The ancient bronze gate slowly opened, and a wondrous, radiant scene entered Meng Qi's eyes.
An ice sheet formed the sky, snow piled up into the earth, and crystal-clear ice crystals swirled around the vortex, reflecting light and bringing forth a resplendent scene of myriad colors that defied description.
Between heaven and earth stood enormous ice pillars, transparent and spotless, shining with dazzling colors. Sealed within them were all kinds of items, including Thunder Pool Goldstone, Sun God Stone, and materials of various grades. They looked like the sect's treasury, accumulated by Zhixu Mountain over countless ages.
Before Meng Qi had time to examine them closely, his gaze was already drawn to the ancient, weathered ice wall deep within this frozen world.
It stood there, separating the inside from the outside. Even the sky was split into two layers, while its left and right sides stretched without end, all the way to the edge of the universe. To advance any farther, one had to break through it. There was no possibility of going around it!
His Spiritual Sense reached out and spread across the area. Meng Qi's gaze grew deep, like a bottomless abyss that could not be seen through, yet whose surface reflected flying geese and drifting clouds.
At that moment, every subtle detail of the ice wall was laid bare beneath his discerning gaze, with nowhere to hide.
With a boom, the ancient ice wall faded away, revealing its true form: an ancient universe in which a single law was prominent. It seemed connected to the Great Dao, causing all Dao and virtue, laws and principles, to materialize completely and condense into countless ice crystals. Those ice crystals then formed the wall of stagnation that had endured for all eternity.
