176: Clean it up, then roll it.

"You... you go too far!"

Fairy Linglong finally managed to break free from that bone-deep fear for a fleeting moment.

Jealousy and humiliation burned her Dao Heart like poisonous fire.

"I am the Saintess of the Qionghua Heavenly Palace!"

"How dare you humiliate me like this! My Qionghua Heavenly Palace will never let you off!"

She shrieked, putting on a brave front.

This was her last and only reliance.

Su Linger finally turned around slowly.

Looking at the seemingly crazed Fairy Linglong, a flicker of emotion appeared in her ice-blue eyes for the first time.

It was not anger.

Nor was it mockery.

It was a faint sense of disappointment.

"Qionghua Heavenly Palace?"

She repeated the name softly.

Then, she shook her head.

"Too small."

"What?" Fairy Linglong was stunned.

"Your vision, your Dao, your Sect."

Su Linger's gaze calmly swept over her, and then over the terrified Elders and Disciples behind her.

"They are all too small."

"So small that they aren't even worthy of being my opponents."

This sentence was more hurtful than any insult.

It directly negated everything Fairy Linglong took pride in.

"You are courting death!"

Fairy Linglong was thoroughly enraged.

She could no longer suppress the killing intent in her heart; she channeled all her immortal essence, and the ice-blue Immortal Artifact sword in her hand let out a mournful cry, turning into a stream of light that struck straight at the center of Su Linger's brows!

This sword strike was the Peak attack of her, a True Immortal at Perfection!

However.

Su Linger didn't even move.

She merely raised her eyes.

"By my decree."

"The ice and snow of this Realm shall submit to me."

Boom!

The entire Frostfall Ancient Domain vibrated violently at this moment!

The ice-blue sword light stabbing toward Su Linger suddenly solidified in mid-air.

On the blade, the Law of ice and snow belonging to Fairy Linglong let out a fearful wail.

Then.

They, like mutinous soldiers, frantically surged backward!

"No!"

Fairy Linglong discovered with horror that she had lost control of the Immortal Artifact sword!

Even.

Even the ice-soul immortal essence she had Cultivated for hundreds of years inside her body solidified at this moment, no longer obeying her command!

She had become a Mortal with nothing but a Realm!

"This... this is... Law-Following Speech!"

The Elder kneeling on the ground exclaimed, her eyes filled with endless despair.

In this world.

Su Linger was the only god!

Su Linger raised her hand and beckoned gently toward the Immortal Artifact sword hovering in mid-air.

The Immortal Artifact sword let out a joyful hum and obediently flew into her hand.

"Not a bad sword."

She flicked her finger lightly against the blade.

"It's a pity it followed the wrong Revered Master."

"Pfft!"

Fairy Linglong was struck as if by lightning and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

That was the backlash to her Dao Foundation from having her life-bound Immortal Artifact forcibly taken away.

Her aura instantly withered.

Her whole body collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were hollow and deathly still.

Su Linger did not look at her again.

She cast her gaze toward the Elder who had been the first to kneel.

"My patience is limited."

The Elder trembled all over, as if waking from a dream.

She glanced at Fairy Linglong on the ground, who was now like a cripple, and then looked at Su Linger, who stood high above like a deity.

She knew the moment of choice had arrived.

"I... we will obey!"

She squeezed these words out through her teeth.

Then, she stood up and walked toward the Qionghua Heavenly Palace Disciples who were still stunned in place.

"Didn't you hear Pavilion Revered Master Su's words!"

She shouted sternly.

"Clean this place up!"

The so-called cleaning.

Naturally, it meant dealing with the corpses of their fellow Disciples who had been frozen to death outside the Spirit Frost Divine Hall.

And handing over all the Magic Treasure Storage Rings on them.

Humiliation and struggle flashed in the eyes of the Qionghua Heavenly Palace Disciples.

But in the end, under that absolute suppression of strength, they chose to submit.

Su Linger ignored them further.

She took a step and walked, step by step, up the icy stairs leading to the throne.

Finally.

On that throne, which symbolized the authority of ice and snow.

She sat down slowly.

The moment she sat down.

The entire Frostfall Ancient Domain seemed to come alive.

Endless power of the ice and snow Origin turned into torrents and surged into her body.

Her Realm, at this moment, began to grow slowly and steadily once again.

...

Half an hour later.

Inside the Spirit Frost Divine Hall, everything was brand new.

All the corpses had been cleaned up.

One by one, the Storage Rings were respectfully piled up under the throne by that Elder.

Su Linger slowly opened her eyes.

Her aura was even more profound and restrained.

"Get out."

She waved her hand.

The space crack that had already healed was torn open again.

The Elder, as if granted amnesty, took the group of disheartened fellow Disciples, supported the Fairy Linglong who was like a walking corpse, and fled the place in a wretched state.

As if fleeing a nightmare they would never forget for as long as they lived.

The entire underground ice cave returned to tranquility once again.

Su Linger leaned back on the wide throne, a wisp of ice-blue flame dancing gently on her fingertip.

She was sorting out her gains from this trip.

The remnant soul of the Ancient Demon and the Legacy of the Frostfall Immortal King.

Not only allowed her Realm to step into the Mid-stage Profound Immortal in one go.

But it also allowed her Spiritual Frost Dao Body to complete its first true transformation.

She felt that her understanding of the Dao of ice and snow had reached an unprecedented height.

Most importantly.

This Frostfall Ancient Domain.

It was not just a place of Legacy.

It was also a mobile war fortress personally forged by an Immortal King!

An Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact!

"From now on, I shall call you the Spirit Frost Divine Hall."

Su Linger whispered softly.

With a thought.

The entire immensely large Ancient Domain began to shrink violently.

Finally, it turned into a hexagonal ice crystal mark, branded on the back of her hand.

After doing all this.

She took out the disciple token of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect.

And gave a brief report of her gains from this trip to her Revered Master.

Very quickly.

The token vibrated slightly.

Her Revered Master's familiar, slightly lazy voice resonated in her mind.

"Hmm, not bad."

"Don't bother with that Qionghua Heavenly Palace."

"A bunch of women whose vision isn't even as big as the beads on your Third Senior Brother's abacus won't be able to stir up any trouble."
