Chapter 937: Ice Cloud Ancestor
Mu Bingyun?
Yun Che's brow twitched... Why does that name sound somewhat familiar?
"Mu Bingyun? That's actually the same name as our Ice Cloud Ancestor," Murong Qianxue suddenly said.
"That can be considered a kind of fate," Mu Lanyi interjected.
The two women's words made Yun Che suddenly remember... that's right, the Ice Cloud Ancestor who founded Bing Yun Fairy Palace a thousand years ago was also named Mu Bingyun. What a coincidence.
"It's not just the same name," Mu Xiaolan shook her head. Since what couldn't be said had already been forced out, there was no need to hide that secret anymore. Moreover, it could serve as a reason for Yun Che to save her master. "My master is your Bing Yun Fairy Palace's ancestor! It was my master who founded Bing Yun Fairy Palace a thousand years ago."
Yun Che: "..."
The women of Bing Yun were all slightly stunned. Murong Qianxue then said, "Little girl, I understand your desire to save your master, but you must not speak such nonsense. Our palace's ancestor passed away a thousand years ago, and no one is allowed to desecrate her immortal name."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Seeing that they didn't believe her at all, Mu Xiaolan grew anxious. "A thousand years ago, master was ambushed by Yan... by some bad people. In a critical moment, she forcibly used a dimension stone to escape. When she woke up, she had fallen on this continent. At that time, master was heavily poisoned, and because of her severe injuries, she lost her strength and memory. Bing Yun Fairy Palace was established by the Venerable during the process of recovering her memory and power. Later, when master's power and memory fully recovered, she left this place. She didn't die at all."
"Impossible!" Jun Lianqie firmly shook her head. "How could such a thing happen?"
"Everything I said is true!" Mu Xiaolan became even more anxious. "The reason my master and I appeared here is because she was worried about Bing Yun Fairy Palace. Oh right, I heard master say that the place she left back then was a place she named the Bingyi Temple. On the walls of Bingyi Temple, she carved the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon... ah no no, the divine art of the Ice God Divine Art. The second palace master she passed the throne to was named Qu Aiyin, a baby she picked up at the border of Canglan Kingdom. The name Qu Aiyin was also given by master. And also... at that time, master had two dimension stones on her. She used one to return to Yinxue Realm, and the other, she left at Bingyi Temple, using it to forge a spatial profound formation for escape when Bing Yun Fairy Palace was in crisis."
"Ah..." Murong Qianxue, Mu Lanyi, Jun Lianqie, Chu Yueli, Feng Hanyue, and Feng Hanxue were all dumbfounded. And Yun Che, who possessed the Bing Yun Fairy Soul and knew all the ancestral memories of Bing Yun Fairy Palace, was even more shaken.
Especially since he had just clearly heard the five words "Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon" from Mu Xiaolan's mouth.
At the same time, his mind instantly flashed back to what Mo Li had told him before:
"The Ice God Divine Art suddenly appeared a thousand years ago due to the Bing Yun Ancestor Mu Bingyun, with no records before that. Don't you find it strange? This profound art is not as simple as you think. To cultivate it, one must have the blood or soul of a certain divine beast. Otherwise, even if one has extremely high comprehension and can understand it, they will never be able to release even a fraction of its power."
"...You might as well not waste your effort. Even if you gave them another ten thousand years, they could never master the Ice God Divine Art."
"The reason you and Xia Qingyue were able to cultivate it is because Xia Qingyue possesses the Nine-Xuan Exquisite Body, which can break through the limits of laws to a great extent. As for you, you have the Evil God's Mysterious Vein, which can even defy order and laws. Coupled with the Water Spirit Evil Body, you were able to skip the first four stages and forcibly comprehend the fifth and sixth levels of the Phoenix Ode Scripture. For you to forcibly cultivate the Ice God Divine Art is simply a piece of cake."
"...However, although the Ice God Divine Art you and Xia Qingyue use far exceeds ordinary ice profound arts, it is still far from the true Ice God Divine Art. In fact, the true Ice God Divine Art is an ancient divine art on the same level as the Phoenix Ode Scripture."
"In the ancient era of gods, the Vermilion Bird, Phoenix, and Golden Crow were the three supreme fire lineages. And in the water element, there were also three supreme ones: the Azure Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and Ice Qilin. Since ice is the most powerful form of water, the power of the Ice Phoenix and Ice Qilin is mainly based on ice. Only the Azure Dragon focuses on water, with its ice power slightly inferior to the Ice Phoenix and Ice Qilin."
"And the Ice God Divine Art is an ancient divine art from the Ice Phoenix."
"I can tell you very clearly: in this world, there is absolutely no inheritance of the Ice Phoenix."
Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon...
The [Ice Phoenix] that Mo Li had mentioned before!
And she had specifically said that this world absolutely had no inheritance left by the Ice Phoenix.
Could it be...
"Do you have any other proof?" Yun Che asked with a furrowed brow. He had started to believe Mu Xiaolan's words... because this little girl looked like she simply couldn't lie.
Mu Xiaolan thought hard for a moment, then suddenly stepped back. Blue light flickered faintly all over her body as ice spirits danced. On her outstretched palm, a small ice-blue jade tree slowly grew, spreading out gorgeous icy branches and snow leaves.
"Ah! The Ice God Divine Art!!" The women of Bing Yun all exclaimed in unison.
"..." Yun Che was slightly stunned. His gaze focused on the blue light in Mu Xiaolan's hand, as if attracted by an invisible force, and he didn't look away for a long time. Before him was undoubtedly the Ice God Divine Art. Because growing in Mu Xiaolan's palm was the most commonly used Ice Divine Tree of the Ice God Divine Art. However, the Ice Divine aura released from Mu Xiaolan's body was vastly different from the Ice Divine aura he knew.
The Ice God Divine Art he cultivated was merely a rather powerful ice profound art.
But on Mu Xiaolan, the profound light, profound aura, and the Ice Divine Tree in her hand all seemed to have life, have independent souls, and released a frost law he had never been able to touch.
Could this be what Mo Li said back then... the true Ice God Divine Art, driven by the blood or soul of the Ice Phoenix!?
"This is the Ice God Divine Art that master left here back then. At that time, master's memory had not fully recovered. Although she remembered the divine art, she did not remember its name. 'Ice God Divine Art' was a temporary name she gave it. Its true name is [Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon]. At the same time, master also forgot that cultivating the [Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon] required special conditions that ordinary people simply could not cultivate. When she remembered, she created a new profound art herself. I remember it was called... called the Ice Cloud Art."
"And also!" Mu Xiaolan immediately thought of something else. She quickly reached out and gently brushed over the white-clothed woman's body. Instantly, a small rhombus-shaped ice crystal floated up from the white-clothed woman's body, releasing a strangely dreamy blue light in the air.
"That is... the Bing Yun Fairy Soul!!" The women of Bing Yun exclaimed again.
The Bing Yun Fairy Soul, they all clearly recognized it. Because it was one of the supreme treasures of Bing Yun Fairy Palace, the proof of identity for every generation of palace masters. It contained all the cultivation arts of Bing Yun Fairy Palace and the memories of past palace masters. And in this generation, the Bing Yun Fairy Soul was naturally on Yun Che.
And on the Tian Xuan Continent, the Bing Yun Fairy Soul was unique.
"It is actually not called the Bing Yun Fairy Soul. It is the Ice Phoenix Cold Crystal unique to my Yinxue Realm. Although it is ice, it never melts through the ages. It can merge into a person's body and is also an excellent vessel for the soul."
"This should be enough to prove I'm not lying, right?" Mu Xiaolan said somewhat excitedly. As she spoke, she kept looking at the white-clothed woman in her arms, afraid that she might be in danger.
"Could she really be... the Ice Cloud Ancestor?"
The women of Bing Yun all looked stunned and exchanged glances. Upon first hearing Mu Xiaolan say that the white-clothed woman was their Bing Yun Ancestor who had passed away a thousand years ago, they instinctively didn't believe it. But Mu Xiaolan's words and the numerous proofs she urgently listed were like successive thunderclaps, making them increasingly unable to disbelieve in their shock...
Deep down, they already believed. But their understanding made them completely unable to accept such an unbelievable thing.
"Every word I said is true. The Ice God Divine Art and the Bing Yun Fairy Soul you mentioned... you have no reason not to believe these. Bing Yun Fairy Palace was founded by master a thousand years ago. You are all people of Bing Yun Fairy Palace, and... you also have no reason not to save her."
"Brother Yun?" Feng Xue'er looked at Yun Che's extremely complicated expression and called out softly.
"Whether your master is the Bing Yun Ancestor or not, let's talk about it after she wakes up," Yun Che said. "Come with me."
Yun Che finished speaking, turned around, and walked away quickly.
All the panic on Mu Xiaolan's face turned into hope and joy. She quickly hugged the white-clothed woman tightly and hurriedly followed Yun Che.
The women of Bing Yun stood where they were, each with an expression of unfading shock and bewilderment on their snow-white faces.
"She... she... could she really be the ancestral palace master?" Jun Lianqie said blankly.
"It seems... it really is her," Chu Yueli said softly. The Ice God Divine Art, Bing Yun Fairy Palace, Bingyi Temple, the mysterious teleportation formation, the name Mu Bingyun, the name and background of the second palace master... everything matched perfectly, without even the slightest discrepancy.
And Mu Xiaolan's demeanor also showed no sign of lying at all.
"Oh my god." Feng Hanyue and Feng Hanxue's pink lips opened wide and remained agape for a long time.
Yun Che led Mu Xiaolan straight to the Condensed Snow Hall. A cold aura significantly stronger than elsewhere, mixed with a rich medicinal fragrance, rushed toward them.
"Put her on the ice bed," Yun Che commanded.
As a person from the God Realm, now being ordered around by someone from the "lower realm", Mu Xiaolan did not dare to show any resistance. She quickly followed his instructions and carefully placed the white-clothed woman on the ice bed in front of Yun Che.
Yun Che's gaze swept over the white-clothed woman, then he glanced sideways at Mu Xiaolan. "What are you still doing here? Get out quickly, and close the door behind you. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter."
"Ah?" Mu Xiaolan's mouth fell open. She had witnessed Yun Che's "beastly behavior" earlier, so how could she accept leaving her master... alone in a room with him while she was completely defenseless? "Wh-why do I have to leave? I can help on the side."
"Little girl, don't you know that a divine doctor cannot have any disturbance around when saving someone? You should know very well how serious your master's condition is. If any mistake occurs while I'm saving her, she will definitely die completely. Are you sure you want to stay?"
Yun Che's words immediately intimidated Mu Xiaolan. With her master's life at stake, she dared not say more. She stepped back slightly and said in a small voice, "Then I... will go out. You must save my master."
She shuffled away step by step, each step filled with extreme reluctance. Finally, she walked out of the Condensed Snow Hall. When the door was half closed, it suddenly opened again, and her little head poked in. "I... I warn you, don't do anything improper to my master."
After saying that, she quickly closed the door and fled away.
Yun Che: "..."
Facing the white-clothed woman lying on the ice bed, Yun Che took a shallow breath and quickly calmed his mind. Mu Xiaolan's explanation, coupled with what Mo Li had said before, and the fact that they had appeared above Bing Yun Fairy Palace... Yun Che could now be certain that she was indeed Mu Bingyun, who founded Bing Yun Fairy Palace a thousand years ago.
The name of Bing Yun Fairy Palace was taken from her name "Bing Yun".
In the memories and legends about the Bing Yun Ancestor, it was said that she "ascended" in Bingyi Temple, yet no one had ever seen her corpse.
The memory information carried by the Bing Yun Fairy Soul contained the appearances of all Bing Yun palace masters throughout history, but uniquely lacked the ancestor Mu Bingyun.
These anomalies were also perfectly explained in the face of this unbelievable truth.
Yun Che extended both hands and began to rapidly circulate the Desolate God's Power, but he did not immediately release the purifying power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl.
Because there was one thing he had to be extremely cautious about.
Regardless of whether the white-clothed woman in front of him was Mu Bingyun or not, she was definitely a person from the God Realm. And in that plane, there must be many records about the Heavenly Poison Pearl... On the day he first met Mo Li, Mo Li, who had never seen the Heavenly Poison Pearl before, recognized it at a glance.
The poison the white-clothed woman had suffered was too deep. Not only had it spread to her heart veins, profound veins, and bone marrow, but it had also invaded her soul, just like Mo Li back then. It could only be purified extremely slowly. His earlier statement to Mu Xiaolan that it would take a month was not an exaggeration.
For an entire month, using the Heavenly Poison Pearl to detoxify a person from the God Realm whose profound strength was unknown... the possibility of the Heavenly Poison Pearl being recognized was undoubtedly high.
But given her condition, there was simply no other way to save her except with the Heavenly Poison Pearl.
Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. Her original intention in founding Bing Yun Fairy Palace was to save those poor abandoned women. She shouldn't be an ungrateful person...
Moreover, if she could take him to the God Realm of All Gods to find Mo Li, it would be completely worth the risk!
With his thoughts racing, Yun Che turned his palm and placed it over the white-clothed woman's heart. A dense aura of heaven and earth instantly surged into her heart veins, and a faint purifying light flickered in his palm.

The name [Yinxue Realm] is not chosen well... not well...
Sigh!!
