The Change in Bingzhou, Mu Qianliu's Tragic Encounter

A light blue flying boat shot through the misty sky without any pause, preparing to directly cross Wuzhou and enter the Azure Sea.

"By going to the Azure Sea and then returning to the Eighteen Provinces, even if I don't enter the Divine Ability, I will definitely reach the peak of the Divine Origin Realm," Xu Yan thought to himself. If this trip goes smoothly and I obtain the divine treasure from the Azure Sea, it would be enough to accumulate the foundation before breaking through to the Divine Ability.

"Before the battle of the Divine Prodigies begins, reaching the peak of the Divine Origin is inevitable. I hope to accumulate enough foundation. After the battle of the Divine Prodigies, I can immediately break through to the Divine Ability Realm," Xu Yan pondered. If I enter the Divine Ability Realm, not to mention the geniuses of the Spirit Domain, there would be no one in the entire Spirit Domain who can match me, except for my master.

Pushing aside the Transcendent Spirit Sect alone would not be a problem.

"If I accumulate enough foundation and there is not much time left before the battle of the Divine Prodigies, then I will break through after the battle. Those few days won't make much of a difference," Xu Yan muttered to himself.

Of course, whether I can accumulate enough foundation before the battle of the Divine Prodigies is still unknown.

Even if I successfully obtain the divine treasure from the Azure Sea, the accumulation of foundation still requires time to settle.

...

Bingzhou is the least populated province among the Eighteen Provinces of the Spirit Domain.

Covered in ice and snow, it remains unchanged for years. Looking into the distance, all you can see is a vast expanse of white, not even a trace of green vegetation.

Occasionally, you can see plants, most of which are white and emit a faint chill.

Bingzhou is the land where cold-type Spirit Medicine thrives. If you occasionally encounter non-white plants in Bingzhou, they must be divine-grade Spirit Medicine.

There is a Ling Sect in Bingzhou. Although it is not ranked among the Transcendent Ling Sects, it is still one of the top existences in the Apex Level Ling Sects. It is rumored that there are powerful individuals who have condensed the essence of heaven and earth in this sect.

Jingxue Palace is the ruling Ling Sect of Bingzhou, located deep within the Jingxue Mountains.

Jingxue Palace is one of the few female Ling Sects in the Spirit Domain, with all its members being women and no male martial artists.

Moreover, it is rumored that the women of Jingxue Palace are all exceptionally beautiful, with icy skin and jade-like bones, like beautiful flowers in the ice and snow.

Even the small heavenly martial artists are unwilling to live in Bingzhou due to its coldness. Because of this, it is rare to see cities or settlements in the vast Bingzhou.

The disciples of Jingxue Palace are said to be selected from other provinces and practice cold-type cultivation techniques, so they are not afraid of the cold. In fact, practicing in a cold environment is even more beneficial for them.

The beautiful reputation of the women of Jingxue Palace has gained some fame in the Spirit Domain. It is rumored that some Ling Sect prodigies have gone to seek marriage, and occasionally, those who are favored have succeeded in bringing back a beautiful woman.

There have been rumors in the Spirit Domain that the Jingxue beauties are unparalleled in beauty, with their icy allure being most captivating during hot weather. There are also rumors that martial artists who practice fire-type techniques and marry a Jingxue Palace beauty can experience the wonderful fusion and collision of ice and fire.

As these rumors spread, Jingxue Palace became displeased, and since then, there have been no Ling Sect prodigies who have been able to marry a Jingxue Palace beauty.

During the turmoil caused by the Blood Demon in the past, Bingzhou was not spared. There was a series of battles as the Blood Cultists coveted the Jingxue Palace beauties.

With the destruction of the Blood Cult and the Blood Demon retreating to the Inner Domain, fewer and fewer people paid attention to Bingzhou, and news about Jingxue Palace became rare in the Spirit Domain.

Jingxue Palace seemed to have been forgotten by the other provinces and entered a state of seclusion.

At this time, most of the former buildings in Jingxue Palace had already disappeared.

Only the Frosty Ice Palace remained, and around the Frosty Ice Palace, the entire Jingxue Palace was filled with various colors, exceptionally beautiful.

Divine-grade Spirit Medicine was planted all over Jingxue Palace.

Deep within the Frosty Ice Palace, there was a black cave-like vortex. This cave seemed to appear on the ground, but it gave people the feeling that it was not an underground cave, but a hole that appeared between heaven and earth.

There was an indescribable aura in the cave, and it seemed to be expanding faintly. Moreover, there was a warm feeling inside.

Outside the Frosty Ice Palace, a man dressed lightly was shivering in the cold wind, swallowing a divine-grade Spirit Medicine.

This Spirit Medicine was blood-red and had the miraculous effect of replenishing vital energy and blood.

"This is the ninth one. I have recovered again. I should be able to hold on," the man said.

The man was exceptionally handsome and elegant, but there was a hint of regret and fear hidden in his eyes.

He looked up at the Frosty Ice Palace, where in the sparse buildings, he could vaguely see graceful and charming women, each with their own unique features.

Some were proud and graceful, some were delicate and beautiful, some were gentle and tender, some were shy... He had slept with all these women.

It had been over a decade.

Since he accidentally heard a rumor and received a message that led him to the Frosty Ice Palace, he had never had a moment of peace. Every few days, he would be exhausted and in need of replenishment.

There were many beautiful women here, and he was initially excited to walk among the flowers and taste the different colors of the world. But later on, it turned into fear. And now, he even felt numb.

Because all the beauties in the Frosty Ice Palace were the same person!

Their souls belonged to the same person!

He even suspected that their bodies belonged to the same person as well.

Of course, it was just a suspicion, and the possibility was not very high. But it was certain that their souls belonged to the same person. These beauties might have been disciples or elders of the Frosty Ice Palace in the past, but their souls had long been devoured, and their bodies were now inhabited by this person's soul.

What terrified him even more was that this person's soul was extremely special, with a great difference from the souls cultivated by Martial Artists in the Spirit Realm.

These women not only had different appearances, but also different personalities and temperaments. He had to deal with different temperaments and personalities every day.

He had exhausted all his means and sweet words in his life just to barely cope with it.

Just when he was relieved and ready to find an opportunity to escape, the person behind the scenes appeared.

Three years ago!

Three years ago, he saw the person behind these souls, the one who possessed a bewitching charm, unparalleled beauty, and an irresistible magic power.

Since then, he had fallen into boundless pain.

He raised his hand and touched his cheek. Even after swallowing Spirit Medicine, he still couldn't fully recover. His cheeks were slightly sunken.

"If this continues, I will be sucked to death!"

The man muttered to himself.

Although that feeling was enchanting and dying wouldn't be painful, instead dying in pleasure, it could be said to be the most wonderful way to die.

But he didn't want to die!

The image of that gentle and jade-like woman appeared in his mind. She was gentle, understanding, and the most unforgettable woman he had ever met.

"When I left, you seemed to be pregnant. I wanted to stay with you until the child was born, and I wanted to take you home... But unexpected changes occurred, and I had to return early.

"When I left, I was trapped here. You might think I deceived you, right?

"I really didn't deceive you. Although I had many affairs, you were still my favorite!"

The man muttered to himself.

Just at this moment, a seductive and soul-stirring voice came from the Frosty Ice Palace, "Mu Mu, I want you, come quickly!"

Damn it!

The man cursed inwardly, or maybe it couldn't even be considered a curse, because he would soon take action.

"I'm coming, my precious baby!"

The man's face showed a doting expression, his eyes filled with excitement. He turned around and walked into the Frosty Ice Palace.

In the Frosty Ice Palace, amidst the ice and snow, on a pink bed, lay a person, completely naked, their skin seemingly merged with the ice and snow.

Even their hair was snow-white, their whole body crystal clear and white as snow. When they saw the man enter, they lifted a beautiful leg, revealing their alluring beauty.

Unparalleled beauty, enough to captivate countless men.

When they first met, the man was also infatuated, but now he feels fear in his heart, yet he dare not show it.

This woman seems to be not human!

Of course, she is not a sea spirit either, as he also has a sea spirit beauty.

"Mu Mu, you're finally handsome again."

"In this world, there is no one more handsome than me, Mu Qianliu. I am willing to do anything for you, even if it means sacrificing my soul and body."

"Don't say such things. How could I bear to see your soul and body wither away? The only thing in this world that is worth my attachment is you, Mu Mu."

"Ah, my dear, you are still so enchanting..."

This man is Mu Qianliu, the long-lost playboy of the Mu family!

One day later.

"Wu wu, Mu Mu, you're withering away, what should I do? I sucked too much from you this time!"

At this moment, Mu Qianliu's body is withered, looking empty and hollow. His cheeks are sunken, no longer handsome and charming.

His eyes are lifeless, with a hint of fear deep within.

His body trembles slightly, his lips trembling as he says, "It's okay, I'm excited, I'm happy, even if I die, I'm willing."

"Mu Mu, I won't let you die. If you die, what will I do? How can I find happiness?"

As she speaks, the woman stuffs several divine Spirit Medicines into Mu Qianliu's mouth.

After eating several divine Spirit Medicines, Mu Qianliu finally regains some vitality, but his body remains withered, empty.

"Oops, I've hurt your source. You've eaten too many divine Spirit Medicines, so the effect is not obvious now."

The woman furrows her brows.

Mu Qianliu struggles to stand up, puts on a thick spiritual robe, his body trembling, his legs shaking, but his gaze is firm as he says, "It's just a small matter. I'll gather some divine Spirit Medicines, find a friend, and prepare a powerful tonic. With ten days or half a month of rest, I'll be able to recover."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's just too cold. My dear, I'm afraid of freezing to death if I go out!"

Mu Qianliu says, hugging himself.

"Is that so, it's a small problem."

The woman raises her hand and a stone flies out from the black vortex deep in the Frosty Ice Palace. It is a pale red stone, like a heated iron block, but with only a hint of warmth.

"Carry this with you, and you won't feel cold."

Mu Qianliu takes the stone and puts it in his pocket, excitedly approaching the woman, embracing her, and finally saying reluctantly, "My dear, wait for me to come back. Let's fight for three days and three nights!"

"Yes, three days and three nights, it's so exciting."

The woman nods, her rosy face filled with anticipation.

"Half a month, at the latest half a month, I will be back."

"Mu Mu, I'll wait for you!"

Mu Qianliu leaves the palace, picks a few more divine Spirit Medicines and puts them in his mouth, walking towards the outskirts of the Quiet Snow Palace, constantly collecting divine Spirit Medicines along the way.

After leaving the mountain range where the Quiet Snow Palace is located, Mu Qianliu looks back and the fear in his eyes can no longer be hidden.

"Something is wrong here, a crisis, a crisis in the Spirit Realm, is it going to erupt here?"

His gaze is determined, step by step he moves away, initially slow, but later he soars into the sky, heading towards the outside of the Ice Province.

"My source is almost depleted, I won't be able to recover this time. I never thought that I, Mu Qianliu, would die like this!"

His whole body has been drained.

"Half a month, only half a month. Once it exceeds half a month, she will come looking for me!"

Mu Qianliu thought to himself.

For the sake of this escape, he had been leaving the Frosty Ice Palace under the pretense of going out to find treasures to restore himself, starting from three years ago when he was almost completely drained.

Each time, he would return to the Frosty Ice Palace within half a month.

Time and time again, he faithfully returned, finally causing the other party to relax their surveillance and gaining the opportunity to escape this time.

In the past, when he was almost completely drained, he would use secret techniques to restore himself.

Using secret techniques too often would severely damage his source.

This time, it would be difficult to recover.

He was undoubtedly facing certain death!

"She shouldn't be able to leave the land of Ice Province. As long as she leaves Ice Province, I will completely escape. Most of her divine soul power, consciousness, and attention are in that cave.

"So, this time, she didn't discover that my source was almost completely dried up and unable to recover.

"Otherwise, I would never have been able to escape smoothly.

"What is that cave? What happened to the Frosty Ice Palace back then?"

Mu Qianliu pondered, his speed getting faster and faster, crazily fleeing outside of Ice Province.

He must leave Ice Province within half a month.

When he entered Ice Province before, he had already condensed the essence of heaven and earth, not just one strand. He was only half a step away from condensing the aura of the laws of heaven and earth.

With such strength, he was considered top-notch even in the Spirit Domain.

But in the end, he had no power to resist.

That woman was terrifyingly powerful. Mu Qianliu even doubted if she had a physical body at all!

"I won't survive. After leaving Ice Province, I will go see her for the last time."

Mu Qianliu sighed in his heart.

The matter of the Frosty Ice Palace was too bizarre.

Fleeing madly all the way, in the end, he even resorted to using secret techniques. With the tremendous increase in speed, he finally escaped from Ice Province before the half-month deadline arrived.

Mu Qianliu didn't pause at all. He didn't even dare to return to the Mu family, afraid of bringing disaster to them.

He arrived at a big city and found a stronghold, handing over a letter to someone there, asking them to deliver it to a certain person.

After completing all of this, Mu Qianliu headed straight for Yuzhou.

In the Frosty Ice Palace in Ice Province, a graceful figure suddenly appeared above the palace, her eyes gradually turning cold.

"You deceived me! How dare you deceive me! I will crush you to dust, I will crush you to dust! I treated you so well, and yet you dared to deceive me.

"You can't escape, I will find you. I hate being deceived by people the most!"

Boom!

At that moment, the Frosty Ice Palace disintegrated, and all the women in the Frosty Ice Palace hurriedly left in all directions, searching for Mu Qianliu.

Naturally, they found nothing!

"Damn it! You deserve to die! How dare you deceive me, play with me, and then abandon me. I will skin you alive!"

The woman screamed like a madwoman.

Boom!

The original black cave emitted a warm air, a touch of crimson color surging out from the black cave, causing the surrounding ice and snow to melt.

The warm air spread continuously, spreading throughout Ice Province, and the black cave was slowly expanding.
