Leng Yuexi followed Bing Luan into the Ice Palace.
The ice palace wasn't as cold as it was outside; she felt that the spiritual energy inside was much denser than outside.
Inside this ice palace, there is also a statue of Leng Yuexi, which is enshrined.
The statue of Leng Yuexi is even more aloof and detached from worldly affairs, like a peerless immortal.
Leng Yuexi stared blankly at the statue. Wasn't this her? How could there be a statue of her here?
The majestic and aloof Ice Queen has now transformed into a girl next door, and she instinctively wants to take Leng Yuexi's hand.
Leng Yuexi naturally dodged away; she wasn't that familiar with the Ice Emperor yet.
The Ice Emperor was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and did not insist on taking Leng Yuexi's hand.
"Sister, you really don't remember anything?"
Leng Yuexi nodded, "Yes, but this ice palace feels a bit familiar to me. I've seen this image in my mind before."
Ice Emperor pouted his cute little lips and explained:
"Of course I'm familiar with it. You built this place especially for me to help me cultivate. Not only me, but all the ice-attribute spirit beasts in the vicinity have benefited from it and regard it as a sacred place."
Leng Yuexi was completely dumbfounded and extremely surprised. "What did you say? I built this ice palace?"
Ice Emperor nodded his little head and affirmed:
"Yes, who else could it be but you? You casually pointed and a palace was built on this mountain peak."
The mountain peak has now been transformed into a snow-covered peak.
It turns out that all the monsters that disliked the cold had moved away, leaving only these ice-attribute monsters.
I remember when I was a little sparrow, you said I had the blood of the Ice Phoenix, that we were destined to be together, and that you bestowed upon me a great fortune.
That's why I've achieved what I have today; otherwise, I'd still be a tiny ice sparrow, and might already be eaten.
Then the Ice Emperor said somewhat sheepishly, "However, I'm rather slow-witted, and I haven't reached the Emperor Realm yet."
Leng Yuexi fell into deep thought after hearing the Ice Emperor's words, but no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember.
She shook her head helplessly. "Then how did I leave?"
Ice Emperor recalled, "Back then you said you had something to do and that you might not be back for a long time, but you really didn't come back for many years."
Leng Yuexi nodded; she had no recollection of it at all. She looked in the direction that had called her.
That was a special area of the Ice Palace, as if it were being sealed off or protected.
The Ice Emperor noticed her gaze and immediately slapped his forehead.
"Oh, right, sister, before you left you told me to take good care of it and not let anyone take it away. This ice palace can help it recover."
Leng Yuexi became even more curious, a little nervous, and full of anticipation, "Can I take a look at it?"
Ice Emperor nodded without hesitation, "Of course, this was originally yours."
Leng Yuexi was very happy to hear that permission had been granted.
The Ice Emperor sensed her cultivation level and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
Leng Yuexi also noticed her unusual behavior and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Just say what's on your mind."
Ice Emperor nodded and spoke up anyway.
"Hmm, sister, how come your cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage? The cold air inside is very oppressive; I'm afraid you might not be able to withstand it."
It's deep inside, where the temperature is extremely cold, and I'm a little worried.
Leng Yuexi sensed her concern and smiled at her, "Let's go take a look first."
Without further hesitation, the Ice Emperor took Leng Yuexi with him.
As soon as Leng Yuexi approached, she felt the terrifying chill of the place; even her Nascent Soul stage body couldn't withstand it.
She frowned. What was she going to do now? The thing that was calling her was inside.
"Um, Xiao Luan, can you help me?"
Bingluan nodded. "It's possible, but I can't get close to it. It's very exclusive, and the cold aura it emits has become increasingly intense in the past two years. I can hardly stand it."
Leng Yuexi was very surprised, "You've reached the Emperor Realm and you still can't handle it?"
Bingluan nodded, "Yes, that's why even if I'm at the Emperor Realm, I can't be arrogant. I don't even have the qualifications to get close to it."
Leng Yuexi looked ahead and took a deep breath. "Please try your best to bring me closer."
Without hesitation, Bingluan led her slowly deeper into the area, where a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
Leng Yuexi felt the biting cold; without Bingluan's protection, she would have frozen solid after taking only two steps.
However, this only fueled her curiosity.
This calling was recent, especially after she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, this feeling became even stronger, even urgent.
That's why Leng Yuexi made up her mind to leave Qin Feng and come here on her own.
The deeper you go, the closer you get, the lower the temperature becomes, enough to freeze a person to death, and icicles begin to appear on the road surface.
After walking for some time, even Bingluan from the Imperial Realm was starting to feel exhausted, as she still had to protect Leng Yuexi.
Leng Yuexi naturally noticed Bingluan's condition as well, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Little Luan, if it's not working out, then let it go. Don't force yourself."
Bingluan was very stubborn. "Sister, don't worry, I can hold on a little longer."
Leng Yuexi also wanted to see what it was, and seeing this, she asked her for help.
As they drew closer, it grew colder and colder, and their steps slowed, each one feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.
They felt the unusual cold, as if they were in an ancient ice cave, their bodies stiff with cold.
To make matters worse, there was no road ahead; it was blocked by thick ice.
They must break through this ice if they want to move forward.
After persisting for a while, Bingluan finally stopped and said bitterly, "Sister, I can't go on. This is the last place I can go."
Leng Yuexi smiled wryly. She knew that Bingluan had done her best, and through this incident, she had come to appreciate Bingluan more.
She glanced towards the depths of the ice cave, then shook her head helplessly. This feeling of being so close yet having it was truly annoying.
She comforted her, "Thank you, Xiao Luan, let's go back."
Bingluan agreed and prepared to walk back.
Suddenly, the surrounding chill dissipated, and a clear, resonant sword cry rang out from the depths of the ice cave.
Both Leng Yuexi and Bing Luan could feel the joy contained in the sword's cry.
Bingluan cried out in alarm, "What should we do? It looks like it's about to come out, sister. You might not be able to control it right now."
Leng Yuexi remained calm; she had a gut feeling that it wouldn't harm her. Her eyes lit up; if she couldn't get in, it was fine if it came out.
Click.
They heard the sound of ice breaking.
A swift sword shadow flew in like lightning, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being cut through. The ice blocks that even the Ice Phoenix would have to work hard to cut through were effortlessly sliced by this sword.
It excitedly approached Leng Yuexi, like someone who had been separated from their family for many years suddenly seeing a loved one.
Bingluan was filled with worry and unease.
Leng Yuexi remained calm. She slowly extended her palm, and the sword shadow transformed into a transparent sword that fell into her hand.
