The Infinite Mystery

Qin Feng rested for an entire day before he once again arrived in front of the lake.

Right now, his spirit energy already has an icy nature. It was extremely cold. Qin Feng arrived in front of the lake because he wanted to find out the reason why the lake is so cold. The deeper he went, the colder the water became.

So, he concluded that the reason behind the mystery of this lake must be hidden at the depth of the lake.

"Puchi!"

Qin Feng once again jumped into the lake and directly went to the bottom in order to investigate. When he arrived at the bottom of the lake, he finally came to the front of the corpse. When he saw the corpse, Qin Feng was shocked.

This corpse was of a slender young man. If he stood up, he should be taller than Qin Feng. Although he was dead, he still exuded a terrifying aura.

Qin Feng was hundreds of feet away from him but he still felt palpitations. Qin Feng concluded that the man must also be an Immortal when he was still alive, and a very powerful one at that.

There was a long sword in the corpse's hand. This sword also looked to be an Immortal Level Weapon, much stronger than the sword in his possession that he obtained after arriving in this strange space.

Moreover, the sword was also emitting a very strong icy aura.

If Qin Feng had not refined the icy energy from the lake's water and if his spirit energy wouldn't have gained the icy nature, he would not have been able to withstand the sword's aura and come this near the corpse.

Qin Feng now has the opportunity to look at the face of the corpse from a close distance. It looks like he is only in his thirties.

But at this time, his face was covered with a strange grey substance. Not only the face but also the hands and neck, all exposed skin, covered with grey substance.

Qin Feng doesn't know why, when he saw the black substance, he felt cold in his bones, as if something terrible was going to happen. He also understood that no matter what, he shouldn't touch this strange substance.

Qin Feng slowly approached the corpse but at this moment, the long sword suddenly trembled as a shockwave appeared, spreading into the lake. The sword seemed to warn Qin Feng not to approach closer.

Qin Feng stopped and tried to use his strong spiritual sense to release his goodwill as much as possible. The sword was a very powerful Immortal Weapon, it has its own spirit. So, Qin Feng thought that he might be able to get closer to the corpse after showing the sword that he doesn't have any bad intentions.

Sure enough, after the long sword felt Qin Feng's goodwill, it slowly retracted its aura, allowing Qin Feng to slowly move forward.

When Qin Feng arrived in front of the corpse, he sensed an extremely cold aura radiating out from the corpse's abdomen. It was the source of icy energy. Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng saluted respectfully. It can be said that his life was saved by this corpse.

At this time, Qin Feng saw a strange piece of paper that was not wet even though it was at the depth of the icy lake. This piece of paper was being held by the corpse's other hand.

Seeing that the sword did not emit any fluctuations, Qin Feng bent down slowly and reached out his hand to touch the paper.

Qin Feng was paying attention to the mood of the sword. When Qin Feng's hand touched the paper, the long sword trembled slightly but there were no other fierce fluctuations.

Qin Feng then carefully removed the paper from the corpse's hand. Qin Feng was extremely cautious and did not dare to touch the grey substance on his body. Because he felt that those grey substances must have extremely horrific origins, and this Immortal was also likely to have fallen because of this black substance.

After taking the piece of paper into his hand, Qin Feng slowly stepped back a few steps, and carefully checked the piece of paper.

It was a map of someplace Qin Feng was not familiar with. He then noticed a few words on the back of the piece of paper.

"I, the Burning Ice Emperor, once swore to break the limit of this Universe and become a God. Then I'll clear those outsiders, bringing peace to this Universe once again. But who would have thought I'll fall even before I got the opportunity to see the Universe's expansion? It is really laughable. I, the strongest person in this Universe, actually fell even before I got the opportunity to strike a single attack on those outsiders."

"The opportunity to break the limit of this Universe was right in front of me. But I wasn't able to obtain the opportunity and failed. What a pity!"

The handwriting was very scribbled, but it reveals a sense of arrogance to the world.

Looking at the two lines of handwriting, Qin Feng repeated a few words, which seemed to be a kind of ridicule and taunt. At the same time, it was filled with arrogance.

What caught Qin Feng's eyes were the words 'Strongest In The Universe' and 'Become God by breaking the limit of the universe'.

How could that be?

There are three Immortal Cultivation Realms. Worldly Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm, and Ancient Immortal Realm.

The limit of the Universe is clearly the Great God Realm. From the aura of this person, it seems at his peak, he was an Ancient Immortal. Then why did he write such words?

Why did he say that he has to break the limit of the Universe in order to become a God?

What did he mean by the expansion of the Universe?

What did he mean by the words 'outsiders'?

After thinking for a while, Qin Feng shook his head. He couldn't get any answer so he planned to ask Ye Zhiqui. He has a gut feeling that this matter is related to some secret of this Universe that only Ye Zhiqui could answer him.

Anyway, this corpse seemed to be a respected figure when he was still alive. His aim was also very high. Qin Feng respected the spirit of this Immortal called Burning Ice Emperor.

Well, this icy energy in the water really had a burning effect. There is no doubt. This icy energy actually managed to injure badly that demonic beast.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng said in a low voice while looking at the corpse: "This place is filled with danger. I have taken the map from you, and if I managed to do the thing I came here to do, I'll definitely take you out and bury you."

The moment he said those words, the sword shuddered slightly, sending out a desolate wave. It was actually expressing a kind of nostalgia for its master.

Presumably, this cold sword has a profound affection for this master, otherwise, it wouldn't have been guarding the corpse for who knows how many years.

Suddenly, the Immortal's corpse started floating. Qin Feng saw the situation and knew that the sword understood his meaning, and actually agreed.

Qin Feng did not dare to reach out and touch the Burning Ice Emperor's corpse. With a big wave of his hand, he immediately put the Burning Ice Emperor's corpse into the Mysterious Space of the Infinity Symbol.

At this moment, the sword gently floated in front of Qin Feng. Qin Feng received a sense of gratitude from it, and at the same time, it hovered in front of Qin Feng in a manner as if it was saying that Qin Feng could touch it.

This sword has shown extreme trust in Qin Feng. And since it was saying that Qin Feng could touch it, there is a very high probability that Qin Feng can control it as well.

But Qin Feng didn't have any joy in his heart. He held the sword and could feel its loneliness.

"Relax, when we go out and bury the Burning Ice Emperor's body, I will find a perfect partner for you, a partner who can support each other in life and death."

No reaction came from the sword. It was as if the sword was not interested in any other master. After a few seconds, the sword again trembled and a wave of energy fluctuation appeared. The lake around Qin Feng slowly disappeared and was absorbed by the sword.

It turned out that this lake was actually created by the sword with the purpose to protect the Burning Ice Emperor's body from being destroyed.

This sword really deserves compliments and respect.

Carrying the sword behind him and distinguished the direction, Qin Feng once again started his journey. This place where the core of the Profound Star Continent exists is really mysterious. It is filled with all kinds of dangers and even many corpses of Immortals could be found here. It was as if an earth-shattering battle was fought at this place in the distant past that is impossible to track.
