“Bang!”

The portly man, Zhong Yue, approached an icy human sculpture and struck it with his palm.

“Crack crack crack!”

The thick ice crystal did not shatter, but instead, the body of the frozen Chi Dragon Hall Disciple inside revealed cracks on its surface, breaking apart like porcelain.

“Eerie… these Chi Dragon Hall disciples had already been drained of their life force before being entombed in ice, leaving behind nothing but empty husks.”

Zhong Yue clicked his tongue, realizing that the disciples inside the sculptures had long been dead, the ice merely cocooning their flesh.

In this Chi Dragon Hall, there must be thousands of disciples, all of whom had died with their gazes fixated towards the hall’s center, their faces frozen in an expression of despair and unwillingness.

“Let’s go… take a look over there.”

Bai Yunhe spoke in a somber tone, leading the way to the center of the Chi Dragon Hall, with Wind Sun Moon and the others following suit.

Su Changkong followed behind, his gaze sweeping around, trying to detect any presence of Innate Qi within the hall, but to no avail.

The Chi Dragon Hall was utterly lifeless, a dead city, with even the spiritual energy being exceedingly scarce. Such a place did not meet the conditions for the birth of Innate Qi, so how had those martial artists obtained Innate Qi at Snow Abyss Mountain?

Su Changkong was momentarily puzzled.

The group made their way toward the center of the Chi Dragon Hall, passing ice sculptures shaped like people.

Upon reaching the center of the Chi Dragon Hall, they were quite shocked by the scene before them.

At the very center of the hall was a plaza, where a Chi Dragon made of ice crystals coiled, hornless, its body curled into a coil, but it must be a hundred meters long!

Sitting cross-legged atop the dragon’s head was a man.

The man was tall with sword-like brows and starry eyes, dressed in a luxurious robe embroidered with Chi Dragons, emanating the dignity of a superior being, as if naturally meant to be above all, a dragon among men!

The man sat cross-legged, head raised to the sky, his eyes filled with reluctance, and his face showed a tinge of regret and resignation.

Around the dragon were also frozen figures sitting cross-legged, thirty to forty in number, dressed differently from the disciples outside. Their robes were embroidered with more dragons, signifying they were likely the elders of the Chi Dragon Hall.

“That man must be Han Chi, the once hall master of the Chi Dragon Hall.”@@novelbin@@

Everyone recognized the man seated on the head of the ice dragon as Han Chi, the former ruler of the Chi Dragon Hall.

Two to three thousand years ago, this Han Chi was a top-notch expert of the Great Flame Empire, awakened twelve Heavenly Pulses, achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi towards the Yuan, and was invincible. However, he too faced setbacks and had to retreat here, ultimately dying while meditating.

“It is said Han Chi retired to achieve a breakthrough and make a powerful comeback. It seems he failed, and his elders and disciples were buried with him.”

Bai Yunhe murmured to himself; this Chi Dragon Hall, once far more prosperous and powerful than the East Cloud Sect, had finally faded into the dust of history.

“Hm?”

Beyond their emotions, they were shocked.

“Thud! Thud, thud!”

They heard faint heartbeats, emanating from the body of Han Chi, seated cross-legged.

“This… Is Han Chi still alive?”

An East Cloud Sect martial artist in gray couldn’t help being startled; it seemed impossible for someone to live for two or three thousand years!

The place fell silent for a moment, except for the weak pulsing from Han Chi’s heart.

“Hmph! If you’re dead, be thoroughly dead!”

Zhong Yue could no longer contain himself; he huffed coldly, took a deep breath, and then exhaled sharply.

“Snap!”

A blast of air shot forth, striking Han Chi’s body, which exploded into pieces amidst the blasting noise. His blood had long since dried up, his body as fragile as an ice cube.

“This guy… has little respect for ancestors.”

The scene made East Cloud Sect martial artists frown; Han Chi was a predecessor who had gone far in the ways of martial arts, and Zhong Yue, the corpulent man, showed no reverence, instantly destroying his body so not even a full corpse remained.

But everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Han Chi had long passed away, his corpse decayed to fragility, breaking at the slightest touch.

“What is that?”

Hong Xiang’s gaze was fixated on an object that flew out from the shattered corpse.

It was a crystal the size of a thumb tip, a transparent ice-blue, resembling a dazzling diamond. It was small but made hearts race with an innate desire to possess it!

Instead of falling to the ground, it was upheld by an invisible force, hovering in mid-air.

“Could this be… a Divine Seed!”

Bai Yunhe stared at the ice-blue crystal stone; an idea struck him, his pupils constricting as he uttered a term!

“Divine Seed? Is this a Divine Seed?”

Even Wind Sun Moon, the man with a dark red bone mask, showed a significant emotional fluctuation, his eyes glued to the crystal stone, his breathing quickening.

Divine Seeds, rare treasures sought after in the world!

The path of martial arts is composed of Body Refinement, Qi and Blood, Innate.

Attaining the Innate realm means being among the elite one in a million martial artists, viewed as top experts capable of standing against thousands!

Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi towards the Yuan! This is the pinnacle of the Innate Realm!
