Chapter 943 - Celestial Ascension

Leon found himself a spot in the cave and observed the slight changes in Lynne's condition with concern written over his face.

Although the Celestial Ice Spark is needed to replenish her exhausted lifespan, Leon could not help but worry for her future.

An Early-stage Celestial Warrior only had a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Assuming the limit of Lynne's cultivation was the Celestial Warrior Realm, she won't be able to live a long life unless she refines an unbound celestial body.

However, that requires becoming one with the celestial body and abandoning her fleshly body, becoming an elemental golem like Celestial Earthshaker.

'How can I resolve the side effects of a Celestial Spark?' Leon pondered deeply with a frown.

Ten thousand years was a lot of time to find a solution. But if he doesn't actively look for one, ten thousand years could pass without him finding a solution.

Little did Leon know, Lynne was refining a Celestial Lord-level Celestial Ice Spark.

Furthermore, Lynne's potential would not be limited to the Celestial Lord Realm, thanks to the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress.

Nevertheless, Leon was not aware of that. Thus, he continued to ponder on a solution.

'My knowledge of the Celestial Realm is limited. But suppose Celestial Sparks limit people's potential according to their potential. In that case, it must have something to do with comprehension of the law,' Leon mused.

If it was a problem with law comprehension, then it was a matter related to the soul.

'If I can perfect the pure soul cultivation method and teach it to Lynne, it should resolve this issue,' Leon thought.

After all, pure soul cultivation could improve one's perception of the law, among several other benefits. He had experienced it firsthand.

Thus, if Lynne's potential is limited, he just had to increase that potential.

While Leon was pondering over Lynne's issue, the ice phoenix did not avert its cold blue eyes from Leon. On the contrary, it had been watching him and even studied his expressions carefully.

It realized Leon showed great concern for its ice phoenix ancestor's disciple and had no intention to harm her.

Even so, the ice phoenix did not let down its guard.

The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress had instructed it to protect her disciple and even treat her disciple like the ice phoenix would treat the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress.

Thus, the ice phoenix would do just that.

…

Meanwhile, Lynne refined the Celestial Ice Spark wholeheartedly without any knowledge of what was happening outside.

Typically, the process would take at least a week to refine the Celestial Lord-level Celestial Ice Spark completely.

However, Lynne had the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress to help her refine the Celestial Ice Spark. As such, a lot of time was saved in the process.

In half an hour, Lynne advanced to the Acknowledge Paragon-stage Transcendent Realm. Two hours after that, she reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

After seven hours had passed since the start of Lynne's refinement, the Celestial Ice Spark cracked. Her Transcendent Ice Crystal absorbed the last of its cold energy and comprehension of the Ice Law.

In that instance, icy power burst out from Lynne's Transcendent Ice Crystal. Then, like a dam that cannot contain any more water, it shattered.

The icy power rushed out of the shattered Transcendent Ice Crystal.

But instead of rampaging in Lynne's sea of consciousness and threatening her life, the icy power wrapped around itself with numerous overlapping layers like a ball of rubber bands.

Within moments, the sphere of icy power started glowing with a bright blue light and emanated a terrifying coldness.

After its blue brilliance subsided, a Celestial Ice Spark was revealed.

In that instance, celestial power rushed out from the Celestial Ice Spark, filling every part of Lynne's body with glowing vein-like patterns.

However, these vein-like patterns weren't the same as her actual veins and meridians.

Instead, the vein-like patterns were her second set of veins, celestial veins, that accepted the flow of celestial energy.

It was also the mark of her celestial body.

With the celestial veins running through her body, she could substitute food with celestial energy that could be refined from the vast cosmos.

At the same time, Lynne's white hair regained its former black color. Even so, a few strips of bluish-white hair remained.

It was a sign of her extended lifespan.

There weren't any spectacular worldly phenomenons in the sky. However, Lynne's ascension to the Celestial Realm will be forever remembered.

After many years, a new Celestial has ascended.

The ice phoenix sensed the changes in Lynne and understood that she had finished refining the Celestial Ice Spark.

The moment it decided to fold its wings, Lynne also opened her eyes at the same time.

"I did it, Master. I'm a Celestial now," Lynne rejoiced. She no longer had to stress over her limited lifespan.

The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress would have congratulated Lynne's ascension at this point. However, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress was strangely silent.

"Master?" Lynne called again.

However, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress did not respond. Although Lynne was puzzled by her master's silence, her attention did not remain on her master for long.

Lynne was pleasantly surprised after spotting Leon in the distance. Her eyes brightened with joy before she rushed over.

It was at that moment that the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress finally spoke.

'Stop, child! Don't go near that person. He is extremely dangerous!' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress warned with a trembling voice.

However, this warning wasn't out of fear for her disciple's safety but herself.

Lynne quickly paused her step obediently. Even so, she was stunned after sensing the fear in her master's tone.

Her master, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress, was afraid of Leon? How can that be?

While Lynne was confused and Leon was puzzled by her sudden pause, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress focused her attention on Leon with a grave look.

The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress had wholeheartedly helped her disciple with her refinement. Thus, she didn't notice Leon's presence until after Lynne completed her celestial ascension.

But the moment she did, she immediately felt the threatening power of nihility from him.

It was a power that could even destroy those that are eternal.
