Chapter 3172: The Ice Goddess

On the Ice Pole Plane, one of the seven sacred planes of the Saints’ World, the Ice Goddess Hall that stood paramount on the plane was no different from before. It seemed hazy under the shroud of flying snow. It had not changed too much with the Snow Goddess’s return. Even the sovereign god artifact that possessed invincible might was still rather dim.

If there had to be a change to be noted, then that would be the life-like statues of ice that had appeared outside the majestic entrance of the Ice Goddess Hall. There were a great number of them.

Among the statues, the one at the very front was a young woman with great beauty.

She was dressed in white clothes and seemed otherworldly, but at this very moment, she knelt on the ground and faced the entrance of the Ice Goddess Hall like someone who had committed a crime.

The woman was the greatest expert of the Ice Pole Plane in the past, as well as the strongest ancestor of the number one sect, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor!

Behind the Icecloud Founding Ancestor was another beautiful woman as an ice statue, ancestor Lan of the Heavenly Crane clan!

These two peak experts that possessed absolute influence on the Ice Pole Plane had been sealed before the Ice Goddess Hall together.

Of course, ancestor Lan and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor were not the only Grand Primes that had been turned into ice statues. Behind them were over a dozen more Grand Primes, also standing as statues as if they had been imprisoned here forever, unable to move.

A portion of the Grand Primes were the native experts of the Ice Pole Plane, while the others were all ancestors of various sects from planet Cangmang.

There were even more Chaotic Primes and Infinite Primes behind them.

Without any exaggeration, over seventy percent of all the Primordial realm experts of planet Cangmang had been turned into statues here.

So many Primordial realm experts had been turned into ice statues, gathered before the Ice Goddess Hall like prisoners.

This sight was extremely shocking.

In the very depths of the Ice Goddess Hall, a throne of ice and snow hovered in the air quietly before the Ice Goddess Formation that had managed to stop countless experts.

With her white hair and white eyebrows, the Snow Goddess that could be completely described as snowy-white current sat on the throne. She stared straight at the Ice Goddess Formation before her. The depths of her frosty eyes shone with a calculating light every now and then.

“Another two more hours!” the Snow Goddess said gently. Her voice was cold, bone-piercingly cold.

Shui Yunlan stood silently behind the throne of ice and snow. Clad in silvery-white armour, her helmet completely concealed her appearance. Only her eyes were exposed.

“This formation only opens its gate of life at a specific time. Entry is only possible when the gate of life is open. Otherwise, it is certain death.”

“The gate of life opens once every millennia, and it only remains open for a split second. If the split second is missed, then entry is no longer possible. Otherwise, even sovereigns of the world will face life-threatening danger.”

“However, even if you grasp the split second and enter the formation, you still have to know the corresponding way to leave the formation, or you will become trapped within.”

“After being trapped for more than three days, the power of the formation will activate, and it is certain death to all those below sovereigns.”

The Ice Goddess’s cold voice rang out slowly from the throne. The calculations that flashed through her eyes became even more complicated.

Clearly, she had spent basically every moment calculating when to enter.

Shui Yunland stood behind her silently. She gazed at the Ice Goddess Formation curiously and slightly emotionally. She had many questions that she wanted to ask. She speculated inside, Her highness can remain here for so long just to enter the Ice Goddess Formation. Don’t tell me the great Ice Goddess really is still alive?

There was a great debate on both the Ice Pole Plane and throughout the entire Saints’ World over the Ice Goddess’s fate. Some people said the Ice Goddess was still alive, and she remained inside the Ice Goddess Formation to recover.

There were also others that said the Ice Goddess was already dead. Otherwise, why would she have allowed the Flame Reverend to run amok on the Ice Pole Plane? The so-called Ice Goddess Hall was just a front to deceive everyone else.

There were various explanations floating about. Even Shui Yunlan herself was uncertain about whether the Ice Goddess was still around or not.

Perhaps the Snow Goddess knew whether the Ice Goddess was still alive, but Shui Yunlan did not have the courage to ask.

That was not a question that a female attendant should ask!

“Now!”

The two hours elapsed in the blink of an eye. At this exact moment, the Snow Goddess called out from the throne of ice and snow. She turned into a white blur and immediately entered the Ice Goddess Formation by grasping the moment the gate of life opened.

The Ice Cloud Formation was hazy-white inside. It was filled with terrifying coldness. The Snow Goddess shut her eyes and formed a variety of seals, establishing a connection with the Ice Goddess Formation through a special method.

Whenever she changed her hand seals, the formation’s power pulsed. She did not take a single step in the formation. Instead, she advanced under the power of the formation through her control over it.

Very soon, she crossed through the Ice Goddess Hall and arrived in a colossal, icy cavern.

The cavern was extremely spacious. There was only a colossal casket lying quietly in the very centre.

The casket was completely condensed from ice. It seemed to be able to cut off all senses, such that neither the naked eye nor senses of souls could pierce it.

The Snow Goddess arrived before the casket, and a droplet of essence blood immediately drifted out of her mouth slowly, landing on the casket gently with boundless coldness.

As soon as the blood touched the casket, it vanished. In the next moment, the casket was rapidly dyed red.

“Elder sister,” the Snow Goddess stared at the casket and called out gently.

There were no other signs at all in the silent ice cavern. The Snow Goddess did not receive a reply either. Only after a very long time did a faint, almost-indiscernible voice ring out in the ice cavern, echoing from all directions.

“Little sister, y-you’ve returned.” The voice seemed to be very gentle, but it was the same as the Snow Goddess’s voice. It was filled with coldness as if the owner of the voice did not possess any emotions at all.

The Snow Goddess’s coldness and the Ice Goddess’s coldness were identical.

“I’ve returned, elder sister. I will wake you up as soon as possible,” said the Snow Goddess. Her complexion rapidly paled as her presence waned. Droplets of essence blood flowed out of her body, merging with the casket of ice endlessly.

“Little sister, you’ve returned… t-t-there’s something wrong- there’s something wrong with that…” The fleeting voice stuttered with confusion and uncertainty.

“Elder sister, what’s wrong?” The Snow Goddess was doubtful.

“Little sister, you shouldn’t have returned at a time like this. You’ve returned ahead of time.”

“I had already arranged everything. Your soul in the void was supposed to formally reincarnate after I had awakened. Afterwards, I would watch over you as you grew.”

“Hiding you from the senses of other experts was only secondary when I cast down the formation in the lower world. The greatest purpose of the formation was to stabilise your soul in the void after you reincarnated so that your soul could reincarnate at a designated time.”

“Yet you’ve actually returned prematurely…”

The Snow Goddess said nothing. Her cold eyes shone strangely. The calculating light overlapped, more intense than any of the times before.

The Ice Goddess’s voice did not appear again. Only several hours later did she say slowly, “So an extremely great power once visited that world. That power interfered with my arrangements, making your soul reincarnate prematurely.”

“Is it the twin swords of the Immortals’ World?” the Snow Goddess asked.

“No, not the twin swords. It’s a power even greater than the twin swords…”
