The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Time ticked by, second by second!

Xu Wan sat cross-legged, as if she were in a purgatory of ice and fire!

Her body surface presented a bizarre and horrifying sight:

The left side of her body was covered with a thick layer of solid ice that shone with a cold, eerie blue light. The cold was so intense that even the soil beneath her was frozen and cracked open!

The right half of his body was enveloped in a layer of crimson flames, as red as blood.

The flames were no ordinary fire; they carried a chilling aura of destruction, scorching the air until it seemed to distort.

Ice and fire clashed fiercely within her and on her skin!

"Uh……"

Xu Wan pressed her lips tightly together, letting out a suppressed groan of pain.

Her face was slightly contorted with extreme pain!

Veins bulged on his forehead!

The large beads of sweat evaporated instantly from the high temperature as soon as they appeared.

Her mind was in turmoil.

The raging fire poison of the "Burning Heart Fruit" was like an enraged ancient beast, rampaging through her meridians.

Wherever I go!

The walls of my meridians felt as if they were being poured with molten iron, sending waves of excruciating pain through me, like my skin was being torn apart.

Her meridians were already somewhat fragile due to long-term stagnation!

At this moment, it was like a candle flickering in the wind, and could be broken inch by inch at any moment by this violent force.

Suppress them!

Xu Wan roared inwardly.

she knows!

Once she gives up resisting!

This fiery poison would instantly burn away her internal organs, turning her into ashes.

She used the last ounce of her divine sense to mobilize the "Mysterious Ice Qi" that was her life force within her dantian.

In an instant!

A chilling current surged from his dantian, like a giant ice python, heading towards the fiery beast.

boom!

A loud bang exploded inside her body.

Two completely opposite forces collided violently without any fancy moves.

Xu Wan's body trembled violently, and a trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She felt as if her internal organs were about to be displaced!

vomit!

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

The blood evaporated instantly upon leaving the mouth due to the high temperature, turning into a cloud of blood-red mist.

Lan Youyou watched in horror, her face pale, tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not make a sound to disturb them!

She just clenched her little fists nervously, her nails digging into her flesh.

Upon seeing this, the golden flower spirit that was perched on Lan Youyou's shoulder hurriedly burrowed into her little blue dress and clung tightly to her calves!

Beside him, Ling Shuo stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, but a hint of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.

He could sense that the two forces within Xu Wan's body had reached a critical point.

Either water and fire merge to achieve a completely new balance.

Either... they are incompatible like fire and water, and both will perish.

At this moment, Xu Wan's consciousness was almost blurred by the intense pain.

She seemed to see herself standing on a desolate Gobi Desert, with the scorching sun overhead and churning lava beneath her feet.

Her mouth was dry, and her body felt like it was being torn apart.

No... I can't die...

I can't be trapped in the past...

I want to become stronger... I want to take control of my own destiny...

I can't be a failure anymore!

……

Each thought, like a torch in the darkness, burned fiercely in her collapsing consciousness.

She remembered how gentle Yun Che was to her!

She recalled the days she had spent in a daze, like a walking corpse!

I recalled Ling Shuo and Bai Yuan's teachings, and the vitality of this spiritual field...

I... can't go on like this!

I want to move forward!

For myself, and for those I have loved and those who have loved me!

Give me... Condensate!

what! !

She let out a hysterical scream in her heart, sinking all her consciousness into her dantian, guiding the two violent forces to stop them from attacking each other, and instead trying to make them... merge!

This is a crazy idea.

Water and fire are inherently incompatible; forcing them to mix will only lead to a more violent explosion.

But at this moment, Xu Wan had no other choice.

Using her divine sense as a needle and her will as a thread, she carefully guided that wisp of burning heart fire, bringing it closer and closer to the Xuanbing Qi.

She no longer saw it as an enemy, but rather as... a partner.

She guided the Xuanbing Qi, no longer to freeze the flame, but to... envelop it and soothe it.

This process is slow and difficult.

The slightest mistake could result in utter destruction.

The burning fire in her heart sensed the resoluteness and fearlessness in her will, and her violent nature seemed to subside slightly.

It stopped charging recklessly and began to tentatively make contact with the ice crystals.

laugh! !

A puff of white steam rose from Xu Wan's head.

That was a violent reaction caused by the encounter of extreme high temperature and extreme low temperature.

Xu Wan's body trembled violently, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Her lips were bleeding from being bitten, and the taste of blood filled her mouth.

finally!!

As Xu Wan's consciousness sank in...

The world within her body had transformed into a surging ocean of spiritual energy.

The crimson spiritual power transformed from the fire poison of the Burning Heart Fruit, under the guidance of her divine sense, no longer clashed fiercely with her innate azure ice energy as it had before...

Instead, they began to cautiously approach and probe.

This process is like dancing on a knife's edge!

The slightest misstep could lead to self-destruction and utter ruin.

Xu Wan was highly focused, every ounce of her consciousness stretched to its limit.

Slow down...slow down...

She silently repeated it to herself, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead again!

But this time, the sweat didn't evaporate instantly!

Because the terrifying ice and fire scene on the body surface had been completely contained and transferred into the microscopic world of the meridians and dantian.

boom! !

When the first wisp of crimson fire elemental energy touched the azure ice elemental energy, it still erupted with a violent repulsion reaction.

A piercing pain came from my meridians, as if countless red-hot steel needles were scraping against the meridian walls.

"Well……"

Xu Wan let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning pale, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

She did not back down; instead, she increased the output of her divine sense, like the gentlest spring breeze, enveloping the restless flame and conveying the intention of soothing and acceptance.

Burning Heart Fruit!

Listen to me!

I, Xu Wan, am the only disciple of Yun Che, the Supreme God of the Nine Heavens!

She is also the only female disciple of the Nine Yang True Man, who is able to communicate with the Heavenly Court and the Underworld at Lingshan Academy!

remember!

You are not the enemy, you are part of the power... merge with me, achieve me...

Submit to me!

just now!

immediately!!

immediately!!!

Perhaps it was the determination and fearlessness in her will that finally came into play!

The raging nature of that flame actually subsided gradually under her incredibly patient soothing.

It no longer charged recklessly, but began to tentatively make a strange contact with the ice crystals that enveloped it.

This contact was no longer a devastating explosion, but a... slow, difficult fusion.

Like water dripping on stone, or fire melting gold.

Within Xu Wan's dantian and dantian.

The miracle happened!

Under the witness of her divine sense, a single spiritual particle, one as red as fire and the other as blue as ice, appeared.

They touched each other gently and slowly.

There was no earth-shattering noise, only a faint "pop" that was almost negligible.

But in that instant, Xu Wan felt as if her soul had trembled.

Those two completely opposite spiritual energy particles did not annihilate each other, but instead strangely combined together to form a brand new seed of ice and fire spiritual energy that emitted a strange luster!

This seed is half ice and half fire, clearly distinct yet perfectly integrated into a whole, exuding a more advanced aura that transcends any single attribute.
