Dongshenzhou, the land in the far north, is covered with snow for thousands of miles.
The endless snowfield, without sunshine all day long, is vast and cold.
On a towering iceberg in the distance, hundreds of young and middle-aged men wearing tattered plush animal skins stood in a giant open-air ice cave, shoveling snow and cutting ice.
"When will this damn weather end?"
It was so cold that their hands and feet were stiff and their faces were blue. They wished they could go home and have their wives and children warm up on the bed. However, when they noticed the gray-haired boy behind the team, they all gritted their teeth in envy.
The young man has a tall and straight figure, wearing a thin black gown, and has a pair of clear and bright eyes, shining with perseverance.
Jun Tian has just turned sixteen and has a masculine temperament. Not only is he not afraid of the cold, but he is also gifted with supernatural powers. His neighbor, Sister Zhang, said that he is as strong as an ox and will definitely become a practitioner in the future.
"I haven't dug anything out for three days. If this continues, my little sister will be hungry."
Jun Tian was secretly anxious. He grew up in the Arctic and lived in a nearby town. He knew that food and gold were precious, not to mention those in-demand goods such as cotton clothes and quilts, which were as precious as life.
According to legend, this world aeons ago was full of treasures and outstanding people. People did not have to worry about food and could bask in the sun every day. However, the environment deteriorated overnight and a sea of blizzards covered the entire land and turned it into a vast country of ice and snow.
In the past, even the Holy Land in the North Pole was forever buried under the glacier. Over the years, countless explorers came to search for the treasures of the Holy Land.
"It's going to get dark soon. If you can't dig out anything today, you're going to drink the damn northwest wind."
There were angry curses in the cold wind. Captain Huang De was patrolling back and forth. He was wearing a purple mink coat and had a tall and majestic body. Even though he was far away, he still gave Juntian a heavy sense of oppression.
This is the territory of the Huang family for thousands of miles. Huang De is the "originator" of the Huang family. He once lived in the prosperous Eastern Region, but because of a big mistake, he was assigned to this bitter cold land by his family to supervise the treasure excavation project.
of drudgery.
The nights in the Arctic are very cold, and freezing to death is common.
Over these thousands of years, a huge amount of cold air has still accumulated in some areas, making it a restricted area of life that is difficult for humans to enter.
"It's almost dark, and it's been another day of work in vain..."
Jun Tian sighed, his muscles all over were sore, but when he saw the playful patterns painted on the Xuan Bing shovel by the younger sister, his eyes suddenly became firm.
"Keep digging!"
He gritted his teeth, his handsome face was full of unyielding expression, his natural long gray hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was desperately digging into the ice in the wind and snow.
"When I earn enough money, buy a place to undergo the 'Origin Ceremony', and become an Originator, I will be able to leave the North Pole with my little sister in the future. Otherwise, I will be the Huang family's money-making tool for the rest of my life, and I will never have enough to eat!
"
Jun Tian roared in his heart, the Arctic territory is vast, and a mortal would not be able to reach the end even after ten lifetimes, let alone face attacks from snow creatures along the way.
Juntian has understood since he was a child that by becoming an ‘Origin’ he can cross over and live in the Eastern Region.
He doesn't understand the Eastern Territory, but he knows that the Eastern Territory is vast and rich in resources, and strong men have emerged from generation to generation. To him, it is like a pure land outside the world, which is beyond his reach.
"bump!"
Jun Tian swung the black black ice shovel violently, carving out a crack in the ice, but it hit something hard. "It's shipped!" Jun Tian was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly peeled away the ice layer, bending down to pick up a lot of ice.
It was an object of frost. After cleaning it, I found that it was a nine-color tile the size of a fist, which was very heavy.
Jun Tian's face twitched slightly. What he wanted were fragments of artifacts from ancient times, or a secret bone book that had not yet cracked. As for the tiles used to build a house, what value could they have?
But what surprised him was the dense and intricate textures on the tiles. As he watched, his eyes turned dark and he felt dizzy, as if he was about to lie down and fall asleep.
"Oh my god, is this engraved scripture an inheritance?"
Jun Tian's heart trembled violently. The scriptures from eons ago were priceless, and it was even more priceless to be related to the destroyed Holy Land. He couldn't believe that he had dug them up.
"What did you dig up? Take it out and let me see!"
The cold words came suddenly, which made the smile on Juntian's face freeze.
Huang De was well-known for his nefarious intentions, and he had previously confiscated the incomplete artifacts he dug up, claiming it was protection money.
Due to the disparity in strength, Jun Tian could only endure it.
He also knew very well that although the people of the Arctic had lived in the treasure area for generations, the powerful clans from all sides competed to enclose the land, and mortals were like slaves. Only by digging out treasures could they obtain daily necessities, otherwise no one would care about them if they starved to death on the streets.
Private digging? If the nine tribes were not punished, their ancestral graves would be smoking!
"What?"
Jun Tian found out that the tiles disappeared in his hands. He was filled with disbelief. However, when he saw Huang De walking in the distance, Jun Tian quickly calmed down and explained calmly.
"Brother De, I was just blinded by it. It was just a ball of ice."
Huang De glanced at the gray-haired boy standing calmly in front of him, and a cruel look flashed at the corner of his mouth. How could the Originator's insight be understood by a mortal? He had clearly noticed the nine-color object just now!
Jun Tian's heart was about to rise to his throat, but he could do nothing. He restrained his nervousness, kept breathing steadily, and stood there and let Huang De search.
After a few random searches, Huang De pulled the red scarf from Jun Tian's arms, glanced at Jun Tian's belly without leaving any trace, and asked: "Where did the scarf come from?"
"Brother De, this is my little sister's scarf. It was not dug out." Juntian explained that he only had this cotton scarf at home, and every time his little sister went to work, she would give it to him to keep warm.
Huang De put the scarf on the tip of his nose and smelled a hint of his daughter's fragrant body fragrance, and his eyes suddenly turned evil.
"The smell on my sister's body is so strong!"
Huang De laughed evilly: "You should ask your sister to come to my house tomorrow, and Brother De will prepare delicious food for her."
"This beast!" Jun Tian's eyes widened in anger, a raging fire burned in his heart, and he almost smashed his head with the Xuanbing shovel in his hand.
"What do you want to do?"
Huang De's face was gloomy. He patted Jun Tian's face, which was flushed with anger, and said coldly: "Don't be crazy in front of me, otherwise if you die, who will make money for me?"
Jun Tian was so angry that his teeth were chattering, but facing the cruel reality, he endured the humiliation, lowered his head, and continued to dig into the ice.
"What a waste."
In the open pit where the wind and snow were howling, Jun Tian raised his head and stared at Huang De who was leaving. His eyes were cold, and the angry blood in his heart was about to burst out of his body.
But thinking about himself, Juntian lowered his head in silence and continued chipping away at the ice.
Suddenly, Juntian felt a bone-chilling chill, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"what is that?"
Jun Tian was horrified, and an arm as white as jade was dug out from the crack in the ice in front of him.
There was a commotion all around. The unearthed jade arm was intact, and the jade fingers were slender and slender. It was not an exaggeration to call it ice muscle and jade bone.
"Hahaha……"
Huang De laughed ecstatically. The Huang family was very interested in the frozen corpse buried deep, not to mention that it was still alive after being frozen for ten thousand years. She was definitely a strong woman who was famous throughout the world.
Jun Tian was extremely disgusted when he found out that Huang De was holding a jade arm and kissing her wildly. How could a normal person do this even after he has been dead for so many years?
He also had strange eyes, tiles, jade arms...could he have dug into the core area of the treasure?
After all, this snow-capped mountain has just been excavated for a month. Could it be that this is the cave of a strong man from eons ago?
Huang De was worried that leaking the news would cause trouble, so he announced that they would all stay overnight.
The miners here dare not speak out in anger. Although they have brought tents and braziers to withstand the cold current, they will probably become seriously ill if they survive the night.
As night falls, the vast snowfield is hazy with a layer of strange crimson.
Jun Tian stood on the top of the mountain, his eyes were clear and energetic. He looked into the distance and seemed to see a layer of blood flowing on the snowfield, exuding the desolation of ancient times.
Juntian clutched his chest, feeling suddenly very uncomfortable. He didn't know why he was sad.
It was dark at night, and Jun Tian was sitting on the straw mat in the tent, chewing on hard multigrain steamed buns, always worrying about the missing tiles.
“It’s so cold!”
The temperature outside continued to drop. Juntian's face was pale and his whole body was cold. He was about to light the brazier to keep warm, but he gritted his teeth and gave up.
As soon as he lay down on the straw mat to stretch his body, his brain suddenly became dizzy and his vision was blurry and dark, but he saw tiles!
Juntian's heart trembled, and his intuition told him that pieces of brick were floating in his mind.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Juntian felt incredible. Gradually, he could carefully listen to the ancient sacrificial sounds coming from the tiles, causing his mind to fall into a dark space.
"Testing, bloodline..."
The emotionless and indifferent words echoed in the darkness, as if mechanical gears were turning slightly in my ears.
"Detection, soul mark."
"Check, vital signs."
These words are bitter and difficult to understand, but if you taste them carefully, you can understand the meaning.
At the same time, there was a strange energy flowing in the body. Juntian felt that his body had been torn apart and his soul had been shattered, but there was no pain in the process.
What is this doing?
"The human life form has passed the test. Let's start testing the talent."
In an instant, a layer of terrifying cold air enveloped his body, and Juntian was frozen, including his soul. However, his body's resistance to cold was extremely strong, his pulse was beating, and his eyes were moving.
"The test passed, welcome back the hibernators."
"Open the ancestral court and unfold the path to the origin of life..."
Juntian felt like his body was floating in the dark river. He couldn't see anything clearly. Only his emotions were stirring. The origin road... was about to open!
