The world became vast, with the occasional cry of a hawk echoing through the sky, making the world seem even wider.
The frigid gales of the Extreme North were blowing, and the temperature began to drop. Their clothes billowed in the wind, like birds spreading their wings.
Ming Tian took a thick coat from his storage Soul Tool and draped it over Yan Qingwan's shoulders.
Feeling the heavy coat, Yan Qingwan was startled and turned around to see Ming Tian's concerned gaze.
"Brother Ming Tian, I'm not cold."
"You should wear more. It wouldn't be good if you caught a cold."
"Mmm, it's okay. I feel great. I've never been to a place like this before. It feels like I'm the only one in the world, and the world is so vast and magnificent."
Yan Qingwan spread her arms, feeling everything around her. The wind whipped through her hair, and the damp wind from the icy sea brushed against her face. She closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.
"Ming Tian, Xiao Wan is a bit more romantic than you. You should hug Xiao Wan from behind right now and experience the vastness of this frozen plain with her, instead of just worrying about whether Xiao Wan is cold or not."
Meng Qianji, who was behind them, teased with a laugh. They were walking, enjoying the scenery of the frozen plain. There were only the three of them on the entire grassland.
Ming Tian's face flushed slightly at Meng Qianji's teasing. Yan Qingwan also felt a little embarrassed and gave Meng Qianji a reproachful look.
"Master, we'd better hurry. The day is getting late, and where would we find a place to stay on this vast frozen grassland?"
Ming Tian changed the subject, looking around.
The distant sky was deep blue, changing gradually from far to near. The snow-capped mountains seemed close, but they still needed to travel a long distance to reach them. They needed to reach a city at the northernmost point of the Douluo Continent and cross the ice sea, which was dotted with icebergs, to reach the core area of the Extreme North.
"You don't need to worry about that. If worst comes to worst, we won't rest and go directly to Longyear City, the northernmost city. It's a mysterious city that doesn't belong to Heaven Dou or Star Luo. No one knows when it was established. There, you can see the beautiful aurora. The people there live far away from the inland of the continent, and it's said that birth and death are not allowed."
"Not allowed to be born or die?"
The two youngsters were intrigued by what they heard. They had never heard of such a city.
"Yes, it's a mysterious city. Legend has it that they are the descendants of the God of Destiny, predicting the past and the future. Everyone has a long lifespan. They are near the Extreme North, guarding a secret. They can only obtain one Soul Ring in their lifetime, but the Soul Ring can bring them endless power and mysterious skills. That is the God-Given Soul Ring of the God of Destiny."
"Are there such strange beings in the world? Master, you know so much!"
"Hehe, not really. Back when I was in your Sacred Spirit Church, in order to pursue eternal life and know the future of the Douluo Continent, the Sacred Spirit Church organized a group of people to enter Longyear City."
"And then?"
"We didn't even enter the city gates. We encountered a City-Guardian Beast. The City-Guardian Beast was at the hundred-thousand-year level, and no one was its match at that time, so we had to retreat in defeat."
"Then if we go to Longyear City again now, won't we have to face the City-Guardian Beast?"
Ming Tian was shocked when he heard this.
"Disciple, are you stupid? I was talking about back then. Back then, I was only a Soul King. The strongest person was only a Soul Saint, so of course, I couldn't beat the City-Guardian Beast. But after so many years, I've become a Soul Douluo, and, we also have a cheat, so we don't need to fight at all."
"Cheat?"
Ming Tian was stunned and thought of the Heart of the Sea God in his storage Soul Tool.
He channeled his soul power, and the Heart of the Sea God appeared in his palm.
"That's right, we have the Heart of the Sea God. The Heart of the Sea God has extremely strong concealment abilities. Even Qian Suoning was fooled. It's very easy to fool a soul beast that's not very bright."
"That's right, so you are the chosen one! We obtained the Heart of the Sea God, which means we can deceive everyone's eyes and reach places others can't..."
The azure Heart of the Sea God in Ming Tian's hand faintly emitted light. This scene appeared in a bronze mirror, and Meng Qianji's words came out from the mirror.
"The Heart of the Sea God, it's the Heart of the Sea God. The moment it entered our Extreme North, I sensed it."
"Suona, go, take the Heart of the Sea God from them. Something divine shouldn't be in the hands of mortals."
A person wearing a cloak and Gothic clothes turned their head and said. Their face was hidden under the cloak, and their voice was hoarse.
The gray cloak fluttered, and a crucifix symbol was faintly visible.
"Yes, Female Overseer."
The woman called Suona said respectfully, revealing seven Soul Rings. They were actually three purple and three black! And there was also a blue Soul Ring that did not belong to any sequence!
With a flash of light, the person called Suona disappeared.
"Great Female Overseer, the Third Female Overseer has tracked down the whereabouts of that scorpion. Should we make a move?"
After Suona left, another person came over and said.
"That guy with Extreme Ice? We should make a move. Be careful in everything. Those who dare to obstruct our plan, whether soul beasts or anyone, must die..."
What Meng Qianji and the others didn't know was that the Heart of the Sea God had saved them from Qian Suoning, but it also led them into the hands of an even more terrifying opponent, from the Extreme North...
"Master! Look, isn't that a village over there!"
Yan Qingwan looked into the distance, and with her sharp eyes, she spotted something that looked like houses in the distance and pointed.
Ming Tian and Meng Qianji looked in the direction Yan Qingwan was pointing, and they really found a village. The houses in the village were built of stone, with round roofs, mostly cylindrical, and also had square and triangular roofs. Each house had a cross hanging on its roof. When they got closer, they found that it was really a village like a secluded paradise, located on this frozen plain.
"Oh my god! There are really people! We don't have to stay on the grassland tonight!"
Yan Qingwan shouted happily and ran towards the village.
Ming Tian and Meng Qianji exchanged glances, both feeling a little strange.
A village had appeared on this uninhabited grassland?
There must be something fishy about this.
Ming Tian and Meng Qianji quickly followed, fearing that Xiao Wan would be in danger.
The three of them came to this so-called village one after another. When they got closer, they really found that it was a place to live. Everyone felt incredible.
The people in the village were busy with their own lives, as if no one paid any attention to them. The village was more like a small town, with stone streets, smoke rising from each household, and even commercial streets.
The three of them entered this town in a rash manner. The town didn't even have a boundary marker, and they didn't know what it was called.
"Excuse me, where is this..."
"Hey, excuse me, auntie, where is this?"
"Kids, where are you?"
Ming Tian and the other three asked the passersby on the street, but the passersby's eyes were indifferent, even empty, without any emotion, and they just kept busy with their own affairs.
The three asked several people, and it was all the same situation - ignored, shaking their heads, and then continuing with their own business...
No one noticed them. Various sounds still rang out on the street, the cries of children, the shouts of vendors, the clatter of old machinery, and the elderly sitting quietly in their houses, with a fire burning in the hearth.
Everything was eerily terrifying...
"Clack" At the end of the street, a door opened, and a girl came out. The girl had blue hair and blue eyes, and she was carrying a basket, as if she was going out to buy something for dinner.
Seeing the strangers on the street, she was stunned for a moment and asked in a pleasant voice:
"Excuse me, who are you..."
