In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Tianya Peak, one of the seven main peaks of the Qingyun Sect, was also the former training ground of Senior Sister Tianya. After Tianya's disappearance, the peak was sealed off by order of the sect leader, with only a few elders authorized to enter. Now, the Spirit Gathering Pool at the summit has been reopened, and the entire mountain is once again shrouded in a vast and icy stellar power. From afar, the peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, with a faint blue light shining through, resembling a fairyland.

As Su Han arrived at the foot of Tianya Peak, he immediately felt a familiar chill emanating from the depths of his soul. He took a deep breath, and the wisp of icy star power within his body spontaneously began to circulate, resonating with the aura emanating from the mountain. Far from feeling cold, he instead felt a sense of comfort, as if he were in his own water.

"Is the visitor Su Han?"

A clear, cold voice rang out, and a middle-aged woman dressed in white with a stern face emerged from the clouds. She was an inner sect elder responsible for guarding Tianya Peak.

"Disciple Su Han, on the orders of the sect master, has come to pay his respects." Su Han bowed respectfully.

The elder's gaze swept over Su Han, especially when he sensed the icy aura emanating from Su Han that shared the same origin as Tianya Peak. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, the sect leader has already given instructions. Follow me."

With that, she turned and led the way. Su Han quickly followed, the two of them climbing up the winding mountain path, one after the other. The higher they went, the colder the air became, and the starlight in the air became purer, even condensing into visible pale blue specks of light, floating in the air like ice crystals and snowflakes.

"Such rich star power..." Su Han was secretly amazed. This Spirit Gathering Pool was indeed extraordinary, as expected of a sect's important location.

Before long, the two arrived at the summit. The summit was a vast, flat area, with a huge, crystal-clear pool in the center, as clear as a sapphire. The water in this pool was no ordinary water, but rather composed of extremely pure liquid star energy, emanating a chilling aura. This was the Spirit Gathering Pool!
At this moment, around the Spirit Gathering Pool, several elders with profound auras sat cross-legged, forming an array and continuously channeling their star power into the pool. In the very center of the pool, a fist-sized ice crystal floated—the very Tianya Ice Crystal that Su Han had brought back!

However, the ice crystal was completely different from before. It radiated a dazzling blue light, crystal clear, like a perfect work of art. Within the ice crystal, the illusory figure of the woman had become much more solid, her features clear, her white robes purer than snow. Although her eyes remained closed, her aloof and cold temperament was already palpable. It was none other than Senior Sister Tianya!
Su Han's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably. He could feel an incredibly clear, blood-like connection between himself and the ice crystal.

"Su Han, you've arrived."

A majestic voice rang out. Su Han turned his head and saw the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect standing by the Spirit Gathering Pool, staring intently at him. The Sect Master's aura was even deeper than before, clearly indicating that presiding over the Spirit Gathering Pool for the past month had taken a heavy toll on him.

"Disciple Su Han greets Sect Master!" Su Han quickly bowed.

"No need for formalities." The sect leader waved his hand, his gaze falling on Su Han. After carefully sensing him, he nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, he has recovered well. His foundation is solid, his star power is pure, and he even benefited from the misfortune by obtaining a wisp of Tianya's primordial cold energy. Very good."

Immediately, the sect leader's gaze turned to the ice crystals in the Spirit Gathering Pool, and his expression became solemn: "Tianya's spiritual recovery speed far exceeds our expectations. Now the sword body has been initially reshaped, but this physical body... has encountered a problem."

"What's the problem?" Su Han's heart tightened.

The sect leader was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Tianya's spirituality seems to be rejecting all the plans we have prepared for her to reshape her Dao body. Her spiritual origin seems to be yearning for... another form."

"Another form?"

"Not bad." The sect leader looked at Su Han, his gaze profound. "A form related to you. Su Han, come closer and put your hand into the Spirit Pool. Try to sense Tianya's spirituality." Su Han did as instructed, took a deep breath, and slowly put his hand into the icy cold water. The water was extremely cold, but the icy star power within Su Han's body circulated on its own, so he didn't feel the cold at all; instead, he felt a sense of intimacy.

The instant his fingertips touched the Heavenly Jade Ice Crystal—

"Buzz!"

A thunderous roar filled Su Han's mind, and his consciousness seemed to be instantly pulled into an endless, icy blue world! In this world, there was only endless ice and snow and cold, and at the center of the world, the figure of a peerless woman in white stood silently with her back to him.

It's Senior Sister Tianya!
Su Han's heart trembled violently. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. Just then, the woman slowly turned around, revealing a face that was breathtakingly beautiful, yet cold and expressionless. Her gaze fell on Su Han, and deep within her usually icy eyes, a very subtle ripple seemed to flicker.

Immediately, a clear, cold voice resounded deep within Su Han's soul:
"You...have come."

……

Su Han abruptly snapped out of that mystical state, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, panting heavily. That brief moment of contact felt like an eternity, yet also like a fleeting instant.

"How is it?" the sect leader asked immediately.

Su Han calmed himself down, his eyes filled with disbelief, and said, "Sect Master, I... I think I heard Senior Sister speak to me. She said... 'You've come.'"

The surrounding elders were all astonished upon hearing this. A spiritual phantom could actually communicate directly with Su Han at the level of consciousness? This was simply unheard of!

The sect leader's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice, "As expected! Tianya's spirituality has a very high level of recognition for you! Su Han, step back, we are going to try the last option!"

Su Han did as instructed and stepped aside, her heart pounding with tension.

The sect leader and several elders exchanged a glance, then simultaneously formed hand seals, unleashing a vast, boundless surge of starlight into the Spirit Gathering Pool. The pool water began to boil violently, and the Tianya Ice Crystal in the center shone brightly. The solidified sword spirit phantom began to slowly melt, merging with the ice crystal itself!
"Sculpt the body with spirit, solidify the form with will! Tianya, return!"

The sect leader roared, his voice shaking the heavens! The entire Tianya Peak trembled!
Within the Spirit Gathering Pool, a dazzling blue light shot into the sky, dyeing the entire sky an icy blue! In that endless light, the ice crystals completely vanished, replaced by the phantom of an icy blue longsword, its entire body crystalline, its blade slender, and radiating unparalleled sharpness!

The Heavenly Sword! The sword body is complete!
However, just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, a sudden change occurred!
The newly reshaped Tianya Sword phantom did not absorb star power to condense a humanoid body as expected. Instead, it suddenly trembled and transformed into a stream of light, shooting straight towards Su Han, who was standing to the side, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd!

"Not good!" The sect leader's expression changed drastically. He tried to intervene, but it was too late! (End of Chapter)
