980 Ice Sea

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi had been sprinting underground with Mo Tian and hadn't rest for days and nights. Along the way, Jiang Yi didn't try to make any conversation with Mo Tian. This dim-witted boor had an entire body of brawns and had a very frank character. He didn't think too much and simply wanted to provide more information so that 'Mo Xing' could recover his memory.

After traveling for eight days, the duo had traveled over a few hundred thousand miles; and Jiang Yi had been able to get a good gauge on the situation of the Heaven Devil Sect.

The Heaven Devil Sect was ranked no.4 among the Snow Region Ten Sects. They had a million disciples, and all of them were residing in the Heaven Devil Mountain. That mountain was one of the Nine Sacred Mountains, a cultivation treasure place. The Heaven Devil Sect had only conquered the Heaven Devil Mountain a thousand years ago. The sect patriarch, Mo Shen, was among the stronger Demigods. Otherwise, the Heaven Devil Sect wouldn't be ranked no.4 now.

The Heaven Devil Mountain was vast and very tall as well. Countless cave dwellings had been excavated and were separated into layers like terraces. The higher it was, the lesser the number of cave dwellings were while the higher the concentration of heaven and earth essence force it had. The entire Heaven Devil Mountain was separated into eighteen levels, and they were titled as the Eighteen Levels of Heaven. The sect patriarch resided at the highest level, and the levels below were allocated according to battle merits. The higher the battle merits, the higher the level that one would be able to reside in. If one didn't acquire any battle merit for a long period of time, they would be evicted. The level they resided in would be lower, meaning the lesser the concentration of heaven and earth essence force.

Mo Tian and Mo Xing's grandfather was once a peak-stage Heaven Monarch and had obtained some battle merits. Hence, their lineage was lucky enough to reside on the thirteenth level. However, since their grandfather and fathers of Mo Tian and Mo Xing had perished, it was harder for them to acquire battle merits; and they had been demoted repeatedly. Right now, they were residing on the ninth level, if they still couldn't kill any ice beast and acquire any battle merits, they would be demoted again.

It was very easy to obtain battle merits, and it was to kill ice beasts and ice imps. The ice beasts and imps were strange monsters in the snow region. They were birthed from the ice mountains and possessed mysterious energy.

As for… what energy they possessed, Mo Tian didn't know. He simply knew that it could be handed over to the sect's elders and patriarch. Ordinary disciples wouldn't know how to refine these ice beasts and were forbidden to refine it secretly without approval. Anyone discovered to be doing so would be executed without mercy!

The Snow Region Ten Sects all had millions of disciples. Of course, the Heaven Hidden Sect would rarely appear, and so the disciples of the nine sects were all searching for the ice beasts and imps. All of them wanted to obtain more battle merits, to reside in higher levels, to cultivate faster, and to have a higher status in the sect.

Furthermore, not only the Snow Region Ten Sects were hunting for ice beasts and imps. The other hundreds of sects were also hunting them, which resulted in the difficulty to find any ice beasts and imps. There were frequent cases of battles that erupted because of a single ice beast. The disciples from two sects would kill one another, or it might even be a chaotic fight between multiple sects.

Especially within the Ice Sea, where the battles were even more intense. The Ice Sea had the most ice beasts and imps inside, which resulted in more experts hunting the ice beasts in this place.

"Mo Xing, the Ice Sea is just ahead. You must be careful, and if the situation isn't looking good, escape immediately."

Mo Tian who was sprinting at the front had suddenly stopped, and he turned around to advise Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi nodded and immediately extended out his divine senses, and as expected, he had discovered a patch of sea region which was ten miles ahead.

This sea region was deep, and the surface of the sea had formed a thick layer of ice. Jiang Yi couldn't sense any demonic beasts or monsters within the sea and could only spot some fish, but they were pure fish and not sea demons.

Jiang Yi asked curiously, "Older Brother Mo Tian, what are the ice beasts like? Are their bodies huge? What about ice imps?"

"You don't even remember these?" Mo Tian frowned and turned back. Jiang Yi spoke vaguely, "I can roughly remember them. Elder brother, quickly explain them to me and see if I can get my completely memories back."

"Oh, oh!"

Mo Tian didn't mind and explained casually, "The ice beasts aren't big and are generally the size of a human. They are completely snow-white and have fur. They have appearances like seals and have long tails! They have incredibly tough defenses and are surprisingly fast. They mainly use their sharp fangs and steel tail for attacks. The ice imps are much smaller, like the size of babies. They have transparent bodies and are like apparitions, and they mainly use soul spirit attacks! Of course… there are also ice beast kings and ice imp kings. Without our strength, we will certainly die if we encounter any. No one is a match for them, unless for the Demigods. Then again, Mo Xing doesn't have to worry. Ice beast kings and ice imp kings only appear once every several years. Our luck isn't that bad!"

Finishing his statement, the duo had already arrived at the Ice Sea. Mo Tian didn't go above the sea or under the sea. Instead, he was digging in the layer of ice and traveling within it. The Heaven Devil Sect's sharp claws are too sharp and were comparable to Jiang Xiaonu. From the looks of it, this layer of ice should also be tough like steel, but Mo Tian's sharp claws could break it easily.

"Don't move, there is someone above and don't scout them either."

After traveling for over twenty miles, Mo Tian suddenly stopped; and Jiang Yi had also quickly paused and didn't dare to scout with his divine senses. He imitated Mo Tian and placed his hand on the layer of ice to sense the waves from the surface of the ice.

As expected!

Not long after, there were muffled footsteps, and it sounded like a herd of elephants running across as every step would cause a slight tremor on the surface of the ice. Mo Tian had silently transmitted a message: "They are from the Mammoth Race!"

"Mammoth Race?"

Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt. Mo Tian took a glance a Jiang Yi and transmitted a message to explain: "You forgot about the Mammoth Race as well? They are from the Dragon Elephant Sect which is ranked no.7 in the Snow Region Ten Sects. The Mammoth Race are natural-born giants and stand over 6 meters tall in their adult years. As long as they reach adulthood, their defenses, and strengths naturally are comparable to the Heaven Monarch Realm. But their speed is naturally slower! Of course… if it is a regular Mammoth Race, I will be able to deal with them without any problems."

Reaching adulthood would give them defenses and strength that are comparable to Heaven Monarchs?

Jiang Yi was silently appalled. This massive world truly had all sorts of mystical things, and the races that had survived from ancient times were truly special. Ordinary humans who had average talents might not even break through to the Heaven Monarch Realm after cultivating diligently and desperately for dozens of years. However, this Mammoth Race only required to reach adulthood and would naturally have the strength to barely reach the Heaven Monarch Realm. It was truly infuriating in comparison.

There were over ten members of the Mammoth Race above, and Mo Tian didn't dare to act recklessly. They waited motionlessly for 15 minutes, and after the Mammoth Race members were long gone, he then continued to lead Jiang Yi to advance. Jiang Yi had been traveling with Mo Tian for half a day, and when he noticed Mo Tian who had been moving within the layer of ice, he asked with confusion, "Elder brother Mo Tian, where are the ice beasts and the ice imps normally found? Didn't you say that the Ice Sea had more of them? Why haven't we discovered any until now?"

"This brat really seemed to be damaged quite severely in the head. You seemed to have forgotten everything."

Mo Tian let out a deep sigh and said, "The ice beasts are normally moving under the sea, and the ice imps are fond of moving on the surface of the sea. We cannot go under the sea or above the surface of the sea, because we are safest in the layer of ice. Our Heaven Devil Race is originally suited to travel underground, and our race's traits are our bizarre magic. We are suited for sneak attacks and frontal attacks aren't our forte. Understand?"

"Understand. Elder brother Mo Tian is really incredible."

Jiang Yi took the opportunity to bootlick, causing Mo Tian to grin. He then continued to lead Jiang Yi silently and advanced. One hour later, his ears moved, and his eyes flashed with black light as he yelled out. "There is an ice imp at the front, and it is battling with someone. Mo Xing, you wait here, I will go check. If I cannot defeat the enemy, you will provide support to me!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi nodded repeatedly. Mo Tian's sharp claws moved rapidly as he dug a tunnel towards at the front silently, and he was much faster. He might have a big body, but he was silent when he moved and was like a ghost.

"Ice imp?"

Jiang Yi extended his divine senses out with curiosity and examined into the distance. He wanted to see what exactly this ice imp looked like. He too wanted to see the battle between an ice imp and an ancient race.

After Jiang Yi examined, he had gotten a shock instead!
