In the shadows, sunlight couldn't reach, and the temperature naturally dropped significantly.
Gu Sheng turned to the two, asking with concern, "How are you feeling? Can you hold on?"
Upon hearing this, the two nodded repeatedly.
"Brother Sheng, we can hold on."
"Good, let's move a bit quicker. Once we climb there, the sunlight will reach us."
Looking in the direction Gu Sheng was pointing, the two nodded continuously.
The three of them quickened their pace and finally returned to the sunlight.
By then, they had reached a higher place, with the rocky walls growing steeper and the path increasingly difficult to navigate.
Gu Sheng glanced at the horizon and realized time was of the essence. He hurriedly led the two forward.
Through their relentless effort, they finally reached the summit.
At that moment, standing atop the mountain, they truly felt the warmth of the sun.
Here, without relying on their own cultivation for protection, the cold air was compelled to bypass them.
