400,000-year cultivation	58 59	Ice Spirit Pills raise her cultivation to the tribulation threshold and heal most of her hidden injuries. With her seal temporarily removed, she survives roughly an hour of heavenly lightning and completes the breakthrough. Lin Xuanchen seals her soul power again immediately afterward.

Background / History

Recruitment in the Far North

The Ice Empress carried hidden injuries and expected her next heavenly tribulation in about a hundred years. She had disclosed its timing only to the Snow Empress, making Lin Xuanchen's knowledge of both facts deeply unsettling 20.

Lin Xuanchen lured her out with ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow. She initially intended to seize it, but Electrolux's deliberately simulated aura made her hesitate. Lin Xuanchen claimed to possess forty-five pieces and offered twenty in exchange for protection and guidance for a little over ten years 19 20.

Concern for the Snow Empress's injuries and approaching tribulation ultimately persuaded her to accept a ten-year guardianship. After bargaining for an advance, she received one piece of marrow and swore by the Ice God not to kill Lin Xuanchen or Wang Dong'er through betrayal during her service. She insisted that their arrangement was strictly a partnership and followed them from the shadows 21.

Service at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Ice Empress intercepted the infernal delicate apricot's attack and killed her. She then killed the aromatic silk beauty at Lin Xuanchen's command when the plant withheld a book. Afterward, she left to explore the valley, warning Lin Xuanchen against touching her hair again 24.

She also froze Xixi, the 120,000-year-old Dawn-Burning Golden Lotus, while deliberately leaving her alive. This allowed Lin Xuanchen to extract Xixi's crystal core and Wang Dong'er to later kill her for a fourth soul ring 28 29.

Sealing and Confinement

Before leaving for Wang Dong'er's home, Lin Xuanchen fed the Ice Empress a small piece of profound ice marrow containing a concealed child flame of his Life Spirit Flame. It entered her dantian and gave him control over whether she could mobilize her soul power 32 33.

An accidental collision during their subsequent confrontation caused their first kiss. The Ice Empress briefly produced another surge of soul power, but Lin Xuanchen reinforced the seal and fled with Wang Dong'er. She lamented that her first kiss had been intended for the Snow Empress 34 35.

Without sufficient soul power to leave the valley, she remained trapped at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for over a year. Her ferocious-beast pressure still protected her from the intelligent immortal herbs. By Lin Xuanchen's return, she had loosened the seal enough to use a small amount of ice-attribute power, but not enough to escape 35 57 58.

Retrieval and Continued Control

Lin Xuanchen returned while seeking his sixth soul ring, intending to use the Ice Empress against a 190,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor if it refused to sacrifice itself. He compensated her with Ice Spirit Pills, which enabled her next cultivation breakthrough 57 58 59.

After her tribulation, he restored the seal and demanded a kiss in exchange for removing it for one second. She refused, then pursued him when he threatened to recruit the Snow Empress instead; their collision caused another accidental kiss. He subsequently restrained her and forced a further kiss, which she explicitly condemned 59 60.

Still refusing to release her soul power, Lin Xuanchen carried her toward the Sun Moon Empire despite her protests. They stopped for the night in the Star Luo Empire. During that stay, he exceeded the limited physical contact she had agreed to; afterward, she accused him of deception and cried. He comforted her and promised to take responsibility, while she continued calling him a liar 60 61.

Appearance

The Ice Empress's humanoid form resembles a petite young girl with a fair, delicate face 20.

• Hair: Long jade-green hair falling down her back, with small braids tied into it 20.
• Eyes: Amber 20.
• Facial markings: Four emerald-green demon marks on each side of her face 20.
• Build: Short and slender 34.

Personality

Proud and distrustful of humans, the Ice Empress initially considers taking Lin Xuanchen's marrow by force rather than negotiating. She resents being treated as a subordinate or pet and repeatedly emphasizes that her guardianship is a partnership 20 21 32.

Her love for the Snow Empress is her strongest vulnerability. Concern for the Snow Empress's survival drives her acceptance of the guardianship, and threats involving separation from—or interference with—the Snow Empress provoke immediate alarm 21 34 59.

She reacts sharply to unwanted touching and humiliation, often with threats or physical retaliation. Valuable ice-attribute resources can soften her anger, but she continues protesting Lin Xuanchen's restrictions and coercion even after accepting his compensation 24 33 57 58 59.

Abilities & Skills

Eternal Frozen Domain

A freezing domain powerful enough to stop an incoming fire attack in midair 24.

• Instantly freezes the infernal delicate apricot's fiery sword beam, protecting Lin Xuanchen and Wang Dong'er 24.

Targeted Freezing

The Ice Empress can freeze opponents through direct contact or a projected wisp of frost 24 28.

• A light finger tap freezes the infernal delicate apricot completely before her body shatters 24.
• The same freezing-and-shattering effect kills the aromatic silk beauty 24.
• A ranged frost attack encases Xixi in ice without immediately killing her, demonstrating control over its lethality 28.

Ice Emperor's Wrath

A palm-strike technique that forms an emerald-green pillar of light 59.

• Collides with the first silver thunderbolt of her 400,000-year heavenly tribulation 59.

Other Tribulation Techniques

Several additional named techniques are used against successive heavenly thunderbolts. Their individual mechanics are not described 59.

• Ice Empress's Claw 59.
• Ice Emperor's Protection 59.
• Profound Ice Strangulation 59.

Ferocious-Beast Pressure

Her intimidating pressure remains usable even when her soul power is sealed 35.

• Frightens and suppresses the hundred-thousand-year intelligent immortal herbs in the valley 35.
• Does not provide the mobility needed to escape the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 35.

Soul-Power Seal: Limits

Lin Xuanchen's Life Spirit Flame child flame restricts access to her soul power rather than removing her cultivation 33 59.

• Lin Xuanchen can activate or lift the restriction with a thought 33 58.
• After prolonged confinement, she weakens it enough to wield power equivalent to approximately level twenty or thirty 58.
• She can create and launch a small ice crystal in that weakened state 58.
• Her seal remains in place after her breakthrough and departure from the valley 59 60 61.

Relationships

• Snow Empress / Xue'er — The person she cares about most and the only one she says she has ever loved. She intended her first kiss for Xue'er; Lin Xuanchen repeatedly exploits this attachment to pressure her 21 35 58 59.
• Lin Xuanchen — Her employer and source of cultivation resources, but also the person who seals her power, confines her, and subjects her to unwanted intimacy. He later promises to take responsibility for her, without releasing the seal 21 33 35 58 60 61.
• Wang Dong'er — Included in the Ice Empress's guardianship oath. The Ice Empress protects her from the infernal delicate apricot and immobilizes Xixi for her soul-ring acquisition 21 24 28 29.
• Electrolux — His simulated aura deters her from immediately attacking or stealing the profound ice marrow during her first meeting with Lin Xuanchen 20.
• Ice God — The divine witness invoked in her guardianship oath. Remembering that oath restrains her initial impulse to strike Lin Xuanchen for touching her hair 21 24.
