The ancient ape stood impressively tall, its fur snow-white and glistening. Meditating with eyes closed, it was encased in black ice, lifelike as if harmonized with the great Dao, appearing to still possess life.
In its past years, this ancient ape had roamed the world with arrogance, looking down upon all, capable of withstanding even the Sacred Lands. Yet, it ultimately sat in silence within the black ice, unable to escape death, passing away suddenly.
The ancient well, sealed by black ice, was unfathomably deep, and wisps of Dragon Qi continuously overflowed from it. The group pondered for a moment, hesitating whether to remove the black ice.
Ye Fan said, "We cannot enter from here. The old ape has sealed this place. With its world-shattering powers of the past, it likely has some contingency."
