The next morning, the newly built square in the town was gradually filled with people.
The Liling Clan Chief looked at Danbing Li standing in front of the Ice Emperor statue and breathed a sigh of relief: "If these two young people hadn't come out soon, I would have had to swallow my pride and go to invite them myself."
His gaze fell on Dan Bingli's dark circles under her eyes, and a pang of heartache shot through him. This child must have spent a sleepless night, enduring countless struggles.
Subconsciously, he glanced at Qin Luo, his eyes filled with both heartache for Dan Bingli and a scrutiny of Qin Luo.
Sensing the gaze of the Liling Clan Chief, Qin Luo realized something. His lips tightened; it seemed he was going to have to take the blame for this.
The square was bustling with people, including many from other forces on the continent. However, the continent's ruler had ordered that the peace here not be disrupted, so they were just curious to witness the ceremony.
"So this is the girl who is going to inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy. She looks like a beauty with fair skin and delicate bones."
"With her late-stage Divine Travel Realm cultivation, her strength is only so-so. I wonder if she can successfully inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy."
......
Just as the crowd began to murmur, a blue light emanated from the Ice Emperor statue and enveloped Dan Bingli.
In an instant, the same light spot appeared on Dan Bingli's forehead, the dark blue light echoing each other, and as the two intersected, an ancient aura spread out from the void.
The surrounding air was stirred up by this aura, becoming thick and viscous, causing gasps of surprise from the crowd, who involuntarily stepped back.
Then, fine cracks began to appear on the Ice Emperor statue, and the cracks quickly spread and covered the entire statue.
Bang!
With a muffled roar, the Ice Emperor statue shattered, sending countless ice shards flying.
But the ice shards didn't fall to the ground; instead, they formed a nearly transparent portal, with ripples spreading across it and radiating an extremely low temperature that sent chills down one's spine.
The low temperature lifted Dan Bingli up and sent her towards the door.
At the last moment before Dan Bingli entered, she used all her strength to turn around, her gaze piercing through the deep blue light and the crowd, looking at Qin Luo.
At this moment, the longing in her eyes was filled with a thousand words, a glance that seemed to last a lifetime.
Once the ripples subsided, the portal high in the sky disappeared once more.
Seeing this, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the noise in the square also dissipated, leaving Qin Luo standing alone, his gaze still fixed on the now-vanished transparent portal, which he did not look away from for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the patriarch of the Liling Clan arrived beside Qin Luo, his expression complex.
"Don't worry too much. This inheritance is an opportunity left by our ancestors. Bing'er will be safe and sound once she gains recognition."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo withdrew his gaze from the doorway, and his deep eyes calmed down.
He was naturally aware of what the Liling Clan Chief had said. He had just been wondering why the system's response hadn't sounded yet. Did he have to wait until Bingli had fully accepted the inheritance?
Seeing Qin Luo come to his senses, the Liling Clan Chief looked up at the dark sky in the distance.
A moment later, he turned his head and his gaze fell on Qin Luo.
"Ahem, child." The Liling Clan Chief coughed twice and said slowly, "Is there still a thorny matter you haven't resolved?"
Qin Luo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what the Li Ling Clan Chief was implying. His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the darkness a hundred miles away.
The dark sky seemed to sense Qin Luo's gaze, growing even more profound and deep. The thick darkness surged and rolled like ink, as if urging Qin Luo to make a decision quickly.
However, Qin Luo withdrew his gaze the next moment. This action caused large swaths of snow to melt on the innocent snow-covered mountains a hundred miles away, under the command of a certain crazy and beautiful woman, and avalanches erupted one after another.
Snowflakes filled the sky, obscuring the sun and shrouding everything around the snow-capped mountains in a white expanse.
Since coming out, Qin Luo had seen that conspicuous black curtain, but he felt that it hadn't been exposed enough.
He was really worried about You Yueying's lack of a system investment quota. If he couldn't make her deeply regretful this time, he was afraid that the same thing as Dan Bingli would happen again several more times.
This is something Qin Luo can't handle, so the matter of You Yueying needs to be dealt with slowly.
"The clan chief is absolutely right. It was my oversight. I will arrange this matter as soon as possible. Please do not worry too much."
Seeing this, the Liling Clan Chief wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded, his eyes filled with expectation, and then he walked away with steady steps.
......
And so, another month passed.
The snow-covered area within a hundred miles of Qin Luo's residence was covered by a massive spirit array.
Countless streams of spiritual energy poured down from the sky within the formation, resembling an inverted spiritual river.
The cascading spiritual energy was mottled and varied, with noble and mysterious purple radiance, emerald radiating intense heat, profound silver radiance, azure of extreme cold, and finally, pure white.
However, these mottled and uneven spiritual energies flowed into the sea of qi of the man sitting cross-legged in the residence without any conflict, and the speed at which they flowed was terrifying.
The vast, pouring spiritual energy poured down without stopping, continuously replenishing Qin Luo's Qi Sea.
Only after the last trace of spiritual energy surged into his dantian did Qin Luo exhale a breath of turbid air and open his eyes.
"Whoosh~"
"Not bad. My Qi Sea is now more than 80% full. One more return and I can start working on breaking through the Soul Tribulation."
