All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Ai Qing was completely stunned, and the white-haired woman also stared wide-eyed.

In fact, getting them to make up their minds and agree to Chu Yang's request was essentially a condition: that Chu Yang was willing to accept Li Ling as his disciple.

Li Ling is the future of the Ice God Palace. She has returned to the ancestral bloodline of the Great Emperor and has inherited the entire legacy of the Snow-Clad Great Emperor. Even the God King Body cannot compare to her.

They couldn't even imagine what they could achieve if they could become Chu Yang's students.

With Jiang Tingting's example right there, it's clear that Chu Yang is incredibly kind to his disciples, even giving away the elixir of immortality without hesitation.

But they never expected that Chu Yang would use the Nine Secrets technique so soon after they became his disciples!

If they knew that Chu Yang had already passed on four of the nine secrets he possessed to Jiang Tingting, I wonder what they would think.
The reason he didn't pass on the secret to Li Lingxing the same way he did to Jiang Tingting wasn't because he favored one over the other.

Their circumstances are different, and the paths they take are also different, so naturally they should be taught according to their individual aptitudes.

Li Ling had a very smooth life in the past. Judging from the timeline, it's not hard to tell that the obsession of the Snow-Clad Emperor was not just about returning home, but also about his concern for his descendants.

However, as time has passed and her descendants have long since turned to dust, she now wishes to select a suitable descendant to help elevate her bloodline and pass on her legacy.

Therefore, it is obvious that Li Ling became the goddess of the Ice God Palace from birth and inherited the Snow Robe. After the divine thoughts dissipated, the Ice God Palace's attention to her was considerable.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Chu Yang has not yet fully accepted this disciple.

Whether Chu Yang sends Li Ling to Zhongzhou to learn the secrets of the Xingzi script from Jiang Tingting, or to the Eastern Wilderness to find Li Ruoyu and Jiang Taixu, it is all a test for her.

The two old men knew that this girl was their disciple, so they certainly wouldn't be stingy, but they could also guess the reason behind it.

If Li Ling can truly learn the two secrets from them, then Chu Yang will start to take Li Ling seriously.

Conversely, although he would still acknowledge this disciple, he would treat him more like a nominal disciple, far less so than he would treat Jiang Tingting.

Although Li Ling looks only twelve or thirteen years old, she is extremely precocious, after all, she inherited some of the fragmented memories of the Snow-Clad Emperor's divine will.

So even though she hadn't fully grasped the mysteries of the "Former Word Secret," she knew how precious this secret technique was and understood what it meant to become a disciple.

The little girl stood directly behind Chu Yang, looking like a well-behaved child.

She didn't have a master before. After all, she was the successor appointed by the Great Emperor, so who in the Ice God Palace would dare to take her as a disciple?
Even Ai Qing rarely saw this goddess; instead, the white-haired woman guided his cultivation on his behalf.

After finishing their business, Chu Yang pondered for a moment before asking, "Ice God Palace... does it have some connection with the lineage of the Source Celestial Master?"

He still remembered the strange terrain, which even he himself couldn't fully comprehend, demonstrating its extraordinary nature.

Hearing his words, Ai Qing looked blank, while the white-haired woman paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "There shouldn't be..."

"The Ice God Palace has never experienced a break in its lineage, so its records of many things from the past are quite comprehensive."

"From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of any sage who has ever had any interaction with the lineage of Master Yuan..."

Chu Yang frowned. If that's the case, then the Ice God Domain is clearly a man-made terrain, not the work of the Source Celestial Master.

He felt he was overlooking something and couldn't grasp the key point at that moment.

Slowly closing his eyes, Chu Yang recalled everything he had seen after entering the Ice God Realm.

Looking down...the street...the monks...the tower...the elders...

and many more!

Chu Yang's eyes snapped open; he had finally found the problem!
Tower!

I had previously fallen into a blind spot in my thinking, believing that the key to terrain lies in the earth's veins. But since it is man-made, it is also possible to change the earth's veins through some special means!
The tower is the key!

Each of those towers, taken individually, is nothing special, but when you look at the overall layout and combine it with the mysterious terrain, it forms a blessed land!
This blessed land is neither a top-tier treasure land nor a forbidden land. According to the original Heavenly Book, it is a relatively moderate terrain.

The Blessed Land has only two effects: luck and spiritual energy gathering!

Living in a blessed land will improve one's fortune; it's an effect that's hard to explain, but in reality, it means one's luck will improve.

It can be understood as a force opposite to a curse, or a benign curse.

Gathering spiritual energy is self-explanatory; it involves gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In fact, most holy lands and aristocratic families have methods for gathering spiritual energy, but very few have such a large scale as the Ice God Domain.

Chu Yang could see that the Origin Technique expert who had reversed the terrain here had used the tower to elevate the level of the Blessed Spirit Land by more than one level.

The Ice God Realm, this blessed land, can be called a top-tier treasure land.

Having figured out the terrain, Chu Yang still had a question in his mind.

Since this is a blessed land, why is the Ice God Palace so unlucky?
Surely things can't all turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme?
Seeing that Chu Yang remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, the white-haired woman paused for a moment before speaking softly:
"Although my Ice God Palace has no connection with the Source Master, it seems that my ancestor's Daoist partner was somewhat accomplished in Source Arts..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, "The Daoist partner of the Snow-Clad Emperor?"

The white-haired woman nodded and said, "This matter is also a secret of my Ice God Palace, known only to the successive palace masters and the supreme elders."

"The reason why my Ice God Palace has long resided in the heart of the snowfield is not to avoid the world, but because that sage left behind a precept..."

"The Ice God Palace must never be moved, or it will perish!"

"Over time, we gradually stopped going out much..."

The white-haired woman's face showed a hint of helplessness, "As for the specific reason, this old woman doesn't know either..."

"All I know is that this ironclad rule was established after the patriarch left, and it was not until the sage was in his later years."

"When were those towers in the Ice God Realm built?" A glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.

The white-haired lady paused for a moment, a look of surprise on her face. Instead of answering, she asked, "Has Young Emperor Chu noticed something?"

As soon as she said it, she felt it was inappropriate, so she continued, "Also in the later years of that sage, each tower was actually a treasure, which he personally crafted."

"That commandment included the prohibition against moving or damaging the tower in the slightest..."

Connecting all the clues, Chu Yang deduced some of the truth.

The Land of Blessed Spirits was not without its role; on the contrary, without its protection, the Ice God Palace would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

Chu Yang concluded that the Ice God Palace must be under some kind of curse!

The Snow-Clad Emperor's exploration of the outer realms was most likely in search of a solution, but he ended up dying far from home.

As for whether the death of the Snow-Clad Emperor was also related to the curse, it is still impossible to determine at this time.

The reason why the Snow-Clad Emperor's Daoist partner did not accompany him was probably to stay behind as a backup. It was only when the Snow-Clad Emperor still had not returned in his later years that he reversed the land of blessing and brought blessings to future generations.

If that's the case... the curse on the Ice God Palace has reached a level that even the Great Emperor cannot break!
This level of curse immediately reminded Chu Yang of the underworld.

Furthermore, the Snow-Clad Emperor's Daoist partner is not from the Source Master lineage, yet possesses Source Technique attainments that even he admires. Who is his master?
Hell!

After understanding everything, a look of surprise flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. This Ice God Palace actually had a connection with the Underworld!
No wonder the Snow-Clad Emperor's obsession runs so deep. After countless years, the deity still crossed the ancient starry road to return, wanting to see if the Ice God Palace had been destroyed.
Chu Yang could foresee that if the Ice God Palace no longer existed, then the Snow-Clad Emperor's divine will would probably turn into evil!
He glanced at the white-haired lady, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of her; she probably knew less than he did.

After a moment's thought, Chu Yang changed direction and said, "Since the Ice God Palace has never moved, the residence and seclusion place of that sage from back then should still be there, right?"

"Or perhaps some traces he left behind..."

"Could you take me to see it?"

If anyone else had made this request, let alone an outsider, even the Supreme Elder of the Ice God Palace, the white-haired woman, would have refused.

This is because it is the Ice God Palace's greatest asset and its true foundation.

It wasn't just that one sage; all the sages of the Ice God Palace throughout history have left some traces, even some follow-up plans.

Even the residence and secluded retreat of the Snow-Clad Emperor have been preserved.

The reason why the white-haired woman was able to break through to the Saint Realm was because she comprehended the Great Emperor's Dao there and benefited immensely.

It just so happens that the person who made this request was Chu Yang, and the two sides had just reached a consensus, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were now family.

So after only a slight hesitation, the white-haired woman nodded, stood up, and said, "Young Emperor Chu, please follow me..."

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Ai Qing and said, "Send the goddess back, and then come over here too!"

When Chu Yang gave out the secret inheritance, he also took the opportunity to check on Li Ling's condition.

The abnormality of her body was not innate; it stemmed from a bloodline atavism, which can also be understood as a special constitution.

This physique has a higher upper limit than the God-King Physique, but it is a heaven-defying feat, and whether it can grow is still uncertain.

The Ice God Palace had such a low presence in the original storyline, most likely because Li Ling failed to rise to power, or even died prematurely.

The system was already difficult to develop, and coupled with the curse that even the top blessed lands couldn't suppress, the road ahead was naturally full of obstacles.

In addition, Li Ling has not yet been able to completely merge with the remaining will of the divine thought.

In other words, she did not receive the complete inheritance of the Snow-Clad Emperor, somewhat similar to Pang Bo's situation in the early stages.

The difference is that the divine will is reduced to a mere wisp of remaining will, making it impossible for it to possess another body.

In this situation, if Li Ling were to go to the place where the former Snow-Clad Emperor's Daoist partner had secluded himself, it would inevitably affect her fusion with the remaining will of the divine spirit.

Ai Qing's face lit up with joy. Despite being the Palace Master of the Ice God Palace, she was not qualified to go to such a forbidden area unless she could successfully sever her Dao.

The Daoist essence within the forbidden area is not eternal. Each opening will not cause any loss of Daoist essence until it is completely exhausted.

She could say she was fortunate to have Chu Yang's help. The white-haired woman figured that since the forbidden area was going to be opened anyway, she might as well let Ai Qing try to understand it, and perhaps he could gain something from it.

Soon, Chu Yang followed the white-haired woman to the center of the ice crystal palace complex, and Ai Qing also returned.

Upon entering a grand hall, they found it completely empty, shrouded in a powerful protective barrier, which the white-haired woman removed using a secret technique.

Chu Yang roughly estimated that even if he went all out without using his true spirit power or other external forces, he might not be able to break the restriction.

You should know that with the Great Luo Divine Eye, plus his own various methods, he can break even the restrictions at the Saint level.

Clearly, the restrictions enveloping this hall are even stronger than those of a saint!
Upon entering the main hall, however, it was completely empty, devoid of any furnishings or anything unusual.

As the white-haired woman led the two deeper into the main hall, she softly explained, "The forbidden area of ​​the ancient sages is hidden underground..."

"That was a rule set by the Emperor's son in the past. Every era, the imperial palace had to be demolished and rebuilt, and the terrain had to be raised one level."

Chu Yang nodded. He had previously discovered that the terrain of the entire Ice God Domain was higher towards the center.

This change has a positive impact on the blessed land, maximizing the terrain effect of the central area.

However, this requires a sufficiently powerful force to act as the "core" of the formation.

The sages of the Ice God Palace passed away here, making them the most suitable focal points of the formation.

It seems that the imperial prince must have inherited his father's true skills and is quite proficient in Origin Arts.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Since that imperial prince was born in the era when the Snow-Clad Emperor attained enlightenment, why didn't he seal himself within the divine source?"

With a mother who is an emperor and a father who has a great connection with the underworld, that imperial son must be extraordinary and has a real chance of achieving enlightenment.

Upon hearing his question, a hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of both Ai Qing and the white-haired woman. The latter shook her head and sighed:

"It's not that this disciple didn't self-proclaim himself; rather, he was born during the ancient era and ultimately perished in the struggle for the Emperor's Path..."

"There were too many brilliant talents in that generation, but they were all suppressed by Emperor Wushi and could not hold their heads up!"

Chu Yang fell silent for a moment, guessing that this was also the effect of the curse. He was born into the era of the Great Emperor Wushi, his luck was really too bad...

Upon reaching the depths of the main hall, the white-haired woman activated a Dao pattern, and the three of them immediately disappeared from the hall.

Deep underground, a long tunnel stretches out, like the road to hell, with no end in sight.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the passageway. Every time Chu Yang walked a certain distance, he could see some doors on both sides.

Clearly, behind these gates lies the final resting place of the Ice God Palace's sages throughout history.

After walking for tens of thousands of miles, the white-haired woman finally stopped.

There was still a road ahead. She pointed to a doorway beside her and said, "This is where that sage passed away."

"Further inside is the palace where the patriarch lived before he left."

As she spoke, she formed a hand seal, and a ray of divine light struck the doorway, then rippled outwards like water, with waves of void power surging forth.

The white-haired woman took a step forward and bumped straight into the doorway, but her body passed right through it.

Chu Yang and Ai Qing exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Suddenly, everything went dark. It was a stone chamber, very narrow and completely enclosed.

This reminded Chu Yang of solitary confinement cells in prison.

In the center of the stone chamber stood a stone platform. Upon seeing it, the white-haired woman's pupils constricted sharply, and she exclaimed in horror, "This...how is this possible?!" (End of Chapter)
