"Hmm."
Qi Zhou nodded.
He looked around... In this eerie place, where would you find accommodation? It was all just so outdated nutrition pods from decades ago.
Yet for him, that was enough.
Qi Zhou casually chose a nutrition pod and lifted the pod door.
Before stepping in, he suddenly recalled sothing.
"Han Dang, why didn’t I see Zhu Wang and Jing Shan Yan when I entered the Frozen Lake?"
Han Dang, with hands tucked in his sleeves, smiled and asked from not far away: "Why, does Brother Qi wish to see them?"
"Not really."
Qi Zhou thought for a mont, realizing he was now in the Green Royal Realm; thus, the domain master Jing Shan Yan must be here.
This place is full of unsavory characters.
I should focus on cultivation and hurry to catch those breakthroughs.
...
...
Qi Zhou entered a state of "pretend slumber."
Though his eyes were closed, seemingly scattered in spiritual power, and his body full of vulnerabilities... contrary to appearance, it wasn’t so.
The cultivation he engaged in wasn’t true imrsion in self-forgetfulness.
A slightest stir from the outside world would be sensed instantly, and he’d respond promptly—
In the Green Royal Realm, those weak Transcendents could concentrate wholeheartedly on healing.
Because their fates, life or death, were in Han Dang’s hands.
Coming to the Frozen Lake ant abandoning dignity and sacrificing everything in pursuit of elusive hope.
But Qi Zhou was different from these people.
He feared Han Dang’s betrayal or sudden murderous intent from the Green Royal Realm... even at the Frozen Lake, he trusted no one, keeping his fate firmly in his own hands.
Outside the nutrition pod, Han Dang watched as Qi Zhou ’slept’.
He did not act, but stood silently for a few minutes before slowly leaving... the Green Royal Realm, with over a hundred nutrition pods, was diving, the domain like a great fish drilling into the Frozen Lake, desperately heading towards the Earth’s core.
Most of the ti, the ’living conditions’ within this domain were terrible.
Only where people resided would there be slight ’optimization.’
With Han Dang’s departure, these nutrition pods were shrouded in darkness.
Many years ago, during Changye’s ’Star Plan,’ he certainly didn’t expect that on so day years later, it would truly be carried out... by a group of desperados, used to fight against himself.
...
...
Han Dang hadn’t actually gone far.
He rely walked to the end of the Green Royal Realm; if this domain was indeed a giant fish, then the place Han Dang had now arrived at was the fish’s head.
In descent, the fish’s head faced downward.
This was the deepest point of the Green Royal Realm.
Boundless darkness, sheer blackness.
Here, the sound of dripping blood fell without a trace, stirring no echo in the hundred-ter icy abyss of the Frozen Lake.
The domain under Han Dang’s feet spread once more.
This ti, his True Word barely expanded a bit before connecting with the boundless darkness... as if this darkness was inherently part of his domain.
In front of him stretched several mystical chains.
At the end of the Green Royal Realm lay a prison.
The mystical chains stretched from the depths of unending darkness, their length unknown, swaying penetrated through a gaunt body everywhere, firmly locking it in the prison.
Han Dang sat cross-legged.
He looked at the wilting figure before him and sincerely said: "Senior Jing... I’m back. Have you considered it this ti?"
As his words fell.
Han Dang lifted his hand, a faint fla sparking to life.
The fla illuminated the haggard face of the gaunt old man in the prison, his hair whiter than withered snow, spirit utterly collapsed, thirty years of imprisonnt within the Snow Cage made him look frail, nothing like a Titled Level Transcendent.
He was weak to the extre.
The culprit behind all this... was those densely embedded ’Heavenly Sheath Fragnts’ piercing him.
Beneath his open black prisoner garb, nearly a hundred thin stone sword fragnts pierced through his flesh, embedded in his bones, each Heavenly Sheath Fragnt dispersing his Extraordinary Essence...
A Titled locked within his own domain.
It was an unthinkable occurrence.
Yet... it was happening in reality.
"..."
Jing Shan Yan’s dry lips moved slightly but ultimately uttered no word.
"Seems you need more ti to think about it."
Han Dang smiled and said: "No problem, we have ti... I will accompany you down this final stretch."
He reached out a hand, opening his garnt...
An even more shocking scene unfolded.
Previously, Qi Zhou only witnessed the Heavenly Sheath Fragnts stored within Han Dang’s True Word domain; he overlooked one thing... how did Han Dang perfectly extract them?
As the thin garnt was unbuttoned.
A dense sound of ’whoosh’ erged.
Countless writhing ’flesh’ awakened—
Within Han Dang’s skin were neatly arranged thousands of holes, now like nurous eyeballs, with those Heavenly Sheath Fragnts deeply embedded within, only a small end remaining, like nimble swiveling pupils.
Madness.
This was sothing only a lunatic would do—using the flesh as a vessel to harbor stone sword fragnts!
"Gurgle."
Han Dang extended a finger, casually pulling out a thin fragnt!
Even though this scene had been witnessed many tis.
