As the figure of the renowned Ice Soul Supreme, who was famous Southern Territory, slowly dissipated from within the Cold Palace.
A few breaths later, the same figure slowly appeared tens of thousands of miles away, east of the Northern Cang Cold Palace, in that desolate region dominated by eternal wind and snow and raging tides.
The sheer cliffs, covered in ancient, Profound Ice, plunge straight down into the churning, roaring, inky ocean below.
This is the true boundary of the Yunze Continent.
The biting Gale Force, carrying ice particles and salty, fishy vapor, was strong enough to tear apart the rare Nine Luminaries Division Armor. Here, the wind and snow transformed into raging white blades, howling endlessly.
At the summit, only a pure white dot stands alone, isolated from the world.
It was a woman Baiyi.
Her thin garments fluttered slightly in the Gale Force that could freeze even a Saint of the Great Void Realm.
Its figure was solitary and its face was extremely beautiful, but its expression was as cold as ancient Profound Ice. Its silver-white eyes reflected the dark sea and snow, without any ripples, and its eight tails swayed casually behind it.
Even though this place was only ten thousand miles away from the Northern Cang Cold Palace, the woman in Baiyi showed no sign of nervousness.
She is none other than the Immortal Realm Great Demon, Mystic Frost Sky Fox, who has occupied this region and caused the Northern Cang Cold Palace and even the entire Yunze Continent to pay a heavy price!
Also known as the White Jade Fox Venerable.
The figure of the Ice Soul Supreme silently coalesced a few feet behind her, and the wind and snow automatically avoided the force field around her.
"You've come again." The woman's voice was emotionless, and she didn't turn around.
A rare, gentle smile appeared on the young man's face, but deep in his eyes lay a persistence that had been accumulating for tens of thousands of years.
"Fox Lord."
He stepped forward to stand beside her, gazing at the boundless, raging sea, his voice rising slightly at the end. "The Dao injury that has troubled you for tens of thousands of years may soon be resolved."
"What?" The White Jade Beast Venerable finally turned his head, his silver eyes calmly sweeping over him, and asked with a cold smile:
"Has the Lord of the Cold Palace finally been willing to sacrifice a few pounds of his own supreme flesh and blood to fulfill my Great Dao to True Body?"
"My flesh and blood are of little use to heal you," the snow-robed youth gently shook his head, his smile deepening, and said softly.
"But if it is a Human Race blood sacrifice with abundant Blood Vitality, great potential, and a high probability that its combat strength is no less than that of a half-step supreme being, the result will be completely different."
"His life essence and the unrefined Spiritual Platform universe within him will surely have a miraculous effect on your repair of the broken Nine-tailed Dao Foundation!"
"Blood sacrifice? Not inferior to a half-step supreme being?" The Beast Venerable's voice was more piercing than the cold wind on the mountaintop, carrying undisguised sarcasm:
"Ice Soul, have you been guarding this frigid land for too long, and your mind has been frozen by the wind and snow? The Yunze is desolate; where can we find such food?"
Even if it really exists...
As she spoke, her eerie pupils turned to the Ice Soul Supreme, her questioning voice sharp and piercing:
"If you, the Ice Soul Supreme who reigns supreme in the Cold Palace and commands respect Northern Region, don't make a move, who among your shrimp soldiers and crab generals could possibly defeat him?"
"I'm afraid it will only make us a laughingstock."
For tens of thousands of years, her rejection has been the deepest scar in the heart of the snow-robed youth.
Every time I approached, every time I tried to give, all I received was this bone-chilling coldness and mockery.
This time, however, he was unusually calm.
"This person is not a native of the Southern Territory." He met the icy gaze head-on, a confident smile even playing on his lips, and slowly explained in a steady, powerful voice:
"His name is Ye Li, he comes from the Capital City, and he carries out an imperial decree, serving as the current governor-general in charge of all affairs in the Southern Territory!"
"Recently, he has even slain several Venerables with ease. His Blood Vitality and the purity of his essence are unparalleled in the Yunze Continent!"
Upon hearing this, Lady White Jade's silver eyes narrowed slightly:
Do you think True Body don't understand the rules of the Great Sheng Dynasty? Or do you think True Body 'll be blinded by your empty promises?
"He is the governor of the Southern Territory and carries the emperor's mandate. If you dare to touch him, aren't you afraid that the Great Sheng will exterminate your entire Han Palace?"
"I was naturally prepared!" The Ice Soul Supreme finally revealed his true intentions, his voice deep and powerful:
"Now, the entire Nine Luminaries Division in the Southern Territory is in a state of panic due to the so-called resurgence of the Bone and Blood Cult!"
"But what they didn't know was that those Bone and Blood Cult members who were rampaging through the territory, seeking blood and flesh, were actually two elders under my True Body and remnants of the Bone and Blood Cult sent by the Second Prince of Dasheng!"
"Second Prince! He is the true ruler of the remnants of the Bone and Blood Cult, and he is willing to help me find Human Race blood food for you!!"
A hint of surprise flashed across the woman in Baiyi's face, but she quickly regained her composure.
"The Second Prince now intends to use the name of the heretical cult to eliminate this person and sever the Third Princess's arm, but what I seek..." The Ice Soul Supreme stared at her, his gaze burning and focused, "Is simply to find this excellent medicine to heal your Dao injury!"
"As for taking him down... there's really no need for me to True Body intervene!"
"Three peak Venerables, plus an Immortal-grade Treasured Artifacts powerful enough to temporarily imprison a Supreme! No matter how strong that Governor Ye is, without breaking through to Immortality, he will surely die facing this array of forces and the suppression of this Treasured Artifacts!!"
The wind and snow on the mountaintop seemed to freeze for a moment.
The woman in Baiyi fell silent.
The Dao injury she suffered was caused by a failed breakthrough, and it has lingered for tens of thousands of years, eroding her very essence and constantly hindering her hopes of advancement.
The message from the other party was like a tiny but hard pebble thrown into the depths of her eternally frozen heart, inevitably stirring up some ripples.
She pursed her lips very slightly, a hint of vulnerability flashing in her eyes.
This was also the first time in tens of thousands of years that she had shown a reaction that was not entirely cold when facing this Ice Soul Supreme.
Before that.
Even when the other party deliberately sent the Cold Palace disciples to their deaths to heal her Great Dao wounds, she had never been so moved.
"Is that so?" She slightly raised her head, her silver eyes regaining their deep indifference as she looked down at the dark sea. "Your words... let's see how you actually do them first."
Although his tone remained indifferent.
Ice Soul Supreme keenly sensed that extremely subtle easing, and an indescribable warm current, carrying an almost suffocating ecstasy, suddenly rushed to his throat.
At the same time, his supreme heart, which had been dormant for tens of thousands of years, finally began to beat violently!
It was as if he had been transported back to the first time he began cultivating the Dao, when the other party suddenly appeared from the darkness of night and slaughtered all his fellow disciples and enemies, but spared his life alone!
"I will do it."
The Ice Soul Supreme's voice deepened, yet it contained an unprecedented intensity and resolve. "For you, there is nothing... that I cannot do!"
Having said that, he said no more, and his figure once again transformed into dazzling ice crystals, disappearing into the wind and snow.
Only a solitary white figure remained atop the mountain.
The wind and snow continue.
White Jade stood silently for a long time, then her silver eyes looked towards the spot where the ice spirit had disappeared, a sense of irritation rising within her for no apparent reason. "..."
This is such Trouble.
The reason she didn't kill the young man in the snow robe was that she was the only one who didn't kill him back then.
However, he was spared only because the old man possessed a personal heirloom from the previous Palace Master the Northern Cang Cold Palace, and the old man was worried that he would fight him to the death. He never expected that this would lead to such a result.
He was madly infatuated with her, and that was one thing.
Ironically, her unwavering dedication over tens of thousands of years shook her resolve to become an immortal!
Certainly.
Although it exists, it's only a fleeting, tiny fraction of it.
"But if you can truly deliver that person to True Body..."
The White Jade Fox Venerable murmured to himself, but suddenly the wind and snow intensified.
A fierce Gale Force blew, gradually swallowing up the last trace of warmth that did not belong to this place on the mountaintop.
