Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Of Course, It Was Reserved for You
Ji Yao isn’t even at the Emperor Realm Third Layer yet.
If she suddenly takes a large group of the Phoenix Race to the Ice Realm, they might be completely devoured.
"Alright then, let me pave the way for you to the Ice Realm in advance."
"Really? That’s great!"
Usually stoic, Ji Yao was overjoyed; this time, she was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
Jiang Cheng has two friends at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, so he should be well-connected in the Ice Realm, right?
With their help, the path for the Phoenix Race to the Ice Realm in the future will be much smoother.
Brother Cheng then called Han Wen and Duan Yue in.
"This is Ji Yao, the Clan Leader of the Ice Phoenix Race, she cultivates the Ice Rule."
Specially introduced by the Ice Master, the two quickly cupped their hands in respect.
"When you return to the Ice Realm in a while, take her and the Phoenix Race along, settle them in the Ice Realm, and by the way, protect the Phoenix Race, don’t let them be bullied."
Han Wen and Duan Yue thought it was something big, but it was a breeze for the Ice Origin Valley.
They promptly patted their chests and said, "No problem!"
"Piece of cake!"
"Since it’s your request, we will do our utmost!"
Hearing their words made Ji Yao extremely excited; her biggest concern was thus resolved.
"Thank you both, thank you, Demon Lord!"
Facing her sincere gratitude, Han Wen and Duan Yue quickly returned the courtesy.
"It’s our duty, it’s our duty!"
Brother Cheng added, "By the way, Ji Yao might be a bit special, so when you take her, bring her to meet the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable, and have the venerable guide her a bit."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yao was stunned.
What did he just say?
Venerable?
Let the venerable guide me?
If I’m not mistaken, the venerable should be the strongest in the True Realm, right?
He actually knows the venerable?
And can even ask the venerable for help?
Is it possible he is doing better in the Ice Realm than I thought?
She had a slight suspicion that Brother Cheng might be bragging, but Han Wen and Duan Yue still nodded.
It wasn’t until Ji Yao left with a bewildered look that they exchanged a wry smile and said, "Settling the Phoenix Race is easy, but having the venerable guide her won’t be easy!"
"We can only pass the message; whether or not the venerable agrees is up to him."
They actually didn’t quite understand.
This Phoenix Clan Leader is only at the Emperor Realm Second Layer.
Having the venerable personally guide her?
Even if her talent is exceptionally high, is she worthy?
Moreover, the venerable doesn’t like guiding others, the only exception has been you.
"Don’t worry, the venerable will treasure her."
This is an ancient creature favored by the Heavenly Dao, extremely special.
How can ordinary genius cultivators compare?
Look at Mang Ye’s incredible speed of breakthrough, these ancient beings definitely have remarkable backgrounds!
Seeing their puzzled expressions, he said indifferently, "Maybe you feel now that this is about backing the Phoenix Race."
"But I can tell you in advance, the Ice Realm will be very fortunate to have her join in the future."
Upon hearing this, Han Wen and Duan Yue were even more dismissive.
After they left, Ji Linghan was called in.
Facing her, Brother Cheng was much more casual.
"Xiaohan, come, let me give you a blessing."
A blessing?
This familiar phrase made Ji Linghan nostalgic, as if she had returned to the days at the Lower Realm Feixian Sect, where everyone eagerly sought Sect Leader Jiang to level up.
Having been a sect leader for hundreds of millions of years, she felt like she was returning to her girlhood.
She sat beside Brother Cheng and smiled sweetly, "What blessing is it this time?"
"It’s the Ice’s Profound Pattern; my pattern can bind, and you can gain part of my pattern’s support during battles..."
Ji Linghan’s thinking was completely different from the Cyan Dragon and Ice Phoenix; she wasn’t concerned about becoming someone else’s subordinate Immortal Emperor.
Her first question was, "Am I the first?"
Brother Cheng answered honestly, "Cang Ling was the first, then Xuanming and Mang Ye; they bound with the Speed, Water Element, and Power’s Profound Pattern, you are the fourth."
Ji Linghan slightly raised her Dai Mei without showing much emotion and asked, "Why was Cang Ling the first? Is there a reason?"
Brother Cheng thought, does the order matter that much, why do your focus points differ completely from Xuanming and Mang Ye?
"She was still in a remnant state then, and somehow bound with the Speed’s Profound Pattern. If not for her, I wouldn’t have discovered it."
"When did they bind then?"
"A long time ago."
Brother Cheng thought, "They bound before I reached the True Ice Realm."
Ji Linghan suddenly felt joyful.
"So, it was before you found me, which means you saved the Ice’s Profound Pattern specifically for me?"
Looking at her eyes full of joy, Brother Cheng suddenly felt a bit guilty.
Before you, I actually considered Ice Phoenix Ji Yao too.
"Yes, it was specifically reserved for you. Who else but you fits the Ice’s Profound Pattern?" he said solemnly.
At that moment, he quietly made a decision.
For other patterns, prioritize disciples of the Feixian Sect first, not others.
Ancient beings don’t matter.
What’s important is one’s own people.
They are the family willing to open their hearts to me.
They don’t need to be exceptionally strong, as long as I can make them stronger.
The formidable Eleventh-Layered Ice’s Profound Pattern was slowly summoned by him, and Ji Linghan immediately felt a strong calling.
Without Jiang Cheng needing to teach her, she already knew how to communicate with the pattern.
The feeling was like meeting another Ice Origin.
Though it’s not as pure as the true Ice Origin, nor does it possess such vast and boundless power.
But it completely opens to her, unlike the untouchable, distantly perceivable Ice Origin.
Due to Jiang Cheng’s presence, from the beginning, she achieved a 100% affinity with the pattern.
A massive amount of Ice Rule’s enlightenment surged in her mind, instantly surpassing her current Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.
The vast knowledge of rules, if reliant on cultivation and enlightenment, could take countless billions of years to acquire.
Now, it had already appeared in her mind.
She didn’t need to painstakingly work for it nor slowly comprehend it.
It’s as if she preemptively unlocked part of her inherent memory.
This state somewhat resembled those ancient beings.
They didn’t need to cultivate and comprehend like other Immortal Emperors or Demon Emperors; from the start, they naturally possessed immense corresponding rule comprehension.
What Ji Linghan lacks now is Divine Soul and Immortal Power cultivation; otherwise, she could even directly advance to Emperor Realm Ninth Layer with the insight.
Beyond that, she could borrow part of the Ice’s Profound Pattern’s power during battles, with Jiang Cheng’s permission.
Her realm immediately advanced from Empire Realm Sixth Layer Early-stage to Late-stage.
Brother Cheng also received benefits.
Due to Ji Linghan’s binding, the Ice’s Profound Pattern experienced some reciprocal feedback.
The invaluable Eleventh-Layered Pattern advanced by 10%, saving him considerable Immortal Yuan Points.
