Chapter 1122: Chapter 74: Second Encounter_3 Chapter 1122: Chapter 74: Second Encounter_3 Just as he was pondering.
A faint purple figure swiftly flew over the sea surface, and within the blink of an eye, landed on the iron ship.
Seeing this figure, Wang Ba said,
âIt must have been tough, Enforcer Ying.
Is everything taken care of?â
Ying He smiled slightly and replied,
âThe Chief Division Master is indeed meticulous.
I deliberately concealed the celestial phenomena of those three peopleâs deaths and delayed the extinguishing of their soul lamps.
Itâs only for three days, but these three days are enough for us to cross Juhai Pass and reach the Path of North Sea.â
âEven if the people from the primitive Demon Sect realize those three are gone, they will only think they were killed by that True Martial Cultivator or met a Demonic Beast in the seaâŚ
Eh?
...
Whereâs that True Martial Cultivator?â
Wang Baâs expression remained calm, âCouldnât be saved, I buried him at sea.â
Ying He was slightly startled, then, with a touch of regret, he said,
Source: , updated on ĆονÖ0.ŃÎż
âI was hoping to use him to distract the primitive Demon Sect a little longerâŚ
what a pity.â
âIndeed, a pity.â
Wang Ba no longer spoke and continued to sit cross-legged on the deck, letting the gradually colder sea breeze brush against him.
As if he wanted to blow away the slight remorse and complexity in his heart.
The surface of the sea began to freeze over with a thick layer of ice once again.
Snow and wind arrived quietly.
At this moment, Ying He suddenly looked up, gazing into the distance:
âJuhai Pass, weâve arrived.â
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldnât help but lift his head and look toward the north.
There was a shadow stretching across the northern horizon, like a high wall with no visible ends to either side.
The howling white airflow spilled coldness over the North Sea from the gaps atop the high wallâŚ
âIs that Juhai Pass?â
Wang Ba murmured.
ââŹÂŚ
It wasnât until the third day of seeing Juhai Pass.
Accompanied by a crackling sound.
The iron ship broke through the thick ice on the seaâs surface and finally arrived before Juhai Pass.
On the iron ship, the cultivators couldnât help but raise their heads, looking up at the enormous glacier in front of them.
Aside from Ying He, even Wang Ba couldnât help but exclaim in admiration.
The glacierâs height had completely surpassed all the famous mountains and great rivers Wang Ba had ever seen.
Even the ten thousand peaks of his sect appeared thin and low in comparison.
And such a glacier, yet it spanned before the Northsea Continent, blocking all the cold currents from the northern plateau of Northsea Continent.
It even earned the name âJuhai Pass.â
Only some faint wind fell down, causing most of the North Sea surface to freeze three feet thick.
âHow are we going to get up there?â
Li Yingfu couldnât help but ask.
Just approaching this glacier, everyone already felt as if their mana was being frozen.
If they really flew up along the glacier and over it, they probably wouldnât last long before truly being frozen.
âDonât worry, if we were to fly up along this Juhai Pass, even I wouldnât last long once we reach that narrow pass,â Ying He said with a laugh, appearing confident.
He didnât keep them in suspense, steering the iron ship swiftly along the glacier.
It wasnât long.
Before Wang Ba suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
Ying He, with his keen senses, immediately asked curiously,
âChief Division Master, whatâs wrong?â
Wang Ba showed a look of surprise,
âThereâs actually such a Spirit Beast hereâŚ
Enforcer Ying, wait a moment.â
Hearing this, Ying He reacted as if this was routine.
All along their journey, it was not the first time the Chief Division Master had stopped to capture a Spirit Beast.
Since the Chief Division Masterâs action was extraordinary, it hadnât caused any delay.
So, he stopped as well.
Wang Ba stood at the bow, the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers emerged, mana surged, and he reached out with his hand.
In an instant, a five-colored giant hand plunged into the water.
All onlookers curiously watched.
Ying He was also curious.
With his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Later Stage and specializing in soul talents, even he hadnât noticed any rumblings of a Spirit Beast below.
But soon the water started to violently churn!
âEh?
There really is one!â
Ying He scanned with his Spiritual Sense and immediately showed a look of astonishment.
He quickly offered,
âDoes the Chief Division Master need assistance?â
Wang Ba pondered for a moment, then calmly replied, âNo need, if you intervene, it might only startle it awake.â
Hearing this, Ying He dared not disturb and only said,
âIf the Chief Division Master needs anything, just say the word.â
Soon, the waterâs turbulence intensified again.
Just as Ying He was becoming somewhat impatient,
He saw the five-colored giant hand pulling out something utterly motionless and black from the water!
Everyone looked closely.
To their amazement, it was a huge turtle, deep black all over with profound mystical patterns on its shell, as big as a small mountain!
And what was more astonishing was that the aura of this giant turtle was that of a Fourth Order Middle Grade!
âThis is the âEnlightenment Turtle.'â
âEvery year it grows another strand of mystical pattern on its shell.
Observing these patterns can provoke enlightenmentâŚ
Looking at the two thousand or so patterns on this turtleâs back, it seems to have lived for over two thousand years already.â
âIt must have been hibernating here.â
Wang Ba cheerfully handled the still-closed-eyed turtle, which appeared completely oblivious to its capture, with the five-colored giant hand while explaining.
The onlookers marveled admiringly.
The Rogue Cultivators, though unable to see Wang Baâs features, grew even more awestruck by him.
Wang Ba placed a special Seal Talisman on it before storing it in the Spirit Beast Bag.
His heart filled with delight.
This was the biggest catch among the Spirit Beasts he had captured on this trip.
âAfter returning, I might see if I can improve the bloodline of the Azure Spirit Turtle.â
The Azure Spirit Turtle was a hybrid mutant species he had cultivated, which was nearing the limit of its potential with its gradeâs advancement.
