Chapter 1557 Stronger Yin
"Just how long is this place?" Alex wondered. He had been walking down the cave with the ever-increasing cold for what felt like days now and still, he didn't reach the end.
Sure the path he walked didn't just go straight to the center, but rather snaked around multiple ways, even crossing into other paths many times.
Many times, it also split into other pathways, and Alex no longer could make judgments on which path he could take to the center based on the coldness. He had to make the judgment purely out of random.
Still, the path he chose never ended, so maybe the tidbit he had heard about none of the pathways mattering, and all leading to the center was correct.
He sat down once again, the floor that was once dry, then frosted, now completely covered in a layer of ice. It wasn't just the ground, but the wall and the ceiling as well.
It was an ice cave at this point, with icicles of nearly 5 meters in length available in some places even. However, they weren't normal ice or icicles, and were, in fact, Yin Ice, making everything much more difficult to handle.
Alex closed his eyes and started adjusting to the increased coldness, learning as much as he could about Yin. That to his surprise had been going on smoothly. nove-lb/In
Alex was learning about Yin.
After some time, he opened his eyes, understanding Yin a little bit more, which allowed him to shave off its effect on him. He could go a little further.
Alex took a quick glance in his Soul Space, making sure no Yin had invaded it. Once he was sure, he looked at the timer in his Soul Space, the Voidsand Hourglass, which let him know that only 4 days had passed since he had entered this place.
"I have..." Alex thought for a moment. "10 more days?" No one was sure how long the cave would be open, so that was the amount of time he could stay in there safely.
He stood up to leave, looking in the direction he needed to move toward.
One thing puzzled him about the pathway that he hadn't yet managed to figure out about. How could he see in here?
Cultivators had incredible eyesight, needing barely any light to see things at all. But they still needed some light. This deep underground there should have been no light, and yet he could see.
Were the other cultivators using artifacts to light up the place? Giving him enough to see everything. He didn't believe there were even that many cultivators close to him to begin with.
The coldness he was facing needed either an incredible understanding of Yin to deal with or just an absurd amount of Yang to make Yin useless to himself. And Alex was doing both.
He had learned what he considered a lot about Yin and also brought out Yang from his Dantian. It was a good thing that he had started carrying a healthy chunk of Yang treasures since his Yin problem had surfaced a few years ago.
Thanks to it, he didn't have to worry about being unable to move forward more in the cave. After a few more hours of walking, he sat down to learn more about Yang and did this 3 more times over the course of the entire next day.
Then, around the start of the 6th day, Alex realized that there was some light coming from the end of the cave. There was something at the end that was providing light for him to see, for everyone in the cave to see.
He wondered what it was.
Unfortunately, he had to stop once again as the Yin was getting incredibly dense around here, and cultivating alone was becoming hard as all he would absorb was Yin, and that was not what the Five Yang Divine Path needed to work properly.
Alex used the Yang treasures to fight back the Yin inside his Dantian, but other than that, he couldn't use his cultivation technique for actually cultivating.
So, he was forced to use his Undying Physique technique to cultivate. The sheer speed at which he cultivated using that technique in here was surprising. However, since that technique did use Yin, maybe it shouldn't have been.
Alex cultivated constantly, improving his physique, getting ever closer to that 3rd stage, but that seemed like a mile away. Still, he was traversing a healthy chunk with how he was cultivating down here.
That made him wonder what it was down here that was causing such a thick settlement of Yin to form. As far as Alex could remember, not even the Yin bead had caused such a phenomenon.
There had to be something here. Something stronger than the bead itself. He couldn't imagine something stronger than the bead, but then again, what did he know about the other realms?
