This incident was an incredibly heavy blow to the entire Saint Emperor Domain. The complete and utter destruction of the spiritual medicines, some of which had grown for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, was especially devastating.
It was said that the Saint Emperor had been in a thundering rage, preparing to send men after the fleeing Ice and Snow Consort. But when he heard the news, he was so stunned he collapsed into his chair, speechless for a long time.
The average person couldn't possibly grasp the full extent of this blow to the Saint Emperor Lineage, but the Saint Emperor himself knew all too well.
Although their existing stock of refined elixirs was enough to last the entire Saint Emperor Lineage for several more centuries, what would happen after that? What would they use a few hundred years from now?
In cultivation through Absorption, to not advance is to regress!
