I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 567 War God Record

Good guy!

Five tasks came at once!

If all of this is completed, it will be worth a full million points of enlightenment, plus a mysterious grand prize.

The system really went all out this time, Ye Kang was deeply moved, and without stopping, he went straight into the despairing ice field ahead.

A vast expanse of white glaciers covered the land; as far as the eye could see, there were only ice sheets of unknown thickness and endless snow and wind.

There was a biting cold wind at all times, and walking on the ice field, I looked like a small black dot, feeling very lonely.

Such a place is so dangerous that not only would the northern barbarians dare not come, but even some martial artists with weak cultivation levels would have to turn their backs on it.

However, before he had gone far, Ye Kang saw a group of tall and strong people.

They wore animal skin coats, their muscles bulging, and both men and women wore masks made from the skulls of wild animals.

Ye Kang scanned the group with his divine sense and found that they were all martial artists, and all of them had a cultivation level of more than eight lotus petals. The two strongest of them had even advanced to the first pillar.

Ye Kang found it quite interesting. Martial artists of this strength would be considered gods in the Great Jin Dynasty, yet they were willing to explore such a treacherous place.

Curious, he flew down and landed in front of the group of people.

Instantly, several murderous intents swept over, and the group of people all looked at Ye Kang with extreme vigilance.

After scrutinizing his attire, they exchanged a glance and quietly retreated.

One of them asked, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"

Ye Kang smiled with his hands behind his back: "There's no need for you all to be nervous. I'm just a traveler. There's no one else around in this glacier. I just happened to run into a few people and wanted to say hello."

Upon hearing this reason, their hostility only increased.

"Do you think we're fools? This place is dangerous, who would come here to travel? If I'm not mistaken, you've also come for that precious treasure that's about to be unearthed."

"Hmm? A treasure?"

Ye Kang laughed. This really came without any effort; the Nine Revolutions Auspicious Star Technique had worked its magic again.

I was just wondering where I could participate in the treasure hunt, and the treasure came to me on its own.

His expression immediately hardened: "I didn't expect you all to have guessed this. That's right, with such a great treasure appearing, how could I, Xie Jinghong, not come and join in the fun?"

"Xie Jinghong? Who is that?"

"Never heard of him, just some nobody, right?"

The group immediately relaxed their guard. Although this person's cultivation level was not obvious, he probably only had some kind of profound concealment method and could not possibly be a powerful old monster.

One of the Divine Sea Realm warriors cupped his hands and said, "So it's Brother Xie. Is this your first time in the Despair Ice Plains?"

"That's right. I come from the south and was sent by my master to travel north. I happened to hear that there are treasures here, so I came to take a look."

"From the south..."

The group murmured among themselves, and then a girl from the Lotus Realm asked curiously, "Is the South really fun? I heard from the tribe's merchants that there are many large rivers in the South."

Although the others didn't speak, their big, blinking eyes told Ye Kang that they also wanted to know.

Ye Kang was puzzled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, there are rivers everywhere and four distinct seasons."

"That's wonderful... If I had the chance, I'd love to go to the South too..."

"Why not go?" Ye Kang asked curiously.

The man at the Divine Sea Realm shook his head and said, "The rules of the War God Cave stipulate that all tribes that have learned the War God Manual are not allowed to go south and can only live on the border of the Ice Plains forever."

"The War God's Manual?"

"It seems you are indeed from the South, as you don't even recognize the supreme divine skill of the War God Cave."

Another middle-aged man at the Divine Sea Realm chuckled, his tone quite arrogant.

Ye Kang was not annoyed, and cupped his hands, saying, "Please enlighten me, brother."

"The War God Cave is the guardian deity of all tribes in the Northern Plains. They have many powerful warriors who can fight against glacial behemoths with their physical bodies and protect our tribes from being eaten by the behemoths."

The man straightened his chest, his words filled with respect.

"Later, the people of the War God Cave felt that relying solely on their protection was not a solution, so the cave master of the War God Cave generously passed down their inherited cultivation technique, the War God Manual, which all the tribes of the Northern Plains could learn. The only requirement was that they could not go to the south."

After they finished speaking, all of them showed extremely devout eyes and performed a tribal salute in one direction.

Ye Kang was greatly surprised.

Why is the War God Cave so different from other sects? They actually shared their inherited cultivation techniques like that.

Can this still be called inheritance?

Seeing Ye Kang's expression, the martial artists were not surprised.

After all, the greatness of the War God Cave is something these southerners cannot understand.

One of them said, "Since we have the chance to meet, why don't you travel with us and tell us about your experiences in the South?"

"So good."

Ye Kang didn't refuse and immediately joined in.

The group chatted as they walked. Being martial artists, they were unaffected by the cold and became more and more enthusiastic as they talked.

Ye Kang also gained a general understanding of the situation in the northern ice field from their explanation.

The Northern Plains they spoke of were a place even further north than the habitat of the barbarians in northern Jin.

There is no concept of nation-states here, only countless tribes of all sizes.

These tribes' lifestyles were not much different from the barbarian tribes below, only more primitive and savage.

However, under the influence of the War God Cave, most tribes have been practicing the War God Records for nearly ten thousand years.

In other words, just like the Coral Islands, this place is home to a group of powerful independent cultivators, including some geniuses who used the War God's Manual to raise eight pillars and lead their tribes to glory.

Their cultivation resources and methods are even simpler and more direct.

Fight against glacial behemoths and grow stronger by exploring the ruins deep within the ice plains.

This kind of mindless cultivation method has a general name in the Coral Islands.

Body tempering warrior.

That's right, everyone here, like Ye Kang, enjoys body tempering.

Rather than saying that the War God Manual is a technique that specializes in body tempering, it is more accurate to say that it is a technique that specializes in body tempering.

This piqued Ye Kang's interest.

Although he loved body tempering, he didn't really have any proper body tempering techniques other than the Demon Body Tempering Method.

However, he has no way to obtain it now, because the War God's Manual is engraved on totem poles, just like the Tyrant Whale Manual, and one comprehends it by visualizing the totem pole.

Each tribe has only one totem pole, which cannot be taken out.

Ye Kang can't learn it now even if he wants to.

In addition, the people Ye Kang encountered were actually from a small tribe.

Half of the tribe's experts are here.

The strongest is called Zhamu, one of the two pillars of the Divine Sea.

They came out this time because they heard that the treasure was very suitable for having children. Their tribe was experiencing problems with reproduction, so they wanted to take the treasure back to help with reproduction.

Ye Kang almost slipped and fell when he heard this reason.

These people are really reckless; they actually dared to rob the treasure just for this?

This fits the stereotypes that people have about us body-tempering martial artists.
