Alex's instinct told him that the center of the whole maze-like cave structure was only a few minutes' walk away. So, despite the cold, and despite the time he had spent on learning the Dao, he had to continue.
He had to see what was at the center as he would never let go of the regret if he ever stopped out here.
"Congratulations on learning a new Dao," Godslayer said. "I thought the next few days after that woman's spirit died would have been normal, but nothing is ever normal with you."
"Thank you for the compliment," Alex said with a chuckle in his voice. "You weren't awake before?"
"I was, but I didn't bother checking what was happening outside," Godslayer said. "Are you in the cave?"
"Yes," Alex said. "I'm about to reach the center of the Yin cave. It is so damn cold though. I had assumed learning about Yin would've removed the coldness but it barely made it bearable."
