Frostscar Wastes

With a thought, Yasuo set up several options for the chamber of time and space for the two clients to choose from next to the white door. Like this, he didn't need to be present for them to adjust the gravity level.

Regarding the hellish environment changes that couldn't be altered, clients had to rely on their physical body sheer strength and mental power. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called training, would it now?

As for the Library of Forbidden Arts, Yasuo did not need to take any action. The library itself consists of seven floors, each dependent on an individual's realm.

For example, the first floor allows individuals at the qi condensation and golden core cultivation realms to enter. Anyone attempting to ascend further is promptly warned and teleported to the base of the stairs.

After making sure Luke got the hang of it several more times, he teleported to earth with a thought and opened the door there; Yasuo didn't want his clients to see him in need of a door to get into some place that would appear weak.

Additionally, the door would vanish immediately after he passed through it, eliminating any concern about someone forcing his way into his hotel room and finding the door in its middle. 

'System said the world is weak, but is it truly weak for someone at the qi condensation realm?' Yasuo found that unbelievable, and he knew things weren't that simple.

From his understanding of the system, it wouldn't give him a shortcut to get stronger, and that wouldn't change with this quest; the rewards are healing his injuries and, most importantly, upgrading his facilities.

None of it was related to his personal strength!

But for Yasuo, that alone was tempting and could help increase his strength, as he would also gain several things from this world, not just the Frostbone Ashe.

Yasuo had already made up his mind, and with a thought, the miniature red door expanded until it transformed into a gate of icy light that illuminated the entire room.

The moment he felt that the door was ready for travel, he stepped into it without any hesitation.

Frostscar Wastes.

The Great Giant Empire.

As the name implies, Frostscar Wastes is a world where unruly cultivators are thrown to rot and die in this harsh environment. To make matters even worse for them, cultivators also had to deal with the giants ruling this deadly hellish place that only has winter all year long.

As a renowned giant territory where people were sent inside to meet their ends, the Great Giant Empire had an unfathomable heritage that spanned thousands of years. Even people who knew how to open the portal to such a world and send criminals inside never dared to entertain the thought of checking it out.

What everyone knew is that the Frostscar Wastes is a place of no return! And that alone is enough knowledge for them.

In the white forest, a pack of ice wolves lay asleep across a hill, bathing in a howling blizzard. They enjoyed the feeling of freshness rubbing through their bones. Since blizzards didn't come often, this was a perfect time for them to rest, and it was perfect nourishment for their bodies as it healed all their injuries.

Hum!

A red light suddenly shone on top of the hill, and a person in casual black martial arts attire with average looks stepped out of it.

It was Yasuo, and since he wasn't in the holy land, his appearance was the same as when he was on earth,' Now this is what I call a fresh start.'

Feeling the air bites past his skin into his bones with a chilling cold, Yasuo couldn't help but enjoy such pain for a brief moment before he operated his qi to create a faint barrier around himself.

It was unusual for qi condensation to operate qi at such a high level since they were mere beginners. However, for Yasuo, executing such a simple trick was no challenge; it was like drinking water.

Suddenly, a pack of frost wolves surrounded him from all directions. Their eyes were glowing blue, and their mouths were open, displaying sharp teeth.

Yasuo didn't panic and exhaled a wisp of qi tainted by his Soulrend Breath,' If they were cultivators, I would be dead by now, but good that it's just a bunch of bigger dogs.'

Whimp...Whimp....Whimp

The frost wolves didn't take two seconds before they felt the threat from the human that just appeared and whimpered while fleeing. They had met with many of these strong humans and knew they should run when feeling their power.

Yasuo ignored them and walked into the forest. He planned to cultivate for some time before exploring, lest he stumble upon someone he couldn't take on.

Underneath an old towering tree deep in the forest, a giant, bare-chested man profusely sweated as he focused all his attention on breaking through to the next realm.

A loud bang sounded as lighting struck the man in the middle of his skull, yet surprisingly, no blood was spilled, but the man's skull seemed to take all the damage like it was a gentle breeze brushing through his head.

'Good, very good,' Vethas laughed crazily as he got ready for the next two bolts of lightning.

Within moments, waves upon waves of dense spiritual energy flooded into his body.' This should be a walk in the park at my level.'

Boom! Bang!

In the next instant, thunderous booms reverberated throughout the forest as a couple of lightning bolts struck the giant's head in succession. Still, to the surprise of no one, it dealt no damage whatsoever, not even leaving a mark.

The four-meter-tall giant rose and struck the thick trunk of a tree behind him, creating a large crater in its center.

"Prepare for war," Vethas roared," we will attack in a few months."

Sitting inside a frozen tree trunk, a young man with closed eyes was surrounded by qi; although the amount wasn't astonishing and was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the giant of a man, it was still noticeable.

'Hmm, If I keep up this pace, I won't be going anywhere,' Yasuo thought. He had a calm expression but was a bit uneasy inside since he felt his speed of cultivation was way too slow and he needed resources as fast as possible to speed up the process.
