Looking at the Turtle Carrying Stele before them, the atmosphere on site was dead silent.
Only when the giant creature completely emerged from the water did everyone see its true appearance—
A head like a qilin, clad in scale armor, with natural cloud patterns on its turtle shell, exuding a mysterious Daoist Charm.
Because the stone carving was so lifelike, with details of hair and fur, it appeared almost indistinguishable from a living creature.
"That's not a turtle..."
"It's the Bixi!"
Shi Wenzhong exclaimed involuntarily.
The Bixi, also known as Baxia, is an Alien Beast from Ancient Times, said to carry Dragon Clan bloodlines, but went extinct a thousand years ago; nowadays, it's only seen in books as illustrations.
"Strange, there's no record of this in the sect's notes..."
Huo Wuya frowned slightly.
He lifted a pebble from the ground with his palm and flicked it at the stele. It met no resistance and passed through completely, with a plop into the lake.
As expected.
