Chapter 279 The Inheritance of the Gu God is No Child's Play
I became even more curious about Mr. Jiang.
General Manager Zhao stood warily beside Jiang Mo: "President Lin, what brings you here?"
Lin Tianyan made a reassuring gesture: "Don't be nervous, I'm not an enemy."
"The 'Sky Eye' saw a terrifying future through the 'Eye of Destiny.'"
"If the anomalies in the Arctic are allowed to continue, the entire world will be plunged into a millennia-long ice age, and human civilization will be destroyed."
"I've come here to invite Mr. Jiang to join forces and resolve this crisis together."
Jiang Mo's eyes gleamed: "I appreciate Chairman Lin's kindness."
"But the Gu God lineage has its own way of dealing with this, so there's no need to trouble the Heavenly Eye Society."
Lin Tianyan sighed: "Mr. Jiang, why be so wary? In ancient times, didn't the Gu God and the Tianyan Society cooperate quite well?"
Jiang Mo sneered: "Yes, until the Heavenly Eye Society attempted to steal the power of the Gu God, leading to a complete break between the two factions."
Lin Tian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "That's all in the past, why hold onto it?"
"The current crisis is the most important thing. Tianyan Society is willing to provide all its resources and intelligence to assist Mr. Jiang in fighting against the Ice Gu King."
Jiang Mo was silent for a moment, his gaze deep: "President Lin, the Heavenly Eye Society's sudden enthusiasm for helping probably isn't just about resolving the crisis, is it?"
Lin Tianyan smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiang is indeed intelligent."
"Indeed, the Heavenly Eye Society has always been very interested in the power of the Gu God and hopes to re-establish a cooperative relationship."
"If Mr. Jiang is willing to share a portion of the Gu God's legacy with the Heavenly Eye Society after resolving the crisis, we will be extremely grateful."
Jiang Mo said calmly, "The inheritance of the Gu God is no child's play. Not just anyone can master it."
"However..." Jiang Mo thought for a moment, "If President Lin could provide accurate information about the Ice Gu King..."
"I can consider teaching the Heavenly Eye Society some basic Gu techniques after the crisis is over."
Runes flickered in Lin Tian's eyes, clearly weighing the pros and cons: "Alright, it's settled then!"
He took a crystal ball from his pocket and placed it on the table: "This is a specially made 'Frost Detector' from the Heavenly Eye Society; it can accurately locate the Ice Gu King's position."
"According to our observations, the Ice Gu King is currently located in a place called 'The Abyss of Eternal Freeze' within the Arctic Circle."
"That's the deepest glacial crevasse in the Arctic, and also the area with the most intense cold."
Jiang Mo took the crystal ball, and saw a blue and white ice field appear inside.
In the center is a bottomless black rift, surrounded by countless blue points of light.
"The Abyss of Eternal Freeze..." Golden light flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes. "The Gu God's memories contain this place; it is indeed the source of extreme cold power, suitable for the Ice Gu King to lurk."
Lin Tianyan added: "There's another point to note. According to the Tianyan Association's prediction, a celestial phenomenon will occur in four days."
"The aurora borealis will be in full bloom, and the energy in the Arctic will reach its peak at that time."
"The Ice Gu King might take advantage of this opportunity to fully activate all the Frost Marrow Ice Gu, at which point it will truly be irreversible."
Jiang Mo nodded: "Four days is enough. Let's set off today."
Lin Tianyan solemnly said, "Then we, the Tianyan Society, wish Mr. Jiang every success."
"If you need any help, feel free to contact me."
After saying that, he handed a jade pendant to Jiang Mo: "This is a 'Heavenly Connecting Talisman,' which allows you to contact me directly."
Jiang Mo took the jade pendant and sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation emanating from it, but there was no malice in it.
"Thank you." Jiang Mo thanked him simply and put the jade pendant away.
After seeing Lin Tianyan off, President Zhao looked at Jiang Mo with a complicated expression: "Mr. Jiang, Tianyan's sudden intervention is probably not as simple as it seems."
Jiang Mo smiled calmly: "Of course I know the Sky Eye Society has something to hide."
"However, dealing with the Ice Gu King is the most important thing right now; other matters can be dealt with later."
"At least, the information they provided was accurate."
Mr. Zhao nodded: "In that case, I'll arrange transportation immediately. We should be able to reach the edge of the Arctic Circle by tomorrow morning at the earliest."
Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
After Mr. Zhao left, Feng Baobao asked worriedly, "Jiang Mo, do you really trust the Sky Eye Society?"
Jiang Mo shook his head: "No, I was just using them."
"The Heavenly Eye Society and the Gu God lineage have a long-standing feud; their assistance this time must have ulterior motives."
"But we do need their intelligence and resources right now. It's not too late to deal with the Heavenly Eye Society after we've resolved the Ice Gu King's threat."
"I'll have a brilliant plan then."
Seeing that Jiang Mo was confident, the three women stopped asking questions and began preparing the equipment needed for their journey north.
Jiang Mo returned to his training room to continue recovering his strength and researching special Gu techniques to cope with the extreme cold environment.
"The Ice Gu King, the Heavenly Eye Society, and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master who may be lurking behind the scenes..."
A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Mo's golden eyes, "Whoever tries to block my path will ultimately be purified by the power of the Gu God!"
The next morning, the company's custom-made aircraft was ready.
This is a newly developed supersonic aircraft that is not only fast but also equipped with various devices to cope with extreme environments.
Jiang Mo, Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, and Wei Duoduo boarded the plane on time.
General Manager Zhao personally saw him off: "Mr. Jiang, this mission is extremely dangerous. The company has arranged for a special operations team from the Nordic branch to meet you at the destination."
"In addition, these are the special items you requested, and they have all been prepared."
Mr. Zhao pointed to several specially made boxes inside the cabin.
Jiang Mo nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
"There's one more thing," Mr. Zhao lowered his voice, "...regarding the Sky Eye Society, our intelligence department has discovered..."
"They have recently had close ties with a Nordic organization called 'Aurora Cult'."
The Aurora Cult claims to communicate with the divine through the aurora borealis, and their leader, the "Aurora Bishop," is said to possess the ability to foresee the future.
"Mr. Jiang, please be very careful; there may be a more complex network of relationships behind this."
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light: "I understand, I will pay more attention."
After the plane took off, Jiang Mo immediately checked the specially made boxes.
The box contained various unique materials: Frost Jade Powder, Ice Silkworm Silk, Snow Lotus Essence, Arctic Ice Marrow... all precious items for coping with extremely cold environments.
Jiang Mo nodded in satisfaction and began to refine a special protective Gu according to the method in the Gu God's memory.
"Jiang Mo, what are you doing?" Feng Baobao asked curiously as she leaned closer.
Jiang Mo continued working, explaining, "I'm refining the 'Golden Gu Cold-Resistant Pearl,' which can withstand extremely cold environments and protect us from frostbite."
The Ice Gu King's Frost Marrow Ice Gu can freeze not only the physical body but also the soul; ordinary warming measures are utterly ineffective against it.
Only special protective Gu (a type of poisonous insect) crafted using the Gu God's techniques can truly provide protection.
Golden light shimmered between Jiang Mo's palms as the materials gradually fused together under his control, eventually forming four thumb-sized golden beads.
