Martial Realm Mistress

"Very well, Ancestor is also curious about just who that Martial Realm Mistress is."

Without a second thought, the Ice Spirit Ancestor readily agreed. With a gentle swipe of his withered hand, an incomparably majestic Azure Ancient Stele rose from the void with a thunderous roar, its surface enveloped in endless Ice.

"Buzz!"

As the azure light on the monument condensed, it transformed into a graceful Ice Blue Figure. The figure was slender and beautiful, with no sorrow or joy. Between her fair brows, an Ice Blue Ancient Seal floated, like a deity looking down upon all living beings.

A pair of jade-like, soft hands intertwined on her chest, her beautiful eyes closed, sleeping An Ran. From afar, she resembled an Ice Goddess born from heaven and earth, wielding the Ice Law, acting on behalf of the Heaven and Earth Will, ancient and majestic.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman!"

"The aura of Ice is so strong, the blood of my clan flowing in his veins must be exceptionally pure. I never imagined that there would be such a person among my clansmen who had been separated from us."

"That Martial Ancestor has good taste, choosing such a beauty as his wife."

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell throughout the hall.

From the perspective of the Ice Spirit Clan's aesthetic standards, the appearance and temperament of this Martial Realm Mistress are absolutely divine. She has already evolved herself to a perfect state without the slightest flaw. Even the First Ancestor was no more than this.

Of course, the aesthetics of the Ice Spirit Clan represent the mainstream aesthetics of the Great Thousand World, and probably everyone who sees the Ice Blue Figure for the first time would think so.

"I have no recollection of it at all, yet its bloodline is so rich and pure. It seems to be a royal bloodline of our clan that has been lost abroad."

The Ice Spirit Ancestor murmured thoughtfully.

"Indeed, she is a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm!"

A burning desire appeared on the Battle Emperor's angular face, and his eyes shone brighter than ever before. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately asked the Ice Spirit Ancestor, "I wonder if the Ancestor would be willing to part with it? If so, the Battle Emperor would be eternally grateful."

"This..."

After pondering for a moment, the Ice Spirit Ancestor nodded slightly under the Battle Emperor's expectant gaze and said, "Very well, my friend Battle Emperor and I are friends despite our age difference. Since Battle Emperor has spoken, I will naturally agree."

Between a Spirit Grade Peerless Sacred Object and the Battle Emperor, he would naturally choose the Battle Emperor, because he would gain the friendship of a future Saint-grade Mighty Expert. What was an inanimate object compared to that?

"Haha, Battle Emperor thanks you, Ancestor. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Upon hearing this, the Battle Emperor burst into laughter, displaying extraordinary boldness and cheerfulness.

He knew perfectly well why the Ice Spirit Ancestor was doing this – it was just an early investment – but he never objected to it and had already used it to gain benefits from various forces.

In the eyes of the Battle Emperor, he was the Child of Destiny, so what was wrong with taking some benefits from these ancient races in advance? He would repay them double when they reached the Saint Grade.

Give them a little something sweet, and they'll be begging for his protection.

"No problem. When the Battle Emperor leaves, the Ancestor will send this wisp of soul over."

Having understood the meaning behind the Battle Emperor's words, the Ice Spirit Ancestor smiled broadly. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, the Ice Blue Figure disappeared along with the Azure Ancient Stele.

Both felt they had gotten a good deal, and for a time everyone was happy.

"By the way, go tell Martial Ancestor that the Ancestor disagrees. The Ice Spirit Stele is a treasure of our clan and should not be used lightly. Tell him to take his Peerless Sacred Object and get out of here. Our Ice Spirit Clan doesn't care for it. Otherwise, don't blame the Ancestor for being impolite."

If you're going to do something, you should do it thoroughly and completely. Trying to please both sides will only result in pleasing neither.

Knowing this principle well, the Ice Spirit Ancestor deliberately raised his voice and said this in front of the Battle Emperor and everyone else.

Upon seeing this, the Battle Emperor's smile grew even brighter.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The Ice Spirit Clan Expert bowed and retreated solemnly.

"Battle Emperor, what have you gained from taking a bit of the Martial Realm Mistress's True Spirit? She is still alive and well; how can you possibly rebuild her physical body?"

Seeing the Battle Emperor so smug, the last Spirit Grade Late Heaven Supreme Stage Great Master n't stand it any longer and made a sarcastic remark.

The speaker was a tall and robust Black Robed Old Man with majestic golden vertical pupils in his eyes. Just sitting there quietly, he exuded an extremely powerful and pure Dragon Might aura that made it hard for people to breathe.

Elder of the True Dragon Tribe, Venerable Dragon!

Every living being born into this world is unique.

Even if a method of resurrection is to be performed, the main soul of the person must perish, and the unique soul must return to the divided soul in order to bring the person back to life by obtaining the unique divided soul.

Otherwise, if every time a living being splits off a bit of its True Spirit, it can use that True Spirit to revive a "me," and several "me"s could exist in the world at the same time, wouldn't that be chaos?

Not only does it violate ethical norms, but it also causes immense chaos. Which "I" is the true subject? Which "I" is the real "I"? Which...?

Uniqueness is the constraint that the laws of planes place on the resurrection of living beings.

Ying Huanhuan has not yet perished, and her unique spirit has not returned to the True Spirit within the Ice Spirit Stele. Even if someone else obtains her True Spirit, they will not be able to revive her.

The only concern is that the enemy might use this as an opportunity to launch Spirit Soul attack on his physical body.

"Hehe, Venerable Dragon, you don't understand, do you? Even if we can't revive her, there are many ways to enjoy her beauty."

The Battle Emperor seemed oblivious to the Venerable Dragon's veiled sarcasm, and chuckled wickedly.

"Divine Spirit Soul, the fusion of Spirit Soul. This lecherous Battle Emperor will stop at nothing to enjoy beauty; he is truly a lustful fiend."

Thinking of this, the Venerable Dragon's lips twitched involuntarily.

He wanted to criticize the Battle Emperor again, but since this was the banquet of the Ice Spirit Ancestor, and he was a guest, he couldn't overstep his bounds, so he simply held back.

Just as the banquet was reaching its climax, another series of footsteps could be heard inside the hall.

"Ancestor..."

A familiar yet slightly tentative voice rang out.

"Tell me, what kind of trouble is that Martial Ancestor causing this time? Is he unwilling to leave? Stop thinking about exchanging him for some Peerless Sacred Object. My Ice Spirit Clan is rich and powerful, we don't need his piece of junk."

Looking at the kneeling person below, the Ice Spirit Ancestor, who felt that he had successfully placed his bet in advance, surprisingly did not get angry. Instead, he asked in a gentle tone.

The Ice Spirit Clan Expert hesitated for a moment, then remembered the Mid-grade Sacred Object lying inside his Cosmic Bracelet. Opportunities to obtain a Sacred Object with just a word were rare, so his already limited courage was rekindled.

"The Martial Ancestor said: When I left the Martial Realm, my wife told me that the Ice Spirit Clan was, after all, my mother clan, and that I should not bully them too much. I agreed."

"Therefore, I tried to restrain my tendency to persuade with reason and attempted to communicate rationally with the Ice Spirit Clan, even going so far as to offer a peerless Peerless Sacred Object to ask the nobles for help."

"But now that you're being so shameless, don't blame me, Lin Dong, for telling you my reasons. I'm going to invade your Ancestral Land, demolish your Ancestral Temple, and dig up your ancestral..."

The Ice Spirit Clan Expert spoke with increasing fluency.

"Enough! Shut up, Ancestor!!"

As the earth-shattering roar descended, an extremely cold aura surged forth, instantly freezing the Lower Earth Supreme Stage of the Ice Spirit Clan into an ice sculpture, leaving no trace of Life Force.

That Mid-grade Sacred Object will probably never be used again.

PS1: After Chapter 1333 of the main text of "The Great Ruler," there is a side story written by the Great God Cabbage about the Martial Ancestor's rampage against the Ice Spirit Clan. However, it only has three chapters and ends after the Martial Ancestor has just entered the Ice Realm. If you are interested, you can check out Great God Cabbage's original side story.

PS2: Some people say that the Ice Spirit Clan only has one Heaven Supreme Stage, the Ice Spirit Ancestor. I think that's wrong, for three reasons.

First, the original work only mentions the appearance of the Ice Spirit Ancestor, which does not mean that the Ice Spirit Clan only has one Heaven Supreme Stage.

Secondly, the Wen Family of the Northern Region, where Wen Qingxuan is from, is a small family that has risen to prominence over tens of thousands of years. They all have two or three Heaven Supreme Stage. The Ice Spirit Clan and the Fire Spirit Clan have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, so it is impossible for them to only have one.

Thirdly, in the later stages of the Great Ruler, three Heavenly Demon Emperor invaded the Martial Realm. Ying Huanhuan, the then Ice Spirit Clan Chief, said, "I have brought the Heaven Supreme Stage of the Ice Spirit Clan. Let's have a final battle."

The word "all" indicates that there are quite a few Heaven Supreme Stage in the Ice Spirit Clan, at least seven or eight. Although this is decades later, it still illustrates a certain point.
