Chapter 269 The Real Test
To be able to sit in the position of a goddess, one must have seen much deceit and treachery.
People subconsciously regard the Ice Goddess, who symbolizes purity and flawlessness, as too sacred, to the point that they dare not associate her with any filth or ugliness in the world.
Yun Qingyi boldly speculated on the Ice Soul Goddess's intentions.
She observed the goddess's palace, where she could vaguely discern wheat-shaped patterns on the dilapidated walls, as well as the chimneys of houses exuding a strong sense of smoke and fire.
There were even pictures of rituals involving killing and sacrifice. Yun Qingyi looked at them one by one and began to make a guess.
She guessed that this test wasn't about how much her behavior resembled the Ice Goddess on the surface.
Everyone thought that the Ice Goddess was aloof and holy, and did not eat any human food.
But perhaps as time goes by, many people have forgotten that the Ice Soul Goddess was once just an ordinary cultivator among the masses.
Naturally, he also experienced all sorts of things in the mortal world.
That tranquility and serenity are not innate, but rather the peace and serenity that comes from inner liberation after experiencing everything.
Her aloofness stemmed from a profound understanding of everything, and gradually evolved into a unique quality that belonged only to her.
Therefore, what the Ice Soul Goddess truly wanted to test, what she truly desired as her successor, was someone like her who could see through right and wrong and remain indifferent.
That person could be proud, domineering, or even unscrupulous, because the cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world, and she didn't care what that person was like before.
What she cares about is whether that person, after experiencing everything, can still maintain a heart untainted by the world.
That heart is Ice Soul.
Just as Yun Qingyi had figured out the answer, Yun Yu'er seemed to have also gained some insight. She knelt devoutly before the prayer mat and expressed her thoughts.
Soon, icy blue light floated around them, and the two bright eyes on the statue shone brightly.
The three people present couldn't help but close their eyes. When they opened them again, the statue of the Ice Goddess had disappeared, replaced by a beautiful and holy woman with a cold aura.
Her attire was exactly the same as the previous Ice Goddess statue.
Upon seeing this, Ou Ruo immediately knelt on the prayer mat just like Yun Yu'er.
The woman exuded a cool aura, her eyes were calm and undisturbed, and an icy blue light swirled around her. She glanced indifferently at the two people kneeling on the ground.
In an instant, Yun Yu'er and Ou Ruo felt as insignificant as dust, with everything controlled by the woman before them. They dared not move, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Upon seeing this, Yun Qingyi took a few steps back, but then felt that her movements were somewhat unnecessary.
Clearly, the woman before them was the legendary Ice Soul Goddess.
She was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, while the other party was a genuine goddess.
The moment she landed here, every blade of grass and every tree in this palace must have been under her control.
including herself.
But the Ice Goddess didn't look at her; instead, she carefully observed Ou Ruo and Yun Yu'er.
She first looked at Ou Ruo, and after a while she looked at Yun Yu'er.
Compared to Ou Ruo, she gazed at Yun Yu'er for a longer time. After about an incense stick's time, she spoke softly, "What are your names?"
Like her, her voice carried an irresistible chill.
Fortunately, both of them had ice spiritual roots, so this cold was nothing to fear for them; on the contrary, it helped them in their cultivation.
