“Whew!”
Nie Tian breathed out as he slowly withdrew his hand that had been put on the back of Han Qing’s pretty hand.
His eyes were fixed on Han Qing.
Han Qing, who obviously didn’t like his gaze, said in a cold voice, “What are you looking at? A neurotic, weird guy.”
“Nie Tian, did you find anything?” Yu Suying asked urgently.
“Hybrid!” Nie Tian concluded, “Like me, she’s a hybrid. Her bloodline has inborn cold power.”
“Impossible!”
Not only Yu Suying, but also the seven Saint domain experts of the Profound Purity Palace shrieked in unison.
Han Qing shook her arm contemptuously. “Is that your conclusion? Senior martial sister, who is this guy you found for me? I’ve never felt any bloodline in me. My body is not as strong as those hybrids or outsiders, and sometimes I get sick.”
Humans were physically weak, while outsiders and hybrids were strong by nature.
Upon hearing Nie Tian’s judgment, Yin Xingtian and Mo Qianfan eyed each other and felt puzzled.
They did not sense any of the qi and blood power of a hybrid or an outsider in Han Qing.
“Nie Tian, are you sure you’re right?” Yu Suying also doubted it.
“I don’t know the source of her cold bloodline, but she is a hybrid, and very special,” Nie Tian said firmly. “Her cold bloodline is confined in her body by an unheard-of secret spell. The secret spell confining her bloodline must be the source of her bloodline, and it has the aura of extreme coldness.
“This kind of restriction keeps her cold bloodline from manifesting itself.
“The cold power caused by the growth of her extremely cold bloodline doesn’t work on the internal organs, or toughen her body, but runs to her dantian and mind.
“That’s why she can break through cultivation levels faster. Because of her cold bloodline, she refines cold spirit stones, absorbs cold power, and comprehends the Cold Ice Incantation at a faster speed than an ordinary person!
“She can step into the late Saint domain in a short time, and is qualified to reach the G.o.d domain. Her cold bloodline makes undeniable contributions to it.”
With a solemn face, Nie Tian informed Yu Suying and Han Qing of his reasoning.
But even after saying that, they were still doubtful. Some people like Mo Qianfan chose to believe him, but it was clear that the seven Saint domain experts from the Profound Purity Palace and Han Qing herself didn’t believe him, thinking he was talking nonsense.
“Nie Tian, how can… this be proved?” Yu Suying asked.
“Did your master say anything when she was brought back to the sect?” Nie Tian responded.
“No, my master just said that her cultivation talent is unsurpa.s.sed.” Yu Suying frowned and recalled, “My master didn’t tell me where she came from or who her parents were. When sects like our Profound Purity Palace recruit people with uncommon talent, they normally don’t ask questions about their origins. They just bring them back.”
“I know of someone else,” Nie Tian said suddenly.
“Who?” Yu Suying was shocked.
“Han Sen of the lightning element sect has a lightning bloodline.” Nie Tian thought and said, “He was brought back from a place by the sectmaster of the lightning element sect. The difference is, Han Sen’s lightning bloodline is slowly awakening, but he doesn’t have this kind of miraculous transformation technique to help feed his dantian.
“She’s much more special than Han Sen.”
Yu Suying froze for a moment, and ruminated on the meaning of Nie Tian’s words. Suddenly, she felt a bit restless and confused.
“How can this be proved?” Han Qing snorted.
“Can’t you feel it yourself?” Nie Tian raised his eyebrows. “Judging by your growth, you’re only about two thousand years old. Two thousand years! But you’re at the late Saint domain now. The Ice Soul Divine Daughter from the Ice Soul Divine Sect is known as a cultivation genius with the profound truths of extreme coldness, and her sect is the Ice Soul Divine Sect. Her realm is the same as yours. How old is she?”
“At least ten thousand years old.” Yin Xingtian sighed.
He was also at the late Saint domain, but had been stuck in this domain for many years.
The age limit of a Saint domain expert was 30,000 years, and he was almost there.
It took him 30,000 years to advance to the late Saint domain, and he hadn’t yet broken through to the G.o.d domain, but Han Qing… had only cultivated for 2,000 years.
“Is it very fast for a person to advance to the late Saint domain within two thousand years?” Han Qing asked.
Yu Suying’s expression was a little bitter. She turned her head subconsciously and took a look at the Frigid Depths in the depths of the cold fog before saying, “It’s said that the Ice Emperor Xuan Yu was nearly 10,000 years old when he advanced to the late Saint domain. Even compared to him, you’ve only been cultivating for a fifth of that time. It’s exactly because I think your cultivation is too fast that I dare not let you break through to the G.o.d domain.”
At the thought of this, Yu Suying believed Nie Tian’s inference a little.
Come to think of it, the speed of her junior martial sister’s cultivation was too outrageous.
Over the years, she had been protecting this junior martial sister very well, unwilling to let too many people know about her cultivation. Even she herself felt that her junior martial sister was a little weird and baffling.
“If you can get to the Frigid Depths of Ice Emperor Xuan Yu...” Nie Tian looked at Yu Suying and said softly, “It’ll be absolutely safe for your junior martial sister to break through to the G.o.d domain. What’s more, she’ll perhaps advance to higher realms smoothly after that, and likely reach the middle and late G.o.d domain.”
Yu Suying nodded. “I promise you I’ll go to the Frigid Depths. Previously, I also had such an idea, and wanted to see what was special about this forbidden area of the Extreme Coldness Palace where the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword were forged. Now I know the Frigid Depths is actually made of Ice Emperor Xuan Yu’s broken domain.”
“Does she really have a cold bloodline?” asked an elder of the Profound Purity Palace.
“Yes, it’s just that her bloodline is restricted, so it can’t transform, and maybe won’t be fully awakened,” Nie Tian declared. “This may not be a bad thing. On the one hand, it protects her ident.i.ty as a hybrid, and on the other hand, it greatly perfects her human dantian and enables her advance to the G.o.d domain more quickly.”
“Perhaps one day, when she breaks through to the G.o.d domain or other domains, she’ll break free of the imprisoning spell that limits her bloodline.
“At that time, she’ll already have the strength to protect herself. When others learn she’s a hybrid, they won’t be able to do anything to her.
“Moreover, with her strength of the G.o.d domain and her knowledge of ice power, if she gathers enough cold power, her bloodline can rapidly upgrade again.
“Maybe in a hundred years, or maybe in a few decades, her cold bloodline will be able to reach the heights of the ninth grade, and then break through to the tenth grade.”
“Wonderful!” At this point, even Nie Tian couldn’t help but marvel at it and genuinely admire the figure who had created Han Qing.
First, the figure made Han Qing quickly break through her realms as a Qi warrior with her bloodline.
Even though she was in the human world, her bloodline wasn’t conspicuous, and her ident.i.ty as a hybrid wouldn’t be discovered, so she would be relatively safe.
When Han Qing reached the G.o.d domain one day, the restriction would be removed, and she could strengthen her bloodline with her G.o.d domain cultivation base and her understanding of cold power, so her bloodline would also improve quickly.
“Innovative,” Nie Tian exclaimed with admiration. “It’s a great way to cultivate. She focuses on one aspect first, and when this aspect is good enough, she’ll focus on the other.”
“Nie Tian!” Yu Suying roared. “Do you really think your judgement is right?”
“One hundred percent,” Nie Tian replied with certainty.
Yu Suying pondered for a long time, then said, “Good! I have an offer!”
“What?” Nie Tian asked.
Yu Suying looked around and suddenly stared at Chu Rui, who had been sitting and resting in a corner of the wars.h.i.+p with a frown after his arrival.
“Our Profound Purity Palace will give up the race for your Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. And we’re willing to help you fight the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect. However, you must promise me that after your worries are handled, you’ll help our Profound Purity Palace take the Frigid Depths from Grand Monarch Ice Bones.
“The Profound Purity Palace needs to get the Frigid Depths, and I’ll give it to my junior martial sister.”
Nie Tian looked at Chu Rui.
Chu Rui, who had been busy restoring his power to fight the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect in the Domain of Heaven Python, opened his eyes, which were like two starry rivers. “The Frigid Depths is Ice Emperor Xuan Yu’s broken domain. If your junior martial sister’s situation is as fortunate as Nie Tian says, her future achievements may not be weaker than the Ice Emperor’s.”
“I can agree, but we have conditions. Your Profound Purity Palace will not be allowed to attack the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace for ten thousand years.”
If Han Qing reached the G.o.d domain and broke through to the middle and late G.o.d domain with the power of the Frigid Depths, the Profound Purity Palace might have wicked intentions again.
“I agree,” Yu Suying declared in a solemn manner.
