Chapter 728: The First Day of Missing Huyan Bin (I)
Amid the snowy mountains of the Northern Regions, it was bitterly cold for tens of thousands of zhang.
The Whale-Riding Immortal stood before a deep, dark pool that seemed to stretch on for a thousand li. Yet, when he stepped on it, there was not even the slightest ripple. It turned out that the deep pool had frozen over many years ago.
With his bare hands, the Whale-Riding Immortal carved a circle on the frozen surface of the deep pool. He stuck his palm onto the circled ice and then pulled upward, tearing out a large icicle with a loud rumble. Then he turned his hand over, instantly destroying the icicle. It turned into countless fine particles that dispersed in the air.
After pulling out the icicle, he could now see a huge cavity beneath the ice.
The Whale-Riding Immortal took out a golden fishing rod—a legendary ancient enchanted tool that was said to have once been used to catch the Black Devil Whale.
He then turned to look at the light blue humanoid apparition and put on a devilish grin. "Come on."
Unimpressed, the apparition replied, "Jiang Tiankuo, you'd better act like a proper human being."
This light blue soul apparition was, of course, the West Sea's Sword Emperor, who had been hanging around with the Whale-Riding Immortal of late.
The Sword Emperor was now an Eminent One at the seventh and a half realm. Despite only surviving with his soul, he still possessed some of his combat ability. However, some humans and demonic beasts only saw him as a rare cultivation resource, placing him under constant threat.
Consequently, the Sword Emperor left the Sword-Hanging Kingdom under Daoist Yan's protection and followed the Whale-Riding Immortal on a journey across the world. He was hoping to find a corporeal body to house his soul.
Nevertheless, it was no easy task to find a suitable corporeal body for an Eminent One of his level. If it were simple, beings like Hallowed Yang and the Demon God would not be so difficult to resurrect.
