The chill enveloping Zhang Yang had become unbearable, and a thin layer of frost was gradually forming on his eyebrows.
By chance, he discovered such a high-quality Yellow Jade Mine, intending to absorb Spiritual Energy, but ended up in this predicament. "If I were to die here, that would be too unfortunate," Zhang Yang thought, feeling extremely anxious, yet the flow of energy throughout his body continued to slow down.
At that moment, in his mind, the movements of the Orange Figure were also becoming slower, while the Dragon Form had transformed into a Bright Yellow hue, circling back and forth, surrounding the Orange Figure within. Eventually, the human form seemed to enter a meditative state as the Bright Yellow Dragon Form tightly coiled around it. The dragon's head raised high, and it opened its mouth to swallow the human figure!
After swallowing the Orange Figure, the movements did not cease. The Bright Yellow Dragon Form dashed left and right as if searching for an escape route but remained confined within a certain area. Its speed increased, filling Zhang Yang's mind with traces of Bright Yellow, growing increasingly chaotic.
Gradually, Zhang Yang lost consciousness...
In his stupor, scenes began to clarify: an oasis in the desert, sturdy and beautiful cities, bustling caravans, and lively markets filled with an air of prosperity and abundance.
Suddenly, the scene shifted. Dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, yellow sand swirled in chaos, and the sky darkened. On a high platform, several oddly dressed Bare-Chested Men with fierce masks danced around a figure in white. In the distance, within the Mountain Body, a Bright Yellow Dragon Form appeared as clear as molten lava. Suddenly, the figure in white pointed to the sky; a bolt of lightning struck the Mountain Body. The Dragon Form seemed to gradually cool down until it turned Cold White and became rigidly hidden within the mountains.
As the dark clouds dispersed and thunder ceased, sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone down. The original city reappeared before him; however, the scenes of prosperity had transformed into Iron Cavalry, Weapons, slaughtering chaos—the air thick with bloodshed. Ultimately, the once-thriving city was buried beneath a sea of yellow sand.
As this scene unfolded in his mind, a wave of compassion surged within Zhang Yang's unconscious body—a warmth began to spread. Initially like a trickle of water, this feeling grew broader and more turbulent until it melted away the icy bloodlines...
The Bright Yellow Dragon Form gradually quieted down as well; then it shrank smaller and smaller until it became a Bright Yellow sphere spinning rapidly. In its rotation, it eventually transformed back into a human form—only this time it was not the Orange Figure but rather a yellow figure!
The figure began to dance again, moving faster and faster. The yellow light seemed to permeate through every vein in its body; its energy grew hotter and began flowing rapidly. The chill melted away; its stiff body revived as heat radiated outward until it burst forth like boiling water—gushing out explosively!
With a loud crackling sound, Zhang Yang was suddenly jolted awake.
"Wow! You scared me!" he exclaimed as he heard Liang Ming's voice nearby. "We were just about to break through the ice but were worried you wouldn't survive if we did."
Zhang Yang looked around and saw that ice blocks of various sizes were scattered around him. His hands were still pressed against the surface of the Yellow Jade Mine, but he easily pulled them away. Standing nearby were Liang Ming, Shi Qing, and Qi Shen.
At this moment, the sky was already bright.
"I went back to find them and then rushed over here. As a result, I encountered the Star River Squad. We didn't want to lead them here, so we ran in a direction perpendicular to the mountain wall. Unexpectedly, we didn't run far before bumping into another squad. The three teams chased each other and got into a chaotic fight, tossing and turning all night. We hit four people in their torsos and three in their arms, earning 18 points. However, Qin Wen got shot and had to go to the rest area," Shi Qing explained.
"We took a detour and returned here. By the time we came in, it was almost dawn, and we found you frozen in ice..."
"To knock or not to knock, that's the question. If we break the ice, what if you can't survive? But if we don't knock, what if you freeze to death? Even three cobblers can't match Zhuge Liang's wisdom; there was no solution. Then suddenly, the ice shattered, and you revived on your own. I mean, what kind of luck is that?" Liang Ming said.
Zhang Yang moved his hands and feet and found nothing unusual. He then picked up a dagger and used the blade to check the mark on his forehead, discovering it had turned yellow.
Indeed, he had now integrated into a level higher than Orange Level—Yellow Level!
"I saw a strip of Yellow Jade Mine exposed here and wanted to touch it. But it got colder and colder, and I couldn't pull my hand away. In the end, I got frozen and passed out. Later, my body became hotter and then I woke up to find all this ice around me," Zhang Yang said while observing their expressions.
As a result, they all looked skeptical.
"Stop talking nonsense," Qi Shen pointed at where Zhang Yang had removed his hand: "This is clearly white stone; where did the Yellow Jade Mine come from?"
Zhang Yang was startled and took a closer look. The strip of yellow jade had indeed turned into Cold White rock. "If you don't believe me, ask Shi Qing. When I entered with him, wasn't this place yellow jade?"
"To be honest, I don't understand jade well; I didn't look closely. It does seem different from now, but maybe not by much," Shi Qing pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "However, after I left you, I didn't feel like you were in any danger; I felt quite at ease when I left."
When Shi Qing spoke, Qi Shen and Liang Ming both stared at Zhang Yang with strange expressions, thinking in unison: What other unusual things could happen to this guy?
"I ask you, aside from my explanation just now, can you think of a more reasonable one?" Zhang Yang suddenly countered.
The three of them thought carefully. While discussing how to thaw Zhang Yang, they had considered many possible scenarios, but none were as logical as Zhang Yang's explanation.
"Since Zhang Yang is fine now, I think there's no need to discuss it further. Let's disguise the cave entrance, drink some water, eat something, and rest for a bit," Qi Shen said.
"You all have been tired all night. After eating and drinking, hurry up and sleep. I feel like after being frozen all night, I’m actually more energized," Zhang Yang laughed.
"Ah, now that's the most reasonable explanation," Liang Ming said excitedly.
After the three lay down to rest, Zhang Yang began to ponder. Previously, absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the jade had brought a refreshing and comfortable sensation, significantly boosting his power. However, this time he was actually countered by the immense coldness of the jade. If it weren't for the warm feeling triggered by the sorrowful aura rising from a once-prosperous Ancient Kingdom that had suddenly fallen and been buried by sand, which then transformed into a warm current that revived the Orange Figure in his mind, he would likely have perished.
The problem definitely lay with this Yellow Jade Mine. Although the Spiritual Energy was boundless, its counteracting force was also incredibly strong. This time, relying on the infinite Spiritual Energy and integrating it with Soul Cultivation at the Yellow Level was entirely due to that fleeting sorrowful aura at the brink of life and death.
"Sorrow for the world, dragon, Ancient Kingdom, extinction..." Zhang Yang murmured softly when suddenly a light bulb went off in his mind: Is this Yellow Jade Mine vein actually the Dragon Vein of that extinct Western Ancient Kingdom?!
