Master of Strange Dao

However, this method has been incorporated into a seemingly superstitious procedure.

Or perhaps, this is also a method to test the people accompanying them.

If someone doesn't even want to follow in this minor matter and intends to cause trouble, the Wei Clan can stop the losses in time.

At that time, by slightly deviating from the found safe path and encountering some thrilling but harmless incidents, they could use it as an excuse to return and avoid offending people openly.

After all, in this world, claiming there are ominous signs and that moving forward may lead to a fall isn't necessarily just a trick to fool the naive.

These families with long lineages, regardless of their current power, must have some skills if they manage to live peacefully without offending others.

Now that they had calmly crossed the Hengduan Mountains, Yu Ziqing roughly understood Wei Jing's attitude.

Wei Jing was indeed very satisfied with Yu Ziqing, being very tactful, and after setting off, he really listened to the guide's words without a single question. Wherever the guide said to go, he followed.

In places with established paths, it's best not to irresponsibly express immature opinions.

Past the Hengduan Mountains, without seeing the big picture clearly, they were first struck by blinding light, and a bitter cold rushed over them.

Moments later, after adjusting to the light here, they saw clearly that most places were covered with ice and snow, with only a very few sheer cliffs exposed.

In a world completely covered with ice and snow, it was silent to the point of deathly stillness, with not even a bird in sight.

Just crossing a mountain range made the temperature drop significantly.

"It's colder than before..." Wei Jing murmured softly, then turned to look at the pair, one yellow and one blue.

"Remember, caution is most important. No matter what happens, you must prioritize survival and fall back."

They continued forward; no one dared to fly, because there might be invisible Extreme Cold Streams descending from the sky, entirely unpredictable.

In the following half month, although the pace was slow, Wei Jing, with his rich experience, always found safe paths.

Half a month later, Yu Ziqing suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, looking up towards the distance, seeing no changes.

He remembered the Extreme Cold Stream Wei Jing mentioned and looked up at the sky, seeing cloudless clear skies and the sun shining high.

The next moment, Wei Jing suddenly shouted low.

"Quickly, get into the valley bottom, enter the cave where we rested just now."

Their actions were swift, covering several miles in breaths and darting into a cave with a narrow entrance.

The next moment, through the cave entrance, Yu Ziqing saw a distant snow-covered peak swiftly turning into an ice mountain.

With a cracking sound, an avalanche occurred, but the snow, collapsing like giant waves, fell only a few feet before freezing solid in place.

The previously pure white snow peak began to radiate a faint blue glow.

The next moment, cold Qi surged through the cave entrance, causing a layer of frost to instantly form, and then it thickened, eventually becoming a light blue thick ice.

Yu Ziqing, standing slightly closer to the entrance, noticed his own Qi-Blood circulation seemed to slow slightly due to the sudden cold Qi.

"This is the Extreme Cold Stream, invisible and hard to sense.

To detect it in advance, one must always observe or cultivate special Dharma Methods.

Or be like you, a Body Cultivator with a naturally strong physical perception.

But even so, like today, only being able to detect it a few breaths early is normal."

Wei Jing's internal power fluctuation was minimal, resisting the severe cold solely by the flow of his strength.

"Also, when an Extreme Cold Stream appears, don't use fire; it's very dangerous.

Let's wait; this bout might take one or two days to end.

Legend says, the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land is the highest place in the world, closest to the Void.

The Extreme Cold Stream falls from the Void."

Yu Ziqing said nothing; he knew the normal Void wouldn't have such things.

It's not like he hadn't been to the Void...

"But encountering the Extreme Cold Stream does indicate one thing, that we've already stepped into the outskirts of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

Be careful; I feel the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land is even more unpredictable than last time I was here.

Not only is the environment dangerous, but also those monsters long dormant in the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land may awaken."

"Hmm? Are there living beings there?"

"Not normal living beings, by rights, those monsters shouldn't awaken in this season.

But now nothing is normal, so it's not certain."

"What kind of monsters are they approximately?"

"Bodies made of ice and snow, nearly impossible to kill, even if you destroy their bodies, they can quickly revive in this environment.

Body cultivation has a Divine Skill called Blood Rebirth, you're aware of it, right?

It feels quite similar to that Divine Skill, anyway, try not to provoke them.

Those monsters hold grudges intensely."

Three days later, Wei Jing took out a candle and slowly burned the solid ice sealing the cave entrance, taking an entire day to melt it, and they walked out again.

Outside, it was already faintly shimmering a light blue, and Yu Ziqing touched the solid ice, finding it comparable to the lowest grade of Profound Ice, difficult to melt by ordinary flames, harder than Mysterious Iron.

Continuing forward, before long, after crossing several mountain ridges, the land ahead transformed into an endless plain.

"From here on, it's considered stepping into the range of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

Where Brother Qing wants to go, you must cross here, and you can't fly over it."

While speaking, Wei Jing pointed to the sky.

In the distance, countless ice pillars pierced the ground, growing thicker and rising higher, the sharp ice ridges forming as if someone was casting a Secret Technique.
