Yun Che quickly rose upwards and soon broke through the water. He subconsciously raised his head and saw Mu Xuanyin floating quietly in the sky, with a pair of icy eyes emitting a cold and majestic aura.
Although he had been prepared, Yun Che still panicked: “Master…”
“Kneel down!”
With a cold shout, filled with deep anger, Yun Che's entire body froze, and he instantly knelt down, saying with a guilty conscience, "Master, I...know my fault."
“Admit your mistakes?” Mu Xuanyin snorted coldly. A surge of pressure and anger came from her, like an overturned ice sea, plunging the entire Tianchi world into silence. “You admit your mistakes time and time again, but you keep making them. What’s the point of admitting your mistakes? Have you ever really taken my words to heart?”
“Master, I…”
“You don’t have to quibble!” Mu Xuanyin was clearly furious. “Bingyun has already informed me of everything you did in the Eternal Heaven Realm! When you left Snow Song, I repeatedly warned you not to make decisions on your own and to minimize your presence as much as possible. But you… not only did you not listen, you also went completely against my advice and completely exposed yourself to the world. Now I’m afraid that everyone in the entire Eastern Divine Region knows your name, Yun Che… You are really very impressive!”
"If I had known this would happen, I would have... imprisoned you in the Ice Phoenix Palace instead of letting you die!"
Yun Che wanted to speak, but under Mu Xuanyin’s anger and pressure, he couldn’t breathe, and couldn’t even raise his head.
Mu Xuanyin’s words and gaze were like countless cold needles, piercing Yun Che’s heart and soul: “Is a person who left you in the past really that important to you?!”
“…” Yun Che bit his lip and whispered, “She… was once my master. She guided me in the profound way, saved my life, and changed my life… When I was in the most pain, the loneliest, the most confused, the most helpless, and the most desperate… It was always her who accompanied me all the time…”
"Her kindness to me... is just like how good my master was to me... I will never let her down for the rest of my life..."
“…”Mu Xuanyin was stunned.
The world suddenly became quiet.
Yun Che knelt on the ground again, bowed his head deeply, and did not dare to raise it. Although Mu Xuanyin was cold and harsh, and everyone in the Snow Song Realm respected and feared her, but to him... how good she was, Yun Che knew it.
He made many mistakes, even unforgivable ones, and she was clearly furious, but in the end, she forgave him. Especially in the past two years, she even completely ignored the sect's affairs and guided him in his cultivation day and night... He was extremely sure that this was absolutely incredible and incomprehensible in the cognition of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect.
But he never gave her any return, and repeatedly made her angry and disappointed.
Facing Mu Xuanyin at this moment, he felt an endless amount of guilt in his heart... He felt that he was no longer worthy of being her disciple, and was unworthy of all her kindness to him.
On the surface of the pool, the ice spirit that had been sealed for a long time suddenly began to dance gently. The icy cold seemed to dissipate a little.
“Unfortunately, she doesn’t even want to see you!” Mu Xuanyin said coldly: “Since you are back, then stay in the Holy Temple honestly. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take a single step out! After a few years, when the Eastern Divine Region has forgotten your existence, go back to your Blue Pole Star!”
“…Master,” Yun Che lowered his head, “I came back this time to find a force that can make me stronger in a short period of time. Then, I will return to… the Conferred God Battle.”
Yun Che spoke very softly and slowly, with each word filled with guilt, yet extremely resolute.
“Oh… is that so?” Mu Xuanyin’s brows slightly darkened: “You really still want to see her.”
“No…” Yun Che shook his head: “Not only do I want to see her, I also have something to tell her in person. I want her to know… no matter what she encounters, I will face it with her.”
“Just… just… you!?” Mu Xuanyin’s voice was cold and disdainful.
"Of course I can't do that now. I don't even have the qualifications. If I force myself to be with her, I will only become a burden. However, I want her to know that I will become stronger for her. She wants to use the Conferred Gods War to drive me away, but I... will use the Conferred Gods War to prove my determination to her!"
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
“Master…” Yun Che continued softly, “I just realized last night that I have been wrong all along. I have been wrong from the very beginning.”
"From the first day I arrived at the Snow Song Realm, I kept telling myself that the purpose of my coming to the God Realm was to find her. I worked hard to become powerful in order to find her. And in the process, I kept telling myself that finding her was the only purpose of my coming to the God Realm. I never belonged here. The Blue Pole Star was my only home... Perhaps, this was because I always felt humble in front of the vast God Realm, and I only thought that after I fulfilled my wish, I would never set foot here again."
“It was also under this kind of self-suggestion that I never really thought about gaining a foothold in the God Realm, let alone reaching a height that everyone would look up to like I did on the Blue Pole Star.”
"But I always forget that the reason she had to leave me was because I was too insignificant."
"If I could become strong enough, strong enough to protect her, fight alongside her, and shield her from the wind and rain... at least, I could make her stop worrying about me. How could someone take her away from me? How could... even meeting her be so difficult?"
“What hindered me and her was never the distance between the lower realm and the king realm… but my insignificance.” Yun Che closed his eyes, and his voice was as ethereal as mist.
Mu Xuanyin listened quietly. Every word of these words seemed to be the self-narration of Yun Che’s soul, but her eyes did not change at all: “So? Are you going to use this Profound God Conference to prove it to her? Let her know how devoted you are to her, and make her grateful to you!?”
“No… there is also myself.” Yun Che said: “If, after only three short years in the God Realm, I can look down upon others in this Conferred God Battle, then… what reason do I have not to continue to grow stronger!”
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
“The Evil God’s Profound Veins, the Power of the Wild God, the Body of the Dragon God, the Sky Poison Pearl… In the God Realm, I have always regarded these as hidden dangers buried in my body that cannot be detected by others, but… they are actually great advantages bestowed upon me by God!”
Mu Xuanyin was not moved at all. She snorted coldly, “That’s truly a ‘great’ realization. Unfortunately… I remember that you would not stay in the God Realm for more than five years. Now three years have passed, and there are only two years left. Even if you have a tenfold advantage, what can you do!”
"Within two years, I will definitely go back."
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
“But, that doesn’t mean I won’t come back.” Yun Che raised his head at this moment and looked directly into Mu Xuanyin’s icy eyes: “Because, Blue Pole Star is no longer my only hometown and home. Because of Master, I have become a person of the God Realm… At least, I already belong to the Snow Song Realm.”
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
"Master and she are both the reasons why I want to stay in the God Realm. It has been like this for a long time, but I just didn't realize it. So... I will return to Blue Pole Star from the God Realm, and I will also return to the God Realm from Blue Pole Star. When I am not strong enough, I want to always be by Master's side and enjoy the protection of Master's wings. If one day I can become strong enough as I wish, I want to protect Master and Yinxue for the rest of my life. Anyone who dares to hurt Master will be my enemy for life."
“…………”
When their eyes met, Mu Xuanyin suddenly glanced to the side, then turned around and said in a cold voice, "You have only reached the Divine Tribulation level, yet you are still acting foolishly and only know how to talk big."
"You should think more about how to protect your own life. I won't be reduced to the point where I need you to protect me!"
Yun Che: “…”
Mu Xuanyin raised her head and suddenly sighed: "Why do I, Mu Xuanyin... have a disciple like you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her jade arms and swung her snow-white sleeves behind her: "Eat this!"
Five different lights suddenly shone before Yun Che’s eyes.
The source of this light is a small round bead, which is crystal clear, similar to colored glaze, but emits a light and aura that is completely different from colored glaze.
Red, green, white, blue, and emerald... the five kinds of light sometimes overlapped, sometimes separated, and shone in turn. The aura was also constantly changing, sometimes turbid, sometimes fresh, sometimes hot, and sometimes cold... but it was not strong, and miraculously it was not overwhelmed by the extremely cold air of the Nether Frost Lake.
Yun Che slowly opened his eyes: "Could this be..."
“Qian Kun Wu Qiong Dan!” Mu Xuanyin turned around at this time. Her beautiful face, as cold as the eternal snow, had regained its indifference. “Although your Sky Poison Pearl has a powerful tempering power and can easily refine countless pills, Qian Kun Wu Qiong Dan requires a powerful profound force to guide the five forces to fuse. Your Sky Poison Pearl cannot do it! It took me a year to fuse it.”
One of the things Yun Che was looking for when he came back this time was the Qiankun Wuqiong Pill.
Back then, he had found all five materials for refining Qiankun Wuqiongdan, but Mu Xuanyin took them all away, asking him to achieve the Divine Tribulation Realm through his own practice. This time, he came back to get these materials back from Mu Xuanyin, and then get the refining method, so that he could refine Qiankun Wuqiongdan with the Sky Poison Pearl.
It was at this moment that he realized that Qiankun Wuqiong Pill could not be tempered like ordinary pills, but required powerful profound energy to guide the fusion...
Moreover, even someone as strong as Mu Xuanyin took a whole year to achieve the fusion.
Perhaps, this was the real reason why Mu Xuanyin took away all the materials.
She had used up a large amount of her profound energy to fuse it, and then took it out directly at this moment, which clearly meant... this was originally prepared for him.
Something soft touched his heart, and Yun Che couldn’t help but feel a sour feeling between his brows: “Master…”
“Stop talking nonsense and sit down!” Mu Xuanyin did not give him a chance to speak. She scolded him coldly and appeared in front of Yun Che with a flash of snow-white shadow. “Take out the ‘Time Wheel Bead’ that you got in the Eternal Heaven Realm!”
“Ah… yes.”
Yun Che quickly adjusted himself to a sitting position, calmed his mind and breath, then took out the “Time Wheel Bead” and placed it in Mu Xuanyin’s snow-white palm.
Mu Xuanyin exhaled a little profound energy from his palm, and the Time Wheel Bead shattered directly. An invisible barrier suddenly opened up, covering the two of them and separating them into two different worlds.
The Kalachakra barrier will last for one month.
During this month, only a short hour will pass outside the Time Wheel barrier.

[I spent a whole day writing this chapter, and I edited and deleted it 34 times? I simulated the mentality and words according to the character's personality and environment, trying to write Yun Che's enlightenment and changes in mentality... but it is still quite unsatisfactory. Sigh, it's already afternoon before I know it, it's so difficult... Just make do with it!! ]
