Sovereign to Immortality

To cultivators like the Snow Wind Sword Sect who specialized in the icy attribute, the terrain advantage of the Arctic Icecap was simply too great.    

    

Yang Junshan couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't intended to capture Senior Martial Brother Han alive, he wouldn't have wasted so much energy. He would have already lost all face as a cultivator.    

    

The snake wrench grew tighter and tighter. The protective barrier Senior Martial Brother Han had erected around his body was crushed like paper and his entire body became as immobile as a dumpling.    

    

At this moment, Yang Junshan's Spiritual Sense was acutely aware that there was something strange with the circulation of the spiritual power in Senior Brother Han's body, as if there was a hidden seal in his body that was about to be activated.    

    

Yang Junshan's face suddenly changed. He clapped his hand across the air, and a mass of magnetic light came down from his palm. A talisman made of pure spiritual power flew out of his body, and was melted by the magnetic light.    

    

Senior Martial Brother Han's expression changed and he came to a realization, "This is a magnetic ray of light. You're a cultivator of the Jade Prefecture's Heaven Shaking Sect. You're here for the Dual Polarity Origin Divine Handle!"    

    

After which, Senior Martial Brother Han added, "No, no. The Heaven Shaking Sect is no longer the number one sect in the Jade Region. You might just be someone who inherited the Heaven Shaking Sect."    

    

Yang Junshan pressed a few points on Han Li's body, and each time he pointed, there seemed to be a thin needle condensed from Imperial Qi that entered his body. The deep pain caused Han Li to involuntarily move.    

    

Yang Junshan laughed, "Fellow Han is indeed knowledgeable. As expected of the number one sect in Liangzhou, a Successor Disciple. This humble one is anxious to gain some understanding of the Northern Frozen Plains."    

    

Senior brother Han snorted coldly and said, "It's fine if you want to kill me, but if you want to find out the truth from my own mouth, that's wishful thinking."    

    

Yang Junshan smiled and said, "Fellow Han is a good man, but you know that sometimes death isn't a problem. The real problem is that life is better than death!"    

    

Senior brother Han's expression changed and he then laughed coldly, "Then I would like to learn Fellow Daoist's methods and see how you make me wish I was dead."    

    

Yang Junshan declined to comment. Instead, he asked, "Fellow, as a Successor Disciple of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, you are very knowledgeable. Have you heard of a secret technique called the Spirit Severing Needle?"    

    

Yang Junshan didn't mind when he saw the disdain on Senior Disciple Han's face. "Does Fellow Daoist still use the spirit power within your body?"    

    

He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in his body was like a river that had been cut down by a dam, and the dam that had cut off the river was not just a single one, but more or less, the meridians and blood vessels that were used to circulate spiritual energy in his body had been cut off layer by layer.    

    

Although Senior Martial Brother Han's cultivation had not been destroyed, he was no different from an ordinary mortal. In front of a cultivator like Yang Junshan, he couldn't even die if he wanted to.    

    

"Fellow Daoist Han, you should be more tactful. It's better than using all sorts of methods on you."    

    

Just when Yang Junshan was working on Senior Martial Brother Han to obtain information about the Snow Wind Sword Sect and the Arctic Icecap from him, the chaotic battle near the Ice Fox's lair gradually subsided.    

    

"Third Uncle, that, that Little Yang, Senior Yang is actually a Human Realm Cultivator …"    

    

Patriarch Ning glanced at Ning Hanwu and cut him off in a straightforward manner, "How are the casualties among the family members?"    

    

Ning Hanwu's expression was bitter, but his face was sad. He said, "Two are dead, and one is seriously injured. I'm afraid his cultivation base won't be able to handle it. The other two are lightly injured. They will recover in a year or so."    

    

Seeing that Patriarch Ning only nodded, Ning Hanwu couldn't help but say, "Third Uncle, we've killed a disciple of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, if not …"    

    

"Shut up!"    

    

The usually amiable Patriarch Ning's face was filled with a ferocious look that frightened Ning Hanwu quite a bit. He said, "When the people from the Snow Wind Sword Sect came looking for us, the Ning Family only had this road left. If it wasn't for you, Fellow Yang, our Ning Family would have been doomed to end this road, not to mention our previous encounter with wolves and ice foxes.    

    

Patriarch Ning paused before continuing, "Order it down. Today's matters are all buried in our stomachs. Otherwise, our Ning Family will be exterminated in the blink of an eye!"    

    

A moment later, a flash of light descended and Yang Junshan scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense. He already knew that the group of Snow Wind Sword Sect cultivators had all been decapitated, and he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ning Family really did have some trump cards.    

    

"Young, Senior Yang, those three Successor Disciples from the Snow Wind Sword Sect …"    

    

Yang Junshan understood the thoughts of his uncle and nephew. With a wave of his sleeve, the three heads landed on the snow. Wasn't that the three Great Perfection Cultivators from the Snow Wind Sword Sect?    

    

Patriarch Ning quickly said, "I didn't know that Fellow Daoist was actually Senior Zhenren. Our Ning Family has always been disrespectful to him. Please forgive us Fellow Daoist!"    

    

Yang Junshan smiled and said, "You are too kind, elder. Speaking of which, I hid my cultivation level, but it was not honest enough. Even if I apologize, I should apologize."    

    

"You're too courteous, too courteous!"    

    

Patriarch Ning's previous words were not without probing intent. Seeing that Yang Junshan was still as good-natured as before, he immediately felt more at ease.    

    

Yang Junshan looked at the Ning Family cultivators who were destroying the corpses of the Snow Wind Sword Sect disciples and asked, "Senior, what are your plans?"    

    

The Ning clansmen heaved a long sigh and said, "We can only leave the Arctic Mountain Range as soon as possible. Hopefully, we won't let anyone else know about what happened today. Otherwise, our Ning Clan will suffer a calamity!"    

    

Yang Junshan smiled, "No one will know. However, the previous battle might attract some people's attention. The most important thing is for you to leave the Northern Frozen Plains with the children of your family as soon as possible."    

    

Patriarch Ning nodded. "That is exactly the case. This old man is actually waiting for fellow daoists to return before bidding them farewell."    

    

With that, Patriarch Ning nodded towards Ning Hanwu. Ning Hanwu brought the storage pouches of the three late stage Martial Disciples from the Snow Wind Sword Sect over. He also brought the Aurora Stone, Frost Stone, Ice Jade and other treasures that he found in the Ice Fox's nest.    

    

Yang Junshan looked around and took out a low-rank Aurora Stone. He didn't want anything else.    

    

Patriarch Ning said anxiously, "How can we do that? If it weren't for fellow daoist, my Ning family would have been severely injured by the ice fox's attack. If fellow daoist did not take all the treasures in the nest, you should have taken at least one mid-grade Aurora Stone. Furthermore, three Pure Qi stage cultivators of the Snow Wind Sword Sect died in your hands."    

    

Yang Junshan waved his hand, and said: "Senior can just take it, honestly speaking, these things are useless in junior's hands. Moreover, I've heard a lot of news about the Ice Plains from the family head in the past few days, but these things are quite useful to junior, not to mention that it seems like the Ning family has a grudge with a powerful family, after these resources are brought back, the Ning family's strength will rise to another level in a short time."    

    

After thanking Yang Junshan, he hurriedly left with his family's cultivators. Even though none of the Snow Wind Sword Sect cultivators escaped, and no one knew it was they who did it, the Snow Wind Sword Sect was still like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of all the cultivators of the Ning Family, causing them to no longer have the mood to stay on the ice plains. Moreover, with Yang Junshan's help, they had already gained enough of an enviable harvest from this trip to the ice plains.    

    

The reason he gave the Aurora Stone to the Ning Family and even gave the storage pouches of the Snow Wind Sword Sect's cultivators to the Ning Family was not only because he wanted to befriend the Ning Family, but also because he did not want the wealth of these cultivators.    

    

Although the Yang family's foundation was shallow, his storage ring did not have that much space to store so many things. As for the seven or eight Snow Wind Sword Sect storage bags on her waist, it was like she was surrendering herself to the Snow Wind Sword Sect.    

    

As for the Aurora Stone, that was good stuff, but it was something that could be used to increase the grade of a flying magic tool. Yang Junshan's flying shuttle was only a first grade magic tool, so a single low grade Aurora Stone was enough.    

    

After seeing the people from the Ning Family had left, Yang Junshan returned to the Ice Fox's nest in the crack in the iceberg.    

    

He took out a stone bottle from his waist, opened it, and a three inch long ice silkworm crawled out of the bottle. It then started to crawl around the Ice Fox's nest.    

    

A moment later, Yang Junshan suddenly felt that the originally cold ice plains seemed to become even colder. Through Yang Junshan's Spiritual Sense, he could clearly feel wisps of cold spiritual energy coming out from the nests, which was then absorbed into the ice silkworm.    

    

This was the power of the Essence of Ice?    

    

Yang Junshan was astonished as he felt this trace of cold air. Although it was not the same as the cold source energy that Yang Junshan felt in the ice crystal jade spring, and this small amount of cold air was almost completely useless to Yang Junshan, this tiny cold air was undoubtedly the cold source energy.    

    

Could it be that the reason why the Ice Fox built its nest in this place wasn't only because it was extremely hidden, but also because of the bit of Ice Essence that dispersed here?    

    

However, Yang Junshan was more excited because of the Ice Essence. It was like he had eaten his fill and was lazily rolling around in his den with the Ice Silkworm.    

    

Could it be that this chubby little guy didn't sense the Ice Fox's nest earlier, but could sense the existence of the Ice Origin here?    

    

After putting the ice silkworm back into the stone bottle, Yang Junshan crushed the ice cliff with one palm, and the ice cave in the crack was also submerged with the scattered fragments. Looking around at the traces of a battle, Yang Junshan was about to take flight and leave.    

    

However, at this moment, light suddenly shot out from the extreme north of the ice plains, illuminating the gloomy night sky. Streaks of light extended from the depths of the ice plains like ribbons, adding a magnificent luster to the night sky.    

    

Aurora, it appeared!
