Even some of the lesser sprites here, after sensing Li Yan's aura, continued to attack him, perhaps because their intelligence had yet to fully awaken.
Li Yan found this unbearably vexing. He could not keep himself hidden at all times, after all—he needed to search for the "Polar Ice Heart."
Moreover, there were too many places here where he had to use his spiritual power. Constantly maintaining concealment techniques would add no small burden to his consumption.
Li Yan finally understood the frustration his master Dong Fuyi had felt after entering this place and losing his sense of direction.
The various attacks here found it difficult to kill him now; naturally, killing his master Dong Fuyi would be even harder. Yet the evil of this ice field made it an excellent place to trap enemies.
If Master Dong Fuyi had not been deceived into coming here, and one of his other martial uncles had come instead, they would not have had the Gui Water True Scripture's ability to blend in with the situation.
They could only rely on their restricted cultivation to continuously resist the laws of heaven and earth here head-on. With one misstep, they truly might have perished in this place.
The dangers of this place emerged one after another, rather than being as direct and obvious as those in certain deadly lands.
As a result, cultivators here would often encounter unimaginable dangers after moving only a short distance.
Li Yan searched the surroundings again. He had already descended more than twenty thousand zhang into this glacier.
At this depth, the heavy snowfall and red arcs of lightning from before had become exceedingly sparse, rarely drifting down this far anymore.
Yet such places were also where sprites, and even some rare Demon Beasts, were more likely to appear.
