Given Gu Lan's current display of strength, even in the ancient era, only the Snow Clan's daughter could be compared to him. In terms of advancent in cultivation, he might even be slightly superior. The progress of Human Clan cultivators in their cultivation is indeed extraordinary.
The Snow Clan Divine King reflected for a mont but did not pause his actions. He had promised a trial lasting half a quarter of an hour and intended to test Gu Lan for that full duration. Even if Gu Lan's performance had already satisfied him, he was not going to stop here. It would be a regret not to thoroughly test such a talented younger generation.
"Young man!"
"Watch closely; this is the difference between origin power and Rule Power!"
The Snow Clan Divine King raised his hand, and instantly, the wind and snow in the area ceased. The shattered ice crystal dragon froze in place. Even the Annihilation of the Gods Sword Formation, which Gu Lan had created with ice and snow, lost its control and hung suspended in mid-air.
For a mont, the ice and snow world seed to have been paused, enveloped in a terrifying stillness.
Cold!
An intense, unprecedented chill struck Gu Lan. He activated his Golden Armor of rit and protective divine abilities, yet he still felt an overwhelming cold.
Is this the power of the Rule?
Gu Lan closed his eyes, ignoring the cold gripping his body. Unable to fathom the Snow Clan Divine King's Ice Rule, he decided to focus solely on the sword in his hand.
The Hongng Sword trembled slightly, emitting faint sword sounds in the silent ice and snow world.
In the next mont, Gu Lan opened his eyes with a fierce sword intent.
"Slash!"
The sword he had not yet struck during the trial was unleashed at this mont. It seed slow, but it sliced through the halted wind and snow and cut through the shattered ice crystal dragon.
A sliver of sword energy with minimal force reached the Snow Clan Divine King.
"What a beautiful strike!"
The Snow Clan Divine King smiled, and his figure, along with the ice and snow world, shattered into pieces.
"Congratulations, young man!"
"This grinding stone contains a hint of sword Rule aura. If you can comprehend it within a thousand years, you may have a chance to break through your current bottleneck and enter the Main God Realm."
"And this Hongng Stone, originating from the sa source as your sword, when combined with the grinding stone, will help your sword advance to a higher level."
The Snow Clan Divine King extended his hand, presenting the two items to Gu Lan.
At that mont, the ice and snow world completely disintegrated. Gu Lan returned to the previous small Divine Palace of Ice and Snow, where the Snow Clan Divine King's phantom still stood, though now much weaker and more transparent.
Beside him, Feng Ruoxue saw Gu Lan reappear and showed no surprise. Her gaze was filled with concern as she looked toward the small Divine Palace of Ice and Snow.
"Don't worry. She has already received the complete recognition of the Snow Clan's inheritance and will erge soon."
The Snow Clan Divine King, sensing Feng Ruoxue's thoughts, spoke softly. Gu Lan approached and thanked the Snow Clan Divine King.
"You don't need to thank ."
"You were supposed to receive these items for escorting the Snow Clan inheritor here. This cause and effect is thus settled."
"If you still feel grateful, then protect her well in the future."
The Snow Clan Divine King smiled and looked toward the small Divine Palace of Ice and Snow, where a snowflake-shaped hexagram formation was unfolding. Within the formation, Mu Yuyan appeared from the snowstorm, wearing a dress of ice crystals.
"With a remnant soul still able to see the inheritor of the complete Snow Clan legacy, there are no regrets!"
The Snow Clan Divine King's eyes were filled with affection as he waved his hand, sending a divine light to Mu Yuyan, making his form even more transparent.
As the divine light descended, the snowflake mark on Mu Yuyan's forehead flickered, and her eyes opened, her aura exploding.
Ninth Grade of Imperial Realm, peak of Heaven Emperor Realm!
With just one step remaining, Mu Yuyan could enter the Divine Realm. This was the power of the Snow Clan's inheritance.
The divine light that the Snow Clan Divine King cast was not to enhance Mu Yuyan's cultivation but to suppress it. Rapidly increasing cultivation could destabilize her foundation. Even if she advanced to the Divine Realm Supre after receiving the inheritance, further progress would beco extrely difficult.
"Thank you, Snow… Divine King, for your assistance!"
Mu Yuyan approached and perford a deep bow, a gesture reserved for Snow Clan elders. She looked at the increasingly transparent form of the Snow Clan Divine King with concern.
"There is no need to worry about ."
"I am rely a remnant soul. My wishes are fulfilled now, and it is ti for to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
The Snow Clan Divine King dismissed their concerns. He had waited for this mont for thousands of years. Mu Yuyan and Feng Ruoxue, despite hearing his words, still showed sadness on their faces.
"Divine King Uncle, I know there are many secret thods in the Immortal Realm to reconstruct divine souls and allow remnant souls to be reborn…"
"There's no need. This life is for this life, and the next for the next. The thod of reincarnation is elusive and not what I seek."
Before Feng Ruoxue could finish speaking, the Snow Clan Divine King interrupted her. His form was already dissipating.
The Snow Clan Divine King used his last bit of strength to transport the three to the rear of the small Divine Palace of Ice and Snow. There, a sacred ice mountain was visible, littered with shattered palaces and broken ice sculptures—remnants of the Snow Clan's forr mbers.
The Snow Clan Divine King approached Mu Yuyan and began to recount the past.
"In the battle between the Snow Clan and the Seven Great Clans, I was besieged by all the Divine Realm experts of the Seven Great Clans. Ultimately, I was defeated by the Bright Clan Divine Son, leading to the destruction of the Sacred Mountain's foundation. The Snow Clan was subsequently expelled from the Immortal Realm."
"Now, you carry the last hope of the Snow Clan. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety."
"If you have the opportunity in the future, seek out a treasure with abundant life attributes and plant it in the core of this Sacred Mountain."
"If the Sacred Mountain's core can be revived, the glory of the Snow Clan in the Immortal Realm may be restored."
As the Snow Clan Divine King finished speaking, his form began to slowly dissipate. The small Divine Palace of Ice and Snow also gradually turned into a phantom, revealing the true appearance of the Sacred Mountain.
The vast ice mountain looked like a desolate ruin, devoid of any vitality.
In the dark and cloudy sky, mirroring the somber mood of the group, the Sacred Mountain stood as the Snow Clan's fated site. It held unimaginable vitality but was now nearly destroyed.
Mu Yuyan gazed at the Sacred Mountain, feeling a profound sense of sorrow. At that mont, she seed to experience the despair of the Snow Clan when the Sacred Mountain was destroyed. The palaces had not only been destroyed but were the final remnants of a people who died of despair, extinguishing their own lives.
"The Sacred Mountain of the Snow Clan is the birthplace of all Snow Clan mbers. Without it, the world will no longer give birth to any Snow Clan."
Mu Yuyan walked toward the core of the Sacred Mountain.
