Even if Mei Lin was extremely angry, there was nothing he could do.
“I advise you to stop. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will die behind him.”
Three divine-tier auras appeared behind Mei Lin, and Mei Lin cried out bitterly in his heart.
He had naturally sensed that two of the three auras were the auras of the divine-tier experts whom he had met in the Dark Church. The other aura was even more powerful. He knew that he would have no chance of winning even if he were to face any of the three auras.
Now that the three of them had appeared together, he could only stop obediently.
The spatial rift slowly closed up, and the old man in the lead said to the Great Magus and Leonhart.
“We don’t have any time to waste. You guys chase after him first. I’ll go after you guys after I’ve dealt with this old fellow.”
Great Magus and Leonhart nodded, and they chased after Mike through the spatial rift.
The old man in the lead looked at Mei Lin and said, “There’s a path to heaven, but you don’t want to walk it. You’ll find your way to hell now.”
Mei Lin’s expression became twisted.
…
Mike gradually approached the exit of the space. A gust of cold wind blew in from the exit, making him shiver involuntarily.
“Is the Holy Dragon Here? Do you know where we are? Why is it so cold?”
The Azure Dragon pondered for a moment and said, “If my guess is correct, this should be the Northern Region.”
“The Northern Region!”
Mike was shocked, and then his face returned to its previous gloomy look. He understood that if this place was really the Northern Region, then it would be very troublesome.
The Northern Region was the most mysterious region among the five High-level summoning regions. Even 2,000 years ago, people did not know that such a region existed. Even now, when people knew that such a region existed, no one came here either.
The reason was very simple. Although most of the areas between the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Central Regions were windless zones that did not have a trace of divine power, there were one or more interconnected routes between these regions. People could essentially use the port to travel between regions. For some unknown reason, the magical beasts would not invade those routes. The passers-by could be said to be absolutely safe.
However, the Northern Region was different. There was no such port between the Northern Region and the Central Region. Several divine-tier experts had explored for over 2,000 years, but they had yet to find a relatively safe passage from the Central Region to the Northern Region.
It was as if the several dozen divine-tier magical beasts had come to an agreement. They formed a line and blocked the path that they had to pass through from the Northern Region to the Central Region. From the moment they were discovered, the Northern Region had become an isolated island.
Mike had been trapped.
This was not the worst part. The worst part was the weather in the Northern Region. It was extremely strange. There was only one season a year here, and that was winter.
Moreover, the days and nights here were even. The first 180 days were dark, the next 180 days were daytime. There was only one color in the environment here every day. It was either pitch-black, or it was completely white. No matter how strong a person’s heart was, they would not be able to withstand such boring and monotonous torture.
Mike looked around and found that there was indeed no other color around him. It was all snow-white.
He felt the speed at which his divine power was being consumed, and his heart was shocked because he found that the speed at which his divine power was being consumed here was hundreds of times faster than in the Central Region. If he did nothing and only operated the Law of Perfection, only then would the consumption slow down.
Mike looked around, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew around him. In an instant, white snow fluttered in the air, and the sky turned dark. Mike could only feel that his divine power was being drained at an even faster rate. He shook his head helplessly, he summoned the Azure Dragon.
“This is the Northern Region! This is troublesome. Why is our luck so bad? The barrier energy in the Northern Region is the most unstable. The divine power from the outside world is constantly flowing into the Northern Region through the barrier, which is why the weather in the Northern Region has become so strange. Most importantly, the people of this world are unable to directly absorb this godly power. You need to wash away the light and agile energy within the divine power before you can absorb it.”
“There’s no need.” Eve came out and said to the green dragon, “Holy Dragon, Mike has our dragon race’s cultivation technique. His physical strength has also passed the test. I think he should be able to directly absorb this divine power without any further processing.”
Hearing this, Mike was overjoyed. He said, “That’s great. I can cultivate to the divine-tier in the Northern Region and think about other things. Also, I don’t have to worry about the Dark Magi coming to disturb me.”
“Why didn’t I think of this?” The Azure Dragon smiled bitterly. “However, even so, are you sure you can persist in this despairing place?”
Mike said, “I’m not sure either, but I know that if I don’t try, I won’t know the outcome of this matter for the rest of my life.”
The Azure Dragon’s heart shook. He did not know how long it had been since he had seen someone like Mike. He said, “In that case, I’ll use my last bit of strength to do something for you. From this direction, go 8,000 miles. There’s a cave. I think you can stay there for the next few days.”
Mike’s heart trembled as he asked, “What do I need to do to save you?”
The Great Azure Dragon’s voice echoed in Mike’s mind. “We’ll talk about it after you find the dragon’s head.”
The Azure Dragon’s voice came to an abrupt halt. Mike flew in the direction the Azure Dragon had pointed out. It only took Mike one day to fly 8,000 miles.
After a few years of cultivation, Mike had gradually started to enjoy things that only divine-tier experts could enjoy. For example, casually using the divine power of heaven and earth. This was fundamentally different from when he used it in the past, where the divine power only isolated him and his enemies from the world, and then used the might of the world to suppress the enemy.
Now, it was somewhat like a fox using the might of a tiger. Mike could directly use the power of heaven and earth to drive the enemy out of the world. On the other hand, Mike had fused with the world, integrating his power with the world, and attacking the enemies. His power had increased by many orders of magnitude.
However, Mike did not know that it was relatively difficult to use the power of the even world among divine-tier experts. Otherwise, there would be no need to have so many divine-tier experts attack the Dark Church that night.
Mike landed slowly. He looked at the undulating mountain before him and slowly released his spiritual power. In the end, he found a cave entrance 45 miles underground.
Mike spent a great deal of effort and finally entered the mountain wall. Once he entered the cave, he felt that the temperature had risen by quite a lot. Immediately, he was overjoyed. He checked carefully again and found that there was no danger. Then, he sat down cross-legged, he began to try to absorb the divine power of the world into his body.
The divine power of the world was guided into Mike’s body, and it continued to move along Mike’s bones. The Law of Perfection and the Qi refining technique of the great wastelands exerted their powers at the same time, continuously removing the impurities in the divine power, and so on and so forth…
Although the speed at which the divine power was being absorbed into Mike’s body was greatly reduced, Mike’s recovery speed was still several times faster than that of the Central Region.
“Very good. At this rate, I should be able to become a divine-tier expert after five years.”
Mike calmed down and stopped thinking about other things.. He began to focus on recovering and cultivating.
