This old man is the leader of the Arctic Immortal Sect, the Arctic Immortal Old Man!
"Why are you here?" Jiang Ning was surprised. Jiang Ning was not surprised that he was in this underground world, but at this moment, all his immortal souls were gathered in the Heart-Eating Ice Immortal Lotus.
"Me? You have to ask her about this. I have been here for a long time, waiting and waiting, waiting to meet her again one day." The Arctic Immortal said emotionally. He seemed to be able to see directly through Jiang Ning and see the person who was living in the world.
The sword spirit inside Jiang Ning.
"That's weird. Hey, Sword Spirit, please come out. She knows you are here." Jiang Ning said to Sword Spirit.
But the sword spirit disliked the North Pole Immortal very much and refused to show his face no matter what.
"You don't want to see me, do you?" the Arctic Immortal shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Only he himself can experience this feeling of not getting what he wants.
"Let's get down to business. When she discovered the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus, she used a formation to protect it here, but this formation needed a core, and I couldn't be more suitable." said the Arctic Immortal.
Jiang Ning was stunned. What he meant by this was that the Arctic Immortal had made the core of this formation?
"That's not right, didn't she leave a clone behind?" Jiang Ning asked confused.
"Clone? You only mean the saint, right? This is what I asked for."
As he spoke, the Arctic Immortal told Jiang Ning what happened that year.
At that time, he was just a very weak immortal, a spiritual immortal living in the Peach Garden.
Although his cultivation level is low, he is happy and happy in a paradise land far away from conflicts.
It was in Taoyuan that he met the newly arrived Sword Spirit.
Although Sword Spirit never thought it was an encounter
"Later, the Ice Tribe invaded Taoyuan Land in a large scale. They blocked the surrounding space to prevent the Arctic Immortal Sect from coming to help. And I took on the responsibility of informing the Arctic Immortal Sect. Who would have thought that a little person like me could do what even the immortals couldn't do?
As for the matter, they still don’t know that it was actually Sword Spirit who helped me.”
"I entered the Arctic Immortal Sect to practice because of my merits, and my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. I became a heavenly immortal in just tens of thousands of years, until I inherited the position of the leader of the Arctic Immortal Sect."
"Actually, she has been helping me along the way. Without her, I would have died when the Ice Tribe invaded the Taoyuan Territory."
The North Pole Immortal said that after that, he launched a passionate pursuit of Sword Spirit until Sword Spirit was willing to give him a chance.
"The opportunity she gave you is to let you give up your immortal body and become the core of the formation to coexist with the Heart-Eating Ice Immortal Lotus?" Jiang Ning murmured.
"Did she tell you?" asked the Arctic Immortal.
Jiang Ning shook his head, it was entirely his own speculation.
"Although I still don't know what the Heart-Eating Ice Immortal Lotus is, but as far as the formation deployed here is concerned, the specifications of this formation are quite high, at least it has reached the limit that the Earthly Immortal Realm can carry."
"Such a high-level formation to protect the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus requires a self-sacrifice of an immortal as the core. The purpose of the formation is to blend with the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus. As the core of the formation, you have been protected for so many years.
Integrate with the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus."
"If the Heart-Eating Ice Immortal Lotus is taken, you will also die." Jiang Ning said solemnly.
Jiang Ning has already guessed that what gave the Arctic Immortal a chance was actually taking advantage of him from the beginning.
"You are really smart and really different."
"She told me at the beginning that she was looking for such a person, a very ordinary person but the most unique person in the world. Now she has found this person, and my task is to hand over the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus
Him." said the Arctic Immortal.
And Jiang Ning felt from his words and emotions that he couldn't wait for relief.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ning stopped and was about to continue speaking. The Arctic Immortal asked the sword spirit about his thoughts.
"Yes, your guess is correct. I went to Taoyuan Land to find an immortal who can risk myself and serve as the core of the formation to guard the Heart-Eating Ice Fairy Lotus."
"He is very good and very tenacious. Once he makes a decision, he will never look back. He is perfect to be used as the core of the formation."
"As for which saint is the core of the formation, I'm lying to you. Of course you didn't ask me."
"And why I want to leave a clone behind is also the request this old guy made to my original body." Sword Spirit explained.
"But why do you want to peel off the emotional side of the clone?" Jiang Ning asked.
This question was arousing. Sword Spirit paused for a few seconds and then immediately explained.
"Okay, stop talking and think of other excuses to lie to me. I think you don't want to give him hope, or you don't want him to succeed."
"Are you afraid that your clone will fall in love with him if you stay here?" Jiang Ning asked in a solemn voice.
Sword Spirit was panicked for the first time. He couldn't explain himself and could only change the topic.
"Hey! The Heart-Eating Ice Immortal Lotus is what you should care about. Are you always obsessed with wondering what I do with all this nonsense?" Sword Spirit said unhappily.
"Well, it depends on what you said, I just want to get to know you." Jiang Ning pouted.
These words silenced Sword Spirit again.
"Is it as simple as just wanting to know more?" Sword Spirit said with a bad smile.
Are you, Jiang Ning, interested in Sword Spirit?
"What are you thinking? I am very pure towards you, okay? Besides, I am not as scumbag as you think."
Jiang Ning came back to his senses and looked at the Arctic Immortal again.
And the Arctic Fairy seems to already know the answer.
"You don't need to say it. In fact, I know everything. How should I put it, she saved my life in the first place. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am now. I just think of it as repayment." The Arctic Immortal sighed.
What Jiang Ning wants to ask is, is it worth it for him to be so crazy? The sword spirit is actually just a weapon spirit.
However, judging from the reaction of the Arctic Immortal, the answer has been given.
Given another chance, Jiang Ning estimated that he would still choose to dedicate himself to become the core of the formation.
"Actually, I'm very satisfied. When he left a clone and stripped away his emotions, he was actually afraid that the clone would fall in love with me. She had more important things to do, so she couldn't have anything to do with me. I understand.
"Yes." The North Pole Immortal smiled.
"Tch, I'm just being sentimental. That's not what I think in my true form." The sword spirit snorted, feeling unhappy with the arctic immortal he thought he was.
And Jiang Ning was even more curious. It wasn't to prevent feelings from arising, and there was no need to deliberately release an emotionless clone to torture the Arctic Immortal. That was what he was deliberately avoiding.
I also think of Sword Spirit saying that she has been in love, so all this can be easily explained.
"Oh! I didn't expect that Sword Spirit, you, like me, fall in love with someone and never look back, haha!" Jiang Ning joked.
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you up!"
This sentence seemed to have stimulated the sword spirit, making her upset.
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. Anyway, I will know in the future. Just because you don't tell me, it doesn't mean that the other clones won't tell me. By the way, I can ask that saint, she has no emotions and won't tell lies, haha!" Jiang Ning
laughed.
This is good, now the sword spirit completely ignores Jiang Ning.
