"Old bastard! Let go of the little phoenix!"

"Old undead! If you dare harm the little phoenix, even if you die, we will not let you die in peace!"

The four demon beasts desperately attacked the array, roaring angrily.

The Ice Phoenix followed Gu Chenfeng into the Secret Realm, and if anything were to happen to it, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Gu Chenfeng.

The white-robed elder paid no attention to the four demon beasts.

The white-robed elder hadn't harmed the Ice Phoenix, he had only invited it into the palace.

Outside the array.

Seeing that the white-robed elder hadn't harmed the Ice Phoenix, the four demon beasts finally stopped roaring, feeling much more at ease.

However, their four giant eyes still fixedly stared at the white-robed elder.

On the palace square.

"Come with me." The white-robed elder said with a calm smile, turning and walking towards the great hall.

The Ice Phoenix followed, curiously asking, "Senior, what are you doing?"

The white-robed elder smiled calmly, "Ye Qingwu has her inheritance, and naturally, I have mine. If she won't give it to you, I will. Unlike her, I don't have to wait for a destined person."

"What? Senior wants to give me your inheritance?" The Ice Phoenix was shocked on the spot, her pretty face stiffening with disbelief.

The Ice Phoenix could barely believe it. Her purpose for coming was to seize the Ancient Immortal Artifact, and she had planned to apologize and leave, never thinking she would receive an inheritance.

The white-robed elder smiled calmly, "I only look at people, my requirements aren't high. I can see you're not a villain, and I'm very satisfied. I'm very reassured to pass my inheritance to you."

After the shock, the Ice Phoenix quickly said, "Senior, isn't this inappropriate? You have the Gold Attribute, and I have the Ice Attribute. Wouldn't it be better to give your inheritance to another with Gold Attribute?"

"It's not a problem." The white-robed elder interrupted the Ice Phoenix, smiling lightly, "I said it earlier, I'm not like Ye Qingwu; I don't have to wait for the person she is waiting for."

"A hundred thousand years ago, I encountered someone with extraordinary talent, who also had the Ice Attribute. Unfortunately, he refused my inheritance. He didn't refuse because he looked down on it."

"Extraordinary talent? Ice Attribute? Could it be master?" The Ice Phoenix's first thought was of Gu Chenfeng.

Outside the array.

The Fire Qilin worriedly said, "They've gone inside."

"That old guy better not do anything to the little phoenix," the Eight-armed Demon Spider said anxiously, wishing to rush in at once.

The Dragon Turtle roared furiously, "If anything happens to the little phoenix, I'll curse him until his Spiritual Power disperses!"

Inside the great hall.

The Ice Phoenix immediately saw the Ancient Immortal Sword floating in the center of the hall.

Aside from the Ancient Immortal Sword, there was also a scroll.

Looking at the sealed Ancient Immortal Sword, the Ice Phoenix asked, "Is this your sword, Senior?"

"This is not my sword." The white-robed elder shook his head with a smile, "When I arrived, the owner of this palace had long been gone."

With those words, the white-robed elder waved his hand, and an Ancient Immortal Sword exuding a faint cold light appeared, a terrifying Ancient Aura swept out like a storm.

"Ice Attribute! What a powerful aura!" The Ice Phoenix's pretty face was suddenly shaken.

The white-robed elder smiled slightly, "This is an Ice Attribute Ancient Immortal Sword I obtained years ago. During my lifetime, I never encountered a disciple with the Ice Attribute. This sword has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years."

Seemingly sensing the powerful Ice Attribute Spiritual Power within the Ice Phoenix, the Ancient Immortal Sword that had been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years suddenly started vibrating, emitting a strong sword hum.

The Ice Attribute within the Ice Phoenix became exceptionally excited at this moment, as if it wanted to burst out of her body.

The white-robed elder happily said, "It seems this sword likes you."

With a wave of his hand, the Ice Attribute Ancient Immortal Sword flew directly towards the Ice Phoenix, circling around her several times before finally hovering in front of her.

At this moment.

Looking at the Ancient Immortal Sword before her eyes, the Ice Phoenix felt a wonderful sensation of merging with the sword.

"Drip blood to recognize it as your master," the white-robed elder said with a faint smile, "From now on, you are the master of this sword. I never expected this sword would see the light of day again."

"Thank you, Senior," the Ice Phoenix gratefully thanked, then bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Ancient Immortal Sword.

As the Ancient Immortal Sword absorbed the blood, a terrifying Ice Attribute power erupted, as if a beast had broken free from a cage to regain its freedom.

The Immortal Sword trembled incessantly, and its sword hum longed as if announcing its freedom to everyone.

The white-robed elder smiled slightly, "From today on, you are free."

The terrifying Ice Attribute power rapidly spread throughout the palace, freezing everything in its path.

The four demon beasts outside the array were incredibly shocked.

"What terrifying Ice Attribute power!"

"This is the Ice Attribute power of the Ancient Immortal Sword!"

"The Ancient Ice Attribute Power!"

Even with the array's barrier, they could feel the incomparably terrifying Ancient Ice Attribute Power.

The Ice Phoenix slowly reached out to grasp the Ancient Immortal Sword.

The moment she held the Immortal Sword, the Ice Phoenix felt a sense of déjà vu.

The terrifying Ice Attribute released by the Ancient Immortal Sword began to merge with the Ice Attribute within the Ice Phoenix, birthing a new and even more frightening Ice Attribute.

The Ice Phoenix's aura surged at this moment.

With the addition of the Ancient Ice Attribute Immortal Sword, the Ice Phoenix's aura soared to the Middle Stage of Half-Immortal Realm.

"Is this the power of the Ancient Immortal Sword? It actually helped me advance a full realm! This can't be true, can it?" The Ice Phoenix was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

The terrifying power made the Ice Phoenix's heart race uncontrollably.

With just the boost from the Ancient Ice Attribute Immortal Sword, the Ice Phoenix, in the Early Stage of Half-Immortal, already possessed the strength of the Middle Stage of Half-Immortal.

If she were to unleash the Spirit Communication Jade, the Ice Phoenix couldn't even imagine how formidable her power might become.

"Very impressive," the white-robed elder said with a pleased smile, "With your cultivation, and the domineering Ice Attribute, wielding this sword allows you to contend with the Middle Stage of Half-Immortal."

"Thank you, Senior," the Ice Phoenix gratefully thanked once again.

The white-robed elder smiled happily, "Although my inheritance doesn't quite suit you, it will greatly benefit you, and I don't want to wait another hundred thousand years."

"Since we're fated, I'll pass my inheritance to you. In the future, if you encounter someone suitable, you can also give them my inheritance."

As he spoke.

The white-robed elder activated his Spiritual Power, slightly raising his withered hand, and the Ice Phoenix hovered in the air.

The white-robed elder formed a Sword Point and then pointed into the void, a dazzling golden light shot out and instantly penetrated the Ice Phoenix's brow.

The white-robed elder smiled calmly, "The Spiritual Power of my lifetime has condensed into pure power, which can assist you in advancing your cultivation and might even help you ascend to the Immortal Realm."
