When Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Mercury Gourd, the Crazy Alcoholic had already steered the ice mountain to very unfamiliar territory.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The Xuan Yin Wind in the air was even more violent. Some formed into human shapes and hit the sea surface, lifting up huge waves in the Abandoned Deep Sea.

The temperature was shockingly low. According to Zhang Ruochen’s estimates, even a Half-Saint would probably freeze to death.

Half-Saints and Saints had very high vitalities. In Kunlun’s Field, they could rule over a piece of land, but they would become very weak here. They couldn’t withstand the extreme cold, just like regular humans.

“Is this place habitable? Even a Saint would freeze if they accidentally fell into the sea. This is terrifying.”

Zhang Ruochen had the Jingmie Divine Fire, so he wasn’t afraid of the cold. But he still felt shocked.

The Crazy Alcoholic’s hair and whiskers were all covered in ice. Drinking the Dragon Fire Wine, he said, “We’re already close to the center of the Abandoned Deep Sea. It’s known as the Yin center of the Yin Yang Sea and one of the coldest places in Kunlun’s Field.”

“Is there news of Huang Yanchen and the others?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“A short while ago, I caught a Saint from the imperial court. According to him, he personally saw those girls and cat enter the center of the Abandoned Deep Sea.”

A silver-white coastline appeared in the distance. One couldn’t see its end. It was like the edge of the mainland.

Zhang Ruochen went to the peak of the ice mountain. Gazing toward the coastline, he was taken aback. “How can there be such an icy land in the center of the Abandoned Deep Sea? The water here won’t freeze naturally. What’s going on?”

The Crazy Alcoholic was also confused. Then terror flashed past his eyes. “That’s not land. That’s an ice mountain. It’s just too big, so it looks like icy land.”

“There’s no land?”

“Indeed.”

Zhang Ruochen gasped, muttering to himself, “How can this be?”

“There are two possibilities,” the Crazy Alcoholic said. “First is that countless beings died here. Each one formed an ice mountain and they connected to form this ma.s.s of land.”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit moved. “How many beings must die to create such a huge piece of land?”

“The second possibility is even more terrifying.”

“How can it be?”

The Crazy Alcoholic’s expression turned solemn. After a long silence, he said, “The stronger the being, the bigger the ice mountain after he dies. What if there is only one corpse under this landma.s.s? That is even more terrifying.”

Zhang Ruochen was dumbfounded. “One corpse forming this piece of land…”

The Crazy Alcoholic nodded. “Both possibilities show that this place is extremely dangerous. We can’t go in so brashly. According to my years of escape experience, we cannot step foot onto this land. At least, I’m not going.”

The ice mountain came to the edge of this land and stopped. The Crazy Alcoholic was too scared and refused to step foot onto the land. He even wanted Zhang Ruochen to return with him.

“Fine! If you won’t go, I won’t force you, but I am definitely going.”

Zhang Ruochen pushed off from the ice mountain and flew into the sky like a big bird. He landed steadily on the land.

The Crazy Alcoholic stood at the top of the ice mountain and called, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re going to die there anyway, so why don’t you give me the Mercury Gourd? You’ll be contributing to the rise of humanity.”

“Don’t jinx me.”

Zhang Ruochen really wanted to slap the Crazy Alcoholic. He hadn’t even truly ventured into the icy land and the man was already giving him the death sentence.

The Crazy Alcoholic wasn’t satisfied. Staring at Zhang Ruochen’s backside, he called again, “Give the Mercury Gourd to me for safekeeping. I’ll return it when you walk out alive. If you lose this priceless treasure in the icy land, what a loss it’ll be…”

Zhang Ruochen ignored him. He sped up, disappearing in the stinging wind.

The icy land was a vast and boundless tundra. There were no living things. Occasionally, there were some amazing mountains that didn’t fall even in the Xuan Yin Wind. It was incredible.

Zhang Ruochen suspected that Blackie, Huang Yanchen and the others might’ve really entered this land. Blackie’s physical body might be sealed here.

Entering the land, Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was further restricted. His own eyes and ears were stronger.

Zhang Ruochen used a physical technique and rushed to the top of a peak. Using the Saintly Eye, he searched for traces of the others.

Boom.

A beam of silver light streaked past. There was a figure inside. It crashed into a mountain and fell onto the plains with a loud boom. A large ma.s.s of ice crystals flew up like a white cloud.

“That’s… Ao Xinyan’s aura…”

Overjoyed, Zhang Ruochen used the Great Spatial Move and hurried to where the silver light had fallen.
