gradually subsided,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the smile at the corner of Li Zhexian's lips slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tian Meng, Senior Snow Empress…\" he spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones have all disappeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the price of rebirth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Zhexian,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Sword Dao was the foundation upon which he established his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones were also gifts of heaven and

its hundred-thousand-year rebirth is not repetition, but an evolution of life's very essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With each rebirth, aptitude and potential leap forward, and all Spirit

explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>your Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones are still there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They simply no longer manifest externally, yet you can sense them with ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're like inner 'seeds' now, waiting for you to perceive and excavate them anew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"all the mysteries hidden within you will awaken completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything that has always belonged to you will return in a far stronger form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian listened quietly, the confusion on his face gradually replaced by contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his gaze to the Qinglian Sword resting across his knees, now restored to crystalline clarity, its blade reflecting the faint spiritual light in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power hadn't vanished—it had merely sunk deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped his hand around the hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qinglian Sword let out a soft, resonant hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of soul-deep resonance arose unbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the sword remained, the Dao remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Li Zhexian, did not fear tempering or refinement—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only feared letting sharpness sleep forever within its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath a towering ice-crystal tree laden with rime—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian sat cross-legged with eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though he had merged with the desolation of the Extreme North itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind became like that of an ice fisherman chiseling through frozen depths,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>diving inward, searching the deepest layers of his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the starry sky of his consciousness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there had once been nine brilliant sword marks engraved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>six had returned to their rightful places:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Sword Intent hung like an inverted Milky Way;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Blazing Frost Sword Intent was as if ice and fire shared one furnace;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Clear Wind Sword Intent eroded all things without form…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three remained—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>still silent, lying beyond the far shore of his sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pure heart, Li Zhexian used his own Sword Dao as a guide,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knocking upon his true self,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>retrieving the imprints that had been lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred meters away from the ice-crystal tree,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Ice Empress watched the silent youth beneath it, her brows knitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excavating oneself…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's hardly an easy thing to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Empress, having returned to Li Zhexian's spiritual sea and reassembled her spirit-soul body,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gently soothed the wriggling Little Yazi in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was as soft as snow touching the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since his memories have already returned,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"for Li Zhexian, it is like walking the path to heaven once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difference is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has tempered his heart in the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His understanding of the Sword Dao has shed its superficial brilliance and grown far more solid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Empress paused slightly, unable to resist glancing sideways at the Snow Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the Snow Empress's aloof pride,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even when facing the heavenly tribulation in the past, her confidence in herself had never seemed so… utterly unreserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great minds think alike,\" Skydream Ice Worm said with a grin. \"The Snow Empress and I are thinking the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed on quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auroras painted the ice plains in dreamlike colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shua—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sound rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the delighted gazes of Skydream Ice Worm, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sword intents that had been circulating around Li Zhexian—star, blazing frost, and the rest—were suddenly replaced by three far more extreme concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red radiance seeped from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment snowflakes fell, they were cleaved apart by that crimson edge, pulverized into ice dust too fine for the naked eye to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Intent of Slaughter revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All color around Li Zhexian gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice and snow lost their luster, turning pale and corpse-like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A power that withered all things spread outward; even the howling polar wind, once drawn into this domain, was reduced to deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Intent of Death returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a glassy, crystalline glow flowed across Li Zhexian's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes descended—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet automatically veered away three feet from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a leaf touched his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the domineering Sword Intent of Slaughter and Sword Intent of Death were purified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian's remaining three sword intents were fully recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All nine sword intents returned, circulating endlessly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine-colored radiance no longer remained separate, but overlapped and stacked together, forming a slowly rotating nine-colored Sword Intent Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lotus petals opened and closed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars flickered, blazing frost intertwined, clear winds flowed… spatial ripples spread, countless phenomena unfolding, protecting Li Zhexian at the lotus's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above his head, the towering ice-crystal tree laden with rime was nourished by the surging sword intent and began to bloom with countless \"flowers\" formed entirely from condensed sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sword-flower was unique in form:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some shimmered like stars, others wove frost and flame, still others took shape like solidified wind… each containing a distinct Sword Dao essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bloomed silently across the branches,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transforming the entire ice tree into a peerless Tree of Sword Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Empress's slender hand clenched unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword intent condensing into substance and giving birth to myriad flowers—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such a realm of Sword Dao lay beyond her ability to fathom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Empress's expression grew grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword-intent flowers looked dazzling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet every petal carried a supreme sharpness that stabbed painfully at her spiritual perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a premonition that even a single one would be difficult for her to withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword Dao that reaches the divine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Sword Dao reaching the divine realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Skydream Ice

contracted, transforming into streams of radiant light that shot into Li Zhexian's Great Vertebra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his twelve-segment spine seemed to turn into a peerless divine sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resplendent sword qi of transcendent sharpness surged skyward from the Great Vertebra, piercing straight through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twelve segments of the spinal sword bone pierced directly toward the spirit platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine segments were already imbued with vast sword

wellspring of vitality was fully awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marrow seas boiled, and creation was reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast blood essence surged forth, turning into roaring rivers like the Yangtze, thundering through his limbs and meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each surge brought power akin to shedding one's mortal shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the joint tempering of endless blood essence and annihilating sword qi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his flesh and bones glowed with a warm yet indestructible glassy radiance—flawless and pure, like an exiled immortal descending
