"Ah!"

Gu Xi, lying on the coffin lid, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and cried out.

"Full speed ahead!"

Once he regained his senses, Gu Xi slapped the coffin lid heavily, urging the Evil Coffin to find a way to increase its speed even further.

Gu Xi had already realized what had just happened.

The Death Incarnation had fallen in battle.

When they first crashed into the wedding procession, Gu Xi noticed that the groom wasn't particularly strong.

If Gu Xi wasn't in such a hurry, he could have stayed behind, waiting for the Death Incarnation to kill the groom before leaving.

Yet, not long after he rushed out, the Death Incarnation fell in battle.

If it wasn't for someone else's intervention, Gu Xi wouldn't believe it no matter what.

Gu Xi had just leveled up, and his Death Incarnation was now at Level 12, standing at the pinnacle of power in this world.

Coupled with the traits of the Death Incarnation, it wouldn't have been possible for anything other than a powerful army or soldiers to force the Death Incarnation into this situation.

The death of the Death Incarnation served as a reminder to Gu Xi of the enemy's strength.

Understanding this, Gu Xi didn't even look back to check the situation behind him. He just urged the Evil Coffin to accelerate even more.

The Evil Coffin's speed had actually reached its limit, but under Gu Xi's demands, it began to take unconventional routes, playing tricks.

For example, what to do when seeing a snow crack on the ice?

Normally, one would detour, but now, ignoring it, the Evil Coffin accelerated and jumped right over it.

Or, take a small hill, where the Evil Coffin would have detoured before; now, it dashed straight up, enjoying the sensation of flight.

Running in as straight a line as possible allowed Gu Xi to quickly rush out of this snowy field and discover the distant Scattered Immortal Garden.

Although he hadn't reached it yet, the changing scenery assured Gu Xi he was heading in the right direction.

Before him was a forest located in the heart of the snowy land, with trees transformed into purple crystals.

Upon entering the forest, the outside wind and snow could no longer blow in, and the temperature inside noticeably rose.

Within the forest, Gu Xi saw many wild animals similarly affected, from deer with purple crystal antlers to purple rabbits and beetles resembling ice sculptures.

There were also flowers adorned with purple crystals along the road, and grasses with purple dewdrops. Entering this forest gave Gu Xi the sensation of stepping into another world.

"Don't linger in the woods; you can't withstand its influence. Hurry in."

Gu Xi was still observing the forest when a voice echoed from deeper within.

Startled, Gu Xi realized it was the Chaoyang Radiance Guild heroes stationed there.

Immediately, he slapped the coffin lid, heading toward the voice.

After circling some already crystallized trees ahead, Gu Xi's eyes lit up upon seeing a hidden city within the forest.

The city ahead was imbued with the style of an Eastern emperor's tomb.

At the forest's center stood a forty-meter-tall massive mound of Sealed Soil.

All the city buildings were constructed around this mound.

Only near the mound had everything maintained its original color, unaffected by the purple crystals.

Seeing the situation, Gu Xi deduced that the forest's purple crystallization was caused by a power seeping up from beneath the ground.

Long-term activity here would certainly taint one with this power, resulting in transformation into the crystallized monsters outside.

Only within this Sealed Soil's range was it safe, shielding from the overflow's influence.

Yet, it seemed the city's area was not particularly large.

The mound's protection extended only a thousand meters beyond its perimeter.

Though the mound covered a substantial area, slightly expanding the safe zone, in comparison, the usable land within the city wasn't plentiful.

The city's buildings were primarily clustered in the eastern and southern regions.

Various styles of architecture amassed here.

Gu Xi entered from the western side of the mound, where unremarkable buildings were out shadowed by fields planted with strange wheat.

This wheat, resembling carnivorous plants, emitted a special scent before maturation to attract pests.

Any pest touching this wheat would be trapped by secreted mucus, becoming the plant's nourishment.

Easily admiring such wheat, Gu Xi felt obliged.

Whoever created it was certainly a person of great capability.

Not only did it solve the fertilizer issue, but it also addressed pest control. With water alone, mass cultivation was feasible, freeing concerns over unsuitable growing conditions.

This environment greatly appealed to Gu Xi, prompting him to contemplate acquiring seeds to plant back in Yalidu City.

Just then, the earlier voice sounded again.

"Don't just stand there; come to the very south of the Sealed Soil."

Gu Xi was reminded of his task and promptly slapped the coffin lid, directing the Evil Coffin southward.

En route, Gu Xi continuously assessed the mound of Sealed Soil before him.

Ancient burial sites varied, but above ground, they shared unified styles—stacked as high and sharp as possible, differing mainly in materials and external decoration.

This mound resembled a dirt-formed pyramid, maintaining an Oriental tomb's style, devoid of any grass.

All the dirt was tightly packed, resisting any significant impact from wind or rain.

This led Gu Xi to ponder who might lie beneath this grand mound.

To build such a vast mound, the buried must at least be of marquis stature or higher.

"Comrade, over here."

Before Gu Xi could determine the mound's details, the Evil Coffin had already reached the very south of the Sealed Soil.

This was the Scattered Immortal Garden's Main City District. Upon entering, he saw a woman in a blue gauze dress waving at him.

The woman had a longsword strapped to her back, as tall as herself. As she waved, Gu Xi noticed gloves made of Silver Thread on her hands.

"Are you with the transportation unit? I'm Shu Daiyi, a Level 5 Death Knight and an official member of the Sun Knight Order under the Chaoyang Radiance Guild.

Let me ask again, are you a player from the transportation unit?"
