Iceberg, at 2,480 meters.
Crack!
A hand covered in ice crystals stabbed into the Ice Layer. A few minutes ago, the howling cold wind had stopped, leaving only sporadic snowflakes drifting through the air.
Su Xiao exhaled a breath of cold air. Fine ice crystals condensed in the white mist and fell toward the foot of the Iceberg.

Su Xiao looked toward the top of the Iceberg. It was still endless, but strangely, the temperature had actually risen somewhat here—conservatively estimated to be no colder than minus 200°C.
The temperature was still freezing, but it was no longer cold enough to kill Su Xiao at any moment. He sped up his climb.

With a sharp crack, the solid ice in Su Xiao's hand shattered. His other hand immediately stabbed into the Ice Layer, halting his descent.
Wisps of white vapor rose within Su Xiao's clothes. After climbing to around 3,000 meters, the temperature had risen to roughly minus 150°C. This made Su Xiao wonder if the Eternal Frozen Sea's cold had not formed naturally, but was instead caused by something or some terrain beneath the sea.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to continue climbing, he noticed a thin mist above the Iceberg. After climbing another hundred or so meters, he reached the
