Chapter 822
The Holy Son of the Ice Spirit Sect! Do you want to be Zhang Lingshan?
"Is that Ruobing?"
Chang Songqing exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected Ruobing to have such an opportunity. It seems that destiny belongs to our Ice Spirit Sect!"
Everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Kong Ruobing's talent is indeed outstanding in their Ice Spirit Sect, but she did not pass the genius assessment. Compared to Wen Wanyu, Liu Rui, and Su Sheng, she is somewhat inferior.
Because she failed the prodigy assessment, Kong Ruobing believed that the assessment was flawed, unfair, and unable to identify true prodigies. Therefore, she angrily left the Ice Spirit Sect and went to the Ice Chamber in place of Ji Buyi.
Everyone said that Kong Ruobing was feeling inferior because she failed the prodigy assessment, so she left the Ice Spirit Sect and went to the Ice Chamber to live a carefree life.
Unexpectedly, Kong Ruobing discovered such an extraordinary talent as Li Xuanbing in such a small place as the Ice Room.
That's truly incredible.
After all, no one could have predicted that such a brilliant talent would end up in a small place like the Ice Chamber in Anyuan City.
It is clear that this extraordinary talent was destined to be discovered by Kong Ruobing.
Or rather, the reason why Kong Ruobing failed the prodigy assessment and angrily left the Ice Spirit Sect for the Ice Chamber in Anyuan City was to encounter this genius named Li Xuanbing.
This is a stroke of luck.
"good."
Shen Zhixin nodded. Although no one spoke, he seemed to know what everyone was thinking. He said, "If Ruobing could meet Li Xuanbing and introduce him to our Ice Spirit Sect, it would be a destiny ordained by heaven. The two of them are a match made in heaven. I intend to betroth Ruobing to Li Xuanbing. What do you all think?"
"This is truly excellent!"
Chang Songqing was the first to speak up, saying, "Ruobing is of the sect leader's bloodline. Although she didn't pass the prodigy assessment, it only means that her talent is not suitable for the assessment, not that she is not a prodigy. As long as she marries Li Xuanbing, the child she gives birth to will definitely be exceptional. Our Ice Spirit Sect will then have a successor."
Shen Zhixin smiled slightly upon hearing this.
What Chang Songqing said was exactly what she thought.
Di Jun, Chen Miao, and Tie Zhengge had no objections to begin with. Seeing the sect leader's smile, they knew that Chang Songqing had spoken to the sect leader's heart, so they said in unison, "Congratulations to the sect leader on gaining such an excellent grandson-in-law. This is a blessing for the Ice Spirit Sect."
"Haha."
Shen Zhixin laughed loudly and said, "Li Xuanbing is a good child. He is grateful and repays kindness. As long as we nurture him well, our Ice Spirit Sect will surely be able to restore its former glory!"
As they were talking.
Shen Zhixin's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?!"
Everyone was startled by Shen Zhixin's sudden change in expression, wondering what had happened to make their sect leader, who had just been all smiles, suddenly become so serious.
"I can no longer sense Li Xuanbing's location."
Shen Zhixin's face was grim, and she said in a deep voice.
"Did any of you notice what happened on the screen just now?" Chang Songqing asked urgently.
They were all busy echoing the sect leader and didn't pay much attention to the scene. Anyway, the last opportunity was right there, so they weren't worried about it slipping away, and there was no need to keep an eye on it all the time.
Moreover, with everyone's abilities, they can perceive what is happening on the screen without deliberately watching it.
Unexpectedly, in just a split second, Li Xuanbing disappeared.
What exactly happened?
"I saw a patch of frost, and then Li Xuanbing disappeared into the frost and was never seen again."
Su Sheng hurriedly said.
In fact, which of the peak masters present hadn't noticed this, but they were afraid that they might have misread it?
Su Sheng's revelation at this moment convinced everyone that everything that had happened was true.
When Li Xuanbing stepped into the mysterious frost in that secret realm, not only did his figure disappear, but even Sect Master Shen Zhixin could no longer sense his presence.
It is important to know that the sect leader has the closest connection with the secret realm. She was able to use secret techniques to speak within the secret realm before, which shows that she has a set of unknown methods to control the secret realm.
But now, Li Xuanbing has simply vanished from her perception and control.
This is unbelievable!
The secret realm is only so big, where could Li Xuanbing possibly run off to?
"Sect Master, what should we do now? Li Xuanbing is the future of our Ice Spirit Sect!"
Chang Songqing called out urgently.
Shen Zhixin pondered for a while and said, "No rush. Since Li Xuanbing is destined to be a member of our Ice Spirit Sect and has passed the genius assessment, he must have gained the recognition of the secret realm. Perhaps the opportunity he obtained is extraordinary, and he has entered a deeper level of the secret realm, which is why I cannot sense it. This is not a bad thing, but rather a good thing."
"I see."
Chang Songqing said, "That's wonderful! May the heavens bless my Ice Spirit Sect!"
Di Jun couldn't help but purse his lips.
This old fellow isn't very good at teaching disciples; he didn't even have a single candidate for the Heavenly Pride Assessment this time. But there's a reason why he's able to hold his position as the Peak Master of Qingling Peak.
It all comes down to that silver tongue that's good at agreeing.
Without this guy's sharp tongue, no one could have handled the sect leader's emotions, which would have been incredibly embarrassing for him.
Therefore, the sect leader definitely needs this old guy.
Di Jun lacked the ability to read between the lines and agree with others; while he despised Chang Songqing, he also admired the guy.
That's why they say old people become shrewd and calculating.
That old guy is really something else.
at this time.
In the secret realm.
As Zhang Lingshan entered the frost and mist, he suddenly felt incredibly light and inexplicably rose into the air.
'What a strange feeling. Yet, it seems strangely familiar.'
Zhang Lingshan pondered to himself.
When exactly did I have this feeling?
Yes.
That was a long time ago, back in the Nine Provinces Continent. I first met Zhang Zixin in the Qingling Herb Garden, then ate the Fire Feather Fruit, and flame feathers and wings grew on my body, thus gaining the power to fly.
At this moment, I am in this frost and mist. I cannot use my Flame Feather Wings, nor can I use them, but I can still feel the power of flight that is as easy as using my own arms.
'Could this be a secret realm where I can experience something similar to fiery wings?'
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat.
The only thing one can learn within the Frost Mist that's similar to Flame Wings is Frost Wings.
Although the opportunity within this fog may not necessarily be this, whatever Zhang Lingshan can comprehend is that opportunity.
Regardless of the circumstances, a good opportunity is one that allows you to understand it and make it your own.
and so.
Zhang Lingshan, suspended in the air, immediately began to invoke the power of the Soul Tree and the Myriad Laws, and began to comprehend along his own line of thought.
Time flies.
Shen Zhixin and the others outside were probably getting impatient, because they still couldn't see what was going on.
But Zhang Lingshan didn't care about all that. He would never leave unless he could successfully comprehend it.
Even if he succeeds in comprehending it, as long as this place continues to exist, he can continue to comprehend other techniques and will continue to stay here until the secret realm expels him.
all in all.
Any opportunity to improve one's abilities must be seized absolutely; not a single one should be wasted.
It's done!
Amidst the frost and mist, Zhang Lingshan's heart stirred, and he instantly transformed into a sharp arrow, vanishing from his spot. If anyone could see his figure clearly, they would find that his entire body was covered in icy feathers, transforming him into a giant ice bird.
Every part of its body, every feather, is a sharp, icy spike, capable of killing in flight and traversing thousands of miles in an instant.
However, this is not the end.
Swish.
With a wave of his right hand, Zhang Lingshan conjured up a massive figure.
This is the spirit of the extreme cold.
However, unlike the Extreme Cold Ice Spirit that dealt with Su Sheng and his two companions before, this Extreme Cold Weapon Spirit was enhanced with Ice Feathers, giving it not only the power to fly but also greatly increasing its speed.
Moreover, all the feathers and icicles on its body can be shot out and injure people, making it a powerful weapon for killing groups of enemies.
Seeing such an enhanced version of the Extreme Cold Weapon Spirit, Zhang Lingshan was very satisfied.
However, it seems like something is still missing.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Lingshan gained some insight.
We're missing weapons!
Such a massive and imposing spirit weapon, even with feather ice shards as arrows to wound people, is not enough against a powerful opponent with astonishing defense.
That would require even more powerful weapons.
Come forth, King of Weapons, Frostfire Spear!
Whirring whirring!
In an instant, the surrounding frost and mist all rushed towards the extremely cold spirit.
At this moment, everyone in the council hall looked shocked as they saw the frost and mist in the scene begin to gather in one direction.
It took a full fifteen minutes to condense.
at last.
The frost and mist completely dissipated, revealing a crystal-clear ice spear in the air.
As for the extremely cold weapon spirit, it has disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Lingshan held his spear, completely satisfied.
That concludes our haul for now.
The extreme cold ice spear was the final reward.
Unbeknownst to others, the Extreme Cold Weapon Spirit had already been assimilated by the Extreme Cold Ice Spear and become part of it.
In other words.
This extreme cold ice spear has two forms.
One type was captured by Zhang Lingshan and used to fight enemies; this was simply a weapon.
One type transforms part of it into an extremely cold weapon spirit, while the other part remains as the extremely cold ice spear, with both fighting as one.
As for how to use it, that depends entirely on Zhang Lingshan's mood.
Swish.
With a flick of his right hand, Zhang Lingshan caused the Extreme Cold Ice Spear to vanish without a trace, disappearing into the palm of his right hand.
then.
A tremendous force swept over his entire body.
When Zhang Lingshan opened his eyes again, he was already back in the council hall.
"Sect Master, I have successfully fulfilled my mission and secured a spot as a prodigy."
Zhang Lingshan stopped and immediately bowed to Shen Zhixin.
Shen Zhixin laughed loudly: "Good, good! Good child, get up quickly. Now that you've become a prodigy, let's immediately set an auspicious day for your marriage to Ruobing. What do you think?"
"That is truly what I wish for."
Zhang Lingshan immediately replied.
"Haha."
Shen Zhixin beamed with joy, then looked at everyone and said, "Based on Li Xuanbing's performance today, he can be crowned the number one prodigy. What do you all think?"
"I think 'Number One Prodigy' is not enough to describe Li Xuanbing."
Chang Songqing immediately stood up and said righteously, "He should be called the Holy Son of the Ice Spirit Sect, above all the prodigies! Our Ice Spirit Sect is an ancient and powerful sect. Ten thousand years ago, it was a holy land for cultivation. There must be a position of Holy Son. This is a good opportunity to re-establish the position of Holy Son and lay the foundation for our Ice Spirit Sect to return to its glorious state!"
Di Jun was stunned.
The old man has really become a master strategist.
Look at these words, which of the three peak masters, Di Jun, Chen Miao, and Tie Zhengge, could say such a thing?
I've never even considered it, let alone said it out loud.
Even if someone could think of it, it would probably be a long time later, when they suddenly had a sudden urge to think of it.
However, Chang Songqing, as a seasoned and highly skilled flatterer, immediately thought of using the title of "Holy Son" to elevate Li Xuanbing to a high position.
This not only curried favor with Li Xuanbing, the future strongest expert of the Ice Spirit Sect, but also deeply pleased Sect Master Shen Zhixin.
Even a fool could see that Shen Zhixin wanted to give Li Xuanbing the title of the number one prodigy in order to pave the way for him and make his wedding with his granddaughter Kong Ruobing more grand, creating momentum in advance.
Therefore, when Chang Songqing mentioned the title of "Holy Son" at this time, it was as if he had immediately elevated the status to a higher level.
That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
Is this the skill of the number one flatterer?
Di Jun had to admire him; he was far beyond Di Jun's reach.
"Okay, okay!"
Sure enough, upon hearing the title "Holy Son," Shen Zhixin's eyes lit up instantly, and she became extremely excited, saying, "This suggestion is excellent! What do you all think?"
"Given Li Xuanbing's performance today, the title of the top prodigy is no longer worthy of him; he should be crowned the Holy Son."
Di Jun immediately followed up.
The saying goes, "When you see someone virtuous, think of emulating them." Although I don't yet have Chang Songqing's masterful flattery skills, I should still learn from him and study hard.
Chen Miao said, "Our Ice Spirit Sect has been silent for so many years, it's time to revive the title of Holy Son."
Tie Zhengge also said solemnly, "The appearance of Li Xuanbing and the reappearance of the name of the Holy Son are all the best arrangements. This is destiny."
"Hahaha."
Shen Zhixin laughed and said, "Then I hereby announce that Li Xuanbing is the Holy Son of our Ice Spirit Sect! The Holy Son's coronation ceremony will be held tomorrow. You all go back and prepare. Everyone must attend and no one may be absent!"
"Yes."
Chang Songqing, Di Jun, Chen Miao, and Tie Zhengge hurriedly agreed.
Shen Zhixin waved her right hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Aunt Qian then closed the door tightly, leaving only Zhang Lingshan, Shen Zhixin, and Aunt Qian in the room.
"sit."
Shen Zhixin smiled and said after Zhang Lingshan was seated, "Good son-in-law, tomorrow is the ceremony for the Holy Son's coronation. Will you participate as Li Xuanbing, or will you return as Zhang Lingshan himself?"
rub.
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped up.
However, now that he is a Golden Immortal, and has gained a lot in the Heavenly Pride Assessment Secret Realm, greatly improving his strength, how could he be so startled by this little accident? Wouldn't that be beneath his dignity?
then.
Zhang Lingshan gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart. His expression remained calm as he asked, "Grandma, what do you mean by this?" (End of Chapter)
