Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 825: Mystic Sea Yin Palace Physique

"Senior Yun, it's just..." the Ice Lineage Diva stammered, her eyes filled with awe. The reverence she had in her heart for this seemingly young elder flowed like an endless river.

What did it mean to be the true overlord of the Samsara Galaxy? This was it! She stood at the pinnacle of the world, but in her Ice Spirit Eye, Yun Xiao was the true summit, unmatched and supreme.

"Hohoho, not bad, not bad… I've picked up quite a few things today. You have my thanks," Yun Xiao said, looking down at her with a gentle smile.

"Not at all, Senior Yun. I only led you here. You even went out of your way to save me. I should be the one thanking you instead," the Ice Lineage Diva replied. Her heart fluttered back to the days when she was just a young girl.

"If that’s the case, as per our agreement, I shall now begin to rid you of some of your Ice Specter Poison. Where shall we start?" Yun Xiao inquired.

"From the hand, the arm," the Ice Lineage Diva said, her heart pounding.

Such purification of the Ice Specter Poison inevitably meant contact. For now, it was only the hand. But if she wanted to make a full recovery, would it not also include the legs, back, body… and so forth in the future? She dared not think further, her nerves tightening the more she pondered.

"Then the hand it shall be." Yun Xiao, unbothered, confidently took her arm, placing the Prison Warden Sigil against her skin, gradually vaporizing the poison within the meridians of her hands.

Such contact seemed ordinary. Yet, it was taboo because she was a Diva of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm.

Only the Ice Lineage Diva herself knew the relief she felt at that moment—her arms were so light!

For a century, her whole body had been plagued by piercing pain, the ice invading her blood, never dissipating. Now, at least her hands were at ease—a sensation as light as floating in the clouds.

"Senior, thank you… thank you so much," she said, her eyes brimming with tears as she couldn't help but kneel in gratitude before Yun Xiao.

"No need, this is your due," Yun Xiao quickly said, helping her up and looking into her eyes, "There's still Ice Specter Poison within you. I will cleanse the rest in the coming days. I would do it all at once if I could, but the poison is fierce, and this Life Sigil of mine also needs to rest."

"No hurry, no hurry, I will follow your lead," the Ice Lineage Diva replied, tears of gratitude in her eyes, no longer minding the contact as Yun Xiao held her arms.

Yun Xiao was about to speak again when suddenly, voices came from outside.

It seemed that two Valkyrie Queens were coming to train in the Harmony Divine Sword Realm. If a lowly slave and the Ice Lineage Diva were seen together here, it would be hard to explain.

"What should we do? My body double is not very convenient for moving," Yun Xiao asked.

Seeing no other choice, the Ice Lineage Diva bit her lip and said, "Senior Yun, I must be impolite."

With a flourish of her long dress and a roll, she wrapped Yun Xiao within it, then transformed into a streak of ice, dashing out of the Harmony Divine Sword Realm. ?

"Diva?!" the two Valkyrie Queens at the entrance exclaimed, stunned as they watched her retreating figure.

"Why was the Diva in such a hurry?"

"Her abdomen looks swollen; could she be pregnant?"

"What a joyous occasion!"

???????

Back in the Snow Diva Ruins, night had fallen.

Inside the small cabin, Yun Xiao, having seen off the Ice Lineage Diva, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally drop the act of playing an old sage!

The Extreme Yin Celestial Realm also had a dark dome that covered the sky. It had already descended, but the snow outside the window shone bright and radiant.

After a busy day, Yun Xiao had laid the groundwork for the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects.

The Yin Sword Embryo of the Harmony Divine Sword Realm was a deadly blade indeed!

"Seems like Yao Yao is still working hard on her side. She'll probably be cultivating till the morning," Yun Xiao thought. He was still getting used to her newfound work ethic.

Beside that, Moon Fairy was also rapidly improving.

So, it felt like his true self was the one slacking off a bit.

"I'm still only in the First Baptism Realm. I have to hurry up and break through to the Second Baptism Realm."

With that, Yun Xiao settled down in the small cabin, planning to consume some Heavenly Dao Sariras and Origin Orbs.

BOOM! Just then, he felt as though he was yanked from the cabin, plunging into a tide of chill.

Yun Xiao's eyes snapped open! Around him stretched an endless ocean, a dark green sea of icy cold that rolled on endlessly, chilling to the bone!

He was just in the Snow Diva Ruins—how had he suddenly fallen into this deep abyssal sea?

Though the tide did not freeze, its cold pierced straight to the marrow. In an instant, frost began to form on Yun Xiao's hair, eyes, internal organs, and bones, the frigid water attacking him like poison!

It was cold, very cold, probably the coldest he'd ever been in his life. He felt like death was imminent.

"Hold on!" Yun Xiao said to himself, clenching his teeth. He knew Blue Star and Red Moon were about to move to support him.

With his Primordial Void tribulation power, he temporarily resisted the icy tide, his eyes fixed on the tempest ahead.

"The fact that they didn't try to kill me outright means they don't intend to," Yun Xiao thought. He'd already had a hunch about the identity of his unknown assailant!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Amid the raging storm, a figure in a dark green dress gradually approached. Her dark green curls spread out in the vast sea, and her undulating form swayed with the waves, displaying a mature charm that was both graceful and alluring.

Undoubtedly, she was the Sea Lineage Diva of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm!

The power of the icy vast sea she wielded—Yun Xiao had already witnessed its might.

"Lowly, little slave…" Those cold eyes, through the waves, shone down on Yun Xiao from above, displaying an air of nobility and dominance, sacred and unassailable!

Clearly, the Sea Lineage Diva lacked the Ice Spirit Eye and couldn't discern Yun Xiao's unique qualities.

In her view, Yun Xiao was merely a slave in the First Baptism Realm; nothing unexpected should be on him.

So, her treatment of Yun Xiao could never mirror that of the Ice Lineage Diva, Yu Ji.

Had she not suspected a connection between Yun Xiao and the Snow Lineage Diva, she would have killed him outright!

At this moment, her pressure, like an oceanic abyss, bore down upon Yun Xiao, unintentionally stifling his breath.

This was the true chasm between him and such a supreme Diva!

"Hmph!" The Sea Lineage Diva, Wan Ji, watched the young man in white with a detached air. Her demeanor, much more direct than the other Divas, required no subtlety.

With a cold snort, the oceanic force around Yun Xiao swirled violently.

RIP! His white garments were suddenly obliterated in the waves, leaving not a shred behind.

Wan Ji’s cold eyes instantly locked onto the key object—too conspicuous!

Her cold gaze suddenly trembled, her pupils constricting.

Then, she inhaled sharply, glaring at Yun Xiao, her voice icy, "Clever little slave, daring to bring the root of sin into this sacred place. Even if Si Ji and Yu Jin had 1,000 reasons, you would still be guilty of 1,000 deaths, and they cannot be absolved!"

She had her undeniable proof, simple as that! And, being the mother of over 100 daughters, she was not so easily frightened by this root of sin. She had seen enough!

"Si Ji, come out and face me!"

To the Sea Lineage Diva, Yun Xiao was inconsequential; surely, this was Si Ji's transgression.

How could a mere slave bear such a responsibility?

However, just as she called out, the youth trapped in the icy sea suddenly said, "Diva, forgive my bluntness, but your daughter must be close to death, right?"

Wan Ji's face, already stern with anger, froze for a moment before her gaze turned even colder, her voice venomous, "So Si Ji has told you everything? She truly deserves death."

Yun Xiao met her gaze fearlessly, his voice clear, "It has nothing to do with her. I figured it out myself. You possess the Mystic Sea Yin Palace Physique, allowing you to absorb the essence of the Divine Spring more readily than others, resulting in your extreme fertility and so many daughters.

"However, the Mystic Sea Yin Palace has a fatal flaw: the children born of it suffer from congenital heart failure. Even if they enter the path of immortality, such congenital weak hearts can last at most 300 years.

"Now, your eldest daughter, Valkyrie Queen Hai Yue, struggles on her deathbed with congenital heart failure. As a mother, you can only weep helplessly, awaiting the inevitable.

"And furthermore, in the years to come, as many as you bear, that many you will lose."

The visage of the Sea Lineage Diva grew increasingly solemn. She knew, deep down, that the things he spoke of were unknown even to Si Ji and Yu Ji!

The secret of the Mystic Sea Yin Palace Physique was hers alone, discovered in ancient texts—a singular case in heaven and earth!

This was the reason for her prolific lineage, her exceptional gift.

Everyone envied her! But who knew the drawback would present itself so soon and continue indefinitely? To possess the potential of a Valkyrie Queen yet live only 300 years—how tragic was that?

And as a mother, to watch each precious daughter set upon this path of sorrow… That was her greatest pain.

She had thought the ancient texts mere fiction. Perhaps she didn't actually possess the Mystic Sea Yin Palace Physique. But recent changes in her eldest daughter's heart confirmed everything...

"How do you know all this?" Wan Ji asked, each word heavy with gravity.

"Because, although I've fallen to the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, I come from a high birth and was taught from a young age many ways to save others, which is my specialty," Yun Xiao said.

"A joke, you mean to say you can save my daughter?" The Sea Lineage Diva's retort was clearly a probe.

She knew well, would any other Divas value a mere slave if he wasn't extraordinary? And she seemed to see what made him extraordinary!

First, his courage was unlike that of an ordinary slave. Second, she had been to many battles and seen many a source of sin in men, but never one of such a frightening size. She knew it must be unique!

To avoid discomfort, she had ignored all else and now focused solely on Yun Xiao's eyes, waiting for his response.

And indeed, Yun Xiao nodded, saying plainly, "Not only can I save your eldest daughter, but all your children as well."

"Truly?" Wan Ji asked. The waves around Yun Xiao suddenly stilled, and he was drawn right before her.

Amid the rushing waters, the woman before him wore loose garments, her form dazzlingly white and fragrant.

The face of the most mature and seductive woman of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm was also filled with allure.

This prompted Yun Xiao to inevitably display his formidable ferocity, looking up defiantly at his opponent.

He took a deep breath, gazing at the Sea Lineage Diva, and spoke softly, "Diva, surely you don't want to see your daughters, one by one, die in your arms, do you?"
