, whilst the right was of a huge dragon. Right now, the origin of that voice came from the dragon sculpture, which could be seen from its moving mouth.
“Uh…” Xue Ying was stunned momentarily. This was clearly not a refiner organism. It was simply a carving.
“Haha, Protector Dong Bo.” A streamer flew out from within the temple. An unruly yet handsome man, carrying a divine sword on his back, appeared at the entrance. “Our entire Water Daoist Temple is actually a Demigod-Grade treasure! As for Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Sparrow, they are actually the spirit residing within it. They have been around ever since the start of Water Daoist Faction.”
“Greetings Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Sparrow.” Xue Ying saluted.
At the same time, he was internally shocked.
From his own understanding, under ordinary circumstances, only Deity treasures would have Deity spirits! Usually, there would be no spirits within a Demigod treasure.
As for Deity treasures, they were extremely important to the entire Xia Clan, much more than the emergence of a Deity!
That was because a newly-born Deity would not know how to refine a Deity treasure. Every single piece of Deity treasure the Xia Clan possessed had been passed down from the Deity World or from the Dark Abyss.
“Little brat, focus on cultivating. I’ll gamble with this old Dragon here that you will enter Saint Realm within 50 years.” Ancestor Sparrow said.
“Don’t give so much pressure to this young man. As long as you achieve a breakthrough within 100 years, you will be someone capable already.” Ancestor Dragon said.
“These two Ancestors, I’ll have to first bring Protector Dong Bo around. Farewell.” The handsome man butted in before bringing Xue Ying inside of the temple.
It was relatively quiet within the temple. The mountain roads were winding and snow had accumulated on the surface. Occasionally, one could see a small courtyard on the side of the road where Legend mages and knights would stay at. They would salute respectfully whenever they saw Xue Ying.
“You can call me Gong Liang Yuan. I’ve just entered the Saint Realm.” That handsome man laughed, “This Daoist Temple is a quiet and peaceful location for cultivating. The majority of people over here are Legend-rank mortals. At any one time, it would be normal for a few hundred of these Legend rankers to stay here and cultivate. Only when one feel that he could no longer improve any further would he head home.”
“As for Transcendents, those at the Saint Realm and Demigod Realm will usually stay hidden in the temple to cultivate.”
