Mystical Journey

“So, this is the Cold Night Pond?”

Suddenly, a faint voice came from afar.

A group of people dressed in white on a Flying Ship came in swiftly and stopped nearby the crowd.

A muscular and tall man walked down from the Flying Ship and threw the vehicle to a side.

The man’s expression was calm, yet he was surrounded with a dense aura that no one could overlook. While the people behind him had a strong presence, he simply overshadowed the rest.

“It’s the people from the Scarlet Snow Sect!” The Scarlet Dragon Armor, Fati of the Dragon Light smirked. It was another external sect. He already had his hands full dealing with two allied Sects. Now that another sect had arrived, one could wonder how they planned on handling the situation.

The people from the Scarlet Snow Sect.

The Black Dragon Sect and the Sky Sword Sect could obtain information from the Energy Machine Imprint; they started being on their guard.

“We from the Black Dragon Sect and the Sky Sword Sect had discovered this place first. Friends of the Scarlet Snow Sect, if you wish to obtain the Cold Night Pond, please head off to somewhere else as there are still a few of Cold Night Ponds around!” The woman from the Sky Sword Sect shouted.

Garen’s group got down from the ship and glanced at the situation in front of them.

Two indigenous Sects united together to fight against the Dragon Light Sect. It seemed that this Cold Night Pond was simply the best and largest within the vicinity, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people fighting over it.

“How stupid. They’re still fighting against each other even when the sky is about to fall upon them,” Garen shook his head in his mind. It would be natural that these Energy Machinists, who were consumed by greediness, would perish.

Perhaps, in their perspective, the death of the entire sect was the doing of an enemy and an internal conflict between the Energy Machinists. They didn’t believe that any Pilots or outsiders would dare to attack them.

“This Cold Night Pond…” Garen immediately realized the giant blue crystal placed at the center. It contained a huge mass of chill that he himself couldn’t get his eyes off of it.

“What an overwhelming chill it has…”It is at least equivalent to the essence of five Blood Beads that Carthage has given out…” Seeing how there was still dirt around the crystal, it seemed that this item had just been dug out a while ago.

After some calculation, he would require at least three Origin Crystals to form the Crystal Wheel that would allow him to reach the Non-falling Level.

“I’ll be taking this Cold Night Pond.”

Garen was too lazy to argue with these bunch and spoke straightforwardly, “You guys can leave now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on him; there were about tens of red visors set onto the whole Scarlet Snow Sect team, especially on their leader Garen.

“Who does he think he is? How dare he spew such words,” There were a few people who couldn’t hold in their mockery.

The strongest of each team, Dragon Armor Fati of the Dragon Light Sect, Gatengsi of Black Dragon and the woman in yellow shirt from the Sky Sword Sect looked at Garen as if he was an idiot.

“What kind of joke is that? Lame,” Gatengsi of the Black Dragon Sect rubbed his ears as he laughed.

“This is Planet Almanac, something is definitely wrong with him considering he dares to threaten us in our homeland,” The woman in yellow shirt laughed as well.

Even Eva and King Cat looked at Garen in confusion as they didn’t understand why Garen would say such ridiculous words without knowing the strength of his enemies. People would look down on him for saying such big words.

However, Garen smiled as he took a step forward.

“Three Qi is all I need to deal with you people.”

Boom!

An intense, invisible chill went straight toward the crowd like a tidal wave.

The frightening chill instantly froze the scorching hot gravels on the floor, including everyone within a hundred meters in front of him.

Crack crack… Crack…

The solid layer of ice swiftly froze the legs of the all the members from the two sects, propagating upward to their bodies at a great speed.

An Energy Field that could not be seen meant that they couldn’t defend from it at all. Everything they did was in vain as they couldn’t even have the time to feel frightened or shout. In that instant, ninety percent of the crowd had been completely frozen into ice crystal pillars, standing firmly on the sand.

The three leaders tried to use their Energy Field and Strength of Origin, but they could only slow down the propagation.

“You!” They weren’t even able to finish a sentence before they were covered in ice pillars, fear being written all over their faces.

With a slight trick of the hand, the scene which had a crowd had become silent. The three Inherited Level leaders were covered inside the solid ice pillars.

“How boring,” Garen sighed in disappointment. He wanted to test his limits, yet his opponents were frozen by him without putting up any defense at all.

He could faintly hear the sound of teeth trembling from the Scarlet Snow Sect’s disciples behind him. He could also hear the increased blood circulation from Eva and King Cat’s body tensing up the moment the chill was released from his body.

“You… You killed them all?!” King Cat’s tone was rather dry.

“Perhaps…” Garen smiled as he stepped forward and gently placed his hands on the surface of the Cold Night Pond.

Sizzle…

A sizzling noise which sent chills down people’s spine could be heard as the crowd from the Scarlet Snow Sect stared at the Night Cold Pond in front of Garen shrink at a great pace. It was similar to an ice melting as they could see it shrinking with their naked eyes.

As for the surrounding people, he wouldn’t simply kill them off that easily as he had only released his frost Energy Field instead of Faded Creation. He had at most limited their movements and severely injured them due to the frost. Their lives would only be in danger if someone couldn’t get them out of the ice pillars within the span of ten days.

“Your Highness Garen is definitely the number one genius after His Highness Carthage!” Glasses, who was standing behind him, immediately flattered him as soon as he was able to react. However, his tone was rather dry.

The other five normal members could only swallow their saliva when they regained their composure from the shock. They should be proud of their own team, but all they felt was chills sending down their spine.

“Is the Scarlet Snow Technique really this incredible?” King Cat looked at Garen’s back as he was shocked. He, too, was at the Grade Thirteen for the Scarlet Snow Technique, but he couldn’t achieve such destruction even if he went all out. It had completely exceeded the realm of pure technic and was in the realm of disaster.

Eva gritted her teeth as she stared at Garen’s back. She was also shocked to see that Garen had improved so much. If he were to keep moving forward at such an incredible pace, she might not be able to avenge Rainy at this rate!

As the group was still recovering from the shock, Garen had already finished absorbing the Night Cold Pond and returned to the team. However, he seemed to be disappointed and no one dared to ask him why.

“Let’s go, to the next Night Cold Pond.

Garen said coldly. The fight ended before it started; it was such a buzzkill to everyone who was ready to go all out.

“Your Highness Garen is so strong!” A member behind Glasses couldn’t help but to said softly after regaining from the shock.

“The Scarlet Snow Technique can be that strong!?” Another female member muttered.

“Perhaps we, the Scarlet Snow Sect, are about to rise once again…” Another female member looked at Garen with a sense of worship in her eyes.

Worship would naturally form when the strength between two of similar ages was too drastic. They would then draw a line between the two and categorize the other party into another realm so that they wouldn’t compare themselves to the other party. This way, they could protect their own dignity. This was the nature of human being.

The Two Hearted members were in this exact situation.

Eva stared at him as she held the dagger in her arms tightly.

Garen rushed toward the next location where the Night Cold Pond was located. Glasses instructed a member to use the detecting device to locate more Night Cold Ponds.

Although the first Night Cold Pond Crystal was huge, Garen was only able to fill up the first Origin Crystal after refining it, he couldn’t even see the second crystal sprouting.

This made him have a firmer grasp on the difficulty of achieving the Non-Falling Level.

The people were already fighting around the second Cold Night Pond. Golden sparks were everywhere, and herds of purple-black birds covered the entire sky. A few large Mechs were mixed among these birds in the sky As they dyed the sky in red and green. It seemed that they were of the Inherited Level as well.

Garen couldn’t care less which Sect they were from since he had Carthage as the final line of defense. That person’s strength was endless, and he was definitely the strongest person in the Scarlet Snow Sect. The three Elders weren’t able to restrict him, and the Guardians had not shown themselves until even today. Half of the current Scarlet Snow Sect had been controlled by him and even though there were a few Three Hearted Disciples who viewed him as a threat, the majority of them were proud to have him. They didn’t care who was the owner, but they cared who could bring them glory and power.

Carthage was able to meet those criteria.

“Absolute Freeze.”

Garen didn’t even need to unsheathe his sword as he walked directly toward the blue Night Cold Pond Crystal, ignoring the battles surrounding him.

The birds froze into ice and fell onto the ground wherever he walked by. The people who were fighting were instantly frozen before they could react. All of them were frozen within an ice pillar, defenseless against the attack.

It was the same towards the Resonance Level or Inherited Level.

It was almost as though the Scarlet Snow Sect was walking in an environment without any human presence as they walked directly toward the Night Cold Pond. Garen reached out his hand and placed tightly on the surface of the Night Cold Pond.

The people behind him didn’t know what he was doing, neither did they dare to ask him as well. Garen’s invincibility had carved deeply in their memories. No one was able to stand against him as his enemies were instantly sealed within ice pillars in an instant. This Scarlet Snow Technique was out of everyone’s imagination!

After a while, Garen put away his hand as he looked at the Night Cold Pond that had been greatly shrunk.

“I’ve absorbed the Cold Energy inside it, but there are still traces of Cold Energy left that could be used for research. It seems to contain some secrets from the Blue Frost Sect. You can bring it back to the Technical Department for them to do their research. Keep it safe.”

“Yes!”

Glasses immediately went forward and kept the Cold Night Pond Crystal, which was as tall as a human, with the Space Ring that he had prepared earlier.

“Let’s go to the next one,” Garen turned around and went towards the third one.
