Chapter 438: Linked Union Skill

Lu Yuan, we need to strengthen our strength to face the upcoming challenges.

Gu Qingwan stared at Lu Yuan, gradually revealing her cold side: "Training the team fusion technique 'Resonant Divine Soul' is the fastest way to increase strength."

Lu Yuan nodded, relying on his understanding of immortal arts and wholehearted devotion, he began to practice 'Resonant Divine Soul' with Gu Qingwan.

'Resonant Divine Soul' this profound secret technique requires perfect tacit understanding and spiritual communication between the two.

They stood hand in hand on the lake surface, their bodies gradually emitting a faint yet bright light.

They closed their eyes, their thoughts intertwined.

A surge of explosive power circulated within their bodies, and they began to sense each other's existence and energy.

Yang and soft qi merged together, forming a huge wind-and-thunder pattern in the air.

Their bodies gradually became transparent, as if merging into each other, sharing strength.

Suddenly, a chill swept over, Lu Yuan felt someone approaching.

He and Gu Qingwan opened their eyes, discovering Lei Ling and several pursuers from the Golden Rainbow Sect approaching them.

Damn it!

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said to Gu Qingwan, 'We must leave here!'

Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement, and the two released their hands, each activating their own immortal arts.

Lu Yuan swung the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, drawing an arc in the air, shattering the ice before him, creating an opportunity for escape.

'Come with me quickly!' Lu Yuan shouted at Gu Qingwan.

They weaved across the Ice Crystal Lake, flexibly dodging the attacks.

'The environment here is too harsh!'

Gu Qingwan shouted, 'We must find a place to conceal our aura.'

Lu Yuan's eyes firm: 'I know a place!'

They sprinted desperately, roaming within the Ice Crystal Lake.

The cold wind howled past, ice chunks in the lake water continually shattered; they needed to find a sliver of life in this frigid world. Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan rushed across the Ice Crystal Lake, finally reaching the edge of the Ice Frost Mountain Range.

They stopped, panting heavily, feeling the lake's freezing aid them in quickly recovering their strength.

Suddenly, a chilling wind blew toward them, a woman in white robes appeared before them.

Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, her eyes revealing a hint of sharp light.

'How did you enter the Ice Frost Mountain Range?' White Phoenix True Lord's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan; after exchanging a glance, he stepped forward to explain: 'We entered here to evade enemies; we were previously pursued by the Golden Rainbow Sect on the Ice Crystal Lake.'

Upon hearing this, White Phoenix True Lord frowned slightly: 'Golden Rainbow Sect? Why are they hunting you?'

Lu Yuan replied as if nothing were wrong: 'Perhaps because we temporarily cannot return some borrowed treasures.'

He deliberately gave a vague answer, revealing no further details.

White Phoenix True Lord regarded them with slight suspicion, noting the armor that seemed different: 'Your armor, could it have been forged from my Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin?'

Her gaze was sharp and keen.

Lu Yuan jumped in surprise, never expecting White Phoenix True Lord to notice this.

Yes.

He answered honestly, 'This armor was indeed made using your treasure.'

White Phoenix True Lord nodded slightly, her gaze softening: 'Since you have already donned the armor made from my treasure, I suppose you should also know my identity.'

She pointed to herself, 'I am the White Phoenix True Lord.'

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan were both shocked by this.

White Phoenix True Lord usually remains low-key and hidden, rarely participating in worldly affairs.

No one expected that at this critical moment she would proactively appear before the two.

'Since you are being hunted by the Golden Rainbow Sect, I can help you leave.'

White Phoenix True Lord spoke calmly, 'But before that, please tell me what has happened to Gu Qingwan. Why is there such a strong divine sense fluctuation?'

Gu Qingwan lowered her head, giving a bitter smile: 'In the past I once suffered a backlash from an immortal technique, and this time it is due to practicing the Resonant Divine Soul.'

'I possess ice-system immortal arts, but they clash violently with Lu Yuan's Five Elements Escape Technique.'

White Phoenix True Lord pondered for a moment, 'The secret technique Resonant Divine Soul requires extremely high tacit understanding and spiritual compatibility to be successfully executed.'

'I think you two are extremely rare heavenly-endowed talents.'

Gu Qingwan lowered her eyelids, seemingly still uneasy about the problem remaining within her body. White Phoenix True Lord led Lu Yuan and the others to the inner court of the Profound Ice Sect, a place of harmony and tranquility.

Spotless snow-capped peaks towered, exuding a sense of reassurance and comfort.

In this environment, White Phoenix True Lord appeared more mysterious and dignified; passing disciples all showed her respect.

Lu Yuan looked around curiously; he saw some accomplished disciples, who all bowed to White Phoenix True Lord and gazed at Lu Yuan and the others with admiration and longing.

'White Phoenix True Lord, may I ask how you obtained such profound immortal arts?' a young disciple could not help but ask curiously.

White Phoenix True Lord smiled and replied, 'Through years of diligent cultivation, I have achieved what I have today.'

'But the path of immortal arts is extremely perilous, requiring great effort and sacrifice.'

Lu Yuan listened intently, secretly resolving to cultivate harder to protect himself and those around him.

He knew he still had many shortcomings and needed to continue improving his strength.

Under White Phoenix True Lord's guidance, they arrived before a hall that appeared simple yet solemn.

In the hall's center sat an elderly elder, smiling as he welcomed White Phoenix True Lord.

'White Phoenix True Lord, welcome.'

The elder respectfully bowed to White Phoenix True Lord, asking, 'May I ask if this is the new friend you brought?'

White Phoenix True Lord nodded and introduced, 'This is Lu Yuan; we met in the Ice Frost Mountain Range.'

The elder looked at Lu Yuan with warm eyes and said, "Lu Yuan, welcome to join the Profound Ice Sect."

"Here, you will receive our protection and guidance."

Lu Yuan felt the Profound Ice Sect's friendliness and goodwill toward them, and he excitedly said, "Thank you, Elder."

"I will strive in my cultivation and contribute to the sect."

The elder smiled and nodded: "Good, we will provide the necessary resources for you to further your cultivation."

"Now, please follow me into the inner hall."

Everyone followed the elder into the inner hall, where some precious cultivation implements and ancient texts were displayed.

Lu Yuan felt refreshed and delighted, and he looked forward to gaining more spells and knowledge here.

Gu Qingwan quietly gazed at all this; deep in her heart she felt a faint excitement about embarking on a new journey.

Although her divine sense fluctuations still persisted, under the protection of the Profound Ice Sect she believed she could find a solution. (End of chapter)
