Unknow Sounds

Outside the outer area, the cold was already present, but as soon as she stepped into the outer area, the cold simply tripled.

She quickly used her Qi to protect herself, and after a few moments, her body acclimated to the climate.

She then began to walk in the outer area, and soon all the disciples followed and entered, one by one.

Some formed groups, but most had their own objectives and went their separate ways.

************************

Meanwhile, something strange was happening in the central area of the frozen abyss.

But no one knew yet, after all, there were no living beings in that place.

In this place, there was a gigantic ice mountain that seemed to be divided in two, as if something had cut through it.

The mountain was made of pure ice, and it was the only thing that existed for so long without any human interference.

After all, this was the center of this entire ice world.

Formerly, silence dominated this place; there was no life or anything in motion.

Just the occasional sound of the icy wind.

It's unknown for how long, but occasionally a sound echoed from that place, from inside the split mountain—something unknown.

This sound started slow and low, almost imperceptible.

The sound echoed once, and only after several years did it echo again.

This sound continued echoing from the depths of the mountain, where no one could hear it.

It increased and became more frequent as the years passed.

On the mountain, where no one could see it, there was only one being.

With so much ice, it was impossible to see, but it was there. If you paid attention for a long time, you would notice that the sound came from this being.

And until today.

The sound was still there; every few hours, that sound echoed, loud enough for the entire central area to hear.

But there was no one in this place to listen.

The sound was getting louder and more frequent.

'Thump'

'Thump'

The sound began to echo from the central area little by little...

***********************

Two days had passed since Li Yuemei entered the outer area of the frozen abyss.

She had encountered a few beasts, but all of them were strong—much stronger than monstrous beasts outside this place, even if they were from the same realm.

There was no comparison; the overall strength of this place was terrifying.

But for her, it was just that; her power was far above these small beasts, and she was doing better than everyone else.

'This place is dangerous, but it's amazing; the amount of Qi concentrated in this place is absurd, so I imagine what it must be like if I go deeper.'

'I can at least try; I'm almost breaking through my realm; I need more energy.'

'If I get close to the inner area, I'll definitely make it.'

"All right, I've decided." After deciding to go deeper into the frozen abyss, she got up and moved forward into the abyss.

On the edge of the inner area of the ice abyss, two middle-aged men stood high in the sky.

The cold didn't affect them at all, and they were completely fine even without using their Qi to protect themselves.

"Old Xu, why did they send two of us to this place this time?"

"The disciples have teleportation talismans; if some of them die in the test, they just weren't fit." One of the men said impatiently that he was in this place without knowing the reason.

"Hehe, my friend Zhang, one of the greatest geniuses of the sacred land, is taking the test this time."

"We were sent to protect her, not from people or beasts; the outer area is just a park for her."

"We're here to prevent her from trying to enter the inner area; her father told me that she would probably try to come here."

"She's not afraid of anything, I think it comes from her special physique." The other man said it with a gentle smile on his face.

The smile on his face soon disappeared as he spoke with a serious face.

"Besides, we're here to send all the disciples out of the abyss if it starts to snow; the snow is becoming more frequent in the frozen abyss. I feel that something is not right in this place."

**************************

In the central area, the sound continued echoing from inside the mountain; now half of the inner area could hear the sound.

All the beasts and beings that inhabited this place felt unprecedented danger; some ran away, while others hid deep in the ice.

The sound was spreading continuously and getting faster.

'Thump, thump'

'Thump, thump'

The beasts didn't know what this sound was, but they felt fear and ran for their lives.

**************************

"Old Xu, are you hearing this?" Elder Zhang suddenly spoke while looking seriously at the inner area.

"What?"

Elder Xu paid attention to the inner area, trying to hear something.

'Thump, thump'

'Thump, thump'

He suddenly heard a sound that seemed to resonate with his heart and seemed to be inside his mind.

"What... the hell is this?" Elder Xu spoke with a hint of terror in his tone.
