With the disguise of the main god, no one could see that there was something wrong with the soul inside the original body. Si Beihan naturally wouldn't have discovered that his disciple had already run away, and that only the system was actually listening to the lesson.
Having left the sect and freed from systemic surveillance, Yu Ling had long since reverted to her former self, with ankle-length snow-white hair and an androgynous, exquisitely beautiful face that seemed almost unreal. She too had squeezed her soul into the immortal sword, having no connection whatsoever to rebirth, so her mood was naturally far from pleasant, and her icy expression only added to her allure.
What would happen if a stunningly beautiful woman, seemingly possessing an unclaimed immortal sword, walked down the street?
Those with insufficient cultivation won't be able to see it, but those who can will naturally want to add it to their possession. The combination of a sword and a beauty is worth it no matter how you use it!
There were people who tried to chat her up, but Yu Ling would just beat them up. If she could beat them, she would fight; if she couldn't, she would run away. But the direction she was heading was towards the extreme cold. If her cultivation level wasn't high enough, she would make up for it by taking shortcuts. If the broken branches she had scattered could go to the lower realm, then there must be a way to connect the two places.
He had only intended to try his luck, but unexpectedly, Yu Ling's prediction came true. However, it was a little different from what he had imagined. The people guarding the border were not true immortals who traded spiritual items, but a group of demons with overwhelming demonic energy.
These demons naturally never expected anyone to come to this place devoid of spiritual energy. The spiritual power of this frigid land is only usable by the monsters there; no one else can use it for cultivation. Not only were they completely unsuspecting, they were openly chatting and slacking off at the entrance.
"I'm getting tired of seeing this scenery every day. If you ask me, the Demon Lord shouldn't have said those nonsense. We've been stationed here for hundreds of years, and we've never even seen a single monster, let alone an ice-attribute tree spirit."
"Isn't that right? But if I were the Demon Lord, I would do the same. That's a lifespan of ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years. I've never seen a demon live that long without being struck down."
"If the higher-ups want benefits, we lackeys suffer. Outside, the three of us are addressed as Lord Heavenly Demon, but here, ha!"
"........"
The demons were different from humans who had fallen into demonic cultivation; they were born demons. They chatted enthusiastically, completely unaware of Yu Ling's arrival.
Hey, shouldn't we give them a good scare?
"Ahem, did I put you on guard duty so you could chat here?"
Several demons cried out in unison, "My lord, spare us! We've only been chatting for a short while... Who are you?"
Yu Ling: "You guys are talking about that ice-attribute tree spirit, tell me more about it."
The demons were initially angry, but the aura emanating from Yu Ling was all too familiar. Wasn't this just like the group of monsters from the extreme cold? Although it exuded a kind of immortal sword aura that was neither demon nor human, they still dutifully explained and planned to hand Yu Ling over to their leader for inspection.
"It was a deal between my Demon Lord and the Heavenly Dao. We'll find a tree in the extreme cold, and if we do, the Heavenly Tribulation will be postponed for ten thousand years," the Big Mouth Demon replied enthusiastically, seeing that Yu Ling was pretty.
The short devil also added:
"The Demon Lord searched the entire Frigid Lands but couldn't find it, so he sent us here to guard it. But even the Heavenly Dao can't find this tree, so how could we possibly come across it!"
If I remember correctly, I seem to be the only tree in this entire frigid land that has become a demon, right? After it absorbed the Frost Jade Marrow and mutated into a demon, the other Ice Crystal Trees remained ordinary trees, showing no signs of transformation whatsoever.
