Immortal of the Ages

Within the territory of the Ice Lineage, the land was sealed in ice as far as the eye could see.

Yun Xiao made use of the fact that he was a body double to explain how frail he was and why he could hardly keep pace with the Ice Lineage Diva.

Of course, his frailty was only relative to the Ice Lineage Diva.

In truth, after entering the First Dao Tribulation and condensing a Corona, bolstered by the Primordial Sphere, Yun Xiao had far surpassed his former self.

"It really is inconvenient for my true self to do much in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm," Yun Xiao muttered, reminding himself that he could finally leave this place tomorrow. "That said, I'm sure I'll find opportunities to hone my skills at the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects..."

Thinking to this point, Yun Xiao couldn't help but be reminded of Divine Dawn.

"I wonder how Lil Xi is faring in the Ancestral Land? Knowing her, she might show up in the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects too."

Suddenly, the Ice Lineage Diva's voice snapped Yun Xiao out of his reverie.

"This way."

The two were headed towards the Harmony Divine Sword Realm located within the Ice Diva Ruins.

The Ice Diva Ruins were virtually a city of ice sculptures. The frost palaces stood shoulder to shoulder like swords thrusting into the heavens.

Like the Snow Lineage Diva, the Ice Diva Ruins were solely the domain of the Ice Lineage Diva, which was why it was so quiet and devoid of people.

The Ice Lineage Diva was accustomed to walking barefoot. She stepped lightly, her bare feet on the icy ground, casting reflections of her pale legs on the icy surface.

"The Harmony Divine Sword Realm is located at the back of the Ice Diva Ruins," the Ice Lineage Diva explained without prompting, still showing great respect towards Yun Xiao.

Compared to when the two first met, her gaze had warmed considerably. She was even making the effort to muster a smile from her normally frosty demeanor.

"Lead the way." Yun Xiao smiled, maintaining his act as an ancient sage untouched by worldly dust, perfectly poised.

"After you."

Once inside the Ice Diva Ruins, with no one else around, the Ice Lineage Diva relaxed significantly.

“This Ice Diva Ruins, so vast—don’t you ever feel lonely here, cultivating here by yourself?” Yun Xiao suddenly asked.

The Ice Lineage Diva looked down, her voice a soft whisper, “Senior Yun, I’ve grown accustomed to it.”

“What about after becoming a Boundless Immortal? How about drinking from the Divine Spring to have a child?” Yun Xiao asked.

The Ice Lineage Diva chuckled. “Maybe, but I don’t feel quite ready. Every time I visit Wan Ji, that place is crawling with noisy toddlers. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. So, perhaps in the far future.”

“Indeed, everyone has their own ambitions, and their own way of living,” Yun Xiao mused.

As the two conversed, they passed through rows of empty ice-sculpted palaces, and soon a frigid ice valley appeared before them, and at the end of the valley stood a door made of blue ice! ŔåƝɵ𐌱Ɛś

Before this ice door, numerous ice sword formations were arrayed, hundreds of them, each possessing a deadly sword intent.

With such formidable ice sword formations, any outsider foolish enough to force their way through would likely meet their end impaled by 1,000 swords!

But with the Ice Lineage Diva personally guiding him, Yun Xiao found the way open, and together they entered the grand gateway of the Harmony Divine Sword Realm.

BOOM! The gates of the Harmony Divine Sword Realm slammed shut behind them.

Ahead of Yun Xiao, the scene suddenly opened up.

Before him lay a world bathed in icy blue, shimmering and pulsing with light. Rows upon rows of sword-shaped ice columns rose from the ground, forming a chilling forest of ice swords.

Encased within these sword columns were scales, undoubtedly serpent scales. Likely, they had fallen from the past Divas and Valkyrie Queens who'd cultivated here.

“Our ancestors embedded their celestial sword techniques within their own unique scales, guiding future generations in their cultivation,” the Ice Lineage Diva explained solemnly, gazing at the icy columns.

“To reach the Seventh Baptism Realm, one must undergo a bloodline transformation to produce a serpent’s tail?” Yun Xiao inquired.

“Senior Yun, it’s not called a serpent’s tail; it's known as the Divine Spring Tail, a mark of our heritage as children of the Divine Spring, and also its blessing upon us. With this tail, our combat abilities surpass ordinary cultivators in the Seventh Baptism Realm,” the Ice Lineage Diva clarified.

“Fascinating,” Yun Xiao nodded, understanding. He walked past the icy columns, heading deeper into the Harmony Divine Sword Realm.

“Do you truly wish to observe the sword technique of the Divine Founder?” the Ice Lineage Diva asked.

“Of course, I suppose it's in the deepest part?” Yun Xiao asked.

He was curious about the scales on the other icy columns, though that would be inconsistent with his act as an all-knowing Boundless Immortal.

“Yes!” The Ice Lineage Diva nodded, then led Yun Xiao all the way to the deepest part of this icy blue world.

There, a massive sword-shaped ice column emerged, surrounded by tens of thousands of mist-like strands of sword energy, each one alive and spectacular in display.

Within the largest sword-shaped ice column was a palm-sized, turquoise scale.

This, undoubtedly, was the ancestral sword heritage scale left by the Divine Founder!

Approaching the scale, the Ice Lineage Diva felt a hint of nervousness. "Senior Yun, there is something I must remind you of."

"Go on," Yun Xiao nodded.

"The Divine Founder enhanced this ice column with her own intent. Only a body untainted and pure can touch the Divine Founder Sword Scale. I cannot assist you in this; you must resolve it yourself," the Ice Lineage Diva explained.

"Oh? That's no problem, for I have remained untainted," Yun Xiao declared.

"Uh..." The Ice Lineage Diva was stunned. He had clearly mentioned dual-cultivation! How could he possibly be pure!

However, she dropped the matter. She was more curious about how Yun Xiao planned to get past the boundless intent left behind by the Divine Founder.

As she watched, Yun Xiao stepped forward, reaching out towards the Divine Founder Sword Scale within the ice column.

During this, the mist-like stands of sword energy swirling around the column seemed startled, instantly awakening like a fierce beast, surging towards Yun Xiao.

SIZZLE! As the strands of sword energy neared him, a nine-headed violet dragon surged from his body. With a mighty roar, the swords scattered away!

"Again, this Life Sigil..."

Seeing the Prison Warden Sigil, the Ice Lineage Diva's heart raced.

When she witnessed this sacred and exalted sigil once again work its wonders, purifying Yun Xiao completely and rendering him flawless, her faith in his identity as a Boundless Immortal solidified.

In fact, it was unshakable now!

In an instant, Yun Xiao's palm had passed through the ice column, his fingertips gently lifting to touch the Divine Founder Sword Scale.

"Impossible..." the Ice Lineage Diva cried out in panic, but it was already too late.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xiao turned to ask.

"Nothing, nothing at all." The Ice Lineage Diva stared at his fingers touching the Divine Founder Sword Scale, at a loss for words.

The reverse scale of the Divine Spring Tail was located close to a certain privatepart. So, a man touching it was a grave taboo.

The issue was that the Ice Lineage Diva hadn't mentioned this beforehand; she didn't know whom to blame.

The deed was done. With Yun Xiao being of such importance, she chose to overlook it.

Normally, one would need to project their spirit into the Divine Founder Sword Scale to witness the ultimate sword techniques of the Divine Founder... Touching it with a finger wasn’t much different!

So, the Ice Lineage Diva reluctantly turned a blind eye.

"Senior Yun, I must also mention that the Divine Founder's sword has lineage restrictions. Traditionally, aside from the descendants of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, outsiders, even if they learn the sword techniques, cannot perform them..."

She was mid-sentence when Yun Xiao closed his eyes and extended another finger toward her.

"Senior Yun, you...!" The Ice Lineage Diva's heart raced as she stared at the looming finger so close to her.

How could he be so impudent!

As she silently fumed, a whirlwind suddenly sprang to life around Yun Xiao's fingertip!

BUZZ! The whirlwind formed into a sphere!

It was a frigid sphere, composed of dense sword energy, inside which a tiny infant seemed to be forming...

"Yin Sword Embryo!" The Ice Lineage Diva stepped back, her eyes widening in disbelief.

As the current successor to the Divine Founder's sword techniques, she recognized what it was...

This was the Yin Sword Embryo she had painstakingly cultivated for 300 years!

The foundation of the Divine Founder's boundless sword mastery, all sword techniques stemmed from this Yin Sword Embryo.

She was certain there was no second place in the entire Samsara Galaxy where the Yin Sword Embryo was known!

And Yun Xiao, having merely touched the Divine Founder Sword Scale… How did he achieve this?

The Ice Lineage Diva stood dumbfounded, staring at the Yin Sword Embryo on Yun Xiao’s finger, forgetting even to breathe...

"Whew!" Yun Xiao let out a long breath, a smile twinkling in his eyes. He retracted his finger from the Divine Founder Sword Scale and recalled the Yin Sword Embryo.

This was a massive win! This was the most formidable sword technique he had ever encountered. If used well, he could potentially sweep through the Samsara Galaxy with it alone.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing the Ice Lineage Diva still in a daze, Yun Xiao tapped her forehead with his finger.

"Ouch." The Ice Lineage Diva winced in pain, clutching her forehead as she stepped back. She breathed heavily, her eyes trembling as she gazed at Yun Xiao, uttering a soft groan, unable to speak for a long time.

"Not so difficult, is it?" Yun Xiao chuckled.

Hearing this, the Ice Lineage Diva truly questioned her life's efforts. Her ultimate sword, so easily replicated.

His casual remark underscored the vast gap in their talents.
