Ping!!!
A clear, loud, and piercing sound of breaking rang out, almost spreading throughout the entire Tianjian Villa. All the Tianjian disciples who were practicing sword skills, and even the elders, subconsciously covered their ears, trying their best to suppress the uncomfortable feeling that penetrated their hearts, and looked at the source of the sound with surprise.
The Tianjian Ancestral Temple, located at the core of Tianjian Villa, can be said to be the most sacred place in the entire Tianjian Villa. With a burst of hurried footsteps, the door of the ancestral temple was pushed open, and Ling Yuefeng stepped into the ancestral temple. At a glance, he saw Ling Tianni, who was obviously in seclusion, standing beside a jade platform on the right side of the ancestral temple.
"Yuefeng, you're here." Ling Tianni didn't look back, still silently looking at the jade platform in front of him. "Father, what happened?" Ling Yuefeng walked over quickly. The strange sound just now was definitely not ordinary, and the source of the sound was here. Now that he saw his father who had been in seclusion for a year actually appeared here, he knew that things might be more complicated than expected.
As soon as he finished speaking, his sight suddenly fell on the jade platform that Ling Tianni was facing… Ever since he could remember, there had always been a one-foot-long, ice-blue jade bead placed on this jade platform. This jade bead had no aura, and the only difference was that it would release a faint ice-blue light at night.
I learned from Ling Tianni that this jade bead is called "Ice Song Glaze", which was given to Tianjian Mountain Villa by Bingyun ancestor Mu Bingyun when Tianjian Mountain Villa was first built a thousand years ago. As for its function, Ling Tianni did not tell him, and he never took it to heart.
But now, this piece of "Ice Chant Colored Glaze" is no longer there, and instead, there is a pile of fragments that look like ice crystals covering the jade table.
"The sound just now... was it because this piece of 'Ice Chant Glaze' broke?" Ling Yuefeng asked. If it was just a jade bead that broke, even if it was something left by the ancestors, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Ling Tianni didn't hesitate to break through the barrier and his face was extremely solemn. He knew that things were not that simple.
“Alas.” Ling Tianni sighed heavily and said, “Something big has happened in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… It’s a catastrophe that’s enough to destroy the palace.”
"What?" Ling Yuefeng's eyebrows jumped suddenly.
Ling Tianni said slowly: "This 'Ice Chant Colored Glass' was given to our Heavenly Sword Ancestor by our Ice Cloud Ancestor Mu Bingyun a thousand years ago, but its significance is by no means a gift. Back then, when our Heavenly Sword Ancestor Mu Bingyun gave it to us, he said this: A thousand years later, the Ice Cloud Palace will surely encounter a catastrophe. When this Ice Chant Colored Glass is broken, that will be the time when the Ice Cloud Palace will encounter a catastrophe..."
"In other words... Ancestor Bingyun hopes that when this day comes, our Tianjian Villa can lend a helping hand?" Ling Yuefeng said.
Ling Tianni nodded, "That's right. This 'Ice Chanting Glaze' is connected to the 'Ice and Snow Goddess's Curtain', the final forbidden formation of the Ice Cloud Palace. The 'Ice and Snow Goddess's Curtain' was set up by the Ice Cloud Ancestor alone. It is a forbidden formation that will only be opened when the Ice Cloud Palace is forced into a truly desperate situation. Once the 'Ice Chanting Glaze' is broken and emits a long chant, it means that the 'Ice and Snow Goddess's Curtain' has been opened. For the next seven days, the Ice Cloud Palace will be under the protection of the 'Ice and Snow Goddess'. Back then, the Ice Cloud Palace hoped that when this day comes, Tianjian Villa will be able to lend a helping hand within seven days."
"Seven days..." Ling Yuefeng's face showed a complicated expression: "If the opponent can make Bingyun Immortal Palace fall into a desperate situation, then the opponent's strength must be extremely powerful, perhaps, it will be a Tyrant Emperor level figure. The Ice Cloud Ancestor and my Heavenly Sword Ancestor were both high-level thrones at the beginning. The highest level of the protective profound formation she set up is also the Emperor Profound Level. If she really encounters a Tyrant Emperor level enemy, she should be vulnerable, not to mention the protection for seven days... Even if we help now, it will take several days to reach Bingyun Immortal Palace... There is no way we can make it in time, right? What's more, the current situation of Blue Wind Country..."
“No…” Before Ling Yuefeng could finish, Ling Tianni interrupted him: “If it was really as you said, why would I hesitate so much?”
Ling Tianni remained silent for a long time. He turned around and faced Ling Yuefeng: "Yuefeng, I wanted to tell you about some things about Bingyun Immortal Palace before my life was about to end, but the day of Bingyun Immortal Palace's great calamity has arrived, and it involves the trust of Bingyun ancestors back then... You are the owner of Tianjian Manor, and the decision on how to do it is up to you, so these things must be told to you now."
“…Could it be that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace…has some hidden secret unknown to the world?” Looking at Ling Tianni’s solemn expression, Ling Yuefeng said solemnly.
“It’s not Bingyun Immortal Palace that has the secret, but its ancestor… Mu Bingyun.” Ling Tianni said slowly: “Bingyun Immortal Palace will be absolutely safe in the next seven days. Because once the ‘Veil of the Ice and Snow Goddess’ is opened, no one in the world can break through. Even if the four holy places of Huangji Holy Land, Supreme Ocean Palace, Sun and Moon Palace, and Tianwei Sword Domain join forces, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through.”
"What?" Ling Yuefeng was shocked. "How... how is this possible? Even if the Saint Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Heavenly Monarch, and the Sword Master joined forces and put in their best efforts, it would be impossible to create such a powerful profound formation... How could Ancestor Bingyun, as a high-level throne, have such ability... Could it be that he used some extremely powerful treasure?"
Ling Tianni shook his head again and raised his head slightly. His expression was filled with a kind of completely subconscious admiration: "Wrong... The strength of Bingyun Ancestor Mu Bingyun is far from what you and the world know."
Ling Yuefeng: “…”
"Thousands of years ago, when our Tianjian Villa had not yet been built, Bingyun Immortal Palace already existed. At that time, our Tianjian ancestor traveled all over Cangfeng, challenging all the masters of Cangfeng, and never lost. Later, he learned about the existence of Bingyun Immortal Palace and challenged Bingyun Palace Master Mu Bingyun... The ancestor thought that the battle was a sure thing, but he was defeated by Mu Bingyun... Those who have heard about what happened back then know that our ancestor fought with Bingyun ancestor for a long time and was defeated, but the real situation left by our ancestor is that he was defeated by Mu Bingyun in one move."
"This..." In shock, Ling Yuefeng's pupils couldn't help but shrink for a moment.
"The Ice Extreme Snow Region was not once called the Ice Extreme Snow Region, because there was almost no rain or snow there, only endless desolation and extreme cold. But a thousand years ago, there was a heavy snowfall that lasted for seven days and seven nights, and from then on, the snow covered a thousand miles, and then the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace was built... The ancestors left a record: the heavy snow that lasted for seven days and seven nights was caused by Mu Bingyun."
Ling Yuefeng: “!!!!”
"The strength of Bingyun Ancestor Mu Bingyun is unfathomable. The description left by the ancestor is Mu Bingyun's strength, which is simply beyond his comprehension. And these are all secrets that the ancestor swore to Bingyun Ancestor never to tell others. Because Bingyun Ancestor founded Bingyun Immortal Palace with the original intention of rescuing some women with tragic fates and homelessness, and he did not want the world to notice their existence."
"..." Ling Yuefeng's brain was confused. Tianjian Villa was the most powerful force in the proud Cangfeng. Thousands of years ago, the ancestor who founded Tianjian Villa was the most powerful in the world. He was invincible and was recognized as the strongest in the Cangfeng. Only the direct descendants in the villa knew that he had been defeated by Bingyun's ancestor Mu Bingyun... but it was only a narrow defeat.
But no one could have imagined that Bingyun's ancestor Mu Bingyun was such a terrifying existence back then.
Defeating the Tianjian ancestor with one move... If she had ambitions, how could Tianjian Villa dominate Cangfeng for a thousand years.
"What is the origin of the Bingyun Ancestor? Could it be... that he is from the Four Sacred Lands like our ancestors?" Ling Yuefeng asked with a look of amazement on his face. Such a powerful person could only be from the Four Sacred Lands.
“No.” Ling Tianni still shook his head: “No one knows her origins, not even our ancestors. Not only her people, but also the profound art she used back then… the Frozen End Divine Art, which is extremely powerful, but no one has ever heard of it. Not to mention our ancestors back then, even until today, even the Four Sacred Grounds, no one knows where the Frozen End Divine Art came from.”
"The 'Heavenly Might Sword Art' that we practice in Tianjian Villa comes from the Heavenly Mighty Sword Region. Our ancestors said that the 'Ice End Divine Art' of our ancestor Bingyun is far more powerful than the 'Heavenly Might Sword Art' and is in no way inferior to the core profound arts of the four sacred places. And for a profound art to reach such a level, it would take at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years of foundation and inheritance. However, Mu Bingyun's 'Ice End Divine Art' is like it fell from the sky. Even if we look through thousands of years of history, there has never been a trace of it."
“Because the level of the ‘Frozen End Divine Art’ was too high, none of the female disciples that Mu Bingyun accepted at that time had bad aptitudes, but none of them could master it. So Mu Bingyun created the ‘Frozen Cloud Art’… Although the ‘Frozen Cloud Art’ is weaker than the Frozen End Divine Art, it is definitely a top-notch profound art in Cangfeng, and even in the entire Profound Sky Continent. And it took Mu Bingyun only seven days to create this profound art.”
"..." Ling Yuefeng was speechless for a long time, and then he asked in confusion: "If Ancestor Bingyun is really so strong, and even close to the realm of the Saint Land Elders, then why is her life span so short? If she reaches that realm, shouldn't she have a life span of thousands of years?"
Ling Tianni closed his eyes: "No one knows this. According to the Ice Cloud Palace, the ancestor Bingyun passed away in the Ice End Temple in the palace. The ancestor who knew Mu Bingyun's strength went to the Ice Cloud Palace to confirm this. He learned that Mu Bingyun disappeared in the Ice End Temple as a cloud of icy mist. He did not leave behind a body. All that was left were some words."
“Since we didn’t see her body, our ancestors always suspected that Mu Bingyun had not passed away… But the ‘Ice Song Glaze’ she left to our ancestors also meant that she would indeed be unable to protect Bingyun Immortal Palace in the future, and there was a possibility that she no longer existed in this world… Therefore, whether Mu Bingyun was alive or dead, our ancestors could not completely let go until they passed away.”
"But a thousand years have passed, and there is no trace of Mu Bingyun in the world. She must have passed away. She gave it to our ancestor Bing Yin Liuli because she must have realized that her life was coming to an end. Otherwise, with her ability, why would she need to take the initiative to ask for help from Tianjian Villa?"
“After the death of Ancestor Bingyun, the original intention of Bingyun Immortal Palace has been changing. When Ancestor Bingyun founded Bingyun Immortal Palace, he only took in some helpless women. But even though Mu Bingyun was no longer in Bingyun Immortal Palace, the power of Bingyun Jue still made its reputation gradually flourish. New disciples gradually stopped considering loneliness and helplessness as the only criterion, and each generation became more and more strict, until finally, aptitude and appearance became the primary conditions…”
"This change is understandable." Ling Yuefeng said: "All the people in Bingyun Immortal Palace are women, and they are easily coveted and bullied, so what they must do is to make their overall strength stronger. Only in this way can they protect everyone in the Immortal Palace."
“You are right.” Ling Tianni said slowly, “The constant changes have made the current Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace no longer the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace that our ancestors knew a thousand years ago. However, before our ancestors passed away, they requested that this piece of Ice Chant Glaze remain in the ancestral hall until the day it was broken. This means that our ancestors attached great importance to and insisted on the promise they made back then.”
“Now, Cang Feng’s fate is about to end, and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has just encountered a catastrophe at this time. Should we continue to close the villa and not intervene in external affairs, or should we follow the promise of our ancestors and lend a helping hand to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… The former is to preserve the thousand-year foundation from falling into chaos, but will lose trust and morality; the latter is for trust and morality, but may bring disaster to the villa…”
