Mo Wuji didn’t even consider it, he directly grabbed the key and sent it into the keyhole of the stone door. If it was somewhere else, perhaps he would have carefully observed it before making this move.
But here, there was no room for him to hesitate, maybe someone would come over the next moment. What’s more, what reassured Mo Wuji was that this place had been forcefully bombarded not long ago, even if there was any danger, it wouldn’t have waited until he came.
The keys were extremely matched and fed into the keyhole, Mo Wuji’s hand twisted slightly and the stone door let out a creaking sound as it slowly opened.
An extremely icy cold aura permeated out, as Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts swept in, he could only see a white blanket, and his gaze couldn’t see anything at all. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to continue observing for a while, his divine thoughts swept a hundred metres away, and two cultivators had already carefully walked in.
Mo Wuji hurriedly drew out the key and turned into the extremely thick stone door with a flash of his figure. The stone door was still open, and Mo Wuji closed it with force without any response. He could only go by the stone door, not caring about the icy coldness in the depths, he just rushed in.
“There’s a stone door here ……,” the cultivator who walked in front of him spotted the stone door that was opened by Mo Wuji and immediately said in surprise.
The cultivator at the back was a woman, who similarly saw the stone door, and she quickly realised that it was in the process of closing.
Previously, when the stone door was opened, Mo Wuji wanted to force it to close, but as a result, he failed to do so. Now that Mo Wuji had entered the depths, the stone door had instead automatically started to close.
“Should we go in?” The male cultivator asked doubtfully.
The woman didn’t even reply to the male cultivator’s words as her figure sped up and rushed into the stone door in the shortest time possible. She used her actions to tell the male cultivator to go in or not.
Seeing the female cultivator go in, the man also sped up and followed behind the female cultivator and rushed in behind the stone door. After these two rushed in, the stone door let out a muffled sound and closed on again.
“Senior Sister Xia, what kind of place is this?” The male cultivator who came in after him immediately asked when he realised that this place was simply a white blanket.
Senior Sister Xia didn’t answer the first time and was clearly surveying her surroundings before she took out a Bright Light Stone. The next moment she carefully replied, “I didn’t expect the Bright Light Stone to not work here at all, although I don’t know what kind of place this is, it’s definitely not simple as there’s a stone door in this place. And ……”
Saying this, Senior Sister Xia lowered her voice, “Senior Brother Xiuran, we have to be more careful. The fact that the stone door of this place suddenly opened and closed again indicates that someone had come in before us. And I always feel like there is a gaze staring at me in general.”
Mo Wuji hid to the side and did not act immediately, he had already seen clearly that this place was technically a bigger hall than the place they had initially landed.
This great hall was very strange, there was nothing but white icy mist. If one had to say there was something, it would be a hidden entrance in the middle of the great hall. It was like an entrance to a basement, and Mo Wuji’s divine sense was able to reach the initial dozen or so ice steps of the entrance.
The two cultivators, the man and the woman, were still slowly moving around to explore, Mo Wuji knew that sooner or later, these two would explore to his side. It was a good thing that the Bright Light Stone couldn’t work here either, there was only a white blanket of ice fog.
Mo Wuji made up his mind, his figure flashed and he directly entered that entrance to the basement and landed on the ice steps.
An extreme icy cold extended over, causing Mo Wuji to jolt and almost exit again.
“Senior Sister Xia, I just saw a shadow flash by.” That Senior Brother Xiu Ran stopped and said cautiously.
“I saw it too, let’s go over and take a look.” After finishing her speech, Senior Sister Xia went ahead and walked towards the entrance of the ice steps leading downwards, her guts seemed to be much bigger than that Senior Brother Xiu Ran’s.
Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts naturally swept the two people who followed behind, it was getting colder and colder down below, even though Mo Wuji was puffing out his Yuan Qi with all his might, his entire body was frozen as if he had stiffened up.
If it wasn’t for the two people behind him, he would most likely return up. Now that the two people behind him were following him over, he returned back just in time to meet these two people. With his cultivation, he was definitely not a match for these two.
With a stiff upper lip, Mo Wuji could only keep going down. After another ten or so steps, Mo Wuji couldn’t hold back any longer, this icy cold would freeze him to death.
“Ka-ching!” Right at this moment, Mo Wuji’s feet seemed to have stepped on something and let out a click.
His divine thoughts were paying attention to the two people behind this, and he unexpectedly forgot to pay attention to his feet.
Almost at the same time, a Bright Light Stone was thrown over by the people above. The bright light stone didn’t seem to work in the ice foggy space outside, but at this ice step, one could clearly see the situation below.
Mo Wuji had stepped on something, and with his body stiffening up he was choked by the bright light stone and immediately rolled down.
“I recognised it, it’s that kid with the worst cultivation …… eek ……” The male cultivator shouted in excitement and surprise when he was halfway through speaking, “Below this is the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal ……”
At a height of more than ten feet, even if he rolled down the ice steps, Mo Wuji was still dazed from the fall. These were completely unimportant to Mo Wuji, his entire body lost consciousness within seconds of landing, even if he heard the words Infinite Soul Forging Crystals that he craved for the most, he was incapable of any action, he knew that he was about to freeze to death.
The icy cold here was simply too terrifying, every trace of cold air was seeping into the bone marrow, there was no way to stop it.
At this moment the blood was also gradually frozen, the skin on his hands was discolouring and becoming pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Perhaps in a little while, with a random knock with something, his hand would turn into ice slag.
“We can’t go down here, it’s too icy cold, we can’t withstand it …….” The male cultivator walked to where Mo Wuji had walked to before, and finally realised that the further down he went, the colder it got.
“Ka-ching ……” The thing that Mo Wuji stepped on earlier was also stepped on by the female cultivator who was walking in front of him, this female cultivator’s body lost her balance, and she casually grabbed the male cultivator with her hand while he was talking, and directly grabbed him. The extreme freezing cold also made the two men’s bodies stiff and incapable of making soft reactions. The next moment the two were just like Mo Wuji, rolling down as if they were ice balls.
Mo Wuji had long since had no time to care about these two people as a kind of sadness welled up in his heart. Before entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had thought about whether he would not be able to get out, and he never thought that he would really be unable to get out.
Mo Wuji’s consciousness gradually blurred as he felt that his soul was about to leave his body.
A man and a woman who were not far away from him, even though their cultivation was far higher than Mo Wuji, they could only barely struggle to stand up in this kind of place.
Obviously the two were trying to struggle not to collect the Infinite Forging Soul Crystals, but rather they were struggling to crawl back the way they came. It was just that after the two had taken a few steps, they once again sat paralysed on the ground, the ghastly icy cold, leaving them completely powerless to resist.
Seeing that female cultivator’s despairing face, Mo Wuji’s blurred consciousness was suddenly startled as he woke up a little. This might be a flashback, but Mo Wuji saw Smokey’s face. He saw Smokey’s miserable end after his death.
Can’t die, absolutely can’t die.
However, this ghastly icy cold was simply not something that his will could withstand, even if he didn’t want to die anymore, death was still slowly pushing into him.
If only there was a big fireplace, Mo Wuji suddenly missed the ground fire opening that he saw at the end of the first passage.
Almost the instant he thought of the fireplace, Mo Wuji’s frozen eyes lit up as he remembered the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles.
The first time he cultivated the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles, that horrendous temperature from the inside almost burnt him to ashes. The icy cold of this place was from the outside in, if he cultivated the first of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder ……
were about to be frozen to death, as terrifying as the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles were, Mo Wuji was also fearless, he didn’t hesitate to gather his last ounce of strength to start revolving the first of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles.
In just half a week’s time, that hideous burning sensation of flames rose up in Mo Wuji’s dantian before instantly spreading to Mo Wuji’s entire body meridians.
Mo Wuji was even more frantic as he ran the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles cultivation dharma, being frozen to death and being burnt by fire were both deaths, he was fearless.
The hot and horrible burning sensation finally burned from Mo Wuji’s meridians to his bone marrow, from his bone marrow to his flesh.
That ghastly sizzling burn from the inside clashed with the icy cold that was just as ghastly outside. A mist began to evaporate from Mo Wuji’s body surface, his hands slowly regained their softness, and his body gradually regained its senses.
That torment of cold and heat caused Mo Wuji an unspeakable pain. However, Mo Wuji’s heart was even more filled with an unspeakable surprise.
Back when he had just obtained the first of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Broken Styles, he had almost gone off the rails in his cultivation and was burnt to death by the internal fire. Now that he was cultivating the first stance of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles in this freezing cold place, he was actually only suffering from pain while his life was completely unaffected.
The same thing, in a different environment, actually produced such a great effect. A technique that had almost placed him on death’s doorstep had saved his life here instead.
With regards to physical pain, Mo Wuji didn’t know how much he had experienced, he could endure it.
“Ka-ching!” Mo Wuji then felt as if something within his body had been broken, and an indescribable power filled his dantian and veins.
Mo Wuji raised his hand and waved it out as several streaks of lightning exploded around him.
These several streaks of thunder light blasted out a piece of shattered ice slag, and Mo Wuji looked at his palm in surprise. He knew that he contained lightning source power within his body, and sometimes he would involuntarily cast it out. However, it was the first time that he had cast out this kind of power under his own control.
The fiery heat inside his body seemed to have reduced a little while the icy cold outside seemed to be taking over again. Mo Wuji didn’t dare to try this first stance again, and even more so, he kept cultivating this first stance. Soon enough, Mo Wuji realised that the flame-like burning sensation within his body was gradually going to disappear, which meant that his continued cultivation of this first stance would be devoid of that ghastly feeling of igniting flames.
If it was in normal times, this would be the best thing for Mo Wuji. Now, it was a fatal blow to Mo Wuji. Once he didn’t have that scorching flame in his body, he simply wouldn’t be able to withstand this horrendous cold.
Mo Wuji’s gaze landed on the two cultivators, a man and a woman, who had long been frozen to death and turned into two ice sculptures. Further away from the two people, there was a circular ice altar, in which two snowflake-like things were blooming. There were no leaves, and there was only a half-foot long ice cream-like rhizome below the snowflake shaped crystals.
Mo Wuji had never seen a Limitless Soul Forging Crystal before, and he was not sure if this was a Limitless Soul Forging Crystal. He learnt from the male cultivator earlier that this should be the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal.
This thing was like a living plant rather than that kind of dead crystal.
