Gong Yuxian Part 1

Jasmine was surprised by the list of people the system offered. Each of these masters was two or three levels stronger than him.

"I will choose Gong Yuxian. I am already familiar with the ice arts of Frozen Cloud Palace, and this palace is also isolated from the world. Even if I show up there and there's a fight between us, I don't think Gong Yuxian will tell the world about it..." Jasmine muttered, holding his chin.

Gong Yuxian was a level 3 Emperor Profound Grade, and Jasmine hoped he could fight her. He did not set himself such restrictions as not using the Disintegration of the Moon. He stopped using the rings of suppression some time ago. They were originally needed by Jasmine to have fewer problems in the empire. But now that he had the power of the Emperor, and Jasmine could escape at any moment, he had no reason to fear anyone.

After accepting the assignment, Jasmine purchased a hooded cloak from the store that could hide his gender. He didn't want to show up at Frozen Cloud Palace as a boyfriend, as it would anger Gong Yuxian. He only needed a sparring partner, not an enemy. Additionally, this way he could ward off suspicion that he destroyed the Biao clan.

Descending to the ground, Jasmine approached the Scarlet Dragon, who was lying in front of the entrance to the cave and looking at him.

"Are you leaving?" asked the Dragon, noticing that the boy had stopped admiring the sky.

"Yes, I need an opponent," Jasmine nodded. "But I'll be back soon."

Jasmine put on the cloak he had bought.

As soon as the cloak was on his body, ripples passed around Jasmine, and the next second, he was wearing an illusion. From the side, his figure now resembled a woman's, and the hood hid half of his face, although two bloody eyes inspired fear in anyone who looked into them. Long snow-white hair that reached his waist peeked out from under the hood.

"...your antics again..." The Scarlet Dragon simply snorted, not surprised that the boy had transformed into a girl.

"It's just an illusion," Jasmine answered in a gentle girlish voice that belonged to a child of about 12 years old. His aura betrayed his ordinary youth, and his Yang energy now felt like Yin energy.

After walking away from the cave, Jasmine took the teleportation scroll that was given to him after accepting the quest to send him to Frozen Cloud Palace and used it.

The Scarlet Dragon watched as the unusual little dragon disappeared from where it stood. His aura and presence were completely gone. Rising to his feet, the Dragon turned and returned to his cave. He still hadn't recovered from the last battle...

--------------------------------------------

At that moment, Gong Yuxian was in a personal training room, meditating. Her heart had been fluttering too much in recent days, all because of Xia Qingyue.

A few years ago, when she first heard about this girl, Gong Yuxian was glad that Frozen Cloud Palace had such a brilliant student, but it wasn't enough to shake her heart.

However, a few days ago, Xia Qingyue arrived at the palace along with Chu Yue Li. At first, Gong Yuxian remained calm, but when she heard the news from the Ice Fairy, her heart couldn't handle the shock.

The Spiritual Channels of the Heavenly God!

This legend had existed in the world for hundreds of years, but no one had ever witnessed someone practicing it. Gong Yuxian remembered how, a few years ago, Xia Qingyue had only opened 21 channels, which was already considered a sign of her genius. But who would have known that after all this time, she would become the owner of the

Spiritual Channels of the Heavenly God.

According to Chu Yue Li, Xia Qingyue had met the Grand Master of Medicine, who had opened all the channels for her. Gong Yuxian had to use the Frozen Cloud Arts to calm her heart upon hearing such incredible news.

Gong Yuxian clearly understood that having such an apprentice in her Palace was a blessing for the entire Frozen Cloud. She immediately ordered Chu Yue Li and the other ice fairies to keep Xia Qingyue's Heavenly God Spiritual Channels a secret.

Afterward, Gong Yuxian personally taught Xia Qingyue without inquiring about the Grand Master of Medicine. She was already grateful from the bottom of her heart to the person who had bestowed such a great gift upon them. Gong Yuxian knew that Frozen Cloud Palace would flourish and not fade in the future.

Leaving Xia Qingyue to study the Frozen Heart Art, Gong Yuxian returned to her own study to calm her emotions.

More than five days had passed since she entered this room, but Gong Yuxian still had not opened her eyes, and there was no hint that she would come out of meditation anytime soon.

Rattle of space~

--!! Gong Yuxian abruptly opened her eyes and waved her hand. The icy wind rushed toward the crevice that appeared in the space right in front of her. Ice began to cover the spatial rift, but Gong Yuxian did not have the strength to destroy it. "Who are you?" she demanded.

Gong Yuxian rose to her feet and stared at the person who had appeared in front of her. This person was of short stature, wearing a black cloak that revealed long white hair and expensive clothes that ordinary aristocratic families would wear. A hood covered the face of the unknown person in front of Gong Yuxian, but what caught her attention the most were the two red eyes. That gaze was both terrifying and mesmerizing, even for an Imperial Profound practitioner like her. Just one look was enough to make her Frozen Heart tremble.

"Big sister Yu Xian, please calm down," the figure raised its hands in a conciliatory gesture and spoke in a girlish voice.

"This level... this girl is at the Emperor level!" Gong Yuxian found herself in shock as her hand trembled. She had already tested the person in front of her and confirmed that it was a girl, and she appeared to be quite young, around 12 or 13 years old.

"Why are you here?" Gong Yuxian asked in a cold tone as she lowered her hands. She had never heard of an Emperor-level practitioner of that age in the Blue Wind Empire, which meant that this girl must have come from another empire.

"Big sister Yu Xian, I recently made a breakthrough to the Emperor level, and I need a sparring partner."

"Hmm! Show your face, and only then will I consider your request," Gong Yuxian replied, not immediately refusing but also not fully accepting. She allowed the girl to address her as "sister."

"Eh! Big sister Yu Xian, I don't just hide my appearance," the girl shook her head. "If I reveal my identity, other Empires may harm my loved ones."

"...," Gong Yuxian nodded, understandingly. She didn't detect any falsehood in the girl's voice, and it was clear that she had reached the Emperor level just a few days ago. "...if that's the case, tell me, what technique did you just use?" Gong Yuxian had already made up her mind to help this girl. If she made a good impression, the Palace could receive valuable support from the young Emperor.

Gong Yuxian asked this question for a reason. The

Gong Yuxian wanted to know the method this girl had used to bypass the protective formation and enter the palace. The Frozen Cloud Palace was protected by their ancestor's formation, which prevented outsiders from entering. Therefore, Gong Yuxian needed to understand how the girl had managed to pass through the formation without any issues.

Gong Yuxian also sighed bitterly in her heart. She was over 170 years old but only at the level of a 3rd stage Emperor Profound Realm. The difference between her and this girl was immense.

"Mm... Sister, let's keep it a secret, okay?" the girl whispered, as if afraid someone might overhear them.

"..." Gong Yuxian nodded, realizing that the girl was just a child. She smiled a little, thinking, "She's just a child." She didn't believe the girl had any ill intentions towards Frozen Cloud. Moreover, she was impressed that the girl had recently reached the Emperor level.

"It's called the Inner Vessel. It allows me to travel long distances as long as I infuse it with energy," the girl explained, gesturing with her hands as if demonstrating the incredible abilities of her vessel.

"I've heard about this treasure... Either she inherited it, or she had a fateful encounter," Gong Yuxian speculated. It seemed unlikely that the girl was from the Blue Wind Empire, as they would never be able to produce an Emperor-level practitioner at the age of 12. It was simply absurd.

"Okay, I agree to your request. But we will have to fight elsewhere. Follow me," Gong Yuxian said, taking a step towards the girl and preparing herself for any defensive or counterattack movements.

"Thank you, sister!" the girl exclaimed, grabbing Gong Yuxian's hand and walking alongside her.

"..." Gong Yuxian smiled. She was now completely convinced that the girl was not here to harm anyone in Frozen Cloud.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Frozen Cloud Palace was a tranquil place. Each student focused on their cultivation in their respective rooms, only occasionally interrupted by their basic needs.

Gong Yuxian led the girl discreetly, avoiding detection, until they arrived at the Frozen Cloud Valley. It was inhabited by beasts with ice elements, each posing a significant threat to practitioners below the Emperor Profound Realm.

Gong Yuxian stood in the sky with the stranger. She glanced several times at the girl's red eyes, which held a mesmerizing allure, like sparkling diamonds. Even Gong Yuxian, with her Ice Heart skills, couldn't tear her gaze away from those crimson eyes.

--...! Gong Yuxian suddenly recoiled to the side as a thought struck her. "You... it's you who destroyed the Biao Clan!"

--Hm? The girl tilted her head. "Ah! Are you referring to that despicable clan of rapists? They deserved their fate," she growled.

"..." Gong Yuxian calmed herself and nodded. Although she didn't mind the annihilation of the vile clan, she wanted to understand the girl's purpose.

"If you spare them, everything will continue as before, right?"

"...Yes, you're right. Let's begin," the girl replied, satisfied with the answer. Gong Yuxian remained cautious of the girl but was not afraid that she would harm anyone in Frozen Cloud. She didn't believe the girl could deceive her.

At that moment, Jasmine and Gong Yuxian ascended into the sky, drawing their weapons. The woman wielded a long, beautiful blade, while Jasmine held a long, two-handed claymore she had taken from the Biao Clan Master. The blade was a Heavenly Profound Strength weapon, considered one of the finest in the Blue Wind Empire.

"Well, Finally... My granddaughter's temperament has always made her the favorite of the family... Even Gong Yuxian, who has never been a mother, can't help but feel sympathy for my granddaughter," Jasmine thought to herself as Gong Yuxian grew more serious. Jasmine's red eyes flickered with anticipation.
