The second princess sighed regretfully and asked: "Auntie, do you mean to let the third sister stand for election?"
Fairy Yunya said: "I have this idea. My status in the sect is not high and I have limited resources. If the third sister can be elected as a saint, she will be able to practice well in the future. Although you and she are not the same mother, But after all, there is a trace of blood relationship, and I can also say something nice to my aunt when we meet each other."
"Besides, after the Saint is promoted to the Immortal Emperor, the Piaomiao Snow Sect will also have a slight turn of events. It may be able to wash away its past decline and return to the top of the Immortal Realm. By then, your Frost and Snow Kingdom will also be able to significantly expand its territory and become the most powerful country in the North."
The second princess was shocked and said: "So, the frequent heavy snowfalls in recent times are also the work of Piaomiao Snow Sect?"
"Yes, when snow covers a million miles in radius, how can the monks in the North resist? At that time, some remaining forces, big and small, will have no choice but to follow the Piaomiao Snow Sect."
Cheng Ling was shocked. The heavy snowfall was indeed not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The Piaomiao Snow Sect is really ruthless. In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, they have abandoned tens of millions of monks and mortals.
"It turns out to be like this, but if this happens, those civilians will be unable to withstand the severe cold and die in large numbers." The second princess' tone seemed to be a little unbearable, but also revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Mere mortals are just ants in our eyes, so what if they die? Jing'er, you are too kind. Whether they are mortals or cultivators, the fittest will survive. If they die, it proves that they cannot adapt to the cruel laws of nature. "
"But...but..." The second princess wanted to say more, but Fairy Yunya interrupted again and said coldly: "Just like the painter you admire, he does have extraordinary qualities. But in the eyes of cultivators like us, he is just an ant with a little ability. Well, I can't stay here for too long, don't forget about the third princess."
The second princess said softly: "She is outside the main hall. Why didn't my aunt tell her herself instead of letting me do it?"
Fairy Yunya said: "How important it is to choose a saint. The third princess is still young. If anyone sees the relationship between her and me, it will never be a good thing. Therefore, not only can I not interfere, but also Avoid suspicion."
After saying that, she gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Cheng Ling secretly rejoiced. With Fairy Yunya's cultivation, how could she not know that she and Chu Tian were outside the window. Just because he wanted her to participate in the Saintess Selection, he pretended not to see it, which allowed him to get a lot of useful information from it.
Drawing his attention back to the little girl in front of him, he saw that her brows were furrowed and she looked like she was thinking hard. She suddenly recalled in her mind the scene she saw in the Forbidden Ice Zone, those lifelike people who were frozen to death on the ice. The woman was extremely intolerable.
Forget it, she can be acquainted with him, so she is destined to be acquainted with her, so please help her if you can.
He coughed dryly and said to the little girl: "Third Princess, do you want to become an immortal? Just like the fairy sister I saw before."
The little girl pouted and said, "You told me not to call me Third Princess. Although that fairy sister is good-looking, I don't want to be like her."
"Why? Is it because she killed those guards?"
"Maybe, but I also feel that the sister seems unhappy. Although she is smiling, there seems to be countless sadness between her eyebrows."
Cheng Ling was shocked. This little girl had such a keen mind, so he said, "Okay, I'll call you Tian'er. If you don't want to become an immortal, are you willing to see the outside world? Just like I did before As mentioned in the story, there are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and you can experience many interesting things.”
"Okay! Okay!" Chu Tian's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Grandpa, are you willing to take me there?"
Cheng Ling was secretly ashamed. What did he mean by taking her there? If he wanted to leave, he would have to take her with him.
But soon, Chu Tian's face became depressed again and said: "I am a princess. It is not easy to leave the Ice Palace. My father and sister will definitely not allow it."
Cheng Ling said: "It doesn't matter, I have a way. Don't you have Xiaobai? As long as it is here, it can take us away. Don't worry, I will accompany you all the way and show you all the beautiful things about this person."
"Xiao Bai? Can it take me out?"
"Of course!" Cheng Ling said firmly. He was betting that the female cultivator must have done something to Chu Tian before. The tiger fairy was both monitoring and protecting, at least to protect Chu Tian until she grew up. Only that residual soul can absorb enough nutrients.
In this way, with the strength of the third-level immortal beast, how can this ice palace be trapped?
Chu Tian suddenly became happy and said, "Okay, then I'll call Xiao Bai over now."
"Wait!" Cheng Ling hurriedly stopped him: "It's not possible now. We need to find an excuse to leave here and wait until night before setting off."
Chu Tian smiled excitedly, feeling that this matter was very exciting, and immediately said: "This is easy to handle, just say that I want grandpa to go to my own palace to help me paint."
Cheng Ling smiled slightly, acquiescing.
Chu Tian blinked and ignored the small wooden sticks on the ground. He stood up and trotted towards the second princess's hall. It didn't take long for her to turn around and said excitedly: "Okay, let's go back to the palace."
Cheng Ling naturally left without saying a word and let her leave.
The palaces of the two sisters were very close to each other, and it was less than tea time. The palaces were about the same size and very spacious, but the decoration inside was a bit messy, and there were many children's gadgets, which was very suitable for her current age.
In the center of the palace, there was a large cauldron with several maids standing on both sides. The white tiger was lying lazily on the edge of the cauldron, seemingly dozing off.
"You all go down, this princess wants grandpa to paint for me!" After entering the palace, Chu Tian followed the words discussed by the two before and ordered all the maids inside to leave.
After that, she came to the white tiger, stretched out a snow-white and tender arm, grabbed its ear and said: "Xiao Bai, I will leave the palace with my grandpa in the evening, you have to take us out."
The Tiger Immortal raised one eyelid and glanced at Cheng Ling, then at Chu Tian, and finally whined twice, unsure whether to agree or not.
But Chu Tian said happily: "Grandpa, Xiaobai agreed."
Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, there must be some mystery in Chu Tian's body. He completely suppressed the tiger fairy and couldn't resist at all.
The old man and the young man waited patiently. At night, when Chu Tian's eyelids were fighting, Cheng Ling knew that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately asked her to tell Xiaobai to take the two of them away.
Xiaobai was huge, and with Cheng Ling sitting on its back, it didn't look crowded. He just heard it growl, spread out its four hooves, and bolted towards the outside of the palace.
The guards guarding outside the palace were shocked. In fact, from the first time the third princess brought the white tiger into the palace, they had been on guard, fearing that their animal nature would show up at some point, and they would not only eat Chu Tian, but also bump into her. No matter where you are, you can't afford to suffer.
But the little princess liked her very much, so the white tiger just followed her every day and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. As time went by, he relaxed his vigilance. Unexpectedly, such an incident happened today, and they didn't know what to do for a moment. When they woke up, they had already disappeared. They only remembered vaguely seeing the princess and the painter's back on the tiger's back.
Shocked, he quickly reported it to his superiors. Not long after, heavily armed armies gathered and rushed out of the ice palace.
Xiaobai was very fast and rushed out of the ice palace before it was time to have a cup of tea. When he saw the snowy sky again, Cheng Ling let out a long sigh and finally came out.
Chu Tian was very excited. There were no sleepyheads for a long time. Although it was cold outside the Ice Palace, the snowy scene in the sky had not been seen for a long time. It seemed that even the air was filled with a breath of freedom. She asked: "Old Grandpa, where are we going?”
Cheng Ling pondered for a moment and then said: "It's important to leave the capital first. After leaving, let's go to Xuecheng first to see how the people there are doing."
"Okay, Xiaobai, do you hear me? Let's go to Snow City." Chu Tian gave the order, and Xiaobai spread his hooves and ran towards the city gate.
A third-level immortal beast is equivalent to an immortal in the eyes of mortals. Xiaobai seemed to be tired of staying in the ice palace. As soon as he got out of the cage, he returned to the sea like a dragon, using his speed to the limit. Under the snowy sky, people around saw only a white light passing by, and they couldn't tell what it was, leaving only a row of shallow footprints on the ground.
Cheng Ling's physical strength was still there, and she was worried that Chu Tian was afraid of the cold, so she held her tightly in her arms. But the moment he hugged her, there was a sudden tremor in his heart. In Chu Tian's body, he felt a terrible force growing, and that force also spread a trace of coercion, constantly invading him. mind.
There was a sharp pain in Cheng Ling's head, and he couldn't help but snorted. Instinctively, the originally silent sea of consciousness produced slight fluctuations. This fluctuation was like an army, spreading out the space in the sea of consciousness. The mental power was organized bit by bit to resist the pressure.
"Kaka" A trace of coercion hit the mental defense layer, making bursts of sounds like broken glass. Xiaobai at his feet was still running fast, but the two people on the tiger's back were engaged in a mental battle. Tug of war.
That inexplicable pressure tried every means to enter Cheng Ling's sea of consciousness, perhaps to absorb nutrients, or perhaps to control his will. Cheng Ling resisted with all his strength, and no one could take advantage of him.
Fortunately, Chu Tian was still young at this time, and the residual soul left in her body had limited growth and had not reached its strongest form. However, Cheng Ling's sea of consciousness gradually became stronger as it continued to compete with it.
As time passed, Cheng Ling's originally dark spiritual world seemed to be lit up. More and more spiritual power gathered from all directions, like thousands of rivers returning to the sea, and finally condensed into a core.
The core rotates rapidly and continues to grow, forming a powerful traction force, like a lighthouse on the sea, guiding the source of spiritual power scattered in every corner and unable to find a direction back to their hometown.
It's been a long time...
As the spiritual power in Cheng Ling's sea of consciousness gathered more and more, the pressure coming from Chu Tian gradually became weaker. On the contrary, it was the core of spiritual power in Cheng Ling's sea of consciousness that pushed back the pressure. Don't give up, start from the inside out, just like a new-born chick breaking through the constraints and breaking out of its shell.
"Boom~!"
There was a strong roar in his mind, and Cheng Ling couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but his face showed long-lost joy. The sea of consciousness that had been sealed in dust for decades finally broke through the barrier, and his spiritual consciousness returned. !
