Chu Yuechan sat there on the ground staring tin shock at Mesa that quickly turned to anger.
"Abandon the Frozen Cloud Arts! You want me to abandon the Frozen Cloud Arts! Why should I abandon the Frozen Cloud Arts?! My master has taken me and my sister when we were all alone and raised us like her own daughters! She taught us the Frozen Cloud Arts and taught us the way of cultivation. Do you seriously think that I would betray her and the sisters of my sect by abandoning the Frozen Cloud Arts for this!" Said Chu Yuechan angrily.
"Well first off, nice to meet you Chu Yuechan, leader of the Frozen Cloud"s Seven Fairies, and second, do not consider this a betrayal of your sisters and master but as a means to help them. The Frozen Cloud Arts, though a strong Profound Art, has some drawbacks and some that can be debilitating and even life threatening. The True Ice Arts does not have those, cultivating the True Ice Arts does not require one to have a frozen heart and seal away all emotions to increase the power of the True Ice Arts. And best of all, it does not leave any remnant cold energy in the body that can build up and eventually shortening your lifespan and all the other uncomfortable side effects it brings with it. Cultivating the True Ice Arts does not make your body any different, you just are very resistant to the cold. And besides, if you manage to master the True Ice Arts to its zenith you will able to freeze anything in existence, be it water, living creatures, plants, or even the air around you. h.e.l.l, you"ll even be able to freeze Profound Energy and fire without any of the negative side effects that the Frozen Cloud Arts have. With the True Ice Arts, the Frozen Cloud Asgard will have the potential to be elevated to a position on par with the Four Sacred Grounds. And it is all thanks to you." Said Mesa to the wide eyed Chu Yuechan who was still in disbelief at his story.
"That is impossible. No one can ever match their pow…..." Said Chu Yuechan before Mesa suddenly cut her off.
"Hahahahaha... There is no such thing as impossible with me! I am the man who can make the impossible possible! It only a matter of time. So consider yourself lucky, for our meeting has been one that will change your destiny and the Frozen Cloud Asgard"s destiny forever. This day will be the day that the Frozen Cloud Asgard will rise to top and it is all thanks to you. Now, take my hand and let us embark on this journey to the top!" Said Mesa with much vigor. Contrary to what she wanted to say, Chu Yuechan was just mesmerized by Mesa"s confidence and the dream of helping her sect and her sisters to greatness so she took Mesa"s hand and made her resolve to forge a future ahead for her sect and for her sisters of the sect.
(A.N.: To those who are curious, once Mesa has bought a power, treasure, armor, weapon etc. from the system once he can always buy it again for free after he has given it away to someone else.)
And so they started cultivating the True Ice Arts. To show her the potential of it, Mesa brought Chu Yuechan with him to the waterfall and he immediately froze the waterfall in the blink of an eye. The True Ice Arts consisted of two parts, the Ice-Maker and the Ice-Creator, they both have a positive feedback loop with each, meaning that mastery over one makes the other stronger and vice versa. The Ice-Creator is, unlike its name says, the strongest part of the True Ice Arts and it freezes everything. The Ice-Maker allows one to make everything out of ice, be it standard stuff like swords, axes, hammers etc. and it can also make exceptional stuff like animals that are made from ice like birds that can act like spears or can be used as a means of transportation, bears that can be used as shields, jaguars that can act like fast and agile means of attack and the possibilities are endless.
So this way Mesa and Chu Yuechan started the training with the True Ice Arts. In the mornings, they would have a calm and relaxing breakfast, he had even made Chu Yuechan start drinking coffee with him in the mornings, after breakfast they would head out to the waterfall and they would start cultivating together for hours and only break for lunch. After lunch they would be dueling each other using only the Ice-Maker part and their imagination. In this Chu Yuechan would always lose because she had been using only a sword during all her years of cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts. During their clashes Mesa would always change up his weaponry to confuse her and then deliver the finishing strike. One moment they would be clashing with a sword only for Mesa to suddenly whip out a spear, forcing Chu Yuechan on the defense and then he would summon a jaguar to attack her from behind or create a slide of ice to quickly get behind her and defeat her. Every time they had a duel, she would be losing. But after a week of continues losing and stubbornly adhering to the sword that she had been so familiar with, she decided to try and change it a bit and started using little swallow birds as missiles to shoot at Mesa and try to sneak up on him only for it to fail. Though she did win this fight, but only because Mesa was suddenly distracted mid-fight and she took advantage of it.
"Yes! I won! Tonight, you"re doing the dishes! I finally won!" Cheered Chu Yuechan. She had made an incredible change, the emotionless Chu Yuechan had been evolved to one that was full of them. In the beginning she was not very emotional, her many years of cultivating the Frozen Heart Arts had created a very tight lid on her emotions, but after she started to cultivated the True Ice Arts she had been very carefully letting her emotions out as precautionary matter and when she noticed that her emotional state of being had no adverse effect on the True Ice Arts, she started letting out more of her emotions.
"So, it took him a week before he found that Azure Dragon G.o.d Trial. It"s a good thing those dragons were asleep and that he marked the place and dissipated before they could notice him." Thought Mesa to himself when he was suddenly hit in the head. Looking up he sees Chu Yuechan staring at him weirdly.
"What is the matter with you. We were having a duel and then you suddenly s.p.a.ce out. What happened?" asked Chu Yuechan.
"Nothing happened, don"t worry about it. Just thought of something delicious to make for dinner and I am going to need your help with it." said Mesa to Chu Yuechan"s excitement.
"What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?" Asked Chu Yuechan excitedly.
"We are gonna make lamb stew tonight with self-baked bread, because that is the best bread there could be, and with pudding for dessert. I am going to need your help making the pudding and cutting the vegetables." Said Mesa.
"Ohhh! I can"t wait to taste it! And this time, I won"t have to do the dishes anymore!" said Chu Yuechan excitedly.
During dinner they were talking, laughing with one another and just enjoying each other"s company. When Chu Yuechan took her first bite of pudding, her face lit up like a street light and she started devouring the pudding like craze. They had made enough pudding to fill 10 big cups, in the end she ate 9 of them and left poor old Mesa with the only one left, the one that was his from the beginning.

Blue Wind Imperial Palace, Moon embracing Palace.
Cang Yue was sitting next to the pond, concentrating on cultivating the Strength of a Hundred Seals that Mesa had given her 5 months ago. She had already managed to elevate her cultivation level from level 3 True Profound Realm to level 2 Spirit Profound Realm gaining nearly an entire Realm in 5 months of hard work. At this point she was capable of hitting as hard as someone at the Earth Profound Realm. As she was concentrating on her cultivation, a servant came by with a message.
"Princess, Blue Moon Profound Palace"s Palace Master Qin requests an audience."
Cang Yue opened her eyes and looked over to the servant telling her: "Bring him in."
Not long after, Qin Wushang walked in by himself and bowed to Cang Yue, "Qin Wushang pays his respects to Your Highness."

"Palace Chief Qin, please spare the formalities. To what do I owe the honor of your visit today." Said Cang Yue calmly.
"Yes, it is about Uchiha Mesa. It has already been 5 months since he has left and since he was last sighted at the Wasteland of Death entrance. Princess, please forgive my bluntness. The Wasteland of Death is a place even I would not casually step into. Five months ago, many people saw him enter, but since then, n.o.body has seen him come out. The number of geniuses who have died there is simply too many. Five whole months... Sigh, princess, you should stop being so attached to him." Said Palace Chief Qin Wushang as he shook his head.
Cang Yue simply just smiled at him and said: "Do not worry about him, he will be back. Yes, it is true. The Wasteland of Death is a very dangerous place and the number of people who have died there is very great, but I have complete faith in Mesa. Palace Chief Qin, you don"t know Mesa as well as I do and I can tell you one thing about him. He is a man that can make the impossible possible."
Looking at her face, Palace Chief Qin could see that she wasn"t trying to put up a brave front and lying to herself but that she was completely confident in Mesa. He couldn"t help but ask: "Princess, what is it then that makes you have so much confidence in Uchiha Mesa?"
"Because I know him. Yes, he is arrogant and likes to get into troubles but he has the strength to back it up and he told me he would go to the Wasteland of Death and that he would come back no matter what. So that is why I believe in him and that is why I know he will be back."
Qin Wushang sighed, he was happy that Cang Yue had found someone who made her happy but he was also aware of the great dangers of the Wasteland of Death. He immediately changed the topic, "Your Highness, I saw the emperor just now and I consulted with him about issues regarding the coming Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. The emperor has allowed me to discuss it directly with Your Highness. There"s only 2 months left before the start of the ranking tournament. We need to choose the pract.i.tioner who will represent the Blue Wind Imperial Family. May I know if Your Highness has already chosen a person, or will it be through choosing an inner palace disciple from a compet.i.tion like what had been done in previous years?"
"Mesa"s name will be first on the list and that is final! The other two pract.i.tioners to represent the Blue Wind Imperial Family can be selected through a compet.i.tion just like in previous years." Said Cang Yue.
Hearing her orders, Palace Chief Qin gave a respectful bow and told Cang Yue: "I understand, everything will be as your Highness wishes for. Now then, if you will excuse me, I will get this in order."
Shortly after, Palace Chief Qin had left to get everything in order as Cang Yue had told him to do.
"Ohh Mesa, it has been so long. I cannot wait to see you at the tournament and feel you inside me again." Thought Cang Yue to herself as she looked over the water"s edge with smile before she heard an impudent voice that made her beautiful smile fade away, only to be replaced by a look of indignation.
"Hahahaha, my imperial sister, you"re here indeed. Your imperial brother has come to see you. Quick, look. See who I"ve brought you from the palace."
