Over a thousand feet deep.

If it were an ordinary place, Li Ye could dig it out with ease.

But, this place was different.

He was about to take out the Tribulation Fire to start a fire here.

Suddenly.

A cyan halo appeared beside him, from which a joyful voice emerged:

"Father."

"I've brought you a gift!"

Immediately following, from that cyan rift, the Lotus Spirit, standing on the Cyan Bird, holding an ice spike, appeared before the two.

This little one said nothing and stuffed the ice spike into Li Ye's hand, then, seemingly exhausted, curled up on Li Ye's shoulder.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Ye felt her Spiritual Power was exceptionally weak, almost as if she were on the brink of death.

How could this be?

To know this being, after binding with the Cyan Bird, could enjoy the blessings granted by the Celestial Dao, no cultivator not inclined to oppose the Dao could harm her.

Nothing abnormal showed on the panel either.

Li Ye looked serious, transferring some of his Spiritual Qi to her, then sent her and the Cyan Bird into the Jianmu world to rest.

Then, he looked at the gift she brought.

The ice spike was crystal clear, yet exuded an indescribable frigid aura, freezing even the surrounding turbid air as it appeared.

"Hmm? Isn't this the Instant Ice from the Evernight Abyssal Sea in the Northern Domain?"

The senior brother, after all, was more knowledgeable than Li Ye, recognizing the item while Li Ye was still observing it.

He was quite surprised: "It's said that this item contains a trace of temporal power, only occasionally produced in the sea trench of the Abyssal Sea, even a Nascent Soul would find it difficult to collect.

Moreover, I remember that area has been designated as a forbidden zone by the Spirit Refining Sect, how did she obtain it?"

"Won't we find out by looking?"

Li Ye was also curious about how this being acquired it; he felt it might be related to her inexplicable injury, so he reached out and made a gesture.

Next moment.

A scene of the Lotus Spirit emerged before them.

She was seen dragging the cyan-winged bird to a place that seemed calm but in fact had a surging flow, almost pitch-black Everfrost Sea below.

She seemed very curious about what lay beneath.

Directly tugging at the bird's tail—

"Whoosh!"

The seemingly intricate arrays on the sea surface couldn't stop her for even a second; she and the bird turned into a stream of cyan light, delving into the water.

To know the seawater of the Evernight Abyssal Sea could freeze the magic body of a Nascent Soul True Man, and due to the Northern Domain's peculiarity, the spiritual power structure here was extremely chaotic.

Yet in this chaotic sea, the swiftly parted sea couldn't interfere with the seemingly thin layer of cyan light, allowing the Lotus Spirit to ride the Cyan Bird and reach the seabed effortlessly.

It was like strolling leisurely in her own garden.

But she seemed unable to randomly take any of the treasures piled under the sea, nurtured by various spiritual energies, only able to look, and every time she wanted to act, the Cyan Bird would immediately stop her.

Until they encountered those Instant Ices casually placed at the seabed haphazardly.

The Lotus Spirit's eyes lit up.

She bounced around the Instant Ice, her eyes nearly overflowing with desire.

Then somehow she communicated with the Cyan Bird, and anyway, the Cyan Bird seemed to finally agree to let her touch the Instant Ice.

At the moment she acquired it.

The Spiritual Power of her and the Cyan Bird was directly devoured by an invisible force, leaving them both on the verge of collapse, the Cyan Bird expending all its power to open a spatial rift.

Thus, they managed to return to Li Ye's side.

Otherwise, they would have already been buried deep within that sea region.

The scene ended here.

"Ah, I see."

The senior brother saw through the mystery within.

"This should be the special ability of the Cyan Bird."

"It's said the Cyan Bird can instantly travel through the Five Domains and Four Seas, unaffected by any Spatial Array or Forbidden Technique."

"Yet it cannot use this power to acquire certain unattainable objects; this is the Celestial Dao's restriction on it. Otherwise, with its power akin to the Tao Laws themselves, it could acquire anything at will within the world."

"I fear now it's because it helped your little one acquire this piece of Instant Ice that it got punished by the Celestial Dao, its power nearly vanished."

Li Ye felt warm hearing this.

He glanced at the Lotus Spirit, who had fallen asleep holding the reappeared Cyan Bird, softly complaining:

"This little one is really…"

Yet this affection is indeed deep; she even got hurt like this to bring him a gift.

Li Ye truly couldn't bear even to feign scolding her for a couple of lines, so he promptly changed the subject:

"I see this Instant Ice can freeze the turbid air. Why not try using it to cast a spell and directly delve into the turbid air, would that work?"

The senior brother nodded.

"Naturally."

"..."

He truly felt Li Ye had some Qi Fortune.

How is it possible to have a pillow delivered when he was about to nap—does this not suggest that the Tribulation Fire might not be usable here?

At this moment, he even suspected that the Cyan Bird could have defied the Celestial Dao to acquire the Instant Ice precisely because Li Ye needed it.

The Celestial Dao doesn't favor anyone without reason.

Even affection has its reasons; there might be more than just fragments of Ruo Wood here, something else may be involved.

Thinking of this, he lowered his gaze.

He could feel that the Four Seasons Sect had already broken through a great part of the Hell Path's seal, anticipating that the time he could remain here was limited.
