Chapter 295: Ice Saint's Remnant Soul, Mysterious Memories!

~8 min read 1,552 words

"Ye Bai, the person you mentioned should be my master..."

Li Qingqing first told Ye Bai the identity of the person who had spoken to him earlier.

It was actually the master Li Qingqing had newly taken!

The other party called herself the Ice Saint.

Just as Ye Bai had thought, Li Qingqing had been taken to the underground cave by the other party, and what she received was the Inheritance left behind by the Ice Saint.

As for why she had such a fortuitous encounter.

According to Li Qingqing, it was after she escaped from the hands of the Great Sun Remnant Ninjas that she stumbled upon an Altar.

An Altar guarded by a Transparent Armored Man!

Yes, the opportunity of those two most central Palaces within the Palace Complex could actually be found outside the Underground Cave Palace Complex!

It just required a tiny bit of luck, and one had to encounter a trial other than the one at Ye Bai's Palace in order to open the Palace Complex...

Li Qingqing's luck could certainly be called good!

The trial within was also to defeat her own Copy, which Li Qingqing managed to do quickly by constantly studying the Martial Technique she carried with her.

Then, the will of the Ice Saint appeared and asked Li Qingqing if she was willing to accept her Inheritance, with the condition of becoming her disciple.

Li Qingqing agreed.

Thus, the Underground Cave Palace Complex appeared!

Back to the main point.

The reason Li Qingqing's body was temporarily used by the Ice Saint was because, although Li Qingqing had entered the Palace Complex from the very beginning, she also learned what had happened inside the Yiji because of the Ice Saint's will!

She even learned that Ye Bai had encountered danger!

"Master, I beg you, save Ye Bai!"

"I, I can give up the Inheritance!"

This was what Li Qingqing had said at the time!

"Silly disciple, not to mention that the Inheritance cannot be interrupted once it begins, I am but a remnant soul; being able to bring you here and open the entire Palace Complex is already my limit, and I have no way to intervene."

"Trust your master, Ye Bai does not need your help, he will not be in mortal danger."

The Ice Saint's will said.

What answered her was only the young girl's gaze, unwilling to accept the Inheritance with peace of mind!

"Fine, since you, this little girl, are exactly like that scoundrel, I truly do like you. I have a way to temporarily control your body after you have completely digested the Inheritance."

"If you were to act yourself, you could defeat at most one Alien Race; if I come, provided there is enough time, I can at least kill three. Combined with the other Human Race prodigies, even if Ye Bai encounters danger, you will be able to rescue him."

"However, I must tell you that if you do this, you will be forced to obtain some of my memories...

Although, even without this, I would have left an item to tell you those things in the future, but if you know them in advance, it might have a huge impact on your worldview, and even on this world!"

The Ice Saint's will continued.

Li Qingqing agreed without hesitation!

And this was the reason why Li Qingqing was only Fifth Grade not long ago, but after coming out of seclusion, she was not only directly at Seventh Grade Peak, but her combat power was so strong that it directly crushed the Three Great Alien Races!

It was also why Li Qingqing's long hair turned snow-white, and why she maintained a cold and detached demeanor even when facing acquaintances and Ye Bai!

And the reason for Ye Bai's inner confusion, which had not been answered at all, was also obvious.

The Ice Saint's will was merely a remnant soul!

Li Qingqing also said that after the other party finished helping her with the last favor, she completely dissipated just as her will faded away!

Let alone Ye Bai knowing how the other party knew the details of his talent.

The person was dead as dead could be; surely she couldn't be resurrected in the future, right?

Moreover, hearing this, Ye Bai could be certain that the other party indeed held no malice toward the Human Race prodigies, except for him.

Because the Ice Saint's will could have clearly spoken to him properly, but instead...

Could it be that she was an existence who, like him, controlled Time Power? Was this wisp of a remnant soul from the future? And at that time, he still had quite a conflict with her, so she deliberately pranked him?

"Qingqing, your master said you would obtain memories from her?"

"I only have some vague fragments in my mind right now, I can't see them clearly yet, it might take a while..."

The only thing that could answer his doubts was the memory left by the Ice Saint's will, but unfortunately, Li Qingqing could not see it clearly yet.

And intuition told Ye Bai that even if Li Qingqing could see those memories later, it probably wouldn't help answer his doubts!

No, there was still Wang Xiaopang.

Ye Bai had already guessed that Wang Xiaopang had also obtained an Inheritance.

"Me? I obtained the Sleep Saint's Inheritance..."

"I did see the Sleep Saint's will, but when I saw him, he was sleeping, then he pointed his finger at me, and I got the Inheritance, and then we fell asleep together..."

Unfortunately, Wang Xiaopang's experience was even more magical.

The conversation with the two ended here, and Ye Bai hid his doubts in his heart.

Then it was because the location of the Yiji entrance had been reached.

The group of prodigies exited the Yiji together!

And before the final battle began!

At the Yiji entrance outside the Great Xia defense line!

Today, the number of Great Xia powerhouses gathered here was still very large.

The number even exceeded that of three months ago!

It was not just that high-level officials from various Martial Universities like Man Mang, Sun Wudi, and Zui Xiaoyao had not left in the past three months!

There were even more high-level officials from Martial Universities, and even elders and relatives of the various prodigies, who had come during this period because they had learned the news due to their own considerable energy!

"Child, my child..."

Within the crowd, one could even hear the sound of weeping erupting from time to time!

Even though the high-level officials of the various Martial Universities kept saying that the Soul Lamps of the heaven-gifted geniuses had basically not gone out.

But at this point, who still holds any hope in their hearts?

It can now be confirmed that the casualties among the heaven-gifted geniuses of other countries have exceeded seventy percent!

The heaven-gifted geniuses whose Soul Lamps are still lit now have, in all likelihood, only survived by triggering some contingency measures.

But that only extended their survival time; under the circumstances where the Martial Saints of Great Xia cannot force the Three Great Alien Races to compromise, the final outcome will not have even the slightest bit of surprise!

"It is all our fault!"

"If it weren't for us, having been in such a rush to arrange for the children to come and obtain opportunities back when we determined there were no Alien Race members inside the Yiji, how could today's events have happened?"

This is also what the high-level officials of the Martial Universities are thinking in their hearts at this moment!

Self-reproach and guilt have been the main theme from three months ago, all the way until now!

"The one surnamed Zui, will you drink?"

One could even see, in a corner of the crowd.

Sun Wudi, who previously never touched a drop of alcohol and, even after experiencing the blow twelve years ago, had only turned into a money-grubber, was now actually drinking with Zui Xiaoyao!

"Drink, why wouldn't I drink..."

"I am just a piece of trash; twelve years ago, I had no ability to clear the names of the Tianyu Two Saints, and I didn't even have the ability to find evidence that they hadn't betrayed anyone. Twelve years later, I am even less able to protect their child!"

"Other than drinking and keeping my combat power at its limit at all times, waiting for the battle between the Human Race and the Alien Races to erupt once again, what else can I do?"

Zui Xiaoyao is even more disheveled at this moment!

In the past, he only dressed like a beggar, but the clothes on his body were actually very clean; now, however, they are full of dust and mud!

The two of them have long since sunk into despair!

Regarding this.

Jiansheng, whose avatar has been above the firmament, let out a long, lingering sigh.

Yet, there was nothing he could do!

Because at this very moment, from his perspective.

The two opportunities at the very center of the Palace Complex have yet to yield a result...

Which also means that whether the heaven-gifted geniuses of Great Xia are dead or alive truly remains uncertain!

Until, Wensheng followed up with a sentence that rang out...
