Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Have you ever heard of the Sky Abyss of the Eastern Domain?

Lu Chen was currently anxious about this, but even with his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique reaching the fourth level, he still couldn’t see beyond the ice house.

It was simply impossible for him to know that Chu Zhongtian and his companion had already approached the ice house.

"How could there possibly be an ice house like this after traveling through the solely Cliffside Plain?"

Chu Zhongtian asked, squinting his eyes against the snowstorm.

When they entered the icy terrain, they too were taken aback; had it not been for Li Mo’s help with the Imperial Command of the flame, they would have found it difficult to move even an inch.

They had come from another valley and were heading in the direction they had previously taken, intending to find Lu Chen—Chu Zhongtian was determined to retrieve his Shadowless Sword before anything else!

To their surprise, they came across such an ice house, which could serve as a temporary shelter from the snowstorm, where they could catch their breath before continuing on their journey.

"It looks like it formed naturally. If it were man-made, how could it appear so seamlessly part of nature?"

Li Mo, holding the flame, examined the ice house closely and noticed that there wasn’t a single seam from construction to be found.

They couldn’t even begin to imagine that Lu Chen had harnessed Ice Spiritual Power to construct such an ice house with a marvelous method.

However, the two men were still somewhat uneasy, so they circled the ice house together, finding no entrance, thus confirming their suspicions.

"I wonder if there’s a space inside," Chu Zhongtian stepped forward, bending two fingers slightly and putting his ear closer after that, he knocked on the ice house with the knuckles of his fingers.

Hearing the echo come from inside, his face lit up with joy, "It’s hollow, really hollow. Li, my friend, shall we make a hole and rest inside for a bit?"

The cold wind and ice power in the icy ground greatly depleted their own Spiritual Power.

Even with the assistance of the flame, Li Mo also needed to use his own Spiritual Power to wield it.

Thus far, they had not found a suitable place to rest, and were barely sustaining themselves, having consumed several pills to replenish their Spiritual Power.

Now that they had found a place to hide, how could they let it pass by?

No one knew what dangers might lie ahead!

Such an icy terrain could rightly be described as a land of absolute death.

And ’absolute’ always signifies danger!

"Do you have any suitable Magic Artifact for digging?"

Li Mo raised the flame in his hand, saying, "If I use fire to melt this ice house, it’ll consume even more energy, and we’ll have nothing left to continue. So, we can only dig a hole now."

"I do have some inexpensive Magic Artifacts."

Chu Zhongtian knew Li Mo wanted to save some strength, and although he was not pleased, there was no alternative.

Li Mo’s fire was equally important for his own safety, so without hesitation, Chu Zhongtian took out a pickaxe from his storage bag.

"This is not bad."

Li Mo’s eyes brightened, and as if suddenly remembering something, he said, "Your Xuanyun Sect is said to possess two Spirit Veins! Chu, my friend, have you ever worked as a miner, digging for Spirit Stones?"

Spirit Stones are commonplace in the Cultivation World, but they don’t just appear out of thin air; they are found within Spirit Veins!

Ordinarily, first-rate sects have Spirit Veins, which are vital to a sect’s rise and fall, and their locations are secret.

Yet, it has long been rumored that the Xuanyun Sect has two Spirit Veins, a claim that has never been verified.

Spirit Veins are heavily guarded by at least Nascent Soul Stage cultivators within the sect, and common folks can’t get close to them.

Moreover, as highly restricted areas, intruders are often killed on the spot without question!

Li Mo’s decision to bring this up was quite inappropriate at this moment.

Chu Zhongtian could neither admit nor deny it, instead he deftly changed the subject, saying, "Alas, I was naive back then and disrupted the Sect Master’s plans. As a punishment, I was sent to mine for three months!"

"Oh? The Xuanyun Sect seems to have been very quiet in the Zhong Tian region these years; what significant event could have occurred?"

Li Mo asked as if innocently.

Chu Zhongtian intended to steer the conversation towards the topic of the two Spirit Veins; of course, he knew Li Mo wanted to inquire about the secrets of the sect.

Thankfully, the supposed ’big event’ had not occurred within the Xuanyun Sect, and he had nothing to hide, so he responded directly, "Li, my friend, have you ever heard of the Tianyuan in the Eastern Domain?"
