What was left behind was a divine light that fell from the sky, shining on Lin Xintong’s body.
This light finally formed on Lin Xintong’s arm, becoming a beautiful set of Empyrean Marks.
With a simple count, there was a total of… 18 Empyrean Marks!
The 18 Empyrean Marks made Lin Xintong feel that she was one step closer to obtaining the recognition of the Great Empress mystic realm.
She walked up the stairs into the four level of the God Advent Tower. Standing in front of the door of light, Lin Xintong stood there silently for a while before stepping through the door without any hesitation.
The door of light flashed and it did not obstruct her in any way.
Upon entering the door of light, Lin Xintong felt like she had arrived in a new world.
In front of her, there was an endless land sealed in ice. She heard the cold winds blow and all that entered her eyes was white snow.
It seemed like the world had Lin Xintong as the only living thing.
This snow world was covered in endless snow plains, and for some reason, it seemed to give people a deep sense of despair.
At this moment, a gentle voice echoed in Lin Xintong’s ear, “Child, go on. I can’t give you your path. You have to use the sword in your hand to slash a path out.”
This gentle voice echoed in Lin Xintong’s ears, making her feel an unexplainable sense of calm.
Lin Xintong inhaled deeply and she looked far into the distance. There was no end to the icy plains. The pressure and sense of despair hovered above the icy plains and it became more intense.
It was like her naturally terminated meridians. There was no way of abandoning it no matter how hard she tried.
The icy plains… were something the ancient Great Empress had walked on herself in the past?
Lin Xintong then resolutely stepped onto the icy plains.
Ever since she was young, she knew that if she wanted to go further and live on, she had to put in work that was a hundred times more than others.
Even so, the result was not guaranteed.
The cold wind blew and it was like spinning flying daggers that flew at Lin Xintong. These gusts of cold wind brought along with them a wanton energy surge. It was not something that any ordinary warrior could withstand.
Lin Xintong powered up her Yuan Qi protection to endure the cold wind. In an instant, Lin Xintong felt the pressure.
Her Yuan Qi was depleted extremely fast, and under these circumstances, Lin Xintong knew that she could not go far.
The icy plains were endless. She might not even reach the horizon that she could see even when her Yuan Qi was emptied out.
This seemed like… an impossible challenge…
When her Yuan Qi was completely depleted resulting in her using body just being in such a terrifying icy plains, what would happen?
The Great Empress mystic realm had the danger of death. Lin Xintong did not know what would result from the failure of this trial, but she still proceeded without hesitation…
The ice bound her and pierced straight into her bones. They were like sharp sword Qi that was slashing at Lin Xintong’s exquisite face. She did not have any expression, nor did her footsteps slow down one bit because of all these reasons.
With a white dress and a sword, she proceeded alone.
Like the white-dressed girl said, with Lin Xintong determined to join up her naturally terminated meridians, she already had a sword in her heart.
Step by step, if one looked from high up in the air, Lin Xintong appeared extremely tiny in the snowy plains. The footsteps she left behind were quickly erased by the cold wind…
Although she was strongly determined, her Yuan Qi was not increasing due to her determination. There was no miracle as her Yuan Qi slowly decreased, as she became unable to withstand the cold wind.
Finally, a gust of cold wind pierced through Lin Xintong’s protective Yuan Qi and entered her body.
This gust of cold wind immediately seeped into her meridians and blood vessels, straight into her marrow.
The bone-biting chill made Lin Xintong’s face suddenly turn white.
She could clearly feel that this gust of cold air had stimulated her naturally terminated meridians, causing the frost Qi in her body to increase and slowly consume her vitality.
