Now, Zhou Wen felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only was he under immense pressure, but he also felt dizzy as his heart raced.
Under the protection of the Dragon Scale Armor, the Demon Dragon True Body still felt his skin flush with blood as though it was about to crack.
What made Zhou Wen even more uncomfortable was that everything he saw was a mysterious dazzling light. It was as though he was looking at a kaleidoscope. He couldn't even see the ice castle or the ice maiden in front of him. He couldn't hear anything either. All his senses seemed to be useless. Only his seventh and eighth senses were still useful.
Zhou Wen opened his mouth and realized that he couldn't even speak. He couldn't make a sound.
Zhou Wen felt as though he had fallen into a space of despair. The feeling was almost enough to break him down.
Don't tell me the ice maiden wants to harm me? Zhou Wen was alarmed.
He hurriedly summoned Truth Listener. The ability Truth Listener gave him immediately restored his hearing. The ice castle and the ice maiden appeared in his mind again.
The ice castle was still the same ice castle, and the ice maiden was still the same ice maiden. In Truth Listener's hearing, everything was normal, but when he used his senses to look and listen, he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't even have a sense of touch.
Zhou Wen closed his eyes helplessly. As he couldn't make a sound, he could only use his fingers to write in the air. "Why is this happening?"
"It's really not easy for you to still be able to maintain a portion of your body's functions. This is a dimensional space, a space far higher than Earth. Here, if your life level doesn't reach the required level, you won't be able to see the existence of this world." The ice maiden was somewhat surprised that Zhou Wen could still use his body to write.
"I've been to a dimension before, but I didn't feel this way." Zhou Wen wrote again. He had some suspicions. The last time he went to retrieve the divine fruit, he didn't feel this way.
"Then you definitely didn't go to the real dimension," the ice maiden said with certainty.
"It's a dimension. The last time I went to the divine tree that Teacher was guarding to pluck the divine fruit, wasn't that a dimension?" Zhou Wen wrote.
The ice maiden looked at Zhou Wen in surprise and said, "So the human who took the divine fruit was you. It's no wonder an Epic like you can pick up the Heaven Shrouding Bell without being killed. Looks like you're telling the truth. You're indeed Wang Mingyuan's favorite disciple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to suffer the pain of ten thousand lightning strikes just to let you go. Although it's a dimensional zone, the environment isn't that bad because of the divine tree. You haven't experienced a real dimensional world. "
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback as he hurriedly wrote and asked, "What's the pain of being struck by lightning?"
"Don't you know?" The ice maiden thought for a moment and continued, "That's right. You left after taking the divine fruit, so you naturally don't know what happened later. The divine fruit can be taken away, but the humans who obtain the divine fruit have to sign a contract and become the spokesperson of the dimension in the human world. Wang Mingyuan didn't make you sign a contract and released you back to Earth, so you naturally have to be punished. The pain of being struck by lightning isn't something anyone can endure. Even the closest relatives of the dimensional races might not be willing to suffer it for others. However, he endured it for so long for you. It's not too much to say that you are his most beloved disciple. "
"Teacher actually suffered so much for me. Can you take me to see him?" Zhou Wen didn't know what to feel as he immediately wrote.
"It's useless even if you go now. He's already a dragon king. Even the dragon king who tortured him has been defeated. Who else would dare to torture him? Don't worry. He's fine now. I wonder how noble he is," the ice maiden said.
Zhou Wen felt a little more at ease, but he didn't know how to repay Wang Mingyuan's kindness.
"Are you going to see Emperor of Shang or Wang Mingyuan?" the ice maiden asked.
"To see Emperor of Shang," Zhou Wen said through gritted teeth.
Even if he went to see Wang Mingyuan now, he didn't have the ability to return the favor. Instead, it might bring him trouble. Therefore, Zhou Wen decided not to see Wang Mingyuan for now.
"If you can hold on, follow me," the ice maiden said with a smile as she walked out of the ice castle.
However, Zhou Wen felt that every step he took was against the world. It was extremely strenuous for him to walk. Before he walked out of the ice castle, he felt his vision blur and his ears ring. His legs went limp and he almost couldn't stand.
"If you walk like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach your destination in a few days," the ice maiden said to Zhou Wen as she stood at the entrance of the ice castle.
Zhou Wen knew that the ice maiden was waiting for him to beg her. When the time came, the ice maiden would definitely raise another condition.
Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and wanted to summon Tyrant Behemoth, but after taking a look, he realized that Tyrant Behemoth had been injured by the snake monster. Its injuries hadn't healed yet, so it probably couldn't withstand the dimensional power.
After some thought, Zhou Wen summoned Torch Dragon Youngling. He wanted to see if Torch Dragon Youngling could withstand the power of the dimension and use it as a mount to take him to Emperor of Shang.
After Torch Dragon Youngling appeared, although its situation was slightly better than Zhou Wen's, its movements were greatly restricted. It looked very slow, completely lacking its usual lightning-like speed.
"Torch Dragon?" The ice maiden looked at Torch Dragon Youngling in surprise. Clearly, she recognized Torch Dragon.
Furthermore, Torch Dragon was different from ordinary dimensional creatures. It was an existence with the potential to advance to the Calamity stage. Such dimensional creatures were very rare in the dimension. She never expected Zhou Wen to have a Torch Dragon Companion Beast.
Could it be that Earth is really the birthplace of the dimension? Otherwise, how could there be a dimensional creature like Torch Dragon? The ice maiden was alarmed.
Zhou Wen got Torch Dragon to use World King Transformation. In its World King Transformation state, Torch Dragon's movements immediately became much easier. In its World King Transformation state, as long as it didn't use Bright Torch Vision World, it could still last for a period of time.
Zhou Wen rode on Torch Dragon's back and said to the ice maiden, "Let's go. I don't have much time."
The ice maiden nodded and led the way. She walked very easily. Torch Dragon used all its strength to barely follow behind.
After leaving the ice castle, Zhou Wen saw a stone staircase, but even with Truth Listener's ability, he couldn't hear what was beyond the stone staircase. It was as though it was shrouded in infinite fog.
As he followed the ice maiden through the fog, Zhou Wen could hear terrifying sounds coming from the fog from time to time. The sounds were very strange, and he couldn't tell what they came from.
Here, Zhou Wen couldn't sense the passage of time. He couldn't estimate how long he had walked. When the ice maiden stopped, a strange building appeared at the end of the stone staircase.
"Emperor of Shang is inside. Go in yourself. He probably doesn't wish to see demons, so I won't be going in," the ice maiden said as she pointed at the strange building in front of her.
