Chapter 414: Chapter 85: The Navigation Routes of the Old World (Major Chapter, Asking for Monthly Votes!)_2

A faint woman’s voice arose from the distance.

"Is the link still unable to be established?"

The gaze shifted slightly downward.

The one recording this video was a gaunt young man, clutching a communications device with his withered palm covered in a thin layer of frost; his skin was frozen to a ghastly pale, and a green vine was wrapped around his wrist, emanating a glowing green light.

It was precisely because of this green light.

That he could barely withstand the overwhelming snowstorm.

"Perhaps... we need... to open the gate wider..."

The young man took a deep breath.

He turned his head.

Looking in the direction where snow streamed without end... Behind him, where there had been nothing in sight, a portal had opened amidst the void, constructed of countless vines and strands of hair.

On either side of this portal, two figures sat, one on the left and one on the right, supporting the opening of the "gateway."

This gateway, having been opened only a few meters wide, had hundreds of tons of snow pouring out of it, much like an erupting volcano, spewing from this world to the outside... except what it expelled was extreme cold.

The torrential snow flowed with a thunderous rumble.

The young man struggled to stand firm, leaning his body to its limits as if a tottering old tree, even so, one foot left the ground, but only because his feet were entwined with hair. It was precisely by these strands that he resisted the terrible suction of this world and wasn’t directly ejected through the distant "gateway."

Through the diligent efforts of the two people seated to the left and right.

The small gateway within the void strained to open wider—

Wider!

At that moment!

The static in the communications device ceased.

Restoring to normal.

"Attempting to establish a link..."

"Link established."

The young man shouted joyfully, "Success! Hold it steady!"

The figures seated before the two gates, one old and one young, trembled violently... maintaining the gateway’s opening was taking a significant toll on them.

The young man seized this brief moment to address the communication device quickly.

"This is the East Continent Court’s special operations team; I am Judge Zhong Wei, accompanied by Judge Luo Er and Grand Judge Zhou Jiren."

"Recording location at North Continent Moon City Fortress, roughly twenty-six kilometers north of the canyon entrance."

"If Deep Sea can hear our voices, please upload the video to the North Continent Federation database after the link disconnects, ensure this data is appropriately signed and delivered to Duke Zhuxue."

"We have discovered a Super Large Disaster Realm at Moon City... originally estimated at a diameter of twelve thousand kilometers, expanding at a rate of thirty meters per day. As per the federation’s regulations, upon confirmation of the realm’s characteristics, it shall be targeted for elimination. But on behalf of the East Continent Court, we request that the North Continent Military Department protect the scene, prevent Transcendents from entering the Disaster Realm again, and abstain from destructive attacks against the realm."

"Within this Disaster Realm, we have found a ’nautical route’ not entwined with ’Black Spots’... suspected to be an ancient path leading to the Old World."

At this point,

Having expended considerable energy.

The young man started to run rapidly into the distance, speaking loudly, his throat as if filled with blades, sounding raspy and coarse, but despite that, he continued to bellow, ensuring his voice could be carried to the outside world by the communications device, "Due to the instability of the link... I cannot guarantee the display of the picture, but I will try my best to run!"

The next moment!

He was like a meteor ablaze with flames engulfing his entire body.

With all his Extraordinary Abilities erupting.

Everything on him, frost and all, began to burn, even the green vines ignited, and the sizzling sounds of burning could be heard over the device, almost drowning out the howling of the wind and snow... but the farther he got from the gateway, the worse the signal became, and the harder he tried to run towards the distance, the more blurred the images in the Spiritual Link became.

In the distance howled the wind and snow.

The snowstorm grew fiercer, sharp as knives... within the Spiritual Vision, even streaks of blood appeared.

Finally appearing were two towering, ghastly pale mountains!

On their far side, there were silvery specks... countless winds and snow tore through the air, but that place seemed to be the only haven of calm, where reaching it, all the bitter cold and frost would cease to be.

The next moment.

The video ended.

All sounds and images froze in the silver whiteness.

...

...

"This video was transmitted from the North Continent Fortress."

Gu Qilin spoke, saying, "I think, it’s necessary for you to see this footage as well."

"Is this the reason why my teacher and the others... didn’t come out?"

The playback of the footage ended.

The lights of the [Lanterns] on the rooftop seemed to dim considerably.

Gu Shen came back to his senses, feeling inexplicably cold... with snow that could likely freeze a person directly into an ice sculpture.

"Yes. They chose to stay inside that Disaster Realm, and the only thing transmitted was this video."

The old man’s expression was somewhat complicated.

"As far as I know... Zhou Jiren’s departure from Da Du to the Moon City Fortress was because the [Heaven’s Eye] sent out a strand of hair. Even with the power of [Heaven’s Eye], only a single strand could be sent out, so the transmission of this video is already a miracle."

Because of the combined effort of two top-tier Transcendents.

That gate was opened.

Yet even so... the losses were severe.
