Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 2731: Freezing and Warm

Chapter 2731: Freezing and Warm

The Yin within this region was far too strong for Whisker.

Within monts of being pushed there, he could already feel the biting cold that ca off it. If it wasn’t a terrible situation, Whisker may have taken a mont to wonder.

The Yin almost imdiately invaded his body, freezing him entirely before even his mind was taken away. His body grew rigid, all of his ridians shrinking up instantly. Even the Qi flowing through his body seed to freeze all of a sudden.

The pressure alone might have been enough to make Whisker fail to do anything here. It being Yin was just a nail in the coffin.

His mind went next, his consciousness slowly being stripped away. Having completely taken over his body, the Yin took over his mind as well, slowly freezing it away as he was put into a slumber outside of his volition.

As the coldness took in Whisker, the only regret he had was that he did not kill himself imdiately.

Frozen and unconscious, Whisker lay there in the heavy sludge, alongside thousands of other beasts that had died in a similar way throughout the eons where this region of Hell had existed.

Not all beasts ended up with this fate the sa way Whisker did. So were greedy enough to want more, but so were just unlucky.

So were wounded and ended up sinking further than they had intended to. So lost track of ti and left too late at the end of the day when the Yin was drawn in. So were early and were attacked by the other beasts that were already down here.

However it happened, though, they all reached the sa fate. And now, Whisker was another one to share that fate.

But not for long.

Whisker’s mind returned to him first. His consciousness slowly faded in, followed by his senses.

He felt… warm.

He was still cold, but it was definitely much warr than he had been before.

‘What happened?’ Whisker thought with a slow mind. He was still trying to rember the last thing that had happened.

He quickly rembered that he had been frozen here by Yin and imdiately attempted to escape. His body barely moved at all. The heat hadn’t been able to give him control of his body back.

It took a mont for that to happen. When it did, the first thing Whisker did was expel the sludge that had flowed in through his mouth. Then, when he got control of his body back, he imdiately waded through the thick sludge, trying to go back up.

However, just a few seconds in, Whisker bumped into sothing. His Spiritual sense had still not fully been released, so he hadn’t seen the thing he had bumped into.

Whatever it was, though, it was warm.

Whisker slowly released his Spiritual sense. While the Yin in the sludge hadn’t lowered in amount just yet, its effect was being countered by this weird heat he had encountered.

As Whisker checked what the source of the heat was, he ca across a giant wall before him. He slowly reached for the wall, the warmth helping his body be more active.

The wall was directly flat on top of him in that mont, so Whisker had to climb along the bottom of its body, trying to find a way up. As he scaled the bottom of the wall, Whisker arrived at a location to the side where he saw a way up.

However, there wasn’t just a way up, but also sothing else. Sothing large bulging out the side of the thing he thought was a wall.

Looking at the thing, Whisker realized what it was.

A leg.

The thing he had thought was a wall was nothing but just the underbelly of a giant beast.

The revelation was surprising for Whisker, but it also made sense. Only beasts would be here aside from a random amount of sludge. But, how was the beast surviving in this region?

In fact, how was it so warm?

Whisker was sure he had co so far down that even beasts with Sunhearts wouldn’t dare co here. After all, it got much colder at night when the Yin was dragged in, so even with all the Yang their Sunhearts drew, they would still be forced to stay further up.

But this beast had managed to co all the way down there.

‘How is it doing this?’ Whisker thought. ‘How is it so warm?’

That was sothing that didn’t make sense to Whisker. The amount of Yang in this place was so very low that no Sunheart could draw in this much warmth. It was pretty much impossible.

So the fact that the beast before him was so warm made no sense to him at all. In fact, now that he was sensing it, he could sense no movent of Yang in the area at all.

Whisker climbed the beast all the way to the top, and in doing so realized that it was a large tortoise within the sludge, staying only with its head in its shell.

Whisker walked on top of its shell, continuing to wonder about the situation. Had the beast just been warm because it ca from the above ground where it had been in the sun all day? Was it going to get colder now?

It didn’t appear to be so.

Then… was the beast creating its own warmth? Perhaps with its Sunheart?

Whisker wanted to learn more, but for now, he had to leave this place. However, as he moved away from the tortoise, he quickly realized that the region he was in was still full of Yin aura that would certainly freeze him away.

As soon as he sensed that with his Spiritual sense, Whisker stopped imdiately and returned to the tortoise’s back.

He couldn’t be sure that the tortoise would keep its warmth throughout the night, but he could only hope it did.

anwhile, he could maybe try and find so answers regarding why the tortoise was so warm at the mont.
