In the North Ice Realm, pure white snow blanketed the earth everywhere. The sky was also the color of the glacier, the cold wind would blow past occasionally......
Ning Maner had lived in the Quiet Forest in the past, so she was not used to this kind of extreme cold.
This coldness was not something that thick clothing could really prevent. After all, the creatures living in this glacier were all Dominators and some were even Immortals. Normal people would have their organs invaded by the ice toxin in the air simply by staying here for a while.
Snow fell slowly from the sky, Ning Maner stood at the edge of a glacier cliff.
Beneath the cliff lay a gruesome battlefield. Countless corpses of glacier monsters were strewn everywhere on the ground, stretching far into the distance.
Ning Maner was not really fond of such gory scenes. However, she knew that every living creature in order to grow used the lives of other living things as their foundations. It was necessary to engage in battles if Chu Mu wanted to become a powerful individual.
Recently, due to Chu Mu and Ning Maner constantly wandering around within the North Ice Dynasty, the rulers of the North Ice Dynasty had already been keeping a keen eye on them.
Even if Chu Mu did not actually seek out the high ranking iceberg monsters, there would always be some powerful glacier monsters coming after them in order to chase them out of their territory.
Unfortunately, those North Ice Realm experts fell before Chu Mu, simply turning into experience for Chu Mu’s soul pets.
After going through a long battle, Chu Mu jumped up the glacier cliff.
Ice Air Fairy followed right behind him.
In this glacier realm, Chu Mu mainly wanted to train Ning’s strength. Now, Ning was already at Immortal rank, advancing towards the low class Immortal rank.
Other than that, Zhan Ye had also reached the Immortal rank through self evolution with the help of Ning Maner.
Little Hidden Dragon kept devouring the souls within this North Ice Realm, both of its souls had now stepped into the Immortal rank.
Although Devil Tree Battle Soldier and Binding Wind Spirit had not fought for a long time, Ning Maner’s powerful nurturing ability had also performed perfectly on them, allowing them to step into the Immortal rank too.
Once all of Chu Mu’s soul pets had become Immortal rank, his soul remembrance grew once again. He was now a fourth remembrance Spirit Immortal, the power of his devil transformation had gained another boost.
Chu Mu had estimated that in order to complete all of those improvements, he would normally have needed at least four to five years and that too with the assistance of Immortal Items.
However, when he brought over Ning Maner to train, he had only ended up using less than one year to achieve it. Such cultivation speed had truly astonished Chu Mu, it was no wonder that those leader rank people would bash their heads for the Messiah Tree seed!
After the battle, Chu Mu unsummoned his soul pets.
This battle had exhausted the stamina of Chu Mu’s soul pets. Meanwhile, in the frequent battles over the past year, Chu Mu kept swapping his soul pets repeatedly and they did not really get any decent rest. It was time to let them take a good break.
Chu Mu walked back to Ning Maner. He saw the snowflakes sticking on her hair and carefully swiped them away.
“Big brother, I’m cold,” said Ning Maner, acting a little pampered. She wrapped her arms around Chu Mu’s waist and hugged him tightly.
Chu Mu possessed the fire property. In this glacier world, Ning Maner could only feel more comfortable by hugging him.
Chu Mu looked at her face that had turned pale from the cold and decided to dote on her more. He lowered his head and told her, “Let’s go back.”
“Go back? Is big brother not going to continue with the training?” asked Ning Maner.
“Yes, there’s another matter I have to attend to,” Chu Mu remembered that Liu Binglan had asked him to participate in the Dual Earth Conference. It was about time it took place.
“Big brother is so busy, you must not keep running around like this, you need to take a rest too,” said Ning Maner.
Chu Mu did not say anything in return. He just tapped her on the head and said, “Let’s go.”
Saying so, Chu Mu chanted an incantation and summoned out Night.
Night had trained rather little this time, so it was still at low class Immortal rank.
After completing the incantation, Night’s slender body appeared from the black diagram.
It's dark fur looked cool and charming. The Blood Marks on its body spread out to cover its entire body and it looked a little creepy!
“Huh? What’s wrong with Night?” Ning Maner looked at the Blood Marks on Night's body in surprise.
Ever since Night had returned, Blood Marks were all over its body. This is the sigil after it had resurrected from a corpse. They were usually hidden within its black fur, but they had suddenly become really visible this time. They looked just like blood scars.
Chu Mu was also quite surprised himself. It had been some time since he had last summoned Night, he did not expect those Blood Marks to have become so visible.
“Young master, Night’s resurrection period is about to be over soon,” Old Li’s voice drifted into his ears at this time.
After getting reminded by Old Li, Chu Mu remembered that Elder Li had told him to bring Night back to the Demonic Mound after five years when he was leaving. Counting the number of years, it should be around five years since he had left Demonic Mound now!
“Night, how are you feeling?” asked Chu Mu.
“Hui~!”
Night indicated that it did not really feel anything wrong with itself, just that those Blood Marks seemed to be slowly corroding its normal flesh.
“Young master, those Blood Marks will keep expanding and then slowly devour Night’s flesh body, converting it into a corpse. Once those Blood Marks occupy its entire body, Night will turn into a corpse. You must hurry back to the Demonic Mound and seek methods to suppress and dispel it,” explained Old Li.
“Looks like I will not be able to participate in the Dual Earth Conference this time,” Chu Mu nodded.
There was also an item that could suppress Ancient Flood Dragon Person within the Demonic Mound. Now that Ancient Flood Dragon Person was showing signs of awakening, he had to obtain it as soon as possible.
“Night, go back and rest,” Chu Mu cherished Night very much and recalled it into his soul pet space immediately.
“Big brother, what should we do now?” Ning Maner was also worried about Night. She could sense that Night’s body was getting entangled by the aura of death, not a tiny bit of its demonic aura remained.
“We will go to Demonic Mound,” said Chu Mu.
“Alright.”
Without Night carrying them, Chu Mu could only fly himself.
He hugged Ning Maner close and flew straight towards the Eternal Ocean. The Desolate Land was in between the North Ice Realm and the Eternal Ocean. Chu Mu did not venture too deep into this land, but Zhan Ye had trained there before for a long period of time.
Currently, the Desolate Land was quite peaceful and did not invade New Moon Land as frequently as it did in the past. The ruler of Desolate Land had probably noticed that New Moon Land had become really powerful and did not dare to invade them recklessly. At least, North Ice Realm had set an example.
As he flew towards the Desolate Land, the white snow gradually started disappearing. The temperature began rising. The warm sunlight shining onto them felt really comfortable.
Ning Maner’s paleness had recovered to some extent. A tint of redness gradually replaced the paleness from the cold. She had fallen asleep in Chu Mu’s bosom unknowingly.
Chu Mu noticed that she was already asleep and wondered whether he should take her back to Wanxiang City first before he went to the Demonic Mound.
However, considering that it was a crucial moment for him to raise his strength, it would be better to bring Ning Maner around all the time. It was just going to be hard on her to have to follow him in his boring cultivation.
