As time passed, Lin Xintong remained motionless. Her two eyebrows and the ends of her hair were covered in a layer of light blue ice crystals. The ice crystals were like flowers, as though they were made of sapphire. ....
In the first level of the God Advent Tower, Lin Xintong chose a disk array that was suitable for her. Lin Xintong did not gain much from the two disk arrays, but the painting on the third level of the God Advent Tower had touched Lin Xintong. She sat cross-legged in front of the painting and entered a trance-like state.
No Law, No Shape, No Void, No Self.
This was a type of epiphany that could only be encountered and not sought.
After an unknown period of time, very gently, Lin Xintong's eyelashes slightly trembled. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of clear glass-like eyes.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior …"
Lin Xintong looked at the figure in the portrait, muttered softly, and bowed respectfully.
The portrait was of the ancient Great Empress.
In the God Advent Tower, they had traversed tens of millions of years. One was in the portrait, the other was outside the portrait. Lin Xintong's aura was vaguely similar to that of the ancient Great Empress.
She picked up her sword and stood up. Then, without looking back, she walked towards the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
During the epiphany, Lin Xintong saw many scenes. Among them, there was even a portion of the ancient Great Empress' memories.
So … the God Advent Tower was not created by the ancient Great Empress. It was an opportunity obtained by the ancient Great Empress.
Back then, the ancient Great Empress had once walked up the God Advent Tower step by step like Lin Xintong.
"If I want to be like the ancient Great Empress and change the fate of my naturally terminated meridians, I will have to walk the path that she walked."
Lin Xintong said silently in her heart as she walked up the stairs step by step.
In front of her, there was a distant door of light. It was the entrance to the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
And as she walked up the stairs, Lin Xintong's heart was abnormally calm. At a certain moment, she looked up ahead. Not far from her, there was a white-dressed woman standing there with a sword in hand.
The white-dressed woman's looks and figure were extremely similar to Lin Xintong's. It was as if she was Lin Xintong's reflection in a mirror.
She was the guardian of the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
Only by defeating her could one step into the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
"Draw your sword!"
Lin Xintong said lightly.
The white-dressed woman looked at Lin Xintong as her gaze landed in Lin Xintong's eyes. As their eyes met, they could see their own reflections in each other's eyes.
After a long time, the white-clothed woman gently shook her head. "I didn't expect that you already have her aura …"
"Hmm?" Lin Xintong's eyebrows moved slightly. She was somewhat surprised by the white-dressed female's words. She originally thought that the white-dressed female was a guardian without any intelligence or soul, but she never expected that she would say such words.
"You said 'she'? It seems like you're not just an energy lifeform that can only carry out orders … "
As Lin Xintong spoke, the white-dressed woman sighed and sheathed her sword. She said faintly, "You have already made up your mind to join up your terminated meridians and wield your fate … You have a sword in your heart, but I have no sword in my heart. I can't stop you."
"Go on. However, even if you pass through me, the fourth level will not be easy for you."
As the white-clothed woman spoke, her body exploded into a rain of light that scattered in all directions.
She left behind a beam of divine light that shone down from the sky onto Lin Xintong's body.
This beam of light finally condensed on Lin Xintong's arm, forming a beautiful Empyrean Mark.
Lin Xintong did a quick count. There was a total of … 18 Empyrean Marks!
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 and arrived at the fourth level of the God Advent Tower. Standing in front of the door of light, Lin Xintong stood there silently for a moment before she stepped into the door of light without any hesitation.
The door of light flickered, but there was no obstruction.
Upon entering the door of light, Lin Xintong felt that she had arrived in another world.
In front of her was an endless stretch of frozen land. Cold winds howled in her ears and everywhere she looked, there was white snow.
In this world, it was as if Lin Xintong was the only living creature.
This land of ice and snow was an endless snowy plain. For some unknown reason, it gave people a deep sense of despair.
At this moment, a gentle voice resounded in Lin Xintong's ears, "Child, walk over. I can't give you a path. You have to use the sword in your hand to slash out a path."
This gentle voice resounded in Lin Xintong's ears, giving her an inexplicable sense of peace.
Lin Xintong took a deep breath and looked into the distance. She could not see the end of the icy plain. That sense of oppression and despair lingered on the icy plain, becoming more and more intense.
This was just like her naturally terminated meridians. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of it.
This icy plain … was also a path that the ancient Great Empress had once walked?
Lin Xintong only took a glance before she decisively stepped into the icy plain.
From a young age, she knew that if she wanted to go further and live on, she needed to put in a hundred times more effort than others.
Even so, there might not be any results.
The cold winds howled as they flew towards Lin Xintong like spinning flying knives. This cold wind brought with it a wanton energy charge. It was not something a typical warrior could withstand.
Lin Xintong conjured her Yuan Qi to protect her body to withstand the cold wind. Instantly, Lin Xintong felt the pressure.
Her Yuan Qi was being depleted very quickly. Under this situation, Lin Xintong knew that she could not go far.
This icy plain was endless. Maybe when her Yuan Qi was completely depleted, she would not be able to see the horizon.
This seemed like … an impossible challenge …
When her Yuan Qi was completely depleted, what would happen when she was placed in this terrifying icy plain with just her body?
The Great Empress mystic realm had the danger of death. Lin Xintong did not know what would happen if she failed this trial. However, she continued on without any hesitation …
The ice was bone-chilling. It was like wanton sword Qi was slicing at Lin Xintong's exquisite face. She did not have any expression. Her footsteps did not slow down because of this.
Dressed in white and holding a sword, she walked alone.
Just as the white-dressed female said, Lin Xintong was determined to join up her naturally terminated meridians. She already had a sword in her heart.
Step by step, looking down from high up in the sky, Lin Xintong appeared extremely tiny in this vast snowy plain. The ice footprints she left behind were quickly smoothed out by the cold wind …
Although she was determined, the Yuan Qi in Lin Xintong's body did not increase because of her determination. There was no miracle. Her Yuan Qi decreased and gradually, she could not withstand the cold wind.
Finally, a wisp of cold wind penetrated Lin Xintong's protective Yuan Qi and entered her body.
This cold Qi immediately penetrated her meridians and blood vessels, deep into her bones.
The biting cold made Lin Xintong's face turn pale.
She could clearly feel that this cold Qi was stimulating her naturally terminated meridians. It made the cold Qi in her body become even stronger, slowly corroding her life force.
