Gazing into her eyes, which were filled with his own reflection, Qin Luo felt a surge of emotions.
Although he was moved, he did not forget his business. He knew that Dan Bingli was in a rare emotional state at this moment, which was the perfect opportunity to get her to take the initiative to talk about the Ice Emperor's descendants.
So, Qin Luo cautiously asked in a soft voice:
"Bingli, now that we have been completely honest with each other, shouldn't you tell me about the things you've been carrying for so long? I know you've been working so hard all this time for some kind of commitment, but I've never seen a single sign of weakness in your eyes."
"It's as if you've never been living for yourself, but for a mission, or to protect a vital secret."
“I can feel it driving you forward, not allowing you to stop for even a moment. That’s why I don’t want you to bear all of this alone. I want to face it with you, no matter what difficulties and obstacles there may be, but only if I know the whole truth.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli instantly sobered up. The lust in her eyes was extinguished by a bucket of cold water, quickly dissipating and replaced by extreme panic.
The way it looked, it seemed, was that the happiness that had been held in the palm of her hand was about to shatter and disappear like a bubble.
Her lips trembled slightly, and then she pleaded in an almost humble tone:
"Qin Luo, please don't ask anymore, okay? I promise I won't leave you, I'll always stay by your side and never abandon you."
However, Qin Luo keenly noticed the fleeting, well-hidden pain in Dan Bingli's eyes as she spoke.
After she finished speaking, Qin Luo sighed almost imperceptibly, not looking at her ashamed eyes, but gazing at the distant clouds.
Seeing Qin Luo's reaction, Dan Bingli became increasingly flustered and helpless. She wanted to explain but didn't know how to start, and her delicate body trembled continuously.
Just then, Qin Luo slowly said:
"As far as I know, it is said that the Ice Emperor perished in ancient times, and the bloodline he left behind was divided into three races: the Ice Spirit Clan, the Frost Spirit Clan, and the Glass Spirit Clan."
"It is said that the three remaining clans were born with the talent to control ice and cold, and all of them were born with skin as white as ice and bones as blue as jade, with blue eyes and blue hair."
"But as time went by, these three races gradually went into seclusion, and the legends about them became increasingly rare. Many people only knew their names but never saw them. Some even doubted whether this race had quietly become extinct in the long river of history."
"Bingli, do you have anything to say about this?"
After saying that, Qin Luo gently patted her increasingly trembling body, offering silent comfort.
Dan Bingli's eyes were filled with panic, and she bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to control her emotions.
After a long silence, she said with a complicated expression:
"You...you knew all of this?"
"Yes and no. It's just that your features are too obvious, so I was curious and looked it up in the Lingyuan Sect."
"Bingli, don't panic. I'm just recounting some legends from the past. No matter what your connection to these is, my feelings for you will not change."
As his broad, warm hands gently patted down, Dan Bingli could clearly feel the warmth of his palms seeping through her clothes, soothing her trembling body. That warmth continuously dispelled the unease deep within her heart, giving her the most solid support.
With this gentle pat, Dan Bingli's hands, which were wrapped around his waist, slowly moved upwards with a hint of tenderness and finally gently rested on Qin Luo's chest.
After a long silence, he finally made that incredibly difficult decision.
Nestled in that harbor-like embrace, Dan Bingli had completely shed her usual icy exterior, exuding a gentle aura that was entirely different from her usual self.
She raised her head, her gaze somewhat unfocused, and looked at Qin Luo, saying softly:
"Qin Luo, you're right, I am a member of the Li Ling clan, one of the three remaining clans."
"In ancient times, our ancestors perished, leaving our Ice Emperor clan without the protection of top-tier warriors. As a result, more and more people began to covet the legacy left behind by our ancestors—the Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's mind went blank.
He was no longer a novice in cultivation. After arriving at Lingyuan Sect, he took advantage of his spare time to brush up on a lot of knowledge about the Saint Realm.
Upon reaching the Saint Realm, the Qi Sea within the body will shatter at the Dantian, and then, in reality, one will create their own Origin Sea, based on the scale of the original Qi Sea.
Once the Origin Sea is opened, with the help of the Origin Spirit Liquid, one can condense their divine soul into a unique saintly dharma form.
Saintly Dharma forms also vary in quality. In the myriad worlds, although the vast majority of saints can only condense ordinary Dharma forms, among the top forces, there are still some exceptionally talented individuals who can condense more powerful and unique Dharma forms.
These extraordinary forms often contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. Once unleashed, their power is earth-shattering, capable of overturning rivers and seas, shattering the void, and even changing the course of battle at crucial moments, becoming the key factor in determining victory or defeat.
Their shapes are also incredibly diverse...
The Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image is one of them. Among the 199 Dharma Images of Saints recorded in the myriad worlds, the Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image ranks 30th!
It should be noted that among these 199 levels of saintly Dharma forms, the top 36 saintly Dharma forms all share the same characteristic, which is uniqueness.
In other words, there is only one possibility of each of these first thirty-six Dharma characteristics existing in the world, and there will be no duplicates.
They are unique manifestations of the rules of heaven and earth, carrying a unique power.
"No wonder a supreme expert attacked the Primordial Ice Emperor Clan in the simulation. This level of Dharma Aspect is something that even I, let alone a supreme expert, can't help but be tempted by."
Qin Luo sighed inwardly, while Dan Bingli's soft voice continued to echo:
"Out of necessity, in order to avoid suspicion, we were forced to split into three groups and live a life of hiding everywhere."
“From the time I became aware of things, my life consisted only of repairing, cultivating, and cultivating again. Because I am the most talented person in this generation of the Liling Clan, the elders of the clan have high hopes for me and have placed the heavy responsibility of having the opportunity to inherit the Primordial Ice Flower Dharma on my shoulders.”
"They searched for all sorts of rare spiritual herbs and medicines for me, and looked for cultivation techniques and secret manuals suitable for me, all in order to help me grow quickly. However, the Liling Clan, after countless years of fleeing, has long since fallen into decline, and has very few resources left. The cultivation assistance they can provide for me is just a drop in the ocean and is far from meeting my needs for rapid growth."
