Chapter 976: 976

“Follow me . ” The senior sister led Jiang Chen to the depths of the ice mountain .

Jiang Chen discovered something, which no one would have expected, and he rushed over there at full speed . There was a rectangular piece of Mysterious Ice there and a white-clothed man, who didn’t have a right arm, was frozen there . It was Jiang Chen’s father, Jiang Qingyu .

Jiang Chen turned his head back and looked at his senior sister . But the latter just stood there and didn’t say anything .

Jiang Chen had already learned from the Icy Spirit King that the Seventh Realm’s holy lands and holy sects had passed down an order and forbid everyone from intervening in the battle between the Holy Wings Clan and Jiang Qingyu . Anyone who intervened would bear grave consequences .

His senior sister knew that this person was his father and took a great risk to save him, and he discovered with surprise that his father still had a wisp of life force left, because his senior sister’s Ice Seal Technique was more amazing than his Life Prolonging Needle Technique .

That affair had really developed as he had imagined . The Solar Golden Wheel had gone out of control and burn could be clearly seen on his father’s body . The rumor wasn’t false—Jiang Qingyu was sealed in ice when he turned completely into a golden flame .

However, Jiang Chen still discovered in surprise that the Solar Golden Wheel had almost fused with his father’s body completely . Jiang Chen didn’t care about anything else and tried to imbue life force into his father’s body . However, the life force wasn’t being absorbed by him . In the end, life force wasn’t ordinary energy, and even when Jiang Chen used a forceful method, he didn’t succeed and it wasn’t effective .

Jiang Chen wasn’t willing to accept this, and he mixed the life force with his divine blood and dripped it in his father’s mouth . This time it was effective, and it could be clearly seen that Jiang Qingyu’s body was changing and his badly damaged parts started recovering and even his cut-off right arm started growing once again .

However, when delight and surprise had just appeared on Jiang Chen’s face, a golden flame rose from Jiang Qingyu once again . His senior sister, who was next to him, quickly made a move and sealed Jiang Qingyu in ice once again .

“The Solar Golden Wheel has already gone out of control, and while my father isn’t awake he can’t put it under control . It will be useless unless I can gather 100 years life force in a short while . ” Jiang Chen figured this out, but he quickly thought of a thorny problem . His face had already turned pale after he dripped his divine blood, and, if he really imbued his father’s body with 100 years life force, his body’s divine blood would be burned and exhausted .

If he really would do it, he would also die . Moreover, such blood essence still wouldn’t be enough . It was only through raising his Realm Level to the same level as a Sacred Lord that he could provide divine blood without putting his life in danger .

“Senior sister, how long can you seal him?” Jiang Chen asked .

“If he didn’t have the golden wheel, I could seal him forever . But it’s a pity that the golden wheel is an Extreme Yang Object, and it’s my power nemesis . ” The senior sister couldn’t provide a sure answer . The Solar Golden Wheel had saved Jiang Qingyu’s life, yet now it had become the greatest obstruction .

“I can set a fire-restraining barrier, and it should be able to help it persist for a while . ” After Jiang Chen set the barrier, he started considering what he should do next .

According to his former progress, he would need to spend five years or more to collect 100 years life force from the Desolate Spirits . He could ask Yao Tianshi to help him, but he quickly gave up on such an idea .

“Should I spend some time on cultivation?” Jiang Chen thought inwardly . If he could become a Sacred Lord, then all issues he was facing now wouldn’t be issues any longer .

“I can only do this . ” Such a decision might seem selfish to other people . But Jiang Chen wasn’t a moron, and he wouldn’t attempt folly just because of other’s opinions . Jiang Chen used all his skills and abilities and spent a long time in the stone room so that he could guarantee that the Mysterious Ice wouldn’t melt for several years .

“I will also do my utmost . So, just set your mind at ease,” Xue’er said to him .

Jiang Chen nodded and thanked her . Upon witnessing him treating her politely, Xue’er felt quite pained . But it didn’t show on her face . This was one of the Ice Spirits’ special traits .

“Those objects are yours . ” Xue’er handed him the objects he had left in the Ice Spirit Clan’s land in the past, and there wasn’t even a single one of them missing . They included even the four clans’ familial treasures .

“The Ending Age Mace is in the hands of the Spirit King, and if you need it…”

“No, I didn’t take those familial treasures for myself . ” Jiang Chen said, “Those are the Spirit Clan’s objects, and they will be more effective in the hands of Spirits . ”

Upon hearing him, Xue’er lowered her head, and spoke in a soft voice, “When we separated in the Nine Heavens Realm, none of us expected that we would have such a day . ”

“We can only say that fate plays tricks on people,” Jiang Chen said while sighing .

In the next few days, Jiang Chen stayed with his senior sister in the ice mountain . He observed the changes of the Mysterious Ice and the Solar Golden Wheel, while his senior sister accompanied him quietly .

“Jiang Chen, don’t tell me that you started planning to become a Buddhist Monk just because you mastered Buddhist Techniques?” The Azure Demon became anxious after witnessing their situation, and he couldn’t help but ask him .

“What?” Jiang Chen didn’t realize what he meant at first .

“One can’t blame her for such a matter, and you also can’t blame her . The saint will also hope that you two can be together,” the Azure Demon stated a matter, which couldn’t be more obvious than it was .

If Jiang Chen hadn’t learned about the Mysterious Ice Comb matter, he wouldn’t have listened to such words . But now, he mulled it over seriously, before he looked at the back of the woman clad in white clothes, who wasn’t far from him . It was exactly like what the Azure Demon had said, and his feelings for his senior sister had never changed . After he pondered it more, he found himself quite vexed and at conflict with himself .

Xue’er, who was looking at the icy land in front her, also couldn’t keep her calm . She regretted her stupid actions last year . But if any other woman had been in her position then, she wouldn’t have been able to keep calm after witnessing her beloved man sleeping with her sister, who she trusted well .

That wasn’t just a misunderstanding because that matter had really occurred, and when she witnessed such a sight, it wasn’t like she didn’t consider that the affair wasn’t as simple as she thought . But, the issue was that Jiang Chen and her close sister were already together, and they were even married .

Even if Jiang Chen went back to her, how could she face him?

However, all such qualms vanished like smoke after Jiang Chen had turned into a demon, and if she really got another chance to redo everything, she wouldn’t have overthought such an affair .

But, it was a pity that her junior brother didn’t love her anymore, and she had brought everything upon herself .

When the rim of her eyes just started brimming with tears, Jiang Chen went to her side .

“Senior sister, when I entered the Ice Spirit Clan’s spiritual land that year, I was already aware that it wouldn’t go smoothly . But I have sworn inwardly that even if I have to fight the whole world, I will still get rid of all obstructions for you . ”

Xue’er pondered about this and cast him a glance stealthily . She was quite anxious and regretted that she hadn’t learned how to discern a person’s thoughts through their body language . She wondered why her junior brother stated such a matter . While she was extremely anxious, Jiang Chen spoke once again, “I want to inform you that regardless if it was in the past, now, or in the future, I will still do the same for you . ”

“Jiang Chen!” The heart of Xue’er was stirred up, and, at this moment, she wasn’t the ice-cold woman who treated all people coldly . She was like any girl who had her first awakening of love .

“I also love Xue’er, and I will find the Ice Soul Stone even if I have to go down to the underworld or go up to Heaven,” Jiang Chen spoke once again .

“I know this . ”

If Jiang Chen wasn’t prepared to do such a matter for her, she would be quite surprised .

All of a sudden, she made a firm resolution and said, “At that time, if she wants me to leave you, I won’t have any complaints . ” It was obvious that such a mood wasn’t suitable for such grave words . But those were sincere and heartfelt words .

Jiang Chen bore his impulse to laugh, turned his head around, and said, “Senior sister, does this mean that you won’t leave me now?”

When Xue’er witnessed his crafty smile, she became bashful, and a flush appeared on her face . This was a rarely seen sight! Xue’er was so ashamed that she suddenly flew into a rage, and her eyes flickered . All of the chilly air in the world enveloped Jiang Chen and she started turning him into an ice sculpture .
