Immortal of the Ages
Chapter 805: Eight Times And All Grudges Will be Wiped Away!Yun Xiao stood, taken aback by such a request. Never had he imagined that she would ask for such a thing. He shook his head and said, “You're thinking too highly of me. I'm just a lowly slave among Immortals, lacking the power to help you become a Boundless Immortal.”
“All you need to do is agree, and it will be possible,” the Diva insisted, her frosty eyes locking onto his, each word she uttered seemed a struggle from within.
“Fine, if you're saying you'll let bygones be bygones… and it's within my ability, it would be my honor to be of service,” Yun Xiao replied.
Slaves were rare in the Snow Lineage. From this, he inferred she must be the kindest among the three Divas.
Now, Feng Yao needed her power to rise and qualify for the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects. If the enmity between them could be resolved like this, he would desire nothing more.
“Hmm.”
Even after receiving Yun Xiao's agreement, the Diva remained a turmoil of emotions, continuously adjusting herself.
“And what exactly am I supposed to do to help you?” Yun Xiao asked.
The Diva took a deep breath and said, “The cultivation method I practice is known as the Melting Snow Spirit Essence Technique. The closer one approaches the pinnacle of this technique, the purer one becomes, and the more spiritual Yin energy grows within their spirit. Naturally, a certain level of Yin energy does not impact oneself too greatly, but…”
Yun Xiao listened patiently, his face calm. He had thought that like the Ice Lineage Diva, the Snow Lineage Diva had also seen the Boundless Light within his Corona. Clearly, he was mistaken!
She paused for a moment, then continued, “I'm an exception. Among the Divas of the Snow Lineage, I possess the Melting Snow Spirit Essence Physique and am both a Martial and Inscription Immortal. This has led to my spiritual Yin energy being more than ten times greater than an ordinary person. It's become a huge headache for me, especially as I'm trying to achieve boundlessness. The spiritual Yin energy stubbornly entwines my organs and meridians, becoming my greatest obstacle."
"So, you're saying I can help you become a Boundless Immortal by removing your spiritual Yin energy?” Yun Xiao asked
The Diva's eyes shimmered softly as she nodded. “Yes…”
“And how exactly do I do that?” Yun Xiao asked. Though, he already had his own suspicions.
During their last encounter, the very thing he helped expel was this spiritual Yin energy.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a deathly silence fell over the snowy mountain.
“Slave!”
The Diva was indeed a sovereign, for even the most difficult of admissions could be made under the drive of her ambition to become a Boundless Immortal.
Her face once again covered in a frosty rime, she stood like an ice behemoth, her gaze icy as she looked down at Yun Xiao.
She said, “Just like yesterday… Do that seven more times, and you'll completely rid me of a millennium of accumulated spiritual Yin energy. Should I successfully achieve boundlessness, all grudges shall be erased in a single stroke.”
Indeed, it was just as Yun Xiao had thought.
"Seven times?"
The mere thought gave him a headache.
"To break through from the Eighth Baptism Realm and achieve boundlessness, one must utilize Burying Heaven grade Calamity Sources to traverse the Eight Extremes Celestial Baptisms anew. The first of these was yesterday," the Diva explained.
She had cast aside the initial shame and was now utterly committed. From her perspective, it was quite straightforward. Firstly, what was done was done! Secondly, she had benefited from it.
Most crucially, if she were to slay him now and quell her inner demon, what if he managed to reveal the projection talismans? That would be an endless torment, a collapse of the reverence she held as a Diva!
It would be true destruction!
At this point, why not use this slave to fulfill her greatest dream in this life...
Once she achieved boundlessness, her path and everything else would take on new meaning. No matter what she lost, at least she would be stronger.
At that time, Yun Xiao would be her only black spot!
Even more, once she ascended to become a Boundless Immortal, she would reign supreme in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, no longer needing to care about her reputation.
Absolute power was the key! Her thoughts were crystal clear. For someone like her, this was a psychologically daunting step. And she had crossed it!
Yun Xiao knew she hadn't just thought of this method on the fly. Perhaps she had considered it yesterday, but at that time, the mad idea was obscured by shame and anger.
Now, with Feng Yao caught in the middle, she had made her choice.
This was a path of madness!
"Slave, can you do this?" the Diva asked, her supreme aura pressing down on Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao bowed respectfully and replied, "Of course, it's but a trivial effort."
Blue Star nearly choked hearing that! What a trivial effort indeed!
"Very well, the remaining seven times will be spread over seven days, one per day..."
Even for her, a being of such vast spirit, her cheeks flushed with a hint of red at these words.
The other party was a mere slave, lowly as a cockroach! She was the paragon of chastity in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm! How could they possibly...
"Boundlessness! Boundlessness! I must become a…. Boundless Immortal"
Only these words could suppress everything tumultuous in her heart.
She reassured herself in the shadows, "It's alright, he's not actually a true man, so there's no desecration, just a trivial effort..."
Only through such repetitive self-convincing could she come to accept it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao, puzzled, asked, "Diva, fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with your path of immortality. Shouldn't finding true love make it easy for you to achieve boundlessness? Why must you..."
"Silence!" The Snow Lineage Diva snapped back, her voice icy. "Don’t speak such things in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, or there will be plenty eager to kill you, and I won't be able to save you."
She added, "All men are the mortal enemies of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, and thus my enemies! You are fortunate to have been cleansed of your root of sin, otherwise, a million deaths wouldn't suffice!"
"..." Yun Xiao was left speechless. He wondered, once these eight instances were concluded, if she realized he still bore the root of sin, would she perish in a fit of rage?
"Follow me to the Snow Diva Ruins!" she commanded coldly.
Yun Xiao could only nod. He had yet to move when a blizzard swirled around him, engulfing him.
With a hum, his body was whisked away, carried by the frigid storm at a fearsome speed towards the horizon.
"This woman is truly fearsome, probably fiercer than the Desolation Marshal of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If I were just an ordinary person in the First Baptism Realm, she could kill me 1,000 times over with a single breath!"
For her, although she could crush Yun Xiao like a cockroach, her restraint was telling of her endurance...
"Yao Yao has been sidetracked, and now I'm being dragged to the Snow Diva Ruins to provide service…."
What was once whimsical had now turned into a chore, utterly devoid of any amusement!
Indeed, the blizzard had swirled around Yun Xiao as he was swept toward his destination, arriving swiftly at the Snow Diva Ruins.
When Yun Xiao touched the ground, he found himself within a hall of pale white majesty. The hall was vast, an open expanse under a ceiling where the intertwining snake scales spelled out Palace of Melting Snow.
As for the full scope of the Snow Diva Ruins, Yun Xiao could not tell, his perspective limited by the mountain he was within. Yet, he had gleaned that behind these ruins lay the supreme sanctuary of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm—the Harmony Divine Pool, whose waters were said to conceive miracles.
Within the Palace of the Melting Snow, one could faintly hear the thunderous roar of the Divine Spring waters, consumed en masse by the women of the realm, a testament to its voluminous capacity.
"Come." The Diva alighted to the ground, her serpent tail transforming into bare jade feet upon the cold floor of the great hall, her long skirt trailing vibrant snowflakes across the tiles...
Yun Xiao followed. Watching her swaying silhouette, he passed through corridors into the deeper sanctum of the Palace of Melting Snow. The temptation of boundlessness and the threat of the projection talismans gave Yun Xiao a sense of security, knowing there was no need for such a secluded place for any foul play.
This secrecy was merely for modesty’s sake.
Finally, a pitch-dark chamber appeared before them. It was small, intimate like a boudoir.
With a thunderous clank, a thick door of iron and celestial ore slammed shut behind them.
Alone together, they stood in the confined, deathly still space, where even the breath and body’s fragrance were palpable.
“It’s too dark, shall we light a lamp?” Yun Xiao suggested.
