Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"Miss Liou is coming out."

"So beautiful, just like a celestial maiden from the Upper Realm."

"Now that Miss Liou has emerged, who among the proud geniuses of the Northern Province can contend with her? Luo Jiang from Guiyuan Sect, or even Yang Yuan, who entered the Immortal Pride List of Black Fire Immortal Mountain—how could either compare?"

"Today, after Miss Liou takes command of the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map, there will be no equal across the Northern Province; even if she heads to the Eastern Continent, she could win the title of a world-shaking peerless genius."

...

As Liou Xueyan appeared, the disciples of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace all boiled with excitement, their gazes blazing, full of reverence and admiration.

Ji Hong, Yang Yuan, Luo Jiang, and the rest all wore grave expressions.

At this moment, Liou Xueyan stood tall atop an ice sculpture, her whole being radiating light. Her immortal robes drifted like ribbons of lucent jade; her beauty unrivaled, peerless in grace.

"She truly deserves to be called an unrivaled celestial maiden!"

The radiant Liou Xueyan made Xu Yang squint from the dazzling brilliance.

"I welcome all fellow Daoists to our Ice and Snow Immortal Palace. If the hospitality is lacking, I beg your pardon!"

"Today, our palace’s disciple Liou Xueyan shall wield the ancient immortal treasure, the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map. That you may witness this is an honor to our humble halls!"

"Xueyan, begin."

In the void, an imposing, resplendent matronly figure appeared, her head crowned in regal grandeur. Her presence suppressed the heavens and earth; her solemn, rolling voice caused the vast glacier itself to slightly tremble.

It was none other than the Palace Master of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, Immortal Cangxue, a top-tier Golden Immortal.

At her command, Liou Xueyan nodded lightly.

In the next instant, she floated gracefully up, her jade-like feet stepping into the void, every step blossoming into a lotus.

Beneath her, chilling air condensed into a bridge, embraced by prismatic arcs of light amid heaven and earth—stunning as a rainbow spanning the sky, truly astonishing to behold.

Whoosh!

Immortal light exploded brilliantly.

Between heaven and earth, a wholly silver ancient scroll suddenly unfurled.

On the scroll, silver lines embossed like ice crystal imprints ringed the edges, blooming into clusters of ice crystal snow lotuses; at the very center, it was a writhing patch of darkness.

At its appearance, it was nothing less than a black hole, devouring the universe, making hearts and spirits fall into silence!

Xu Yang’s heart pounded madly. This treasure was indeed terrifying—a well-deserved third-rank ancient immortal treasure of inheritance.

A shocking wave of cold surged forth like a deluge, making Xu Yang feel as if plunged into an ice cellar, chilled to the marrow.

Even Ji Hong could barely withstand it, shuddering uncontrollably.

The Fourth Elder waved his sleeve.

An invisible barrier enveloped the surroundings, causing that dreadful coldness to finally recede.

Xu Yang looked up, heart still racing in fright.

With such a supreme treasure, to control it would absolutely not be easy.

He saw Liou Xueyan advancing step by step.

All around her gleamed silver immortal light, transforming into silvery streamers. Under her Primordial Spirit’s control, these billowed and surged, one Dharma Seal after another appearing out of thin air, swirling like snowflakes, ice crystals encircling her.

Until, before the Immortal Puppet Map, Liou Xueyan suddenly halted, her delicate form shivering.

A myriad of terrifying immortal seals slowly converged around her, shaping into a vast, hovering ice crystal snow lotus—crystalline, flawless, and immaculate, as though the purest thing in all the world, mesmerizing everyone present.

"What a terrifying aura!"

Xu Yang’s voice trembled.

Just the aura emanating from that snow lotus felt like a giant mountain of ice, immensely oppressive.

Even separated by the barrier set by the Fourth Elder, he still felt his hair stand on end—a primal instinctive dread.

"The Profound Immortal Snow Lotus Seal, Ice and Snow Immortal Palace’s premier immortal seal Divine Technique—unmatched for speed, defense, and offense."

"To be in the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal and manifest an eighteen-petaled snow lotus—this woman’s talent in the way of ice is absolutely supreme!"

The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes, muttering. His low voice drifted to Xu Yang’s ears: "But, to control this immortal treasure by this seal alone—still not enough!"

Not enough?

Xu Yang widened his eyes.

At that moment, Liou Xueyan moved again.

Buzz!

A mass of snowy mist surged from her brow, manifesting before her.

The snow mist roared forth, woven as though formed of countless minute snowflakes.

Suddenly—

Within, a blue shadow abruptly emerged.

"Snow Mist Blue Shadow... hiss!"

The Fourth Elder’s whole body trembled, sucking in a cold breath, face full of shock.

"Elder, what is that?" Yang Yuan asked in terror.

Xu Yang also turned to look.

"A unique treasure that can transform the primordial spirit’s form, only birthed from a Golden Immortal’s corpse by special means."

"A Golden Immortal’s corpse?"

The disciples of Black Fire Immortal Mountain all paled as one, utterly stunned.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but swallow hard.

What a grand gesture.

This is just astonishing.

To use a Golden Immortal’s corpse as the source, nurturing a transformed primordial spirit—it’s simply unbelievable.

"No wonder Ice and Snow Immortal Palace is so confident—they actually let her refine such a treasure."

"Liou Xueyan’s current primordial spirit realm has surpassed even most Late Stage Celestial Immortals; with the terrifying cold intent contained in this Snow Mist Blue Shadow, she’s even more formidable!"

"To wield the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map, there’s no suspense at all!"

The Fourth Elder could not stop exclaiming in awe.

Though in our own sect, we have a Yang Yuan and a Xu Yang—

Yet at this moment, before Liou Xueyan, all are overshadowed.

Not to mention the entire Black and White Starry Heavens, at least in the Northern Province, she is undoubtedly the contemporary number one!

The disciples of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace were burning with fanaticism, gazing at the celestial Liou Xueyan, wishing they could kneel at the hem of her skirt.

Buzz!

Swish!

The Snow Mist Blue Shadow suddenly fell onto the snow lotus.

Liou Xueyan spat a mouthful of essence blood, sprinkling it down. The snow mist, the blue shadow, the snow lotus, all took on a blood-red hue.

In the next moment, the snow lotus spun skyward; within the snow mist, the blue shadow seemed to come alive, pinching great dharma seals of immortal light, shooting like lightning into the darkness at the center of the Immortal Puppet Map.

Splurt!

Rumble!

The darkness writhed, wildly expanding.

The Immortal Puppet Map shook violently, swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a blink, it covered a thousand miles in every direction.

The frigid air soared to the heavens, condensing into dancing silvery snowflakes, freezing all in its path.

Even the clouds in the sky froze at that moment!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The commotion intensified. Liou Xueyan’s eyes clenched shut, as if wrestling with the very essence of the Immortal Puppet Map.

Amid the endless snowflakes filling the world, silver immortal seals suddenly arose, darting about like exquisite jewels; the space itself contorted, seeming on the verge of shattering—breathtaking in its wonder.

The cold tide swept for a thousand miles, blizzards howled; lotus shadows bloomed on snowy peaks, glaciers exhaled auspicious radiance, colorful immortal light danced like elves in the snow—phenomena unfolded in abundance, each vying to outshine the rest, leaving all the onlookers wide-eyed and stunned.

This spectacle endured for nearly half an hour.

Liou Xueyan’s face turned deathly pale, her body trembling like a sieve, even blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Yet suddenly, the otherworldly wonders of heaven and earth froze; the darkness at the heart of the ancient map surged like a tide, freezing everything in an instant.

Rumble!

Liou Xueyan’s eyes snapped open.

The darkness frantically contracted once more.

A blue shadow flashed over the Immortal Puppet Map, while a vivid snow lotus imprint materialized on each edge of the scroll.

Swish!

Liou Xueyan stepped forward, appearing below the Immortal Puppet Map, her hand uplifted heavenward in a graceful arc.

Buzz!

The Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map settled into her palm, crackling and roaring.

"It’s done."

A wave of exultant cheers erupted, celebrating Liou Xueyan’s triumph.

She gazed down from on high, holding the map aloft, looking over the crowd below—then suddenly smiled.

It was like a snow lotus in full bloom: cold and proud, singularly gorgeous, making even this land of ice and snow pale into insignificance by comparison.

"Hundred-Battle Extreme Immortals—manifest!"

Her chilly command resounded abruptly through heaven and earth.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Mighty waves arose atop the Immortal Puppet Map.

Boundless cold erupted, and one after another, immortal puppets coalesced in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred towering immortal puppets appeared between heaven and earth, forming a battle formation.

All were clad in silver armor and wielded ice blades, radiating a terrifying cold equal to the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal.

The murderous intent filled the land, the chill was bone-piercing!

A hundred Celestial Immortal puppet warriors!

In this moment, upon the glacier, all fell utterly silent; the gathered geniuses were unanimously shaken to their core!
