Xia Hong interrogates Six-Armed about Ruins Fire, learning that dead souls are difficult to destroy and can revive. Six-Armed reveals the existence of three supreme realms: Great Abyss, Dark, and Saint Sun. He also mentions a Great Sage from the Saint Sun Realm and a potential connection between his former homeland and Lingyin Mountain, suggesting beings from both the Dark and Saint Sun Realms are involved in the troubles of Ice Abyss.

The Dark Realm and the Saint Sun Realm are like two sides of the same coin. One side’s beings are born with powerful soul bodies, while the other side’s beings are born with powerful physical bodies. Compared to humans, they seem to have natural advantages.

Both realms’ beings are so eager to descend upon the Ice Abyss, which means the life souls of Ice Abyss humans are extremely tempting for them.

This is not a good thing!

Is the extreme cold of the Ice Abyss their doing?

Suddenly encountering such a huge secret, Xia Hong felt a heaviness in his heart, but also had many previous confusions resolved. However, limited by his strength, there were still many things he only half understood; the core issues could only be guessed at.

Originally, he intended to inquire about the origins of the Holy Tripod and even the Camp system by asking about the Ruins Fire, but judging from Six-Arms’ answer, it was clearly only half-aware, so he couldn’t expect to get too much information from it.

"I’ll spare your life for now. I will go to White Bone Mountain, but rest assured, if there is any danger at White Bone Mountain, I’ll destroy you first!"

Xia Hong didn’t waste any more words, let out a cold laugh, and without looking at Six-Arms’ expression, directly put it into the Silver Box and then into the Yellow Mustard Bag.

"The priority is to save people, but the foremost thing is to ensure my own safety. The Cultivation Elixirs on me are still enough to support cultivation for five to six days, so within these few days, I’ll first enhance my strength as much as possible. Seventy kilometers is not far, I can gradually approach White Bone Mountain."

The half-day of cultivation results were truly astounding. Given this high cultivation efficiency, Xia Hong was certainly in no hurry to proceed.

Xiahou Yong and Jiang Yiqing only possess Cold Resistance Level Cultivation, meaning by normal logic, they’d be doomed upon entering the Dark Realm. However, the Scattered Spirit earlier said that three people were running towards White Bone Mountain, which proves the two are temporarily fine, likely with Li Baobao.

It’s just unknown whether Li Baobao is protecting them or if there are other reasons!

"First enhancement, within five or six days, breaking through to the Peak of Xianyang is surely possible; there might even be a chance to breakthrough to the Tribulation Body..."

Having made up his mind, Xia Hong took a slow breath, gazed towards the west, and found a nearby gathering place of spiritual bodies, approaching it slowly.

Only relying on Dan Medicine wasn’t enough; absorbing a large amount of these spiritual bodies would enhance much faster. Being near Qi Mountain, he was a bit fearful of using the Shattering Divine Light, but he could still use the upgraded Soul Suppressing Tripod a little.

Thus, Xia Hong devised a total six-day cultivation plan; while slowly approaching the western White Bone Mountain, he exterminated and absorbed those Scattered Spirits along the way, starting a mad enhancement.

.........

Boom!

Just as Xia Hong was crazily enhancing his cultivation in the Mist Swamp Forest, seventy kilometers to the west, beneath the White Bone Giant Mountain, amidst an endless snow-white dense forest, Li Baobao was in utter distress under the pursuit of a raging fire.

"What is this place! How can there be such bizarre trees and those soul-bodied creatures without physical forms? Only by summoning the Golden Body and using Tribulation Qi can I harm them, but there are too many. Relying on myself alone, I can’t possibly handle this, now it’s troublesome!"

Having spent half a day in this part of the world, Li Baobao had escaped from a group of Wandering Souls in the previous dense forest, making her way to the White Bone Giant Mountain, and roughly figured out some patterns.

In this world, life forms basically have no physical entity. Her usually relied upon powerful physical body was completely useless here, she could only rely on the Golden Body.

As is well known, summoning the Golden Body in the Tribulation Body Realm means unleashing all one’s strength, a state that cannot be maintained for long, at least not during the Tribulation Body Realm.

Initially, upon figuring out this pattern, she had wiped out over a dozen Wandering Souls, thinking she could escape this world with her own strength. But upon leaving the dense forest and coming to this White Bone Giant Mountain, she was instantly dumbfounded.

The reason why the mountain she’s on is named White Bone is that its trees are all snow-white and extremely similar to bones, some resembling humans, some resembling beasts, and others were species she couldn’t identify.

A mountain formed by bones would already be eerie enough, but the mountain also having a large number of roaming Wandering Souls was ridiculous. The key point is, these patrolling Wandering Souls wore armor, wielded weapons, just like human soldiers.

"Luckily, my Boundary-breaking Pearl in my forehead allows me to see them. In the Ice Abyss, the Boundary-breaking Pearl charged by absorbing Deceitful Monsters. The spirits previously slain were all absorbed by the Boundary-breaking Pearl, so these spirits are of the same origin as the Ice Abyss’ Deceitful Monsters. They are probably the same kind of creature. So, have I come to a world of Deceitful Monsters?"

Boom......

Li Baobao narrowly dodged the raging fire behind her, glancing back at the thousands of armored Wandering Souls closing in from behind and on both sides. Her exquisite face immediately showed hints of panic.

The Wandering Souls she encountered earlier in the dense forest were mostly unformed, but those here had fully taken shape and even wore armor and wielded weapons, clearly much stronger.

Indeed, during her escape, she had already sparred with some of those Wandering Souls, finding them to be far stronger, with weapons even capable of harming her Golden Body.

"Facing so many Wandering Soul soldiers, getting surrounded would be certain death, but my physical body is useless here. I can only rely on the Golden Body for Sky Control, can’t fly high, nor fast. How can I run..."
