Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"What a terrifying aura!"

"It’s just like a real Frost Giant Dragon."

"What kind of heavenly treasure is this?"

...

"Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow!"

"Good heavens, such shocking Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow is simply unparalleled in the world. I’ve never even heard of a treasure like this appearing before."

Qin Qian’s eyes burned red with awe.

For cultivators pursuing the path of Ice, in Black and White Star Heaven, this is absolutely one of the most precious, rare treasures.

"Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow? This is actually Immortal Marrow?" Zhou Tai cried out in shock.

Qin Qian instantly cooled down. This was Liou Xueyan’s fortune, unrelated to anyone else.

He glanced at Ji Hong and the others, sneered, "Of course it’s Immortal Marrow! A peerless treasure. With this, Miss Liou has an enormous chance to evolve her seventh-grade Immortal Foundation to the eighth grade!"

"What?"

"Capable of transforming the Immortal Foundation... Hiss!"

Everyone’s scalps tingled.

Liou Xueyan was already monstrous enough—in this place she’d obtained countless heavenly treasures. By relying on the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map, once she left, she would definitely suppress the contemporary geniuses of Northern Continent, and even in the Eastern Continent, she could make a resounding name for herself!

If her Immortal Foundation evolved to the eighth grade...

For her, Northern Continent would be too small a stage.

The Eastern Continent would be her true domain. Upon arriving there, she would surely stir up a storm across Eastern Continent.

An eighth-grade Immortal Foundation, a peerless fairy!

Yang Yuan couldn’t help but feel sour all over.

He could only keep comforting himself.

"Hmph, don’t even think about contending with Miss Liou. Here, your strengths are suppressed by the cold, so you’re no match for her. Besides, just the might of this Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow is enough to overwhelm all of you combined."

"This is a fortune destined by Heaven for Miss Liou."

Qin Qian mocked coldly, feeling happy for Liou Xueyan and even proud by association!

Luo Jiang suddenly sneered, "Liou Xueyan? Hmph, because of her, your Ice and Snow Immortal Palace lost over a hundred disciples!"

With these words, Qin Qian’s face turned ashen, speechless in an instant.

Even he had nearly died because of Liou Xueyan.

To say there was no resentment in his heart would be a lie.

Seeing Qin Qian fall silent, Luo Jiang smirked disdainfully, looked up again, his expression growing grim, until finally releasing a bitter, long sigh.

"Forget it. Let’s go look for other heavenly treasures."

It was simply impossible to stop her!

Besides, even if they could, if they tried to seize such fortune from Ice and Snow Immortal Palace territory, that would be a blood feud—a battle to the death, snatching treasure at the cost of lives!

Luo Jiang, Ji Hong, and the others had no choice but to accept it.

Liou Xueyan’s rise is like a raging fire, blazing and unstoppable—no one can hinder her!

Everyone fell silent for a long time, then departed one after another.

...

Beneath the Cold Vein.

The Celestial Cauldron stood as always.

Within the Lesser Immortal Realm, Xu Yang had already reached a state of cultivation bordering on insanity.

The Cold Vein’s power was inexhaustible, so abundant he didn’t need to worry about resources at all.

He only wished he could split into countless incarnations to devour it all.

Five-fold heavenly tempering, six-fold, seven...

He never once stalled or hesitated midway.

Even though further breakthroughs required more advancement after each evolution, Xu Yang chose the most direct approach, refusing to refine Purest Essence Qi, instead channeling the cold energy straight into his body—enduring the frigid shock and tempering, drastically shortening the time needed.

He’d never fought such a bountiful campaign.

Even the hatred in his heart toward Liou Xueyan was greatly diminished.

Boom!

The edge of the Lesser Immortal Realm suddenly shook violently, setting off wild, raging waves.

"The twelfth tempering is complete."

"Next is the final step—completing the twelvefold heavenly tempering, achieving true perfection!"

Xu Yang licked his lips, eyes bloodshot yet not remotely weary, his spirit soaring.

To forge an Immortal Foundation at the quickest speed is the best outcome.

Right now was the best opportunity.

Once he left this place, he’d never encounter such heaven-sent fortune again!

The next instant—

He stirred the Lesser Immortal Realm, drawing the cold energy into his body.

Crack, crack, crack!

Blood, bones, Immortal Essence, Immortal Seed, even his Primordial Spirit, were all instantly frozen.

RUMBLE!!

Xu Yang erupted in madness, his bones shrieking, his figure trembling as if fighting for his life, furiously shattering the frozen cold within—under ceaseless cycles, his physique and Immortal Seed advanced at an astonishing rate.

Soon after, the time was right.

Xu Yang’s form flickered, appearing at the edge of the Lesser Immortal Realm.

At a single thought—

Vast cold energy and Purest Essence Qi flooded his body.

RUMBLE!!

Even the void of the dantian echoed thunderously, nearly shattering and recombining beneath a terrifying twist.

Yet Xu Yang paid it no mind, continually intensifying his refinement.

Crack!

The Immortal Seed erupted with earthshaking force, fully twisting apart the void of the dantian, grinding it to pieces.

Pain washed over him, yet Xu Yang held steadfast, continuing to operate the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture.

The Immortal Seed’s surging waves madly radiated outward—ten thousandfold tempering, twenty thousandfold, thirty thousandfold...

The surges flowed like a roaring river, swiftly submerging the shattered void, reorganizing it, expanding exponentially!

Xu Yang trembled all over, his skin cracking, every bone shattering.

Yet his spine remained straight, his body radiating dazzling immortal light.

Muscles, blood, bones—everything underwent a terrifying, miraculous transformation, a nirvanic rebirth!

In the end, his body turned transparent, streams of essence carrying blood seeped out of him, faintly revealing crystalline Immortal Vein prototypes—if one looked closely, there were one hundred and eight!

Understand this: in comparison to Yang Yuan, a seventh-grade Immortal Foundation in the True Immortal Realm only has sixty-three Immortal Veins.

Xu Yang hadn’t even broken through yet, but already possessed one hundred and eight Immortal Vein prototypes.

Innately, he possessed a vast advantage over others.

This is the twelve-grade Immortal Foundation.

After forging it, each advance and transformation surpasses all imagination.

All these changes, Xu Yang was oblivious to.

He had no idea how much time had passed.

A menacing devouring force suddenly sprouted from the Celestial Cauldron.

The remaining power of the Immortal Talismans protecting the cauldron was instantly shattered.

The surrounding Cold Vein Fragments’ energy was crazily drawn into the cauldron, becoming a surging torrent.

If anyone witnessed this, their eyes would shoot out of their sockets!

Qin Qian and the others could hardly move here, yet Xu Yang could devour so recklessly—it was like a dream, making one wonder who the real Ice-path cultivator was.

This devouring continued for several hours.

Boom!

The Celestial Cauldron boomed and rang.

Xu Yang abruptly opened his eyes, thunderous immortal light shooting from them, piercing the cauldron’s boundless void.

Immediately, the entire void stirred with wind and clouds—immortal lotus, starry rainbow, radiant clouds...wondrous visions abounded.

Finally, these miraculous phenomena coalesced into a giant lotus platform, set like an altar above the clouds, sacred and flawless, vast and majestic, as though an imposing celestial domain suppressing the mortal world.

The twelve-grade immortal lotus was manifest, vivid and lifelike.

Boom!

Xu Yang’s body trembled violently, his eyes bulging wide, as the one hundred and eight Immortal Veins within were instantly opened up.

For a moment, he seemed to behold, high above the nine heavens, a towering ancient stele standing proud, suppressing the immortal realms for ten thousand generations!

Beneath the ancient stele, the Celestial Destiny List and the other great ranking hovered, immortal light like waterfalls, grand and unparalleled.

The Celestial Destiny List in Xu Yang’s eyes suddenly expanded and magnified, with unmatched oppression and divinity pouring forth upon him.

At the same time—

Nine Moon Encircles Heaven, Golden Light Taihao Sky, Taihao Ancient Continent—all the Celestial Destiny List cultivators, whether fighting or secluded in training, quaked as one, looking up toward the heavens.

Destiny emerged in their eyes, immortal light swirling.

"Do you wish to enter the Celestial Destiny?"

"I refuse!"

Xu Yang refused without hesitation.

He had already refused the first time—how could he possibly accept the second?

He hadn’t expected that, even after being rejected, Destiny would still reappear.

At the very moment he refused, across the heavens, the Celestial Destiny Lists in the eyes of prodigies everywhere suddenly shattered and vanished.

Obscure ripples slowly arose in everyone’s hearts, then all were shocked speechless.

"An enemy of Destiny has appeared?"

"To go against Destiny is to be shunned by Fate, to become the foe of all chosen by Destiny. Hunting him...will grant..."
