To extract a spring directly from a cosmic nebula and embed it into a Secret Realm.
The Heavenly Sword Sect truly lived up to its reputation.
Only beings with Domains, or innate resistance to Ice Domains could survive this place.
"Thunder Roar Sword Domain!"
Lightning erupted.
Nine Layers of Domain unfolded perfectly, wrapping around the Thunder Dragon’s body like a living armor. Every scale, every contour was precisely protected.
Qin Mu felt the cold retreat, suppressed beneath roaring thunder.
"Hm... In my Domain, Thunder completely dominates tal."
He sensed it clearly now.
And when he invoked the Thunder Elent Law, that dominance multiplied.
Once the Origin of Thunder was understood, both Domain and combat techniques surged explosively in power.
Seeing that Qin Mu had stabilized, Ao ngng continued.
"The Spirit Spring contains three things : basic Universe energy, Ice Elent Energy, and most importantly... Ice Thought itself!"
Qin Mu frowned.
"Ice Thought... what exactly is that?"
He never encountered the term in any cultivation record.
Ao ngng lifted her head proudly, tail swaying.
"There are eight fundantal Domains in this Universe. Beyond them exist countless advanced Domains... Ice, Sword, Life , Death, and more."
"Where domains exists, corresponding power exists."
"That power isn’t exclusive to Martial Artists. ntalist have their own unique manifestations."
She pointed toward the depth of the Spirit Spring.
"Back then, this princess and Daylight discovered an Ice Thought nebula. We fought countless powerhouses, including mbers of Star Shaking before finally seizing it."
"Ordinary Ice Domain spring water wouldn’t interest them."
"But Ice Thought?"
Her eyes glead.
"That’s priceless."
"ntalist who cultivate here can integrate Ice Thought directly into their ntal Power."
"They don’t need to comprehend the Ice Domain."
"When they attack, they can slow enemies, freeze movents..."
"Even freeze Domains."
Qin Mu’s pupil shrank.
"Hiss.."
"ntal Power can have attributes?"
"An Ice attributes?"
For the first ti since entering the Secret Realm, Qin Mu was truly stunned.
----
East if the Ice Spring Area, approximately five hundred km from Qin Mu.
Luo Xiaoxiao hovered in the air, leading a group of disciples.
"Senior Sister Luo Xiaoxiao," one of the young girls ventured, her voice trembling with anticipation, "Is this the Secret Realm Ice Spring that Ancestral Master spoke of? The Universe treasure that allows one to cultivate Ice Attribute ntal Power?"
Excitent rippled through the crowd.
Yet Luo Xiaoxiao rely looked on with cold indifference, her gaze sharp and disdainful.
"A Universe Level Treasure..." she sneered softly. "How could such a thing ever be understood by ordinary people?"
Her eyes swept across the disciples of the Qingxuan Realm, brimming with contempt.
"Other than the Heavenly Sword Sect. this entire realm is nothing more than a gathering of ignorant bumpkins. They stand before the Ice Spring and still fail to grasp what it truly represents."
Unlike the other sects scrambling for scraps of fortune, the Star Luo Sect possessed a true Legacy.
Though it was only a fragnt left behind by the ancient Heavenly Sword Sect, that fragnt alone was enough to elevate them above the rest. As a core disciple who inherited the Heavenly Sword Lineage, Luo Xiaoxiao knew all too well the value of that knowledge.
The Secret Realm Ice Spring....
Her pupils constricted slightly.
A Universe treasure so rare that even giants like taverse Company would be forced to act.
If those monsters knew the Ice Spring lay hidden within this Secret Realm, there would be no competition, only annihilation. The Qingxuan Realm would have been wiped clean before anyone else even had the chance to step inside.
A faint smile curved her lips.
What a pity for them.
Ti, however was the real enemy.
The Ancestral Master had warned her long ago, the mont the Secret Realm revealed itself, powerful existences would inevitably turn their gazes here. With her current cultivation, seizing control of the Sword Mountain’s core was nothing but a fantasy.
The Ice Spring was her true target.
Her earlier outburst, publicly provoking Prince Bei Lun and instigating the competition, had been deliberate. A rare lapse in her usual composure, yet one carefully calculated to scatter attention and buy ti.
And now, the results were clear.
No other major forces from the Qingxuan Realm had arrived.
This was a race.
She had to seize the Ice Thought and fully control the Spring before the taverse Company notice anything amiss.
If she succeeded...
The implications were terrifying.
The Star Luo Sect was a ntalist School. With the Ice Spring as their foundation, they could nurture countless disciples with Ice Attributes ntal Power. At the sa cultivation level and comprehension, even a single elent affinity was enough to completely suppress opponents.
Absolute suppression.
With such power, the Star Luo Sect would crush the Qidala Empire, annihilate the Luol Temple, and dominate the entire Qingxuan Realm.
Given enough ti, tens of millions of years, maybe they might even recreate the glory of the Heavenly Sword Sect itself.
Luo Xiaoxiao inhaled slowly, her expression hardening.
"Junior Sisters," she said coldly, her vice cutting through the air. "Use your spatial rings. Collect as much Ice Spring water as possible."
A Sword Domain unfurled around her body, sharp and majestic. Without hesitation, she leapt forward, plunging straight into the bone chilling spring, her consciousness locked onto a single goal.
The Legendary Ice Thought.
-----
At the sa ti, far from Luo Xiaoxiao’s awareness, Qin Mu had already begun.
Under Ao ngng’s guidance, he carefully drew strands of Ice Spring water into his body. The mont it entered his ridians, frigid energy surged outward, threatening to freeze him from the inside.
Yet he remained clam.
He refined the Universe energy contained within the water, tempering his flesh and bones, strengthening his physique bit by bit. Simultaneously, threads of pure Ice Thought seeped into his sea of consciousness, rging with his ntal Power.
ntal Power existed in all beings, yet its limits differed drastically.
Those blessed with talent could cultivate it endlessly, pushing their minds beyond mortal boundaries. Those without talent, no matter how desperately they struggled, would never see progress.
