Mo Wuji did not even consider as he directly inserted the key into the keyhole of the stone door. If this was any other place, he might have observed carefully before doing this.
But here, he could not afford to hesitate. Who knew, someone might come over at any moment. Moreover, Mo Wuji was reassured that this place had just been bombarded by someone not long ago. Even if there was any danger, it would not appear until he arrived.
The key was inserted into the keyhole. Mo Wuji twisted his hand slightly. The stone door let out a creaking sound as it slowly opened.
An extremely cold aura seeped out. Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept in, but he could only see a patch of white. His eyes could not see anything at all. Just as Mo Wuji was about to continue observing, his spiritual will scanned a hundred meters away. Two cultivators had already walked in carefully.
Mo Wuji hurriedly took out the key and his figure flashed as he entered the extremely thick stone door. The stone door was still open. Mo Wuji forcefully tried to close it, but there was no reaction. He could only let the stone door do as it pleased. Ignoring the cold in the depths, he charged in.
"There's a stone door here …" The cultivator in front saw the stone door that Mo Wuji had opened and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The cultivator behind was a woman. She also saw the stone door and she soon discovered that the stone door was closing.
Previously, when the stone door was opened, Mo Wuji wanted to forcefully close it but was unable to do so. Now that Mo Wuji had entered the depths, the stone door automatically closed.
"Do you want to go in?" The male cultivator asked doubtfully.
The woman did not even answer the male cultivator's question. Her figure sped up and she charged through the stone door in the shortest time possible. She used her actions to tell the male cultivator whether he wanted to go in or not.
Seeing the female cultivator enter, the male cultivator also sped up and followed behind the female cultivator. After the two of them entered, the stone door let out a deep sound and closed once again.
"Junior Sister Xia, what is this place?" The male cultivator who entered later discovered that this place was a patch of white. He immediately asked.
Junior Sister Xia did not reply immediately. Clearly, she was sizing up her surroundings. Thereafter, she took out an illumination stone. In the next instant, she carefully replied, "I didn't expect the illumination stone to be useless here. Even though I don't know what this place is, this stone door is definitely not simple. Besides … "
Junior Sister Xia lowered her voice, "Senior Brother Xiuran, we have to be careful. The abrupt opening and closing of the stone door indicated that someone had been here before us. Also, I feel like someone is staring at me. "
Mo Wuji hid by the side and did not move immediately. He had already seen clearly that this place was, strictly speaking, a much bigger hall than the place they landed in.
This hall was very strange. Apart from the white mist, there was nothing else. If one had to point out something, it would be a faint entrance in the middle of the hall. Just like the entrance to an underground room, Mo Wuji's spiritual will could feel the first few dozen ice steps.
That male and female cultivator were still moving around slowly, searching around. Mo Wuji knew that they would find him sooner or later. Fortunately, the Illumination Stones were useless here. There was only a vast expanse of white mist.
Mo Wuji made up his mind. In a flash, he entered the entrance to the basement and landed on the ice steps.
An extreme chill spread over, causing Mo Wuji to shiver, and he almost retreated out of the room.
"Junior Sister Xia, I just saw a shadow flash by." Senior Brother Xiuran stopped and said cautiously.
"I saw it too. Let's go take a look." Junior Sister Xia finished speaking and walked towards the entrance of the ice steps. She seemed to be much more daring than Senior Brother Xiuran.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will naturally detected the two people behind him. The ground below was getting colder and colder. Even though Mo Wuji circulated his elemental energy with all his might, his body was still frozen stiff.
If not for the two people behind him, he might have gone back up. Now that there were two people behind him, if he went back, he would meet them. With his cultivation level, he was definitely not a match for them.
Bracing himself, Mo Wuji could only continue walking down. After walking another ten steps, Mo Wuji could no longer endure it. This cold was going to freeze him to death.
"Kacha!" Just at this moment, Mo Wuji seemed to have stepped on something, and a cracking sound could be heard.
His spiritual will was focused on the two people behind him, but he actually forgot to pay attention to his feet.
Almost at the same time, an illumination stone was thrown over by the people above. The illumination stone seemed to be useless in the misty icy space outside. However, at this ice step, one could clearly see the situation below.
Mo Wuji had already stepped on something. His body stiffened, and he was choked by the illumination stone. He immediately rolled down.
"I recognise him. It's the fella with the lowest cultivation level … Eh …" The male cultivator spoke halfway before exclaiming excitedly, "There's an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal below …"
Even though Mo Wuji was rolling down the ice stairs from a height of tens of meters, he was still in a daze from the fall. However, this was not important to Mo Wuji. Within a few seconds of landing, he had lost all feeling in his body. Even though he heard the words' Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal ', he did not have any ability to move. He knew that he was about to freeze to death.
The cold here was simply too frightening. Every strand of cold air seeped into his bones. There was no way to stop it.
At this moment, his blood was gradually freezing. The skin on his hands was visibly changing colour, turning pale white. Perhaps in a short while, a casual knock from something would turn his hands into ice shards.
"We can't go down here. It's too cold. We can't take it …" The male cultivator walked to where Mo Wuji was previously. He finally realised that the lower he went, the colder it got.
"Kacha …" The thing that Mo Wuji stepped on was also stepped on by the female cultivator in front of him. This female cultivator lost her balance. While the male cultivator was speaking, she casually grabbed onto the male cultivator. The extreme cold caused their bodies to be incomparably stiff. They were unable to react softly. In the next instant, the two of them were like Mo Wuji, rolling down like ice balls.
Mo Wuji no longer had the time to care about these two. His heart was filled with sorrow. Before entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had already thought that he might not be able to get out. However, he did not expect that he really would not be able to get out.
Mo Wuji's consciousness started to blur. He felt that his soul was about to leave his body.
Not far away from him was a man and a woman. Even though their cultivation level was much higher than Mo Wuji's, they could only struggle to stand up.
Evidently, the two of them were not struggling to collect the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. Instead, they were struggling to crawl back to where they came from. However, the two of them only managed to walk a few steps before falling back to the ground. The terrifying cold made them completely unable to resist.
Seeing the female cultivator's despairing face, Mo Wuji's blurry consciousness suddenly jolted. He became slightly more clear-headed. This might be the final radiance of a setting sun. However, Mo Wuji saw Yan's face. He saw Yan's pitiful ending after he died.
She must not die. She definitely must not die.
However, this terrifying cold was not something that his willpower could withstand. Even though he did not want to die, death was still slowly approaching him.
If only there was a huge furnace. Mo Wuji suddenly thought of the Earth Fire Vent at the end of the first tunnel.
Just as he thought of the furnace, Mo Wuji's frozen eyes lit up. He thought of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky.
The first time he cultivated the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, the terrifying temperature from the inside to the outside almost burnt him to ashes. The cold in this place came from the outside to the inside. If he cultivated the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky...
He was about to freeze to death. No matter how terrifying the Seven Styles Lightning Sky was, Mo Wuji had no fear. Without hesitation, he gathered his last strand of energy and started to circulate the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky.
In just half a circulation, that terrifying burning sensation rose from Mo Wuji's dantian. Then, it instantly spread to all the meridians in Mo Wuji's body.
Mo Wuji circulated the Seven Styles Lightning Sky's cultivation technique even more frantically. Being frozen to death or being burned to death by fire was still death. He had no fear.
The terrifying burning sensation finally spread from Mo Wuji's meridians to his bone marrow, and from his bone marrow to his body.
The terrifying burning heat from the inside collided with the equally terrifying coldness from the outside. Mo Wuji's body started to evaporate. His hands slowly regained their softness, and his body gradually regained its senses.
That kind of alternating hot and cold torment made Mo Wuji feel an indescribable pain. However, Mo Wuji's heart was also filled with an indescribable joy.
Back when he first obtained the incomplete first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, he almost went berserk and was burned to death by the internal fire. Now that he was cultivating the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky in this cold place, he actually only suffered from pain, and his life was not affected at all.
The same thing, in a different environment, actually produced such a huge effect. A technique that had almost killed him had actually saved his life here.
With regards to physical pain, Mo Wuji did not know how much he had experienced, but he could endure it.
"Kacha!" Mo Wuji felt as though something within his body was broken. An indescribable energy filled his dantian and meridians.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, and multiple lightning bolts exploded in the surroundings.
These lightning bolts exploded into pieces of ice. Mo Wuji looked at his palm in surprise. He knew that his body contained the power of lightning, and sometimes, he would involuntarily display it. However, this was the first time he was able to control and display this power.
The heat within his body seemed to have decreased slightly, and the cold outside seemed to have gained the upper hand. Mo Wuji did not dare to try the first style again, and continued to cultivate it. Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that the burning sensation within his body was gradually disappearing. This meant that if he continued to cultivate the first style, it would no longer have that terrifying feeling of igniting the flames.
Under normal circumstances, this would be the best thing that could happen to Mo Wuji. But now, it was a fatal blow to Mo Wuji. Once he lost the blazing flames in his body, he wouldn't be able to withstand the terrifying cold.
Mo Wuji's gaze landed on the two cultivators. The two of them had long been frozen to death, and had turned into two ice sculptures. Further away from the two, there was a round ice altar. Within the ice altar, there were two snowflake-like objects. Mo Wuji had never seen a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal before, and he did not dare to confirm whether this was a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
Mo Wuji had never seen a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal before, and he did not dare to confirm whether this was a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. However, he found out from the male cultivator that this should be a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
This thing was like a living plant, and not a lifeless crystal.
