Heaven's End Ice Flame

Above the surface of the Lake of Frozen Tears, a figure shrouded in blinding blue light floated in the air.

An extreme coldness originated from the centre of the blue light as it flickered and danced.

The Realm of Frozen Hell turned silent for a moment before a mystic aura emerged from the blue light and swept across the realm.

No one could sense the existence of the blue figure.

As time passed, the blinding light disintegrated into tiny blue sparks before they coalesced and disintegrated.

This repeated until the finest of sparks and flames appeared.

The moment the perfect sparks appeared, they all rushed into the figure they shrouded. As if forced by a vortex, they were sucked into the dantian of their owner.

The soft blue light broke away, revealing a peerless cold beauty.

Her long hair hung down to her waist as it glowed with an icy blue lustre. Her eyebrows were thin, she had a pair of beautiful yet cold eyes. Her nose was small and beautiful. Her skin was flawless.

Her lips curled into a cold smile.

This is Leng Yue Yan!

"Hey, I can see under your skirt!" An excited voice sounded, almost making the floating beauty faint on spot.

Her face turned blood red and she grabbed the hem of her skirt and instantly descended in front of the young man.

Sheng Tian smiled complacently.

Even if you are a fairy, even if you are a goddess, I can still peek at you!

Ahem, he meant—Even if you are a fairy, even if you are a goddess, I can still bring you to the ground.

"You are going to die by that tongue of yours." Leng Yue Yan spat, pointing her slender finger at him as her whole body trembled in rage.

With a humble laugh, Sheng Tian waved his hands and smirked at her "I was looking out for you. I will never allow any man to see my woman's beauty. You should be thanking—"

A crystal sword shrouded in blue light was pressed against his stomach, causing him to swallow his words back.

Leng Yue Yan slowly withdrew her sword and said "Didn't I say, your tongue will cause you to die."

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Sheng Tian examined her up and down and shook his head.

"What?"she glared at him.

"What was it?"he rubbed his chin and gazed into her eyes.

With a flicker of fingers, a soft blue light appeared above her palm.

Instantly, the temperature of the surroundings began to fall at a terrible rate and Sheng Tian had no choice but to circulate his profound energy to shield himself from the terrible coldness.

What shocked him was the coldness was able to not only freeze his body, but also his profound energy and even soul itself!

What a tyrannical flame!

"a flame?" The mythical dragon bloodline in his body churned and blasted away the coldness, bringing him the longed warmth.

Leng Yue Yan's eyes widened at his guess, and she deeply looked at him before nodding.

"Heavens End Ice Flame." Gently caressing the soft flame, she looked at him and explained "I received a portion of memories when I received this flame.

It is the embodiment of Ice in this Universe. Though it is not one of the Seven Heavenly Treasures, and doesn't lose to the World Extinction Flame."

He recalled Xiao Lian blabbering about the Special Flames when she was drunk.

Under some predefined conditions, the Laws of the Universe lead to the birth of a special flame.

This can be a Sacred Purification Flame, a revered Holy Flame, a much sought after Alchemy flame or the dreaded World Extinction Flame.

The Realms of Divine, Asura and Spirit were said to have these Special Flames.

Though Xiao Lian didn't go into details, Sheng Tian remembered her mentoring this flame as one of the most dreaded ones.

It was just that the flame was under the command of the Ice Phoenix—Divine Ice Goddess and never left her side.

Only then did it make sense. Though he didn't give her the scroll of inheritance, she was already marked as the successor!

It is inevitable that she would be guided by the flame itself!

Still, Sheng Tian was shocked to hear the prowess of the flame, even more so to hear it's ability to rival one of the Heavenly Treasure.

But what baffled him the most was "This Universe?" he raised an eyebrow.

Leng Yue Yan also realised the implication of her words. Looking at the boundless sky, she never felt so small. With a deep sigh, she said "I never knew what a galaxy was. I didn't realise what a Universe is. To think there is a Universe beyond ours. Is my life forever bounded by this bubble of a planet?"

'Missy, I just came from another Universe!' he wanted to cry out loud but managed to restrain himself.

He had no evidence to prove his claim in the first place. Plus, he was not sure if him revealing the truth would be a good thin to their relationship. Who knows if he might be labelled as a retard or alienated?

Gulping his saliva, he nodded "Yes. I just read somewhere that there are countless planets and stars beyond our Mythical World. These make up the countless galaxies and they the Universe.

Truly, the us now are too small compared under the machinations of a Universe." He sighed.

But he didn't sigh in distress like Leng Yue Yan, instead he sighed in exhilaration.

With a hungry smile, his gaze penetrated the firmament and seemed to reach the deepest of stars "If this world is your goal, why do you cultivate so hard for? Can't you get on by eating and sleeping, living like a mortal?

If one cannot touch upon the laws of Grand Dao, how can a cultivator become Immortal and Eternal?

Isn't this the Ultimate Goal of a cultivator? Why we walk down the path of blood and bones?

A life is but a speck of dust in the sight of the cosmic scale.

To stand against the flow of time, to break samsara and the inevitable end of life, life is but an and the only opportunity.

The only limit is the one we set ourselves."

Leng Yue Yan's body froze even with a superior cultivation at his words.

They were like the truths of the Heavenly Dao. Liberating and Enlightening.

Those words caused a fundamental change in her mindset and thus, her Dao heart.

Her horizons expanded and so did her ambitions.

Though he didn't mention it, he knew Leng Yue Yan was a person who was blocked by the walls she built herself; be it in her heart or her mind.

Once she sets herself truly free, then nothing in the world can make her feel inferior every again.

"What did you take from the bottom of the lake?" Her cold voice caught him off guard, as she suddenly switched the topics.

Sheng Tian smiled lightly. With an honest face, he replied "I thought you didn't see that."

True enough. When Leng Yue Yan touched the Heaven's End Ice Flame, it instantly engulfed her body leaving the bottom of the lake empty.

After the dreaded flame was gone, Sheng Tian saw a glowing glistening liquid emitting a faint blue colour.

Based on its shape, he recognised what it was!

A tear!

Slowly, opening his hand, he showed a drop shaped frozen liquid to Leng Yue Yan that glowed with an icy blue light.

If he guessed it right, this is the tear of the Ice Goddess!
