“This sword, it shares a subtle but similar artistry with the Immortal Slaying Sword that I obtained at the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion; could it be that they are a set of Magical Treasures? Yet why is this sword located in the Endless Ice Domain of the Guanghan Palace, while the Immortal Slaying Sword was in the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion?”
Xia Ningxue pulled out the Longsword from the ice and snow, a chill surged to her heart, her jade hands gradually sealed by ice.
Hum.
The Immortal Slaying Sword at Xia Ningxue’s waist emitted a sword cry, a murderous intent came forth, breaking the ice, and contended with the coldness of the Fairy-Entrapping Sword.
The Sword Qi of the two Longswords, without Xia Ningxue’s prompting, clashed against each other on their own accord.
The Sword Qi of the two Sha Swords caused the solid ice field to crack like a spider web.
“Can you two please stop causing trouble?”
Xia Ningxue, using the domineering presence of the Immortal Slaying Sword, attempted to Refine the Fairy-Entrapping Sword.
Chided by Xia Ningxue in such a manner, the Fairy-Entrapping Sword really did comply and was refined obediently.
Xia Ningxue could feel the loneliness of the Sword Spirit of the Fairy-Entrapping Sword.
After all, the Fairy-Entrapping Sword had been trapped in the Endless Ice Domain for countless years, seldom did anyone enter, willing to take it away.
Xia Ningxue took seven days and seven nights to finally Refine the Fairy-Entrapping Sword.
“Since these are a set of Magical Treasures, there might be other Longswords to form a complete Sword Array. Lu appears to have come across replicas of this set of Magical Treasures before.”
Xia Ningxue now possessed two of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.
When she was in the Lower Realm, she saw Lu Changsheng using the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, only that set was more akin to replicas made by later generations, hence their quality was nowhere near as good as the true Immortal Slaying Four Swords.
Xia Ningxue pinched a Mnemonic Verse, the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Fairy-Entrapping Sword’s Sword Qi shot up into the sky, like the sun and the moon, illuminating the Endless Ice Domain.
Thousands of rivers collapsed, and the true form of the Great Demons sealed in the glaciers shattered as well.
True Qi rapidly poured out from Xia Ningxue’s body, her face pale.
Using these two Immortal Swords at the same time consumed a tremendous amount of True Qi; even with Xia Ningxue’s current Cultivation Level, she found it somewhat difficult to maintain.
Xia Ningxue changed her hand gesture, and the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Fairy-Entrapping Sword returned to their sheaths.
“Huh.” Xia Ningxue exhaled a puff of white air, cutely rubbing her hands, her pretty face red with cold, “It’s about time to go out.”
Having obtained the treasure that Guanghan Palace wanted, Xia Ningxue took the same path back.
Shortly after Xia Ningxue left, cracks appeared in the Fairy-Entrapping Sword’s original location, the cracks slowly expanded, spreading deeper into the ice…
At Guanghan Palace, Palace Master Li Heng was imparting Cultivation Techniques to his disciples, Jiang Yue Fairy, Fairy Zhi Jin, and others.
Suddenly, an elder appeared out of thin air, floating in the air and meditating, he said to Li Heng: “We are about to open the Endless Ice Domain, you should come as well.”
“Is Xue’er coming out of her seclusion?”
Li Heng knew that Xia Ningxue had returned to her starting position and that the Ancestors of Guanghan Palace were ready to open the entrance to the Endless Ice Domain, so without further ado to explain Cultivation Techniques to other disciples, he went straight to the Endless Ice Domain as soon as possible.
At the entrance to the Endless Ice Domain, over a hundred Ancestors of the Guanghan Palace were waiting; these Ancestors were both male and female, their presence formidable.
In Ancient Times, Guanghan Palace was also one of the major Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court, with profound heritage and low-profile actions, often cultivating in the ice fields in the north of the Immortal Realm, outsiders could hardly estimate how many experts Guanghan Palace truly had.
“Prepare to open the Endless Ice Domain.”
Upon seeing Li Heng arrive, these Ancestors were ready to join forces with Li Heng to open the entrance to the Endless Ice Domain.
The Endless Ice Domain is a small world of its own. Opening the Endless Ice Domain requires contending against the force of the world; a single Great Power could not withstand the backlash of the world’s force, so every time the Endless Ice Domain is to be opened, most Ancestors and the Supreme Elders of Guanghan Palace would exit their seclusions and gather for this purpose.
The collective Ancestors and Supreme Elders of the Guanghan Palace were positioned at different points of the Formation, reciting the Mnemonic Verse silently.
Li Heng also stood inside the Formation, injecting True Qi into it.
The complex and profound Great Formation, due to the massive influx of True Qi, gradually lit up and slowly began to rotate.
Rifts appeared in space-time, the savage force of the world surged out, generating terrifying gusts, causing the Daoist Robes of the Ancestors and Supreme Elders to flutter loudly.
“Heave!”
The faces of the Supreme Elders and Ancestors of the Guanghan Palace turned red as they exerted themselves to the utmost to activate the Great Formation and open the Endless Ice Domain.
A graceful figure riding a Flying Sword swiftly exited the Endless Ice Domain.
“Close!”
After attributing intense pressure, the Ancestors and Supreme Elders immediately closed the Endless Ice Domain as Xia Ningxue came out, all of them drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
“Every time we open the Endless Ice Domain, this old man is weakened for several months.”
“The first Palace Master who established this world has truly done something astonishing.”
“It’s a pity that, in order to lure a Horde of Demons into this world, then ice-sealing and eradicating them all at once, this piece of the world has been effectively destroyed.”
The Ancestors sat on the ground, taking breaths while chatting idly.
“Xue’er, was there any danger inside the Endless Ice Domain?”
Upon seeing his disciple exit her seclusion with an even more otherworldly demeanor, and her aura reaching the eighth rank of the Divine King Realm, Li Heng knew that Xia Ningxue had gained a great deal from her cultivation stint in the Endless Ice Domain.
“There are quite a few Great Demons ice-sealed inside, some of which are threatening, but the disciple is still able to handle them. Additionally, disciple found this sword in the depths.”
Xia Ningxue pulled out the Fairy-Entrapping Sword with her left hand, drawing the attention of all the Supreme Elders and Ancestors.
“Excellent sword, an unrivaled sword.”
“This must be the Longsword left behind by the first generation Palace Master in the Endless Ice Domain. After so many people have gone there, finally, someone has earned its acknowledgment and brought it out.”
“We truly haven’t misjudged.”
The Ancestors expressed their admiration in succession.
The first Palace Master who established Guanghan Palace was undoubtedly the strongest existence in the history of Guanghan Palace; the Longsword she left behind in the Endless Ice Domain was naturally not of Mortal-grade.
