His expression hardened, the usual casual smirk nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dipped the brush in ink, his hand steady as he began to write stroke after stroke upon a fresh scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing sat nearby, hands clasped tightly in her lap. She waited patiently, not daring to disturb Bai Zihan as she sat there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Bai Zihan exhaled and placed the brush down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him lay a complete set of intricate characters that pulsed faintly with a chilling aura-the Frost Immortal Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ink hadn't even fully dried, yet a thread of frost crawled along the surface of the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan leaned back, rubbing his wrist. His eyes lingered on the scripture for a long moment before he turned to Bai Xueqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, handing over the Frost Immortal Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The technique that will let you control your Heavenly Ice Body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing took the scroll, still uncertain about it. Well, he shouldn't be joking about this... at least, she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, leave! I have important things to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan then shooed her away like some bothersome dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, his 'important things' should just be lazing around and sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing left Bai Zihan's room, the scroll pressed firmly against her chest. Until she cultivated it herself, there was no way of knowing whether it could truly help her-but she hoped so. She had to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the quiet corridor, she soon reached her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing the door open, she saw her best friend leaning lazily against the window, moonlight spilling over her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan looked up at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you disappear off to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To Bai Zihan's Room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan blinked, then tilted her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Did she have something else to ask?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan too was still shocked at the truth about Bai Zihan-how he went from Core Formation Stage to Soul Formation Realm in a single year. Well, she had expected as much. Otherwise, years ago, when he schemed against her and she beat him up, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't think Bai Zihan was the type to take a beating lying down if he had any strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was also his own fault for trying to bully her when she first came to the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan couldn't help but grin as the memory surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That nine-year-old troublemaker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mischievous little devil, really. She had always enjoyed straightening him out whenever she visited, though back then he would dodge her like the plague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even the presence of sect masters and clan leaders seemed nothing more than a nuisance to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(How time flies.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan? What for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had something to discuss with him,\" Bai Xueqing answered simply, her expression giving nothing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she trusted Chu Ziyan more than anyone, Bai Zihan's warning still rang clear in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chu Ziyan could press further, Bai Xueqing waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said as she was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And where are you going now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have something to try out in the Cultivation Room!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ziyan studied her for a moment, then sighed and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Don't overwork yourself\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing smiled faintly before leaving, her steps quickening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside her private cultivation room, silence reigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huuu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed the scroll carefully before her. The faint frost it emitted made her\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fingers tingle even without touching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another deep breath, she slowly unrolled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing's eyes shone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see,\" she muttered to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing her legs, she straightened her back, closed her eyes, and began to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cultivate according to the Frost Immortal Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the cold surged through her meridians, sharp yet pure-like countless threads of winter weaving into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Heavenly Ice Body responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Ice Body, which had always been a burden, flaring and rampaging\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at the slightest disturbance, suddenly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-uncontrollable streams of frigid qi responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wild frost that constantly gnawed at her dantian began to flow smoothly, as if finally being guided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though her body, for the first time, had found a language it could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing's cultivation base trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her meridians vibrated, her dantian pulsed, and her realm surged like a flood breaking through a dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes snapped open, glimmering with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\" Her voice trembled as visible wisps of frost escaped her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cultivation speed wasn't just double or triple-no, it felt like it was ten\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>times faster than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely not something an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frost Immortal Scripture... Could it be a Heaven-Grade Technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(But even Heaven-Grade Techniques shouldn't be so strong, right?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't just feel like a stronger cultivation technique-it felt like it was on a whole other spectrum entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, she reasoned, perhaps it was because the technique suited her Heavenly Ice Body so perfectly, resulting in such a drastic effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heart pounding, Bai Xueqing shut her eyes again and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lost herself in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed in what felt like mere moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally opened her eyes again, the sun was rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was frigid enough to freeze droplets of dew into glittering crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her body still tingling with Qi. She sat in silence for a few moments, awed, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, her lips parted, a faint whisper slipping into the frozen air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this be... a Saint-Grade Technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled slightly as she tightened her grip on her robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she thought it might be a Heaven-Grade Technique, which was already unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this technique was just too powerful. Perhaps-just maybe-it was something that wasn't supposed to exist in the Desolate Heaven Empire... a Saint-Grade Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xueqing shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention-would Bai Zihan even give her one if he had such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, this technique was surely the strongest she had ever seen or heard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that, she was incredibly grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan... where did he even find this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it something he stumbled upon-or just maybe, something he went out of his way to obtain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter seemed incredibly unlikely.

Yet none dared to voice a complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Bai Clan Leader himself was present, and his aura alone was enough to silence a hundred doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were wise understood well: in this empire, the Bai Clan's word was law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, celebrations brought with them not only congratulations but also schemes. The Heavenly Ice Fairy's name was now known throughout the Desolate Heaven Empire. Her victory against a Heaven's Chosen had elevated her to a height few could reach. Naturally, what followed was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, emissaries and envoys approached Bai Tianheng, their voices honeyed, their words wrapped in courtesy. But beneath it all, their intentions were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marriage proposals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some came from great sects, offering treasures, rare spirit herbs, and promises of alliance if Bai Xueqing could be wed into their lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others came from noble clans, claiming their young geniuses were worthy of standing at her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few even went so far as to suggest political unions that would bind the Bai Clan to entire regions of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the outer halls, gossip swirled like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear?
