After several hours of silence, Zu An was about to burst, so he quickly started chatting with her again.
Yan Xuehen was also feeling unwell. Not speaking before had made her body more sensitive, and she couldn't help but overthink things. It would be good to chat with her to distract herself.
At first, she asked Zuan about the dream world out of curiosity, but later Zuan started asking her all sorts of questions about her, especially about her childhood.
At first, Yan Xuehen was a little confused. Her childhood memories were too distant, and she barely remembered them. However, with Zu An's guidance, she gradually began to recall them.
She felt that back then, all she did was eat, sleep, and practice martial arts; it was far less exciting than the world Zuan had described.
Zuan always manages to find something interesting in her childhood stories.
As they walked and chatted, they became familiar with each other's pasts and subconsciously felt closer to each other.
By this time, the outline of the snow-capped mountains on the horizon could be faintly seen. Yan Xuehen suddenly became serious: "Whatever you do, do not pass through the front of the snow-capped mountains. Find a way to go around them from the side."
"Why?" The reason Zuan chose this direction was because it was the shortest straight-line distance. If they didn't go through the Great Snow Mountain and instead went through the desolate city they had initially planned to visit, they definitely wouldn't be able to reach Yunzhong County by tomorrow morning.
“Because the Great Snow Mountain has been a forbidden land for life since ancient times,” Yan Xuehen sighed. “Throughout history, countless experts have entered the Great Snow Mountain and never come out alive. But the more this happens, the more mysterious it becomes. Many people speculate that there are great treasures inside, while others speculate that there is the secret to immortality. There are many different opinions. So every generation has some exceptionally talented people who rely on their profound cultivation, thinking that they will be different from others, and they enter the Great Snow Mountain one after another.”
"And then no one came out alive?" Zuan recalled hearing many legends about the Great Snow Mountain when he was in Yunzhong County.
"Not exactly. As far as we know, one person did manage to get out alive," Yan Xuehen replied.
"who?"
"Emperor Zhao Hao."
Zuan: "..."
Yan Xuehen seemed to be recalling: "Back then, Zhao Hao was invincible in the world. He sent people everywhere to search for clues to immortality. Of course, he did not overlook forbidden places like the Great Snow Mountain. Others dared not enter, but he had no such concerns. He went in and came out safely. At that time, it shocked the world. Many people thought that the Great Snow Mountain was no longer so dangerous, and another group of strong people followed suit and went there, but still none of them came out."
"It seems Zhao Hao is indeed exceptionally powerful, able to freely enter and exit even such forbidden areas." Zu An felt somewhat heavy-hearted; the two were bound to fall out sooner or later, what would he do then?
Yan Xuehen shook his head: "Everyone thinks he is very relaxed, but according to Bai Yujing's intelligence, he seemed to be injured when he came out, and quite seriously. After returning to the capital, he recuperated for many years. There are even rumors that his time of decline has come so early, in addition to the Dao injury he suffered in the battle with the Demon Emperor in his early years, it was also because he damaged his foundation again when he went to the Great Snow Mountain."
"What?" Zuan was completely shocked.
Even an invincible Earth Immortal suffered such severe injuries after a trip to the Great Snow Mountain. In addition, so many masters throughout history have perished there. No matter how arrogant he was, he did not think he would be an exception.
"Is it really fate?" He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. It seemed that it would be difficult to return to Yunzhong County by tomorrow.
