# Chapter 945: Yin Xue Realm
The air was completely evacuated, and everything around seemed to vanish into nothingness. The sudden influx of flowing light made Yun Che close his eyes in an instant. When he slowly opened them again, before him was a world he could not comprehend—sometimes dark, sometimes dazzling with color.
His own body was hurtling through this world at an incredible speed.
"This is the rift between spaces. You can also think of it as a spatial tunnel."
Mu Bingyun's voice reached his ears. The three of them stood together, surrounded by an ice-blue spherical barrier, its outer edges shimmering with dazzling profound array patterns.
"We're currently undergoing spatial travel. This must be your first time. There'll be plenty more things in the future that will shock you, hmph." Mu Xiaolan said with a hint of pride.
Spatial travel... spatial tunnel... the rift between spaces?
Yun Che looked at the surrounding world. In just a few moments, the spatial light stabbed his eyes until they turned white. He quickly closed them, waited a while, then reopened them, asking doubtfully, "Since we're traveling through space, why can I still hear sounds? And it doesn't feel all that different."
"Because of the isolation barrier," Mu Bingyun explained. "Short-distance spatial crossing isn't dangerous, but long-distance, extended spatial travel could easily produce dangerous dimensional storms. The dimensional stones we're using are extremely rare spatial profound stones, but their power is limited—far inferior to dimensional arrays driven by massive energy. So while they can be carried on one's person, they travel slowly and are relatively easy to track. For a crossing from Tian Xuan Continent to Yin Xue Realm at this distance, we have to open this barrier that can isolate dimensional storms."
"However, once you reach the Divine Sovereign Realm, you can hide within the spatial rift without relying on any external force, survive there for long periods, and not fear spatial storms at all."
Divine Sovereign Realm... Yun Che sighed inwardly. He had learned from Mu Bingyun about the existence of the Seven Divine Xuan Realms and clearly understood just how powerful the Divine Sovereign Realm was. But it was far too distant and ethereal for him—a realm of divine cultivation he dared not even hope for.
"Fairy Mu, if one day I want to return to Tian Xuan Continent, can I also use this kind of dimensional stone?" Yun Che asked.
"Hmph, dream on!" Before Mu Bingyun could answer, Mu Xiaolan shot him a glare. "This is a dimensional stone! Anything involving space is extremely precious even in the God Realm! Even for someone as noble as Master, on average she only receives one dimensional stone every hundred years or so."
Then she muttered under her breath, "All the dimensional stones Master has saved up in her lifetime have been used almost entirely for traveling back and forth to Tian Xuan Continent in recent years."
Yun Che: "..."
"Don't worry," Mu Bingyun said gently. "When you've fulfilled your wishes, or whenever you want to return, I'll find a way to send you back to Tian Xuan Continent. However, I probably won't go to Lan Ji Star again in this life, so I won't be able to take you to the God Realm a second time. So you must think carefully about the timing of your return."
"Mm." Yun Che nodded. "Thank you, Fairy Mu."
Mu Xiaolan pouted slightly and whispered, "Master is just too gentle. She's even this good to a big bad guy like him..."
A quarter of an hour passed, and Mu Bingyun spoke calmly, "We've arrived."
The moment her voice fell, the world before Yun Che's eyes instantly switched, becoming a vast expanse of white. A biting cold wind rushed toward him.
They were now tens of thousands of zhang above the ground. Looking down, below was a massive white world, filled with ice mist and covered in glaciers. Every corner of this world seemed buried under thick ice or snow.
Yin Xue Realm—a star realm covered in eternal ice and snow.
Yun Che's first breath in this world made him freeze in place. The air here was cold, but incredibly pure—almost to an unbelievable degree. The breath entering his body even sharpened his five senses.
Although he had mentally prepared himself, the elemental aura filling the air and the entire space was still so dense that it stunned him. This was not just a few times more concentrated than Lan Ji Star—it was at least ten times, maybe even dozens of times.
In this world, the speed at which his Desolate God's Power circulated suddenly increased, and the flow of heaven and earth's aura toward his body was several times faster. In such an environment, Yun Che's profound force and injuries would undoubtedly recover at a greatly accelerated pace.
"So this is the God Realm?" Yun Che murmured involuntarily. The beings here actually lived and cultivated in such an environment. Compared to the richness and purity of this realm's aura, the aura of Lan Ji Star was as murky and filthy as swamp mud.
Mu Bingyun was not surprised by Yun Che's astonished expression. She said calmly, "The level of aura and laws in the God Realm far surpasses that of your Lan Ji Star. Since you've just arrived, you may experience a long period of discomfort due to this aura—things like dizziness, weakness, difficulty breathing, and so on. It should take about a month to fully adapt. After that, you'll find that your cultivation speed in this world far exceeds what it was in your original world."
"Discomfort?" Yun Che blinked. "I don't feel any. In fact, it feels incredibly comfortable."
"Oh?" Mu Bingyun glanced at Yun Che and noticed that his complexion was normal, his eyes were clear rather than dazed, and his breathing was extremely steady. She was slightly surprised but didn't think much of it, nodding. "Perhaps it hasn't had time to set in yet. If you feel unusual later, just don't worry about it. I'll take you to the Ice Phoenix Realm now."
Ice Phoenix Realm?
Mu Bingyun raised her hand and gently tapped. A flash of light appeared, and in front of them materialized a thin, diamond-shaped ice crystal over two zhang long. As soon as it appeared, dozens of radiant ice spirits instantly sprang forth, dancing and shimmering around it.
"What's this?" Yun Che asked in surprise.
"Rube, just follow us and stop asking questions all the time. It's so annoying." Mu Xiaolan impatiently pushed Yun Che onto the ice crystal with her hand, then twisted her slender waist and landed on it herself, turning her back to him.
Yun Che looked at her petite back and gritted his teeth. *This little girl—I'm such a perfect man, yet she finds fault with me in every way... Could she be a lesbian?*
*Fine, you can be smug for now. Once I get familiar with this place, I swear I'll pat your butt three times every day!*
"Let's go."
Mu Bingyun murmured softly, and instantly the ice crystal tore through space, carrying the three of them flying toward the pale, boundless world.
Snow-capped mountains, icy rivers, glaciers... This was entirely a world of ice and snow, with ice elements dominating the realm's aura.
The realm's level was extremely high, and the overwhelmingly rich aura not only failed to cause the discomfort Mu Bingyun had mentioned, but instead made Yun Che feel an increasing sense of bliss, as if he were in a dreamy fairyland. He bathed in this God Realm aura, his eyes gazing at the divine domain below, and his heart churned for a long time.
*I've finally come to this legendary world... In Lan Ji Star, I was invincible under heaven, but in this world, I am probably a rather insignificant existence.*
*What awaits me ahead? Can I really see Mo Li again...*
*The Golden Crow Soul Spirit said that if I don't see her within five years, I'll never be able to see her for the rest of my life. Why is that...*
Yun Che's hands slowly clenched. Although his purpose in coming to the God Realm was by no means to pursue a higher level of power, he understood perfectly that in any plane, the most important thing for achieving one's goals was always sufficient power.
In the God Realm, the lifespans of top-tier powerhouses were extremely long. Their extreme strength often came hand in hand with cultivation periods of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
Five years—in this world, it was far too short. For those powerhouses, it could be called "a snap of the fingers." But for him, only this brief time remained. Even so, before the "Profound God Convention" that Mu Bingyun had mentioned, his main task in Yin Xue Realm was to do everything possible to increase his strength. Because every bit more power meant a bit more hope of seeing Mo Li.
While improving his strength, he also had to follow the three rules set by Xiao Yaohou: don't cause trouble, don't provoke trouble, don't commit offenses... In short, the only thing to do during his time in Yin Xue Realm was to focus on cultivation.
Yun Che made this decision.
"Fairy Mu, I have a question I'd like to ask," Yun Che said. "You mentioned that to cultivate the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon, one needs Ice Phoenix Blood or an Ice Phoenix Soul. So, does becoming a disciple of the Ice Phoenix God Sect mean you can obtain Ice Phoenix Blood or an Ice Phoenix Soul? Isn't there a risk of the bloodline or technique leaking out?"
The Fenghuang God Sect, which inherited the Phoenix bloodline, was a pure clan-based sect, extremely strict about controlling its bloodline... and that was the reason for his grudge with the Fenghuang God Sect.
Although the planes were different, the nature should be similar. But from Mu Bingyun's earlier description, the Ice Phoenix God Sect in Yin Xue Realm didn't seem to be that way.
"This matter cannot be explained in just a few words." Mu Bingyun gave Yun Che an answer that slightly surprised him. She paused briefly, then chose to explain: "A long time ago, the Ice Phoenix God Sect was a semi-clan-based force. Although they accepted outside disciples, the numbers were very small, the control was extremely strict, and they mainly only accepted female disciples. However, because the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon is an ice-based divine art, combined with the environment of Yin Xue Realm, men who cultivate the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon have great difficulty fathering children, and women have great difficulty conceiving."
Yun Che: "..."
"Reproduction has always been the greatest pain point of Yin Xue Realm, and even more so for the Ice Phoenix God Sect. The most direct consequence is that the number of disciples in each generation of the Ice Phoenix God Sect has been sharply decreasing."
"The Ice Phoenix God Sect holds a supreme position in Yin Xue Realm, so high that it is indispensable. In other star realms, there are often multiple major forces standing together—several, or even a dozen sects jointly dominating and leading a star realm. But in Yin Xue Realm, our Ice Phoenix God Sect stands alone, with no rival to be found. If the Ice Phoenix God Sect declines, Yin Xue Realm's status in the God Realm will plummet, and one day it might even degenerate into a lower star realm."
"Therefore, the Ice Phoenix God Sect had no choice but to relax its sect rules, accepting a large number of externally talented disciples. Later, even ascendants from lower realms, as long as they had sufficient talent and passed the assessment, could enter the sect."
"And... the bloodline?" Yun Che asked curiously.
"Not everyone who enters the sect can obtain the Ice Phoenix bloodline," Mu Bingyun said. "For example, disciples of the Falling Snow Palace can only cultivate other ice profound arts of the Ice Phoenix God Sect, without the qualifications to touch the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon. The same applies to those who enter the Cold Snow Hall, though they have access to higher-level ice profound arts."
"But if one can enter the Ice Phoenix Palace, they can obtain a single drop of Ice Phoenix Blood diluted ten thousand times, and they can formally cultivate the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon. However, such a diluted Ice Phoenix bloodline cannot be passed on to the next generation at all, so there is no need to worry about divine blood leaking out."
Diluted... ten thousand times...
Yun Che's mouth twitched violently. *That's way too stingy!!*
*And this is apparently the treatment for high-level disciples!*
"If one can enter the Ice Phoenix Temple, they can obtain a single drop of Ice Phoenix Blood diluted a thousand times. If they gain the favor of an elder, they might even receive a bestowal of essence blood, making their divine blood more concentrated." Mu Bingyun closed her eyes. "What I bestowed upon the six from Bing Yun Fairy Palace earlier was a drop of my essence blood. It can not only help them cultivate the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon, but it can also be passed down for about five generations."
"..." Yun Che parted his lips slightly. For Bing Yun Fairy Palace, Mu Bingyun indeed had an extraordinary affection. Perhaps her immense gift to Bing Yun Fairy Palace was also closely related to the fact that she had been reborn there.
"And if one can become a personal disciple of the Realm King, they can obtain a single complete drop of Ice Phoenix Source Blood. This should be the ultimate pursuit of all profound practitioners in Yin Xue Realm." Mu Bingyun said softly.
"..." Yun Che stared blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
"Alas," Mu Bingyun sighed softly. "Ice Phoenix divine blood is extremely precious and non-renewable. Every drop used is one less. Therefore, most of the bloodline given to Ice Phoenix Palace disciples is not even source blood, but essence blood released from a certain direct descendant. Only when encountering someone with exceptionally high talent can they be granted a complete drop of source blood, and be personally taught by the Realm King..."
"This is also the most helpless thing about our Ice Phoenix God Sect. The divine power or divine bloodlines of other forces can be passed down through generations of reproduction, spreading far and wide. Even without accepting outside disciples, they grow stronger and more prosperous with each generation. But our Ice Phoenix clan—the higher one cultivates the Ice Phoenix God-Sealing Canon, the harder it becomes to reproduce. Relying solely on bloodline inheritance, the sect would weaken generation after generation. We can only maintain prosperity by recruiting a large number of disciples from outside clans. But Ice Phoenix divine blood is already scarce, and it will eventually run out. The long-term future of the Ice Phoenix God Sect... is truly worrying."
Having said that, Mu Bingyun sighed again. She had explained this because she thought Yun Che's expression was one of surprise at the Ice Phoenix God Sect's strange "system," but she completely misunderstood. What shocked Yun Che was the stinginess of the Ice Phoenix God Palace—the number one sect in Yin Xue Realm!!
High-level disciples only got one ten-thousandth of a drop of Ice Phoenix Blood... and it was likely essence blood released from some descendant.
Core disciples only got one-thousandth of a drop of Ice Phoenix Blood.
On average, one personal disciple of the Realm King appeared every thousand years or so, and even they only received a single drop of Ice Phoenix source blood!?
And on his own body, he currently had three drops of Phoenix Blood, six drops of Dragon God Blood, and nine drops of Golden Crow Blood—all source blood!!
What's more, he had Dragon God's Marrow, which could continuously generate Dragon God Blood on its own! His current Dragon God bloodline was already so concentrated that even he would be shocked if he said it out loud.
This was Yin Xue Realm—a place at a plane countless times higher than the world he came from—and they were this pathetic!?
Then, upon reflection, he began to feel relieved. The divine inheritances of Tian Xuan Continent and the Huan Yao Realm had only been discovered recently, and very few people could receive bestowals... In particular, the Dragon God inheritance—he was the only one to pass the trial. So naturally, he could directly obtain source blood.
The only exception was the Fenghuang God Sect. In its five-thousand-year history, the sect no longer had any source blood... because the last few dozen drops of Phoenix Blood had all been bestowed upon Feng Xue'er.
In the God Realm, with a whole million years of history... being able to retain some source blood could be considered quite rare. But then again, if not for the reproduction limitations of the Ice Phoenix clan, they wouldn't have needed to forcibly preserve some source blood.
