Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 501 – Snow Region

However, it was not easy for the Frozen Snow Region of Ice and Snow that was formed by the Ice Crystal Jade Spring that Yang Junshan was looking for. The miasma that was deep within the mountain not only obstructed the vision of the cultivators, but also caused chronic damage to their spiritual consciousness. Aesult, it was usually a large mountain that stood several kilometers away that the cultivators could not see, due to the separation of their line of sight.

When Yang Junshan was saying his goodbyes to the group of Macaque, he had casually asked if there were any nearby places that were suddenly covered by snow. He never thought that there would actually be a Macaque that had seen that place, and the one that had seen the Snow Region of Ice and Snow was precisely Ba Xin.

After receiving the Macaque’s guidance, Yang Junshan headed westward after leaving the valley. He climbed uall mountain and looked in the direction of the valley, only to discover that it was shrouded in clouds and there were no clues to be seen. In the end, Yang Junshan also could not find the inheritance of the formation set up by the monkey demon cultivators within the valley.

According to Bazin, after crossing this mountain, he would pass through a coniferous forest and reach the edge of a mountain stream. After crossing a mountain stream, he would arrive at a grassy area, and the slope behind the meadow would be completely covered in frost. In the past, there were many fruit trees on the hillside, which was Bazin’s favorite place.

It had to be said that after the Macaquad their own cultivation bases, they, who were originally intelligent, became even more intelligent. At the very least, during the exchange, they were able to understand a rather complicated language.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Yang Junshan looked in the direction that Ba Xin had told him. According to Ba Xin’s estimation, the distance from there to there should only be around five kilometers, but his line of sight was blocked by the miasma. At the very most, he could only see the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Just as Yang Junshan reached the forest at the foot of the mountain, he discovered the traces of other people. He tapped on the tree trunk around him and slowly ascended to the top of the tree.

“Why haven’t we found the Frostsnow Region yet? Did we go in the wrong direction?”

“No, the people who discovered the Snow Region of Ice and Snow were nearby. The strong wind blew away the miasma in the vicinity, which was why we were lucky enough to let the people who entered the mountain discover the phenomenon of the Snow Region of Ice and Snow. This place is shrouded in miasma and cannot be too far away.

“So what if we find them? I heard that there are Adept Realm Cultivator s who have joined in the search for the cultivators in the Snow Region of Ice and Snow. With them here, don’t tell me they still have a chance for us to soak in Ice Crystal Jade Spring?”

“That’s right. It is said that the Spirit Master Jing Chen from the Mystical Scale Sect had already rushed over as soon as he received the news. However, by this time, the news had already spread and it is said that even the Spirit Master from the Snow Wind Sword Sect had been alerted.”

“Are all the people in the Snow Wind Sword Sect a dog? This news is too fast. No matter what, the Southern Viewing County is the territory of the Black Scale Sect. How did they barge in so brazenly?”

“Snow Wind Sword Sect, humph, there is nothing in Liang Zhou that they don’t interfere in!”

“Silent, why are you saying all this? We can talk about it later when someone among you has advanced to the realms of life!”

He could only hear him say, “We are not looking for the Snow Region of Ice and Snow for the sake of the Ice Crystal Jade Spring. Even if we find that thing, you can jump in if you’re alive, or if you’re not, but the Ice Crystal Jade Spring is not the only one in the Snow Region of Ice and Snow. The Snow Region of Ice and Snow can also produce other rare treasures, so it’s enough as long as we can find one or two of them.”

“Boss Gao is right. Let’s hurry up and leave. This place is filled with miasma. A Superior Grade Miasma repelling pill can only last for four to six hours. It’s more important to hurry!”

Yang Junshan floated down from the tree, and upon hearing the words of the Liang Zhou cultivators, he became deep in thought. Previously, when he had entered the Liang Zhou, he had met at least three Spiritual Masters, but he had been delayed in the Macaque Valley for more than half a day, so he did not know how many Spiritual Masters he had found in the Coldjade mountain range, but these Liang Zhou cultivators had been following him all the way to the south, and the direction they were heading towards was clearly different from the direction that Macaque Bazin had pointed out.

No matter what, he had to try and fight for the Ice Crystal Jade Spring. When Yang Junshan was trying to advance into the realms of life, he was still a little rushed, although he had accumulated enough, but the final stage of breaking through was not a gradual and natural step, but a forceful advancement. This way, his cultivation would have some flaws, especially after advancing into the realms of life, he would have to spend a long period of time to break through the bottleneck.

The Ice Crystal Jade Spring, on the other hand, was able to remove the last flaw in Yang Junshan’s meaning.

After Yang Junshan went westward through the forest at the bottom of the mountain, he quickly heard the sound of flowing water. However, just as Yang Junshan was about to reach the edge of the stream, he suddenly stopped, and looked towards his left front.

“Fellow Daoist, you seem to be very nervous. May I ask if you came from outside of the Pure County?”

A figure had appeared at some unknown time under a large tree several tens of meters away from Yang Junshan. However, even though this person was cautious, he did not express any hostility towards Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded his head, but he did not say anything.

The man looked to be about thirty years of age and had an ordinary appearance. Seeing that, he knew that Yang Junshan was somewhat wary of him, so he laughed: “Don’t be nervous, fellow, I think you are here for the Ice Crystal Jade Spring, now that the Jade Spring has not been revealed, there is no need for you to be hostile.”

Yang Junshan nodded his head, but he would not relax in the slightest.

Since this is the case, then I shall take my leave. However, since fate has brought us together, I may as well inform my fellow friend that from what I know, the Frozen Snow Region of Flowing Water should have appeared upstream of the creek. ”

After he finished speaking, he hid himself behind a tree, his Qi quickly distancing himself from the tree and through his Spiritual Sense, he realized that he was indeed thinking about the upstream of the small stream, and the upstream of the creek was also headed towards the south. Although it was slightly to the west, it was more or less the same as the five or six martial arts realm cultivators he met before in the forest.

Meeting two groups of people consecutively headed south, yet the direction that Ba Xin was telling him to head west, made Yang Junshan unavoidably doubt in his heart. Could it be that Ba Xin was talking about the wrong place?

However, Yang Junshan himself knew that the range of the Snow Region of Ice and Snow would actually change. Especially when a cultivator entered the Ice Crystal Jade Spring, the range of the Snow Region of Ice and Snow would shrink and the originally shrouded area would recover as well. When the Ice Crystal Jade Spring was exhausted, the Snow Region of Ice and Snow would also disappear.

Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still chose to believe in Ba Xin. After passing through the small stream, the forest indeed became more sparse, but the surface of the trees was covered withick layer of grass, and as Yang Junshan continued westward, the ground began to gradually rise as well. And what made Yang Junshan even happier, was that he could feel his surroundings growing colder and colder, and even the cold wind that blew past him had traces of coldness on it.

Yang Junshan quickly passed through this patch of grass. The slope mentioned by Ba Xin had already appeared before his eyes, and there were indeed quite a few trees with fruits hanging on them. However, the slope mentioned by Ba Xin was already covered in snow, so he did not see any.

Yang Junshan’s heart sank. He believed that it was impossible for Ba Xin to be lying, so there was only one possibility, and that was that the coverage around the Snow Region of Ice and Snow had started to shrink. In other words, someone had already found the Ice Crystal Jade Spring and soaked it within.

Yang Junshan quickly entered the forest and casually plucked a fruit from a tree. He discovered that the pulp of the fruit was still extremely cold and hard.

Not long after the Snow Region of Ice and Snow disappeared, Yang Junshan made up his mind. At this time, he recalled the two groups of cultivators he had met earlier that were heading south, and without a word, he rushed towards the southwest.

After passing through the fruit forest, Yang Junshan realized that the cold aura coming at him was even more intense, and thought that he had indeed chased in the right direction. Not caring about the fact that the Quintessential Essence in his body was being consumed, he retreated an inch, and in less than a cup of tea’s worth of time, he discovered that everything in front of him was white and boundless.

Yang Junshan was overjoyed as he quickly fled into this snowy region. Only then did he realize that the numerous mountain peaks and valleys in front of him were all covered in ice and frost, and the even higher mountain peaks that were faintly discernible in the distance were not even covered by ice and snow.

However, it was clear that the area around the Snow Region of Ice and Snow was extremely vast and the terrain was extremely complex as well. It would not be easy to find the Ice Crystal Jade Spring.

Yang Junshan first chose the mountain peak closest to him that was covered in snow. After coming up, he surveyed his surroundings, and realized that the snowy line from before had actually shrunk back several tens of meters.

Yang Junshan’s heart became even more anxious. Just as he was hesitating on which direction he should go in, he suddenly realised that there was an extremely hidden ray of light that suddenly flashed behind a mountain in the south from the west. Yang Junshan’s mind stirred, he immediately released his flying shuttle and flew towards that mountain.

Just as the light disappeared from the mountain, there was suddenly an intense fluctuation of spiritual energy. Yang Junshan was startled, and immediately became alert, followed by a loud sound from behind the mountain. At the same time, an angry shout came out: “Zhang Mo Feng, this is the Pure County, not your Snow Wind Sword Sect!”

A sneer came over, “So what?”

At that moment, another voice sounded out. “Fellow Zhang, I do not care what grudge you have with Fellow Huo, but with Ice Crystal Jade Spring here, if you two insist on fighting, you will definitely destroy this spring, so don’t blame me for being rude!”

At this moment, a fourth voice sounded out, “Haha, everyone. Senior brother Pure Dust is right, bathing in the Ice Spring is more important, soaking in the Ice Spring is more important!”

Seemingly feeling that he was about to incur the wrath of the masses, the voice of the sneer from before sounded out again: “Alright, Liu, this time I will let you go, when the Ice Crystal Jade Spring disappears, I will definitely let you have a look at my Snow Wind Sword Sect’s methods!”

At this time, Yang Junshan’s figure flew over from the front of the mountain and in an instant, four streams of realms of life’s consciousness landed on his body.
