Saint Xi awakened, becoming a Legendary Holy Dragon.
After emerging from the Time Secret Realm, Li Wei and Gu Sewei conferred for a moment before deciding to head in the direction the group from long ago had taken.
For Li Wei and Gu Sewei, that had been eight years ago.
Li Wei could barely remember the details clearly.
However, when he deliberately tried to recall, the powerful Spiritual Power possessed by a Mage allowed him to quickly recollect the past.
He didn’t know just how powerful his Spiritual Power had become.
He wondered if it could rival that of a Legendary Mage.
It was much stronger than Gu Sewei’s.
Gu Sewei was currently at Tier Six Peak and only needed the right opportunity to step onto the Path of Legend and become a Legendary Mage.
When she fully extended her Spiritual Perception, its range was merely eight hundred meters.
Li Wei’s Spiritual Perception, however, could easily exceed a thousand meters. By his estimation, its range had probably reached about eighteen hundred meters.
In combat, Li Wei’s advantage was far greater than Gu Sewei’s.
Gu Sewei might be defeated by his attack before she could even see him.
Li Wei’s Spiritual Perception continued to spread into the darkness ahead.
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!
The sound of Saint Xi gnawing on ice and rocks echoed from above.
Occasionally, some ice shards and crushed stones would fall.
What was mere debris to Saint Xi were large chunks to Li Wei and Gu Sewei.
Getting hit by one would be no small matter.
Li Wei thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Saint Xi, let us sit on your back. You can fly us there."
"It’ll be faster this way."
Saint Xi had no objections; she was also eager to leave this cold, dark, godforsaken place.
Seeing Saint Xi agree, Li Wei smiled as he and Gu Sewei flew onto her back.
As they landed on Saint Xi’s back, Gu Sewei’s face filled with amazement.
She realized she couldn’t feel the extreme cold of the Extreme Cold Abyss at all.
"It’s so warm here," Gu Sewei said, looking at Li Wei.
Li Wei smiled, crouched down to pat Saint Xi’s back, and said, "Alright, full speed ahead!"
Li Wei was in charge of navigation, communicating with Saint Xi mentally.
Saint Xi sped through the dark, lightless bottom of the Extreme Cold Abyss.
After flying for a long time, Li Wei’s Spiritual Perception detected that the surroundings were narrowing. It seemed they were about to reach the end of the Extreme Cold Abyss.
Along the way, Li Wei saw no sign of the group.
Either too much time had passed and they had already awakened the Ice Emperor and left, or they were still ahead, and Li Wei just hadn’t caught up yet.
He reminded Saint Xi, "Be careful. The path ahead is getting narrow. Don’t crash into the walls."
Saint Xi let out a draconic roar, indicating she understood.
Her speed didn’t decrease.
Gu Sewei stood beside Li Wei, looking down at the Holy Giant Dragon beneath her feet before turning to gaze at Li Wei’s profile with a gentle expression.
Even after spending eight years together in the Time Secret Realm, she still felt that Li Wei was shrouded in mystery.
She had never imagined she would one day ride a Giant Dragon.
This was her first time having such a novel experience.
After entering the gradually narrowing glacial fissure, the surrounding environment seemed to change.
Li Wei felt the surrounding darkness lessen slightly.
After flying a bit further in, this feeling became more pronounced.
Soon, an icy blue light appeared ahead.
Saint Xi charged straight into it, entering a glacial world constructed entirely of ice-blue crystal.
It was no longer completely dark here; light from an unknown source illuminated the entire glacial world.
Li Wei looked around and could see countless reflections of Saint Xi in the glacial world.
In an instant, it was as if there were thousands of Saint Xis.
Li Wei knew they were just reflections, like a person in a mirror.
Gu Sewei suddenly gripped Li Wei’s hand tightly, saying nervously, "The Ice Emperor is just ahead."
Her other hand clutched the Frost Staff.
According to legend, the Frost Staff was a Legendary Staff forged from materials shed by the Ice Emperor.
Therefore, one who held the Frost Staff could sense the Ice Emperor’s location.
It was useless if the distance was too great.
Li Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly. A faint smile appeared on his face as he gently squeezed Gu Sewei’s soft hand.
"It’s alright. I’ll protect you."
Hearing his words, Gu Sewei’s tense mind gradually relaxed, as if under the influence of some unknown power.
She trusted Li Wei.
During their time together in the dreamscape, Gu Sewei had gotten some sense of Li Wei’s strength.
She knew his power was far greater than she had ever imagined.
She had heard that he once killed a powerful creature on the verge of becoming a Legend.
Back then, Li Wei had only been Tier Four.
Now, Li Wei’s power had advanced even further, becoming even more unfathomable.
Gu Sewei had complete confidence in Li Wei.
But she still felt a thread of unease.
She had grown up in the Extreme North Icefield and had heard countless stories about the Ice Emperor, the sovereign of the Icefield.
She knew the Ice Emperor’s power was immense and feared that Li Wei might be in danger.
She glanced at the Holy Giant Dragon beneath her feet, and her worries lessened slightly.
’At least, with the help of a Legendary Giant Dragon, we might stand a chance against the Ice Emperor.’
Li Wei comforted Gu Sewei, saying, "Don’t worry. The fact that you can sense the Ice Emperor ahead is a good thing. It means they haven’t woken it up yet."
Gu Sewei nodded and replied softly, "Mm."
She thought what Li Wei said made sense.
From this perspective, even though they had spent eight years in the Time Secret Realm, only a few days must have passed in the outside world.
Gu Sewei couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.
She gazed into the depths of the glacial world ahead, praying, ’I hope we make it in time.’
WHOOSH!
As if sensing the urgency in Li Wei’s heart, Saint Xi’s flight speed increased. With a beat of her draconic wings, she accelerated.
Li Wei didn’t ask Saint Xi to slow down. He grabbed a fin on her back and held Gu Sewei tightly with his other arm to keep her from being thrown off during sharp turns.
As Saint Xi sped up in pursuit, a light soon appeared at the end of the narrow glacial crevice.
Saint Xi burst out of the narrow glacial crevice and into an immense, empty ice cavern.
The cavern was over ten kilometers in diameter.
It seemed the glacial crevice was the only way in or out; all other directions were sealed.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Frigid air currents howled past, blocked by the Holy Power radiating from Saint Xi’s body.
Li Wei looked ahead.
’The frigid currents are coming from ahead. Could this be their source?’
Gu Sewei, gripping the vibrating Frost Staff, looked into the depths of the cavern and said calmly, "It’s just ahead."
"Saint Xi."
Li Wei called out.
Saint Xi accelerated forward.
Before long, Li Wei and Gu Sewei saw it—the legendary Ice Emperor, the mighty being that had ruled the Extreme North Icefield for hundreds of thousands of years.
The moment they saw the Ice Emperor, both Li Wei and Gu Sewei were so stunned they could only stand frozen on Saint Xi’s back.
Even Saint Xi let out a draconic roar of astonishment.
On the ground, the few people preparing to awaken the Ice Emperor heard the roar and subconsciously looked up.
The moment they saw Saint Xi, their faces filled with utter, incredulous shock.
For them, the sight was no less astonishing than seeing the Ice Emperor for the first time.
