My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

Su Muchen, who overpowered powerful enemies abroad, swept away all the chaos, and wielded a cultivation that reached the heavens, was unable to protect the one he loved and could not withstand this damned curse of fate!

As the light in Lin Wan'er's eyes gradually dimmed, her trembling body stiffened, and her life force rapidly drained away, a flash of inspiration struck Su Muchen, and the long-forgotten teachings of his master suddenly resounded in his heart!

When his master taught him the martial arts and determined his destiny, he personally predicted—

He possesses a sun god body that appears only once every ten thousand years!

Under the heavens, the most yang and the most powerful, the purest yang, suppresses all evil and overcomes all yin!

At that moment, all the clues instantly connected!

The Mysterious Yin Divine Body is extremely Yin and cold, representing the ultimate Yin energy in the world!

The Sun God Body is the ultimate in Yang energy, the purest Yang in the world!

Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, are inherently in balance, and are also the nemesis of fate!

shuh...

Suddenly, a ray of extremely bright hope burst forth from the dark and desperate depths of his eyes!

The unsolvable deadlock that had weighed on my mind for years, the doubts and problems that had lingered for years, suddenly became clear at this moment!

Su Muchen shuddered, his arms tightening around Lin Wan'er, his eyes burning with the ecstasy and certainty of regaining what he had lost.

He got it!

He finally understood!

That vague conjecture in the ancient scroll was never unfounded!

Throughout history, no one has been able to break this deadlock. It's not that the Xuan Yin Divine Body is truly unsolvable, but rather that all those who possess the Xuan Yin Divine Body have never encountered a destiny-bound Yang—the Sun Divine Body—that can completely restrain it!

And he was precisely the one and only opportunity in a thousand years, one in ten thousand.

At this moment, Su Muchen finally understood his master's deliberate arrangement back then.

When he came down the mountain, the old man insisted on giving him an unsolvable, death order: he had to marry Lin Wan'er within a year.

At that time, he was completely puzzled, feeling that his master was acting strangely and forcing him to do things against his will, and even resisted this forced marriage contract.

But now, connecting all the truths, everything becomes clear.

Master had long ago seen through destiny and foreseen Lin Wan'er's fateful tribulations. He also knew that only his Sun God Body could break the thousand-year curse of the Profound Yin God Body.

That's why he was given a death mission, forced to go down the mountain to make a relationship, forced to get close to Lin Wan'er, and at the most critical moment, to come to her side and become her only chance to break the deadlock.

But after the initial elation, a new problem immediately arose, plunging Su Muchen into a dilemma, his brows furrowed tightly.

Knowing that constitutions clash is one thing, but figuring out how to break the curse is a complete mystery.

Neither the ancient secret realm books I had consulted nor my master's teachings over the years had ever recorded a way to break the Yin-Yang dual divine body.

Without any formulas, techniques, or procedures, there was absolutely no way to begin.

The room was bitterly cold, with frost spreading everywhere. Lin Wan'er trembled more and more violently, her life force growing weaker and weaker. She didn't have much time left.

In the midst of extreme anxiety, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Su Muchen, and a bold and unique guess suddenly emerged.

"wrong!"

"Why is Master forcing me to marry her within a year, insisting that we become partners and commit to each other for life?"

"If all that's needed is spiritual energy infusion and healing techniques, there's no need for a marriage contract or the status of husband and wife!"

Su Muchen was shaken, his thoughts racing, and he instantly understood the key to it.

The only explanation is that the curse on the Xuan Yin Divine Body can only be broken by the fusion of Yin and Yang and the harmony of Heaven and Earth.

When extreme yin meets extreme yang, yin and yang complement each other, and heaven and earth are in harmony. With the pure yang essence of the sun god body, the extreme cold curse rooted in the blood and soul of the mysterious yin god body is completely neutralized and dissolved.

This is also why this method has never been recorded.

The Great Way is secretive, and the Way of Heaven is difficult to explain. This method of breaking the deadlock is inherently obscure and difficult to explain to outsiders.

The master knew perfectly well what was going on, but due to reasons that were difficult to express, he could not say it outright. He could only use a marriage contract and a death mission to bind the two of them together in advance, waiting for the opportunity to break the deadlock today.

After figuring all this out, Su Muchen felt a mix of emotions.

He was instantly plunged into extreme hesitation and struggle.

This method is feasible and is the only chance of survival, but the current situation is too special.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er was suffering from the backlash of the extreme cold curse, her mind was blurred and her consciousness was unclear, and she had long lost the ability to make her own judgments.

Offering help at this moment would be tantamount to taking advantage of someone in distress, which is certainly not the act of a gentleman.

He always adhered to his bottom line: love and affection should be given willingly and mutually.

What he wanted was her calm, joyful acceptance, not this passive, helpless, and involuntary compromise.

However, in the moment of hesitation, the delicate body in her arms trembled violently again!

"Ugh..."

A broken, painful groan escaped once again from Lin Wan'er's pale, chapped lips.

The temperature in the entire bedroom plummeted again, and thick frost quickly formed on the walls, bedside, and floor, with the chill spreading everywhere.

Lin Wan'er's delicate features were completely distorted by the excruciating pain. Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of color. Her whole body was stiff and trembling. Every inch of her bones felt as if it were being crushed by thousands of ice crystals, enduring inhuman torture that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Her breathing was extremely weak, and her life was rapidly fading away at a visible speed.

If she waits any longer, in less than a quarter of an hour, her soul will be completely frozen, turning her into an eternal ice sculpture, and she will perish completely.

"Damn it, whatever!"

Su Muchen gritted his teeth, and all his hesitation was instantly crushed by anxiety and heartache.

What dignity, what concerns, what gentlemanly bottom line—all are worthless in the face of life and death!

He couldn't bear to watch the girl who had given up her future, set aside her pride, and traveled thousands of miles to be with him die and be frozen in time.

Even if she gets angry, blames herself, or resents him afterward, he accepts it!

Even if it means bearing all the misunderstandings and grievances, he will risk his life to save her.

We have no choice but to try anything, it's the only way, the only chance!

Without further hesitation, Su Muchen carefully carried the icy-cold Lin Wan'er to the soft bedside, his movements extremely gentle, as if afraid that the slightest force would crack her fragile bones.

Gently lay her flat on the bed.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er's clothes had been completely brittle from the extreme cold.

The freezing power unleashed by the Xuan Yin Divine Body was too domineering; the silk nightgown from before had already solidified into fine ice shards, which shattered and fell away at the slightest touch.

A pale, lustrous, and exquisitely beautiful flawless body was fully exposed to the air.

Even though her face was pale and bloodless, and she was on the verge of death from the extreme cold, it still couldn't hide her naturally beautiful figure. Her skin was as delicate as jade, and her curves were exquisite. She was the purest beauty in the world.

The alluring heat that had been completely suppressed by the life-or-death crisis was now quietly surging up again.

At this moment, Su Muchen had no blasphemous thoughts in his heart, only a heart full of solemnity and redemption.

Just as he was concentrating on preparing to use his magic to save her, Lin Wan'er, who had been struggling in pain and was in a daze, seemed to sense his intentions and understand his choice.

On that exquisitely beautiful face, contorted by pain, the extreme agony slowly faded, replaced by a gentle, relieved, and serene smile.

The last vestige of her clarity sustained her hazy consciousness, as if telling Su Muchen something.

She...didn't resist!
