Chapter 553: Ice Glacier Country Entrance

"It's a long story; let's find the entrance to the Glacier Kingdom first, and then we can talk."

As Xu Yang spoke, he abruptly tapped the center point of the map above his head, and soon, a surge of energy, rhythmically identical to the underwater ripples from earlier, emanated from it.

Little did they know, this unique rhythm was the special signal from the Law of Earth, used to awaken the entrance to the Glacier Kingdom.

"What's going on? Why was our reception signal transmitted twice?" Above the sea, the three envoys, rapidly descending towards their target area, immediately became wary.

"Could it be that this Xu Yang fellow actually broke free from our Golden Bell Seal?" The female envoy sneered, "Absolutely impossible! They can't even comprehend the Law of Earth. In other words, even if they truly obtained the lost tome, they couldn't possibly unravel the Golden Bell's mysteries in such a short time, unless they are true gods!"

The envoy's words were full of confidence. In fact, her judgment was not wrong, as Xu Yang had indeed surpassed the limits of their imagination. Not only had he mastered the supreme divine ability of "Sleeve Dimension," but he had also gained control over most of the tome's contents in such a short period.

"No. I'm still uneasy. You two go to the reception point first. I'll go check on the Golden Bell, just in case." The middle-aged male envoy said in a deep voice. He was thorough in his actions, immediately separating from the group and rapidly approaching Xu Yang's team's location.

Little did he know, this decision would be the biggest mistake of his life. Daring to provoke Xu Yang sealed his fate.

"Boss, it seems someone is coming!" Xu Yang's gaze sharpened. He sensed the aura of one of the three envoys and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Perfect timing. Let him witness what I've comprehended." With a shake of Xu Yang's palm, a pure golden energy halo quickly solidified. Then, under Xu Yang's manipulation, this halo rapidly expanded into a tangible, enclosed space, which he then propelled towards the approaching aura.

"Envoy, you arrived in such a hurry. I haven't even prepared a gift for you." Xu Yang's words already contained a certain degree of mental interference. The envoy, rushing and caught off guard, didn't notice on first sight and was directly ensnared by the pale golden space.

"How can this be!" The envoy was greatly alarmed, his usually calm demeanor replaced by a hint of panic.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yang's team swarmed forward, completely surrounding the envoy trapped within the Law of Earth.

"Heh heh, so you're the envoy? Quite bold, daring to scheme against our boss. Now it's time for you to face some consequences!" Long Kun, seeing the envoy for the first time, immediately launched into a barrage of sarcasm. The envoy's face flushed with anger, but he was helpless, sealed within the space, his struggles proving futile.

"Damn it, how did you master the Law of Earth? This is impossible!" The envoy glared at Xu Yang, his eyes bulging, demanding an explanation. But when he saw Xu Yang pull out the tome from his hand, he was once again stunned.

"I can't believe you truly comprehended the runes within the tome. A successor of the Sea God, comprehending the Law of Earth in such a short time!" Ling Yao, standing nearby, sneered, "There's a lot more you don't know. Now you have only one choice: submit to us and show us the entrance to the Glacier Kingdom, or you'll fall into eternal perdition!"

The envoy burst out laughing, "Do you really think a mere Earth Seal can trap me?"

*Rumble!* A powerful golden aura suddenly blazed around the envoy. Xu Yang and the others clearly saw the surrounding seal rapidly melting away in a very short time.

"What the heck, no way? Boss, your seal seems a bit unreliable. It's being melted so easily?" Xu Yang chuckled, "Don't panic. Since I've made my move against him, it's a foolproof plan. What is there to fear?"

*Boom!* With a muffled explosion, the seal indeed shattered. What was awkward was that Xu Yang made no move to mend it; instead, a new layer of seals immediately appeared, perfectly restoring all the outlines of the seals that had just broken!

"What! This, how can this be..." Xu Yang laughed heartily, "Sleeve Dimension, you should be familiar with that, right?"

Hearing those four words, the envoy before him fell into complete despair.

"You've even comprehended the supreme divine ability exclusive to the God of Earth? Who, exactly, are you?!"

Xu Yang's expression suddenly turned cold. "I never intended to be your enemy, but you three envoys have relentlessly pressed me, so don't blame me for resorting to drastic measures. I'll give you one last chance: either reveal the entrance to the Glacier Kingdom, or be eternally sealed within these countless layers of seals! With my Sleeve Dimension's blessing, you will be but a speck of dust in this vast ocean. No one else but me will ever be able to find you, and you'll never break free from my infinitely stacked seal blockade, becoming a solitary prisoner eternally sealed within! Furthermore, I want you to realize something: even if you don't tell me anything, I can still find the entrance with this map! The rhythm you just heard, I simulated that!"

Xu Yang waved his hand, and the map's outline reappeared, completely crushing the envoy's last shred of hope.

"Hmph, trying to make me betray the Glacier Kingdom? Dream on!"

The moment the envoy finished speaking, he rapidly shrank under Xu Yang's control, eventually being compressed into a mere speck of dust.

"My heavens, Boss, how did you do that? Where's the guy?"

Xu Yang chuckled, "That is the true power of Sleeve Dimension: it can stack and alter the forms of any energy. It's something I undoubtedly comprehended from the tome."

Shi Lingyun, with her intelligent and insightful mind, immediately looked enlightened. "So that's it! All those obscure and difficult-to-understand parts in the tome could be deciphered by the boss with a single move. It turns out the secret was hidden within Sleeve Dimension. For those of us at our cultivation level, it seems we are destined not to grasp such profound secret arts."

Xu Yang gave a wry smile and shook his head. "It's not quite like that. My comprehension of Sleeve Dimension actually has little to do with my own innate understanding. It's more thanks to my 'Heavenly Manifestation of Earthly Laws,' which I'd call a talent. It was under its inspiration that I inadvertently saw through the essence of the tome. Anyway, with this envoy's sudden disappearance, it will undoubtedly draw the attention of the other two. We should hurry to the reception area!"

Xu Yang waved his hand, and a powerful Sea God's Domain rapidly condensed around his body. Propelled by massive waves, the group swiftly advanced, reaching the reception point where the Glacier Kingdom was scheduled to arrive, even before the other two envoys.

"Boss, look! The entrance to the Glacier Kingdom has finally appeared!"
