Chapter 139 - Frozen End Divine Arts (1/2)
”WWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAT!!!!”
With his fingers plugging his ears, Mesa disgruntledly watched on as Feng Qianhui and the others were freaking out with shock after he showed them Yamato and Excalibur, only for him to feel a tap on his shoulder. He didn't even need to turn around to know who it was that tapped him on the shoulder. And so, greatly disgruntled, he turned around to see Xia Qingyue holding out her hand to him in a 'pay up' gesture.
”[unintelligible grumbling]… here dammit.” Taking out a money card from his inventory, Mesa handed it to a smugly smirking Xia Qingyue, albeit with much reluctance.
The rest of the women looking at their exchange with lots of questions: ”Uhm… what is this all about?”
”[deep inhale]… This is me losing a bet. As for what the bet was all about? It was about whether you would freak out if I showed you Yamato and Excalibur. I said no because you practice the Frozen Heart Arts, and Xia Qingyue said yes. And in the end, she won and I had to give her 100 purple profound coins. But anyways, let us go back to the story you were telling Grand Asgard Mistress. You were telling me about a calamity that would befall the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Yet you have only spoken about the downfall of the Eternal Night Royal Family. What does that have to do with a calamity with the Frozen Cloud Asgard?”
”Right.” Said Feng Qianhui, quickly collecting herself and making a mental note to ask Xia Qingyue about this later on: ”As I was saying. The reason that they are related is because, the founder of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mu Bingyun, was saved by the Eternal Night Royal Family Queen. Even though the Eternal Night Queen's profound strength had reached the pinnacle, she was still gentle and kindhearted. Not only did she rescue our Frozen Cloud ancestor from the claws of a Tyrant Profound Beast, she'd even bestowed its profound core to our Frozen Cloud ancestor after killing that Tyrant Profound Beast, and also gave many directions that benefited our Frozen Cloud ancestor through her entire life. If it weren't for the Eternal Night Queen's rescue and guidance, then our Frozen Cloud ancestor wouldn't have made such great accomplishments that enabled her to look down at everyone in Blue Wind, and you could even say that if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be today's Frozen Cloud Asgard. Because our Frozen Cloud ancestor regarded the Eternal Night Queen as one of noble virtue and a benefactor, she never believed that the Eternal Night Royal Family was a 'sinful devil clan'. But our Frozen Cloud ancestor did not have the power to help the Eternal Night Royal Family right wrongs and avenge them, so she had no other choice but to preserve the true facts and pass them on within Frozen Cloud Asgard, to prevent the truth from ever disappearing, while also alerting all Frozen Cloud disciples to never associate with Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!
”As for the calamity. In those days, Frozen Cloud Asgard's Mistress and a wanderer of Black Fiend Empire's Heaven's Fate Clan were close friends. At that time, the Heaven's Fate Clan was at its peak. They were about to see through heaven's way and clearly discern heaven's fate. It was highly inappropriate to be able to discern heaven's fate, and ultimately, they had met judgement from heaven's way, and were annihilated. When the Frozen Cloud ancestor founded Frozen Cloud Asgard, the Heaven's Fate wanderer had previously seen through heaven's fate, and informed our ancestor of our Frozen Cloud Asgard's thousand years of glory, as well as the great calamity that would come after a thousand years. And it has already been a thousand years since the Frozen Cloud Asgard was founded. And it has been a year that I have always been ill at ease. At times I have even been haunted by nightmares when I slept. In addition to that, a disciple with abnormally high aptitude like Xia Qingyue suddenly emerged in my Frozen Cloud Asgard, the Frozen End Divine Arts that went silent for a thousand years resurfaced in the world as well and lastly, you and everything you have done for my sect. All these various abnormalities, are all hinting at the arrival of the Thousand Year Calamity.”
”I see. So that's what got you so worried and why you're even willing to break a few sect rules for me. If it means that the sect is preserved and the lives of its disciples are guaranteed, why would you care about breaking a few rules. Am I right to assume that that is an important reason as to why you asked me to join?”
”You are correct. As you surmised just now, I have asked you to join the Frozen Cloud Asgard in order to have an additional force to resist the Thousand Year Calamity, if it happens. And judging from what I have seen from you so far, I am inclined to believe that the Thousand Year Calamity will not be as calamitous as I have been fearing.” Said Feng Qianhui with a faint smile of relieve on her face: ”In the meantime, we will not disclose you joining our Frozen Cloud Asgard. At the end of the week, during the sect assembly, I will inform them myself. In the meantime, Qingyue, take Mesa Uchiha here on a stroll through the Frozen Cloud Asgard. And as for the rest of you, you may go back to what you were doing.”
”Yes.” Xia Qingyue got up, gave Feng Qianhui a salutation, and then left with Mesa.
Walking around the Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mesa noticed pretty quickly that it was very quiet. Every Frozen Cloud disciple had their own private housing and training room. Moreover, a majority of their temperaments were ice cold, so even if it was within the sect, it was very rare for them to show their face.
”So Qingyue, tell me, aren't you bored here? It's so quiet and I haven't seen a single disciple during our entire tour.” Mesa remarked, offhandedly.
”The cultivation of my sect's Frozen Cloud Art and Frozen Heart Art are all about being ice cold and tranquil, cultivating here could not be even more perfect. This kind of environment suits me. And is not much different from how I lived life before I joined Frozen Cloud Asgard.”
”Guess you got a point there.” Said Mesa nonchalantly, following Qingyue as she led him throughout the Frozen Cloud Asgard. At some point he asked her: ”Qingyue, since every single disciple has their own room, mind if I come with to see yours?”
”My room is a bit special. After I finally comprehended Frozen End Divine Arts, the Grand Asgard Mistress allowed me to cultivate at the Frozen Cloud Secret Ground inscribed with Frozen End Divine Arts.” Said Qingyue.
”Oohh! Well then I would like to see this room for myself and see what the Frozen End Divine Arts are and compare them to the True Ice Arts of mine.”
