Background

Liu Yueming was born into a family from the outskirts of the Extreme North whose inherited martial soul was the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad. Her own martial soul mutated into the Snow Jade Ice Toad, exchanging the original lineage's insidious ice poison for purer ice-and-snow control and stronger freezing power. The mutation initially left her cultivation progressing slowly despite her talent, and she faced doubts from her clansmen. 15 25

She married Yi Hongchen and became the mother of Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Yan Hongchen. Repeated childbirth severely depleted her vitality and caused her soul power to regress, leaving her concerned that she would eventually be unable to protect her children. 15

Appearance

When her martial soul is active, Liu Yueming takes on traits of ice and snow.

• Snowflake patterns continuously rotate within her pupils. 8
• Her skin becomes crystalline, with the appearance of icy flesh and jade-like bones. 8
• Her Snow Jade Ice Toad manifests as an ice-and-snow toad with pure snow-jade eyes. 8
• After absorbing the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast's head soul bone, her eyes gain a faint silver sheen. 16

Personality

Liu Yueming is a patient, perceptive instructor who emphasizes practical control over raw power. During Meng Hongchen's training, she recognized both her daughter's aptitude and the risks of overreliance on poison, steering her toward ice control and close-combat mobility instead. 8

Her resolve is rooted in her family. Although she accepts her past weakness, depleted foundation, and uncertain future, she refuses to remain behind while her loved ones face danger. This determination lets her overcome the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast's soul-bound obsession and gain its willing acceptance. 15

She is also protective and self-sacrificing, concealing the damage to her spiritual sea after the Extreme North expedition rather than burdening her family. Even after her condition is exposed, she states that she does not regret the choice that kept her alive and opened the possibility of attaining an ultimate attribute. 17 25

Abilities & Skills

Snow Jade Ice Toad

Liu Yueming's mutated martial soul evolved from the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad lineage. It has exceptional control over ice and snow, powerful freezing properties, and resistance to the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad's poison. 8

• Trades much of the original martial soul's poison-based unpredictability for purer snow-attribute power. 8
• Has potential to attain an ultimate ice attribute. 25
• Can store and release Ice Extremity Divine Crystal through the martial soul as though the metal were part of it. 59

Snow Blindness

Her first soul skill, demonstrated after her recovery. 117

• Cuts off a target's vision when they meet her gaze. 117
• Its later enhanced form incorporates traits associated with the Illusory Snake and relies heavily on spiritual power. 128

Ice Dance Rainbow Garment

Her second soul skill creates a crystalline outer garment of ice and snow. 8

• Greatly increases her strength and defense. 8
• Enhances her affinity with ice and snow. 8

Ice Refraction

Her third soul skill creates a mirror-smooth ice field beneath her feet. 8

• Allows silent, highly mobile movement across the created ice. 8
• Can create deceptive displacement effects, making her apparent position difficult to judge. 8
• Requires maintained ice beneath the user's feet; it fails if the ice disappears. 8

Blizzard Lost Trail

Her fourth soul skill spreads dense snowy mist over dozens of meters. 8

• Obstructs opponents' vision through wind and snow. 8
• Preserves Liu Yueming's own clear perception within the mist. 8
• Combines effectively with Ice Refraction for concealed movement. 8

Ice Toad Devours Spirit

Her sixth soul skill and strongest single-target control technique. 14 15

• Temporarily devours and suppresses a target, stripping its combat ability for a period. 15
• Can control opponents much stronger than Liu Yueming. 15
• Places extreme strain on her spiritual power when the target's spiritual strength exceeds hers. 15
• Sealed the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast's ice heart and ultimately enabled her to obtain its power. 14 16

Soul Freezing

A head soul bone skill obtained from the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast. 16

• Condenses spiritual power into invisible ice-attribute chill that attacks a target's sea of consciousness. 16
• Can slow thoughts and dull reactions, or completely freeze the target's sea of consciousness. 16
• Initially halted the burning of Liu Yueming's spiritual power. 16

Spiritual-Sea Crisis and Recovery

After using Ice Toad Devours Spirit against the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast, Liu Yueming burned her spiritual power to survive the clash of wills. Her ice-attributed seventh soul ring and head soul bone preserved a sliver of vitality, allowing her to freeze her own sea of spirit and imprison the burning Spiritual Fire within it. 16 25 31

The measure saved her life but stopped her spiritual power from circulating normally. The scattered power above the ice could maintain ordinary consciousness, but she could not mobilize power or resume cultivation. 30 41

Yan Hongchen later treated her using the Mirror Shadow Beast's abilities, transforming the sealed ice and extracting the Spiritual Fire to cultivate a Soul Snow Lotus. The ice and flames disappeared from her sea of spirit, allowing her to awaken and summon all seven soul rings again. 117

Story Role / Major Arcs

Cultivation Guidance

Liu Yueming and Yi Hongchen guide the children’s cultivation before traveling to the Extreme North. She personally spars with Meng Hongchen, assessing her poison control and recommending Ice Refraction as a future close-combat skill. 6 8

Extreme North Expedition

Seeking a suitable seventh soul ring, Liu Yueming identifies the approximately fifty-thousand-year Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast and directs the group's strategy: suppress it without forcing it into self-destruction, then leave the final strike to her. 13

She uses Ice Toad Devours Spirit to seal the beast's ice heart, but is frozen in mystic ice after its final retaliation. Within a spiritual battlefield, she withstands attacks drawn from her fears and memories, affirming that she seeks strength to stand alongside and protect her family. The beast relinquishes its remaining will and power. 14 15

Frozen Sea of Spirit

Liu Yueming gains a seventh soul ring and the Ice Soul Mystic Hoof Beast's head soul bone, but hides the damage caused by burning her spiritual power. Snow Empress later exposes that her sea of spirit has been self-sealed in ice, leaving her unable to cultivate despite preserving her life. 16 25 30

Recovery

Her family supports Yan Hongchen's treatment plan. Yi Hongchen endures memory extraction to help create a Pseudo Mirror Lake, and Yan Hongchen ultimately extracts the Spiritual Fire from Liu Yueming's sea of spirit. She awakens recovered and immediately demonstrates Snow Blindness. 31 116 117
