章 27: Rumors
"Ancestors, during the disciples' test in the frozen abyss, a change occurred in the central area of the abyss."
…
"When we reached the core of the central abyss, there was nothing. The ice had disappeared, the ground was completely empty and desolate for miles, as if an immense mountain had vanished, leaving only traces of its existence."
"And in the middle of this desolate place, there was an ice cocoon, exhibiting strange colors and emitting a strange and unknown frigid aura. When we arrived, it was constantly cracking."
"Then, a human emerged from the cocoon, a young-looking individual around eighteen years old. We couldn't sense any life energy from his body, nor any kind of Qi, but his body constantly emanated an extremely cold aura that gave a sense of immense danger to everyone."
"Even without Qi, he could fly, and his speed was perhaps faster than mine. The frigid Qi around his body acted as if under his control, something that happens only with transcendent beings who comprehend the Law."
"That's why when he appeared in front of Li Yuemei, I didn't attack him, nor did I let the elders attack. I don't think with just one Saint we could defeat that being."
…
….
The leader of the sacred land recounted everything that happened as he bowed to the cabins.
"I hope the ancestors guide me on what to do."
Then silence filled the area for a few minutes.
Old Li and the other ancestors in the cabins were surprised by what Wei Ming was saying, and soon began to telepathically discuss.
'There was a living being in the frozen abyss? How?' An ancient female voice sounded in the minds of the ancestors.
'Oh, I see you've awakened. It seems only the three of us are still alive.' A somewhat sad sigh was heard from the other ancestor.
'Yes, everyone beyond the first ancestor failed to ascend to the transcendental realm. I have little time left compared to you. I will handle this current matter, maybe I will have an insight and manage to save myself from this situation,' the female voice said, but her tone seemed devoid of hope.
Old Li, who was quiet, suddenly spoke.
'There was a being in the frozen abyss. It's impossible for him to be in the transcendent realm, indeed. If he were, he couldn't use his complementary law in this place, and he would also be rejected by the planet, which didn't happen.'
'So his strength remains in the realm of Saints, but if he has comprehended a law, it's impossible for just one Saint to face him. However, I don't think he could fight with several, especially with a peak Saint.'
…
...
…
After moments of silence, Wei Ming still waited for what the ancestors would decide.
Then, after a few minutes, he heard a voice.
"We understand the situation and have already decided what to do. You are in charge of gathering the great elders of the sacred land in the sacred hall; I will help you save Li Yuemei."
Wei Ming heard a female voice and was surprised; he was unaware of this ancestor.
"Yes, Ancestor," he said respectfully, and he quickly left the place.
******************
Meanwhile, on the rest of the planet, a discussion was happening frequently in numerous cities, realms, sects, and families from all continents.
After that sudden snowfall, everyone realized that it didn't just happen in their region.
Wherever they went, in all places, even in extremely hot locations, it snowed those days. The powerful quickly noticed this, and the rest of the population was discovering it rapidly through rumors in the cities.
Something strange like that would obviously be a topic everywhere, and soon rumors were spreading. Some said a divine ice treasure had fallen from the sky, others claimed an ice beast ascended to the transcendent realm.
But the most accepted was that something happened in the frozen abyss, the only indescribable-level place on the planet, and soon many powerful individuals from everywhere were sent to investigate the situation on the southern continent.
But the one causing a stir everywhere at this moment still knew nothing...
*****************
In front of the Su restaurant, numerous guards guarded the entrance as a luxurious carriage arrived.
The carriage's door opened as a portly man exited, approaching the two women at the entrance and stating the reason for his visit.
"I came to see the King visiting my city; call him to the third floor. I'll rent the entire floor."
'King? A king is in the restaurant. Could it be him?' One of the women thought and then asked.
"Are you talking about the young man with armor-like ice attire and an extremely beautiful woman?"
"Yes, yes, who else would I be talking about? The boy is a King; if you treat him poorly, your restaurant won't stand in my city," the portly man said, irritated that these women didn't recognize the young man's power.
Even when threatened, the two women paid little attention to this man and simply responded calmly.
"You arrived too late; the two dined in the restaurant and left quickly. The girl even mentioned that someone important would come to pay later, so I assume it's you."
"Huh? Well, I don't mind paying. Tell me where they went," the portly man responded, even more annoyed.
"I have no idea; they didn't say. They just left the shop and disappeared. By the way, their bill amounted to fifteen hundred gold coins."
"WHAT?!"
******************
Meanwhile, in the sky far from the city, a young man flew rapidly while holding a girl in his arms.
The girl held some snacks she had ordered for the journey.
"Who is it that you said would pay? Do you know someone in that city?" The young man asked.
"Hmm? No, but the guards notified the city ruler as soon as we arrived, so I let him handle the payment for us," Li Yuemei said with an amused smile.
"I see, and the map you bought—how do we use it?" He asked as she put away the snacks, and a map appeared in her hand.
"We are here. The easiest way to reach the end of the continent is by going through here and then here until we reach the Fortress City by the sea. There's a teleportation portal to the central continent, but not everyone can enter."
"But with your strength, I don't think there should be a problem," Li Yuemei said.
"I didn't understand anything; are you going to guide me on the way." he replied calmly.
"Well, I already expected that," she said, releasing a light sigh.
