The desolate realm of the Frozen Sea, devoid of treasures, rarely attracted visitors except for body-tempering cultivators with ice spiritual roots. Yet, now several individuals had arrived. Recalling how he had been relentlessly pursued a year ago, Mo Wuji, no matter how dense, understood that the chase wasn't solely orchestrated by Duanmen or the Yan family; it was because he had obtained some sort of treasure.

Before entering the vast starry skies, he had killed Yan Yangdong on the dueling stage. If there was a treasure, it would be something from Yan Yangdong.

If his guess was correct, these people were here for the three Half-Moon Keys. The people who chased him a year ago were also after the Half-Moon Keys. However, these individuals were hypocritical and shameless, unwilling to openly seize the keys from him, resorting to finding excuses instead.

These people must be searching for him, perhaps for the Half-Moon Keys on his person. Mo Wuji snorted coldly and stood up.

With his current fusion with the icy aura deep within the Frozen Sea, even a Human Immortal passing by might not detect him concealed within the icy waves.

However, he never considered hiding and avoiding these fellows. The fire in his heart had been burning for over a year, constantly yearning to burst out and unleash a bloody rampage. Now that people had come to the Frozen Sea seeking him, he wouldn't let them go; otherwise, he wouldn't be Mo Wuji.

Whether it was to avenge himself or to avenge Shuyin, this debt would be settled starting now.

He gazed towards the edge of the Frozen Sea, his eyes seething with murderous intent. Those who could reach this place were definitely not weak. At the very least, they were True God Realm experts at their peak, and quite possibly Human Immortal Realm powerhouses.

If it were in the outer starry skies, it would be one thing, but now the Frozen Sea was his territory. Since they had come here, they would remain here forever.

Mo Wuji took out his best array flags and began frantically setting up a Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array (Juan Ling Zhen).

This type of array was only researched by boring top-tier array masters like Chu Xingzi; few others would bother setting up such a seemingly useless array.

This array had only one purpose: to gather all the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a vortex. However, this vortex was chaotic and not as suitable for cultivation as a Spirit-Gathering Array (Ju Ling Zhen).

An hour later, Mo Wuji completed the Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array and erected a stele containing a sliver of Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) within the array. Only then did he swiftly depart, carrying Cen Shuyin's jade coffin.

Reaching a location several miles away from the Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array, Mo Wuji first carefully settled Cen Shuyin, then retrieved a laser cannon.

He had witnessed the power of the laser cannon. He was certain that the laser cannon wasn't for dealing with Human Immortals, but rather a treasure for dealing with cultivators even stronger than Human Immortals. As for the shells, even with the formula, even the most skilled artifact refiner couldn't produce them.

This cannon had great power, but also drawbacks – it was too slow to set up. If he were fighting a powerful opponent, they might have already eliminated him before he could even take out the laser cannon.

After setting up the laser cannon, Mo Wuji loaded a shell into the firing chamber and waited patiently. He had spent over a year in the Frozen Sea and opened up his Fetal Breathing Meridians (Tai Xi Luo). Concealed several miles away from the Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array, not a trace of his aura would leak out.

A few minutes later, Mo Wuji's Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array was activated. The boundless spiritual energy in the Frozen Sea formed a chaotic vortex, frantically rushing towards the center of the array.

At the same time that Mo Wuji sensed the arrival of people in the Frozen Sea, several Human Immortal Realm experts also sensed some fluctuations of aura deep within the Frozen Sea.

Although they had been here for some time, they hadn't immersed themselves in the Frozen Sea for over a year like Mo Wuji had. After all, Mo Wuji was cultivating here, cultivating a modified cultivation technique. His goal was to integrate himself with the surrounding icy spiritual energy as much as possible, both to enhance his resistance to the cold and to increase his cultivation speed.

These people were only here to search for something, forcibly resisting the intense cold with their cultivation techniques. Their sensitivity to the cold of the Frozen Sea was naturally far inferior to Mo Wuji's.

So, even though they sensed Mo Wuji's aura fluctuations, they couldn't identify them for a while. In the Frozen Sea, spiritual senses were greatly reduced, preventing them from observing Mo Wuji in detail deep within the Frozen Sea.

If someone said that Mo Wuji was cultivating deep within the Frozen Sea, not a single Human Immortal expert here would believe it.

Despite not knowing what it was, these Human Immortal experts were slowly approaching Mo Wuji's location.

When Mo Wuji's Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array erupted, the terrifying spiritual energy swept over, and these Human Immortal experts no longer moved at a leisurely pace. Almost everyone transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the location of the Spirit-Gathering Vortex Array.

"Boom!" The first to arrive was a red-faced Human Immortal expert. Upon arriving, he didn't hesitate at all, punching through the outermost shielding array with one blow.

"Xia Guangyuan, we all came here together. It's not good to try and hog everything..." Following behind the red-faced expert, several figures rushed over like shadows.

"Eh!" The red-faced Human Immortal named Xia Guangyuan didn't continue to rush in after breaking the protective array. Instead, he stared at a stone stele and exclaimed in surprise.

"There's a trace of Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) aura inside..." another Human Immortal expert among those who followed said.

Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin)! Everyone's heart burned with passion. If they could obtain the Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin), their strength would more than double!

But even knowing that there was Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) beneath the stele, no one rashly rushed forward.

As Human Immortal experts, they were well aware of the power of Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin). Once the Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) was triggered, even Human Immortal experts would suffer greatly. Moreover, there weren't just one person here; all six who came were in the Human Immortal Realm.

"It seems like someone set this up intentionally. Who would put Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) in a place like this?" Yan Tongqu said doubtfully.

"Wait, there are words on it, rather blurry... It says, 'From today onwards, I will slowly harvest your dog lives to avenge my wife...' " A Human Immortal expert from Star Emperor Mountain shook his head after reading it. Truly, ignorance is bliss.

Six Human Immortals were here, yet someone carved such idiotic words. The other Human Immortal experts also shook their heads.

Something was wrong. Almost simultaneously, all six Human Immortals reacted. Someone who could carve words about revenge here, and with fresh marks, could only mean one thing: the kid with the Half-Moon Keys hadn't died.

Thinking that Mo Wuji hadn't died, joy flashed in the eyes of the six. Some even thought that, besides the Half-Moon Keys, the Azure Heart Flame (Qing Jin Zhi Xin) was also on Mo Wuji, and he intended to use it to scheme against them...

In the distance, Mo Wuji glanced at the jade coffin beside him and murmured, "Shuyin, watch as I collect some interest for you first."

After saying that, he pressed his hand down, activating the laser cannon.

A blinding white light caused the six who were speaking to pause their words. Immediately, their eyes couldn't even see the things in front of them clearly, and a sense of death enveloped them.

Not good! The six Human Immortal experts reacted almost simultaneously, wanting to retreat at the same time.

As Human Immortal experts, even though they didn't know what the danger was, retreating was the first priority.

But the next moment, an aura that would destroy the laws of heaven and earth enveloped them, engulfing all six together.

What terrifying thing was this? The six had just flashed this thought in their minds when a deafening explosion that seemed to tear apart the heavens and the earth completely swallowed them.

A giant ice cave appeared in the place where the six had been standing moments before. The ice waves around it were completely flattened.

Mo Wuji put away the laser cannon, picked up Cen Shuyin's jade coffin, and walked over unhurriedly.

The six Human Immortals who had been struck by the laser cannon were long gone, their bodies completely disintegrated, not even leaving behind any traces of their rings. Mo Wuji didn't bother to pay attention to these six Human Immortals who had been killed by him. He just stared blankly at the giant circular hole in front of him.

This was the result of his laser cannon blast. The rich spiritual energy emanating from the bottom of the circular hole almost suffocated Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji looked at the bottom in shock. What was this place? Before, when he was cultivating on top, he had sensed endless spiritual energy, but now that it had been blasted open by his laser cannon, the spiritual energy was even more astonishing.

All one hundred and four of his meridians simultaneously reversed circulation, most enjoying the abundant spiritual energy. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster he could cultivate.

After only a slight hesitation, Mo Wuji directly entered the giant ice cave.

A few minutes later, Mo Wuji was completely stunned. In front of him were patches of stone blocks that looked like lingzhi mushrooms. The almost suffocating spiritual energy was emanating from these stone blocks.

Moreover, he recognized these things. These weren't spirit stones, nor spirit veins, but spirit marrow.

This wasn't even a spirit marrow pool, but a mountain of spirit marrow!

Mo Wuji gently stroked the jade coffin beside him. Shuyin was protecting him even in the afterlife, allowing him to find such an unparalleled cultivation ground.

……

The Starry Sky Pier had always been the most densely populated place for Starry Sky Hall cultivators to come and go.

Most cultivators came here either to take on Starry Sky Contribution Point missions, to form teams, or to enter the starry sky. Others went to the second floor of the Starry Sky Pier to exchange for things they needed.

But today, many cultivators were gathering in groups of three or five.

"Did you know? Recently, six Human Immortal Realm powerhouses have fallen in the Frozen Sea, one of the Nine Great Desolate Realms," a yellow-clad cultivator was saying to the surrounding cultivators with an exaggerated expression.

"Don't spout nonsense. The Frozen Sea is indeed one of the Nine Great Desolate Realms of the Starry Sky Battlefield, but Human Immortal Realm experts will definitely not be in danger of falling as long as they don't stay inside for too long..."

"Hehe, believe it or not, my information is guaranteed to be reliable. I'm telling you, if the Star Lord hadn't stopped the three great families and some other powerhouses, maybe..." The yellow-clad cultivator immediately stopped talking when he saw a cultivator from Star Emperor Mountain approaching.

"What he said is true. I heard that several Human Immortal experts have fallen in the Frozen Sea this time, and the Frozen Sea seems to be more dangerous than before. Let me tell you, Senior Yan Tongqu of the Yan family, who just came out of seclusion, entered the Frozen Sea and hasn't come out since," another cultivator said in a low voice.
