Chapter 387
Chapter 387 – (Title at bottom of chapter)
Jiang Chen threw his glance at Wu Jiu first. Wu Jiu was the most important person right now, because with his status, position, and strength, he could ensure the safety of Jiang Chen’s friends. But at the same time, Wu Jiu was the person Jiang Chen worried about the most.
“Brother Jiu, I still want to remind you to keep a close eye on the Imperial Emperor. I hope that before I come back, you can stay in the Martial Palace without getting in touch with the Imperial Emperor. Also, don’t let Little Yu and my friends leave the Martial Palace.”
Jiang Chen reminded with a solemn expression. Although the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect didn’t defeat Jiang Chen this time, but with their approaches, it was impossible for them to give up. They would definitely seek other means to get Jiang Chen into trouble. Also, the Imperial Emperor had ill feelings toward Wu Jiu. Therefore, the best option now was to keep everyone in the Martial Palace.
“Rest assured brother, your brother Jiu will make sure all of them are safe!”
Wu Jiu pounded his own chest as he spoke. He was still very confident in himself.
“Alright, I’ll have fewer worries with brother Jiu’s help.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head. After that, he turned to Han Yan and said, “Brother Yan, brother Nan, you two follow brother Jiu and leave us here. I have something to tell Little Yu and Big Yellow.”
“Little Chen, what are you thinking about?”
Nangong Wentian turned to Jiang Chen and asked.
“Do you remember that Black Altar we saw before leaving the Island of Ice? When the exit was activated, there was an ancient Teleport Formation next to it! We were in a rush to leave the island, and had no time to check it out. If that Teleport Formation is still working, we can use it to reach the Southern Continent!”
Jiang Chen recalled the Teleport Formation on the Island of Ice. It was a huge Teleport Formation, and it was more than enough to send them to another continent.
“Little Chen, that’s useless. The Island of Ice only appears once ever hundred years, and we don’t even have any clue where the Island of Ice is right now, let alone the Teleport Formation on the island.”
Nangong Wentian felt speechless.
“Perhaps I can make a miracle happen. Take a look, what is this?”
Jiang Chen flipped his palm, taking out a bright bronze plate.
“A bronze plate? I thought all nine bronze plates disappeared when the gate to the ancient pagoda was opened? Why do you still have one with you? No, this bronze plate is different from those nine, those bronze plates looked rusty and broken like some scrap metal, but this bronze plate is shining brightly? Just what is this bronze plate?”
Nangong Wentian asked in a shocked manner.
“The truth is, the nine bronze plates didn’t disappear that day. Right after the gate to the ancient pagoda opened, they merged together into a brand new bronze plate. I took it and kept with me without anyone else finding out, that’s why you guys thought they had disappeared.”
Jiang Chen explained. After leaving the Island of Ice, he hadn’t paid any attention to this bronze plate, and had nearly forgotten about it. However, when he mentioned the Teleport Formation just now, it instantly emerged into his mind.
“However, what is the usage of this bronze plate? Can it point us to the Island of Ice?”
Nangong Wentian asked.
“We need to give it a try.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen shot his Divine Sense out from his sea of consciousness into the bronze plate. In an instant, a buzzing sound could be heard from the bronze plate as it began violently vibrating. It seemed like the bronze plate was an object without any owner, and right after it received Jiang Chen’s Divine Sense, it immediately resonated with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s Divine Sense was swimming within the bronze plate’s inner space. At the beginning, all he saw was a murky void, but when his Divine Sense was accepted by the bronze plate and resonated with it, everything became much clearer.
Jiang Chen could clearly see a routed that led to a specific spot in the ocean. On that spot, a magnificent Island of Ice was floating on the surface of the water.
“I found it, I found the exact location of the Island of Ice!”
Jiang Chen was really surprised.
“What?”
Nangong Wentian cried out in surprise. Jiang Chen really found the exact location if the Island of Ice with this bronze plate, this proved that the bronze plate had a tight connection with the Island of Ice, as it was used to open up the gate to the ancient pagoda, and now used to give them the exact location of the Island of Ice. This meant that they could use it to enter the Island of Ice.
“I have gained the acceptance of this bronze plate, we can rush to the ocean now and find the Island of Ice. With the help of this bronze plate, we should be able to enter the Island of Ice without any problems, and even find the Black Altar with ease. If we can activate the Teleport Formation, travelling to the Southern Continent will be a piece of cake.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Haha, this is great! Little Chen, you truly are an amazing man capable of achieving anything, I feel great joy when travelling with you!”
Nangong Wentian burst into laughter. Being able to travel together with Jiang Chen, who was a man with a tremendous destiny, felt really enjoyable to him. It was as if no matter how big the problem they faced was, Jiang Chen would always find the perfect solution. Now, they had found the exact location of the Island of Ice, and if they were able to use the Teleport Formation, it would simply save them months of travelling time. For Nangong Wentian, this was truly good news.
“Let’s move, we need to reach the ocean first. It’ll take us about two days to reach the ocean if we travel at full speed.”
Jiang Chen stored the bronze plate back into his storage ring, then both men started flying with incredible speed, dashing through the dark night like two ghosts, and leaving behind afterimages wherever they passed.
Two days later, in the dark night. Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian finally arrived at the ocean’s border. Jiang Chen took out the bronze plate and sent his Divine Sense into it. The location of the Island of Ice had become much clearer now.
“The Island of Ice is hidden in a secret location within the ocean, I can feel it through the bronze plate.”
Both men continued their journey and flew toward the location of the island.
