Sikong Yan stood up, slightly shaking his head, then looked around at the dense cluster of corpses, his brows nearly knotted together.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly seemed to realize: "I understand now! These corpses should be those who failed to break through after taking the secret medicine over the years!"
Zhou Qing was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
He, of course, knew what this meant.
Currently, the Holy Martial Dynasty ostensibly has seventeen Spirit Severing Realm experts, but these people are the lucky ones who survived and broke through among dozens of veteran geniuses who took the secret medicine together.
What's even more alarming is that this is only the number on the surface.
The batches that were completely annihilated with no success were likely intentionally buried in the dust of history.
And these before them...
Zhou Qing's gaze swept across the entire Earth Palace, roughly estimating at least two thousand corpses!
