Fu Xi frowned with murky eyes filled with disbelief.
His lips parted slightly, trembling as he uttered, "This...how is this possible?"
The others did not understand what the baptism entailed, and they watched the scene before them with clueless expressions. They simply felt that the energy cluster had grown larger, like a waterfall plumting from the ninth heaven—spectacular and dazzling.
Chen Daotian asked, "Elder Sect Master, why is it impossible?"
The Elder Sect Master of the Taia Sect, Fu Xi, with eyes brimming with excitent, said:
"In my understanding, for a Divine Statue to acknowledge soone, it requires at least half an hour, and even then, there is a high probability of being eliminated. The Divine Statue’s scrutiny of each person is extrely stringent, so much so that a single action could lead to one’s rejection! But...what I did not expect is that Miss Ye is a descendant of the True Phoenix Clan. The True Phoenix Clan are all born cultivation geniuses. It is said that they learn things incredibly fast and never forget what they have seen."
"With these advantages, I thought Miss Ye would last at least half an hour, maybe even an hour, before being eliminated. But...the Divine Statue has actually finished the approval process and directly initiated baptism! This...I do not understand!" Fu Xi exclaid excitedly.
"So you’re saying that the Divine Statue has already recognized Sister-in-law, and she is now undergoing baptism?" Chen Daotian asked.
"Exactly!"
That was stating the obvious.
If there was no recognition, would the Divine Statue directly proceed with baptism?
...
While everyone was watching intently.
The energy cluster, like a waterfall, landed on Xie Daoyun one after another. Using Xie Daoyun as a dium, the energy passed through her and reached Ye Wenjun.
Fang Yu desired for Ye Wenjun to receive a better baptism.
Hence, just before the energy arrived, he leaped backward and silently observed.
That vast energy looked wonderful, like clear flowing water, resplendent and dazzling. Yet, Fang Yu had no doubt about the potency of this energy.
In his mind.
Fang Yu still rembered the powerful individuals of the Supre Heavenly Rank who had received Divine Hall baptisms during the Dragon Emperor era.
They were all dominant cultivation experts in their own rights.
When the Dragon Emperor rose to power, he was initially suppressed by these individuals.
Until the Dragon Emperor defeated them and took over the Five Great Divine Palaces with his subordinates.
Xie Daoyun was one of those who played a crucial role.
She had the opportunity to receive the Divine Statue’s baptism, and instantly beca the most formidable amongthe Dragon Emperor’s followers!
Since then, no one else had managed to gain the Divine Statue’s approval, let alone baptism.
...
The energy baptism was much simpler than imagined.
Perhaps it was due to the True Phoenix Blood, Ye Wenjun did not reject the energies at all.
With no resistance, those energies passed through Xie Daoyun and smoothly beca a part of her body.
In order to stabilize herself, Ye Wenjun closed her eyes.
She continued to breathe deeply, enhancing her Dantian and ridians.
However...
The energy from the Divine Statue’s baptism was imnse, and coupled with the energy Ye Wenjun had absorbed from Xie Daoyun, her Dantian soon reached saturation.
The baptism process could not be interrupted; otherwise, it would be deed a failure.
Having persisted to this point, it would be too late to give up.
Whoosh.
Whoosh whoosh...
The energy continued to enter Ye Wenjun’s body.
Fang Yu was almost unblinking, intently watching Ye Wenjun, fearing any mishaps.
As it turned out, his worries were unnecessary.
"Who would have thought the Divine Statue would interrupt the approval process to instead choose recognition, and directly initiate baptism. It seems the True Phoenix Blood has played a significant role," Fang Yu remarked in admiration.
He, of course, knew what the True Phoenix Clan represented.
They were a historical family from ancient tis.
After years of changes, most of the True Phoenix Clan chose to withdraw from the historical stage.
What Fang Yu did not expect was that his wife would be a descendant of this ancient clan.
Even more unexpected was that the True Phoenix Blood would directly receive the Divine Statue’s approval.
At the sa ti.
Fang Yu noticed that Xie Daoyun’s complexion had returned to normal, with only her Dantian still in a state of reconstruction.
Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
This ant that his prior plan had been successful.
His gaze shifted to Ye Wenjun.
"I wonder how much energy the Divine Statue has stored this ti?" Fang Yu muttered to himself.
The more stored, the longer Ye Wenjun would absorb, and of course, she would beco even stronger.
...
A waterfall-like energy descended from the sky.
The Divine Statue, as if treating Ye Wenjun with imnse importance, was not stingy with the energy it had absorbed over hundreds of years.
It had been over a thousand years since the Divine Statue of the Ice Divine Temple had last successfully perford a ritual.
This thousand years of energy, pouring directly into Ye Wenjun’s body, was equivalent to... a thousand years of cultivation.
Nobody dared to imagine what level Ye Wenjun’s strength had reached.
Everyone looked on with envy.
Watching her receive this sacred ritual.
Who knows how much ti had passed.
The ritual of the Divine Statue demonstrated no sign of interruption.
Fang Yu could feel that Ye Wenjun’s Dantian was reaching saturation...
If this continued... she would surely explode and die.
This energy was of imnse value for cultivation, but too much would be more than one could handle!
"Prepare the Fire Phoenix!" Fang Yu reminded.
Whoosh.
Whoosh!
Energy passed through Xie Daoyun’s body.
Each ti, it would bring a sense of coolness, reshaping her Dantian.
After Fang Yu’s reminder, he noticed that Ye Wenjun did not use the Fire Phoenix, but continued to allow the energy to wash over her.
He found this incomprehensible.
As expected—
The next second, Ye Wenjun’s Dantian lit up.
"Reshaping the Dantian?" Fang Yu exclaid in surprise.
In the distance.
Fu Xi was also full of surprise: "This is a rare sight of the Divine Statue reshaping... It seems that Miss Ye’s cultivation will definitely increase greatly!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed.
"Alas, if only we knew that sister Wenjun had such an opportunity, why would we have bothered practicing so diligently at first," Shangguan Linghui said.
"That is not right... If you don’t cultivate, lacking even the basic skills, even with the True Phoenix Blood, you wouldn’t be able to enter the threshold, and the Divine Statue would be powerless to help," Fu Xi said.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
At the sa ti.
The bright light enveloped Xie Daoyun and Ye Wenjun, continuously generating the power of reshaping.
Fang Yu watched in amazent: "I didn’t expect that while reshaping the Ice Woman, Ye Wenjun would be reshaped as well! What a stroke of fortune!"
Whoosh.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, there was a dazzling bright light!
Centered around Ye Wenjun.
A bone-chilling cold pervaded all around!
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
Everyone instinctively defended themselves.
Only Fang Yu was unfazed. He was born with a Supre Yang Body, and his cultivation was of the Vast Righteous Energy; one might say he was the natural nesis of the Cold Attribute.
This was also the reason why Xie Daoyun, who was unbeatable at the Supre Heavenly Rank, always lost to the Dragon Emperor.
The chill dissipated.
The light burst forth.
The entire Ice Divine Temple above was illuminated by this brilliant light.
This was a declaration to the world that a new Ice God... had descended!
