One day in heaven, one year in mortal world.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, spring turns to winter, and another year passes.
Tianyan Continent, Zixu Academy.
In the early morning, two figures were competing in swordsmanship on the training ground of Yuanwu Hall.
One of them wore a blue brocade robe and held a long sword in his hand. His movements were dexterous and elegant, and his moves were sharp.
The other person has an elegant figure, with his hands flying in a gentle manner.
The person wearing blue clothes is Helian Wenyan's eldest disciple Qin Yuxuan, and the person fighting him is the nineteen-year-old Jiu Ge.
Outside the training ground, six figures were staring at the two of them attentively as they competed.
"Master, my junior sister's cultivation will soon become the first among the seven of us!" Zhao Feiyang said excitedly.
"Yes, she and senior brother have been fighting for half an hour, but they haven't lost at all." Li Feibai echoed.
"In just a short time, she has advanced from the third-level spiritual king to the sixth-level spiritual king. This little girl is really becoming more and more evil!" Helian Yuanjie said as he put his hand on the two of them. on the shoulders.
"You are right. If we continue at this rate, there will be no pressure on our junior sister to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm before she is twenty years old." Zhao Feiyang nodded in agreement.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Helian Wenyan couldn't help but raised his head and laughed. His eyes were full of pride. He knew that this disciple he had always been proud of was destined to become a legend of Zixu Academy. .
The competition on the training ground lasted for a full hour, and finally ended with Qin Yuxuan slightly losing.
"Little junior sister, you are so powerful." As soon as Jiu Ge put away his sword, Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but rush forward, hugged her arm and shouted.
"Haha..." Jiuge touched his nose and said with a smile: "It was the senior brother who gave in to me in the end, and I was able to narrowly win."
Hearing this, Qin Yuxuan smiled lightly and said, "You are obviously strong, so why should you be humble?"
"That's right, little junior sister, you don't have to be modest, your strength is obvious to all of us." Li Feibai also came over with a smile.
Seeing the happy expressions of several people, Helian Wenyan had a slight smile on his face: "Girl Jiuge, I am very satisfied with your performance today. At your age, my master has just broken through the fifth level of spiritual sect."
"Master has given you such a compliment, how can this disciple compare to you?" Jiuge said humbly.
Although her cultivation level advanced very quickly, she knew that without Nangong Yueze's help many times, she would still be just an ordinary Lingzong.
"Haha, you kid... that's all, let's not talk about it anymore." Helian Wenyan smiled, then changed the subject and said, "While the seven of you are here today, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, the seven people fell silent at the same time, and all raised their eyes to look at Helian Wenyan.
Helian Wenyan cleared his throat and said slowly: "I am going to take you to the North Sea Icefield to practice for two months. The departure time is set for three days."
"Beihai Icefield?" Helian Yuanjie was slightly startled, "Dad is talking about the North Sea Icefield, which is known as the extremely cold place?"
"Yes." Helian Wenyan nodded, "I heard from my master that this ice field was left by a celestial god a long time ago. There are all kinds of rare medicinal materials, spiritual herbs, and some rare things in the ice field. These ores are very helpful in improving cultivation. However, the barrier of the North Sea Icefield will only be opened every sixty years. Mortal monks can only successfully enter the North Sea Icefield by crossing the North Sea of Hell. If they miss it, We have to wait another sixty years for the opportunity.”
"Mortals have a limited life span, who can afford to wait for the next sixty years." Qin Yuxuan said with a slight frown.
"You are right. Therefore, every time the North Sea Icefield Barrier is opened, it will attract a large number of monks. If anyone is lucky enough to meet the Divine Lord and get his guidance, it will be a great blessing." Helian Wenyan Said solemnly.
"Wow!!" Hearing this, everyone looked expectantly.
It is already a rare opportunity for them to go to the North Sea Icefield to experience, let alone get guidance from the Divine Lord.
"I have already inquired about it. All the sects will send people there this time, and our Zixu Academy is no exception. However, the North Sea Icefield is vast and there are monsters in and out. The seven of you must take care of each other when the time comes. Don't show off." Helian Wenyan said loudly.
"Yeah!" All seven people nodded.
"Okay, you should prepare well in these three days. We will set off early in the morning after three days."
"Yes, Master!!" All the disciples saluted respectfully, and then left the training ground one by one.
Back in the room, Jiuge didn't bother to rest, and immediately wrote the news that she was going to the North Sea Icefield on the letterhead. Although she knew that Nangong Yueze would not be able to spare such a long time to accompany her to experience, at least before departure , she also wanted to meet him.
…
On the other side, the Nebula Empire Imperial City.
After handling all the political affairs, Nangong Yueze went to Yuhua Palace to have breakfast with Chen Shuxian as usual.
Along the way, Su Ho followed him closely, "Your Highness, all the sects are already preparing to leave for the North Sea Icefield. Are we, Yin Yue Pavilion, going to send people there this time?"
"You can just arrange this." Nangong Yueze said without looking back.
When Su Ho heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Miss Jiu Ge will definitely go this time. Don't you want to go with her, Your Highness?"
"I have my own plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." Nangong Yueze raised his eyebrows. After finishing his words, he paused, turned his head, glanced at Su Ho, and said deliberately: "Speaking of which, Siqina The guy has been gone for more than a year, and I don’t know how he is doing?”
When Nangong Yueze mentioned Si Qin, Su Ho was startled for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Si Qin should be fine. Otherwise, news would have come from the heavens long ago."
"Yeah, I know." Nangong Yueze curled his lips and continued to walk forward.
Su Ho stood there, glanced at the other person's back, and seemed to understand something, and quickly caught up with him, "Your Highness, do you think Su Ho didn't take good care of you enough? Why are you thinking about Si Qin all the time? .”
"Huh? Don't you miss him?" Nangong Yueze turned around and asked with interest.
"I..." Su Ho was speechless and his cheeks turned red uncontrollably, "I didn't."
"Are you sure?" Seeing Su Ho's expression, Nangong Yueze chuckled, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll ask Si Ming to tell Si Qin for me, asking him to stay in the heaven and wait for me to return. There is no need to come to the mortal world again. ”
"No!!" After hearing this, Su Ho immediately became anxious and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the other party's sleeve and said anxiously, "If he doesn't go down to the lower realm, I will never see him again."
Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes and glanced at the plain hands holding his clothes, and the curve of the corners of his lips deepened, "Why are you so excited? Oh, I almost forgot, you seem to be interested in him, how about it, do you want me to help? Did you catch him??"
"Your Majesty the Moon Goddess!!" Su Ho's face instantly turned red. She stamped her feet and glared at Nangong Yueze angrily, "If you keep making fun of me like this, I really won't care about you."
"Hahaha!!" Nangong Yueze smiled again and seemed to be in a good mood, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You tell Jiu Ge for me and tell her to pay attention to her safety during the trip to the North Sea Icefield. I'll wait until I'm free. , and went to find her."
"I understand, and I will bring your words to you."
…
Zixu Academy.
In the afternoon, Jiuge was alone in the library of Yuanwu Hall, reading classics. She still had three days to go to the North Sea Icefield. At this moment, she just wanted to know more about this mysterious place.
Beiminghai is located in the northernmost part of Tianyan Continent, seven thousand miles away from Zixu City. It does not belong to any country or any force.
Because it is covered with snow all year round and the temperature is extremely cold, no one is willing to set foot there.
There is an extremely large ice field not far from the North Sea of Hell. That ice field is exactly where they are going this time - the North Sea Ice Field.
The North Sea Icefield is vast, even larger than the entire Nebula Empire. It is said that there are many ferocious beasts and monsters living in it. If you are not careful, your life may be lost.
Of course, in addition to this, there are countless heavenly materials, earthly treasures and artifacts in the North Sea Icefield. Therefore, even if there are dangers, they still cannot stop the determination of those monks to risk their lives to break in.
Over the years, every sixty years, the barrier of the North Sea Icefield will be opened. Every time it is opened, all the powerful people from Tianyan Continent will flock there, seeking opportunities and obtaining spiritual treasures.
Jiuge knew that this trip to the North Sea Icefield was by no means an ordinary trip. It was seven thousand miles away, and at the speed of their sword flying, it would take at least seven days to arrive, so she had to be fully prepared before that.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a thunder outside the library.
"boom--"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the entire sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder rolled. Then, heavy rain poured down. In the blink of an eye, the entire Yuanwu Hall was submerged in the curtain of water.
"It's fine, why is it raining?" Looking at the sudden heavy rain, Jiu Ge frowned, stood up from the bookshelf, and walked to the door of the library
As soon as she reached the balcony, she saw Nangong Yueze flying towards her in the rain.
He was soaked all over, and his crescent-colored robe clung to his body, outlining his slender figure. His unparalleled handsome face looked even more charming against the backdrop of the heavy rain.
Jiuge stared at him blankly for a long time. It was not until he was about to land that she came back to her senses.
"Why are you here at this time?" Jiuge walked up to him and asked with a distressed look on his face.
"I received your flying pigeon letter and came to find you, but I didn't expect it started to rain on the way." Nangong Yueze responded. As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and Jiuge pulled him directly into his arms.
Feeling the other party's movements, Jiuge did not resist. Instead, he raised his head slightly and actively hugged the other party's neck, "I thought you wouldn't come."
"Haha, how come? I said, no matter how busy I am, I will come to see you." Nangong Yueze put his arms around Jiuge's slender waist, his deep and mellow voice carrying a touch of magnetism.
Jiuge let out a soft "hmm", buried her head in his chest, closed her eyes, and listened silently to his heartbeat.
After a while, she slowly let go of Nangong Yueze and said softly: "Look at how wet you are. It just so happened that Senior Brother Yuanjie bought a new set of clothes yesterday. I went to find him to change them for you. Come on, I’ll cook you a bowl of ginger soup to keep you away from the cold.”
After saying that, without waiting for Nangong Yueze's reply, Jiuge trotted away.
