The little Taoist was interrogating the female cultivator on the floating ice.
Inside the Nine Provinces Sea Eye.
At the very center.
Amidst the endless filth, a vast water-blue pearl abruptly appeared.
This pearl was crystal clear and gently spun in place. The countless ancient runes carved upon it emitted a powerful and mysterious aura.
However...
At its apex, there was an irregular, light-colored circular "patch" that slightly diminished its character...
Within the pearl.
The Elder Pavilion Master of the White Emperor Pavilion was staring madly at a triangular black Crystal Stone with a missing corner, murmuring incessantly.
"Hehe~ Ah Pin, just wait for me. As soon as I refine this Polluted Crystal, we can be together forever!"
As the Elder Pavilion Master spoke, runes engraved on the water-blue pearl scattered outward, drifting into her body from all directions.
Then the mad woman enveloped the Polluted Crystal in spiritual power.
And swallowed it in one gulp!
