Master of Strange Dao

As he spoke, Wang Zixuan paused slightly, feeling his words might have been too definitive.

"Of course, normally even if one dies, they can be resurrected.

But if swallowed by that one sleeping deep in the Fallen Abyss, then one truly dies.

Their power will be absorbed by It, and once revived, they will never be annihilated.

Truly undying and indestructible.

The change you triggered by renaming the Evil Ghost to Hostile Ghost was a shake to the foundation.

He would naturally react a bit, but whether Evil Ghost or Hostile Ghost, the tribe is still that group of ghosts.

But if It were to revive, He would certainly remember you."

Wang Zixuan doesn't want that one to revive; he believes Yu Ziqing also surely doesn't want that one to revive.

He seizes the chance to sow discord and let Yu Ziqing understand his stance.

"You mean your little black ones might actually be replaced by others from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World?"

"The world has become unrecognizable to me now, so I can't say there's no possibility."

Wang Zixuan wished for someone to lend a hand in this matter.

Whether Yu Ziqing is to save those still fallen, or to kill those people, he is happy, willing to help, and naturally shares information freely.

As long as there's no one else in the Fallen Abyss aside from the one who's still asleep.

Letting that one's plans be thwarted, so It remains asleep until the world crumbles is best.

"So, here's the question: You merely learned that one's secret, why does He have to kill you?"

"..."

Wang Zixuan fell silent instantly.

He remained silent for a long time.

"The most core secret, more important than the True Name.

It's like the True Name of the Heavenly Demon falling into the hands of your human race; it's a weakness that may lead to deliberate annihilation.

He won't allow anyone knowing this secret to live, He'll devour the secret along with them.

Even if I told the entire world this secret, it would be useless.

When He devours me, He will also devour the secret stemming from me."

Yu Ziqing nodded contently, seizing numerous free bits of information here and there.

This Wang Zixuan was indeed adept at selling information, even stating specifically, I tell you these secrets not to harm you, knowing the secret won't make you a target, only I, Wang Zixuan.

"Alright then, let's talk about the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land."

Wang Zixuan was somewhat speechless, realizing he got off-topic earlier.

"There's nothing much to say here, you've seen it all.

The reason it became like this is because part of the rank was shattered, merging into this place.

Once clearly understood, the various dangers derived from it aren't impossible to avoid."

"Fine then, as you mentioned, I'll help ensure you aren't targeted by that one, not letting you die here.

You help me find what I'm looking for.

I want to find the entrance to an abandoned Yin Devil Nest, roughly located near the core of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land."

"Impossible, there's no way there's an entrance to the Yin Devil Nest here!"

"Hmm?"

"The one fallen here, the former master of those shattered ranks, was very much at odds with the Lord of Yin Devils."

"Wouldn't it make sense to place the nest entrance on the opponent's grave, so you have to tread over it each time going in and out?"

"..."

Wang Zixuan opened his mouth, struggling to find a rebuttal.

Finally resorting to silent cursing, those humans are really wicked, understanding all sinister schemes at a glance!

"You help me find the location first."

"Alright, but if by any chance..."

"If you encounter that one, come find me immediately, or send me a message. I promise at all costs, even if it's the end of the road for me, I'll arrive first, dying before you!"

Yu Ziqing made things abundantly clear to Wang Zixuan, leaving him speechless.

After all, what Yu Ziqing is asking him to do isn't particularly challenging for him.

Wang Zixuan departed to seek the entrance to the supposed Yin Devil Nest for Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing grinned broadly.

Since Wang Zixuan couldn't possibly encounter the elusive worry of his.

Wherever Yu Ziqing goes, the Earth Devil Venerate is there too.

The external storms gradually quieted, Wei Jing was bringing out maps to teach his two juniors how to find relatively safe paths.

Numerous things could only be taught here, allowing them to experience firsthand for understanding.

The pure theorists who engage in armchair strategy would likely meet tragic ends following theories blindly here.

Wei Jing glanced at Yu Ziqing meditating some distance away, patting the shoulder of the young man.

"Wei Lan, moving further ahead, I can't guarantee safety anymore.

You are the most gifted of the younger generation, remember what I said before.

If there's an unstoppable change, you must go first.

The path you personally tread will be the fire to explore again in the future."

The young man's eyes reflected some reluctance, but he solemnly nodded.

Wei Jing understood Wei Lan's thoughts, young men often have a high opinion of themselves, especially after coming through unscathed along the way.

Wei Jing looked at the middle-aged man.

"Wei Tai, remember this."

"Understood, for the sake of the bigger picture." Wei Tai nodded.

Days later, the group set out once again.

After crossing several snowy mountains and arriving at an expansive plain, it's evident that the frequency of Extreme Cold Stream occurrences increased significantly, and their velocity also quickened quite a bit.

Occasionally, within a large area, the interplay of ice pillars and ice shards nearly sealed off all space there.
