Background

Murong Taxue was raised and trained by Abbess Fahua at Proud Snow Peak, whose harsh teachings demanded absolute purity and unwavering cultivation. She became one of the Azure Sun Sacred Sect’s Four Heavenly Kings and cultivated the Ice Soul Proud Cold Art, establishing herself among the North Divine Domain’s foremost young experts. 481 507 540

She emerged from seclusion for the Myriad Immortals Assembly as an Eighth-Rank Martial King. Her appearance in a white pillar of light immediately silenced the gathering, while her ethereal bearing and cultivation made her a central figure of the event. 481

During the struggle in the Myriad Immortals River, Murong Taxue was poisoned by the Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion. Lu Changsheng saved her and later used Yin-Yang Fiendish Thunder to detoxify the lingering poison. Their relationship began amid the aftermath of this incident, despite Murong Taxue’s initial anger, humiliation, and conflict between her pride and her life debt to him. 492 494

Abbess Fahua reacted furiously when Murong Taxue’s relationship with Lu Changsheng became known. To permit their marriage, Fahua demanded that he reach the Martial Venerable Realm within a year, defeat the successors of the other three great Sacred Sects, and obtain the Qilin Saint Medicine from the Ancient Ruins Forbidden Land. 509

After following Lu Changsheng to the Southern Saint Domain, Murong Taxue endured captivity and repeated injuries but continued traveling with the group through the sea regions and the Minggu Divine Temple. Her encounter with Elder Bing Xuan awakened her previously dormant Vast Cold Immortal Body and made her the Ice God Clan’s lower-realm inheritor. 657 746

Appearance

Murong Taxue is usually dressed in immaculate white robes and carries herself with a cold, otherworldly elegance. Her presence is associated with snow, moonlight, and ice; before receiving the Ice God Clan inheritance, she had long black hair secured with a simple white jade hairpin. 481 532

• Fair, almost translucent skin and refined features described as cold and pure as snow. 481
• Clear, ice-blue eyes that remain calm even under hostile attention. 535
• Carries the Moonlight Sword, usually at her waist. 532
• After inheriting the Ice God Clan legacy, her hair becomes silver-white and an ice-lotus mark appears between her brows. 747
• Wears the crimson-gold Golden Crow Cloud-Perching Cloak in extreme cold, its warmth complementing her moon-white clothing. 706 712
• The restored Time-Tracing Beauty Pearl hangs around her neck, reflecting moon-white light against her collarbones. 693

Personality

Murong Taxue is reserved, composed, and difficult to approach. She is accustomed to admiration and unwanted attention, typically answering suitors and provocateurs with brief, decisive refusals rather than wasting words on them. 533 535 699

Beneath her aloof exterior, she is fiercely loyal and protective. She openly places herself between Lu Changsheng and powerful enemies, leads efforts to save him when he is imprisoned, and risks herself to rescue Rui’er during the Spatial Storm. 519 537 636

She is also practical and perceptive in dangerous situations. She recognizes threats quickly, urges caution in Tianbei City, identifies the nature of the Blackwater Profound Python’s Immortal Spirit Marrow, and secretly marks Jian Gu with an icy aura to track him. 492 533 570

Her composure does not prevent deep compassion. She uses her ice power to temporarily suppress the destructive palm force within Rui’er’s body after the Nine-Headed Sea Snake Race’s betrayal, and she remains at Lu Changsheng’s side even when facing the dangers of the World Tree and the Immortal Realm passage. 773 800
