NOVPUBAll of this just now seemed like nothing but an illusion.
...
"There’s actually a Class V divine beast hidden in this Heavenly Sea!"
The black Spirit Chicken’s heart trembled.
Although it was not clear about the origin of this divine beast,
the scene where it swallowed the white bear in one bite made it acutely aware that this was an entity it could not handle.
Even if its original body were still around, at the peak of its strength, it would not be a match for this great fish.
But perhaps the white bear had already filled the big fish’s belly.
The fish did not pursue, allowing it to escape successfully.
But it remained uneasy and continued to fly desperately for a while longer.
Once it had somewhat recovered from its shock,
a realization gradually dawned on the black Spirit Chicken:
"Such a powerful divine beast, hiding here, controlling the breeding of many creatures... Is it raising food in this place?"
Although divine beasts are powerful, they naturally require a lot of resources to survive.
It itself was born of a divine beast, and because of its gluttony for consuming creatures, including humans, it was caught by human cultivators who extracted its Primordial Spirit and trapped it in one place, subjecting it to torture.
It immediately saw through the big fish’s intentions.
However, it also instantly thought of the vast amount of Yuanyang from the big fish that had been injected into its cloaca... 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
In its eyes, a hint of suppressed humiliation and rage flashed by.
But these emotions soon turned into worry for the eggs in its belly.
"They haven’t been affected, have they?"
The black Spirit Chicken was anxious and quickly checked.
It found that the big fish’s Yuanyang, which resembled sticky glue, was wrapped around the soft shell of the eggs in its lower abdomen.
The abundant vitality that had been there was now exceedingly feeble.
The black Spirit Chicken’s heart sank:
"They have been affected!"
"No, I need to find a place quickly."
It rapidly expanded its Spiritual Mind, spreading it in all directions.
Then it flew swiftly toward the north.
With the protection of the Fire Paulownia Tree, the cold currents had little effect on it, so its speed was not much slower than usual.
It was hard to say how long it flew.
In its field of vision, the plains below gradually became undulating, and then the altitude rose higher, with colder cold currents blowing by.
Even with the Fire Paulownia present, its speed involuntarily slowed down.
Feeling the extreme cold here, the black Spirit Chicken finally began to feel a bit more at ease.
It slowed down a bit.
Finally, in front of a towering ice pillar that reached into the sky, it stopped.
"Here, that human cultivator, he shouldn’t come again, right?"
The black Spirit Chicken looked up at the ice pillar piercing the clouds, covered by countless cold currents, almost as if holding up the sky, a satisfied look finally appearing in its eyes.
...
"The place Master mentioned is near an ice pillar on the northern plateau; it’s said that as long as one reaches the northern plateau, one will be able to see it," Wang Ba recalled his master’s information and said aboard the iron ship.
Ying He nodded:
"What the Chief Division Master said should be the ’Northern Heavenly Pillar’... It is one of the more spectacular spots in the Northsea Continent, along with the ’Northern Heavenly Sea’ and the ’Northern Ice Abyss’ that I mentioned earlier... collectively known as the Seven Sights of the Northsea Continent."
"We will encounter the Northern Heavenly Sea shortly. After we pass it, the vortex passage will come soon, and the Chief Division Master won’t be able to stay outside anymore."
Wang Ba nodded slightly.
The vortex passage was formed where cold currents and warm currents overlapped, and they had to pass through a warm current or cold current to enter. Faced with the great power of Heaven and Earth here, he still lacked a bit.
As they talked, more fog started to appear ahead.
Ying He was not worried; as he made his calculations, he pointed to the quiet sea within the depths of the mist and introduced it to Wang Ba with a hint of regret:
"This is the Northern Heavenly Sea. It’s just a pity that we came at the wrong time. Without the warm currents, there’s not so much mist. If you come when there are fewer cold currents, and the sky’s light shines down, making this sea, suspended in the heavens, appear crystal clear blue, with countless fish swimming through, the scenery would be absolutely stunning."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba took another look at the sea within the mist.
He felt some longing for the scene Ying He had described.
However, he then curiously asked:
"Isn’t it said that there are Demonic Beasts of Class V inside? Wouldn’t it be very dangerous when they come out to hunt for food?"
"Of course, it’s extremely dangerous,"
Ying He agreed:
"There’s said to be one in this sea, but it hides deep, and not many have truly seen it... In fact, as far as I know, it almost never leaves this Heavenly Sea to hunt... It is said to be because its body is too large and heavy, as leaving the sea to hunt might be less productive than consuming its energy, so even if we pass by here, we shouldn’t be in any danger."
"Of course, we still shouldn’t be careless, so it’s safer to detour around the Heavenly Sea."
Ying He’s explanation brought understanding to Wang Ba.
While they were speaking, the iron ship quickly flew towards the fog in the distance along the edge of the Northern Heavenly Sea.
Due to impaired visibility, it took about a day before the fog finally cleared.
And indeed, as Ying He had said, there was no cause for alarm.
Soon Wang Ba also saw the sight of the northern plateau’s extreme cold currents colliding with the Tianmo Continent’s warm currents that Ying He had described.
There were no particular special features, just a lot of mist forming rapidly at the junction of the two currents.
They could also see a slanted vortex rapidly spinning in mid-air, and if one squinted, the vortex seemed to lead to a place farther away.
Wang Ba knew that this was the so-called Heavenly version of the geographical position passage.
He instinctively hid inside the cabin.
