I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The pale blue flying boat shot through the foggy sky without any pause, ready to cross the Fog State directly and enter the Azure Sea.

"Even if I can't reach the Divine Skill Realm on this journey to the Azure Sea and back to the Eighteen States, I will inevitably reach the complete realm of the divine element," Xu Yan thought to himself.

If things go smoothly and he can obtain the divine object of the Azure Sea, it should be enough to lay the foundation for breaking through the Divine Skill Realm.

"Before the start of the Battle of the Geniuses, reaching the completion of the Divine Origin Realm is inevitable. I hope to accumulate enough foundation so that I can break through the Divine Skill Realm immediately after the battle," Xu Yan planned.

If he could enter the Divine Skill Realm, he would be matchless in the Ling Domain. Apart from his master, there would be no opponent for him in the entire Ling Domain.

He could overpower the Transcendent Spirit Sect single-handedly without a problem.

"If I can accumulate enough foundation and there's not much time left for the Battle of the Geniuses, then I might as well break through after the battle, there's no rush," Xu Yan mused.

Indeed, whether he could accumulate enough foundation before the Battle of the Geniuses remains uncertain.

Even if he successfully obtains the divine object of the Azure Sea, the accumulation of the foundation requires time to settle.

...

Ice State, among the Eighteen States of Ling Domain, was the least populated state.

Covered in perennial ice and snow, it was monotonously white as far as the eye could see, with hardly any signs of green vegetation.

Occasionally visible plants were mostly white, emitting a faint chill.

The Ice State is a rich source of cold spiritual medicine in Ling Domain. If one occasionally encounters a non-white plant within Ice State, it is undoubtedly divine spiritual medicine.

In Ice State, there was a Spirit Sect, the Quiet Snow Palace. Although it didn't belong to the Transcendent Spirit Sect, it was still within the top-notch existence of the top-ranking Spirit Sects. Rumor has it that this sect has a powerful existence that had condensed the Heavenly Earth Lingji.

The Quiet Snow Palace located deep within the Ice State, within the Quiet Snow Mountain Range.

The Quiet Snow Palace is a rare female Spirit Sect in the Ling Domain, consisting entirely of women, with no male martial artists.

The women of the Quiet Snow Palace were known for their exceptional beauty. As beautiful as the flowers in the snow, they had stunning figures and their skin was as smooth and cold as jade.

Due to the harsh cold of Ice State, even small celestial martial artists were unwilling to live there for too long. Hence, it was tough to find towns or gathering places in such a vast place.

Disciples of the Quiet Snow Palace were generally selected from other states. They cultivated ice-cold techniques, so they were not afraid of the severe cold. In fact, the harsh cold environment was more conducive to their cultivation.

The beauties of the Quiet Snow Palace had a small reputation in Ling Domain. Rumor has it that once a genius from a Spirit Sect went to ask for a lady's hand in marriage and managed to return home with a beautiful woman he fancied.

There was a rumor in the Ling Domain that the beauties of Quiet Snow Palace were stunning, icy yet seductive, especially on hot days. There were also rumors that a martial artist cultivating fire techniques would have an exciting experience if he married a beauty from the Quiet Snow Palace, as he could experience the wonderful blend of ice and fire.

However, as these comments became widespread, the Quiet Snow Palace took great offence to such remarks, and it became almost impossible for a genius from a Spirit Sect to marry a lady from the Palace.

When the disaster of the Blood Demon swept across Ice State, a period of turmoil arose, causing a series of wars to break out as the Blood God cultists coveted the ladies of the Quiet Snow Palace.

As the Blood God Sect was eventually destroyed and the Blood Demon retreated to the Inner Domain, Ice State also began to receive less attention. Anecdotes about the Quiet Snow Palace seldom circulated in the Ling Domain.

The Quiet Snow Palace seemed to be forgotten by the other states and appeared to enter a state of seclusion.

At this moment, most of the previous structures in the Palace had already disappeared.

Only a snow palace was built, and all around it, the Quiet Snow Palace was radiant with colors and extraordinarily beautiful.

The Divine spiritual medicine filled the Quiet Snow Palace.

Deep inside the snow palace, there was a black vortex-like cave. This cave seemed to appear on the ground, giving people a sense that it was not an earthly cave, but a hole that appeared between Heaven and Earth.

There was an unknown aura inside the cave. It seemed to be expanding, and even a warm feeling could be felt from within.

Outside the snow palace, a man in thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind, was swallowing a divine spiritual medicine.

The medicine was blood-red and had a great effect in replenishing vitality.

"That's the ninth one. I've recovered again and should be able to hold on," said the handsome man with an elegant air about him, but deep down in his eyes, there was a hint of regret and fear.

He looked up at the Quiet Snow Palace. In the scarce buildings, he could vaguely see graceful women. Each of them had unique features.

Whether they had stunning figures, were gentle and soft-spoken, or were shy...he had slept with all these beauties.

He had been here for over ten years.

Ever since he happened to hear a rumor and received a piece of news, he came to the Quiet Snow Palace. Since then, he had been kept busy, and from time to time, he felt exhausted and needed to replenish his energy.

There were many beauties here. When he walked among them and tasted the varying beauties of the world, he was initially very excited.

But later on, he turned afraid.

And now, he even felt numb.

Because all the beautiful women in the Quiet Snow Palace were the same person!

Their divine souls were all the same!

He even suspected that these beauties' bodies belonged to the same person.

Of course, this was just a suspicion. The possibility was low, but he was a hundred percent sure that their divine souls all belonged to the same person.

These beauties might have been the disciples or elders of the Quiet Snow Palace. Their divine consciousness had been devoured long ago, and their bodies were inhabited by a divine soul.

What scared him even more was that this divine soul, which belonged to the same person, was very peculiar and vastly different from the divine souls cultivated by martial artists from Ling Domain.
