Ancestor Above Chapter 353



353 The ice plains of the extreme north

The facts had proven that Lu Qing’s idea was feasible. Li Yanling transformed into a cloud and headed north. She did not encounter much trouble.

As for Lu Qing himself, he kept a distance from Li Yanling for an entire day as he scouted the area ahead.

If a powerful demon that was stronger than the White ghost emperor or equivalent to a nascent soul cultivator appeared, he would definitely warn Li Yanling to not come any closer. When she activated the celestial cloud top posture, she could perfectly avoid the detection of jiedan stage opponents, but it was hard to say if she reached the Yuanying stage.

He had to try his best to ensure this.

Lu Qing did indeed see a few nascent soul white ghouls on the way. They were already very deep in the ice plains of the extreme north. In history, this type of Level 5 white ghost had only appeared once in the South of the White ghouls. Fortunately, there were nascent soul cultivators in the Qingfeng sect back then, and it was the peak of the Qingfeng sect’s power. Otherwise, who knew what the situation in the Feiyun state and the Xue state would be like now?

When Lu Qing encountered such a situation, he would send a voice transmission to Li Yanling and ask her to take a detour in advance. They would make a huge detour to ensure that it was absolutely impossible to be sensed before they continued to advance.

Lu Qing did not want his daughter-in-law to take too much of a risk during a single investigation. It would be best if nothing happened!

Of course, the deeper Lu Qing went, the more frequently he encountered the level 5 white ghouls. Therefore, after taking so many detours, it was inevitable that his speed would be affected.

Furthermore, the further north one went, the colder it would be.

For golden core cultivators, the cold alone might not have such a big effect. However, in the icy Plains of the extreme north, the temperature was not just cold. The cold wind seemed to carry a cold malice, as if it carried some kind of evil power.

The further north they went, the more so it was.

To a gold core expert like Li Yanling, this might not be much, but she would still feel a little uncomfortable. Especially since she had already been in this environment for more than two months.

They had already reached a very deep place. Lu Qing once again used the teleportation technique and returned to Li Yanling’s side. He reset the time he had left the body.

This time, he had already seen a level 6 white ghost on his way to the North.

That guy was sitting on an Ice Mountain. The entire mountain peak was sculpted into the shape of a throne. The Dharma form white ghost, which was even taller than the mountain peak, sat on it like a giant.

Lu Qing definitely did not dare to let Li Yanling get any closer. Lu Qing’s understanding of the Dharma stage was still not deep enough. He only knew that after they summoned their Dharma, they would be like the legendary ancient Immortals, with their powers reaching the heavens. Lu Qing did not know exactly how strong their senses were.

in this situation, he would definitely not let Li Yanling get close.

Even now, the distance between the two sides was equivalent to a Yuanying stage cultivator flying at full speed for a day. This risk was not worth taking.

However, when Lu Qing looked at the materialization white ghost from afar, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a ruin behind the mountain. There seemed to be a big hole in the middle of the ruins.

Even at this stage, Lu Qing still hoped to see things more clearly.

Therefore, he finally decided to go and explore.

Of course, he didn’t want Li Yanling to go any further. She just wanted to stay where she was. Lu Qing returned to his room and replenished the time he had left his body. Then, he headed in the north-west direction at full speed.

A day later, Lu Qing saw the Dharma form white ghost again. This time, he did not stop and continued to fly forward. When the time to leave the body was up, he would spend karma to make up for the time he had left the body. He would then continue in that direction.

The saying ‘a mountain can run a horse to death’ was not nonsense.

Even though Lu Qing’s flying speed was much faster than a horse’s, he would still face similar problems. He could see it from a distance. However, the body of the materialization white ghost was too huge. As a result, the actual distance was quite far. Even if Lu Qing flew at full speed, it would still take him a long time.

Lu Qing did not have much interest in the materialization white ghost. No matter how many treasures it had, it was not something they could deal with now.

Lu Qing was more concerned about the Big Hole and the ruins behind it.

The two races of the outer world, evil demons and Empyrean gods, were once the enemies of the primordial Immortals. The continuous appearance of white ghouls in the North should be a rare sight in the entire cultivation world. Of course, Lu Qing had reason to suspect that this might have something to do with the immortals in the past.

Even if he didn’t, it wasn’t a bad idea to check out the nascent soul of the White Ghoul. After all, this was a problem that had troubled the Xue state and the entire northern region for at least a few thousand years.

However, no matter how far he was, Lu Qing’s current flying speed was still extremely fast. He quickly arrived in front of the Dharma white ghost.

As he got closer, he realized that this white ghost was even taller and bigger than the Dharma laksanas displayed by Grandmaster Weiyun and Xia Cang at the front line of Pingzhou. It was estimated that the figures of those two people were at most at the waist of the other person.

For those at the Dharma stage, the bigger the Dharma power, the more powerful it was. But at the very least, the bigger it was, the stronger it would not be.

Although the level six white Ghoul was merely sitting on its throne, which was made of mountains, without moving, Lu Qing could sense that this white Ghoul was more powerful than Weiyun and Xia Cang.

I can’t afford to offend you.

Lu Qing observed it for a while. Then, he flew around the beast and looked behind it.

Just like what he had seen before, this was a ruin full of ancient traces. Lu Qing could tell from the ruins that this place used to be a Royal City. It was not as big as the Yan capital. However, other than the Yan capital, perhaps only Wuzhou City could be compared to it in the entire Yan country.

Wuzhou City was the second largest city in Yan country.

Lu Qing believed that the ruins were definitely not built in the past few thousand years. Their history was definitely much longer. That was because, from all the information that Lu Qing had read, be it the records of the Qingfeng sect or the records of the Yan Kingdom, none of them had mentioned that a city had actually existed in the icy Plains of the extreme north.

How could there be a city in such a harsh environment? It must have existed before the White ghouls appeared in large numbers.

Moreover, there was another very important point. How could an ordinary city survive for such a long time in the face of countless white ghouls?

If the destructive white ghouls in the Yan capital, the largest city in the Yan Kingdom, had existed for thousands of years, not even the slightest trace of them would have been left. Only professional archaeologists would be able to find some clues.

After entering the ruins, Lu Qing did discover something unusual.

In these ruins, there was no furniture or supplies, and there was no smoke or fire. There were only buildings. However, Lu Qing could not identify the materials that were used to build these buildings.

Lu Qing even saw a white ghost emperor, who had reached the initial enlightenment stage, suddenly go crazy and attack a half-collapsed house. If this series of heavy strikes had hit an ordinary human city, half of the city would have been smashed into pieces in a short time if it had not been for the cultivators ‘organization.

However, against a half-collapsed house, these attacks were completely useless. They didn’t even stir up the dust on the wall, only sweeping up the snow on the ground. It was as if the hundred ghost king, which was nearly a hundred feet tall, was made of cotton.

This was a little unusual.

Lu Qing continued to head toward the center of the ruins. He saw the Big Hole that he had seen when he was looking from a high place.

This big hole was almost in the middle of the entire city ruins. Looking down, the bottom could not be seen. White ghouls were climbing up the walls of the huge cave.

At first glance, there weren’t many of them, and they weren’t densely packed. Compared to the size of the entire cave, they could even be considered very sparse.

Even so, over the long years, white ghouls had crawled out of this place one after another. One could only imagine how many white ghouls there were in the entire northern ice plains.

It was no wonder that every few decades, there would be a white Ghoul coming south. They would not stop until more than 100000 white ghouls rushed down at once and were killed.

Even the southwards white ghouls were only a small part of the White ghouls ‘population. Along the way, Lu Qing saw many of these brainless evil spirits. They formed groups of varying sizes with the foundation building white ghost generals or the initial enlightenment white ghost kings as their cores. They fought and killed each other.

This kind of situation could be seen almost everywhere in the ice plains of the extreme north. After decades of accumulation, countless evil spirits had died in the White ghouls ‘conquest. However, even so, they could not consume such a large number of them, so there would be a large-scale invasion to the South every few decades.

Lu Qing was now certain that even though he did not know how the hole had been formed, it led to the abyss. There was no way it could escape. If it was not the legendary abyss that had countless levels and countless evil spirits, Lu Qing could not imagine where else could there be a place where monsters could continuously emerge for thousands of years.

The tunnel that led to the abyss was right there. Lu Qing even had a bold idea. can I go in and take a look? ” Perhaps, he would really be able to see for himself what the real abyss looked like!

After he had this thought in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem, right? If there’s a problem, just withdraw in time, Yingluo.”

With this thought in mind, Lu Qing went into the hole.
