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

67: Chapter 67: The First Glimmer of the Star Core and the Reappearance of the White ShadowThe valley was deathly silent.

Sunlight pierced through the thin mist, which still carried the lingering, icy breath of the stars, illuminating a mess of a frozen world. The Cultivators in navy-blue robes had been turned into ice sculptures in various poses, their faces frozen with final moments of terror and indignation. The leading Golden Core Cultivator was covered by the thickest layer of gray-blue ice, looking like a hideous piece of amber; only his eyeballs could struggle to move in the extreme cold, revealing endless fear and disbelief.

Lin Mo’s chaos light cluster hovered in the air, rotating slowly. After absorbing a massive amount of mutated star miasma, its volume had shrunk by a circle, but it had become more solid and restrained. Gray-blue and dark gold patterns intertwined on its surface, emitting a heart-palpitating, ancient, and dangerous fluctuation. The preliminary Awakening of the nirvana star core brought powerful strength, but it also drained his already meager mental power.

Fatigue surged like a tide, but he couldn’t care about himself at this moment.

The light cluster flickered slightly, transmitting an anxious thought that swept across the valley, finally locking onto the area where the dense remnants of the mist miasma lay, where Su Muxue had fallen.

“Mu Xue...”

He forcibly activated the star core that had just stabilized, emitting a weak Perception—at this moment, his Perception seemed to carry a strange “nirvana” attribute, allowing him to more clearly perceive the boundary between life and deathly silence.

Found her!

Amidst the pile of rubble devastated by Sword Qi and palm force, Su Muxue lay there, her breath extremely weak, like a flickering candle in the wind. Her face was as pale as golden paper, and her mouth and clothes were covered in frozen blood. The Profound Yin Qi and Lingxiao Sword Intent swirling around her had almost completely dissipated; only the ice moon imprint on her brow and the faint sword patterns still stubbornly flickered with a dim light, protecting her last shred of heart-pulse.

Her injuries were severe! If she wasn’t treated in time, her life would be in danger!

Lin Mo was extremely anxious, and the light cluster immediately flew toward her.

However, the moment he approached—

Crack... Crackle... An extremely subtle yet crystal-clear sound of ice cracking came from the largest “ice sculpture”—the Golden Core Cultivator!

A tiny crack appeared on the gray-blue ice covering his body! Within the crack, a trace of extremely weak yet pure and heavy earthy-yellow Core Essence was struggling to surge, resisting the erosion of the Nirvana Star Power!

The Golden Core Cultivator’s eyeballs rolled wildly, revealing a sense of ruthlessness and madness! He was actually burning his natal Golden Core, attempting to forcibly break through the ice!

Although this process was extremely slow and would cause irreversible damage to him, once he escaped, it would be a catastrophe for the two who were currently at the end of their tether!

Lin Mo’s heart sank instantly.

His current state was terrible. The burst just now was already a stretch, and it was impossible to launch a second strike. Su Muxue was even closer to death.

They had to leave immediately!

His thoughts swept over the rift in the mountain. Behind the rift, the passage carved out by the Lingxiao Sword Qi leading to the unknown outside world was their only way to survive!

There was no time to hesitate!

Lin Mo’s light cluster landed abruptly beside Su Muxue, activating the weak power he had just recovered. He emitted gray-blue threads of Nirvana Star Power, carefully wrapping around Su Muxue’s cold body and slowly lifting her up.

This process was a huge burden for him, and the light cluster flickered violently as if it would collapse at any moment.

He carried Su Muxue, flying toward the mountain rift with difficulty.

Behind him, the sound of cracking ice became more and more frequent. More cracks appeared on the Golden Core Cultivator’s body, and a violent aura was accumulating under the ice!

Fast! Faster!

Lin Mo gave it his all.

Finally, they reached the rift. The rift was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass. Behind it was a gray, swirling spatial passage, emitting a weak Lingxiao Sword Intent and an uncertain sense of danger.

But right now, this was their only hope.

At the very last moment before Lin Mo was about to take Su Muxue into the rift—
