The two were evenly matched, and almost at the same moment Ye Li rushed into the vortex gate, Xia Mu also rushed in.

"Buzz~"

The vortex gate trembled.

A flash of white light appeared before Ye Li's eyes.

It was as if the whole world had turned into nothingness.

At this moment, Ye Li's brain seemed to be frozen, completely ceasing to function.

Thoughts, breath, heartbeat—everything froze at that moment.

That feeling was suffocating, it was despairing.

However, Ye Li could feel that his body was still there, and his soul was still there.

But he just couldn't move or make any sound.

It was as if his body and soul had merged with this void world, becoming a part of it.

Ah~

Ye Li wanted to roar, to break free from the shackles of this void, and regain control of his body.

Finally, the roar burst from his throat, echoing in this void.

Ye Li suddenly felt that his body and mind were back under his control.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene before him had undergone a complete transformation.

Although it was still a world of ice and snow.

However, another mountain appeared before them.

This mountain is not high.

It's more like a small hill.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a palace built entirely of ice and snow.

Crystal clear, like a palace in the sky.

"Brother Ye, why did you let out such a piercing wail just now?"

Xia Mu's voice rang out from the side.

This startled Ye Li.

I turned my head to look.

Xia Mu was staring at him expectantly.

He looked completely bewildered.

Clear your throat, cough cough!

Ye Li coughed lightly twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Xia Mu stared at Ye Li for a while, but didn't dwell on the issue for too long.

Then, he pointed to the palace halfway up the mountain and asked, "Shall we go up and take a look?"

Ye Li nodded and replied, "Let's go in and take a look!"

The world inside is an ice and snow world, mostly ice with only a thin layer of snow that doesn't affect walking.

The two quickly found the path up the mountain.

The entire path is made up of steps, winding its way up to the top of the mountain.

Xia Mu had to park his RV at the foot of the mountain and hike up the mountain with Ye Li.

Ye Li and Xia Mu stepped onto the stairs.

"Thump!"

A bell rang out from inside that palace.

Ye Li's body trembled violently, and an indescribable feeling surged into his heart.

It wasn't fear, but a deep reverence, a biological instinct stemming from the depths of one's heart.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure descended from above.

Ye Li and Xia Mu's bodies trembled violently again, and they almost fell directly onto the steps.

Xia Mu, who was standing next to him, completely lost his balance. In his haste, he grabbed Ye Li's arm and almost pulled Ye Li down as well.

"Tsk, you son of a bitch..."

Ye Li glared at Xia Mu, her face full of displeasure.

Xia Mu seemed to realize that his actions just now were somewhat inappropriate. He quickly let go of her hand, waved his hand awkwardly, and explained, "Sorry, sorry, it was an accident, an accident, it really was an accident."

Ye Li reminded him irritably, "Be careful!"

She moved her body slightly to the side, wanting to get away from Xia Mu and avoid being implicated by him again.

However, the stairs were not long to begin with, and even though Ye Li had moved to the edge, he was still very close to Xia Mu, and could reach out and grab her.

After getting used to the oppressive feeling of the first step, Ye Li adjusted his breathing slightly.

Without hesitation, he took another step forward and steadily stepped onto the second step.

"Thump!"

Another melodious chime rang out, as if cheering him on for this step.

Ye Li looked up at the sound and gazed at the magnificent palace.
