C379 Ice-fire Island
C379 Ice-fire Island
Ice-fire Island were situated in the northern corner of the North Sea. They were one of the few public islands in the North Sea, and were not occupied by any single clan or sect.
This time, Beiming Mountain only had four spots, this was already considered a lot.
Many sects like the Beiming Mountain only had one or two spots, and did not even have the qualifications to participate.
It was also due to this fact that the Darknorth Ancestor s whose North Sea could shake the world back then maintained at least five spots according to the unwritten rules of North Sea. Now that the Darknorth Ancestor was missing, no one dared pat their chest and say that they were dead.
After all, killing a Tribulation Stage Master was as difficult as killing a god.
Therefore, no matter how the other great sects suppressed their Beiming Mountain, they could not strip the participants of their Beiming Mountain. It was just that the number of people participating in the competition had been decreasing from twenty all those years ago, until now, there were only four. Because Weiqing had killed Shangguan Qingyun, he seized a spot in the Beiming Mountain and was representing him in participating in the North Sea hunt. Those disciples simply did not dare to say anything. Of course, Weiqing would have to pay a price to obtain the position.
It didn't matter if one participated in the North Sea Hunting or not, but for the treasures that they stole, they had to give twenty percent of their Beiming Mountain as compensation.
Weiqing didn't think much of it and directly agreed to Tu Yue's request.
Furthermore, it would be better to think of a way to fish for a few more good things in the North Sea than to bargain over the remuneration here. If he could reap some rewards from North Sea Hunt this time, and adding the resources he had stolen from the Darknorth Ancestor and Taihsing Sun, Weiqing would possess the qualifications to establish his own sect!
Now that Weiqing had the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Tower, this defensive treasure, and the Wind Calming Bead, this sharp weapon to fight against hurricanes, he was obviously very confident.
They set off early in the morning and only arrived at the Ice-fire Island at dusk.
The area of Ice-fire Island was extremely large, and could be considered as a large island out of the thousands of islands within the North Sea. The reason why Ice-fire Island were not seized by others was because not only was the atmosphere of the Ice-fire Island extremely cold all year round, the most important reason was that at night, if one looked at the word "fire" from afar, the Ice-fire Island were like a ball of red flame floating on the sea surface. Simply speaking, one could not feel even a trace of the spirit energy of heaven and earth on the Ice-fire Island, and it was much weaker than the spirit energy on the streets of large cities.
As a result, in the eyes of the cultivators, the Ice-fire Island was just a piece of useless land, which was why it had become the resting place for the North Sea hunt.
The evening's Ice-fire Island was very beautiful. It was as if the sun had risen in the middle of the sky and appeared on the sea. Hundreds of small islands were scattered around the Ice-fire Island, and they were filled with ships. Each sail had a flag on it, symbolizing their sects.
"Shall we just stay out the night?"
The Third Miss was a girl, Tu Mo was a Eldest Senior Brother, and Weiqing was a foreign delegate. The area of the Ice-fire Island was enormous and had long been used by large sects and clans like the Six Fans Gate as a resting place. As for the outer islands, they could be temporarily stayed in during the day and be flooded at night.
Because they were unable to establish themselves in the Ice-fire Island, small sects and clans could only spend the night on the ship, and could not avoid some ups and downs.
The entire sea was bustling with activity, with bonfires burning on the deck. There were many people, but it was not chaotic at all.
Tu Wuya stopped the boat on a reef at the outer edge of the Ice-fire Island and tied a metal rope to a huge rock on the island. Three other small sects also tied their ships to a large reef. These people only glanced at the banners on their respective decks, not saying another word.
The scale of this year's North Sea Hunt had reached an unprecedented level. Conservatively estimating that five thousand young talents would participate, and in the next fairly long period of time, only around two thousand would be able to return alive.
The North Sea Hunt had been passed down for more than a thousand years, and there were some relatively simple rules.
For example, the Ice-fire Island prohibited causing trouble or killing each other, and once there was a malicious provocation, the Monitoring Group had the right to revoke the disciple's qualification to participate. If the matter was serious, the entire sect or clan's qualification would be cancelled, and this point, even if Six Fans Gate was the number one sect in the entire North Sea Profound Realm, they would not act rashly.
After all, no matter how strong one's Six Fans Gate was, it was impossible for them to be enemies with the entire North Sea.
Weiqing and the other two sat down on the deck. As they were the lowest ranked among the three, Tu Wuya took out the dry rations on the boat and took out a large bag of dried fruits and dried meat that was sold by Beiming Mountain. He also took out some dried medicinal herbs to replenish his strength.
"Hehe, I don't dare to say anything else, at least our Beiming Mountain's food is pretty good."
Tu Wuya went to the reef and picked up some ice cubes, placing them on a metal basin, then poured some oil on it and lit up a fire piston. Very quickly, the ice was burning red like a brand, and it started to turn bright red, Tu Wuya not only had a big mouth, but he was also a glutton. He placed the seasoned ice and dried meat onto the fire and laughed: "Hehe, this Ice-fire Island, let's not talk about other things, it's pretty good for making barbecues!
This was Weiqing's first time seeing ice cubes being used as charcoal.
The Third Miss laughed out loud. "Only the ice cubes from the Ice-fire Island have such a miraculous effect. Otherwise, why would this place be called the Ice-fire Island? If you look closely, the surrounding ocean is completely black, and only the Ice-fire Island is much brighter, it's not because thousands of people are gathered here simply, but because the Ice-fire Island itself is emitting red light. This kind of red light will extinguish the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but it can be used as fuel. Even now, there is no clear explanation for the reason behind it. "
Tu Mo was a very taciturn person. Along the way, other than occasionally talking with Third Miss, even Tu Wuya was indifferent, and said slowly: "I heard from Sect Leader that there might be some rare earth fire around this Ice-fire Island. However, over all these years, no one has been able to find it."
As Tu Wuya grilled meat with a brush on the shelf, he said, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you really believe what his big mouth says? I heard that they went down to the seas a thousand meters below Ice-fire Island, but didn't find anything. Instead, it made the red light brush here even more powerful than before, and after that, didn't they invite a geological expert to do so, saying that Ice-fire Island was an extremely rare natural phenomenon? "
Weiqing picked up the dried fruit and took a bite, then asked: "What's Earth Fire?"
Tu Wuya shrugged his shoulders and said, "Earth Fire is just like love. Everyone has heard of it, but no one has seen it before."
Weiqing laughed, he never thought that this crow's beak would be able to say such philosophical words.
