X-Dragon Era

The passageway was located directly below the hall, with a diameter of ten meters, and constructed perfectly straight, void of any bends. Charging along it, the surrounding light began to gradually dim.

Although the ice is transparent, if the ice walls are too thick and without any special treatment, they would still block the light. As they delved deeper, the surrounding light grew fainter and fainter.

Watching the silhouette of Silver flying ahead, Xin Yun couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. It was truly hard on her, a girl working alone in such pitch-black conditions, something unimaginable for the average person.

Moving forward, the brightness around them finally dropped to the lowest level. Looking ahead, Nightlight Stones began to appear one after the other on the walls of the cave. These stones, embedded in the walls, formed neat lines that lit up the cave with their glow!

These Nightlight Stones had been purchased by Xin Yun, who had sent them over with the help of the Tai Chi Diagram. However... back then, Xin Yun had no idea that the environment here was so harsh.

After passing through the short section decked with Nightlight Stones, finally... they could vaguely see brightness ahead. Through the ice walls, the Five-Colored Radiance could be seen reflecting inward.

As they drew nearer, the light ahead grew brighter until... the ice cave came to an end, and at the same time, a mountain wall of Five-Colored Radiance appeared in Xin Yun's field of vision.

Within this glacier, there actually lay a vast mountain range. The shape of the mountain was unusual, high around its edges and low in the middle, resembling a square pot. Xin Yun wondered if this could be one of the five legendary mountains of the Eastern Sea--Fanghu Immortal Mountain.

Legend has it... beyond the Eastern Sea, there exist five mythical mountains—Penglai, Daiyu, Yuanjiao, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. However, no records exist of anyone who actually found these five mountains.

Fanghu was entirely encased in Ice Seal. From the outside, it appeared as a glacier covering a vast mountain range beneath, filled with rich nature's spiritual energy. It was a first-class blessed land with a heavenly cave, where cultivating would yield progress twice as rewarding with half the effort!

For how many years the Immortal Mountain had existed, no one knew. It seemed to have been there since the heavens and earth were split apart. Under the thick ice, the spiritual energy within the island concentrated without dispersing. Over time, it condensed into Colored Crystals, creating a thick layer that covered the fairy-tale mountains, presenting a vista of riotous color.

These crystals could illuminate on their own, yet... since Silver had only recently accessed this area, there had been no opportunity to mine these Colored Crystals, and they had to rely on Nightlight Stones for illumination.

Breathing in the dense spiritual energy in the air around him, Xin Yun took a satisfying breath and felt incredibly comfortable. You see... although the exterior of this fairy mountain was covered by Profound Ice, with spiritual energy unable to leave or enter, beneath the mountain range, one end connected to the earth's veins and the other to the dragon veins beneath the Eastern Sea. Nature's spiritual energy flowed abundantly, and every moment... a large quantity of Colored Crystals would condense here.

Atop the Five-Colored mountain body, there was a massive cave entrance, with light swirling inside, leading into the heart of Immortal Mountain. This was the only channel to the interior. Taking a long breath, accompanied by Silver, Xin Yun entered the passage emitting the Five-Colored Radiance.

If one were to say that the mountain range was shaped like a pot, then the location of this passage was akin to the spout of the pot. Along the downward-sloping, Five-Colored passageway they continued, and after a while... a sudden burst of light appeared ahead, revealing a dream-like world before them.

Though the outside was covered by glaciers, nowhere within this Fanghu-shaped mountain's space could a piece of solid ice be found, and moreover, it was unbelievably warm. Looking around, it was hard to believe that this was a world encased in ice.

Fanghu Immortal Mountain, just like a square pot for boiling water, had an interior space incredibly vast. At a glance, it was boundless, its limits not discernible. It is worth noting... Fanghu Immortal Mountain didn't just signify a single peak, but a mountain range stretching thousands of miles. A world unto itself within the pot, with a diameter likely over a thousand miles, its inner area was several times larger than Taiwan Island!

Looking up at the sky, a gentle blue light permeated the heavens. It was sunlight filtering through the ice peaks, mingling with the Five-Colored Radiance from inside and outside, forming a magnificent celestial canvas. From the ground looking up, it bore little difference from the sky outside.

Looking down at the ground, the grass spread like a carpet, dotted with clusters of flowers here and there. Colorful butterflies flitted their wings amidst the flora.

Not far away, there was a lush forest, home to herbivorous creatures like deer, sheep, rabbits... all frolicking happily.

Looking farther afield, a silver cascade of water fell from the mountain wall, the thunderous sound of the waterfall audible from a great distance. The babbling streams were crystal clear, with small animals occasionally traveling to the creekside to drink and play.

It was hard to imagine that within a world covered by glaciers, it could not only be as warm as spring but also flourishing with greenery and blooming flowers. Various small animals appeared everywhere.

Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun trembled and said, "It's true, this is Fanghu Immortal Mountain, a world within a pot!"

"Hmm..." Gazing at the incredibly beautiful world with shining eyes, Silver said resolutely, "This will be our most beautiful homeland, and even at the cost of my life, I will protect this place!"
