Master of Strange Dao

"According to the characteristics of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, any trace of Fierce Sun Qi has completely dissipated, presumably absorbed."

After crossing the mountain range, the deans immediately began their discussion.

As they advanced, someone quickly noticed that the terrain was steadily sinking. Upon excavating through the thick layers of profound ice, they also discovered some remains of living beings beneath.

"The rocks here must have been submerged in water for a long time. The mountains here formed by impact are all evidence..."

A month later, amidst the bitter cold and within an endless expanse of white, the group stood on the ice fields. As far as the eye could see, there hadn't been any changes for over a month.

A few deans were still arguing.

"According to my calculations, this is definitely the central point of the Great Sun Dominating the Sky explosion." A dean from the Lihuo Institute, surrounded by eight floating compasses, pointed at the ground, speaking with firm confidence.

"You said the same thing half a month ago and seven days ago."

"How can research be infallible? It always requires constant adjustments and corrections based on the actual situation.

This damned place has extremely high similarity in various spots, with such harsh conditions, rapid changes, and it's also affected by the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

Regardless, this time I'm quite confident, at least eighty percent sure."

The dean from the Lihuo Institute wanted to argue further, but eventually didn't bother.

Because he actually wasn't that sure either.

This place changes too frequently. If they reached the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, under the influence of the Extreme Cold Stream, the changes would occur even faster.

Even a clan like the Wei Clan, which has explored here for generations, has only mapped out some relatively safe routes; it's impossible to fully understand it.

After discussing for a while, everyone looked around at the unchanging environment, unable to tell how this could be the center of the Great Sun Dominating the Sky explosion.

Yang remained silent the whole time, as he really couldn't see it either.

Since approaching here, he felt he had no familiarity with this place at all.

What he lost wasn't just knowledge, but other memories too.

Back then, he discarded all memories related to here to bypass the Silence Divine Spell.

The people accompanying the deans immediately began digging.

The ice layers were extremely thick, having long frozen into profound ice, with hardness comparable to mysterious iron.

With specially configured potions and unique excavation magical treasures, the pace of excavation wasn't slow.

After several days and digging down over a thousand zhang, they finally saw traces caused by a massive impact.

And the traces of impact were noticeably different from those from a month ago, looking more like a massive impact from top to bottom.

They continually adjusted their excavation direction, spending several more days, and finally unearthed something.

On the ice layer, in a large hole leading directly to the ground, a few deans went down.

Chu Ye was inside as well.

They unearthed a golden body skeleton.

The skeleton was sealed in the profound ice, standing proudly with its head held high, both hands raised above its head.

"A Daoist Pattern Golden Body, the skeleton remains incorruptible; this person was a Ninth Tier body cultivator and must have been very powerful in life."

"Indeed, this surely is the very center point of the Great Sun Dominating the Sky impact; look at the patterns left here."

"It's truly terrifying, the divine charm has dissipated, and yet Daoist patterns without divine charm remain."

"So, was this body cultivator here at that time? Or was his skeleton already here a century ago?"

"Unclear, perhaps it was already here. The number of powerful body cultivators in the world is extremely few, and there's no record of any of them falling."

Chu Ye stood there silently, his eyelids slightly drooping, suppressing the tumult in his heart.

He knew this person.

He was one of Yang's Dao Guardian in the past.

Very few knew about this person, and Chu Ye only found out by accident.

Back then, he and Yang went out together; neither had entered the Dao yet and were very weak. An unexpected situation arose, and it was this person who suddenly appeared and saved both of them.

He knew the other was a body cultivator because this person endured the collapse of a grotto heaven with his physical body, saving the two of them.

He didn't know why this body cultivator was willing to be Yang's Dao Guardian, as Yang never mentioned it.

At the moment, Chu Ye suppressed the intense turmoil in his heart and glanced covertly at Yang.

Yang, like the others, didn't remember this person who used to be his Dao Guardian.

Chu Ye understood that something significant must have happened here back then.

This Dao Guardian stayed behind to cover the retreat, ultimately dying here.

Yang's other Dao Guardian also fell, which Yang does remember; Chu Ye heard Yang mention it.

As for everything else, it's gone, with many critical things forgotten.

But Yang still instinctively sensed danger, and ultimately survived. One aspect was Yang's unexpected method of survival, using the evil Dao's Beast Creation Skill to transform into a sheep.

On the other hand, it was purely a matter of luck.

Had those pursuing exerted a bit more effort, leaving no stones unturned, Yang would have perished.

Yang himself was puzzled as to why there was no further turmoil afterward.

Currently, Yang, like the other deans, was studying the frozen skeleton.

He couldn't remember much, relying on the knowledge and expertise of the other deans.

When the group of deans joined forces and complemented each other, it far exceeded his expectations.

These deans found the exact center of the Great Sun Dominating the Sky explosion in a little over a month.

Only making two directional errors along the way, they found the general location the third time, and after constant adjustments, precisely located this skeleton.
