Chapter 1551: He Is the Saint Son Hall Master (Part 1)
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1551章 他是圣子殿殿主(上)
"Young... Young Palace Master..."
Hearing this voice, You Ruoxin's pupils contracted. She quickly looked over and saw the cocoon shattering layer by layer. What had previously emitted the aura of a Heterogeneous Clan member was now releasing pure, icy cold energy, as if it could at any moment turn tens of thousands of kilometers into an ice cavern.
Whoosh!
A slender, graceful figure flew up from within, rising higher and higher. Countless spiritual energies swirled around her body, madly surging inward. The moisture in the air, upon contact, instantly formed a dress made of ice and snow, shimmering under the sunlight, radiating piercing cold.
"Is this... the perfect activation of the Pure Yin Constitution?"
Her body stiffened, and You Ruoxin trembled uncontrollably.
Throughout the generations of Ice Field Palace masters, although the Pure Yin Constitution had been activated, it was far from perfect.
Legend had it that a perfectly activated constitution could control all the power of pure yin in heaven and earth. With a flick of the finger, one could freeze thousands of miles... It was no weaker than the Innate Poison Body, and even surpassed it!
Even the founding ancestor of Ice Field Palace had not achieved it; their yin-yang complementation was only a forced activation. Unexpectedly... the person before them had perfectly activated it!
Hadn't her meridians been shattered, and all her cultivation destroyed?
What was going on?
"It's Senior Sister!"
Zheng Yang and the others clenched their fists, all filled with excitement.
"Not bad..."
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Using the new meridian diagram to rebuild her meridians had, as expected, not only restored her strength but also fully activated her Pure Yin Constitution. With this, Zhao Ya's strength had smoothly broken through to Saint Realm 9-dan, reaching a profound and unfathomable realm.
The true success meant his efforts had not been wasted.
"It's me!"
The surging spiritual energy dissipated, and the girl's figure appeared before everyone, dressed in a gown of ice and snow, like an ice queen.
"Your subordinate, You Ruoxin, greets the Palace Master..."
You Ruoxin knelt down.
With the Pure Yin Constitution fully activated, she became the palace master directly—this was the rule of all generations.
The young palace master before her had not only activated it but achieved perfection, making her the true authority of Ice Field Palace, the true palace master!
"Very well, since you recognize me as palace master, I shall announce the new rules of Ice Field Palace!"
With her hands behind her back, Zhao Ya looked over calmly: "From today onward, Zhang Xuan, Master Zhang, is the greatest benefactor of Ice Field Palace. Any disciple who sees him must treat him with the respect due a teacher and not overstep. Those who disobey will be expelled from Ice Field Palace, and everyone has the right to kill them!"
"Yes..."
You Ruoxin's voice trembled.
"Master expended countless efforts to help me activate my constitution, yet you, together with the people from the Master Teacher Pavilion, pursued him... Return to Ice Field Palace, confine yourself in the Qingfan Hall for self-reflection, and do not come out without my orders!"
Zhao Ya said coldly: "Also, release my mother and restore her freedom!"
Her mother had been imprisoned by the Great Elder for breaking the rules. Now that she was palace master with supreme authority, she naturally had to rescue her immediately.
"Yes!"
You Ruoxin quickly nodded.
"Very well, go and handle it!"
Zhao Ya waved her hand, then looked at Ren Qingyuan not far away: "Hall Master Ren, I assume you heard my command just now. Zhang Xuan is my mentor. To pursue him is to oppose Ice Field Palace. I hope you will reconsider..."
"This..."
Ren Qingyuan's brows jumped.
He hadn't expected the Ice Field Palace master to also become his student.
Ice Field Palace, Poison Hall, the Zhang Clan, the Appraiser Master Guild, the War Master Hall, the Yuan Clan... each was a force that could shake the continent with a stomp, yet now all obeyed one person's orders...
"Master Zhan..."
He couldn't help but look at the acting hall master of the Saint Son Hall not far away: "Now that Ice Field Palace and the Zhang Clan are willing to reconcile with Master Zhang, what will the Saint Son Hall do?"
"I..."
Master Zhan's face twisted in conflict.
He was now in a dilemma.
Compared to Ice Field Palace and the Zhang Clan, the Saint Son Hall was the weakest, but as the world's premier academy, nurturing countless experts, having been dismantled like that and injuring many elders—if they let it go, how could they continue to teach and pass on knowledge to the world?
Most importantly, how could they explain it to the injured elders?
"If I don't pursue this, the successive hall masters of the Saint Son Hall will never forgive me... So, I must fight to the death, even if I die, I won't have shamed my ancestors!"
Master Zhan gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute.
He could retreat, but the Saint Son Hall could not!
If outsiders learned that they let it go because the other party was the Zhang Clan head and his disciples were formidable, where would the Saint Son Hall's dignity be?
"This..."
Knowing his thoughts, Ren Qingyuan didn't know how to dissuade him.
Zhang Xuan, as a student of the Saint Son Hall, had disobeyed orders, injured elders and the acting hall master, and destroyed many buildings. If they truly didn't pursue it, the Saint Son Hall would indeed have no face to stand in the world.
"Zhang Clan Head, I am no match for you, and my strength is nothing compared to yours. Master Zhang, I have brought the Acting Hall Master Token. If you can withstand one strike, the Saint Son Hall will let the matter rest!"
Having made his decision, Master Zhan flew over and addressed Zhang Xuan from a distance.
"Acting Hall Master Token?"
"Indeed. This token represents my identity and contains the will of successive generations of experts. It is the strongest artifact that only the acting hall master of the Saint Son Hall is qualified to use. My own strength is only at Saint Realm 9-dan, certainly no match for you, but with this, I might still be able to fight you. Of course, if you can block one strike, it means your strength has far exceeded the current scope of the Saint Son Hall, and pursuing this further would be meaningless. The Saint Son Hall will willingly admit defeat."
Master Zhan said.
Although the Saint Son Hall had its dignity, when faced with someone truly insurmountable, there was no choice.
If even an attack using the Acting Hall Master Token failed, it meant that even successive ancestors were no match, and admitting defeat would not damage their honor.
"Alright!"
After a pause, Zhang Xuan said.
He now possessed power invincible below the Ancient Sage level. Even if the Acting Hall Master Token was powerful, it didn't matter; he should be able to block it easily.
"Then so be it..."
Hearing his agreement, Master Zhan pointed a finger, and a token immediately appeared before him, emitting a faint glow.
He bit his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the token. The token instantly became scorching hot, and a vast, powerful aura burst forth, as if it could press the earth into submersion.
The Saint Son Hall had countless experts over the generations. The Acting Hall Master Token, forged from their collective will, even if not as strong as the true Hall Master Token, was not to be underestimated.
"Don't worry, I'm no match for his strength, so he should be fine..."
Seeing Dream Swordsman tense, Joy Swordsman gripped her hand tightly.
"Go!"
Boom!
Under Master Zhan's control, the Acting Hall Master Token emitted a roar and pressed straight toward Zhang Xuan. Before it even arrived, space shattered inch by inch.
This token had instantly unleashed power surpassing Saint Realm 9-dan!
