The Yishui Continent was in the northernmost part of the immortal realm. It was different from Feng Cang, where it was spring all year round. It was a snow-white world of ice and snow. Along the way, they saw very little green. Apart from the snow, there was only the boundless sea beside them.
Because they were in a hurry to save someone, the three did not linger on the continent. They headed straight for the Heavens beyond Heavens' Yishui Palace. Along the way, they did not see many immortal officials. It was rather quiet.
With the pass that Chu Xuan gave them, they arrived at the heavenly palace's entrance without any obstructions. After a brief explanation of their purpose to the immortal official, someone went in to inform the immortal official. Not long after, someone came out to greet them and greeted them.
"The Celestial Emperor invites you in!" Without another word, he led them towards the main hall.
There was a person sitting in the hall. He was dressed in white, and his long hair was tied up high. His angular face looked very righteous, but his eyes were as cold as ice. It was as if one look at them would cause ice and snow to float out. He did not have the slightest bit of humanity, only a coldness that came from his bones.
From his aura, he must be the Celestial Emperor, Xin Han.
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor." The three bowed politely.
The person above glanced at the three of them, his eyes still emotionless. After a while, he opened the door and said in a cold tone, "You are from Invincible Sect?"
"That's right!" Lonemoon habitually put on a business-like expression.
Xin Han seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and said coldly, "I remember … I sent someone to send the Spirit Convening Lamp back to Feng Cang."
"Celestial Emperor, you misunderstand! We have indeed received the lamp. "Lonemoon continued," We are not here to ask for the Spirit Convening Lamp. "
"Oh? Why is that? "
Lonemoon smiled even more warmly. "It's like this. One of our disciples had some problems during his tribulation, causing the Qi of the flames to enter his body. We thought of many ways but could not get rid of it, so … "
"You want to borrow the Luo Han Stone!" Xin Han said directly. His voice was still cold, but his brows furrowed.
"That's right, we are here for the Luo Han Stone." Lonemoon had already guessed that it would not be so easy to borrow it. He tried his best to calm his tone and said seriously, "I also know that this is a divine artifact, but we are eager to save people. As long as the Celestial Emperor agrees, we are willing to exchange the Divine Refining Bell for it. If the Empyrean Lord is worried, we can go together. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand and a small bell covered in cracks appeared in his hand. He had been too busy these few days and had not had the time to send it to Xun Shu for repairs. He wouldn't feel the pinch even if he gave it away.
Xin Han's expression did not change. He glanced at the Divine Refining Bell in Lonemoon's hand. A moment later, he continued, "Everyone lent me the Spirit Convening Lamp to help me recover my primordial spirit. I should agree to all kinds of requests, and the Luo Han Stone is indeed in this Heavenly Palace. It's just that … it's not convenient to lend it to you. "
"What do you mean by that, Celestial Emperor?" Lonemoon paused. If he wanted to borrow it, he wanted to borrow it. If he didn't want to borrow it, he didn't want to borrow it. What did he mean by it being inconvenient?
Xin Han's frown deepened. His expressionless face darkened. Suddenly, he sighed and stood up. As he turned and walked towards the back of the palace, he said, "Everyone, follow me and you will understand."
Lonemoon and the others exchanged a look and followed him.
Xin Han led them through a sea of clouds towards an independent immortal palace. As he flew on his sword, he explained to them.
"That day, I was still recovering from my injuries. Fairy … Fairy Baiqiao brought the Spirit Convening Lamp. My primordial spirit was at its most unstable. To stabilize my primordial spirit, she forcibly lit the Spirit Convening Lamp and used the Soul Subduing Technique. So … "
He waved his hand and the doors of the immortal palace opened automatically. A gust of cold white Qi rushed towards them. Even Lonemoon and Yi Qing, who were Young Emperors, could not help but be shocked by the cold Qi.
The inside of the Immortal Palace was already snow-white, and the ground inside was covered with thick ice. A person lay on the platform in the middle of the layer of ice. She was dressed in a pink fairy dress and seemed to be asleep. They could feel a faint aura emanating from her.
"That's … Baiqiao!" Lonemoon exclaimed. A few months ago, she was still alive and kicking, stealing lights. How did she become like this? Her breathing was weak, as if she could die at any moment.
"Her cultivation level is too low. She forced herself to use the divine artifact and the Soul Subduing Technique. That's why her sorcery backfired and her primordial spirit was injured." Xin Han shook his head. There was no guilt or heartache on his face. Instead, there was only disapproval. "I only realized this after I woke up. But I know too little about primordial spirit sorcery. I could only use the Luo Han Stone to freeze her dantian and meridians so that her condition would not worsen. "
With that, he conjured a seal. The next moment, a piece of red jade appeared above the ice bed. It floated in mid-air and emitted a steady stream of cold Qi.
"Without the Luo Han Stone, her condition would worsen. That's why I can't lend it to you!" Xin Han explained in a low voice. He helped Baiqiao up from the ice bed and conjured a few healing spells. Bai Qiao, who was originally covered in a thin layer of ice, now had a few drops of water on her forehead, and her complexion had regained some color. Her eyelids moved as if she was about to wake up. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you feeling better?" Xin Han asked. His voice was still cold.
Baiqiao paused. "You …" Her voice was hoarse. Her face contorted in pain. Lonemoon frowned.
On the way here, he had prepared himself that she would not lend it to him. He was prepared to pay a huge price for it. He did not expect this to be the reason. They wanted to borrow the Luo Han Stone to save someone. Now, he wanted to save someone. He did not know what to say.
"The Celestial Emperor said that her primordial spirit was injured?" Yi Qing suddenly asked.
The two people on the other side were stunned. Even Bai Qiao, who was on the bed, turned around. She seemed to recognize them and her eyes suddenly widened. "I …"
"You need to rest!" Xin Han comforted her softly. He waved a hand in front of her eyes. Bai Qiao's body went limp. Her eyes widened for a moment, then slowly closed again. She fell into a deep sleep. He helped Baiqiao lie down. Then he turned to the two of them and nodded. "Bai Qiao's primordial spirit was indeed injured."
Lonemoon also reacted and immediately understood what Yi Qing meant.
"That's easy. My sect's Spirit Convening Lamp is naturally more useful than the Luo Han Stone. What do you think? " He took a step forward and suggested, "We'll leave the Spirit Convening Lamp here. The Celestial Emperor will lend us the Luo Han Stone. When my sect's disciple recovers, we'll exchange the Luo Han Stone. Of course, Fellow Immortal Bai Qiao's injuries must also recover. What do you think? "
Xin Han hesitated for a moment. Then, he nodded. "That's a win-win situation. Alright!"
Lonemoon turned his hand and took out the Spirit Convening Lamp.
He did not take it. Instead, he looked down at Baiqiao. "Please come with us. Please wait for a moment. I'll keep the Luo Han Stone."
Lonemoon and the others nodded. They took the lamp and left. Xin Han was quick. In a short while, the cold Qi around the immortal palace disappeared. He came out with the Luo Han Stone and exchanged it with Lonemoon for the Spirit Convening Lamp.
The few of them were in a hurry to save Bai Qiao. They bade farewell politely and flew out of the heavenly palace.
When they could no longer see the heavenly palace, Yi Qing said, "He did it on purpose!"
