The surrounding scene quickly changed. In his sight, he saw the pale sky of the Ice Phoenix Realm, and around him, he saw the unique aura of the Holy Temple area. Yun Che lay in the snow and let out a long sigh of relief.
As his mind relaxed, his severe injuries made his consciousness increasingly blurred and heavy, and his breath became even weaker. In a trance, he saw Mu Xuanyin coming to his side, looking at him coldly.
“Master…” Yun Che opened his mouth and uttered a painful and difficult sound.
“Humph, you actually managed to come out of the Mist Valley alive, you’re really lucky.” Even when facing Yun Che, who was covered in blood and seriously injured to the point of being on the verge of death, her eyes and expression were still cold and emotionless.
“…” Yun Che’s lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. His right arm moved, and then he raised it bit by bit, very slowly. His violent trembling showed that it was not only extremely difficult for him to raise it, but also filled with deep pain.
And in his raised palm, there was a gorgeously blooming rare flower with petals that looked like flawless feathers.
The Ice Feather Spirit Flower that he exchanged half his life for.
Mu Xuanyin: “???”
"This is... the flower that I picked in the Mist Valley... and I give it to... my master..."
"..."Mu Xuanyin didn't use her hands to take it... nor did she react at all.
The hand holding the Ice Feather Spirit Flower was shaking more and more violently, and Yun Che’s consciousness was also rapidly dispersing: “Disciple… I know that I have committed a serious mistake… I do not ask for Master’s forgiveness… I only ask Master… not to get angry with yourself because of this disciple…”
"The flower in my hand... is like the Master in my heart... very beautiful... very cold... but... actually..."
“…”
Yun Che’s consciousness finally completely collapsed and he passed out. The hand that was holding up the Ice Feather Spirit Flower also dropped weakly.
Mu Xuanyin made a lightning-fast move. A light aura instantly lifted up the falling Ice Feather Spirit Flower and slowly flew it into her open palm.
The world suddenly became quiet for a long time.
"Forget it. I'll forgive you for now."
The Ice Feather Spirit Flower disappeared silently in her palm. She turned and left, muttering to herself, very softly, without any more threatening tone.
——————————
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Che finally woke up.
When he regained consciousness, he still felt severe pain all over his body, but it was no longer severe. Besides the pain, he felt an extremely cool and comfortable feeling, like bathing in a warm breeze.
Yun Che opened his eyes and found himself immersed in the Heavenly Nether Frost Lake. All around him, tiny icy spirits were dancing lightly around him. Apart from that, the Heavenly Nether Frost Lake was as quiet as usual, with no one else present. The barrier covering the Heavenly Nether Lake was also closed.
There were several strands of spiritual energy in his body that did not belong to him. These were the auras of high-level spiritual medicines, and they had all been dissolved, gently nourishing the injuries all over his body. Coupled with his extremely strong self-healing ability, although he had just woken up from a serious injury, his injuries had healed by nearly 30%. As his consciousness became clearer and his profound strength recovered, the speed of his recovery would become faster and faster.
The only person who could have dissolved the elixir for him and placed it into the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake was Mu Xuanyin.
“Huh… It seems that Master is not so angry anymore.” Yun Che let out a long sigh of relief. He felt much more relaxed. In comparison, the injuries on his body were nothing.
Of course, he had no idea that the reason he suffered this misfortune was all because of Mu Xuanyin... in order to teach him a lesson.
Feeling relieved, Yun Che closed his eyes. As the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue was activated, the speed at which the spiritual energy from the Nether Frost Lake flowed into his body suddenly increased several times.
After just a few hours, his profound strength had been mostly restored, and his internal and external injuries had healed by more than 60%. Although he was still weak, he could hardly feel the pain.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in his Xuanmai. The four-colored Xuanqi nebula began to rotate spontaneously, and it became faster and faster. The Xuanqi in his body also flowed back to his Xuanmai at a very fast speed.
This is... a breakthrough!
The first breakthrough after Xuanli entered the divine way - it only took three and a half months!
Moreover, during this period of time, he was practicing Broken Moon Brushing Shadow, Ice Phoenix Conferred God Canon and Golden Crow Burning World Record, and almost never deliberately practiced profound energy. The accumulation and improvement of profound energy was completely dependent on the body's absorption of the spiritual energy of the Minghantian Lake. However, it only took him three and a half months to complete the leap to a small realm of the divine way!
Yun Che quickly gathered his spirit, dove into his inner consciousness, and began to welcome the first divine breakthrough in his life.
——————————————
Outside the Ice Phoenix Realm, a giant mysterious boat with long crimson wings spread out slowly came to a stop. Its presence was extremely eye-catching in the icy white world.
In front of the temple, Mu Bingyun's figure was reflected in the flash of ice light. She walked into the temple with lotus steps and saw Mu Xuanyin's figure with her back to her. Perhaps it was a coincidence, just like the previous times, she was standing beside the pool where the Nine-turn Buddha Heart Lotus had bloomed.
“Has the Flame God Realm’s Profound Ark arrived?” Mu Xuanyin said coldly.
“It’s Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai.” Mu Bingyun came to Mu Xuanyin’s side and said, “Sister, are you ready to go to the Flame God Realm with them now?”
As she spoke, she saw a flawless white flower floating in the pond where the Nine-Revolution Buddha Heart Lotus was cultivated. Its petals were like swan feathers, and it released an exceptionally gentle spiritual energy.
“Ice Feather Spirit Flower?” Mu Bingyun was surprised and looked at Mu Xuanyin with deep doubt.
This pool was built by Mu Xuanyin nine thousand years ago in order to cultivate the Nine-turn Buddha Heart Lotus. It was filled with water from the Heavenly Lake and three drops of Ice Phoenix Blood. Ice Phoenix Spiritual Qi was injected into it at regular intervals. Even its location was in the center of the core temple. Usually, there was an invisible barrier around the pool, so outsiders were not allowed to touch it, not even a speck of dust could get close.
During these nine thousand years, there was only the Nine-Turn Buddha Heart Lotus in this spiritual pond.
Today, there is an extra Ice Feather Spirit Flower! ?
If it was any other extremely high-level exotic flower, Mu Bingyun would not be too surprised. After all, the petals of the Nine-transformation Buddha Heart Lotus had been plucked, and before it could bloom again, it no longer needed strong spiritual energy. However, although the Ice Feather Spirit Flower was an extremely high-level and rare spiritual flower in the Snow Song Realm, it was not rare for them. Any plant around the Dark Frost Heavenly Lake was far superior to the Ice Feather Spirit Flower in terms of spiritual energy.
Moreover, this was just a fully blossomed flower, not a complete plant - how could it be placed in this spiritual pond filled with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Pond and the Ice Phoenix? ?
“It’s empty anyway, just throw in a flower that you like.” Mu Xuanyin turned her head away: “Since the people from the Flame God Realm have arrived, it means that the time is about right now. It just so happens that I have nothing else to do, so let’s do it today.”
Mu Xuanyin seemed to be trying to change the subject. Mu Bingyun looked deeply at the Ice Feather Spirit Flower again, and did not ask any more questions. She asked worriedly, "Are you still determined to go alone?"
“No,” Mu Xuanyin’s eyes moved slightly: “I plan to bring one more person.”
"Grand Elder?"
“Yun Che.”
“Yun Che?” Mu Bingyun was slightly startled.
“His knowledge of the God Realm is currently limited to the Snow Song Realm. It’s time to take him out to broaden his horizons.” Mu Xuanyin said indifferently, “Since he is my disciple, how can he remain ignorant?”
"..." Mu Bingyun suddenly smiled lightly: "It seems that my sister is no longer angry with him."
Mu Xuanyin snorted disdainfully: “Humph! Since he’s lucky enough to come back alive, I won’t bother to get angry with this little brat anymore.”
Mu Bingyun tilted her lips slightly and smiled silently: "The power of fire in Yun Che's body is even stronger than that of ice. Taking him to the Flame God Realm is indeed a good decision. But sister, you must be careful."
“Don’t worry.” Mu Xuanyin showed no worry. “Last time, the dragon was severely injured by me not in other parts but in the Dragon Fault. It is impossible for the Dragon Fault to recover in just a thousand years. Its threat will definitely be greatly reduced. This time, I have at least an 80% chance of killing it before it finishes shedding its scales!”
Mu Bingyun nodded slowly.
"Tell Huanzhi that during my absence, if there are any major events in the sect, he will be in charge. Unless there are major and unsolvable events, he is not allowed to send any message to me."
After Mu Xuanyin finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the hall. Just as she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and stopped. Suddenly, she flipped her palm and pushed a white light towards Mu Bingyun.
Mu Bingyun stretched out her hand and took the white light in her hand. It was her Cloud Butterfly Blade.
"elder sister……"
“No need to explain.” Mu Xuanyin said coldly, “This is the most important thing my mother left behind. It must not be given to outsiders… No one is allowed to do so! Let’s forget about it this time, and don’t do it again!”
“Yes.” Mu Bingyun put away the Cloud Butterfly Blade, feeling guilty.
Mu Xuanyin waved her hand and space suddenly split. In an instant, her figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the Minghantian Lake.
Yun Che, who was consolidating his profound strength in the Tianchi, suddenly felt that the Tianchi barrier was opening. He quickly stood up from the Tianchi. As soon as he landed on the edge of the pool, Mu Xuanyin's figure appeared in front of him.
Facing Mu Xuanyin, Yun Che was still extremely nervous and bowed quickly: “Disciple greets Master.”
Previously, he would look directly at Mu Xuanyin after bowing, but this time, he lowered his head obediently, not daring to raise it for a moment... for fear that his eyes would accidentally touch her chest.
"Follow me." Mu Xuanyin said coldly. But there was a hint of surprise in her eyes... The injury healed so quickly, and she actually made a breakthrough!
“Ah? Where to?” Yun Che asked subconsciously.
“Flame God Realm!”
Before Yun Che could react, his body suddenly felt lighter. The scene in front of him quickly changed, and he had arrived above the Ice Phoenix Realm.
At this moment, Yun Che suddenly remembered that before he entered the Mist Valley, Mu Bingyun said that people from the Flame God Realm would arrive in a few days... This meant that it was time for the ancient horned dragon in the God Burial Inferno Prison to shed its scales, and it was also time to slay the dragon!
And Mu Xuanyin was going to take him with her!
Yun Che had long been fascinated by the ancient God Burying Inferno Prison. If he could catch a glimpse of the legendary ancient horned dragon from afar, it would be an extremely rare experience.
This is of course a good thing for Yun Che.
Mu Xuanyin led Yun Che through the cold air at high speed, quickly approaching the red profound boat outside the Ice Phoenix Realm. Yun Che stole a few glances at Mu Xuanyin's back and asked weakly, "Master, is it... just the disciple and the master? Aren't Elder Huanzhi and Palace Master Bingyun coming together?"
He already knew that apart from Mu Xuanyin, the two with the strongest profound strength in the sect were Mu Huanzhi and Mu Bingyun.
Speaking of Mu Bingyun, Yun Che’s expression suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice: “Oh no!”
Mu Xuanyin: “???”
“Master!” Yun Che said in panic, “Disciple suddenly remembered that something that Palace Master Bingyun gave to disciple was accidentally lost in Mist End Valley. Disciple must inform Palace Master Bingyun immediately, otherwise…”
On that day in the Mist End Valley, Yun Che successfully stabbed the Ice Armor Giant Ape’s eye with the Cloud Butterfly Blade tempered with the Qilin Dragon Poison, but was then swept away by the Ice Armor Giant Ape’s arm, and was instantly seriously injured. The Cloud Butterfly Blade naturally flew out of his hand and disappeared.
Mu Bingyun had said personally that the Cloud Butterfly Blade was an ancestral heirloom and was undoubtedly extremely important.
“Are you talking about Cloud Butterfly Blade?” Mu Xuanyin asked coldly.
“Ah…” Yun Che opened his mouth wide: “Yes…”
"No need, I have already returned it to her for you."
“Uh…” Yun Che’s throat gurgled heavily and he said nervously, “Thank you, Master.”
Mu Xuanyin turned her beautiful eyes to the side, and suddenly flipped her palm. A flash of icy light flew towards Yun Che, and Yun Che subconsciously caught it.
What fell into his hand was a short blade that flashed with a cold light, a butterfly-wing-shaped handle, an ice-white blade, and was as light as a feather... Its shape, its aura, and its sharpness were all exactly the same as the Cloud Butterfly Blade that Mu Bingyun had given him.
The only difference is that the wings are in opposite directions.
"This is……"
“This blade is called ‘Sound Butterfly’. Since you can use it quite well, I will lend it to you for the time being.” Mu Xuanyin turned her eyes away and said in an emotionless voice, “But if you dare to lose it, I will kill you!”
Yun Che was stunned for a long while before he quickly said, “Thank you for your gift, Master. I will definitely treasure it very much.”
Yun Che carefully put away the Sound Butterfly Blade, his brain was a little confused for a moment.
Eh? Wait, how did Master know that I was very good at using it? Could it be...
Under the cold wind, the two had already left the Ice Phoenix Realm. In front of them, an abnormal burning aura was faintly heard, and the Flame Profound Boat from the Flame God Realm had also appeared in sight.
