Underground.
Ye Wangchuan and Liu Han finished reading the diary.
Liu Han's emotions were in turmoil for a long time.
An ordinary person, alone in a strange cave for five hundred years.
He didn't know how desperate he must have felt after painstakingly cultivating for a hundred years to reach the third level, only to find no exit.
He didn't know how heartbroken he must have been when the first snake that accompanied him passed away.
Just as Liu Han was overwhelmed with emotions.
Ye Wangchuan, expressionless, walked up to the corpse and tried to pull out the Frostbone Sword from the ground.
He pulled with all his might, but the Frostbone Sword didn't budge an inch.
Ye Wangchuan could feel the sword continuously rejecting him.
If he forced it out, the sword would likely self-destruct on the spot.
After a moment of thought, Ye Wangchuan reached into his thick coat and pulled out Li Luo, saying,
"Li Luo, try pulling out this sword."
"Wah! It's so cold!"
As soon as she left the warmth of Ye Wangchuan's coat, Li Luo started shivering uncontrollably.
Without a second thought, she grabbed the sword with her small hand and effortlessly pulled it out.
Seeing this, Ye Wangchuan felt a hint of joy in his heart.
What nonsense about only the pure and righteous being able to use it!
It's clearly reserved for the Child of Destiny!
He didn't think someone like Li Luo, who kicked Tang San to death and stabbed Su Fugui into a cripple, could be considered pure and righteous.
Li Luo was clearly a self-serving opportunist, always choosing what benefited her the most!
Ye Wangchuan quickly took out a spatial ring, took the Frostbone Sword from Li Luo, and stored it inside.
He planned to have the Ye family's artifact refinement elders forcibly remove the restrictions within the sword after they left, so he could wield it for himself.
With that settled, Ye Wangchuan stuffed Li Luo back into his coat and went to retrieve the heart from the skeleton's left hand.
As he did so, he said,
"Liu Han, the resentment in this heart is too strong. I'll take it first to avoid harming you!"
"And as for that sword, Li Luo, acting like a child, insisted on having it, so I took it too."
"As for this book, I'll give it to you!"
Beside them.
Liu Han nodded at Ye Wangchuan's words and said,
"Brother Ye, you saved my life. It's only right that you take these things first. Sister Li Luo's talismans were also of great help, so I have no objections to her taking the sword."
After saying this, Liu Han scratched his head awkwardly and added,
"It's just... could you help me get out of the cave? I don't have any cultivation, so I can't climb out."
On the spot.
Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo, who had poked her head out of his collar, stared at Liu Han in disbelief.
This guy...
Is he a bit too naive?
……
……
Soon.
Ye Wangchuan brought Li Luo and Liu Han to the exit.
Normally, someone at the second level of cultivation wouldn't be able to climb out of such a deep pit.
However, the person who left the inheritance had dug a path leading upward to prevent anyone else from being trapped underground.
Though half of the path had crumbled due to the passage of time.
Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan's spatial ring contained dozens of hundred-meter-long tree trunks he had previously cut down.
He used these logs to stack them vertically and forcefully climbed out.
At the cave entrance.
"Brother Ye, let's part ways here!"
"My strength is too weak, and I might hold you back. So, I plan to head to the border of the cave realm instead of joining the central conflict."
"Good luck."
After saying this, Liu Han turned and left.
Ye Wangchuan didn't stop him.
After all, he had already obtained the opportunities he needed.
Compared to heading to the border, Ye Wangchuan had more important matters to attend to.
Huff.
A heart emitting cold air and still beating was taken out by Ye Wangchuan.
The moment the heart appeared, the temperature within a hundred meters plummeted, and the cold began to spread rapidly outward.
At that moment, Ye Wangchuan realized something.
The vast snowy plain spanning tens of thousands of meters underground was entirely caused by this small heart!
A fourth-level powerhouse, even with just a single relic, could influence the surroundings for tens of thousands of meters, blanketing it in perpetual snow.
Ye Wangchuan examined the heart from left to right.
The heart was beating vigorously, showing no signs of poison or curses within.
However, a thick, almost tangible aura of malevolence continuously emanated from the heart.
Clearly, this was the loneliness, pain, resentment, and anger accumulated by the inheritance seeker during his five hundred years in the cave realm.
"Li Luo, keep an eye on our surroundings."
Ye Wangchuan casually instructed Li Luo.
Li Luo nodded and began picking flowers and fruits nearby.
"Huff—"
Ye Wangchuan took a deep breath.
Then, he carefully refined the heart.
After refining it.
Waves of emotions began to surge within Ye Wangchuan's heart.
It was as if he himself had been trapped in the cave realm for five hundred years.
Loneliness, pain, solitude...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Anger, helplessness, resentment...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Huh...
"So, what is the Frostbane Body?"
Ye Wangchuan stood expressionless, unaffected by the emotional turmoil in his heart, his rational thoughts remaining clear.
Once the negative emotions were fully digested, Ye Wangchuan suddenly felt a change within his body.
To confirm what had changed, Ye Wangchuan opened his palm and began releasing spiritual energy.
He then discovered that, as if by instinct, he could now manipulate ordinary spiritual energy or Frostbane spiritual energy laced with a faint chill.
Although the Frostbane spiritual energy wasn't pure and was filled with malevolence, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Using malevolent energy to attack enemies could also inflict mental damage.
Not only that, but the heart also contained a vast amount of cultivation energy, directly pushing Ye Wangchuan's cultivation to the mid-second level! Additionally, his body seemed to have become more resistant to cold.
Ye Wangchuan immediately took out a spear and infused it with spiritual energy.
The entire spear instantly became covered in frost, as if it had been left in a freezer for a week.
He aimed at a river and hurled the spear with explosive force!
Boom!
The spear slammed into the river, first dispersing the water in all directions around the point of impact!
Incidentally, it also killed a bunch of fish.
Then, a burst of cold energy erupted, instantly freezing the river within a fifty-meter radius and continuing to spread!
Incidentally, it also froze a bunch of fish.
The river looked as if a giant ice lotus had bloomed on its surface!
"Wow, is this the kind of opportunity the Child of Destiny gets? A special physique just handed to you?"
Ye Wangchuan couldn't help but marvel.
This time, it was fortunate that he had seized Liu Han's opportunity.
Otherwise, with the Frostbone Sword and the ability to manipulate Frostbane spiritual energy, Liu Han would have become unimaginably powerful.

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.

Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
