On the night of the full moon three days later, Fairy Bingyao brought Yun Che early to the Ancestral Jade Platform deep within the Ice Moon Forbidden Land.
Cold moonlight filtered through the vaulted ice ceiling, washing the entire altar covered in ice patterns in pale silver. The Azure Ancestral Jade had already been placed in the recess at the altar's center. Its lustrous white body slowly gave off a pale azure spiritual glow, faintly resonating with the surrounding ice patterns.
Fairy Bingyao shed her outer robe, leaving only a plain white ceremonial garment patterned with ice. A wisp of ice-blue Lifebound Ice Soul condensed at her fingertip, and she gently touched it to the Azure Jade. She bowed three times before the Ancestral Jade and slowly began reciting an obscure ritual invocation.
As the invocation rang out, the ice patterns around the Ancestral Jade Platform lit up one after another. A pale azure pillar of light shot skyward from the Azure Jade, breaking straight through the ice ceiling. Even the full moon above seemed veiled in azure mist.
The entire forbidden land began to tremble gently. An ancient, boundless aura slowly spread from the pillar of light, its pressure making even Yun Che instinctively focus.
Before long, a hazy figure in azure gradually took shape within the pillar. He was tall and slender, his hair hanging loose, his face shrouded in azure light and impossible to make out. Only when his eyes opened did they reveal a weathered serenity that had seen through countless ages, and his voice slowly resounded throughout the forbidden land.
"Descendants, call my true name, and my true form shall appear."
Fairy Bingyao bowed respectfully, then called out, "I, Bingyao of the younger generation, beseech the ancient sage Cang Qingzi to manifest his true form."
