The vast and boundless North Pole and those bleak and desolate lands were like a storehouse of ice and snow. The ice that had accumulated over thousands of winters was like layers of towering peaks, smooth and sparkling. It surrounded the North Pole and gathered the increasing coldness in one place.
This was the true scenery of the North. It was much more desolate than one could imagine.
He Yiming rode his white horse and carried his Baozhu as he slowly followed behind the two Ninth Heaven experts. Behind them, two inhuman and powerful humanoid weapons were slowly flying in the air.
To them, the coldness of the North Borderline did not affect them at all.
After leaving the Heavenly Lake's main peak, He Yiming and the rest headed straight for the North. On this journey, the further north they went, the more desolate it became.
Describing the North Borderline as uninhabited within a thousand miles was definitely the most appropriate way to describe it.
Apart from those fixed settlements, they couldn't see anyone else at all.
At the border between the Great Shen and the Northwest, there were many lawless areas. But even there, there were at least bandits and merchant caravans. Furthermore, they could see human villages at most a hundred miles away.
But the North Borderline was different. The scale of human settlements was not small. But apart from these settlements, there were no other scattered settlements.
In such an extremely harsh environment, humans could only live peacefully by huddling together. Of course, for those above the Xiantian level, they would not care about such weather. He Yiming and the rest were even less likely to be affected by it.
When they first entered this world of ice and snow, He Yiming was still very curious.
But after walking for a few days, he could not help but feel a little impatient.
For this trip to the North Borderline, only Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu were traveling with him. The three of them, together with the White Horse Lightning, were the top existences in the world. Even the two inhuman fellows behind them were not to be trifled with.
According to He Yiming's idea, they could reach the North Borderline Ice Palace in the shortest time possible. However, Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu seemed to have other ideas. They seemed to be stalling for time. Their speed was so slow that it made one's hair stand on end.
Sakyamuni, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped. He squatted down and gently touched the hard ground with his hand.
He Yiming was surprised. Although he was very critical of this powerhouse's speed, he did not think that he was trying to stall for time.
Sure enough, after Sakyamuni stood up, a grave look could be seen on his face. "The North Borderline's spirit beasts are already here. They're really fast."
Gimo Fanshu chuckled. "The faster they expand, the more it means that the Ice Island is about to appear. Hehe … I'm really looking forward to it."
He Yiming furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Emperor Brother, did you find traces of the North Borderline's spirit beasts?"
Sakyamuni nodded. "This time, the North Borderline's spirit beasts are expanding much faster than we expected. Perhaps the Ice Island will appear earlier."
He Yiming rolled his eyes and asked, "Can these monsters predict when the Ice Island will appear?"
Sakyamuni clapped his hands and laughed. "Even Elder Godly Mathematician, who's the world's greatest fortune teller, couldn't predict the time, so how can they know? Nevertheless, these monsters have an instinct. The closer the Ice Island appears, the more agitated they'll be, and the more likely they'll go on a rampage. " He paused for a while before he asked, "Brother Ji Mo, your research on spirit beasts is far above mine, so please explain."
Gimo Fanshu was expressionless. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he still answered calmly, "The North Borderline's territory is so vast that it's even bigger than the South Borderline. The Ice Sea is so vast that it's almost as big as the Outer Sea. Moreover, the environment here isn't suitable for humans to live in. Instead, it's suitable for cold-attribute monsters and spirit beasts. Therefore, the North Borderline is the only place in the world where humans can't gain an advantage against monsters and spirit beasts. "
He Yiming gasped. He did not know much about the North Borderline's Ice Palace, but he knew that it was definitely a super powerful sect since it could coexist with the Spirit's Golden Palace, the Grotto-heaven's blessed land, the Heavenly Lake's lineage in the northwest, and the Colored Glaze Island in the south. However, it was hard to imagine that the humans in the North Borderline couldn't suppress the spirit beasts and monsters under the watch of that sect.
As if he saw He Yiming's hesitation, Gimo Fanshu smiled coldly and said, "Brother He, I heard that you once met a Beastmaster from the Outer Sea in the South Borderline."
He Yiming nodded slightly. In fact, he had encountered more than one Saint Beast King from the outer sea. Instead, he had encountered two of them. However, He Yiming had killed one of them on the spot under the attack of the Blood Condensation Divine Path. The other one was obedient and told him about the Outer Sea God's Island, so he let it go.
Gimo Fanshu drew a circle in the air with his hand and said, "In the past, when I first formed the Ninth Heaven, I went to the Outer Sea alone on a whim. I wanted to see what the Outer Sea in the legends of the Divine Path looked like."
He Yiming was startled and couldn't help but have a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He had also been to the Outer Sea and fought against two Beastmaster, so he clearly knew how dangerous the Outer Sea was. The Inner Sea couldn't compare to it at all.
In the Divine Path Era, there was a saying that only those of the Divine Path could run amok in the Outer Sea.
This was because most of the Divine Beasts in this world lived in the Outer Sea. Therefore, if one entered the Outer Sea without a cultivation of the Divine Path and met a Divine Beast, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Although the Divine Path Era had disappeared, there were still many top Beastmaster from the Outer Sea.
These Beastmaster from the Outer Sea were extremely powerful. Their might couldn't be compared to the Beastmaster from the Inner Sea. Perhaps only the top Divine Beasts with the bloodline of Divine Beasts could contend against them.
Even an expert at the peak of the Human Path might not be able to defeat these Beastmaster from the Outer Sea in a special environment like the Outer Sea.
Ji Mo Fanshu, on the other hand, had ventured into the outer seas as soon as he'd achieved great success in his martial dao. His boldness and daring was one of the best even among the current peak human dao cultivators.
"The Outer Sea is so vast that it's not something that humans can imagine." Gimo Fanshu's voice had a rare sigh, as if he was recalling the feelings of wandering in the Outer Sea in the past. "However, it's also because of its boundless vastness that so many Beastmaster were born. These Beastmaster grew up in the Outer Sea. The living environment and pressure there are far beyond the imagination of the Inner Sea and the Continent. Every Beastmaster from the Outer Sea rules over a vast sea. They are extremely powerful. I have fought with different Beastmaster from the Outer Sea many times, but I couldn't kill one. "
He Yiming opened his mouth and asked, "Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, how many Beastmaster are there in the Outer Sea?"
"I don't know." Gimo Fanshu smiled bitterly. "There are as many Beastmaster from the Outer Sea as there are in the Outer Sea. Although each Beastmaster rules over a different area of the sea, their strength is about the same." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "In fact, these Beastmaster are very smart. The area of the sea they rule over is related to the speed at which they swim. If it's a slower Outer Sea Beastmaster, the area of the sea it rules over will be much smaller than its neighbors. Even if it's the well-deserved boss in this sea, it's no exception. "
He Yiming nodded slowly. He vaguely understood how the Outer Sea Saint Beasts lived.
The size of the territory was not related to strength, but to the speed at which the Saint Beasts swam. No one could have guessed this before it was made clear.
Gimo Fanshu changed the topic. "The Outer Sea is far larger than the Continent of the Mortal Realm. If all the Outer Sea Saint Beasts and monsters can live on land, then we humans may not be the masters of this land."
He Yiming's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he also sighed.
There were definitely more creatures in the sea than on land. This was not only because of the size of the land, but more importantly, on the Continent, other than birds, there was only one layer of land that could support human survival. But it was different in the sea. The same place could accommodate countless fish.
This was the characteristic of the sea. A cubic world could accommodate far more things than a continent.
Sakyamuni shook his head and said, "Brother Ji Mo, you should talk about the spirit beasts in the north. As for the Outer Sea Beastmaster, you can leave it to Liu Li."
Gimo Fanshu smiled and said, "That's good too. In fact, the Northern Border is a world of ice and snow, and we humans are only at the outermost area of the Northern Border. The deeper areas are the world of the Northern Border's spirit beasts and monsters. Their numbers are huge, but those spirit beasts have higher intelligence. They know how terrifying humans are, so under normal circumstances, they won't take the initiative to attack human residences. " He glanced down and said coldly, "But now that the Millennium Ice Island is about to appear, those spirit beasts are starting to become irritable. They're filled with murderous auras, and they thirst for human blood. So at this moment, they'll run amok in the Northern Border and gather their companions to attack human strongholds."
He Yiming's face turned ugly. He said, "These footprints …"
Gimo Fanshu said calmly, "This is the signal for the monsters in the Northern Border to gather. They're probably gathering to attack a certain town."
He Yiming took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and help."
Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu were stunned at the same time. They looked at He Yiming strangely.
After a brief moment, Sakyamuni cleared his throat and said, "Brother He, Brother He, the people who live here are ordinary people scattered in the Northern Border. Those who are related to the Ice Palace are more concentrated around the palace."
He Yiming's heart turned cold. He asked, "Are the two of you planning to stand by and do nothing?"
Sakyamuni said helplessly, "Things like this happen too often. It happens every time the Ice Island appears. Even if we help, we'll be powerless."
He Yiming smiled proudly and said, "Since the two of you are unwilling to help, He won't force you. Please wait for a moment. He will be back soon."
He squeezed the horse's belly, and the White Horse Lightning instantly turned into a bolt of lightning. It instantly followed the footprints on the ground and went far away.
Behind him, Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu looked at each other. After a long time, Gimo Fanshu finally said, "It's good to be young!"
