The closer Abigail got to the giant tree, the more she realized just how abnormal it truly was. Her earlier deductions of the tree seems as if it was wrong because she was understanding the tree as she got closer The entire Frozen Death Region looked lifeless.Everywhere else they had passed through carried only endless snow, dead silence, and terrifying cold that seemed capable of freezing life itself. There were no beasts nearby, no ordinary plants, not even traces of living creatures around this part of the region.Yet this tree thrived, it did not barely survived but thrived.Its gigantic roots spread deep beneath the frozen earth while pale silver bark shimmered faintly under the drifting snowstorms. Countless icy-blue leaves swayed softly from the branches, and every movement released traces of rich spiritual energy into the air.The tree looked ancient.Like it was ancient beyond imagination.As though it had stood here silently for thousands of years while countless cultivato

After leaving the Cold Frost Tree behind, Abigail and Oris slowly made their way back through the Frozen Death Region.The cold winds remained terrifying, but compared to earlier, Abigail’s mind was no longer focused entirely on the environment around her. Instead, she kept thinking about the strange feeling she experienced near the tree.Sword Intent.The thought lingered heavily in her heart now.Even while walking through the endless white plains, she could still vaguely feel traces of something within the cold around her. It wasn’t merely freezing energy anymore. It felt calm, silent and ruthless in a quiet way.A type of suppression that didn’t roar or threaten loudly but it simply erased.The more she thought about it, the more suitable it felt.Cold and ruthless.Cold and decisive.Or perhaps something even deeper.Abigail unconsciously touched the hilt of her sword again while snow drifted softly around them.Meanwhile, Oris was still visibly excited from the fruit harvest ear

In no time, Kai and Abigail returned to the Cold Frost Tree once again.The giant silver-white tree stood silently within the endless frozen region like an ancient guardian that had existed long before the world itself changed. Snow drifted endlessly around it while icy mist curled naturally through its branches. The Cold Frost Fruits hanging from the tree glowed faintly beneath the pale skies, and compared to earlier, even more fruits had fallen onto the snowy ground beneath the tree.The moment Kai saw them, his eyes sparkled immediately, like literal sparkle It was the exact same expression Abigail always saw whenever valuable resources appeared before him. It didn’t matter whether it was spirit stones, treasures, pills, strange herbs, or suspicious fruits growing in dangerous places.Kai’s greed remained equal toward all and she doesn't even see that changing any time soon. Such an annoying man, well, an annoying man who'd taken over her life and she'd allowed it and has no regr

After relocating the giant nest properly onto the thunder bird’s back, the bird immediately spread its massive wings once more and flew deeper into the Frozen Death Region.This time, they traveled much farther than before.The further they went, the more terrifying the environment became. Even with the protective gear protecting them from most of the cold, Kai and Abigail could still feel traces of freezing intent seeping into their bodies constantly.The snowstorms ahead looked almost alive now.Entire walls of icy wind swept endlessly across the frozen lands while gigantic glaciers towered across the horizon like ancient sleeping monsters. Some of the ice mountains even released faint cracking sounds every now and then, echoing eerily through the endless white world.Kai silently observed everything around them carefully.Honestly, this place was terrifying.Even Spirit Severing cultivators would probably freeze to death if they wandered carelessly into these deeper regions and str

A month passed within the Frozen Death Region almost like a blur.For ordinary cultivators, spending an entire month inside a place like this would sound like torture. The endless cold alone was enough to drive weaker people insane, and the freezing intent hidden within the region constantly attacked both body and mind without pause.Yet for Kai and Abigail, the month became one of the fastest periods of growth they had experienced in a long time.The frozen lands themselves had almost become familiar now.The endless snowstorms no longer looked hostile in their eyes, and the terrifying cold that once nearly killed them repeatedly had slowly become part of their cultivation process.At this moment, Abigail stood before a massive ice dome deep within the region.Or rather what used to be an ice dome.Now, countless sword marks covered the entire structure.Some slashes were shallow, some were incredibly deep and some looked terrifying.Because even after days, traces of freezing sword
