Appearance

…

Fifteen minutes earlier, in the center of the frozen abyss, a massive golden ship soared high in the sky.

Ten men were flying in front of the ship.

It had only been a few minutes since they arrived here, and everyone had gathered in the sky while two elders remained on the ship. Thousands of people were at the edge, gazing at the suspended cocoon in the abyss.

The elders furrowed their brows, showing concern.

"It seems to be a cocoon. It was indeed something making that noise," one of the elders said.

"How can it be? I don't sense a bit of life in that cocoon. It's like an empty shell," another elder commented.

"No, there is definitely something inside, and we will soon find out what it is," the leader of the sacred land said seriously.

'Crack'

'Crack'

Sounds of the cocoon cracking occurred from time to time as everyone observed solemnly.

"It's about to break. Activate the ship's maximum protection mode; we don't know what will come out of that thing. It's better to be prepared, and don't let your guard down."

All the elders grabbed their weapons and waited for the cocoon to break on its own.

"Leader, should we attack that thing before it is born? It could be completely dangerous for our continent. If it's some prehistoric being that was sealed, there must be a reason for it to be born only now," Elder Xu suggested. After realizing that they might not have the opportunity to do so easily once the being emerged from the cocoon.

"I thought about that, but everything is very strange. Look at the cocoon; it's floating without any Qi. It's a different type of energy emanating from it."

"We don't know if the creature is truly hostile, and besides, it seems to have just been born. So, I don't think it will be powerful enough to break through the ship's protection instantly."

"If that doesn't happen, with the ship's teleportation, we can all escape quickly."

"Above all, I want to know the secrets of the frozen abyss that no one has known for millions of years. What kind of being will emerge from this cocoon?" The leader said he was slightly nervous and a bit excited.

'Tsk, his true reason is just because he's curious about that cocoon,' all the elders thought.

And after fifteen minutes, they finally saw that the cocoon was completely cracked.

"Get ready; it's breaking," Elder Xu said while holding his sword.

'Crack'

Then the cocoon slowly shattered. Everyone on the ship and outside watched attentively, but what appeared in front of them was not what they were expecting.

That being fell to the ground, lightly transforming everything into ice.

From inside the cocoon emerged a…

"A human!?" Li Yuemei's father said it's incredulously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gaze directed towards him.

The one who emerged from the cocoon looked directly in their direction, even though they were at a great distance.

At that moment, everyone perfectly saw the body of the one who came out of the cocoon.

Everyone who looked let out a deep sigh. Those serious and worried faces about what would come out of the cocoon suddenly disappeared.

In front of them stood a terrifying being.

But not as they thought it would be.

The being was simply the most beautiful thing they had ever seen in their lives.

It was a young man who appeared to be eighteen, standing over six feet tall.

He was completely naked, his body seemed as if it were sculpted by gods, his muscles perfectly placed with no trace of fat—neither slim nor overly defined.

His skin was extremely white and pale, without any imperfections. His face was utterly divine, with lips slightly reddish but not feminine, a perfect nose, and a thin yet defined face.

His hair was completely white, with a mysterious charm. His extremely light blue eyes gave off a surreal beauty.

But what drew everyone's attention to his face was an incredible snowflake mark that was utterly beautiful on his forehead.

In short, the young man was the definition of handsome—extremely handsome.

While everyone was paralyzed, gazing at his beauty, suddenly, all the pieces of the cocoon on the ground flew towards the young man and quickly transformed into something like an ice armor, concealing his perfect body like an ice garment.

At that moment, the sect leader regained his senses and quickly spoke to the elders telepathically.

'Wake up, everyone. He's looking at us and seems to hear us. We don't know his intention, stay on guard.'

'I don't feel any kind of life energy in his body. It's as if he is no longer alive, and I don't sense a hint of cultivation either,' Elder Xu said, finding it strange, his brows furrowed.

Soon, everyone composed themselves, continuing to gaze solemnly at the young man's face.

Unlike the elders, a discussion began on the ship after everyone saw that what came out of the cocoon was just a handsome young man.

"So, that's it? I thought it was a monster, but it's just a boy."

"He's not just a boy. Look at him; he is much more beautiful than Princess Li Yuemei; even though she is considered the most beautiful person in the southern continent, she can't be compared to that young man," a girl said, completely infatuated.

Everyone couldn't take their eyes off the young man, but with everyone looking, the young man simply disappeared.

"What?"

"Where did he go?"

Exclamations were heard, and soon everyone felt a freezing sensation, and their faces that had become calm returned to being extremely serious as they used their Qi to defend against the cold.

Outside the ship in the sky, a few meters from the elders, the young man suddenly appeared, bringing with him an intense, icy aura.

The elders did not see or feel how he arrived, but soon they all aimed their weapons at the young man.

Then a low, cold, and emotionless voice sounded.

"Where is the Dream Tower?"
