Chapter 352 The Extreme North Ice Field
Facts have proved that Lu Qing's idea is feasible. Li Yanling turned into a cloud and headed north without encountering any major troubles.
As for Lu Qing himself, he basically stayed away from Li Yanling for a whole day, exploring ahead.
If there is a powerful demon that exceeds the level of the White Ghost Emperor and is equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator, then he will definitely give an early warning to tell Li Yanling not to move forward. In the state of Yunding Xianzi, she can perfectly escape the detection of opponents at the Jindan level, but when she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it is very difficult to say.
This should be kept as stable as possible.
On the way, Lu Qing actually saw a few white ghosts at the Nascent Soul level. This is already deep in the extreme northern ice sheet. This kind of fifth-order white ghost has only appeared once in the history of white ghosts traveling south. Fortunately, Qingfeng Sect still had Nascent Soul cultivators in charge back then, which belonged to the strong period of Qingfeng Sect, otherwise... the ghost knows what the current situation of Feiyun State and Xuezhou is.
When encountering this kind of situation, after Lu Qing detects it in advance, he will send a voice transmission to Li Yanling, asking her to detour in advance. Go around in a big circle and make sure that it is absolutely impossible to be perceived before moving on.
Lu Qing didn't want to let his daughter-in-law take too many risks in one investigation operation - it's better not at all!
Of course, because of detours, and the deeper you go, the number of fifth-order white ghosts Lu Qing encounters becomes more frequent, so after many detours, the speed of progress will inevitably be greatly affected .
And, the further north you go, the colder it gets.
For Golden Core cultivators, the simple cold may not have that big of an impact. But when it comes to the extreme northern ice sheet, the low temperature is not just pure cold. In the cold wind, there seemed to be a cold malice, and there seemed to be some kind of evil power.
The farther north, the more so.
This level may not be a big deal for a Jindan powerhouse like Li Yanling, but there will always be some discomfort. This is especially true since she has been in this environment for more than two months.
This was already at a very deep place, Lu Qing returned to Li Yanling's side through teleportation again, and reset his in-body time.
This time, on the way to the north, he had already seen a sixth-level white ghost.
That guy, sitting on an iceberg. The entire mountain peak was carved into the shape of a throne, and the Faxiang White Ghost, who was taller than the mountain peak, sat on it, like a giant standing upright.
This Lu Qing must not dare to let Li Yanling get closer. Lu Qing's understanding of Dharma Aspects is still not deep enough. He only knows that after they call out Dharma Aspects, they are really like the ancient gods in the legend, with magical powers reaching the sky. Specifically, how strong their perception ability is, Lu Qing doesn't know.
Under such circumstances, he would definitely not let Li Yanling approach.
Even now, in fact, the distance between the two sides is equivalent to the distance of Nascent Soul cultivator flying at full speed for a day. If you can't take this risk, you won't take it.
However, when Lu Qing looked at the Faxiang White Ghost from a distance, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a ruined place behind its mountain peak. In the center of the ruins, there really seemed to be a big hole.
At this point, Lu Qing still hopes to see more clearly.
So, he finally decided to go to Tantan.
Of course, Li Yanling wasn't asked to go any further, she just stayed where she was. Lu Qing came back by himself, replenished the time of leaving the body, and then he headed north-west at full speed.
A day later, Lu Qing saw the Dharma-faced white ghost again. But this time, he didn't stop and continued to fly forward. When the out-of-body time is up, the karma will be spent directly to replenish a wave of out-of-body time, and then continue to move in that direction.
Wang Shan runs to death, these words are really not nonsense.
Although, Lu Qing's flying speed is actually much faster than that of a horse, but there will still be similar problems. He could see it from a distance, but because the body of the Faxiang White Ghost was so huge that the actual distance was actually quite far, even if Lu Qing flew over at full speed, it would take a while.
Lu Qing actually didn't have much interest in this Dharma Aspect White Ghost. No matter how many and good harvests it has, it is not something it can handle now.
What Lu Qing cared more about was the big hole and ruins behind it.
Demons and gods, the two races in the outer world, were the enemies of the ancient immortals. The phenomenon of white ghosts appearing continuously in the north should be relatively rare in the entire practice world. Of course, Lu Qing has reason to suspect that this may have something to do with the former immortals.
Even if not, it would be a good idea to investigate the Nascent Soul formed by the white ghost. After all, this is a problem that has plagued Selangor, and even the entire northern border, for at least thousands of years.
However, no matter how far the distance is, Lu Qing's flying speed is extremely fast. After rushing all the way, he still quickly arrived in front of the Faxiang White Ghost.
When he got closer, he found that this white ghost, just in terms of size, was even taller than the Dharma appearances of Patriarch Weiyun and Xia Cang that he had seen on the front line of Pingzhou before. It is estimated that the figures of those two are at best up to their waists.
As far as the Dharma phase is concerned, the displayed Dharma appearance does not mean that the bigger the better, the more powerful it is. But at least bigger doesn't mean weaker.
Although this sixth-level white ghost just sat on its throne made of mountain peaks and did not move at all, in Lu Qing's perception, he felt that this white ghost was bigger than Weiyun and stronger than Weiyun. Xia Cang must be even stronger.
Can't afford to provoke.
Lu Qing looked at it for a while, then flew around the guy and saw the back.
Just like what he had seen before, it was a ruin, full of ancient traces. From the ruined walls, Lu Qing can roughly see that this place used to be like a royal city, not as big as Yandu, but apart from Yandu, there may be only Wuzhou City in the entire Yan Kingdom can be compared with it.
Wuzhou City is the second largest city in Yan State.
Lu Qing dared to believe that this ruin was definitely not built in the past few thousand years, and the history must be much longer. Because, among the various materials that Lu Qing saw, no matter whether it was the records of Qingfeng Gate or the records of Yan Kingdom, it never mentioned that there was a city on the extreme northern ice sheet.
How can cities exist in such a harsh environment? This must have existed here before the white ghosts appeared on a large scale.
Moreover, there is another very important point, that is, how can an ordinary city survive for such a long time in the presence of countless white ghosts?
Even in Yandu, the largest city in the Yan Kingdom, if Liao has no inhabitants and is full of white ghosts with strong destructive desires for thousands of years, there must be no trace left. It must be a professional archaeologist. Only by digging can we find some clues.
After entering the ruins, Lu Qing did find something unusual.
Among these ruins, there are no furniture or supplies to be seen, and there is no fireworks. Yes, it's just a building. But these buildings and the materials used to construct them are even things that Lu Qing can't distinguish for a while.
Lu Qing even saw a white ghost emperor who had reached the Enlightenment stage, suddenly went berserk, and attacked a half-collapsed room frantically. After this set of heavy blows, if it hits an ordinary human city, if there is no monk organization, I am afraid that half of the city will be smashed to pieces in a short time.
But for a half-collapsed house, these attacks had no effect at all. They didn't even stir up a bit of wall dust, but just swept up the snow all over the ground. It's as if this Hundred Ghost King, who is nearly ten feet tall, is made of cotton.
This is a bit unusual.
Lu Qing continued to walk towards the center of the ruins, and saw the big hole he had seen when he was looking from a high place.
This big hole is almost in the middle of the ruins of the entire city. Looking down, it is bottomless. And on the walls around the huge cave, white ghosts climbed up one by one.
At first glance, the number is not too much, and there is no such dense feeling. Compared with the size of the entire big hole, it can even be regarded as very sparse.
But even so, in the long years, when the white ghosts crawled out from here without stopping, it can be seen how many white ghosts there will be on the entire Arctic ice sheet?
It's no wonder that every few decades, there will be a white ghost going south, and hundreds of thousands of white ghosts will be rushed down and killed at one time, and they will never stop.
Even, the white ghost's journey to the south is just a small part of the white ghost's consumption. Along the way, Lu Qing often saw that these brainless demons, with the white ghost generals at the foundation level or the white ghost kings at the enlightenment level as the core, formed large or small groups, conquered each other, and fought and killed each other.
This situation can be seen almost everywhere on the extreme arctic ice sheets. After decades of accumulating, there are countless demons who died in the mutual conquest of white ghosts, but even so, the huge number cannot be consumed, so that there will be a large-scale massacre every few decades. go south.
Lu Qing is now convinced that although he doesn't know how this big hole was formed, it leads to the abyss, so there should be no escape. If it weren't for the legendary abyss with countless layers and countless demons living there, Lu Qing would never have imagined where monsters could emerge continuously for thousands of years.
The passage leading to the abyss is here, and a bold idea even arises in Lu Qing's heart - can I drill in and have a look? Perhaps, you can really see with your own eyes what the real abyss looks like!
Once I had this thought in my mind, I couldn't help it.
"There shouldn't be any major problems, right? If there is a problem, just withdraw in time..."
With this in mind, Lu Qing dived down.
