Qing'er did not understand at all and asked, "Is she very sleepy? How did she suddenly fall asleep like that?"
"You can think of it as entering a meditative trance, or hibernating."
Tong Yan explained, "She was wounded by the Blazing Sun Banner. That's why she entered this state."
Jing Jiu glanced at them, reminding them to keep their voices down and not wake her.
He and Tong Yan were the Human Race's masters of the Way of Go most skilled at calculation. During their earlier silence, they had been observing, analyzing, and calculating.
In the end, they had concluded that Snow Ji had fallen into a deep sleep.
Qing'er was very surprised, wondering how this being could have been gravely wounded by the Blazing Sun Banner.
Compared with the Netherworld, the Snow Nation was the Human Race's greatest and truest threat. This was a fact everyone knew. But ordinary people felt only fear toward that world of ice and snow, without understanding the real reason. Only the powerful figures of the cultivation world and Heavenly Treasure true spirits like her understood that the Snow Nation Queen was the source of all that fear.
The Snow Nation Queen was the highest-order intelligent life on the Chaotian Continent. Even ancient divine beasts like the Qilin ranked beneath her. She was an invincible existence bordering on myth.
By all ordinary reasoning, even if the Blazing Sun Banner possessed the might of a Heaven-Connecting Realm powerhouse, it could not have wounded her.
"If that being had come, she naturally wouldn't have been hurt. But she's only that being's daughter."
Tong Yan looked at Snow Ji, his gaze somewhat complicated, and said, "A bloodline of such a high order has an incomparably long lifespan. Twenty years is too short. She's still only a child."
