64 Spirit Ice Sec

In an empty ice field, several entities could be seen practicing a sword dance guided by a middle-aged man with white hair and a clean face.

In the field adjacent to it an old lady with a hand fan with beautiful ice mountains drawn on it was dancing, in front of her, a group of young girls and boys copied her movements, dancing with their fans.

A row of tall mountain peaks covered in snow could be seen in the horizon as snow fell on the ground but every disciple of the sect was not even feeling any discomfort at the low temperature.

Except for a certain young man with white hair and crimson red eyes who was rubbing his palms together trying to keep himself warm.

Rudra looked blankly at the scene in front of him, still stunned at the turn of events that had led him here.

"Oh! isn't this the servant that Eira brought with her." Rudra turned to look at the source of the voice, a bunch of girls who were standing at some distance whispering amongst themselves.

"Look he is looking at us, did he hear us." one of the girls in the group said.

"No, how can that be possible, after all, he is just a mortal with no cultivation." the girls giggled.

Rudra's mouth twitched at the mention of the awful situation he was trapped in, a body with no Qi, the new body formed had disconnected from both the other body forms, the lion body of Yali and the original body of Rishi.

He could feel his Dantian but could not 'access' it, for a better word.

Rudra turned his eyes away from the group pretending not to hear them.

"I need to cultivate again, then somehow I will be able to change back into the original body. I can't even get the Demonic Heart to work." Rudra grumbled as he felt his body feeling cold in this icy terrain.

Currently, he was in the extreme north of the continent, the Spirit Ice Sect, he had been here for two days now.

On the first day, he thought he was going to be a disciple but the reality hit him hard as he was not even accepted as a disciple, feeling pity for him the girl Eira had taken him as her follower.

He could not blame the sect, for not accepting him. No sect would accept a disciple without a single streak of Qi in their body.

The news of him being bought back by Eira had been spread across the whole sect like a forest fire.

Her accepting him as a follower after he failed the test to become a disciple added more fuel to the rumors circulating that he was a gigolo mooching of Eira.

"Fuckers wait till I can cultivate again I am going to break all of your mouths." Rudra cursed angrily as he stood up and returned to the residence of the girl named Eira who had dragged him into this whole mess.

Rudra at first was not even sure why she had been so hellbent to help him, but after Rishi told him that Yali had saved her life and that she must be trying to repay her favor. Rudra could only sigh at his misfortune.

"All that matters now is somehow making it to the west." Rudra was adamant about completing the mission as it was very important for the development of the Shattered Ocean Sect.

Peering inside his body using his mental strength he saw that the golden heart of the Heavenly Nether Lion had already formed a core it was fiery red in color with blue markings like lightening.

"HO!, that bastard Yali is the one to blame for all this if he had been a little bit more, tame in his actions, we would be...." Rudra cursed at Yali feeling jealous that the lion was already many steps ahead of them in cultivation.

"Hey, Rishi!" Rudra called out inside his head.

"Yes," a calm voice replied. making Rudra doubt whether this old man even cares for the situation they were stuck in.

"I have run into some troubles in the Undead World, ...." Rudra proceeded to explain the soul plants that could increase the soul power of beings and his plans to grow them.

"Oh! Plants that help the undead to form soul crystals, interesting!" Rishi was very amused by the sound of new plants he was sure and if he succeeded in growing these new types of spiritual plants he would advance in his Spiritual Farming profession.

"Okay, I will enter, tell me the chant," Rishi said calmly.

Rudra passed on the chant he used to make his consciousness travel back and forth.

"You should attempt learning the Omniscient Eye," Rishi said to Rudra after he memorized the chant given to him.

"Omniscient Eye...." Rudra muttered, "I will try it."

"And don't forget we have a mission to complete!" Rishi reminded him before his voice trailed off.

"Rishi Rishi?" Rudra called out a few times confirming that his consciousness had indeed left.

Rudra walked up ice stairs leading into a beautiful stone house which was decorated by ice murals all over it. This was the residence of the sisters that had brought him to the north of the continent.

"Hmm, you are back early," Iclyn soft voice entered his ears, he turned to look at her wearing the customary white robes of the Spirit Ice Sect but her robes had embroidery of a bluebird done on it.

"Iclyn don't jump out of nowhere, you almost made me fall down the stairs," Rudra complained as he moved past her into the manor.

Iclyn's brows furrowed at his response, she was really at her last nerve with this man if not for him being the savior of her little sister she might have just swatted him to death.

"Ehem, you should remember your position as a servant," Iclyn voice had none of the softness of before.

"Don't bother me, woman, I ain't your servant," Rudra said as he slammed the door shut on her face.

Iclyn was left stunned standing outside his room, she balled her fist swearing to pay him back as she stormed of annoyed into the field where Rudra was before.

"You why are just standing there....you are sentenced to 1 day in punishment hall....you.."

The unfortunate disciples who were just chilling about had to face the wrath of Elder Iclyn.
