Thirty-three Cave Heavens, as the name suggests.
A thousand years ago, thirty-three Great Practitioners combined their efforts and donated their own grotto boundaries, thus forming this world.
Back then, Xie Xuanyi, in pursuit of the Dao, observed the 'Sword Intent' left by these Sword Palace sages one by one, almost traversing all of these thirty-three Cave Heavens.
He knew where Jiang Miaoyin was secluding herself.
Jiang Miaoyin cultivates the "Ice Soul Sword Dao". This sword Dao was created by the Jade Bone Immortal, one of the founders of Yuping Peak. To comprehend this sword Dao, one needs to enter the Ice Soul Cave Heaven.
...
...
The frozen plains were vast, with snow flying in a flurry.
A figure in black attire controlled his sword, traveling through the wind and snow.
Inside the Thirty-three Cave Heavens, Divine Thought was greatly compressed. Although this place was a blessed land, it was ultimately also a place where Great Demons were confined.
Even Xie Xuanyi found his Divine Thought compressed within a hundred feet.
He controlled his sword, traversing the sky above the grotto heaven, and soon saw the figure of a woman in white sitting desolately.
The figure sat before a high cliff, facing the barren wall. Behind her was a long frozen waterfall under heavy snow. Though she wore a veil, hiding her face, her whole being emitted an aura of cold and loneliness.
Xie Xuanyi landed on the cliff.
As his Sword Qi receded,
The woman's cold voice echoed faintly.
"Senior Brother."
The figure of the woman in white sitting desolately trembled slightly.
Snowflakes fluttered down.
Snow-white fragments flew like fireflies and fell before Xie Xuanyi.
The woman's voice was low and mournful with a hint of self-mockery, "You finally came... I've waited for you for a long time..."
"Shut up."
Looking at the woman in white with her back to him, Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly, "Say another word, and I'll shatter your Divine Soul completely."
"..."
The woman immediately fell silent.
Xie Xuanyi had been here before; he knew that the Ice Soul Cave Heaven imprisoned a Great Demon.
Snow Demon.
The Snow Demon's lifebound divine skill, like the "All Living Beings" it wore, allowed it to transform into human shapes by observing the hearts of people.
A cultivator entering the Ice Soul Cave Heaven,
If they had any regrets in their Heart Lake,
Could be captured by the Snow Demon and lured into the snow.
"It's you again."
The woman in white sitting with her back to Xie Xuanyi slowly turned her head. The veil was lifted by the wind, revealing a pair of pale, pupil-less eyes. The Snow Demon's gaze was cold and filled with disdain. "Xie Xuanyi... After so many years, why have you come here again? Haven't you already comprehended the stele inscriptions of the Ice Soul Cave Heaven?"
Back then, Xie Xuanyi sought the Dao, traveling through the Thirty-three Cave Heavens.
He not only comprehended the steles of sword cultivation left by the sages of the Sword Palace, but also battled with most of the imprisoned Great Demons.
He had fought the Snow Demon back then.
The outcome was without suspense.
The Snow Demon, which excelled in manipulating hearts, stood no chance against the pure Sword Cultivator Xie Xuanyi, whose Heart Lake was pristinely clear. It was utterly crushed.
"I'm here to find someone."
Frowning, Xie Xuanyi said, "Has a woman entered the Ice Soul Cave Heaven recently?"
"Find someone?"
The Snow Demon was taken aback.
"Hehehe..."
The next moment, the woman in white sitting desolately couldn't help but laugh.
She studied the young man in black before her, eyes full of mockery: "Have you fallen in realm?"
"..."
Xie Xuanyi remained silent.
The Snow Demon laughed even more happily: "Over a decade ago, you were at Yin God Perfection. Now you are merely at the Initial Stage of Yin God?"
She saw clearly.
Xie Xuanyi's aura was much weaker than it had been! This guy had definitely fallen in realm!
However, one thing puzzled the Snow Demon. Over the years, Xie Xuanyi had not aged but had instead grown younger.
"In some sense, you could say I've fallen in realm."
Calmly, Xie Xuanyi said, "But are you sure you want to oppose me because of it?"
"Interesting."
The woman in white slowly stood up, shaking off the snow on her.
With a mocking smile, she said, "Indeed, there was a woman here recently. Her cultivation was formidable, and her Dao Heart very firm... However, she held a trace of obsession in her heart. These past few days, she has been observing the inscriptions while I studied her Sword Intent. Before seeing you, I was still pondering what kind of obsession hid in her heart to make her Sword Dao so 'melancholic'?"
"I advise you not to target her."
A golden light flickered between Xie Xuanyi's brows.
A golden flying sword flew out slowly.
[Chen'e] floated above Xie Xuanyi's head. This was the first time he had used his Lifebound Flying Sword since advancing to Yin God.
In the battle against Meng Kejian at Taoyuan, despite the life-and-death struggle of the Yin Gods, Chen Chong had been by his side.
The Thirty-three Cave Heavens were different.
Here, Xie Xuanyi could strike without restraint.
"How frightening..."
The Snow Demon squinted at the golden sword light, sneering coldly: "A mere Yin God Ten Realms, do you think you can kill my Divine Soul?"
The next moment.
The golden flying sword disappeared and reappeared, already piercing through the woman in white's chest and heart.
Rip!
A gush of blood spurted out!
The veil was torn apart by the Sword Qi, revealing the perfect, delicate face of Jiang Miaoyin, as stunning as a celestial being. The Snow Demon's eyes were shocked, clearly not expecting the fallen realm's sword attack to be so fast. She fell to her knees, clutching her chest pierced by the Sword Qi, her face filled with poignant sorrow: "Senior Brother..."
Before the words were finished.
The flying sword swept back again.
"Jiang Miaoyin"'s body shattered, but there was no blood; it merely collapsed like a massive snowfall.
Countless white snow particles whirled, reassembling into a hazy female figure.
"You really can't be deceived."
The Snow Demon sighed, then with an indifferent and mocking expression, said, "Xie Xuanyi, you are truly heartless. Such a fine person calls you Senior Brother, yet you feel nothing."
