And so, several months passed...
Tang Yin had been running all over the great desert for a long time.
He never thought this desert was so big.
He had been running almost all day long and only slept for a few hours at night, and then continued his run. Although he had some trouble because he encountered some spiritual beasts, he still managed to escape and had made the most of his time, despite that, he still saw desert everywhere.
'Good thing I bought enough food...' He thought in shock, might starve to death if he hadn't bought enough food.
After all, the wild beasts of this desert were scarce, and the spiritual ones were difficult to hunt.
On one occasion, he almost died because he had entered the territory of a beast tens of thousands of years old, a worm that almost ate him in one bite.
Still, he did not stop and continued his lonely journey.
He saw some people in the distance carrying huge loads with carts pulled by wild beasts and spirit beasts. But he did not approach them.
If they were going towards the city from which he had set out, they might carry information about him, and that would be bad.
Occasionally, a few flying boats passed by at high speeds as well, but nothing noteworthy to Tang Yin.
Thus...
Months continued to pass, and 1 year after leaving Dark Sand City, Tang Yin began to feel the cold of the northern region and arrived at a city that had another anomaly.
This city, is considered small, as it was about the size of Blizzard Flower City.
When Tang Yin saw this city, he rejoiced and shouted for joy.
"Hahahaha, shit, I finally made it to a city. Fuck, how is it possible that this stupid desert is so big? Over 1 year of travel just to cross from Dark Sand City to this city." Tang Yin thought.
All this time, he had been equally angry at how huge this desert was.
He would love to see this desert from above so he could gauge its size, but now he could only rejoice and run to the city.
When he arrived, he was surprised.
'Another anomaly? Even one of this impressive style.' Tang Yin thought as he saw that this city had two halves.
The half that was towards the desert was a desert city like any other. While the half that was more towards the north was a land of cold, a bit icy.
Finding natural anomalies is a strange thing, but it is always nice to see, so when he arrived in the city, he went sightseeing for a few days and bought various things.
He ate some food and found that the food in the cold part of the city was much more delicious than the food in the hot part of town.
It was a strange but unique contrast.
During this time, Tang Yin became known in the city, as this was a city that seldom received visitors.
Everyone here was a native except for a few exceptions, like Tang Yin.
"Young Master, when you can, come again, the city is always open." Said a few people behind Tang Yin, and he smiled and nodded to them before boarding the flying boat that would take him to the true north region.
During his time in the city, he made several friends, especially among those who sold food.
As a food lover, Tang Yin ate a lot of different things these days. Those people were the ones behind him, seeing him off.
'This city has as many good people as the first day I arrived.' Tang Yin thought with a smile as he left with a good impression of this city, but he could not stay.
Because it is not a city that receives many visitors, it is a large city but sparsely populated. And because of that, they have no transportation networks between the central cities, moreover, it is in a small empire on the borders of the northern region. That is why Tang Yin had to rent a private flying boat entirely, paying a large amount of money.
Soon, the private flying boat began to fly to the center of the northern region.
It would be another long trip because the flying boat was not very fast, still, it was faster than walking or running.
Tang Yin simply enjoyed the scenery the rest of the way as he saw that it was gradually no longer raining, but snowing heavily.
The forests were gradually being painted white the further into the northern region he went, and the cities, were completely painted white.
As Tang Yin was looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, someone spoke to him from behind.
"Young Master Tang, please put this on." Said a man who came behind Tang Yin and passed him some special coats made from the skin of an animal.
The people driving the boat were four people, this was the captain and owner of the boat.
"Mr. Liao, thank you very much." Tang Yin replied with a smile and put on the coat.
"From here on, it will be much colder. It's better to be safe than sorry." Liao Ben said with a friendly smile as he approached Tang Yin at the prow of the boat to look at the scenery, and Tang Yin nodded to him.
"I can see that you know a lot about the northern region, have you traveled there?" Tang Yin asked, and Liao Ben nodded wistfully.
"Although you see me now as a normal person and I have no strength, in the past I was a cultivator who traveled this region with a big smile on my face and pride, accompanied by my wife." Liao Ben replied with a nostalgic smile on his face.
Tang Yin was a little surprised.
"Were you crippled?" Tang Yin asked, and he nodded.
"Yes... At that time, I was a talented cultivator seeking to reach the top. I was born in a small village, but I was able to reach so high so I said to myself, what can stop me? And with my wife, we went all over this region as a talented duo, recognized geniuses, but..." In the end, Liao Ben shook his head with a helpless smile.
"When we faced a true genius, we could only give in to his power. Unfortunately, that person was too powerful and wanted to humiliate us, so we ended up like this." He replied.
Tang Yin then nodded and remembered something.
"Could it be that he is a person from the Second Great Sect in this place? I remember you told me that, if I wanted to go there, you couldn't take me because you are not allowed to enter there... Is that so?" Tang Yin asked, and Liao Ben nodded.
"That's right, right now that person is an elder of that sect. Really someone talented." He replied.
"Unfortunately, that also involved our daughter and... We have no idea where she is anymore." Said Liao Ben, at last, filled with nostalgia and sadness.
Their beautiful daughter had been kidnapped by that Sect, and they, as normal little humans, what could they do?
They could only watch helplessly as she was taken away.
Tang Yin was shocked that this was so and looked at him in shock but said nothing to him.
"Young Master, that sect is dangerous, so I ask you to be careful. If you are in Asgard City nothing will happen to you, but try to avoid entering the Icy Tower City, the sect there is not good." Liao Ben said, and then turned around and walked back into the control room.
His face was one of pure helplessness and pain.
'Icy Tower Sect, huh. What a shameless sect... But it's strange, could it be that the Spiritual Weapon they inherit is very good, for them to choose to kidnap her like this?' Tang Yin thought doubtfully, but there was no answer to his question unless he asked Liao Ben.
Even then, he wouldn't. It was none of his business.
After that, the trip passed without any event.
And so, more than one month had passed traveling, and he was finally able to see the Northern Asgard City...
