Chapter 979: Mo Xing
Snow Region Ten Sects. It referred to the Savage Snow Region’s top ten sects!
In fact, the snow region had hundreds of major and minor sects, but those sects without any Demigods weren’t qualified to be on the rankings.
The ancestors of these sects were all expelled into the snow region by the demon race back when the demon race ruled the continent. Many of them were forced to leave their homes and escape. When the Mystic Thearch managed to drive the demon race to the Endless Deep Sea, these sects had already gotten used to life in the extreme north and maintained their status quo.
Of course, there were many of the clans that had gone back to the East Imperial Continent to occupy their respective major regions. Many clans were eradicated and had vanished from the long river of history for eternity.
In the Savage Snow Region, the Heaven Hidden Sect was the absolute hegemon.
However, the Heaven Hidden Sect never got involved in the dispute within the snow region. They were like the mighty emperor at the top. As long as no one provoked them, they wouldn’t give any regards and allowed the rest of the nine sects to occupy the rest of the snow region.
In the hearts of the citizens of the snow region, those tens of millions of vast lands that were near the East Imperial Continent weren’t considered the snow region. The area that Jiang Yi was in right now wasn’t considered the true snow region. There were basically no resources in that area before and no signs of life. It was a barren land which was very near the Wu, Ye, and Yi Clans’ territories, and they didn’t wish to make any contact with the citizens of the East Imperial Continent and were very xenophobic.
Even though they were xenophobic, the snow region had plenty of intense and miserable internal disputes. For hundreds of thousands of years, apart from the Heaven Hidden Sect of the Snow Region Ten Sects, the rest of the nine sects had been replaced repeatedly. Hundreds of sects were contesting over the hegemon positions that these ten sects had and had been at war for hundreds of thousands of years. There were countless casualties, and many sects had been utterly erased.
Everything was because of resources! To be exact, it was because of the sacred mountains.
In the extreme north of the snow region, there were nine sacred mountains; and they had natural spirit concentration arrays. As long as one cultivated in the mountains, the speed would be faster; and the closer to the peak of the mountains, the higher the concentration of heaven and earth essence force. The cultivation speed at the peak of the mountain would be a few hundred times as compared to the outside.
Jiang Yi was currently heading north and wanting to find a sacred mountain, the Heaven Devil Mountain.
He had obtained information from that Heaven Devil Sect’s disciple and had an idea. He was going to infiltrate the Heaven Devil Sect and think of ways to become a core disciple of the sect or to become something like an elder. He would then try to find obtain the information regarding the Heaven Hidden Sect from the Heaven Devil Sect Patriarch.
The true snow region was near the extreme north of the Stellarsky Domain, and the spatial zone here was abnormally secure. When he was in this vicinity, he was only able to execute the Heaven Evasion to travel small distances, and it was basically impossible for him to find the Heaven Hidden Sect. Furthermore, this snow region had countless sects. If he ventured around randomly, he might be pursued by countless sects, ultimately leading to the emergence of the Demigod experts.
If Jiang Yi could use the Smelting Divine Furnace as he desired, he might be able to fight against these Demigods. However, all his power of stars was depleted, and if he relied on his own strength, he would only be able to kill a Five-Star expert. Thus, Jiang Yi had to be prudent.
Most importantly, the Heaven Hidden Sect hated men; and even if he could find the Heaven Hidden Sect, he would probably have to face death. Hence, he had to infiltrate the Heaven Devil Sect to find out all the information about the snow region before he could make future plans.=
Swish!
He had turned into the appearance of that Heaven Devil Sect’s disciple, and both his hands were turned into two obvious dragon’s claws, which weren’t hands of a normal human. His eyes were also flashing with black light, and his appearance was exactly the same as that Heaven Devil Sect’s disciple earlier. That person didn’t divulge any information regarding the Heaven Devil Sect. Jiang Yi had no choice but to venture around randomly to find the Heaven Devil Mountain.
“Mo Xing!”
After sprinting for half a day, Jiang Yi suddenly heard a calling; and the surface of the ground burst open. There was a middle-aged man who had similar looks to him and the exact same dragon claws who rushed out from the ground. That man asked curiously, “Did you encounter any ice beast and ice imps?”
“There isn’t any!”
Jiang Yi impersonated that person’s voice and spoke in a daze, “Did you capture any?”
“Sign. Nothing yet…”
The middle-aged man looked much stronger than the Heaven Devil Sect’s disciple that Jiang Yi transformed into. That man had a square head and big ears, and a single glance was enough to know that he was a boor. He shook his head and spoke with a gloomy tone, “The Ice Sea has more ice beasts, but it is a pity that the place is very dangerous. The other sects send too many people there. This time, if we are unable to capture any ice beast or imp, it will be hard for us to fulfill our task. There is still one month, but it seems like we will be evicted from the nine mountains this time.”
“What nine mountains?”
Jiang Yi casually asked with curiosity, and once he spoke, he immediately knew he said something wrong. As expected, that middle-aged man stared at him with suspicious and asked, “Mo Xing, is something wrong with your head?”
“Uh… that’s right!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes had radiance as he nodded and said, “I had encountered a member of the Heaven Divine Sect, and my soul spirit had been injured by them. There are many things that I cannot recall right now. I don’t even remember what your name s, but I feel that you are very familiar, as though you are a great brother of mine.”
“Nonsense!”
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said, “I am your elder cousin brother. Mo Xing, is your soul spirit really injured? Let me take a look? This goddamned Heaven Divine Sect. They are always going against our Heaven Devil Sect.”
Jiang Yi got startled and quickly used the Mirage Divine Ability to turn his soul spirit into a mess. When that person extended his divine senses in, he immediately got shocked. His eyes widened up and spoke with much concern, “Mo Xing, what did your soul spirit turn into? Oh, my. In our lineage, you and I are the strongest. Now that you are in this injured state, your attack strength will be weaker. What should we do…?”
Seeing the middle-aged man moaning and groaning with a face of agony, Jiang Yi was silently in delight as this person was just like a muddle-head and couldn’t even recognize his own younger cousin brother. Although Jiang Yi had used the Mirage Divine Ability, any meticulous person would be able to see some flaws. However, the reasoning of the head getting messed up was actually a great excuse.
Jiang Yi paused for a moment and spoke to the middle-aged men, “You are my elder cousin brother? No wonder I find you so familiar and so amiable. What is your name? What lineage are we a part of? Tell me and see if it can trigger my memory?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The middle-aged man slapped his head and suddenly realized that this was a good method and said, “Mo Xing, listen carefully. I am your elder cousin brother, Mo Tian. Our lineage only has seven of us now. Our grandfather is Mo Hun, but he died in the hands of the Heaven Divine Sect, ten years ago. Your father—Mo Qi—and my father—Mo He—had all died in combat. Third Uncle Mo Shan is also crippled and is currently not doing well. Your mother, Mo Qu, had passed away three years ago. You are the only one left in your family…”
This Mo Tian was a boor as expected. Jiang Yi casually asked, and he had told so much information to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was extremely ecstatic as his current disguise was the best person to be with this boor which allowed him to ask everything clearly.
Most importantly, Mo Xing didn’t have any other close relatives; and there were only a few members from Mo Tian’s family, his Third Uncle’s family, making the possibility of him getting exposed to be very low.
“Mo Xing, did you recall anything?”
Mo Tian explained everything in detail and opened his eyes widely to look at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi shook his head and replied, “I didn’t recall anything, but I have some impression of my father and mother. It is probably due to the damage to my soul spirit, and it will recover slowly. Elder cousin brother doesn’t have to worry.”
“En, en, that is true!”
Mo Tian thought for a bit and stomped his foot. “Mo Xing, you should go back home to rest first. Leave the matter of the ice beast to me. I will make a trip to the Ice Sea now. If we are evicted from the nine mountains, it will be even harder to cultivate in the future!”
“Don’t…”
When Jiang Yi saw that Mo Tian was going to go, he quickly pulled onto Mo Tian. How was he going to sneak into the Heaven Devil Sect after Mo Tian left? What if he was exposed?
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, “Elder brother, I will go with you. If we have to die, let us die together. My soul spirit might be injured, but I have comprehended a new ability this time. I think it is very powerful and should be able to kill an ice beast effortlessly.”
“Sigh… alright then. Your character has always been like this! Let’s go!”
Mo Tian shook his head and rushed into the underground. Jiang Yi had also entered the tunnel that Mo Tian dug and followed behind quickly. As long as he could follow Mo Tian for a period of time, he would be able to completely disguise as a Heaven Devil Sect’s disciple and allowing him to quickly rise up in the Heaven Devil Sect!
