The Ice Emperor's Evil Intent, The Lunar Mirror!

"Sister, watch out!"

Xiao Yuechan, who was standing nearby, also noticed something was wrong and immediately transmitted her voice, "There's something wrong with this obsession. Her aura is cold and mixed, unlike any orthodox lineage!"

"Let me test the waters!"

Xiao Yuechan let out a delicate shout, and a dark blue flame suddenly rose from her palm.

Northern Darkness Ice Soul Flame!

This is the accompanying strange fire that comes with the Northern Dark Ice Soul Body, which is specifically designed to counter souls and evil spirits.

"go!"

She flicked her finger, and the Ice Soul Flame transformed into a firebird, rushing straight at the illusory figure.

"snort!"

Upon seeing the attack coming, the once dignified Ice Emperor's face instantly revealed a ferocious expression.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

She stopped pretending and suddenly flicked her sleeve, unleashing a surge of dark malice that actually blocked the Northern Darkness Ice Soul Flame.

"Hehehe..."

A piercing, eerie laugh rang out.

"Youngsters, since you've seen through me, then you may all stay!"

Gu Qingxue, sword in hand, stared coldly at her: "You're not Hyotei at all! Who are you really?"

"I am, of course, Hyotei!"

The phantom's face was contorted, its eyes filled with madness: "However, it was merely a wisp of evil thought unleashed by the Ice Emperor!"

"I have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, waiting for this day!"

"The Yin Body... As long as I possess your body, I can be reborn and live another life!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The evil thought transformed into a black whirlwind, carrying a nauseating, foul stench, and swept towards Gu Qingxue.

"Possess me?"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Qingxue's eyes, but she showed no fear whatsoever.

"You don't deserve it!"

"Clang!"

The sword was drawn from its sheath, symbolizing the journey to the underworld.

This sword strike was no longer simply a manifestation of Yin energy.

It was the Four Transformations Sword Law that Lu Yuan had sealed within it!

More importantly, this sword strike actually incorporated a trace of the all-encompassing nature of the Chaos Sword Body, as well as the Panhuang Void and the Sword Intent of Time that Lu Yuan left in her body!

"cut!"

A dazzling sword light instantly illuminated the entire hall.

This sword strike cleaves through the void, severs the passage of time, and annihilates evil thoughts!

"No!"

The evil thought, halfway through its rampage, let out a piercing scream.

Faced with this strike that contained the highest sword intent, her weakened soul was utterly powerless to resist.

"Sizzle!"

The black wind was split in two.

The evil thought shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments of the soul.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qingxue instantly extended her divine sense and began searching the souls of those fragments.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, a cold smile appearing on her lips.

"It turns out that true inheritance requires a special technique to unlock."

She obtained the key incantation from the memory of evil thoughts.

Gu Qingxue formed a hand seal and sent a beam of spiritual light toward the ice wall in the center of the hall.

"Buzz!"

The ice wall slowly cracked open.

A jade slip radiating a soft, jade-like light, and an ancient bronze mirror slowly floated out.

Gu Qingxue reached out and caught the jade slip. After scanning it with her divine sense, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"The Ancient Scripture of Taiyin!"

This is a supreme cultivation technique that leads directly to the realm of true immortality, far superior to what she is currently cultivating!

She didn't keep anything to herself and handed the jade slip directly to Xiao Yuechan, who was standing to the side.

"Sister, why don't you make a copy of this technique as well?"

Xiao Yuechan was stunned, flattered and overwhelmed: "Sister, this...this is too precious..."

"Now that you've all followed your husband, you're like sisters to us."

Gu Qingxue smiled slightly and took Xiao Yuechan's hand: "No need to be so formal."

At this point, she suddenly leaned closer, looking at Xiao Yuechan's slightly flushed cheeks, and teased, "Just now on the Path of Refining the Heart, I noticed something strange about you, sister. Could it be... that you've also fallen for your husband?"

Touched on her secret, Xiao Yuechan's face instantly turned red to her ears. She lowered her head shyly, her voice barely audible.

"My benefactor's kindness... Yuechan... has no way to repay it..."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, her shy nod said it all.

Seeing this, Gu Qingxue felt no jealousy, but rather a sense of closeness.

Then.

Gu Qingxue turned her gaze to the bronze mirror.

The Heavenly Treasure—The Taiyin Treasure Mirror!

This treasure can not only stabilize a person's mind and soul, but also reflect all magical attacks, making it an invaluable defensive treasure.

"Refine!"

Gu Qingxue immediately sat cross-legged and began refining the inheritance and treasures.

With the operation of the Taiyin Ancient Scripture, and the blessing of the Taiyin Treasure Mirror.

The Yin energy within her body began to undergo a qualitative leap.

A metamorphosis...

boom!

The Law of Yin has taken shape!

Originally at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she broke through the late-stage bottleneck with unstoppable force under the impetus of this immense inherited power, reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm!

It even touched the barrier of the Divine Transformation stage.

"We're about to break through!"

Gu Qingxue's heart stirred.

Within this Guanghan Immortal Abode, a grand array left behind by the Ice Emperor conceals the secrets of heaven, and the Yin energy is abundant, making it an ideal place for transcending tribulations.

"Today, right here and now, I will advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Deep within the Moon Palace, in the Hall of Inheritance.

The dome of the main hall had already been pierced by a terrifying aura, and the originally enclosed space now led directly to the sky.

The sky above the far northern ice sheet was already covered with dark clouds.

These were no ordinary cumulonimbus clouds; rather, they were a chilling purplish-black, so thick and heavy that they resembled ancient, inverted demonic mountains, draining away all the spiritual energy of the surrounding area.

"Boom!"

The thunder was deep and muffled, yet it sent shivers down people's spines.

Deep within the calamity clouds, countless silver snakes danced wildly, each bolt of lightning radiating an aura of destruction. It was the legendary Taiyin Extinction Divine Lightning, specifically designed to suppress those with heaven-defying physiques.

Gu Qingxue sat cross-legged in the center of the main hall, her moon-white dress fluttering without wind.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and an extreme chill swirled around her. The Taiyin Treasure Mirror hovered above her head, casting down countless strands of clear light that protected her.

As the Taiyin Ancient Scripture circulated, the nascent soul within her body had completely transformed into a tiny figure identical to her, crystal clear and translucent, as if condensed from the purest moonlight.

"Snap!"

The first bolt of lightning finally struck.

The lightning bolt was as thick as a water vat, carrying a world-destroying force, and headed straight for Gu Qingxue's crown chakra.

Gu Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze showing no fear, only a cold indifference.

She didn't use any magical artifacts; she simply raised her delicate hand and gently grasped at the void.

"Taiyin Divine Light, swallow."

The illusory image of the bright moon behind her suddenly shone brightly, and it crashed directly into the lightning.

The terrifying tribulation lightning, powerful enough to annihilate a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, vanished the moment it touched the illusory moon image, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. It was forcibly devoured and assimilated by the domineering Taiyin power, turning into nourishment for tempering the Nascent Soul.

Then came the second, the third... and the ninth!

The lightning tribulation grew increasingly violent, eventually transforming into various ancient ferocious beasts, roaring as it charged down.

But Gu Qingxue possesses the Taiyin Body and has inherited the complete legacy of the Ice Emperor. At this moment, she is like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, unmoved by the wind and snow.
