One hundred and eighteen years ago, the icy peak in the north quaked incessantly until the tremor reached the edge of the snowland.

The Broadsword King Cao Yuan and the Young Zen Master watched it for a long time in the small temple in White Town and ascertained that it was the younger one.

As a result, the Young Zen Master went over.

The Light Mirror blocked the sun, and the scripts filled the sky. Afterwards, the snowy dust had vanished without a trace; it was unclear if it returned to the snowland or died.

A few days later, Tong Yan of the Center Sect, who brought the Green Sky Mirror with him was pursued by the Mysterious Dark Sect. Jing Jiu happened to pass by and took Tong Yan to the edge of the Cold Mountain, but they were later trapped by the Scorching Sun Banner in the hands of Wang Xiaoming.

While the flames filling the air and the hot air waves melting the rocks, the Snow Girl stood up on the other side of the snowy ground.

She extinguished the mysterious flames in the air, snatched the Sword of the Universe, and blocked the retreating route for Jing Jiu, falling asleep soon after.

Jing Jiu brought her to the Three-Thousand Nunnery. He piled up a heap of quilts by the round window and set up a few formations to prevent Dayuan City from being overwhelmed by the ice and snow.

The Snow Girl was brought by Jing Jiu to Green Mountain after she woke up.

Nobody was on the peaks at the time, and Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing had gone somewhere else to shun away from responsibility.

The Snow Girl was brought to the Sword Jail by deception and was locked in that cell protected by the Sealing of Thousand-Mile Ice.

Besides Jing Jiu, Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing, everybody else thought that the Snow Girl was the daughter of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom.

The Immortal Taiping and the Center Sect, who had guessed it based on some clues, thought she was the daughter.

Jing Jiu knew it was not the case from the very beginning.

The Snow Girl was none other than the Queen herself.

He didn’t say anything about it, pretending he didn’t know.

The Snow Girl pretended that he didn’t know since he hadn’t said anything about it.

It wasn’t until one hundred and eighteen years later that her true identity was revealed.

…

…

The Fairy Lady Bai Ren claimed that she was the strongest person in heaven and earth and had no match.

Jing Jiu claimed that she was wrong.

The strongest being in this world had never been the human Cultivation practitioners, including Jing Jiu, who had ascended; it was the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom who was the strongest.

Countless gazes were fixed on the small and short figure, the Snow Girl, their eyes full of terror and fear.

All the Cultivation practitioners, no matter which sect they were from, couldn’t help but instinctively flee to a farther place in the night sky and on the flowing clouds.

The hard and dense black cliff rocks on the ground, covered with the ice and snow, looked like the snowland in the north.

Standing on the snow, the Snow Girl didn’t pay any attention to other Cultivation practitioners. She stared at Bai Ren in the night sky, the expression in her eyes extremely cold and nonchalant.

Her body was very small and she looked adorable, but she exuded an exceedingly powerful energy.

She stood on the snow like a little snowman built by mischievous children at the entrance of a street, but her formidable nature effectively suppressed that of Bai Ren in the sky.

She looked like a ruler who was looking down at her subjects on top of the city gate.

She looked like a grandmaster watching the flowing clouds.

And she looked like a Saint who was observing heaven and earth.

No, actually none of these couldn’t describe her accurately.

She was heaven and earth themselves. It was impossible to uproot her, since she was so steadfast and mighty.

Countless thin snowflakes followed her line of sight to spring up and fling toward Bai Ren in the night sky.

Seeing this, Chi Yan felt astonished, wondering if this…was the Flowing-Snow Sword style.

In fact, such a powerful Flowing-Snow Sword style had never been demonstrated on Shangde Peak. Yuan Qijing couldn’t have done it even if he had come back from the other world.

Those thin flowing snowflakes were even more horrific than the deepest cold source under the ground.

Dozens of golden specks dropped down between Bai Ren’s fingers, looking like grains of sands. They encircled her like the twinkling stars, blocking the flowing snow coming up from the ground.

The fallen rocks were everywhere among the peaks, and some of them dropped down only now after they were hurled up into the sky. These rocks passed soundlessly through the areas filled with the golden light and the flowing snow and then broke into the catkin-like crumbs.

The Cultivation practitioners present had no way to participate in a fight of such a high state. All they could do was watch it in awe like those rocks and wait for the outcome quietly.

“I have to admit that I was a bit careless earlier,” Bai Ren said to the Snow Girl calmly. “Now that I know you’re the older one, I’m not going to overlook you anymore.”

The Snow Girl remained reticent, but her small body exuded an increasingly more terrifying cold intent.

The stars filled the night sky, which didn’t have a single cloud at the moment. Yet, a snowstorm suddenly occurred. In a short time, the peaks of Green Mountain were all covered with snow.

As the large amount of flowing snow in the night sky was about to freeze Bai Ren on the spot, she disappeared all of a sudden and reappeared one mile away.

Dozens of faint golden lights appeared in the night sky and gradually subsided. In the end, they formed dozens of golden light particles around her.

The Snow Girl looked at her again. The cold wind mixed with the icicles and snowflakes flew forward.

“I’m a fairy woman. Even if you’re the highest lifeform in Chaotian, what can you do to me?”

The faint and elegant voice echoed among the peaks of Green Mountain.

The exceedingly cold intent moved along, like a large pen drawing something constantly in the night sky.

The stars seemed frozen at the moment; but Bai Ren was not harmed in any way.

The accumulated snow on the top of Tianguang Peak grew higher. Even those Cultivation practitioners in the high state had a hard time withstanding the cold intent of heaven and earth. Their faces were pale, their groans pained.

Bai Ren came to the night sky above the top of Tianguang Peak and asked Jing Jiu, “Is this your absurd plan?”

She was the fairy woman who could travel between heaven and earth freely.

Even if the Snow Girl possessed the most terrifying power of heaven and earth, she could do nothing to her. Those blunt attacks could hardly harm her rather than destroy this world.

“You’re wrong again.”

Standing in the wind and snow, Jing Jiu went on, “Now that I predicted that you would come back, I’ve of course found a way to kill you.”

Hearing this, the people felt baffled, wondering what he could possibly do in the fight of such a high state since he was not at the level of the Immortal Jing Yang who had ascended. Countless gazes fell on Jing Jiu after passing through the terrifying wind and snow. They saw him raise his right hand.

It was then that the Dead Dog took a slow step back into the ocean of clouds.

The accumulated snow fell off his body and created many holes in the ocean of clouds. The peaks of Green Mountain could be vaguely seen through those holes.

The peaks were all covered with snow, except that a few spots still had the green color; a stream was flowing down the green valley slowly.

There were many buildings by the stream, where the Sword-Washing hall was located and the disciples of Green Mountain studied after they entered the inner gate. On the cliff wall across from the stream were many manor caves and courtyards, where the young disciples resided. And there were many dense forests by the stream, which used to be the home for the monkeys of Shenmo Peak.

Usually, the Sword-Washing Stream under the sunlight looked like a golden whip laying quietly among the peaks.

And yet, that day, it looked like a silvery whip under the stars filling the night sky.

Whether it was the golden whip or the silvery whip, it was nonetheless a whip.

Jing Jiu reached his right hand into the wind and snow, as if he wanted to grab something.

The Sword-Washing Stream suddenly sped up its flow. The thin ice on the surface of the water broke and then vanished without a trace; and the stream seemed as if it would leap up off the ground.

The monkeys who had been silent the entire time screamed all of a sudden. Their voices were chaotic and ear-splitting, sounding quite anxious and excited with a hint of barbaric and murderous intent.

At the end of the Sword-Washing Stream was a cliff where the Inherited Sword Competition was held. There were dozens of huge rocks atop the waterfall that served as the platforms for the masters and guests to observe the event.

Those huge rocks suddenly left the surface of the water and gathered together, forming a huge elongated round boulder; the cracks on the surface of the boulder looked like the concatenated deer skins.

If the Giant of the Alien Land came to Green Mountain from the Huge Whirlpool, this elongated round boulder would be a suitable sword hilt for him.

Jing Jiu’s right hand suddenly gripped forcefully in the wind and snow and then raised it up, as if he was heaving an extremely heavy load.

Boom!!!

The Sword-Washing Stream left the valley.

The meandering stream became clean flowing water, heading toward the night sky. It gave off a silvery shimmer under the starlight, resembling a huge silvery whip laying in heaven and earth.

…

…

As Jing Jiu reached his hand into the wind and snow, the Fairy Lady Bai Ren had already sensed something was out of place, a surprised expression showing in her eyes.

She had disappeared from the night sky. Breaking through the wind and snow filling the sky, she arrived many hundred miles away in an instant.

She kept retreating. In a few moments, she had arrived in Nanhezhou. The Muddy River was flowing slowly in heaven and earth, with a sign of being frozen.

The Snow Girl’s impact on heaven and earth was horrifying, but her movement was even more unbelievable.

Bai Ren was indeed a fairy lady; no one could travel faster than she, no matter whether it was Jing Jiu’s Underworld Fairy Sword, the Dead Dog’s Stepping Cloud, or any flying sword.

She turned around and faced Green Mountain, wondering if she should take a breather tonight since that Queen of the Snowy Kingdom was truly troublesome.

She looked up at the high sky abruptly with a slightly changed expression in her eyes.

The starlight suddenly grew dimmer, as a huge silvery whip lashed down from the Empty Realm.

Pah!!!

The silvery whip, ignoring her amazing and fast movement and dozens of golden light specks full of fairy intent, hit her ankle squarely.
