Northsea Continent.
At the depths of the Northern Ice Abyss.
In the frigid silence of death, the piercing howls of cold currents echoed endlessly.
The cold currents gushed forth from the massive, pitch-black, and menacing turtle head, whose jagged spikes rose like a forest of mountains.
And there, standing silently atop the turtle's head, was Xuan Yuanzi, looking like a young man, smiling as he watched Wang Ba's arrival.
"Greetings, Senior Xuan Yuanzi."
Wang Ba bowed respectfully.
The Ice Daoist stepped out of Wang Ba's body and gave Xuan Yuanzi a slight bow.
"No need for formalities."
Xuan Yuanzi, as if already knowing Wang Ba's purpose for coming, raised his hand lightly, stopping Wang Ba mid-motion through the air, and then chuckled:
"The Chaos Origin Substance and the World Eater from the Outer Realm are indeed rare opportunities for the life inside the realm. However, seizing this opportunity depends on one's own abilities."
