After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Over the next few days, the ancestral priests set up an altar, and then the imperial blood essence was scattered, binding the Ice Clan.

At this moment, Chen Futu's vision blurred as he looked into the depths of the dark ocean, where ancient and massive ruins lay bound by chains, surrounded by turbulent currents and eddies that sent chills down his spine.

Chen Futu's gaze went even further, and he saw the back of a woman with long blue hair. She was like a blue butterfly dancing under a spotlight in the darkness, her dance was exquisite and aloof, and she was dressed lightly, revealing her arms and snowflake-patterned thighs. Her movements were sometimes as stiff as a doll.

This feeling is indescribable, as if traversing the long river of history, and sensing her loneliness and decay.

Just as Chen Futu was about to see her face, she suddenly turned around, and for a moment Chen Futu's mind went blank.

【warn! 】

[A devastating soul attack has been detected. The system has automatically blocked it!]

The system voice suddenly rang out, and then Chen Futu's almost extinguished will to spirit was forcibly pulled back.

"Boy, what's wrong with you?"

The ancestral priests by the altar looked at Chen Futu, who was panting heavily, in surprise.

Chen Futu stared at his hands, his back soaked with cold sweat. The feeling he had just experienced was terrifying, like an ant facing a god.

Who is that woman?

An ancient saint? A quasi-emperor? Or perhaps a great emperor!

Even those below the Saint King level, who were invincible, were as weak as a speck of dust before her, utterly without any possibility of resistance.

It was as if a single glance from her could obliterate everything.

Chen Futu took a deep breath to regulate his heart rate, and then told the ancestral priest what he had just seen.

Zuji's eyes widened, and he lunged forward to grab the person tightly, "You, you saw her!"

"Who?"

“I don’t know who she is, but there are records of her in our clan’s ancient records. Our ancestor once saw her, and then his will was almost extinguished and he perished. Before he died, our ancestor said that she was a woman with blue hair, and she was dancing. She was very beautiful, wasn’t she?”

“Yes.” Chen Futu nodded blankly.

"The Yuanzu said she might be an imperial corpse."

"emperor……"

Chen Futu was struck dumb, the words "Emperor's Corpse" making the hairs on his entire body stand on end.

No wonder it was so terrifying, but how could corpses dance? And how can those who are still alive be called corpses?

"Who knows? Maybe it's a remnant of the law. Are you alright, kid?" The ancestral priest leaned closer to examine him closely. Chen Futu said sheepishly, "What could possibly happen to me?"

"Is it really okay?"

"of course."

"That's strange. Back then, even when Yuanzu's cultivation was almost at the level of an ancient saint, he died after she glanced at him. Yet you're still alive and kicking. How odd!"

"Old Deng, what did you say! You're not happy that I'm still alive!"

Chen Futu angrily grabbed the hem of Zuji's robe, and the old man said with a grin, "I was just concerned about you."

"It better be so!"

Chen Futu glared at him irritably.

To be honest, if it weren't for the system protecting me, I would have been killed just now.

That woman is most likely a remnant of the laws.

Logically, when bound to the Ice Clan, one should see a suppressed being. For example, when bound to the Sand Sea last time, one could see the Sand Eye from a distance. This time, however, one saw the Emperor's Corpse, and the Emperor's Corpse was even sunk into the sea...

Therefore, there is a great secret hidden deep in the Onon Sea, if we could obtain the Emperor's corpse.

Ding!

Please stop having this dangerous idea.

"I'll just think about it."

Please respect yourself, host.

"Well, I don't want to think about it, but I have to say, that woman is really hot. Those arms, those legs, tsk tsk tsk."

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on binding with the Ice Clan. Your national fortune has been amplified. You are hereby issued a modified version of the Ice Clan's sacred text, "Frost Dragon Soars"]

"Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't this Hai Bodong's martial arts technique?"

[A modified version of the Frost Dragon Soaring, adapted for this martial arts world]

"Can I learn the Heavenly Tribulation Light? After all, I am a Dragon Emperor with bloodline transformed from the Supreme Bone."

[The host's comprehension is too weak. Triggering more anecdotes and more choices will increase the chance of obtaining a modified secret technique.]

Any interesting tidbits lately?

[An anecdote detected near the Ice Clan]

[Host's current cultivation level is insufficient to overcome this challenge. Please improve your cultivation level as soon as possible.]

The system's reply surprised Chen Futu. Now that even the Great Sage Zuji and the Saint King Dian Wei, plus himself, an invincible being below the Saint King, couldn't overcome it, it was most likely a legendary figure above the Ancient Sage level. He indeed couldn't defeat it, but the reward would definitely be very generous.

Later, I'll send my avatar to the Western Regions to obtain the complete puppet-making method from Mount Sumeru. Once I create an ancient saint puppet, this anecdote will be over.

Chen Futu and Zuji discussed it and decided to first clear the grassland and then send the army to pick up the Ice Tribe children.

In the following period, Chen Futu stayed in the Ice Tribe and sent Dian Wei and others to reinforce the battlefield. Ha Zhenzhen and Mu Deqiang also went, saying they wanted to test the authority of the people in each department to avoid losing their lives in vain.

As the days went by, Chen Futu would often ask Lao Deng for advice on ancestral worship and spiritual practice when he had free time. Lao Deng was quite particular and would answer all his questions. He would also often take Chen Futu fishing by the Onon Sea. The fish they caught were very strange; some of them had three heads and even mouths full of fangs.

This reminded Chen Futu of the countries that had lived comfortably in his previous life, where nuclear wastewater was being discharged.

Could it be that this martial arts world also has nuclear wastewater or something similar, or is the suppression by the Ice Clan related to this?

"Kid, don't let their ugly appearance fool you, these fish have really good meat and contain a lot of true energy."

The ancestral worship ceremony was not elaborate at all; they simply lit a fire to grill fish and ate it with relish.

Unfortunately, Chen Futu had no appetite at all. As a native of Earth, he was naturally averse to deformed creatures, so he would rather take meat from the system space to roast and drink some sugary drinks than eat this mutated thing.

Zuji also likes sugary drinks, chugging five or six bottles in one go. Chen Futu is really worried that he will get diabetes.

During this period, battle reports frequently came back from the grasslands. The eight tribes of the grasslands were powerless to resist the fierce attack of the Great Xia. With the help of Dian Wei, Li Yuanba and Lian Ni Chang, the entire war was one-sided. The brave warriors and fierce generals of each tribe either surrendered or were killed.

Besides the eight tribes of the grasslands, many tribes, large and small, surrendered voluntarily. Ha Zhenzhen and Mu Deqiang also persuaded many tribes to surrender.

The method of thoroughly cleaning and ploughing the grasslands yielded remarkable results within a month.

Chen Futu issued an order for the Great Xia cavalry to trample over every inch of the grassland. This battle would inevitably bring the territory of Beiwu into the Great Xia's domain.

"Your Majesty, it's ready."

After a month and a half, Wen Ruyu and Sun Simiao finally developed three perfect Rejuvenation Pills.

This is an elixir that can restore youth; it's roughly at the level of a sacred elixir. It increases lifespan to a certain extent, while its effect on appearance is enormous.
