Background / History

The Ice Soul Heart first appears when the Ice Phoenix burns away its cultivation to restrain the Pope and Abyssal Core. Before turning into an ice crystal, the phoenix gives the Heart to Yang Jun and entrusts him with protecting Spirit Hall's Forbidden Ground. Its arrival enables Yang Jun's Earth Vein Power to close the Abyssal Rift and sever the Pope's Abyssal Contract 5.

Yang Zhen's memories establish the Heart as a key part of the Earth Vein Guardians' sealing legacy. It can resonate with Yang Zhen's Soul Bone Shards, activate the Ancient Soul Beast Altar, and serve as the “flame” required alongside Yang Jun's bloodline and Soul Bone Shards to open or restore seals connected to the Abyssal Mother Nest 6 7 9.

Yang Zhen's notes describe the Ice Soul Heart as a crystallization of the continent's Earth Vein Power, possessing the ability to purify the abyss. The notes also state that its full strength requires combination with Earth Vein Power 12. However, visions within the Ice Soul Cold Pond reveal that Qian Xunji fused an Abyssal Ice Core into the young Yang Jun; Yu Xiaogang concludes that the Heart also contains a fragment of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul and Abyssal Power 21.

When the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King awakens, Yang Jun activates the Ice Soul Seal by offering his soul to the cold pond. The Heart breaks into countless ice crystals and seals the creature beneath the ice, but Yang Jun collapses without breath 21. Yu Xiaogang later sustains the remaining soul fluctuation through seven days of Ice Thunder Power, and the Heart begins pulsing anew when Yang Jun revives in his crystal coffin 24.

Appearance

The Ice Soul Heart is a blue-crystal artifact that emits pale-blue or blue-gold radiance. It can be held in Yang Jun's palm, pressed against a target or seal, floated overhead, or manifest from within his chest 5 6 16 24.

• Emits Blue Crystal light that suppresses or purifies Abyssal Black Qi 6 11.
• Resonates with Golden Patterns, Earth Vein Power, Soul Bone Shards, and Ancient Soul Beast relics 6 7 9.
• Can merge with the ice crystal of the Golden Pattern Soul Beast phantom 6 7.
• After Yang Jun's revival, its light is described as azure like ice but warm like melting spring snow 24.

Abilities & Functions

Abyssal Purification

The Heart purifies Abyssal Power, black mist, corrupted Soul Power, and related erosion through its Blue Crystal light.

• Drives away black mist around the Abyssal Mother Nest's core and shields Yang Jun from ambient erosion 11.
• Freezes the Abyssal Demon Lion's black mist into ice crystals before the creature explodes 16.
• Purifies Abyssal Black Qi during the closure of the Forbidden Ground rift 6.
• Stabilizes and cleanses Bibi Dong's Self-Condensing Soul Ring when used with Earth Vein Power and Su Li's Purification Incense 10.
• Reaches its fullest purifying potential only when combined with Earth Vein Power 12.

Sealing and Resonance

The Heart functions as a catalyst for seals established by Yang Zhen and the Ancient Soul Beasts.

• Resonates with Yang Zhen's Soul Bone Shards to reveal his memories and unfinished oath 6 7.
• Activates the Ancient Soul Beast Altar's primordial power alongside Soul Bone Shards and Bibi Dong's inherited bloodline fragment 7.
• Opens Yang Zhen's golden barrier when joined with Yang Jun's bloodline and a Soul Bone Shard 9.
• Helps seal the Abyssal Mother Nest by awakening the altar's source power 9.
• Becomes the core of the Ice Soul Seal, sacrificing its own form to imprison the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King 21.

Frost Manifestation

The Heart can transform its cold energy into defensive and offensive constructs.

• Forms Frost Barriers that block corrupted Puppet Beast attacks 6.
• Creates a Frost Giant Scythe when merged with Yang Jun's Earth Vein Power 6 7.
• Freezes Abyssal mist into black ice crystals, exposing the trapped souls and twisted faces within 16 17.
• Can manifest as an Ice Blade, though its construct may be corroded by Abyssal parasite mist 17.

Ice Soul: Final Burial

Its ultimate skill releases a hall-wide freezing wave capable of immobilizing Abyssal threats.

• Freezes black blood, tentacles, and corrupted faces in the Holy Relic Hall into ice crystals 16.
• Requires Yang Jun to pour his own Soul Power into the Heart 16.
• Carries a severe cost, acknowledged by Qian Xunji's phantom immediately after its use 16.

Ice-Thunder Fusion

The Heart can be awakened through thunder-related power.

• Yu Xiaogang uses his mother's Soul Power to awaken the Heart's thunder power after the events at the Holy Relic Hall 16.
• Its later revival within Yang Jun is tied to Yu Xiaogang's sustained use of Ice Thunder Power at the Ice Tomb 24.

Limitations

• Its strongest purification requires Earth Vein Power; it is not fully effective as an independent artifact 12.
• Repeated use strains Yang Jun's body, reopening wounds and contributing to bursts in his meridians when paired with excessive Earth Vein Power 6 7 9.
• Its ice constructs can be eroded by Abyssal parasite mist, as shown when an Ice Blade fails against Qian Xunji's scepter 17.
• The Ice Soul Seal destroys the Heart's manifested form and demands Yang Jun's life force or soul as its price 21.

Relationships

• Yang Jun — Primary bearer. He uses the Heart to channel Earth Vein Power, cleanse corruption, activate seals, and ultimately imprison the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King 5 6 21.
• Ice Phoenix — Original known donor. The Ice Phoenix gives the Heart to Yang Jun while sacrificing its cultivation to restrain the Pope and Abyssal Core 5.
• Yang Zhen — His Soul Bone Shards and Earth Vein seals are designed to resonate with the Heart; his notes identify it as an Earth Vein crystallization 6 9 12.
• Bibi Dong — Her Silk Soul Crystal and Soul Power combine with the Heart to awaken altar power, combat Abyssal threats, and cleanse her Self-Condensing Soul Ring 7 10 11.
• Yu Xiaogang — Awakens its thunder power through his mother's Soul Power and sustains Yang Jun's surviving Ice Soul with Ice Thunder Power 16 24.
• Deep Sea Demonic Whale King — Its soul fragment is believed to be fused into the Heart; Yang Jun shatters the Heart to seal the creature beneath the Ice Soul Cold Pond 21.
