Chapter 1161 - Eerie Bottom of the Icy River

Translator: Timothy_  Editor: mjn0898

“These women aren’t simple.” Ye Mo looked at the frozen beautiful women and frowned.

With such terrifying coldness, ordinary people would’ve cracked into nothing. How could they maintain this look?

Ye Mo took out the map, the map didn’t show these women but the scene shown on the map was clearly this place.

There should be an ice river if he walked along this mountain.

Ye Mo controlled Blue Moon to go in carefully and found there was indeed a long ice river. There was no water inside the river, just ice. There were all sorts of strange shaped ice stones on the side of the banks as well as long ice shards.

There were also other ice figures but they weren’t women anymore, there were all sorts of people. Some even maintained a battle position, others were missing hands or heads.

Shan Bingfeng said she once came here, what power level was she – was she hollow spirit state as well? If she was and she didn’t have a magic artifact like Blue Moon, Ye Mo wouldn’t believe she could come here alone.

Or perhaps there wasn’t this bone chilling frost when she came, but that was impossible. Without it, this place wouldn’t be called Ice God forbidden grounds.

Ye Mo took out the map and looked at it carefully again. He found he was right, this was the place.

Ye Mo kept flying Blue Moon along the river bed and after another two hours, Ye Mo felt something was wrong. There were some frozen bodies before, but the more he travelled the fewer the bodies.

Eventually the river and the two sides were barren. Ye Mo took out the map again and he found he didn’t seem to be on the wrong route.

“It’s not right brother, the map shows that the ice river gets wider and wider but it’s getting more and more narrow for us,” Tang Beiwei suddenly pointed.

Ye Mo looked carefully, it was indeed so. He really looked at the map wrong. Perhaps he went the wrong way.

Ye Mo was about to change directions when the ice river suddenly cracked open without warning.

“Go in quickly!” Ye Mo pushed Tang Beiwei inside and pulled out the octagonal cauldron.

*Rumble rumble*

After the huge sound, there was suddenly a powerful suction force at the cracked part of the ice river. This reminded Ye Mo of the swamp.

Ye Mo instantly controlled Blue Moon to speed away. Luckily, with Winter’s Arrival’s help, Blue Moon wasn’t slowed down by the frost and rapidly charged out of the suction range.

Ye Mo turned around and looked at the crack, which disappeared as though it had never appeared.

Before Ye Mo could recover, he felt a dense spirit chi. It was the same feeling as the spirit marrow pond in the herb valley. It was comfortable to the extreme. He felt he only took in some of this spirit chi and his power grew.

“Such dense spirit chi!” Lin Yiban called out in shock.

Ye Mo didn’t control Blue Moon to leave here. He looked at this ice river and realized why there was nothing around here. With the appearance of that crack and the terrifying suction force, anything would be sucked away.

Just a small portion of spirit chi seeping out of the crack made him feel so good – what if he cultivated inside?

Ye Mo didn’t dare to imagine it.

But Ye Mo didn’t dare to go down. He wasn’t alone now, what if there was some danger there?

Suddenly, Lin Yiban saluted with his fists to Ye Mo, “City lord, I…”

Ye Mo knew what he wanted to say and asked, “Do you want to go into the river bed?”

Lin Yiban nodded firmly. “Yes city lord, the spirit chi down there is extraordinary, it’s clearly a good place for cultivation. I think I’ll stay in this cultivation level for my entire life if I don’t get a place like this to cultivate. But if I go in there I might be able to reach truth realisation state.”

Ye Mo looked back at Luo Ying and them and suddenly said, “In that case, let’s go in together.”

He was furious to the extreme that Ji Ling was killed by Infinity Sect. Ever since he had come to South Peace State, he had been taken care of and helped by Ji Ling many times.

Even a good guy like Ji Ling was killed. It could be said that Ji Ling had only provided help to the South Peace State cultivation realm and no harm. Many big sect’s defense formations were set up by him and yet someone like him was killed. How could Ye Mo feel good?

Even if he was to die, he would get revenge for Ji Ling. If he wanted revenge, he needed power. If he wanted power he needed a good place to cultivate – clearly the river bed was a good place to go.

Ye Mo didn’t ask Luo Ying and them, he knew that they would follow him no matter where he went.

Ye Mo stopped Blue Moon but that crack didn’t appear again. He waited till midday on the third day and decided to stop waiting. Just when he was about to keep searching for the spirit marrow place, the crack appeared again.

The suction force came but Ye Mo didn’t escape with Blue Moon this time. He tried to reduce Blue Moon’s speed, but even so, Blue Moon fell down with a terrifying speed like a comet.

With past experience, Ye Mo kept throwing out formation flags and luckily it wasn’t as cold as above so the formation flags didn’t freeze.

It couldn’t stop Blue Moon, but it slowed them down.

*Rumble*

Blue Moon smashed into the river bed, but luckily no one was hurt.

Lin Yiban was a body condensation state cultivator and he got off with Xu Tong from Blue Moon first. He immediately said in surprise and joy, “This place has no cold, the spirit chi is really terrifyingly dense. This is the best place for cultivation, it’s better than eating any spirit pill.”

Ye Mo also got off and the rest of the people did so as well.

Ye Mo put away Blue Moon and studied this place. There was nothing else but the dense spirit chi and some fine sand. This fine sand extended to a distant place. one couldn’t see the end of it; even if one scanned with spirit sense, it would strangely disappear.

“This isn’t Ice God forbidden grounds,” Lin Yiban said with certainty.

“I heard my father say that even hollow spirit states wouldn’t be able to get in the outskirts of Ice God forbidden grounds without help. Inside forbidden grounds is even more dangerous, you can lose your life at anytime. But this place only has dense spirit chi but no danger.”

Ye Mo nodded in agreement.

If he didn’t have Winter’s Arrival to suck the frost around Blue Moon, even if he could come in it would be a month or two later, and this was if his Blue Moon didn’t break. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get out.

Ye Mo thought of the frozen bodies, perhaps they didn’t have good armor or flying magic artifacts to protect them, that’s why they died.

“Since this place opens every three days, then how come only we can come inside?” Tang Beiwei asked.

Yea, that’s true, they weren’t the only ones coming to the forbidden grounds – why was nobody else here?

There was no way people wouldn’t come here for fear of danger.

“Wait, since this place has that powerful suction force, the things pulled in before should be here. But how come I see nothing but fine sand?” Gan Liang asked.
