I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

A few days later, a gathering of influential figures took place in Tianshan City.

Among the cultivators of the Upper Realm, there are not only the Imperial Academy Dynasty, but also powerful alien forces from the Pure Land.

The Misty Palace finally got its wish and followed its beloved Venerable One.

The Ice Spirit Royal Family is one of the spirit races in the outer battlefield.

Inside the Misty Palace, the Ice Spirit Clan was treated as honored guests, with the Supreme Elder Yun Qianqiu and his disciple Qin Yuanhao standing respectfully on either side.

In the main seat sat a male member of the Ice Spirit Clan.

He was agile and had the slender physique unique to the Spirit Race.

His skin had a cold, white aura that undulated slightly with his breathing and the flow of his spiritual energy.

Its eyes are light blue, and it wears armbands unique to the Ice Spirit Clan, engraved with ancient runes.

Frostfeather represents the Ice Spirit Clan in this hunt.

He is at the third level of the Sovereign Realm, aiming his sword at the Hundred Battles Royal Court, where he will become the king.

He scoffed at the humans inside the hall and refused to engage with them; the elders behind him were the ones who were responsible for the conversation.

“Our Ice Spirit Clan has no need for the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl and is unaffected by the extreme cold. However, you must not give the pearl to anyone else,” said the Ice Spirit Clan’s quasi-king.

As long as others can't use the Divine Fire Pearl, the Ice Spirit Clan will have a huge advantage when entering the snow mountain.

“Of course not, we can also bring the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl with Your Excellency into the snow mountain,” Yun Qianqiu said.

"It's not necessary."

The Ice Spirit Clan clearly looked down on the Misty Palace's combat strength.

Yun Qianqiu looked embarrassed, but even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it.

"You cultivate the 'Ice Soul Divine Technique,' which has some connection with our Ice Spirit Clan. Since you are willing to follow us, we will not hesitate to offer our services. Tell us your requirements," said the Quasi-King.

Yun Qianqiu was overjoyed and immediately said, "Please grant our Misty Palace an Ice Spirit Saint Body."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Spirit Clan members' expressions turned strange, and their gazes focused on Frost Feather.

"It seems you've done your homework; you're quite ambitious," the quasi-king scoffed.

Yun Qianqiu wore a forced smile, appearing utterly humble.

Their Misty Palace founder was a hybrid of human and spirit races, possessing the Ice Spirit Holy Body.

The "Ice Soul Divine Technique" records the methods for creating a sacred body. Disciples who cultivate the Ice Soul Profound Heart and geniuses of the Ice Spirit Clan with royal blood can give birth to the Ice Spirit Sacred Body.

Frostfeather's pupils gleamed with a golden light, a sign of royal blood.

This is also why they are willing to follow the Ice Spirit Clan at all costs.

As long as Shuangyu leaves behind her bloodline, the Misty Palace will have a Holy Body in the future, who will surely rival the five great families of the Central Region and catch up with the various university palaces.

The struggle for the Great Dao is all about seizing opportunities.

"Check its quality," Shuangyu said coldly.

It took Yun Qianqiu a while to understand what "quality" meant. He didn't care about these details and quickly clapped his hands.

The door opened, and a young girl walked in; it was Cheng Ying.

She was specially dressed up today, wearing a gorgeous ice-blue long dress with layers of frost flowers spreading out on the skirt.

However, his face lacked its usual liveliness, instead showing numbness and unease.

"Is this your absolute beauty? Or so?"

Shuangyu glanced at it and commented without any mercy.

Cheng Ying swayed precariously. She was already unwilling, and now she felt extremely wronged by this humiliation.

"However, it's not bad for warming the bed at night. Whether or not you can give birth to a holy body depends on your own fate," Shuangyu said.

Yun Qianqiu's heart was already in his throat, but upon hearing these words, his old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

"Let's talk about it tonight. I need to go out and meet the other hunters."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Shuangyu left the Misty Palace, and Yun Qianqiu quickly gestured for Qin Yuanhao to follow beside her.

Qin Yuanhao chased after her and found Shuangyu standing outside motionless, her eyes fixed on a figure.

Qin Yuanhao took a closer look and immediately realized that it was Li Miaozhen, a beautiful sight in Tianshan City today.

"Such a stunning beauty, why hide her away!" Shuangyu shouted.

"Your Excellency, that's not a disciple of our Misty Palace; he's from out of town," Qin Yuanhao quickly explained.

Frosty Feather was unwilling to give up and asked, "What is your background?"

"A cultivator from the Southern Region." Qin Yuanhao.

"Southern Region? The Southern Region of your world?" Shuangyu thought the Southern Region referred to a certain place in the extraterritorial battlefield.

Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "I never imagined such a beauty could be born in the mortal realm!"

Qin Yuanhao seemed to have a guess about what would happen next.

"Get her to my bed, by whatever means necessary," Shuangyu ordered.

Qin Yuanhao was taken aback. "Can't you just go up and forcibly take it yourself?"

"What? You can't even handle this small matter? And you still want to be a follower of my clan?" Shuangyu said coldly.

He disdained doing such a thing, but still wanted to achieve his goal.

Qin Yuanhao didn't know what to do, so he returned to the Misty Palace to consult with the elders.

I thought the Supreme Elder would also hesitate, but to my surprise, he agreed immediately.

"I'm not afraid of doing difficult things, I'm afraid of not having anything to do. As long as I do a lot, I can gain the appreciation of the Venerable One," Yun Qianqiu said.

"Elder, what should we do?" Qin Yuanhao asked.

"Simple. Hasn't that person been going into the snow mountain these past few days? Listen closely." Yun Qianqiu immediately had an idea.

……

Cheng Ying sat in her room, her face clouded with worry and her spirits low.

If she hadn't met Senior Brother Shen, she wouldn't be in this situation, willing to dedicate herself to the Misty Palace.

But now... it just feels awkward.

Just then, Senior Brother Qin Yuanhao pushed open the door and entered.

“Junior sister, I know you still have feelings for that outsider, but it’s all for the sake of the Misty Palace.”

"Senior brother, I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the Misty Palace."

"Sigh, consider this as compensation from the Misty Palace to you."

As he spoke, a bead appeared in Qin Yuanhao's hand.

It is indeed the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl!

It is about the size of a fist, perfectly round, and its surface looks like it is covered with a layer of flowing flames, which are a brilliant orange-red color.

At the center of the Divine Fire Pearl, there was an even more dazzling golden light, which was as bright and dazzling as the core of a blazing sun. Even just looking at it for a moment would sting the eyes.

Golden light radiated outwards, and the room temperature soared.

While Cheng Ying was excited, she was also somewhat puzzled as to why the Divine Fire Pearl was taken out at this critical juncture.

"Of course it's not a gift, it's a loan. They have to return it after they've used it, as a way of understanding your wish," Qin Yuanhao said.

Cheng Ying was a little confused, but thinking that her senior brother Shen would be very happy to get the bead, she didn't think too much about it.

So she took the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl and went to find Shen Ming without stopping.

As a result, Shen Ming went to the snow mountain, leaving only Li Miaozhen in the city.

“This bead can help Senior Brother Shen. Please keep it safe for him and give it to him when he comes back,” Cheng Ying said.

"Ok."

Li Miaozhen readily accepted the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl, without even knowing what it was.

Cheng Ying returned to the Misty Palace with a satisfied heart, having no regrets and accepting her fate with equanimity.

When they returned, they found that everyone in the Misty Palace was ready to go.

Qin Yuanhao reappeared and took her back to the room.

"Senior Brother Qin, what happened?"

"The Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl was stolen; it was those two who did it," Qin Yuanhao said coldly.

Cheng Yinghua turned pale and immediately understood.

Qin Yuanhao activated the restriction, locking her, the witness, inside the room.
