Do You Still Want the Old Ice Emperor Now That You Have a New One?

More importantly, the Mite'er Family's new Ice Emperor was far too young—only eighteen...

Their Sect Master was already thirty-one this year, a full thirteen years older.

A few more years, and she could be his mother.

Of course, if the Sect Master broke through to the Dou Emperor realm, then with a Dou Emperor's lifespan of two or three hundred years, an age gap of a dozen years or so would be nothing.

It was like Elder Gu He thought as well.

Six years ago, when Elder Gu He won the Alchemist Tournament, he had been right at the competition's maximum age limit of forty.

Six years ago, the Sect Master had been twenty-five. The two of them had been fifteen years apart, an even greater age gap...

Yet before this, everyone had overlooked the age difference between Elder Gu He and the Sect Master.

With the talent the two had displayed, becoming Dou Emperors in the future would not be a problem.

Yun Leng shook his head. Why did the more he thought about it, the more it felt like Elder Gu He was robbing the cradle?

"An eighteen-year-old Dou Emperor!"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes widened round as she blurted out, "Great Elder, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"

Well, the Great Elder was already over sixty. It was normal for his hearing to be failing.

Yun Leng was helpless before Yun Yun's suspicious look. He was indeed over sixty, but he was a Dou Wang. Living to a hundred and fifty would not be a problem, and his body was still strong as iron. How could he possibly be deaf or blind?

"Sect Master, that new Ice Emperor is indeed eighteen. This old man is not deaf yet."

"..."

Yun Yun smiled awkwardly, then returned to the previous topic.

"Great Elder, you did the right thing. If there is another opportunity, I will personally pay that new Ice Emperor a visit."

"The Sect Master is wise. This old man shall take his leave."

After Yun Leng left, Yun Yun sat upon the Sect Master's throne and recalled the scene of her teacher fighting the old Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong.

At the time, her teacher had practically suppressed Hai Bodong the entire battle.

Although part of it had been due to the advantage in cultivation, it still showed that the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master was simply stronger than the Ice Emperor.

Compared to the previous generation's Misty Cloud Sect Master and Ice Emperor, things had been reversed in her generation.

She was over thirty and still stuck at the Nine-Star Dou Wang realm.

That new Ice Emperor had already broken through to the Dou Emperor realm at just eighteen.

In Yun Yun's eyes, was this not her chance to prove that the Misty Cloud Sect Master was stronger than the Ice Emperor?

Previously, her teacher had been an 8-Star Dou Emperor against Hai Bodong's Five-Star Dou Emperor, and her teacher had won.

So now, if she, a Nine-Star Dou Wang, defeated that One-Star Dou Emperor, would that not be the best proof?

As the Misty Cloud Sect Master, a Nine-Star Dou Wang, and an adult in her thirties,

although Yun Yun was a woman, she possessed the traits of a Dou Qi cultivator: competitiveness and the desire to prevail over others.

Especially when there was such an extraordinarily gifted rising star, one who also had certain special ties to her sect.

Yun Yun felt that, as her teacher's disciple, she could not tarnish her teacher's reputation. She had to defeat the Ice Emperor as well.

Moreover, Yun Yun believed that although she was a Nine-Star Dou Wang and her opponent was a One-Star Dou Emperor, it was not as though she had no chance of winning.

She had previously thought she had no chance because she believed this new Ice Emperor was a young man in his twenties.

But now, the Great Elder had told her that the new Ice Emperor was only eighteen. That changed everything!

Eighteen. Heh, even if an eighteen-year-old One-Star Dou Emperor had solid Dou Qi, his overall strength could not be too great. Among Dou Emperors, he was basically at the very bottom.

Eighteen—how old was he? How many years had he cultivated for?

When she had been eighteen, she had only been a Da Dou Shi. Her control over Dou Qi and her cultivation of techniques and Dou Skills had only been half-understood, and that was with her teacher guiding her.

In contrast, that brat from the Mittel Clan had no teacher. At only eighteen, he was already a One-Star Dou Emperor. Clearly, he was the kind of "inferior" Dou Emperor who blindly pursued realms and focused solely on cultivation.

As for herself, although she was a Nine-Star Dou Wang, she had remained at this realm for eight years since emerging from the Life-and-Death Gate. Her foundation was incomparably solid.

Over these eight years, she had settled down to temper her own Dou Qi while cultivating her techniques and Dou Skills to perfection. Her combat strength was absolutely among the very best in the Dou Wang realm.

Combined with the profound techniques and Dou Skills passed down through the Sect Master lineage, Yun Yun was filled with confidence.

"No matter what, I hold the advantage in our battle!"

Yun Yun was incomparably confident. This was a fact anyone with even a little thought could see.

Still, this battle had to happen soon. It could not be delayed for too long.

If that boy with outrageously high cultivation talent continued advancing his realm, then under an absolute gap in cultivation, no amount of combat strength would help her.

His combat strength could be questioned, but Yun Yun would never doubt his cultivation talent.

"Mm, it's decided. I'll pick a time soon to fight that brat and let him know that the Misty Cloud Sect Master cannot be defeated!"

Yun Yun, now in her thirties, had enjoyed a smooth path all the way here. Her graceful figure appeared mature, but deep inside, she still possessed much of a young girl's liveliness.

However, as the Sect Master, she would not let others see this side of her.

Only the disciple she had taken in not long ago could see the girlish charm of the Misty Cloud Sect Master.

"Oh, right. I wonder whether Yanran knows this news yet. I should tell her about it and put a little pressure on her, so that little girl doesn't spend all day thinking about playing."

Yun Yun thought silently. As a first-time teacher, she attached great importance to her first disciple.

Meanwhile, news that the Mite'er Family had produced a new Ice Emperor was spreading downward through every level.

The commotion caused by this news grew greater and greater. In just a few days, it had developed into a storm of public opinion.

It not only swept through the entire empire but also spread outward from the Jia Ma Empire with even more terrifying momentum.

When a certain fellow who had nearly died in the desert learned of this news, he was somewhat shocked. "I never expected the Mittel Clan to raise such a genius."

"Now that the Mittel Clan has a new Ice Emperor, will they still want this old Ice Emperor?"

"Wait a little longer. Once that little fellow has gone farther in the Dou Emperor realm, at the very least, he must not end up like me..."

"Mm, speaking of which, Medusa, the one who cast the Seal, should have a way to undo it too, right?"

At this time, the eight-year-old Xiao Yan also learned the news from the elders of the Xiao Clan.

Eighteen. Dou Emperor.

Those two key words shocked even Xiao Yan, who possessed an adult's mind.

"Only ten years older than me. I'm eight this year and have just broken through to Seven-Stage Dou Qi. If everything goes smoothly, I might become a Dou Zhe at eleven. Then..."

Xiao Yan counted on his fingers. From Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Spirit, Dou Wang, to Dou Emperor, there were six major realms in total.

"Eighteen minus eleven makes seven. Seven years to cross six major realms..."

"If I could do that, I'd be fucking incredible!"
