After months of training, Xue Chen reached Rank 28 and traveled with the Snow Empress and Ice Empress to the Far North Ice Spring, where the Snow Empress planned to forge an ice attribute Origin Seed for him.

• The Snow Empress opened a jade box containing an eighty-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Jade Orchid, and the Ice Empress protested that it had been saved for the Snow Empress’s next tribulation.

The Snow Empress used the Ice Crystal Jade Orchid to prepare Xue Chen’s body for condensing an ice-attribute Origin Seed, then drew on the Far North Ice Spring and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to help him form one. As Xue Chen endured the painful tempering, a pure blue speck began to condense in his dantian.

• Xue Chen told Snow Empress that the tribulation had transformed his blue lightning into a stronger blue-violet Thunder Origin.
• Snow Empress said she had chosen a nearly twenty-thousand-year-old Snow Domain Thunder Leopard for Xue Chen's third Soul Ring and took him to its cave.
