Master of Strange Dao

"Is this one, normal this time?"

"Not normal, the time is too short. When frozen, it's impossible for a corpse to transform.

And the last time I was here, everything for dozens of miles around was frozen, there was no way to retrieve the old Family Head's body.

The old Family Head was a pure Qi Refining cultivator, even if there was a corpse transformation, it couldn't have become so strong in such a short time."

The two had just spoken a few words when they saw frost appearing on the sealed metal coffin, with cold qi continuously pouring out.

The Big Array sealed on top was forcibly frozen and shattered under the influence of the cold qi, and the metal coffin also changed color, suddenly crumbling with a cracking sound.

The Big Zombie charged out from inside once again.

But this time, the Big Zombie had a cold current swirling around its body, causing frost to condense out of thin air all around.

Yu Ziqing called out.

"Wang Zixuan."

In the next moment, Wang Zixuan responded to the call, glancing over in this direction.

"Borrowing a perspective."

Yu Ziqing borrowed Wang Zixuan's perspective and looked again, seeing that the Big Zombie's body surface was flowing with an eerie blue halo.

Circle after circle of halo radiated out endlessly, where it passed, icicles were condensed out of nowhere.

Meanwhile, Wei Jing and Wei Tai also began to emit cold qi, with a thread of icy power emerging within their bodies, seemingly stemming from the same origin as the Big Zombie.

It also fit very well with the environment here.

Yu Ziqing realized at this point that this old guy Wei Jing wasn't being straightforward; there were some important things he hadn't mentioned.

And their method to avoid and resist the Extreme Cold Stream was exactly the method Wang Zixuan had described.

It wasn't relying on flame to resist but cultivating a power of the same origin to withstand the cold current.

"Elder Wei, what do we do now?"

"Let's seal it again, we avoid it."

"Continue deeper in?"

"Yes."

"Senior, don't you have anything else to say?"

Wei Jing remained silent.

Yu Ziqing shook his head in disappointment; he didn't want to probe the secrets of the Wei clan, but in this situation, it was obvious that this Big Zombie was connected to that kind of blue halo power. Yet this old guy was still hiding things, making it pointless.

With a thought, Yu Ziqing flicked his finger, and a thread of Blood Flame appeared.

"Don't... don't use fire."

Wei Jing exclaimed, trying to stop him, but saw that the Blood Flame fired off Yu Ziqing's finger had already merged into the Big Zombie's body.

Blood Flame was not an ordinary flame; once it entered the Big Zombie, it started to burn everything of the Big Zombie.

The Blood Flame and the eerie blue halo collided violently, yet the flame was not extinguished, and after a few breaths, a dazzling stream of light emerged.

In the next moment, the halo suddenly swept across, filling every visible corner.

All the surrounding sounds, everything, seemed to have disappeared.

After the halo dissipated, Yu Ziqing discovered he was in water; Wei Jing and Wei Tai were gone, and so was the Big Zombie.

The water no longer had yin cold qi, and the eerie blue halo was gone.

One could even see some small fish the size of a finger, seemingly frightened, floating quietly there.

Yu Ziqing lifted his head, vaguely sensing a bit of daylight, he floated to the water's surface, looking around.

This was a huge lake, and around the lake, you could see towering mountains, with lush vegetation at the foothills, turning into coniferous forests halfway up, and transforming into snow peaks at the top.

The entire world was filled with a serene and peaceful aura.

In the sky, the Great Sun hung like a disc, while high above, a fireball several thousand feet high hovered silently.

There, Yu Ziqing felt a presence like that of deities.

He could even feel that the huge fireball was falling, with a long tail trailing behind like it was frozen in time.

Silently calculating where the fireball might fall, it seemed just in the most core region of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

This was a scene before the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land appeared; back then, this place was not a bleak, icy wasteland.

Yu Ziqing flew into midair, gazing into the distance; everything before him was indeed as he imagined.

There were snow mountains, but beneath them, life was thriving.

After the fireball's fall, everything changed.

Just then, the Big Zombie from earlier flew over from a distance, still with a wound on its chest.

But this time, there was complete spiritual wisdom in its eyes; upon seeing Yu Ziqing, it even saluted from afar.

"Wei Feng, meets the ancient deity Your Excellency."

Yu Ziqing examined the Big Zombie, but did not reply.

"Only an ancient deity can enter here."

"You too?"

"The Wei clan isn't, but the Wei clan possesses part of the power of the deity who fell here."

"Oh, I see, that's why Wei Jing was so secretive, afraid of others coveting it."

"Clearly, he overthought it; Your Excellency wouldn't covet the power here."

"What is the situation here?"

"The ancient deity who fell here, at the moment before falling, kept this instant with supreme divine power, retaining a thread of vitality.

Unfortunately, They were too gravely wounded, and even Their immortal rank was shattered by someone with unknown power.

Their power dissipated, becoming the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

But a part was also obtained by other people, never to be whole again."

"Their greatest impediment is people like you who gained Their power, right?"

The Big Zombie smiled and nodded readily.
