C102 Ice Crystal Fire Body(1)

Woo Zhengyang found himself flustered after being flirted with by a woman, especially one from an era long past. However, hearing the wistful tone in her voice, he quickly put aside his embarrassment. He realized that despite her open-mindedness, she couldn't fully let go of the thought that she and her sect might no longer exist.

"What did you just do to me?" Woo Zhengyang asked softly, hoping to change the subject and distract her from those thoughts.

Instead of answering, she asked, "What were you so shocked about earlier?"

"Shocked?" Woo Zhengyang was puzzled. He hadn't been shocked; he had been enduring endless pain!

"The Ice Crystal Fire Body, you dummy!"

"Oh, so it was that earlier..." Woo Zhengyang was exasperated. While he was suffering, she hadn't even considered it a big deal, only remembering his earlier shock.

Before he could dwell on it, Woo Zhengyang's eyes widened in disbelief. "Could it be... you transformed me into an Ice Crystal Fire Body... that's impossible..."

The thought crossed his mind but was quickly dismissed. Such a unique constitution was innate and had never been known to be artificially created, which was why it was so rare and valuable.

"Hehe... you are indeed now an Ice Crystal Fire Body!"

"How is that possible..." Woo Zhengyang still couldn't believe it. Even ancient people couldn't defy nature like this! Could it be that these young women were all transformed after birth?

"For others, it might be impossible, but for the Ice Crystal Fire Palace... well, it's actually quite challenging!"

Woo Zhengyang was momentarily speechless. This woman still had the presence of mind to joke.

The woman chuckled softly and continued, "However, young man, you're in luck. The core of the Ice Crystal Fire Formation here is something I crafted using the essence of the Nine Nether Cold Ice and the Profound Heaven Fire. Both are rare treasures, and after countless years, the energy they contain is immeasurable."

"The two lights you just sent into my body—were they the essence of the Nine Nether Cold Ice and the Profound Heaven Fire?" Woo Zhengyang asked quietly, recalling the blue and red lights.

"That's right. I've integrated them into your body and spent considerable effort to cleanse your impurities. I've transformed you into an Ice Crystal Fire Body. As for how powerful your new form is, I'm curious myself... Could it possibly rival mine? Probably not! Hehe..."

"Um... thank you for your generosity, Palace Lord!" Woo Zhengyang initially wanted to address her as a senior, but despite her ancient existence, she retained a youthful innocence that made it difficult for him to use such a formal title.

"Generosity or not, it doesn't matter. I just hope I've entrusted the right person. Please take good care of my disciples in the future!"

"I will not fail you!" Even though he couldn't see her, Woo Zhengyang bowed respectfully.

"That's good. The Ice Crystal Fire Body is a rare dual spirit form, and to control it, you need our 'Ice Crystal Fire Technique.' However, with my current soul power, I can't teach it to you. Let Bing and the others handle it."

"Bing?"

"Yes, the four people ahead. They're named Bing, Jing, Li, and Huo. Just from their names, you can tell how important they are to our Ice Crystal Fire Palace. Make sure to treat them well!"

The woman spoke with a double meaning, causing Woo Zhengyang to wipe his brow nervously.

"Although the Ice Crystal Fire Array hasn't been activated for years, it still holds a large amount of Ice Crystal Fire power. It should be enough to awaken the four of them. As for the other disciples, that's up to you! Honestly, I'm a bit envious of them. Even though they're sealed, they get to see the world as it is now."

Not knowing how to comfort her, Woo Zhengyang watched as the woman composed herself and continued, "Alright, my time is short. Once I help you refine this Ice Crystal Fire Hall, I'll be gone. Now, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and focus. Don't resist!"

Following her instructions, Woo Zhengyang heard the woman softly chant an incantation.

As he followed the method of the incantation, Woo Zhengyang felt as if he had merged with the world around him. Like a creator, he could see every corner of the vast Ice Crystal Fire Hall, with each flame and icicle seemingly under his control.

Woo Zhengyang watched as the Ice Crystal Fire Hall rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a single point of light that merged into his forehead.

"What kind of treasure is this, that it can merge with my soul?" Woo Zhengyang had assumed that after refining it, the Ice Crystal Fire Palace would simply become small enough to carry. He never expected it to integrate so completely.

"Sigh... it seems it's time to say goodbye. By the way, what's your name?" The woman's voice was filled with exhaustion, but even more so with longing.

"Woo Zhengyang!"

"Alright... remember my name. I'm Nalan Yan'er. Your memory of me might be the last trace I leave in this world..."

With that, the voice abruptly stopped.
