Li Wei and Gu Sewei flew down into the Extreme Cold Abyss together.

He kept his Spiritual Perception continuously active, on alert for any sudden currents of extreme cold.

To do so, he had to endure the jarring sensation the frigid environment inflicted upon his Spiritual Perception.

Li Wei felt as if the chill was about to freeze his Sea of Spiritual solid.

Fortunately, a blazing sun resided within his Sea of Spiritual, capable of dispelling the spiritual chill’s assault.

When Li Wei’s senses detected an abnormal drop in temperature below, he quickly pulled Gu Sewei toward a nearby cliff face.

Without a word, Gu Sewei instantly began Casting. The Ice Crystals on the cliff face extended, forming an enclosed shelter of ice.

The two flew inside, and the entrance to the icy shelter sealed completely behind them.

The moment it sealed, a frigid wind began to shriek outside, its howls like the wails of tormented ghosts.

It was as if the lingering souls of creatures who had died in the gales had never scattered, still enduring the wind’s ceaseless torment day after day.

The mere thought of it was enough to freeze one’s very soul.

Even without dwelling on it, Gu Sewei felt as if her soul were about to be frozen solid by the wind.

The damage from the frigid winds of the Extreme Cold Abyss was on the level of a fundamental Rule.

The two took refuge in the icy shelter until the shrieking wind finally subsided.

Just as Gu Sewei was about to open the shelter, Li Wei stopped her. "Wait a minute," he said. "I need to recover some Mana."

He took out a Magic Stone and began absorbing its energy to restore his Mana.

’The Magic Energy in the Fire Spirit Pearl Necklace needs to be saved for a critical moment.’

’When it’s not an emergency, it’s better to use Magic Stones to recover Mana. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit slow.’

Gu Sewei nodded and also began to meditate, drawing on the surrounding Ice Element to restore her Mana.

Once their Mana was fully restored, they continued their descent.

After flying for a while, Gu Sewei asked, "How deep are we?"

"Probably over ten thousand meters by now," Li Wei said.

Gu Sewei gazed down. "But I still can’t see the bottom of the Abyss."

Li Wei searched his past memories for information about the planet’s mantle.

He said, "We’ve still got a long way to go. The earth is far deeper than we imagine; its depths are even more staggering than the heights of the sky."

’Ten thousand meters... for an entire planet, that’s not even past the crust.’

’Though I don’t know exactly how deep the Extreme Cold Abyss goes, I’m prepared to just keep flying down.’

According to the Ice Queen, even after reaching the bottom of the Extreme Cold Abyss, you still have to travel nonstop for two days and two nights to reach the Time Secret Realm.

’I wouldn’t be surprised if the Extreme Cold Abyss is thousands of kilometers deep.’

’Of course, if the place the Ice Queen mentioned involves a long horizontal journey, then the vertical depth might be much less.’

Ten thousand meters underground, the surroundings were completely pitch-black, devoid of any light.

Not even the auroras from the sky above could penetrate this deep.

It was so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Li Wei and Gu Sewei could only rely on their Spiritual Perception to pinpoint each other’s location.

After flying for a bit longer, Gu Sewei asked curiously, "Why is your Spiritual Perception range so large?"

"My Level is clearly higher than yours, yet my Spiritual Perception range is so much smaller. How are you able to do that?"

"And I’d say my Spiritual Power is already quite strong among Tier Five Mages."

Li Wei, his focus on sensing the frigid currents, answered casually, "Talent, I guess."

Gu Sewei felt a bit stung by his words.

Never before had anyone been able to boast about their talent in front of her.

Ever since the Ice Queen rescued her from a blizzard at the age of eight and brought her to the Ice and Snow City, Gu Sewei had displayed an unparalleled talent for Ice Element Magic.

That was how she became the Saintess of the Ice and Snow City at such a young age.

Although the Ice Queen possessed a long lifespan and had no need for an heir to her throne, the Ice and Snow City still needed a Saintess.

After all, the Queen couldn’t possibly handle every matter personally.

The Saintess acted as her proxy, handling matters that were inconvenient for the Queen to attend to herself.

It had to be someone she trusted implicitly.

Having been raised by the Ice Queen from childhood, Gu Sewei had earned her complete trust, which was why she could become the Saintess.

As Gu Sewei recalled her past, she became lost in thought for a moment.

Suddenly, Li Wei’s shout rang in her ears, "Watch out!"

Gu Sewei was confused. "Watch out for what?"

An instant later, an incredibly fast object appeared within the range of her Spiritual Perception.

She had no time to react the moment it appeared.

A loud BANG echoed from her side as an ice-blue Ice Magic Shield manifested around her.

CRACK!

Under the impact of the mysterious object, visible cracks spiderwebbed across the Tier Five Ice Magic Shield.

This meant the force of the blow had reached the Tier Five level.

Li Wei’s expression was grim as he scanned the darkness. Though he couldn’t see anything, he knew there were more of them around.

"Careful, there’s more than one."

Still shaken, her heart pounding, Gu Sewei asked, "What was that?"

The mysterious object had glanced off Gu Sewei’s Ice Shield and vanished back into the darkness.

It had been too fast; Gu Sewei had no time to intercept it, nor could she get a clear look at what the attacker was.

Li Wei’s Spiritual Perception had a greater range, allowing him to barely make out the shape of the mysterious object.

But since he couldn’t see it, he had no idea what it actually was.

"It felt like some kind of block of ice," Li Wei said.

Gu Sewei glanced around, then looked up. "Could it be ice shards, carried by the frigid currents?"

Li Wei shook his head. "I don’t think so. I had the feeling it was alive."

"Alive?" Gu Sewei looked shocked.

Li Wei’s gaze sharpened. "Here they come again!" he shouted. "From the right this time!"

He reached out and pulled Gu Sewei out of the mysterious object’s path.

If it had been an inanimate object, his pull would have been enough for Gu Sewei to dodge it.

However, within Li Wei’s perception, the speeding, ice-block-shaped object carved an arc through the air, changing direction to shoot toward Gu Sewei again.

Just as Li Wei was about to intervene and block it for her...

...a swarm of mysterious objects shot into his Spiritual Perception range from all directions, targeting him.

’This is bad!’ Li Wei cursed to himself.

’I’ve seen how powerful these attackers are. If I get hit by this many, I could lose my ability to fly and Fall into the Abyss.’

Gu Sewei also realized the gravity of the situation.

She quickly shouted, "Let me handle this!"

"Extreme Cold! Frozen Coffin!"

The Frost Staff in Gu Sewei’s hand radiated an ice-blue light.

The Tier Six Magic, a spell that would normally take a significant amount of time to prepare, was unleashed by Gu Sewei in an instant.

A Frozen Coffin enveloped them, sealing them securely within its incredibly sturdy walls.

The Tier Six Frozen Coffin was countless times more durable than the Tier Four Frozen Crystal Coffin.

The mysterious objects slammed against the Frozen Coffin, sending it reeling and tumbling through the air.

In the instant the mysterious objects collided with the Frozen Coffin, Li Wei and Gu Sewei finally saw what they were.

Gu Sewei cried out in alarm, "Ice Souls!"
