Extreme Cold Lake

To open the Heaven-Connecting Path, he still needed the skin and flesh to reach Perfection, and the Five Viscera and Six Bowels to reach Perfection.

Chu Qing packed his things and decided to seek out the Three-legged Golden Toad.

Getting the golden toad, swallowing it, becoming Initiated in the Golden Toad Swallowing Heaven Method, and swiftly completing the Five Viscera and Six Bowels—that was the kingly path.

He crossed mountains and forded rivers.

Chu Qing smiled but said nothing.

The cloaked people exchanged glances and secretly raised their guard.

Some even stirred with the urge to attack.
