"Isn't she already in control of her own power? Why is she still regarded as a heretic?" Mofan asked.
"The Magic Association has always been like that. They are terrified of powers they don't know about. It doesn't matter if it's out of helplessness or on purpose. They treat powers they don't understand as heretics. As a matter of fact, we all know there are many powers in this world that don't follow the rules of magic. Take the Totem Beasts, for example. They exist, but the Magic Association has never acknowledged them. They have even been erased from history, "Mu Ningxue said.
"The Magic Association … the Magic Association … they might be thinking of humans and Mages in the past, but I don't think that's the case now. It's more like a centralized government," Mofan sighed.
The Magic Association was huge, with branches all over the world.
Not every Magic Association had changed. Many Magic Associations still followed their principles. Mofan had witnessed it with his own eyes. However, it wasn't Mo Fan's first time hearing about the Magic Association and the Holy Judgment Court and the Heresy Judgment Court acting tyrannically.
However, to Mofan's surprise, Qin Yu 'er was related to the Heresy Judgment Court too, and was treated as a heretic!
"The Heresy Judgment Court was too tyrannical. No faction or organization dared to speak up for Qin Yu 'er. Only Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong …"
"Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong was a disciple of a renowned clan. His objection was meaningless. He was expelled from his clan instead. It's the reason why he was sent to Bo City, despite being a genius back then … I didn't hear it from Qin Yu 'er. I heard it from the Mu Clan. If the Heresy Judgment Court wasn't involved, Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong would be in a high position on the national team. He might even be the advisor of our national team," Mu Ningxue said.
The mentors of the national team had a very high status. Even some Councilmen had to bow to them. It was Mofan's first time hearing about the Chief Military Instructor's story. He could easily imagine how high-spirited the man was back then, and how unforgettable the experience was …
"The Heresy Judgment Court sealed her in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain, a place where she would rather die than live for seven years. She's going to sleep in a ten-thousand-year-old glacier forever," Mu Ningxue's lips trembled when she said the words.
Seven years, seven years had passed in the blink of an eye. It sounded so simple when Qin Yu 'er said it, but Mu Ningxue knew very well what kind of torture those seven lonely years were.
Mu Ningxue had experienced it herself when cultivating with her Ice Physique. Qin Yu 'er had been cultivating diligently for seven years, just so she could control the Ice Magic in her body and return to a normal life …
However, the Heresy Judgment Court had sealed her back in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain, where no one could find her, when she was clearly in control of the situation. It was crueler than executing her on the spot!
"'He said he would come back, even if his hair turned white … it's the meaning of my life.' That's what Qin Yu 'er told me." Mu Ningxue repeated the words softly. Even her emotions were reflecting Qin Yu 'er's emotions.
Mo Fan was unable to utter a single word after hearing this.
He was deeply moved when he heard Mu Ningxue briefly describing Qin Yu 'er. Now that he had arrived at Tianshan Mountain and experienced the cruelty and coldness of the place, he recalled what Mu Ningxue had told him …
Therefore, he had to set foot on Tianshan Mountain, even if he had to turn into a living dead.
Was it because Qin Shihuang's Tyrannical Soul was trying to devour Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong's everything? Was it because he could not let go of his will?
When Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong lunged at the evil black Mantle, he was not in great pain because he had lost his flesh, but because he could not see Qin Yu 'er again on Tianshan Mountain.
"Qin Yu 'er said she saw Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong when she was freed from the ice, but he turned around and left. She couldn't understand … "Mu Ningxue said.
Mofan glanced at the glacier and recalled Zhan Kong's half-human, half-dead face.
If Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong had chosen to turn around, Mofan believed he could understand how he felt.
Mu Ningxue did not say a word, as if she was immersed in the story. She could feel endless sorrow pouring into her chest from just a few words. She was feeling sorry for them, and was unwilling to accept the outcome.
Mofan's mind was filled with what had happened on Tianshan Mountain. He suddenly had the urge to go back in time and try his best to change the situation so Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong could be freed from the Qin Shihuang's Curse, so that he could reunite with Qin Yu 'er and tell her with a smile, "I'm here."
The two remained silent for a long time, immersed in the story.
After some time, Mofan finally recalled his initial question. He adjusted his emotions and asked, "What about your Third Element? What's wrong with it?"
"Our kind of physique will lead to a serious problem. That is, the newly awakened element can easily become a dead element. You can also understand it as a kind of abnormal awakening. It won't gradually grow like other stardust, but will die prematurely. I asked Qin Yu 'er about it, and she was in the same situation as me. She only had one Element after reaching the Advanced Level, the Ice Element. She didn't Awaken any other Element, "Mu Ningxue said.
"How did that happen?" Mofan said.
"Even though I've Awakened my Third Element … a Tianshan Scar Ice Spirit died prematurely because of it," Mu Ningxue said.
"Died prematurely?"
"Back then, I was too eager to grow stronger. Qin Yu 'er already told me that there might be a problem with my Third Element, but I still signed a Contract with a Tianshan Scar Ice Spirit. In the end, it …" Mu Ningxue said with a dull expression.
Back then, Mu Ningxue and her family were greatly affected by Mu Ningxue. They were severely ostracized. On top of that, after being eliminated from the World College Tournament and changing her surname, she was obsessed with the desire to grow stronger.
As a matter of fact, the death of the Tianshan Scar Ice Spirit had awakened Mu Ningxue. She realized that she had been too impatient. If she did not calm down, she would only hurt the people around her in the future.
Qin Yu 'er had spent seven years on Tianshan Mountain to learn how to control the power that would harm others. She had simply let it go, causing her to lose her mind.
