Once everyone had stored their fragments safely within their respective spatial tools, Lin Mu gathered the group's attention again.
"We need to understand how this happened," he said seriously. "A Greater Ice Elemental appearing here is no small matter. This place should not have the conditions necessary to form one naturally."
Daoist Chu furrowed his brow. "You are right. To summon or contain such a being, one would need an Immortal Tool capable of holding massive elemental energy. Something at least on the Transcendent Level."
"And such an artifact would be worth more than entire sects," Cattaleya added. "I doubt even the Ephemera Sect has something like that lying around."
Lin Mu agreed. The Ephemera Sect was dangerous, yes, but they were not wealthy enough to squander a Transcendent-grade vessel on a mere elemental experiment.
"No," Lin Mu said slowly, "this elemental was not brought here. It was created here."
