After Arana permitted Lynne's stay at the ice palace, Lynne borrowed a room to refine the shattered ice souls she collected.
During that ti, Arana did not disturb her—or rather, Arana never took the initiative to approach her for anything. And before long, Arana entered her secluded cultivation in the inner chambers.
Inside one of the many guest rooms, Lynne refined with shatters ice souls with her ice power.
At the sa ti, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress watched over Lynne's refinent with her powerful divine consciousness.
Nevertheless, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress's mind dwelled on Arana's matter.
She didn't expect a humanoid arachnid could get along with humans so well. Not only did Arana not attack Lynne for destroying her twig ho, she even gifted Lynne a spider silk dress.
Arana was an irregular being for not being hostile, but the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress didn't believe Arana was good.
"Master, don't you think Sister Arana is rather nice?" Lynne suddenly ntioned.
She was already wearing the white spider silk dress. Not only did it feel comfortable, but it also had good defense.
Nevertheless, Divine Ice Phoenix Empress turned serious after hearing Lynne's question.
'You're already referring to that Paragon as Sister Arana? Didn't I warn you not to beco close to that person? She is dangerous. No matter how nice she is, she belongs to the monster race. They are even more dangerous than the beast race.'
'At the very least, mbers of the beast race still have sentints and emotions. As long as you can overco the obstacle of differences, you can get along with the beast race very well. But, on the other hand, the monster race only follows their instincts.'
'Thus, they are generally aggressive to all races most of the ti. In a sense, they can be even more terrifying than demons. Just because they haven't killed you; doesn't an that they wouldn't kill you.'
'Demons would toy with their prey before killing them, but at the very least, their prey would already know the demons would eventually kill them. However, monster races are different. You can get along well with them, and they would still suddenly decide to kill you one day on a whim.'
The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress never thought she would talk good about the detested demons to compare them to the monster race.
However, she had to let her disciple understand the dangers of getting close to a mber of the monster race.
"But Sister Arana wasn't aggressive at all despite my mistake? She even gifted a tier-4 spider silk dress for protection. How do you explain this?" Lynne argued.
'That is sothing Master is still trying to figure out. However, Master just wants you to be aware that just because one monster is different from the rest of the monster race, it doesn't an that you should ignore the dangers, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
'My best guess is that the Paragon is using the Yin energy to suppress the instinct of her monster race,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress added shortly after. 'But never mind that; focus on your cultivation, child.'
"I understand, Master…" Lynne complied.
Half a day later, Lynne completely refined all the shattered ice souls. Then, she spent another day cultivating Ice Phoenix Divine Soul Art with her.
'Good. Your soul cultivation has swiftly risen to Peak Rank 2 Transcendent Realm in this past day. You are ready to advance your awakening cultivation to Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm without hurting your foundations,'
'It's ti to continue your journey. You can advance on the way,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
"Yes, Master," Lynne nodded.

In another part of vast Extrely Misty Forest's inner region, Leon traveled through the thick mists with Aria, Darlene, and Faelyn.
Initially, Leon didn't bring anyone with him.
However, the three ladies all insisted on following him—especially, Faelyn, who had not seen him for over three weeks.
Furthermore, Faelyn's reasoning was very convincing that Leon had no choice but to bring her along.
As a Wood Transcendent, she could connect to the trees in Extre Misty Forest and expand her senses. This ability would allow her to understand the forest's topography and have a great search range.
In other words, Faelyn's wood ability was useful in navigating through the misty forest.
Before leaving for Extre Misty Forest, Leon had paid his father a short visit. However, they did not have any ti to catch up.
When Leon transmitted several dozen primordial cultivation techniques and battle skills to his father and stated his intention to look for his mother, Heinrich had locked himself in his study room to create hard copies.
…
Scree—!
A Mid Rank 1 Transcendent-level vengeful spirit scread before it was exterminated by Aria's lightning power.
Lightning was the bane of all spirits.
Thus, the group had a relatively easy ti traveling through the inner regions. After spending five days in this region, they had slain over 400 Transcendent-level vengeful spirits.
At the sa ti, they had all collected the purified soul cores the vengeful spirits left behind.
"Are these things really Transcendent-level vengeful spirits? They are nothing like Duna at all. They don't have a shred of intelligence, and they only react to their instincts," Darlene ntioned with a frown.
"If Duna knew you compared her in the sa breath as these mindless vengeful spirits, I don't think she would be happy," Leon smiled with amusent.
Darlene's expression imdiately turned awkward.
"Ugh… Please don't tell her," Darlene pleaded wryly.
"Hahaha," Leon laughed.
"These vengeful spirits are most likely remnants of the Nova civilization that ended ten thousand years ago during the Cataclysm. They all relied on artificial spirit energy for cultivation and paid the ultimate price for it during the Cataclysm's eruption."
"Thus, they had most likely already lost their minds when they died. And that is why we have such a large number of mindless vengeful spirits at the Transcendent level, probably," Leon assud.
"That's probably it," Aria agreed.
"Dealing with these vengeful spirits isn't a problem, but how do we expect to find Sister Lynne and Mother-in-law in such a huge forest?" she ntioned shortly after.
