Ye Xiao looked at the sphere of icy smoke that seemed to be swirling constantly. The moment it appeared, a cold wave swept over, causing everyone to feel as if they will freeze in an ice sculpture the next moment.
Everyone was astonished and fearful at the same time. They have no idea what this thing is, but since it was able to terrorize them to such an extent with its icy aura, they could not help but be wary and cautious about this newly appeared icy sphere.
"Is this the fragment of Ice Source of Chaos?" Ye Xiao looked at the sphere and muttered in a low voice. He knew that his voice could definitely reach the mysterious lady's ears, thus he waited for the answer to come.
As expected, she soon responded to his question with a sigh and deep emotions in her voice. She said: "Yes, it is."
"I didn't expect you to really come across this treasure. You might not know, but there are many ranks of treasure above the God Rank. One such rank is called Empyrean which is one rank above the God Rank."
"This Ice Source of Chaos is an empyrean-ranked treasure and a top one at that. Even True Divine Gods would fight for such a treasure. This treasure accidentally fell to this world from the Void God Vault because of me."
"Although it is only a fragment, as long as a person compatible with the ice attribute could absorb and refine it, not only will that person could obtain a special ice-attributed body, but that person could also obtain complete control over the ice element. It means that a person's understanding of the Ice Law's Profound Meaning will reach 100%. That person could manipulate the ice element as they want."
"There are many other benefits, but most of them will be nullified because of the limit of Heavens, not to mention, it is only a fragment."
After saying this much, the mysterious lady stopped talking. She did not go into detail or tell him what kind of more benefits it could bring if not for the limit of the Heavens.
Ye Xiao understood that the mysterious lady doesn't want to tell him that information, thus he did not ask for anything.
He could have absorbed this treasure, but after thinking for a while, he looked at his woman and finally chose Yue Ying.
Yue Ying was the most suitable to absorb and refine the fragment of Ice Source of Chaos. It is because she has already comprehended the 5% Profound Meaning of the Ice Law. She has also cultivated a few ice-attributed martial arts skills.
After that, without any hesitation, Ye Xiao waved at Yue Ying and the others.
Seeing Ye Xiao's action, Yue Ying and the others didn't slow down. With a sway of their bodies, they arrived in front of Ye Xiao.
"Ying'er, this is the fragment of Ice Source. It is very beneficial for you. I intend to let you absorb and refine it." Ye Xiao looked at Yue Ying and pointed at the sphere not far away then said.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yue Ying and the others were shocked. They suddenly looked at the sphere once again. Once again, their bodies couldn't help but tremble. The extreme chill that came from the fragment of Ice Source almost made them unable to withstand it.
After the shock, Yue Ying said in a trembling voice: "That... I don't want to absorb it. I think it is very very dangerous!"

Ye Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying: "In the path of cultivation, a cultivator's path is always filled with dangers. If a martial artist wants to improve and become stronger, they have to step over those dangers first."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. Since it is only a small fragment, you'll only benefit after absorbing and refining this sphere of icy energy. It will bring you no danger."
Yue Ying thought for a while and found what Ye Xiao said is true. She said: "Then... You should absorb it. You should know that you have to take care of us five women always, you have to be strong for that."
Ye Xiao was speechless when he heard this. He thought: 'Why her words sounded as if it has another meaning?'
Anyway, he shook his head, saying: "I don't match this fragment of Ice Source. If I forcefully refine it, I will only hurt myself. Among all of you, you are the only one who matches the fragment of Ice Source. You are the most suitable one to refine it!"
As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, Yue Ying tilted her head and thought for a while before nodding in agreement.
Xue Xiaofei and the others were also sincerely happy for Yue Ying. Yue Ying would definitely become stronger if she could absorb and refine this fragment of Ice Source.
"Buzz!"
After Yue Ying agreed, she stretched out her hand and beckoned. The fragment of Ice Source was pulled by her and grabbed by her hand.
Strands of azure icy energy were visible to the naked eye seeped out of the fragment of Ice Source and intertwined with her hand.
As the azure icy energy intertwined, the fragment of Ice Source seemed to feel a sense of danger. It struggled violently and a blue light bloomed. It was incomparably dazzling. Wisps of cold air spread out, causing Xue Xiaofei and the others to involuntarily shiver.
However, no matter how hard that fragment of Ice Source struggled, it was unable to escape from Yue Ying's slender and sparkling palm for some reason. It is because of Ye Xiao who secretly build layers of barrier forms of hundreds of laws two centimeters above the fragment of Ice Source.
These layers of law barrier only affected the Ice Source but did not affect Yue Ying in the slightest.
"Shuuaa!"
Immediately after, under the gazes of Ye Xiao and the others, the fragment of Ice Source entered Yue Ying's body the next instant. Yue Ying's body suddenly shook, and powerful cold energy spread out from her body in a visible way. The ice that was already frozen was once again covered with a layer of frost. Her beautiful black hair seemed to have snowflakes condensing. It looked as if she had been frozen.
"Boom!"
At the same time, A majestic icy aura spread out from her body and swept over everywhere. Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, layers of ice started forming on Yue Ying's body. A few minutes later, an ice cocoon appeared, and inside this ice cocoon was Yue Ying.
As the ice cocoon appeared, the world regained its peace. Even someone as strong as Ye Xiao was unable to see through the ice cocoon and sense the situation inside it.
He could not help but use the Eyes of Insight to see if he could see anything or not. He did not expect anything from the Eyes of Insight this time because what he was trying to see through was not something of Heavens, but something that came from beyond the Heavens.
However, surprisingly, the Eyes of Insight still worked very well. He was able to immediately see through the ice cocoon. Not only that, but he could also see how the ice cocoon was working. It was as if the ice cocoon was there not only to protect Yue Ying from outside forces, but also to nourish her blood, body, bones, energy, and even soul.
The icy energy was flowing on a definite but very complex route, improving Yue Ying's attributes and quality in every way, to the extent that even her cultivation slowly started increasing.
Ye Xiao guarded Yue Ying for a long time and kept observing everything that she was going through. After two hours, he sensed something incredible and closed his eyes before opening them again. This time, his green returned to normal.
After that, Ye Xiao asked Xue Xiaofei and the others to take turns protecting her. One of them would protect her while the rest would break the ice sculpture to gain experience.
As for Ye Xiao, he sat down cross-legged not far away and closed his eyes. Then he slowly started circulating his True Essence in the same complex but the definite pattern as the icy energy was flowing inside Yue Ying's body.
Then he slowly started comprehending and creating a cultivation technique as well as martial arts skills based on these circulation paths. He believed that he could create these two things and they will definitely become a treasure that even Ancient Gods would fight for. He was sure of it because, previously, when he tried to circulate the True Essence in the same way with the help of Eyes of Insight, he sensed an incredible, overbearing, and freezing aura that felt out of the world.
Ye Xiao was well aware of what he was doing.
Furthermore, the more he circulated the True Essence in the same pattern, the more he felt as if a new kind of energy that has icy attributes appearing inside his body, and this new kind of energy actually started affecting his body, blood, bones, and even soul in the same way as it was doing to Yue Ying.
And just like that, a few hours later, an ice cocoon appeared that swallowed his body as well.
