The entrance to the forbidden area is a frigid land where mortals are reduced to ashes in seconds, and members with low spiritual power are turned into ice crystals in minutes.
To traverse the frigid lands, one needs a highly skilled spiritualist who can concentrate fully and move at top speed. If it takes more than half an hour, one will be reduced to ashes and become part of the ice.
"Huh? There's a strange light ahead." Wan'er thought to herself, opened her right palm, and pushed it forward. A surge of red light appeared, and a hanging notice appeared before her. The notice read—
Beyond the frigid lands lies a lake called "Lake of Caution," capable of purifying all rebellious members of the spirit race. Since ancient times, no one has been able to escape without the blood and flesh of a closest relative as a conduit...
Blood ties are the bond! What does it matter if it's to save my parents!
As the few lines of small characters faded away, Wan'er was immediately startled. "Warning Lake, so you really are here!" Wan'er felt a surge of confidence and her spirits lifted; she was about to quicken her pace...
But as soon as he lifted his foot and moved only a few steps, he felt his leg become unresponsive, as if it were weighed down by a thousand pounds. He began to exert force on his legs, and his head movements became sluggish. When he looked back, he saw that he and Mo Tian had reached the middle...
"Mo Tian," Wan'er looked up slightly and noticed that Mo Tian had blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were half-closed, and his pale lips were trembling. Wan'er understood that while she was resting just now, Mo Tian not only had to move forward but also protect her, which was why his spiritual energy was severely depleted.
Now that I've rested enough, it's my turn to take responsibility. With that thought, Wan'er quickly focused her mind and channeled her spiritual energy into her legs...
Sure enough, as her spiritual energy circulated, the protective jade was awakened and began to faintly glow. Wan'er felt a surge of warmth in her body and mind. She swung her arm to her side, took Mo Tian's hand, and, her palm burning, transferred a warmth to him. "Come on, I've rested enough. Now it's my turn to take you away."
Wan'er was enveloped in a shimmering red light, surrounded by fluttering flower petals. The petals multiplied, beginning to entwine around Mo Tian, whose complexion quickly regained its color, and the blood at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
"Wan'er, hurry! I've been using it for almost twenty minutes," Mo Tian said clearly, his mouth brimming with spiritual energy. "Time is running out. In a few more minutes, once both ends are sealed off, it will be impossible to get out."
"Alright, let's stop dawdling and get going," Wan'er gritted her teeth, reached out, and grabbed Mo Tian's arm.
"No, you should go first. If you take me with you, you'll have to use your spiritual power to take care of me. I'm afraid that neither of us will be able to get out of here," Mo Tian reached out and pushed Wan'er.
"You know perfectly well that I won't let you go, so why bother talking nonsense?" At this moment, Wan'er's spiritual power was stronger than Mo Tian's, so she naturally couldn't move her.
"Your parents are waiting for you, and I will try my best to catch up."
"Don't lie to me, you don't have the ability yet..." Wan'er's eyes sharpened, and she suddenly turned around and patted Zhong Motian's forehead. A flower petal covered Motian's brow.
"You! There's still a lot to come..." Unexpectedly, Wan'er also used the same trick she used against her. Mo Tian's eyelids grew heavy, and she quickly closed her eyes.
Mo Tian, you are my spirit pet, my pet for all eternity. As long as I am here, you will be here too. Wan'er's lips curled into a smile, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face. While protecting Mo Tian, she channeled her spiritual power, leaning forward and gritting her teeth. "Crunch, crunch!" With each step forward, the sound grew louder, and the petals on her body diminished with each movement...
