Chapter 4524: Danger!
Although the North Pole is vast, Lin Moyu was not without direction.
By comparing Little Tree's and Chaos Spirit's memories with the present geography, they could roughly deduce the ancient location's position within the current North Pole.
After extensive calculation and verification, the spot lay not far from the North Pole's center about ten trillion miles north of the center.
The center itself is the coldest place in the North Pole, with a radius of countless trillions of miles, far too frigid for even native creatures to easily approach.
This central point constantly emits icy cold with the power of the Great Dao, forming a sacred cultivation ground for many perfection stage experts.
The closer to the center, the more perfection experts gather.
It is said that more than ninety percent of all perfection experts in the North Pole reside around this center, along with an elite group of powerful great completion cultivators.
Lin Moyu, however, did not fear the cold.
His physical and soul strength made even the lowest temperatures seem like a gentle breeze.
If he couldn't withstand the environment, few across the entire Desolate Chaos could.
Once the location was fixed, Xiao Peng sped Lin Moyu toward their target.
Meanwhile, Lin Moyu sensed that Supreme Calamity had set his grand formation precisely at the North Pole's center.
He now understood Supreme Calamity's intent.
Each of these formations was placed to attract and absorb high level power from the chaos; the North Pole formation was designed to absorb the energy radiating from its center.
Supreme Calamity would collect, refine, and compress these forces, ultimately turning them into a terrifying attack.
This was part of the contest between Supreme Calamity and "Dao," and represented Supreme Calamity's deadliest counterattack.
"Dao" is strong, but Supreme Calamity's methods are formidable in their own right.
The North Pole is immense; even at Xiao Peng's speed, it took nearly a hundred days to reach the central zone.
Starting from relatively nearby, a lesser completion expert would need ten thousand years to cross it and would probably perish along the way.
Dangers in chaos exist, though Lin Moyu simply ignored them.
Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, as if passing through a membrane, and ice flowers appeared in the void the chaotic energy had frozen into beautiful blossoms swirling in midair.
Such temperature extremes altered the very shape of the chaos; this phenomenon signaled their entry into the North Pole's true center.
Here, the chaos turned solid, and neither lesser nor greater completion cultivators could practice it was reserved for perfection experts.
Further in, lesser completion experts would simply freeze to death.
At the absolute center, even the Great Dao itself would freeze perfection experts might not survive here.
The central area lacked formal boundaries, but its primal forces drew clear distinctions between the strong and the weak.
Lin Moyu picked up an ice flower and felt the flow of chaotic energy within.
The energy was only superficially frozen, but approaching the core, even the chaotic energy within flowers grew more and more frozen, until finally nothing moved at all.
He knew he'd reached a zone that ordinary great completion cultivators could not survive.
It was reserved for only a handful of prodigiously gifted great completion cultivators and the perfection stage beings.
Still, Lin Moyu felt only slight chill almost pleasantly cool.
His body was so robust that external changes barely mattered.
He was now an anomaly a great completion cultivator blithely rampaging through this deadly zone.
Along the way, he met several perfection experts who eyed him curiously but did not intervene.
Here, Lin Moyu noticed some unique ice flowers mirages created by the Quiet Spirit Pearl.
Their strange waves affected quite a few perfection experts.
That even a perfection stage Dao heart could not withstand the Quiet Spirit Pearl showed its terrifying effect.
As Little Tree described, the pearl's true terror is in its subtle, gradual influence North Pole creatures, already naturally calm and passive, were even more quiet under its sway.
As penetration deepened, the Supreme could slowly alter their thinking.
This gentle shift was like chronic hypnosis; the changes were so smooth the affected did not sense anything unnatural.
If pushed further, the Supreme could manipulate their minds.
How far this process had advanced, Lin Moyu didn't know, but suspected the effects ran deep.
The Supreme had clearly possessed the pearls for ages; the groundwork was certainly ready he'd strike when he chose.
Given the scale and timing of the realm wide war, this was a rare opportunity to collect enough flesh and soul for the final sacrifice.
Guided by Little Tree and Chaos Spirit, Xiao Peng searched the indicated area.
"That place is unusual it's not in surface space, but there'll be a channel leading to it.
The space there is stable but not extensive; once inside, you'll sense it."
"The ice flowers there may be colder than elsewhere just a bit, but enough to notice with care."
They gave Xiao Peng every requirement, and he searched carefully.
It couldn't be found by eye or soul power; only by sensing changes in chaos space and natural forces.
Everyone joined the search, and after dozens of days, something finally appeared.
A region less than a hundred meters across had tighter, more stable space than its surroundings.
Each area of chaos differs, but this spot was special.
Ice flowers drifted through it, and, as predicted, became even colder and moved more slowly here affected by invisible forces stabilizing the space.
Xiao Peng shrank down and approached the area.
At its heart, Lin Moyu saw an ice flower an illusion formed by the Quiet Spirit Pearl.
It radiated strange fluctuations, warning all to keep away, so no one else was there.
Lin Moyu removed the special ice flower to reveal a fingernail sized channel in space.
Little Tree said, "Finally found it just touch it and you'll enter."
Just as Lin Moyu prepared to touch it, he suddenly stopped, a warning of danger echoing from deep within his soul.
