"Two years? Sacrificial Ceremony? Ice God Palace? "Zhong Shan gasped.
"Don't the crystallizers know why and who to sacrifice?" Zhong Shan asked again.
"The crystallizer warrior just became an elder and hasn't experienced it yet. The other crystallizers don't even have the right to know!" Yi Yan shook his head.
"Once every ten thousand years? The Ice God Palace's Sacrificial Ceremony actually invites the crystallizers. Looks like it's not normal! "Zhong Shan pondered.
"Yes, not only the crystallizers, but also the Black Tortoise Race from the North Continent. They also invite some strong people from all over the world," Yi Yan said.
"Yes, I've heard about the Black Tortoise Race from the North Continent. The Black Tortoise Race is located in the North Continent, but they keep a very low profile. They hide in the extreme north, and like the crystallizers, they are very xenophobic. Did you find out about the situation in the north from the crystallizers? "Zhong Shan asked.
"A little. In the extreme north, there are only three major forces: the crystallizers, the Black Tortoise Race, and the Ice God Palace!" Yi Yan said.
"Yes!" Zhong Shan motioned for Yi Yan to continue.
"There are four Sky Pillars there! They are indomitable. The Holy King must have heard of them, right? "Yi Yan said.
"I've heard that the four Sky Pillars are located at the edge of the sky. Do you know their origin?" Zhong Shan asked.
"No, I've sent scouts there, but they couldn't find anything in the extreme north. They only know that they suddenly appeared around a million years ago. As for their origin, it seems to have been erased by someone. None of the major sects know. "Yi Yan shook his head.
"A million years ago?" Zhong Shan pondered.
The four Sky Pillars that appeared a million years ago? Who would deliberately hide it?
"However, I've heard of a legend among the mortals. It's a legend of our Wind Tomb territory, but it's not very credible!" Yi Yan said.
"Oh? There are no legends in the north, but we have legends here? "
"That's right. That's because according to legend, those four pillars were created by Her Highness Nüwa."
"Go on."
"Rumor has it that there used to be the tallest mountain in the world in the Northern Continent, Mount Buzhou. Later, it collapsed due to the battle between Gonggong and Zhurong. Mount Buzhou was connected to the heavens and the earth. After it collapsed, the heavens fell and the earth cracked, the mountains and rivers shattered, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering. For the sake of the people in the world, Empress Nüwa forged the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and refined five-colored divine stones to mend the heavens. In the end, he even chopped off a divine turtle's four legs to prop up the mended sky. And the four pillars are the four legs of the divine turtle. "Yi Yan explained.
"The four-legged divine turtle?" Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes.
"How can there be such a powerful Black Tortoise? Moreover, the Heavenly Dao would mend the broken Heaven and Earth. Why would there be a need to mend the Heavens? Maybe it's just a legend! "Yi Yan said with a smile.
Zhong Shan, on the other hand, shook his head because this story seemed familiar. Right, Earth. Zhong Shan had also heard this story on Earth, and it was exactly the same. Nüwa mended the sky? Broken turtle's four legs propped up the four poles? Quelling floods, killing beasts, and benefiting the human race?
If it was only passed down in the Wind Tomb territory, it might be a beautiful wish of the people, but why was Earth also a legend?
"Holy King, do you think it's true?" Yi Yan was slightly surprised. That was obviously unrealistic.
"It might be true. Why did the Black Tortoise race guard that place for generations? The four pillars must be related to the Black Tortoise race. Maybe it's also related to why the Crystallizers don't appear. It seems that I have to go to the north again! "Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"Holy King, the Ice God Palace's sacrifice might not be the Empress. The Holy King can send someone else. It's not advisable to put yourself in danger," Yi Yan said.
Shaking his head, Zhong Shan said, "The Ice God Palace is in the North Continent. Speaking of which, I should've gone there long ago, but I've been busy with government affairs. Back then, I handed Qingsi to the Ice God Palace, so naturally, I'll bring her back. You don't have to persuade me. Since the Ice God Palace is in the North Continent, it's not very far. I'll definitely be able to get there in a year."
"Yes!" Yi Yan nodded.
Since the Holy King had made up his mind, there was no point in persuading him.
"Mr. Shi is still in seclusion?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Mr. Shi is still in seclusion and might not be able to go with the Holy King. Wang Bei has also returned to the Skeleton Border," Yi Yan said immediately.
Zhong Shan's meaning was clear. Since they were ready to go to the North, what they had to do immediately was to appoint people.
Almost every time Zhong Shan went out, Mr. Shi would follow him. This time, it was a pity.
"Yes, it's okay." Zhong Shan nodded.
"What about the crystallizers in prison?" Yi Yan asked.
"Let's keep them locked up for now! You should know what to do, "Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!"
After Yi Yan left, Zhong Shan summoned another person.
It was a young man in white. He had an arrogant look on his face, but when he saw Zhong Shan, he was extremely respectful.
"Your servant, Turtle Snake, greets the Holy King!" The young man said respectfully.
The young man was Turtle Snake, the young master of the Black Tortoise Tribe in the Minor World. During the battle between the Realm of Immortals and the Daikon State, he led a large number of Black Tortoise Tribe rebels and abandoned the Realm of Immortals to join the Daikon State.
Sure enough, everything did not disappoint Turtle Snake. The Daikon State's development was too fierce. The Realm of Immortals, the Taisui Celestial Dynasty, and even the Greater World's many Holy Courts could not stop the Daikon State's footsteps. The Netherworld's development was even more rapid.
Not long ago, Turtle Snake saw a large number of officials brought in by the Daikon State. Turtle Snake felt like he was dreaming.
When the sky was opened, there were no great immortals, and the Daikon State became the weakest Holy Court in history. Now, there were dozens of Zu Xian, and Zhong Shan also valued some of the senior figures. For example, Turtle Snake's power in the Daikon State had never disappeared. Even if he did not make any great achievements, he still had a lot of power in his hands. As for the Black Tortoise Tribe, Zhong Shan trusted him and let him take care of it alone without interfering.
How could Turtle Snake not be loyal to such a Holy King?
"Yes, Turtle Snake, your cultivation has improved a lot in these years!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Although I have worked hard, I am still far from the Holy King and the famous generals of the Daikon State. I have only just reached Gu Xian's level!" Turtle Snake said with a little shame.
In the Lesser Chiliocosm, the Black Tortoise Tribe had great power and was of great help to the Daikon State. However, in the Greater Chiliocosm, they were of little help. Gu Xian of the Black Tortoise Tribe only had himself. If not for the Holy King's old friendship, his power would have been taken over by countless rising stars.
"Sometimes, cultivating alone is not the best way. Go out at the right time, and you may encounter unexpected opportunities!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, I will remember. Thank you, Holy King, for your guidance!" Turtle Snake said immediately.
"The Daikon State's godly beasts are wolves, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and turtles. Your tribe and the tiger tribe are not developing fast! "Zhong Shan said plainly.
The wolves had the Immortal Emperor Xian, who had subdued countless wolf tribes.
The dragons had Little Gold, who had gathered countless dragon tribes.
The phoenixes had Little Red and Little Vermillion Bird, who had come to protect them. Naturally, they were also very strong.
Only the Black Tortoise Tribe and the tiger tribe had not developed greatly.
"I will work hard!" Turtle Snake thought that Zhong Shan was blaming him, and immediately said.
"Keh, you don't have to be nervous. I'm not blaming you. I'm just helping you analyze why your tribe is not developing fast enough." Zhong Shan asked.
"Because in the Northern Continent, there is an even stronger Black Tortoise Tribe. The Black Tortoise Tribe of the Extreme North! The Black Tortoise Tribe of the Northern Continent is arrogant and unruly, and is unwilling to join any other tribe. If anyone is willing to join, they would choose the Black Tortoise Tribe of the Extreme North! "Turtle Snake sighed.
"Are you dissatisfied?" Zhong Shan asked with a smile.
"Even if I'm dissatisfied, there's nothing I can do. I can only work hard to strengthen myself. When my strength surpasses that of the Black Tortoise Tribe of the Black Heaven Sect, then I will be qualified to fight against them!" Turtle Snake said.
"I remember that your bloodline is the same as Xian Xian's. It's also very high level, right?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes. Although I do not have the highest level of Black Tortoise bloodline, my bloodline is extremely pure, and belongs to the second generation bloodline." Turtle Snake affirmed.
"Second generation bloodline?"
"Yes. Other than the ancestor of the Black Tortoise, my bloodline is of the highest level." Turtle Snake affirmed.
"Very well. Go and prepare. In three days, follow me to the North." Zhong Shan nodded.
"North?" Turtle Snake's eyes lit up.
"What kind of person is the Black Heaven Sect? We will have to meet him eventually. Go! "Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Turtle Snake was slightly excited.
Turtle Snake vaguely guessed something, so he trembled slightly with excitement. However, he still left politely.
After Turtle Snake left, Zhong Shan grabbed a brush and started writing on a piece of paper.
"Turtle Snake, Golden Roc, Blade Killer, Luo Xingchen, Youshan, Youshui, Youquan, Ziyang Jinghong, Youlan, Nangong Sheng!"
He wrote ten names in a row.
"Is this the list of people you want to go to the Extreme North?" A female voice suddenly sounded.
"Huan Ji? Didn't you go with Kui Er, Ling'Er, Youyou, and Hao Meili to subdue the dragons? Why are you back? "Zhong Shan was surprised.
Ever since Hao Meili subdued the dragons of the netherworld, the Queens had nothing to do and agreed to help. The strength of this army of women was immense. Wherever they went, not even a blade of grass would grow. After all, none of Zhong Shan's Queens were simple characters. Moreover, Zhong Shan had arranged for a large number of Zu Xian to accompany them. Moreover, they were near the Daikon State. There was no problem at all.
In fact, Emperor Immortal Immortal had even become a guide because he had cleared out the wolf tribe before. Moreover, he was having a lot of 'fun'.
"Big Sister Kui Er asked me to come back." Huan Ji said, blushing slightly.
"Kui Er?" Zhong Shan was slightly surprised.
Then, Zhong Shan smiled bitterly. He understood what Kui Er meant.
"I vaguely remember that I came from the Extreme North. Back then, I was also called the root of all evil in the Extreme North. Perhaps I can help you there. I'll go with you!" Huan Ji said.
"Mm, okay. We'll leave in three days!" Zhong Shan agreed immediately.
Extreme North? Zhong Shan was even more curious. Crystal tribe, Black Tortoise tribe, Ice God Palace? And Huan Ji also came from the Extreme North? What secrets were there?
Zhong Shan had a feeling that this trip to the Extreme North might be the key to Daikon State's domination of the Northern Continent. Therefore, Zhong Shan chose a group of experts very carefully this time.
Three days later, in the evening.
In front of the Heavenly Fate Pavilion, Tortoise Snake, Golden Roc, Blade Killer, Luo Xingchen, Youshan, Youshui, Youquan, Ziyang Jinghong, Youlan, Nangong Sheng, and Huan Ji were already in position.
"Xuan Er, when Ziyang Jinghong is not here, pay more attention to the yang realm. Especially Peak Under the Heavens!" Zhong Shan said seriously to Zhong Xuan.
"Yes, I will not let you down!" Zhong Xuan said immediately.
"Mm!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Turning to the crowd, Zhong Shan said, "Alright, let's go!"
"Yes!" The officials answered.
Then, a group of 12 people took to the sky and flew quickly towards the North. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
