Chapter 906: Chapter 905: A Person’s Name, The Shadow of a Tree

After Prophet Thornton and Phoenix Thornton detailed Yusuf Zuck’s route to the North Sea Ice Mountains, Yusuf Zuck did not delay for a moment but directly soared out of the Spirit City, heading to the Teleportation formation.

However, what he did not expect was that, just as he left Spirit City, Valeria Jacobs and others actually followed him.

They had actually never been far away and, though they had left the Thornton Family, they lingered not far off, their intentions unclear.

But Yusuf Zuck was in no mood to play nice with these damnable guardians of the righteous path. Upon reaching the Teleportation formation, he quickly activated it and vanished in an instant.

In fact, he had a faint feeling that the news might not be true, suspecting it could be a trap set by someone with an agenda.

Even aware it might be a trap, he felt compelled to investigate it. What if it was true? If he did not go to offer help, wouldn’t he regret it for the rest of his life?

So he had to go, no matter what.

After three consecutive teleports, at the fourth Teleportation Array, Yusuf Zuck met up with Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy, who once again repeated the message in detail.

"It was just a boy about ten years old who came with the message? Did you track the boy?" Yusuf Zuck asked, raising his eyebrows after listening.

"We did," Jonah Burch immediately replied: "After receiving the message, I immediately went out to track the boy, but he seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace within hundreds of thousands of miles around the Jade Maiden Sect!"

"Hmm, do you know what the North Sea Ice Mountains are?" Yusuf Zuck asked while heading to the fifth Teleportation Array with Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy.

He had not yet had the chance to inquire about the North Sea Ice Mountains.

Jonah Burch replied, "The North Sea Ice Mountains are located at the boundary line between the inland and the wilds. Far to the north beyond the ocean, one will see the boundless North Sea Ice Mountains, which stretch unbroken. The place is extremely cold, and there are legends that long ago, within the ice mountains, there was a frozen Immortal Mansion where people achieved enlightenment and came into possession of Immortal Artifacts and the like. Hence, the North Sea Ice Mountains have always been a place of curiosity for many cultivators."

"However, the further north one goes, the colder it gets, and few dare to delve deep into the mountains, because at the bottom of those ice mountains lie many layers of ice. A layer down is an extreme ice layer, followed by second, third, and fourth layers. The term ’extreme’ is not about rank, but about the ultimate extreme. Ordinary Earth Immortals will turn into ice sculptures just by entering the first layer. It is said that even a Twelfth Level Earth Immortal would not dare to enter the third extreme layer of ice of the North Sea Ice Mountains."

"This is how the North Sea Ice Mountains got their name, as one of the polar regions of the Central Star."

"Master, we’re being followed!" As Jonah Burch was passionately describing the North Sea Ice Mountains, Lily Fairy suddenly interjected, because, without them realizing when, Valeria Jacobs and others had once again caught up with them.

They weren’t rushing, just maintaining a certain distance behind them.

"They are guardians of the path!" Jonah Burch observed with his Divine Sense, immediately recognizing the identities of those six people, and whispered, "Master, these guardians of the path are most troublesome, meddling in affairs everywhere. The Six Major Forces look unfavorably upon them too. However, these guardians come from ancient lineages, their bloodlines are extremely noble, and their bodies possess the ’God-gifted Power,’ which is terrifyingly powerful, capable of breaking even Immortal auras. Under normal circumstances, the Twelfth Level Earth Immortals of all forces avoid them."

"So you’re saying they surpass Twelfth Level Earth Immortals? Are they like Saints?" Yusuf Zuck inquired in surprise.

"They aren’t far off from Saints, falling somewhere between Twelfth Level Earth Immortals and Saints. Moreover, they don’t use their God-gifted Power recklessly, nor is it endless."

"Where does their God-gifted Power come from then?" Yusuf Zuck also knew that those six people each possessed distinct energies, which now appeared to be the so-called God-gifted Power. But he was curious, was God-gifted Power cultivated or was it bestowed by a higher realm?

"There are many rumors, but no one knows exactly which is true," Jonah Burch said: "One such rumor is that they are descendants of the gods, thus their blood contains God-gifted Power, and upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, this power awakens."

"The second is that they can make contact with gods that have vanished into oblivion, receiving the power bestowed by those gods."

"The third is, within their mysterious tribe lies the Spring of God’s Gift. One who cultivates in that spring gains God-gifted Power."

"The fourth reason is that in the process of exorcising demons and defending the way, they might receive a response from Heavenly Dao—that is, do good deeds, and you will be bestowed with Divine Power,"

"They are probably following you because they want to meddle in affairs again, since you previously destroyed the Sword Tower and annihilated the God Descendant Sect. These are acts of great slaughter, and they feel the need to exorcise those demons and defend the way,"

"I’m just curious as to why they are following from a distance instead of coming to trouble me directly?" Yusuf Zuck said with a puzzled expression.

"I’m also curious why they are only following from afar," Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy said, equally bewildered.

"Let’s ignore them and go our own way," Yusuf Zuck said with a cold smile, allowing those six to follow if they so wished.

The trio continued their journey, and six hours later, they arrived at the sixth Teleportation Array. However, when they reached it, they were surprised to find a sea of people, all queuing up to teleport!

"What’s going on?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback.

Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy were also shocked. There appeared to be five or six hundred people at the sixth Teleportation Array, and all of them were Earth Immortals, the lowest among them being of the eleventh level.

"I’ll go and find out," Lily Fairy said before swiftly flying towards the Teleportation Array.

Yusuf Zuck and Jonah Burch slowed their pace and continued forward, while Lily Fairy moved swiftly and returned just as quickly.

"Master, these people are also headed for the polar ice mountains of the North Sea. Somehow word got out claiming that the Immortal Mansion in the polar ice mountains has opened, attracting many people rushing there. These individuals are those who are nearby and can travel quickly. From other directions, experts from different cities are also making their way here, and there are even members of the Demon Clan, Alien Races, and Buddhist cultivators arriving as well," she reported.

"The Immortal Mansion has opened?" Yusuf Zuck inhaled deeply. Was this news true or false?

It seemed that just as Phoenix Thornton had predicted, chaos was erupting frequently. Turmoil was descending upon the world!

"We must hurry on our way; I need to return by the morning after tomorrow," Yusuf Zuck said. He had promised Phoenix Thornton to serve as protector and to take care of Phoenix Thornton, so he had to hurry back as soon as possible.

At a roar from Yusuf Zuck, indicating urgency, Jonah Burch let out a ferocious howl and in an instant, swooped over the Teleportation Array, and commanded in a cold voice, "Everyone, make way quickly! My Family Head needs to use the Teleportation Array!"

"What? Jonah Burch!"

"The Double-Winged Jonah Burch!"

"And the Yama, Bryson Campbell, is here too!"

"Move aside quickly or face death!"

"Whoosh—"

The influence of one’s name and the shadow of one’s tree; as soon as they heard the three words "Bryson Campbell," the hundreds of people queuing scattered to the sides. Even two of the twelfth-level Earth Immortals who were about to use the Teleportation Array hurriedly leaped off, not daring to teleport!

Yusuf Zuck gave a wry smile. Jonah Burch’s voice certainly had an effect. It seemed in this world, having the bigger fist was the ultimate principle!

"Fellow practitioners, I apologize for the inconvenience, I am in a hurry!" After Yusuf Zuck boarded the Teleportation Array with Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy, he immediately offered an apologetic fist-and-palm salute to the others as a form of greeting!
