Chapter 377: Chapter 244: Cultivation World 34_3
The ice coffin shattered, the silver-haired woman floated up, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of pupil-less ice-blue eyes, with ancient runes flowing like a galaxy inside.
"Eight hundred years..." The woman’s voice was like the friction of eternal ice, "Finally waiting for the blood of the same source." She slowly raised her hand, and the wound on Lian Meng’s arm suddenly burst with excruciating pain, a line of blood forcibly drawn out, transforming into a crimson thread wrapping around the woman’s fingertips.
Lu Rui swung his knife at the blood thread, but the blade was blocked by an ice wall that formed out of thin air: "Bastard! Let her go!"
The woman paid no heed, only gazing at Lian Meng: "Good child, do you know why women of the Si Family never live past twenty-five?" Her fingertip lightly tugged, and the blood thread abruptly tightened, "Because we are all ’vessels’... for today, to let the true Ice Phoenix Goddess be reborn!"
Lian Meng suddenly laughed coldly, blood-stained lips curving into a sharp arc: "What a pity..." She suddenly plunged the dagger into her heart, "You miscalculated two things."
The runes on the dagger ignited with a roar, expelling the Ice Phoenix bloodline that had invaded her body!
"First, I knew about the Si Family’s bloodline secret since I was nine." She pulled out the dagger, and the blood from her heart turned into flames, "Second—" In the flames floated a crimson Jade Pendant, "I had already refined half of my soul into the ’Heart Burning Lock,’ you want to devour me? Then we perish together!"
Si Wuyue sneered: "Do you think such a petty trick can stop my eight hundred years of planning?"
"If Lian Meng can’t stop it, we will!" Si Lingle raised her left hand, and a wisp of ghostly purple flame ignited in her palm—this flame had no temperature, yet it distorted the surrounding light, as if even space was burned into cracks.
Si Wuyue’s face showed terror: "Nine Netherworld Strange Fire!"
Si Lingle formed a spell, and the Nine Netherworld Strange Fire flew out.
Si Lingle attacked with her sword, the Thunder Sword Intent fell like a meteor shower, causing space to collapse inch by inch where it passed. Si Wuyue screamed and summoned all her Ice Phoenix power to defend, but the moment it touched the sword light—
"Crack!"
The Ice Phoenix mark on Si Wuyue’s forehead shattered, her body turning to ash starting from her fingertips.
"No... impossible! I clearly..." Si Wuyue looked despairingly at the ice coffin, only to find the Goddess’s body inside was also disintegrating simultaneously.
"Did you think the Ice Phoenix Goddess truly wanted rebirth?" Lian Meng coughed up blood and laughed coldly, "Back then, she voluntarily disintegrated to forever seal you greedy ’descendants’."
As the last word fell, Si Wuyue was completely annihilated.
The moment Si Wuyue disappeared, the bronze key in the Goddess’s hand flew out, followed by the opening of a bronze door.
Everyone was sucked into the bronze door, landing in a treasury.
This treasury was piled with an innumerable amount of Spirit Stones and countless treasures.
Seeing so many Spirit Stones and treasures, everyone did not show expressions of joy, but instead released their Divine Sense to investigate, to see if it was an illusion or a trap.
But after the six tested them, these Spirit Stones and treasures were all real.
The six exchanged glances, took out their Storage Bags, and started collecting Spirit Stones.
Si Lingle had stronger Divine Sense than the other five of Lian Meng, so her speed of collecting Spirit Stones was faster than theirs.
However, the Spirit Stones were so many that even when Lian Meng and the other five’s empty Storage Bags were filled, they still hadn’t finished collecting them.
There were still so many treasures to pack, Lian Meng and the other five even poured out some Spirit Stones to make room for treasures.
The six allocated treasures according to their Spirit Roots’ needs, and they evenly divided the ones they couldn’t use.
As for the uncollected Spirit Stones, Si Lingle took them all. She had refined many Storage Bags, which now came into use.
After packing everything in the treasury, the six left the Bronze Giant Hall.
Upon exiting the Bronze Giant Hall, everyone found a place to rest and recover from their injuries.
After recovering, they quickly recounted the events about the Si Family.
It turns out the family of Lian Meng, millennia ago, had a Goddess with the Ice Phoenix bloodline.
This Goddess fell in love with a cultivator with the surname Ye.
But the Goddess didn’t expect this cultivator Ye was only interested in her bloodline, using it to have a relationship with her and to give birth to a child with a special bloodline.
This cultivator Ye wanted to use the child’s special bloodline to aid in his cultivation.
The Goddess was even killed by this cultivator Ye, but because she had the Ice Phoenix bloodline, she could undergo Nirvana Rebirth.
However, she lost her will to live and didn’t wish for Nirvana Rebirth.
The cultivator Ye set up an altar to try to resurrect the Goddess through the people of the Si Family.
The Si Family had been on guard against this.
Now that the Goddess’s body had dissipated, future women of the Si Family no longer needed to fear their lives being cut short at twenty-five.
After listening, Si Lingle asked, "Did the male cultivator who deceived the Goddess become a deity?"
Lian Meng shook her head. "No, during the tribulation, he couldn’t endure the Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning and was annihilated."
"This male cultivator is dead, so why does the Ye Family still send people to resurrect the Goddess? Is there another conspiracy?"
Lian Meng sighed, "That I do not know."
After a brief discussion, the group departed to find the Nine Yang Treasure Fruit Tree.
Upon discovering the Nine Yang Treasure Fruit Tree, the six surrounded and attacked a twin-headed eagle, and after defeating it, they divided the Nine Yang Treasure Fruit.
After obtaining the Nine Yang Treasure Fruit, Si Lingle used Space Divine Power to leave.
After leaving, Si Lingle immediately changed her disguise and cultivation level, transforming into the Initial Stage of Soul Emergence.
After changing, Si Lingle continued her training journey.
Meanwhile, Lian Meng and the other five were besieged by members of the Ye Family, but having acquired so many Magic Treasures, they managed to counter-kill the attackers.
However, the five sustained some injuries.
Yet, having survived, the five were content and immediately returned to their sect to cultivate in seclusion.
The Spirit Stones and treasures they acquired were enough for them to cultivate and breakthrough.
