We are approaching the northernmost tip of the earth. This place attracts people's imagination with its unique charm, but there are very few adventurers who explore it.

There is no Baiyujing here, this is the kingdom of ice and snow.

Apart from white, there seems to be no room for any other colors. The vast glaciers and frozen oceans form a magnificent picture.

Now it is the last polar night. Although the light that fills the sky and the earth is extremely weak, it can still reflect a layer of silver light on the pure white snow, so that people can still see things.

The wind and snow were lighter at this time. Begonia Duoduo poked her head out with her cute fur hat on her head, looked at the magnificent scenery in the sky, and was unable to recover for a long time.

The rest of the group were also ready to tackle the final leg of the journey.

Thanks to Li An's presence, they no longer have to chew snow to quench their thirst. Instead, they drink hot tea to replenish their body's water and calories.

"Release the pack of wild wolves as well?"

Several people gathered together to talk, but they unconsciously turned up the volume because of the wind. Li An was worried that after living here for a long time, after returning to the Central Plains, these people would still talk like this.

"Let it go." Haitang Duoduo's personality remained the same. Not only did it not diminish in the slightest, but she became even freer after escaping the cage. She pointed at the green light floating in the sky and said, "Although it's not the first time I've seen it, every time I see it it's as dreamy as that."

“That’s called the Aurora.”

Ang Lee took out the steaming food one by one. These had to be eaten while hot. If he was a little late, they would become popsicles that he couldn't even pronounce their names for.

In order to prepare these, the little emperor had to work at full capacity all night long to prepare so many.

Li An had prepared a lot of dry food and dried meat, but the little emperor was not satisfied, so he forcefully added a lot more. If it was just Li An eating alone, it would last him several years.
While preparing, he casually said: "You just need to know the name, and don't ask me how they are formed anymore."

Just take out your mobile phone and you can easily check the formation of the aurora.

But Ang Lee couldn't explain clearly the phenomenon that the Earth's magnetosphere and the sun's high-energy charged particle flow (solar wind) cause the molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere to be excited (or ionized), so he simply stopped Haitang Duoduo from talking.

Li An didn't know how many degrees below zero the temperature was, but the biting cold wind seemed to penetrate the bone marrow, and people might lose consciousness in a short time. The strong wind whistled, mixed with ice and snow particles, and mercilessly whipped all exposed objects, making it difficult for people to stand.

"The aurora in the sky makes me more certain that there are immortals in this world." Haitang Duoduo squinted her eyes while eating. The journey was so boring. For the top few people in the world, except for the severe cold, other things did not pose a threat. It was just some fun.
For example, the huge white bear looks very cute when it is alive!

But its fur is obviously white, so why did Mr. Li say it is transparent?
If she hadn't been able to keep asking Li An all kinds of questions, she felt she wouldn't have been able to make it through even a month.
"Believe it if you want, there's nothing to lose anyway." Li An took out his cell phone, which made Fan Xian's eyes turn complicated. Now, just thinking about the poems he memorized made him feel embarrassed, even more embarrassed than the first time he and Li An conspired to write poems and books.

As the food went down his stomach, he felt a little warmer, so he asked, "Li An, I'm surprised you have a cell phone with you, but it's reasonable. But what do you think about this cell phone being able to connect to the Internet?"

"Uh"

Li An raised his head and pointed to the sky, saying nonsense in a serious tone: "Maybe the satellite in the sky is still intact?"

Fan Xian looked as if he had seen a ghost. He managed to hold back the rhetoric that was treating him like a fool, and continued, "You have a cell phone, so you can look up some of the things you need. I heard that the Empress of Da Qi loves the Dream of the Red Chamber, and she has written me three letters urging me to update."

He looked into Li An's eyes and said word by word, "I don't know who he learned this from, but there's a razor blade in the envelope. You taught me, right?"

"Doesn't this mean that your writing is good? Is it not too much for the readers to be enthusiastic?"

"Is it a good copy?" Fan Xian said unhappily, "You have a cell phone, so continue the next chapter yourself! The distance between the two countries is long, and you don't mind wasting manpower."

"Okay, okay, don't bother me for now!"

Looking at the picture on the phone, it was a map of the route to the temple.

Keep zooming in and out, and make judgments based on your own position.

"If we run at full speed, it should be only a day or two's journey away, we're nearby!" The mountains and rivers here have no regular pattern at all, and no one knows if it was due to the subsequent collision and squeezing of the continents, or the accumulation of ice and snow, which made the surrounding environment far from the description.

In addition, the sun could not be seen now, and several people were a little lost.

With a burst of true energy, the icicles on its body fell off. After a long howl, the snow sculpture slowly turned around, and after a moment, it brought back information for Li Ang.

"This direction?" He looked up and saw a high mountain in front of him. "Let's go. Perhaps this is the last peak!"

Li An collected all the supplies and tents into the space and took the lead to leave.

The people behind him looked at each other and muttered, "I don't know how many times we've mentioned the last mountain!"

But no matter what, I still followed Ang Lee's pace.

Yelu Xuan was now carried on Wang Shisanlang's back, while Yan Xiaoyi held a longbow and was responsible for keeping watch. Whenever he encountered danger, he could always eliminate it from a very far distance, which was very capable and reliable.

In addition to the quiver on his back, he also had a special arrow on his thigh. There was a ring behind the arrow, and a rope woven from unknown material was wrapped around it.

This is a guarantee of safety when climbing snowy peaks!

No matter who accidentally stepped on it and fell, he would rescue them as quickly as possible. He is really considerate!

This is the tacit understanding that the few of them have developed over the past few days.

The speed of several people was not satisfactory, but none of them used Qinggong. This made Haitang Duoduo a little dissatisfied, "Although this world can do it, but it is not necessary to wear such heavy clothes, right? This will affect the movement a little bit."

She said this in front of the Grandmaster, although it might sound a bit like showing off one's proficiency before an expert, but for a warrior above the ninth rank, although she was not completely immune to cold and heat, she was not far away. She was not afraid of mere ice and snow anyway, until her true energy was exhausted!

Li An's body was filled with internal energy, and the wind and snow slowly dissipated not far from him.

Similarly, Yelu Xuan was once again full of energy, and his alien qi circulated more freely. Li An wanted to tell him that perhaps this place was the center of a nuclear explosion before, so the heaven and earth's "vitality" was abundant, and it could be called a "blessed land".
This change also benefited Wang Shisanlang, who was carrying Yelu Xuan on his back.

Not only can you carefully experience the flow of the grandmaster's true energy, but you don't need to expend your own true energy to resist the threats of nature. You just need to focus on your feet and walk to the finish line step by step.

Even though Li An had plenty of energy and strength, he didn't even have the strength to answer Haitang Duoduo. The words they had said in the past month far exceeded what they had said in the past few years. He was tired!

Seeing that Li An did not answer, Fan Xian responded: "It is always good to wear more clothes, so that you can consume less Qi. It has already reached minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius here. Who knows how cold it will be further north? By then, the consumption of Qi will also increase!"

"What is degree?"

"Don't worry about it! Just go on your way."

"Is this the path that Master took before? At that time, Master was only at the ninth level of cultivation." Haitang Duoduo murmured, and finally showed signs of calming down.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian was not wrong in his name.
He interrupted for no apparent reason, "They are indeed ninth-rank, but they are not as lucky as us to bring Li An with them. Can you guess how they survived when they ran out of ammunition and food?"

Li An had amazing hearing, but he just glanced back at the two of them and quickened his pace forward.

As we headed upward, the mountain wind became even stronger.

His whole body was filled with internal energy, showing the power of a grandmaster. He began to mobilize the energy between heaven and earth to break through obstacles in the air, making it easier for those who came after him.

"How did you survive?" Although she felt that there was something fishy in Fan Xian's words, her strong curiosity about her master drove her to continue asking.

It seems that Master Ku He did not tell these to his disciples.

Yes.

He had promised his mother Ye Qingmei that he would not tell anyone else anything about the temple.

Even Sean, who also knew the secret, was warned by the other party that if he dared to leak any information, he would be ruthlessly wiped out.
Fan Xian knew all this because he heard it from Li Ang.

Yelu Xuan, who was at the end, smiled, as if he had guessed something, his smile was full of sarcasm. So, Ku He was not much better than himself! The temple would recognize such a person and give him a method. If he went there at that moment,
"There were more people traveling with Master Ku He than just us." Fan Xian was walking up. Although Li An helped him break the wind, he was suffering from internal injuries and began to pant. He lowered his head slightly, hiding the ambiguity in his eyes and said slowly, "There is not much to eat in this icy and snowy place. Even if they can catch them all, some people will be killed by the cold. That is not enough to eat."

"When food becomes scarcer and scarcer, until there is nothing left, what will they eat?"

Fan Xian's words made the world seem even colder.

Haitang Duoduo is the smartest person in the world. After hearing the words, she only needs to think about it carefully and she can come up with the answer.

But this answer had a huge impact on the image of the perfect person in her mind! The answer to this question was not that she couldn't think of it, but that she would never think in this direction and subconsciously avoided it.

Not everyone in this world is Doraemon or Ang Lee, who has a magical space from which to take things out.

"Since the environment here is so harsh and food is so scarce, why not wait until summer to set out? The water surface will not be completely frozen by then, and with the strength of a ninth-grade cultivator, fishing will be very easy." Haitang Duoduo was very keenly aware of this problem. In her opinion, setting out in summer is the best choice. Not only can fewer people die, but it can also have a certain endurance and reduce the consumption of true energy.

She was not someone who did not know the seriousness of the matter. Although she could not accept her master's actions, she did not criticize others for their behavior.

If you are not at that time and place, how can you say there will be a better solution?
"How do you, Tianyi Dao, describe the temple?"

Fan Xian first raised this question, because the beautification and speculation of the temple vary from place to place in the world, and each country has a different version.

"The temple is in a void, where the sky and the earth are reversed, half is night and half is day."

Haitang Duoduo was still reminiscing when Fan Xian interrupted her, "What you said here is quite correct, but it is not accurate that half of the year is night and the other half is day."

In the past, the wonders of the Arctic were not known to everyone, but it was common knowledge to a certain extent.

It was difficult for Fan Xian to explain to Haitang Duoduo what the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn were, so he ended the topic with a sentence, "The temple may appear on the day when day and night change. If you want to get there before that day, you can only choose to set out at that time."

In this trip, Li Ang's team was very fast, not to mention that they were escorted by two grand masters.

They set out at the end of winter, close to the beginning of spring, and it took them almost two months to get here. By the beginning of summer, there was only one month left - that was the time when the temple would manifest its power!

Ang Lee, who knew the inside story, did not intend to follow the script.

If he could arrive early, that would be great. If he got lost and wasted time, he would force his way in!
He just didn't believe it. Wuzhu had returned to the temple so many times, and he always returned during the transition between polar day and polar night. Since the other party could do it, it meant that the temple was not completely cut off from the outside world.

The far north of this world is too cold, and few people can step into the depths of the ice and come back alive, so there are all kinds of mysterious legends here. However, these can all be explained by science. At least, that's what Li An thinks.

Although, it is unscientific that Wuzhu can exist in the world like a young man without any maintenance.
After three hours of climbing, several people finally reached the top with torches made of special materials!
With such snow and wind, and such severe cold, how many people can reach here without relying on any external aid? Breathing the thin air at this altitude, they all feel a surge of pride in their hearts.

"We are amazing too, right? We are even more amazing than the ninth rank or grandmaster!" Haitang Duoduo smiled brightly, but she forgot that cultivation is also a prerequisite to be able to climb here.

Wang Shisanlang replied, "That makes sense."

No one refuted it and everyone agreed with this point.

“We’ve reached our destination!”

Suddenly, Li An spoke.

His eyes were fixed on the opposite mountain range, where there was the highest peak!

He was not sure if that was the final location of the temple, but his intuition told him that it was special.
Following Li An's guidance, Yelu Xuan also carefully sensed this world: he closed his eyes, removed the Qi to protect himself, and let the cold wind invade him. After a long time, he said: "The vitality of heaven and earth here is very rich, richer than any place I have ever seen! And that mountain is where the vitality is most concentrated!"

The Grand Master can appreciate the natural world and is considered a magical species.

It is normal that he can discover more clues than Ku He, who was at the ninth level at the beginning.

Hearing this, several people showed excitement. In this excitement, there is the joy of reaching the end of a difficult journey, as well as a lingering fear and awe of the unknown place. After all, there is a temple there! (End of this chapter)
