Chapter 2144 Yin
The Yin of Ever Dark realm was no different than the gravity of the First Mountain's stairway. It started off very weak and remained weak for a long time, but the closer he got to it, the stronger it became.
At the point he was in, around the 300-thousand kilometer mark, Alex could begin to sense it strongly now. It was more than just an aura around him now, it was an obstacle that kept him from getting closer.
Of course, given how far away he was right now, it was still not much of an obstacle.
But as he got closer and it got stronger, he was beginning to slow down a lot.
They were around 200 thousand kilometer range when Silvermist spoke up. "We should be entering the threshold of where Immortals had trouble soon. Make sure to properly protect yourself."
Alex nodded. 10 minutes later, he felt it.
The cold from the Yin had increased to a point where it was bone-chilling. It prickled throughout his skin, penetrating deep into him, and hurting him. To Alex's surprise, he couldn't handle it with just his body alone.
The strength of his body made it difficult for the Yin to affect him as fast, but without Qi, he could feel the initial effects right away. He needed to protect himself with Qi.
He filled his body with his Qi and the penetrating Yin disappeared, leaving him with no such feeling at all. With this, he could continue flying for a while longer.
Alex looked on ahead, the large realm becoming larger and larger to his eyes. At this point, it was so large that it covered his entire field of view. And the tiny bits of light that did escape from it let everyone finally see it with a much clearer light.
The realm was mostly white. It was all frozen over, with a thick aura that covered it. Alex could see the thick blackness that came from the Yin aura that permeated throughout the entire land.
There was a sort of bubble around it too, confusing him. "Is there an atmosphere there?" Alex asked.
"There is," Silvermist answered. "But the yin has changed it to not be habitable. Once in a while, some plants grow that can thrive in strong Yin, but it is impossible to search for those. You would need a long time to search for it, and because Yin aura disrupts even Divine sense there, searching for them is pretty much impossible."
Alex nodded as he continued looking ahead. The aura got stronger, but he could handle it for now. Ahead of him, a few Immortals had slowed down, now treading forward slowly. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He thought for a moment. "Does your physique allow you to improve your Spiritual energy too?" he asked.
"No, I used a technique to improve it," Alex answered. "It's stronger than what my cultivation allows it to be, but... it also lowers how much of it I have. It's a give and take."
Silvermist noded. "Even then, how do you have such a strong Intent?" he asked, confused. "Have you been around places with a strong Yin aura before?"
Alex nodded. The Yin cave in the Ivory kingdom of the Eastern Continent was where he had been around Yin which was much stronger than what he was facing right now.
"There is a strong Yin cave in the lower realm I came from," Alex said. "I've been there before and trained within it."
"Right!" Grimsight said suddenly. "You came from a lower realm that used to belong to demons, didn't you?" Alex frowned for a moment. "I believe it was a demon's place previously," he said. "Why do you ask, senior?"
"I've heard about that cave of yours. Every demon world has a similar cave like that. Every single one that the humans captured has such a realm."
"Oh?" Alex said, surprised. "Every demon realm?"
He remembered what was at the center of the cave. The walls of the cave were covered in descriptive runes drawn all over it, meant to gather Yin at the center. There was a place that was meant to find someone.
A beacon should the fated one lay their hand over it.
The Moon Goddess.
'So it wasn't just our world that had it,' he thought. 'Every world with demons has it. Is... that the same for the Sun God too?'
"I guess I can understand how you're used to suppressing Yin aura," Silvermist said. "It's a bit too strong still, almost as if you know Yin Dao."
"I do know Yin dao," Alex said. "I was forced to learn it within that cave I told you about."
"Ah!" Silvermist exclaimed. "That makes much more sense. Yin dao huh? That's not something men usually learn so easily. You are either very talented or have a body that works well with Yin. Good, good. You should be able to make it much further ahead then."
