"Wang Ye..."

Meng Qian looked at Wang Ye. Although she didn't speak, she had a premonition that Wang Ye would not agree.

Sure enough.

Just now, the discussions of the elders in the cabinet, Wang Ye had been listening.

The moment Meng Qian was about to speak, Wang Ye already knew what she wanted to say.

He immediately spoke:

"No!"

"Pills and such are just external things. Even if they do enhance one's strength, in my opinion, it's at the cost of my future potential, which is not worth it."

"Unless it's a special period, it's best not to use pills to enhance one's cultivation."

"After all, pills are just external aids. If you rely on them for everything, it will only hinder progress."

When Wang Ye said this, his expression was very serious and filled with determination.

Lin Shuang, standing nearby, looked at Wang Ye with even more admiration in her eyes.

In such a situation, Wang Ye could still reject the temptation of suddenly enhanced strength. This made Lin Shuang's affection for Wang Ye grow rapidly.

"Alright then."

Meng Qian was silent for a moment and then compromised.

As Wang Ye said, pills could temporarily enhance Wang Ye's strength, but at the same time, they would exhaust his potential.

This potential could be the key for Wang Ye to break through his limits in the future, possibly leading to failure.

Pills are only supplementary.

"Sigh."

While feeling excited about Wang Ye's refusal to take the pills, Meng Qian also sighed.

Because if Wang Ye did not use the pills, it meant he would have to face immense danger ahead.

"Elder Meng..."

"Taking the pills will surely consume future potential, but there are ways to..."

The elders in the cabinet wanted to speak, but Wang Ye waved his hand and respectfully said to them, "Elders, there is no need to say more. I know you are worried about me, but I feel it is better to rely on myself in cultivation!"

"Otherwise, when I become stronger in the future, thinking back, if I had to use pills to deal with these Fifth Grade Martial Warrior nuisances instead of my own power, it would become a heart demon for me."

"Cultivation is about refining the heart, whether on Earth Star or Spirit Star. If I cannot achieve this, how can I advance further?"

"How can I break the limits set by my ancestor Guo Yi and become stronger than him?"

This time, Wang Ye looked outside the cabinet as if seeing a world far beyond the sky.

The cabinet elders were slightly stunned when they heard Wang Ye's words.

Break... Wang Ye's ancestor Guo Yi's limits?

Guo Yi was Wang Ye's ancestor?

But...

For a moment, some of the elders turned their gaze to Meng Qian.

In their memory, neither Meng Qian nor Wang Yifeng seemed to have any relation to Guo Yi a generation prior.

Wang Ye also realized he had misspoken.

Immediately, his eyes darted around as he hastily said:

"Did you forget? Guo Yi's wife was the previous Holy Lord of our Ice Sect, Thunder Saint Master. In my view, Thunder Saint Master is like our sect's ancestor. So, saying Guo Yi is my ancestor is not an issue."

Wang Ye's quick thinking was evident.

The cabinet elders, hearing Wang Ye's explanation, did not doubt him and nodded in relief.

Indeed.

They, the Ice Sect, were still descendants of Guo Zhoushen.

Meng Qian, however, looked at Wang Ye suspiciously.

Wang Ye's explanation seemed reasonable, but it felt off to Meng Qian.

She felt that Wang Ye's claim of Guo Yi being his ancestor sounded genuine.

"Could it be... Wang Ye is really a descendant of Guo Zhoushen?"

Meng Qian pondered.

But soon, she shook her head, thinking she might be overthinking.

No matter how talented Wang Ye was, it seemed impossible for him to be related to Guo Zhoushen.

...

Ice Sect.

Ice Soul Valley.

Ice Soul Valley was a very dangerous place in the Ice Sect.

Previously, Ice Soul Valley had not been discovered, leading to many Ice Sect disciples venturing in and never returning.

After learning of the missing disciples, the Ice Sect continuously searched without knowing all the missing disciples perished in Ice Soul Valley.

Only much later, when an Ice Sect elder, in his exploration, went into Ice Soul Valley and sent out clues before dying, did the sect realize the danger.

That elder also perished there.

Subsequently, news circulated that any Ice Sect disciple returning safely from Ice Soul Valley could enhance their strength significantly.

Thus, many Ice Sect disciples ventured into Ice Soul Valley for exploration.

On Spirit Star, countless people risked death to enhance their strength.

Before the Ice Sect could dispel the rumor, several disciples indeed returned safely, having significantly enhanced their strength.

From then on, Ice Soul Valley was preserved as a dangerous place with significant opportunities.

Yet, due to heavy losses, where nearly one thousand Ice Sect disciples entered and only one returned, the sect designated Ice Soul Valley as forbidden.

Disciples were forbidden from entering.

Ice Sect's decline was partly related to Ice Soul Valley.

Many powerful geniuses believed they could survive Ice Soul Valley and ventured in, never to return.

Meng Qian took Wang Ye and Lin Shuang to Ice Soul Valley, looking down from above. They saw only deep snow, appearing unremarkable.

It seemed no different from other valleys in the Ice Sect.
