Chapter 380 Youquan
Life on the ice ship was monotonous. Although there were spiritual veins beneath the glacier, the place was so cold that the chilling air entangled in the spiritual energy made Ji Rong lose interest in cultivating.
Both inside and outside the boat were a vast expanse of white, an icy white. The occasional birds that landed and the mountain beasts that passed by were also all dressed in white.
White, white, white, so white that no other color could be seen, so white that Ji Rong felt lonely.
Fortunately, Shan Shui was very knowledgeable, and every day he was able to explain to Ji Rong the differences between various gods and different species.
When there was nothing left to say, Shan Shui used himself, the Six Divine Beasts, and Ji Rong as examples, which made everyone laugh.
He said, “Young friend, someone like me is an anomaly among the gods. Any authority can be used by me, but as the price for exercising that authority, I may disintegrate prematurely.”
But you, my young friend, have seized the creation of heaven and earth, your spirit has grown into a tree, forming your own space, and you are naturally compatible with all living beings—truly unprecedented.
...
On the fifteenth day, Shanshui and Jirong arrived at the surface of the glacier.
Ji Rong sat on the stunned mountain whale, skating and playing, while Shan Shui sat on the mountain sturgeon, chasing after them, while Shan Hu and the others were still being carried on the boat by Shan Shui Ju, who was carrying the scenery of Liangzhou.
The cold wind from skating pierced her bones. Ji Rong was reluctant to use much spiritual energy to keep warm and was having a great time when she saw someone emerge from the ice layer of the cold river, completely white.
It is true that different places nurture different kinds of life.
Leng Hezhong bowed to Ji Rong and Shan Shui, saying, "Divine Lord, young friend Ji, we have reached a conclusion and designated two places as the dwelling place of the Extreme Yang Immortal Lord. I will take you there first to familiarize yourself with the place, and then we will trouble young friend Ji to take the Extreme Yang Immortal Lord to see it."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong and Shan Shui exchanged glances, and Ji Rong smiled and said, "Two immortal lords, it's too much trouble to go back and forth, let's go together."
As she spoke, she patted the mountain whale beneath her and said, "Good mountain whale, it's time for you and the mountain sturgeon to show your skills."
Shan Shui also spoke up gently, saying, "Two Immortal Lords, it would be better for you to discuss these matters with Immortal Lord Ji Yang in person."
I have a method that will save you from being burned by the fiery passion.
The mountain sturgeon and the mountain whale are water spirits; they can hold you in their mouths, and then you can hide inside the ice—wouldn't that be much more convenient?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying's eyes lit up. He and Leng Hexia bowed together again and said, "Thank you for your care, Divine Lord. We will have to trouble you two young Divine Lords, Mountain Whale and Mountain Sturgeon."
"Wow!" Ji Rong thought to herself, "It really does come in handy. The difference in status between a divine beast and a minor deity is like heaven and earth."
The mountain whales and mountain sturgeons transformed into enormous bodies and swallowed up the cold river and the lower part of the cold river.
As soon as they opened their mouths, Ji Rong saw multi-petaled ice flowers gradually growing around their lips. Ji Rong thought to herself, no wonder the Lenghe clan has difficulty traveling. Even the gods cannot resist their coldness, so who can carry them?!
Although the mountain whale and the mountain sturgeon only had their mouths frozen, Shan Shui still placed the broken bowl on the mountain whale's head and sat on the mountain sturgeon to share the two extreme cold forces with them.
They traveled swiftly and finally stopped beside Sunset Abyss. Ji Rong flew down and briefly explained the situation to Xi Tong.
Xi Tong said, "Arong, I'm blind and can't see, so you can see for me."
Ji Rong nodded solemnly and said, "Okay," and then led her out of Sunset Abyss.
The habitat chosen by the creatures of Juzhou for Xitong is a mountain on the edge of the sea in the far northeast.
Long ago, many cliff trees grew here. Although the cliff trees are no longer there, and the land is covered with frost and no living beings live here, the soil here is thick, not easily flammable, and very quiet.
In the past, there were rumors that the weak sun once lived there. Ruoxi lived with her in Haiya Mountain, so the ice water that melted with her could flow directly into the desolate sea.
However, there is one downside to this place: the Lord of the West sometimes goes there.
The other place is above the hot springs at the far northwest, where it is said to be warm all year round and the only green space in Juzhou.
The hot spring is quite close to the Kunlun Mountains, and most of the creatures in Juzhou live here, so it's rather noisy.
Now that a new god has appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, if Xi Jun were to show some consideration for the new god, the hot springs would be a good place to go.
Furthermore, if Xi Tong were to go there, the water that melts down from her body could be used to cross the Ya River without having to go through the glacier, which would put Leng He Shi at ease.
Xi Tong sat on the back of the mountain bear, listening attentively as the cold river in the mouth of the mountain whale explained the situation to her. She nodded and said, "Immortal Lord Da Han has thought things through so thoroughly. I think both places are good and I have no objections."
That's what they say, but we still have to go through it all and pick a good one.
They first arrived at Haiya Mountain, a desolate and barren place where not a blade of grass grew. On the mountaintop stood only a withered tree with fourteen broken sections in its trunk. Ji Rong flew around the tree once, but couldn't even find a place to put her feet down.
It's so dilapidated! Even after many years, the unnatural gaps and cracks in this mountain cliff still tell visitors about their tragic past through the thick ice.
If one had to find a good point about Haiya Mountain, it would be that it is indeed quiet, with not even a breeze.
Ji Rong thought to herself, no wonder Xi Jun, who is known throughout the world for his love of tranquility, would occasionally come here to take a look. Perhaps only He would like to come here.
Then, they passed through layers of frost and snow, crossed glaciers, and arrived at the hot springs on Tanghe Mountain.
When Ji Rong looked at the ten-foot-high dormant volcano, the green lawn less than fifty feet in circumference, and a bunch of ice rats, rabbits, and foxes, he was immediately satisfied.
Without comparison, there is no good or bad! Although the hot spring's appearance is barely acceptable, it is much better than Sunset Glow and Sea Cliff Mountain.
Firstly, this place is close to the Kunlun Mountains, making it convenient for me to travel back and forth in the future.
Secondly, they traveled from the northeast to the northwest, and apart from the glaciers and the many eleven blessed lands with owners, there was only one place that was not entirely white ice. Xi Tong had difficulty seeing and walking, so living here meant that at least there were some rats who could serve and support her.
As for the lack of spiritual veins here, that's not a problem. After all, with mountains and rivers, spiritual veins are easy to obtain. It's just a matter of connecting to a spiritual vein, and the hundreds of mountains of Kunlun will certainly not refuse.
Although I'm satisfied, I still need to fight for control.
So Ji Rong poked the mountain whale in the mouth and asked, "Great Cold Immortal Lord, the ice and snow in Juzhou are so thick, and the Kunlun Mountains are only two hundred feet away from this hot spring. Don't your mountain people migrate to the Kunlun Mountains?"
"If the mountain people all sneak over here, would the Immortal Lord Jiyang punish them?"
The voice of the Great Cold Immortal Lord came helplessly from the mouth of the mountain whale. He said, "Juzhou is poor and weak. In the past, many mountain tribes had a tradition of offering their beauty to the Kunlun tribe in exchange for resources. It was only after the death of the Golden Mother Goddess that things improved."
"If Immortal Lord Jiyang chooses this place, then it is naturally up to him to decide, and we will not interfere."
Having chosen the location, Leng Hezhong immediately summoned the accompanying Ice Wolf clan to Tanghe Mountain to coordinate with the creatures to welcome Xi Tong to the hot spring.
Xi Tong had little to move, so Ji Rong led him to rest on the side.
The cold river beneath the mountain sturgeon's mouth was very lively. It asked Xi Tong all sorts of questions, and sometimes it would cover its face with ice and peek at Xi Tong through the gap in the mountain sturgeon's mouth.
After seeing Xi Tong's true appearance and looking at him several times, it felt that this immortal lord was not much different from the ice birds living on both sides of the glacier. Apart from their different colors, they all had two eyes and a pair of wings, and it soon lost interest.
