After returning to the Seal Tribe and parting ways with Jiang Shanghang, Mo Tiange set up a defensive formation and entered the Virtual Sky World.
In fact, she didn't really believe what Jiang Shanghang said.
It wasn't very dangerous, but there were a lot of unique treasures. Such a good thing would definitely be considered a complete secret by the people in their sect. Not to mention inviting disciples from other sects, even disciples from their own sect wouldn't know about it.
But she didn't think Jiang Shanghang had any bad intentions.
Back in Yunwu Sect, she only saved him once in passing, yet he was willing to take the risk to save her.
Moreover, he really despised Liu Yidao's method of abandoning Xu Jingzhi. Presumably, although he was a selfish person, he wasn't a sinister person. If he didn't have good intentions for her, he wouldn't have acted like this.
In short, Jiang Shanghang's character wasn't bad. He also saved her life once, which was the main reason why she agreed to go with him.
Speaking of unique treasures and benefits, she didn't really desire them now. She already had too many things, so she really didn't need to be so greedy.
With that thought in mind, Mo Tiange began to make preparations for the trip.
Although Jiang Shanghang said she didn't need to prepare anything, Mo Tiange's personality was like this. She always planned before taking action. This way, there would be fewer accidents and she would have a higher chance of survival in a dangerous environment.
She took out two stone sculpture puppets from her Qiankun Bag. With a single thought, the two puppets started to get busy.
In the center of her Virtual Sky World, there were several small huts. Outside the huts was a dense bamboo forest. Surrounding the bamboo forest was a small stream, and on the other side of the stream was a large expanse of medicinal fields.
After she recognized this Virtual Sky World as its master, although it went through some preliminary cleaning, the layout didn't change. It was still arranged by its previous master.
Now that she summoned the two stone sculpture puppets, they quickly cleared the bamboo forest in front of the huts, leaving only half of the forest in the back. Then, she used the chopped bamboos to build several huts in the open space.
When the stone sculpture puppets finished building all the huts, Mo Tiange walked towards the largest one. She opened her hand, causing several formation discs to fly out and be placed in the corresponding positions.
She made extremely complicated hand seals and shot spiritual aura, causing all the formation discs to light up. Then, she threw the last formation flag and the whole formation was activated.
She then put her hand into her Qiankun Bag, took out a pill furnace, and put it in the center.
This pill furnace was about two feet square, covered in dense purple aura, and shrouded in spiritual light. It was the Purple Wooden Furnace Zhong Muling gave her.
After taking out the Purple Wooden Furnace and confirming there were no problems, Mo Tiange once again, she gave her divine comprehension, she ordered the two stone sculpture puppets to use.
While the puppets were busy, Mo Tiange wasn't idle either. She reached into her robe and fished out something — it was none other than the Sunstone Wanderer Ziwei gave her.
She took out the Dragon of the World Bag and Zhong with. with with the Zhong with, the Cultivator, and, and the Purple Cave, Zhong had with, Mo, Chen Dao, and Ling with Zhong with the puppets, Mo Zhong with, she didn with with with, she. with with with, she, with with, with, Mo with with, Mo with Mo with with with with with with, she. Mo with Yang.
Holding the Sunlight Stone in her palm, she took out a talisman brush from her robe with her other hand. Soon after, she used her divine comprehension to force out a drop of blood essence. She dipped the talisman brush in the blood essence and quickly drew lines around the Purple Wooden Furnace.
These lines seemed unreasonable, but once they were drawn on the Purple Wooden Furnace, they shone brightly as if they were real.
After she finished drawing, Mo Tiange put away the brush, opened the Purple Wooden Furnace, and put the Sunlight Stone inside. She then made a series of complicated hand seals and sealed the Sunlight Stone at the bottom of the furnace.
Once she was done, she felt a wave of tiredness.
Blood essence was a person's foundation; every drop was extremely precious. Even though she was a Foundation Building cultivator, losing one drop still made her tired.
She sat down cross-legged, took several medicinal pills, and circulated her spiritual aura in her body several times before she finally felt a bit better.
At that moment, the two stone sculpture puppets had finished arranging the concocting room. The water from the brook was drawn into the small room through a bamboo pipe, dripping into the small pond.
She put away the stone sculpture puppets, pondered for a moment, and decided on the type of medicinal pills she would concoct this time.
Healing medicinal pills were necessary, but detoxification and mind-calming medicinal pills were also indispensable.
Last time in Ziwei's Immortal's Cave, fortunately, Daoist Fangzheng brought several Mind-Calming Talismans with him. Otherwise, she would've had to spend a lot of effort.
By the time she finished concocting all these medicinal pills, several days had already passed.
During this time, she specifically told the maids sent to serve her that she wanted to cultivate clear-headed for several days and not to disturb her if there was nothing important.
After that, she prepared some tools that could be used to lay formations temporarily.
Time was tight, so she didn't have time to study the Xuanji Formation Book. However, her attainments in formations had always surpassed cultivators of the same generation, so she was able to lay several sets of formations very quickly, including the Four Symbols Hundred Flowers Formation.
If she could finish laying this compound formation, even if she encountered a demonic beast in the fifth rank or above, she wouldn't be completely powerless.
In the last few days, Mo Tiange did nothing but closed her eyes, meditated, and adjusted her breath, making her body and mind reach their best state.
Ten days later, she came out of the Virtual Sky World, removed the formation she laid in the igloo, and walked out of the igloo.
Jiang Shanghang was already waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he smiled. "Junior Martial Brother Ye really kept his word. Ten days is ten days."
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile. "Since I promised Senior Martial Brother Jiang, how could I go back on my word?"
At that moment, the two of them suddenly looked up and saw several Flight Lights flitting across the sky, eventually disappearing in the north.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye," Jiang Shanghang said, "It seems they've already gone. Let's go too."
The "they" Jiang Shanghang mentioned were the fellow disciples he'd made an appointment with.
Mo Tiange nodded. The two of them immediately used their respective methods, turning into two Flight Lights and swiftly flying away.
After flying for about half a day, the two of them once again arrived at the Arctic Sea they went to that day.
In the distance, Mo Tiange saw several Foundation Building cultivators hovering in the air above the seaside. There were both men and women, and based on their clothes, they were Zhengfa Sect disciples.
Jiang Shanghang immediately led Mo Tiange over.
"Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters, I'm late. Please forgive me." Jiang Shanghang raised his hand to greet everyone with a smile.
Mo Tiange saw that his current behavior and way of doing things were indeed completely different from before.
These Zhengfa Sect disciples also saluted him back, but there was one person who didn't move. It seemed he was too arrogant to return the salute.
Jiang Shanghang naturally also saw it, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to introduce Mo Tiange to his fellow disciples. "This is Junior Martial Sister Ye Xiaotian from Xuanqing School. She's also an old friend of mine.
Junior Martial Sister Ye's cultivation level is outstanding, so I specially invited her. "
Mo Tiange, who deliberately wore Xuanqing School's Daoist robes today, cupped her hands towards them in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. "I'm Ye Xiaotian. Greetings to Fellow Daoists from Zhengfa Sect."
Upon hearing Jiang Shanghang's introduction, the Zhengfa Sect cultivators' gazes fell on Mo Tiange. Amazement flitted across the male cultivators' eyes, but the two female cultivators' gazes were vigilant. Nevertheless, all of them returned the salute.
Xuanqing School was very powerful now. Compared to Tiandao Sect, the number one cultivation group in the Celestial Pole, it even seemed to surpass them. Even though Zhengfa Sect was located in the northernmost area, they still didn't dare to neglect them.
Even the most arrogant male cultivator also stared at Mo Tiange and raised his hand to return the salute.
"Senior Martial Brothers and Senior Martial Sisters." Jiang Shanghang smiled and said, "I acted on my own initiative and invited Junior Martial Sister Ye here. You won't take offense, right?"
Everyone remained silent and shifted their gazes towards the arrogant male cultivator. That male cultivator was looking at Mo Tiange. Upon hearing Jiang Shanghang's words, he shifted his gaze towards Mo Tiange but immediately withdrew it. "Since you're a Junior Martial Sister from Xuanqing School, let's come together."
Jiang Shanghang finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that person relenting. He raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Ren."
That person still didn't respond and just stood there motionlessly.
Jiang Shanghang didn't mind. He turned towards Mo Tiange and said, "Junior Martial Sister Ye, come, let me introduce you." Calling her Junior Martial Brother Ye in front of outsiders was really strange, so he changed the way he addressed her.
Among the six men and two women in front of them, the arrogant male cultivator with the highest cultivation level was in the late stage of the Foundation Building realm. The other two male cultivators were in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, while the rest, including Jiang Shanghang, were all in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm.
Jiang Shanghang introduced them one by one. "This is Senior Martial Brother Lu Rongsheng, Senior Martial Brother Xiang Zhiyang, Senior Martial Brother Qiu Zhiming, Junior Martial Brother Tang Fang, and Junior Martial Brother Yu Xiaoran." He then moved on to the two female cultivators. "This is Senior Martial Sister Ai Xian, Senior Martial Sister Xia."
Mo Tiange once again saluted them.
Among these people, Lu Rongsheng and Xiang Zhiyang were in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, while the others were in the early stage.
The male cultivators were obviously more enthusiastic towards her, but the two female cultivators were lukewarm, which made Mo Tiange feel a bit strange.
Finally, it was the arrogant male cultivator with the highest cultivation level. Jiang Shanghang put him last, but it was unclear whether he was being cautious or for some other reason. "This is Senior Martial Brother Ren Yufeng, our leader this time.
Senior Martial Brother Ren is our Martial Uncle Buqi's inner disciple. Not only is his cultivation level high, but his skills are also outstanding. "
Although Jiang Shanghang said that, his tone was indifferent.
"Greetings, Senior Martial Brother Ren." Mo Tiange clasped her hands.
Since she called Jiang Shanghang "Senior Martial Brother", she naturally had to call him "Senior Martial Brother". Between friends, they usually called each other senior martial brother or junior martial brother.
Ren Yufeng returned the salute then finally said, "Junior Martial Sister Ye, you're really young and promising. From what I see, you shouldn't be more than eighty years old, right?"
Mo Tiange smiled but didn't deny it.
She maintained her appearance as if she was twenty years old. Based on the lifespan of Foundation Building cultivators, if she was eighty years old or younger, she would have her normal appearance instead of the effects of a Look-Preserving Pill.
Although Look-Preserving Pills could keep one's appearance unchanged, experienced cultivators would most likely be able to see some clues. Probably because people were getting older, some of their behaviors and actions would naturally be different.
"Senior Martial Brother Ren is too polite. I was just lucky."
"Lucky?"
Ren Yufeng chuckled then said meaningfully, "If you could make a realm-breakthrough just because you were lucky, wouldn't the world be full of high-level cultivators?"
His words were a bit strange, so Mo Tiange just smiled and didn't say anything.
Ren Yufeng swept his gaze over everyone then said, "Good people, everyone's here; we can set out now."
No one had any objections. A group of ten people rode on their flying magic tools then flew towards that huge iceberg together.
Mo Tiange and Jiang Shanghang were at the very back. Mo Tiange thought for a moment then sent Jiang Shanghang a secret message: "Senior Martial Brother Jiang, why are their attitudes so strange?
It seems like your senior martial sisters don't really welcome me. "
A strange smile appeared on Jiang Shanghang's face. He also sent her a secret message: "Junior Martial Brother Ye, you've probably been disguised as a man for too long that you've forgotten you're a woman, right?
It's perfectly normal for my two senior martial sisters to dislike you. Women simply can't bear to see other people prettier than them! "
