"Agreed."

As her voice fell, a woman's silhouette appeared in front of Wang Ye. She was clad in a white garment, her face seemingly veiled with a layer of frost. Yet, behind that frost lay a face carrying a beauty so stunning, it took one's breath away.

Her features were exquisitely refined to the extreme, her figure alluring and graceful, making anyone who glanced at her feel their heart skip a beat.

Even Wang Ye himself couldn't help the urge to draw a sharp intake of breath upon seeing Lei Linger.

He exclaimed in admiration.

If one were to compare purely based on looks, Lei Linger's beauty was on par with Fang Feifei's. However, Lei Linger possessed a unique aura because of her years of cultivation.

It was precisely this unique aura that made Lei Linger even more captivating.

At that moment, the joy in Lei Linger's eyes as she looked at Wang Ye was evident, clearly pleased that he had agreed to join the Ice Sect if he ascended to a higher-order world.

"Next, I shall bestow upon you the inheritance."

Lei Linger's finger gently tapped, and the moment her fingertip touched Wang Ye, he felt engulfed by such intense coldness that his entire being was ensnared.

His body stiffened, unable to control his movements due to the chill as only his consciousness remained active.

He saw his body enveloped in a layer of ice.

Moreover, within his organs, white frost spread throughout, as if an ice and snow world was born inside his body.

Before Wang Ye, the character for "water" appeared.

At the sight of it, Wang Ye was slightly taken aback; he could feel that when this character appeared before him, the water's momentum he could utilize was much stronger than usual.

However, Wang Ye's consciousness was all he had at the moment, so he wasn't sure if this was mere illusion or reality.

Wang Ye etched this change into his mind, planning to test later, given the chance, if it truly could enhance his strength.

As the frost spread within him, altering his internals, beside the "water" character in front of Wang Ye, another droplet materialized.

A droplet formed from the condensed frost.

Another droplet gradually coalesced, and Wang Ye understood that the other party intended to forge an additional momentum on top of his existing water momentum.

Ice Power.

No wonder Mian Xiaoxue had told him that he met the criteria for the inheritance, as his water momentum indeed shared an indivisible connection with Ice Power to a certain extent.

However, Wang Ye felt a shift within him.

Originally, Wang Ye had no concept of the Ice Attribute, yet now he felt an inexplicable kinship with it, as time passed.

It was as though, if he wished to manipulate the Ice Attribute, he could easily do so with success.

Time passed, unmeasured.

Next to Wang Ye's "water" character, two white droplets appeared, signifying that the drops had been frozen into "ice."

This also meant that, at this moment, Wang Ye had directly mastered two abilities.

The first ability was "water momentum."

And another ability, was "Ice Power."

Looking at Lei Linger now, she seemed like an apparition, almost as if her figure could be ignored if not carefully observed, allowing one's gaze to pass through her and see the scene behind her.

With a somewhat weak voice, Lei Linger spoke to Wang Ye:

"I've already altered your physique a bit, now you possess one hundred percent Ice Attribute within you. If you go to the Ice Sect, with your Ice Attribute, you could directly assume the position of Saintess."

"Holy Lord?"

Upon hearing the word "Saintess," Wang Ye instinctually wanted to refute it.

After all, he was a man. What did "Saintess" have to do with anything here?

Even if he truly joined the Ice Sect, shouldn't he be the Saint Heir instead?

That term had nothing to do with the word "Saintess," not even remotely!

Just as Wang Ye was about to object, he saw that Lei Linger was weak and seemed to have something important to say to him.

Thus, Wang Ye held back his words.

He knew that Lei Linger's Remnant Soul didn't have much time left, and he needed to let her focus on important matters rather than waste her time with his objections.

"You must remember the promise between us."

"If possible, I hope that when you encounter Guo Yi..."

Lei Linger paused here, raising her head to look upward, her gaze piercing through the ancient ruins as if seeing into another higher-ranking world. But there, she did not see the dazzling light of connection.

Had Guo Yi been alive, with their relationship, she would have seen that dazzling light.

So... was Guo Yi no longer around?

Lei Linger sighed, her expression a mix of disappointment, as she said to Wang Ye, "Never mind, if possible, I just hope you can properly carry forward the legacy of the Ice Sect."

Having said that,

Lei Linger's already translucent Remnant Soul vanished with incredible speed.

The moment Lei Linger's Remnant Soul disappeared completely, Wang Ye felt a mysterious force penetrate his brain, significantly enhancing his Divine Sense in an instant.

As if controlled by some mysterious power, Wang Ye habitually looked up and through the haze, he saw a certain scene.

It was a mountain, immense and towering, with many strange animals roaming around it, but the strength emanating from each animal instilled a sense of awe in Wang Ye.

After only a glance, Wang Ye felt a significant drain on his strength and promptly looked down, deeply shocked as he realized he could now see things differently.

He remembered the time in the ancient ruins when the Golden-Armored general had also looked up as if he had seen something.

Could it be... that what he saw was the same as what the Golden Armor had seen?

He looked towards where Lei Linger had disappeared, wondering if this new ability of his resulted from her doing.

Lei Linger's Remnant Soul could have lingered a bit longer, but she chose to leave her legacy to him and even transformed the last of her soul's strength into an enhancer to pass on to him.
