"This stone sculpture can help someone achieve beyond the Blood Coagulation Realm?"

Lin Qi looked at the golden sculpture, his heart full of astonishment and surprise.

The Blood Coagulation Realm is a level that most cities find hard to reach. In fact, the Training Technique for the Blood Coagulation Realm is only possessed by the City Lord. Other factions likely don't even have fragments.

For this reason, he had been troubled about how to solve the subsequent cultivation issues. The only possibility lay in obtaining some trace of inheritance from the ruins controlled by Chasing Light City, which might allow players to explore a way into the Blood Coagulation Realm like the City Lord. After all, detailed information on the Blood Coagulation Realm simply doesn't exist—only a rough introduction.

It's hard to imagine that a golden sculpture could assist someone in achieving beyond the Blood Coagulation Realm.

At this moment, not only was Lin Qi shocked, but even Yino and Wu Zhuoqun from the Chasing Light City's Defense Corps looked incredulously at the golden sculpture that City Lord Diroya had taken out, their eyes filled with doubt and disbelief. It was something they heard for the first time in their lives.

For the Bone Forger Realm Martial Artists in the city, the Blood Coagulation Realm is a heavenly existence. Being able to enter the Blood Coagulation Realm in their lifetime might make them smile even in their dreams.

As for an existence above the Blood Coagulation Realm, though they know a little about them, it's an unattainable existence and a legendary level only those geniuses who enter a Domain City might reach.

It's hard to imagine that such a level could be achieved just with the aid of a golden sculpture.

Even if various geniuses were given the Training Technique for the Blood Coagulation Realm, very few would actually ascend to that realm, let alone an object like a golden sculpture which isn't even a training method yet can help someone achieve beyond the Blood Coagulation Realm.

However, Fan Sen is no ordinary person but a super genius from a Domain City, with strength rivaling the Blood Coagulation Realm. A figure of such stature has no need to deceive.

After all, for a genius like him, the future goal certainly isn't just stopping at the Blood Coagulation Realm.

"Fan Sen's younger brother speaks correctly," City Lord Diroya said with a smile. "This golden sculpture is not an ordinary golden sculpture but something unique to the Mist Mountain Region. It is also something that can only be used in our Mist Mountain Region, and it is the greatest treasure of our entire Mist Mountain Region."

"Hall Master Lin, you haven't been a Deputy City Lord for long, so it's understandable not to know," Fan Sen looked at the bewildered Lin Qi and explained with a smile. "Do you know why our area is called the Mist Mountain Region?"

"That I don't know." Lin Qi shook his head.

After he came to this world, although he investigated a lot of information, what he knew was only that this planet experienced massive changes after a great disaster, becoming entirely different from before.

As to why it was divided into various regions, the information he found explained it was mainly due to areas where monsters were extraordinarily active, which resulted in the division, allowing people within the regions to live relatively stable lives.

Why the Mist Mountain Region was called the Mist Mountain Region, he wasn't quite clear.

Fan Sen wasn't secretive and directly explained, "After our region formed, there were actually many names for it. It was only when a mountain range completely shrouded in mist was discovered within our region that outsiders started calling it the Mist Mountain Region. Over time, we also called it that."

"That Mist Mountain is the biggest treasure of our Mist Mountain Region because within it lies the prison of a civilization exceptionally powerful, even stronger than all our races combined. According to our findings, this civilization once gave birth to a demigod, an existence beyond worldly reason. For them, a star is merely a glass bead that can be crushed with one hand."

"The prison they left in the Mist Mountain houses unimaginable things for us. Any prisoner from there is an existence at the Blood Coagulation Realm and beyond."

"These prisoners, due to the passage of time, have all perished, but the prison itself is still operational. With a key, one can enter for exploration, and find quite a few good things from those prisoners, with this golden sculpture being that key."

"So, this golden sculpture is truly priceless." Lin Qi nodded and curiously asked, "But with such a priceless golden sculpture, is Star Tower City so willing to part with it?"

According to Fan Sen, the golden sculpture is a key, and the prisoners at the Blood Coagulation Realm and beyond in the prison are unimaginable treasures. Complete Training Techniques for the Blood Coagulation Realm and above might be left there.

Not to mention the prison itself was built by a civilization that birthed a demigod, possibly leaving behind things of even higher value than those prisoners.

Such a treasure makes it hard to imagine that Star Tower City is willing to hand it over. If they keep it themselves, how could they not thrive in the future?

"Admittedly, its value is very high," Diroya smiled, looking quite calm. "But this golden sculpture is not the only one in the Mist Mountain Region. Nearly each major city has one, with some having one or two, others several. Even many factions possess them. Star Tower City alone has three. Each year, when the prison can be explored, major cities and many factions, even those from beyond our region, send people to explore inside."

"Although the golden sculpture is a key, the gains during each exploration depend on one's ability, as there are so many factions entering, making the competition extremely fierce. Many die there every year. Fortunately, martial artists above the Blood Coagulation Realm cannot enter, keeping the struggle less intense, and even allowing cities like ours to send in people."
