The belly of the Xuanwu Ice Mountain was hollow as well.
A colossal Blood Pine grew here, second only in size to the Sky-reaching Tree, standing at a height of one hundred and sixty zhang.
However, the tree was in a state of icebound dormancy, sealed within a massive block of cold ice.
Yet this Blood Pine was still brimming with life, its bark and leaves a deep, blood-red hue.
At the very top of the ice, lay the "Xuanwu Snake Turtle."
It possessed a massive turtle body that was fifty zhang long and thirty zhang wide, along with a snake tail of the same length.
The entire body lay prone atop the huge block of ice, its eyes tightly closed as if it had fallen into a deep slumber.
However, its snake tail kept swaying incessantly.
When Chu Xisheng looked closely, he noticed that a snakehead had grown at the tip of the tail.
It vigilantly scanned its surroundings and periodically flicked its tongue in and out.
