Chapter 938 - Heavenly Ice Law
Lynne has heard stories and received portions of the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress's memories. Only a Celestial Spark or object of a higher level could create such special domains in the world.
Besides a Celestial Ice Spark, Lynne could not guess what else could have created such a peculiar ice mountain and vast frozen landscape.
'That's right, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress confirmed Lynne's guess.
'It is indeed a Celestial Ice Spark that caused the transformation of this land as you see it. Furthermore, it's not a particularly low-quality Celestial Ice Spark either. If you can refine it, you will step into the Celestial Realm directly and gain at least ten thousand years of lifespan, child.'
The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress wasn't sure what the strong ice power was in the depths of Extreme Misty Forest. But now that they were on top of the ice mountain, she was completely certain of it.
"I will ascend to the Celestial Realm directly, Master? Refining the Celestial Ice Spark will let me skip the entire Paragon stage?" Lynne uttered with surprise.
'Of course,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress affirmed.
'Celestial Sparks are the cultivation of Celestials' cultivations. Thus, refining one of their Celestial Sparks is the same as refining their cultivation to reach the same level.'
Lynne became even more astonished after hearing the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress explain the details.
Celestials were beings that could refine the endless celestial energy of the universe; it was the first true shedding of mortality.
As such, she would no longer be tied down by the world. She would be free to travel among the stars in the void, which is inhospitable to ordinary life once she ascends the Celestial Realm.
"To think that such an opportunity had been resting under this ice mountain all this time…" Lynne uttered incredulously.
Despite how close the Celestial Ice Spark was to the Crawford Empire, it wasn't a place anyone could come.
Nevertheless, Lynne could not help but frown.
While the prospect of becoming a Celestial is very tempting, she didn't believe reaching the Celestial Realm so easily would come without an appropriate price to be paid.
"Wouldn't there be any adverse side effects or consequences to refining the Celestial Ice Spark, Master?" Lynne inquired carefully.
The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress felt joy after hearing Lynne's question.
It shows that her disciple was prudent and not blinded by greed that she would ignore any hidden dangers in the Celestial Ice Spark.
'You're right, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress admitted.
'The Celestial Ice Spark is the cumulation of an Ice Celestial's cultivation. However, everyone has different ideas and comprehensions towards the law. Thus, when you refine the Celestial Ice Spark, you are also gain this Ice Celestial's unique comprehension of the Ice Law.'
'Generally, when this happens, it would cripple your future potential. This means preventing you from ever surpassing the cultivation level of the Ice Celestial attained in that person's lifetime.'
"Why is that the case, Master?" Lynne asked with a startled look.
'Because your mind would be attuned to the Ice Celestial's unique insight on the Ice Law when you completely refined the Celestial Ice Spark,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress explained.
However, Lynne didn't see a problem with that.
"What's wrong with that?" Lynne asked curiously.
'You don't understand, child?' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress asked before patiently explaining shortly after.
'Even if your comprehension of the Ice Law is attuned to the Ice Celestial's unique insight on it, you are not the Ice Celestial. You may understand how the Ice Celestial think on the Ice Law up until his level. However, anything beyond that becomes unknown to you.'
'And because you don't understand how the Ice Celestial will comprehend the Ice Law beyond that, you cannot deepen your comprehension and advance your cultivation beyond the Ice Celestial's level,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
After listening up until that point, Lynne finally gained a complete understanding of the side effects involved with Celestial Sparks.
However, despite learning the side effects, she didn't show any particular concern. Naturally, this aroused the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress's curiosity.
'Are you not concerned in the least about your limited future once you refine the Celestial Ice Spark, child?'
"Of course not. I believe Master has a solution around this problem," Lynne replied confidently with a cheeky smile.
'You rascal…'
"Hehe!"
The Divine Ice Phoenix Empress felt flattered by her disciple's trust. But, at the same time, the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress also became more fond of her new disciple.
'You're right, child. Other people's future potential would be crippled once they refine the Celestial Ice Spark. However, you have Master, a True Divinity in the Ice Law.'
'When you refine the Celestial Ice Spark, Master will help you absorb its icy power. We will keep all of the Ice Celestial's comprehension conforming with the Heavenly Ice Law. But any insight that has Ice Celestial's unique interpretation on the Heavenly Ice Law, I will throw away.'
'Although this also means that you won't reach the same height as the Ice Celestial after refining his Celestial Ice Spark. But at the very least, you will keep your potential of reaching and even surpassing it in the future,' the Divine Ice Phoenix stated.
"I see. However, isn't this Heavenly Ice Law just your own interpretation and comprehension on the Ice Law, Master?" Lynne asked shortly after. Then, she added, "And by following that thought, my potential will still be limited. Except the bar has been changed to the True Divinity Realm instead."
'That's right, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress acknowledged.
'I'm glad you understand clearly. However, even if your potential for the Heavenly Ice Law is at the True Divinity level, it's unlikely that you will ever reach the True Divinity Realm.'
"You don't believe in me, Master?" Lynne furrowed her brows.
'It's not about whether I believe in you or not, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress denied her doubt.
'If it was possible, Master naturally wishes you to become a True Divinity like Master. However, present Primal Chaos is too devastated by the primordial era's Great War.. As a result, the Heavenly Laws are weakened, and no one can advance to True Divinity anymore.'
