Immortal of the Ages

She was so wildly overjoyed that she hardly had the mind to untangle this mystery.

"Nine stars! Nine stars! The makings of a Boundless Immortal!" Xue Yuening\'s voice was hoarse, especially grating amid the chaos of the Celestial Snow Palace.

The faces of the hundreds of Valkyries and Valkyrie Princesses, even the two Valkyrie Queens, were soon swallowed up by the brilliance of the Harmony Crown, their expressions unseen, only a profound silence remained, utter and deathly.

Then, Feng Yao herself broke this silence.

She reached out, swiftly took off the Harmony Crown, and spun it on her finger.

With its removal, the light of the crown vanished instantly, and the Celestial Snow Palace returned to its original state.

Everything seemed different than just moments before!

Looking around, the faces of the hundreds lined up were frozen, as if encased in ice, fixated on Feng Yao, not even their eyelashes stirred.

This awkward silence lasted for ten full breaths!

During those ten breaths of silence, Feng Yao was amused, while the old celestial women across from her seemed to have endured eons of agony.

Then, just as Chen Yue was about to speak… Feng Yao pointed at her and asked, "Were you about to say that I measured the time too shortly?"

No sooner had she spoken than she playfully swung the Harmony Crown back onto her head.

In an instant, nine majestic pillars of light flashed again across the skies of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm!

Bathed in that divine light, Feng Yao\'s expression was chilling, her beauty unparalleled!

Under the glow of these nine-colored divine beams, her cleansed and pristine form appeared even more sacred and proud, dazzling beyond compare!

"Wow!"

The Harmony Crown did not glow for long before Feng Yao took it off again.

The world-shaking brilliance faded once again.

The Celestial Snow Palace fell silent once more, the recently loosened expressions froze again.

A long moment passed in silence.

“Still not convinced? Here, I\'ll do it again.” Feng Yao chuckled softly and put the crown back on.

The nine-colored pillars of light burst forth anew.

“Wow!”

She continued to take it off and put it back on. Again and again, each flash of the nine celestial lights was like a resounding slap across the faces of the schemers, fierce as if it were a shoe repeatedly striking.

By the end, their faces were terribly swollen!

The nine-colored light beams piercing the snowy skies attracted countless onlookers.

Every disciple and celestial maiden within the snowy realm, unless shut away in seclusion, came out to gaze excitedly at the spectacle, uttering cries of amazement.

It was as if the Harmony Divine Palace itself had triggered an earthquake!

Inside the Celestial Snow Palace, their hearts must have felt it too, shaken repeatedly.

Finally, Feng Yao held the Harmony Crown before her, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she faced the elders of the palace and asked, “Do you need me to wear it again to confirm? If you\'re still doubting me, suggest any method you prefer for wearing it, and I\'ll gladly oblige.”

After she spoke, silence fell over the Celestial Snow Palace, unbroken for a long stretch.

People like Chen Yue, and those Valkyries and Valkyrie Princesses who had mocked her, still wore frozen expressions, tinged with a hint of blue from the prolonged cold.

Even the two Valkyrie Queens were caught in a moment of silence, waves of turmoil undoubtedly crashing in their minds.

This was especially true for Valkyrie Queen Cang Xue!! She had dominated the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm her whole life, seldom feeling fear. Yet, at this moment, under Feng Yao\'s questioning, her heart quivered fiercely!

Before, Feng Yao’s limit was her own present self. What was there to fear? Of course, nothing. But now, it was different.

This girl’s limit was the miracle she had always dreamt of!

She knew better than anyone what a 9-Star Boundless Immortal talent meant.

The three beings above her had all tested as 8-Star talents in the past, eventually all going on to become Divas. Now, they struggled bitterly to take the next step and become Boundless Immortals.

"Besides the two founders of the Harmony Divine Palace, the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm has not seen another with the 9-Star Boundless Immortal talent…”

These were the words spoken by Chen Yue.

After speaking, she gazed deeply at the Harmony Crown.

That sacred relic left by the founders, transformed from their very essence, solidified the authority of Feng Yao’s talent!

What did this mean?

Chen Yue could not stay still!

Suddenly, she descended from her throne, strode quickly to Feng Yao, and unexpectedly knelt before her, chuckling sheepishly, “I never imagined you possessed a 9-Star talent. I was blind before, I apologize! Please, do not hold this against me, command me anytime you need something!”

Her heart was in a flurry, and her words came out jumbled.

But through her actions, Feng Yao could roughly gauge the impact of her talents being revealed.

“Sister Ning!” Chen Yue quickly knelt fully, pleading to the still dazed Xue Yuening, “I beg you, be generous and don’t judge me harshly, a useless woman like me. For old times\' sake, please give your sister a chance!”

After saying this, she actually kowtowed towards Feng Yao and Xue Yuening.

At this moment, surprisingly, no one found her frantic pleading amiss.

Indeed, the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm was brutally pragmatic!

“Fine. I indeed hold no grudges,” Feng Yao said.

Chen Yue’s face lit up with joy.

“Because I also like to settle scores immediately,” Feng Yao added.

Chen Yue froze, a chill running through her.

“Disaster comes from the mouth. If you can’t control your tongue, then reward yourself with 100 slaps. Don’t stop until your teeth come out,” Feng Yao said with a cold laugh.

Chen Yue\'s face wrinkled in dismay. To plead and slap oneself in front of a junior was indeed a grievous affair.

But the thought that this woman might become a Boundless Immortal sent a shiver through her entire being, her heart and lungs trembling.

The deeper she thought, the more she realized the terror of a Boundless Immortal.

"Yes! This is what I deserve!" Chen Yue could only be thankful that Feng Yao was straightforward and not given to underhanded tactics; she meant it when she said 100 slaps—after that, all would indeed be well.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! There in the Celestial Snow Palace, she truly began, and the slaps were loud, bruising her skin—what a spectacle it was.

"Keep slapping!" Valkyrie Queen Cang Xue commanded coldly, seemingly venting some frustrations on Chen Yue.

In that instant, Chen Yue became a scapegoat abused from both sides.

Yet, Cang Xue herself was unaware that her impatient remark had inadvertently revealed her own state of mind...

It was clear who stood behind Chen Yue at the highest level!

"Boundless Immortal!" Valkyrie Queen Wu Shang, who\'d been silent up until now, suddenly stood up! Her declaration made her stance clear as she descended from her high seat!

As she came down, the ten Valkyrie Princesses and the Valkyries below could hardly delay, each approaching Feng Yao with either excitement or a complex expression.

Wu Shang looked intensely at Feng Yao, declaring, “The Harmony Crown is the guide of the founders. Feng Yao, you are a 9-Star talent, unmatched through the ages! You are the treasure of the Harmony Divine Palace, and indeed, the fortune of our Snow Lineage!”

With these words from Wu Shang, everything was set in stone.

The gazes of the Valkyries and Valkyrie Princesses finally shifted to excitement and admiration, jealousy no longer dared to surface.

"Is that so? May I then put on some clothes?" Feng Yao asked proudly.

Wu Shang smiled gently, "Of course, let me assist you."

She personally came forward to help Feng Yao, who was no fool and understood that Wu Shang had allowed Xue Yuening to use the Harmony Crown.

All Valkyries and Valkyrie Princesses watched as Wu Shang personally adjusted Feng Yao\'s attire, their hearts churning wildly.

Even Xue Yuening found herself surrounded by well-wishers. Those who had once looked down upon her, now came forward to offer congratulations.

Having taken Feng Yao as a disciple in advance and fought for her chance at the Harmony Crown, how could Feng Yao let her down after such wholehearted devotion?

And there sat Valkyrie Queen Cang Xue, the only one still seated on her throne...

For a time, the Celestial Snow Palace was a realm of both ice and fire, a dichotomy.

Flying talismans flew from the Celestial Snow Palace, the earth-shattering news of the birth of a 9-Star talent sweeping through the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm...

"Yun Xiao was right!"

Basking in it all, the War Princess felt exhilaratingly triumphant. Why be meek when one could soar to the heavens?

The path ahead would only get smoother!

With the birth of a 9-Star talent, the entire Celestial Snow Palace transformed, the once cold realm now brimming with joy.

Feng Yao reveled in it all! Unnoticed by all, the two serpents on the Harmony Crown she held began to grow dragon horns and scales, slowly transforming into dragons...

Others used the Harmony Crown to measure their talent. She had changed the Harmony Crown!

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above.

This figure, devastatingly beautiful, with flowing white hair and ruby pink eyes, was holy and pure, a pink and white serpent\'s tail dancing in the sky!

Her pink eyes looked towards Feng Yao.

And within Feng Yao\'s heart, Yun Xiao immediately recognized this woman…

"The Diva has arrived!"

"All hail the Diva!"

At that moment, everyone in the Celestial Snow Palace bowed in reverence.
