Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

40: Chapter 40: The Difficult Journey of the Ice Coffin and the Ingenious Ideas of ChaosThe roar of the underground river, now heard in their ears, was no longer an eternal background noise, but a death-summoning countdown.

Nangong Xuan leaned against the cold rock wall, every breath bringing a sharp pain to his internal organs. Forcing his cultivation, clashing head-on with the Golden Core monster, and delivering the final decapitating blow had nearly shaken his newly stabilized Foundation again. Pale gold blood occasionally seeped from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away unobtrusively. His gaze, however, was fixed on that Ice Coffin emitting a grim chill, his brows knitted into a tight knot.

Moving it? Easier said than done!

Just pushing it a short distance from the Immortal Cave had already exhausted most of the remaining strength of him and Lin Mo. This profound ice was no ordinary object; it was the ultimate ice spontaneously condensed by the Profound Yin Jade Soul Body. It was incredibly heavy and carried a chill that could freeze the Divine Soul. Being near it for a long time would damage one’s Foundation, let alone transporting it over a long distance. In this rugged, complex, and peril-filled underground environment, carrying it was no different from walking with an iceberg that could explode at any moment; every step was a struggle.

But what if they left it behind?

The moment this thought surfaced, it was forcibly extinguished by Nangong Xuan. Emotionally, Su Muxue was entrusted to him by Liu Qingxuan, and he had personally promised to protect her. Rationally, her Profound Yin Jade Soul Body was of great importance and must not fall into the hands of that mysterious group. Morally, he, Nangong Xuan, could not do something as dishonorable as abandoning a companion.

”We must find a way...” His voice was raspy, carrying a trace of imperceptible anxiety. ”The Profound Yin Power has erupted, and the fluctuations are too strong. I’m afraid it has already attracted the attention of certain existences... The longer we stay, the greater the danger.”

Lin Mo’s chaos dao seed rotated slowly, its light slightly brighter than before, as it struggled to absorb the thin Spiritual Qi from the earth veins to recover. His consciousness swept over the Ice Coffin, also finding it troublesome.

Carrying it by brute force was definitely out. Nangong Xuan was heavily injured, and he himself was just an ”infant” with limited strength.

His mind raced, combining knowledge from his past life with his understanding of the chaos dao seed in this life, constantly deducing various possibilities.

Isolating the chill? That would require a continuous output of energy to counter it, consuming too much to be a long-term solution. Reducing the weight? That involved changing the essence of matter, which was far beyond his current Realm and understanding of the Dao of Chaos. Then... what about changing its interaction with the ground? A thought flashed through Lin Mo’s consciousness like lightning.

Friction! That was the main obstacle to moving a massive object. If he could greatly reduce the friction between the Ice Coffin and the ground... ”Senior,” Lin Mo’s thought transmitted over, carrying a hint of experimentation, ”perhaps... we don’t need to ’lift’ or ’push’ it.”

Nangong Xuan was startled. ”No lifting or pushing? How do we move it?”

”Let it ’slide’ on its own, or... ’float’,” Lin Mo explained. ”My power cannot directly move such a heavy object, but perhaps I can change the environment at its base.”

A flash of doubt crossed Nangong Xuan’s eyes, but he did not interrupt. He knew the Soul inside this infant’s body could not be judged by common logic.

Lin Mo said no more, concentrating his mind and fully activating the chaos dao seed. This time, he was not releasing energy outward, but focusing his will intensely, controlling an extremely thin strand of Chaos Qi to slowly permeate the small area where the bottom of the Ice Coffin met the rocky ground.

He didn’t try to shake the Ice Coffin, nor did he try to resist the chill of the profound ice. Instead, he performed an extremely delicate operation—analysis and assimilation.

The Dao of Chaos encompasses all things and transforms into all laws.
