Chapter 663: Chapter 407 To the Polar Region_1

The two conversed for an hour, detailing the situation of the city one by one. Then, Logan clasped his hands together, preparing to leave with Bart Cloud.

Facing great pressure, Peregrine Azure swore in his heart to manage the city well and hoped to present Logan with a flourishing scene upon his return from the Extreme Cold Lands.

Logan and Bart Cloud arrived at the Teleportation Array, only to find it dim and lifeless as if it hadn’t been used for many years, and several pillars of the array were closed off.

Luckily, Logan was an Array Master himself. After a thorough inspection, he understood that several Array Spirits had been taken away, most likely by the previous City Lord.

The former Lord intended to flee to the Extreme Cold Lands and, during that time, didn’t wish for anyone else to escape there, so he simply sabotaged the entire array. He planned to repair it when it was time for him to escape, making it very difficult for anyone who arrived later and wasn’t an Array Master to spot the trick.

Logan used a hundred Spirit Stones to repair the veins of several Array Spirits. Suddenly, the Teleportation Array burst into a brilliant golden light as the Spatial Law enveloped the area.

“Let’s go,” said Logan, inserting ten thousand Spirit Stones to fuel the Teleportation Array, then he and Bart Cloud stood on the array and disappeared.

After some time, they found themselves on an endless icy plain blanketed with heavy snow, both of them shivering slightly.

Even though both of their realms were above Dominator, and logically their bodies should not fear the wind and cold, the Extreme Cold Lands were different; the snow here carried a sliver of the Great Law Principles.

Using spiritual energy to protect their bodies, they finally ceased to feel cold. Logan exclaimed with a sigh, “Is this the Extreme Cold Lands? It is indeed astounding.”

“The Extreme Cold Lands lie in the far north, stretching for a hundred thousand miles. It’s as vast as several Central Regions. There are rumors that numerous Sanctuary Powerhouses have come here to live in seclusion.”

Bart Cloud chuckled, then asked, “With no end in sight and no direction, which way should we go? Should we use our divination to scout the path?”

“We’ll follow the direction from which the Great Wind blows. In the Extreme Cold Lands, it’s best to use divination sparingly. If the Spirit Stone gets frozen, it could affect the entire Sea of Consciousness.”

Taking a long stride, Logan continued to converse with Bart Cloud as they walked. Where in the Extreme Cold Lands was the Ancient Secret Realm? Currently, Logan had no clue, but it seemed more probable to head north.

The Extreme Cold Lands had existed for tens of thousands of years. Although perennially covered in ice and snow, it wasn’t suitable for cultivators to reside or for the world’s myriad creatures to prosper. However, the resources and Heavenly Treasures it bred were plentiful, like the rare Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Even many strong ones believed that spending ten or twenty years in the Extreme Cold Lands was more beneficial than a hundred years of experience elsewhere, for it tempered one’s spirit. Since it wasn’t ruined by a large number of cultivators, the preserved Great Law Principles made enlightenment more accessible.

After walking for two or three hours, they had covered the distance of a hundred worlds, yet the plain was still endless, and the cold seemed to intensify. Even with their spiritual energy as a shield against the chill and snow, the biting wind felt like knives.

Fortunately, they soon encountered a Demon Beast. It was barely discernible in the snow, and if not for its aura, Logan would have failed to recognize it.

Logan’s face lit up with joy, and he approached the Beast in one step. This Demon Beast had only reached the throne realm, making it easy for Logan to intimidate.

“Do you know where the Ancient Secret Realm is?” Logan asked. The Beast shook its head, either not understanding the question or unaware of the Ancient Secret Realm.

Logan could only let it go and prepared to continue the search with Bart Cloud. They walked for an indeterminate length of time until they reached a glacier. Although it was flanked by steep cliffs, it was covered with many spiritual herbs that twinkled and swayed amidst the ice and snow.

However, at that moment, Logan’s attention was caught by a trace of blood on the distant snow. Upon closer inspection, they found an injured Demon Beast, clearly not native to the Extreme Cold Lands but more common in the Central Regions, with a cultivation level reaching the Great Perfection of the throne realm.

Logan used an Elixir to treat the Beast and then inquired, “How did you end up in the Extreme Cold Lands? This place is not suitable for a Beast like you, which cannot withstand the cold.”

The Beast did not answer but bowed several times to Logan, its eyes filled with urgency. It then began to speak human language,

“Honored predecessors, I am a Demon Beast from the Cloud Sky Sect of the Eastern Territory. My Young Master came to the Extreme Cold Lands seeking opportunities. He was injured and surrounded by a demon cult sect. I was sent out with great effort by the Young Master to find outsiders for rescue. Could you save my Young Master?”

Logan and Bart Cloud were taken aback. They had encountered another Demon Sect, which made Logan wonder if he was cursed to always cross paths with Demon Cult Sects. From the very beginning with the Demonic Sky Gate, to the Blood Drinking Sect in the Central Region, and now even in the Extreme Cold Lands, another Demon Sect had appeared.

In the Ancient World, there were four major areas: the desolate Western Wasteland, the strong clouded Central Regions, the northernmost Extreme Cold Lands, and the rampant Eastern Territory with its Demon Sects.

Better to mind one’s own business, Logan was here to find the Ancient Secret Realm, and he and Bart Cloud were still confused in the Extreme Cold Lands. They really needed someone to enlighten them. If they were to rescue the Young Master, obtaining a map of the Extreme Cold Lands would be beneficial.

Though Logan was tempted, to ensure no mistakes, he still asked, “What is this Demon Sect? What’s the highest combat power of those besieging your Sect? I need to gauge the situation!”

“The Demon Sect is called the Orthodox Demonic Sect. This time, they’ve sent out one Half-step Saint Seat, ten Dominators at Great Perfection, and more than thirty at the Throne Realm,” replied the Beast.
