Episode 67 – The Frozen Star Saintess Afiya Xue.
Recap
After the Battle of Blackstone Pass, the demonic army retreated. Faizi Tian became a hero in the eyes of countless cultivators. Yet the Demon Lord's final words continued to echo in his mind.
"The chosen human has finally appeared."
Unknown to Faizi Tian, far beyond the oceans and beyond the known continents, another pair of eyes had already begun watching his destiny.
---
Far beyond the Southern Continent...
Beyond endless seas and ancient storms...
Lay the legendary Celestial Continent.
A land spoken of only in myths.
At the center of this continent stood a palace of eternal ice.
Millions of snowflakes drifted through the heavens.
Ancient formations covered the sky.
This was the sacred territory of the Celestial Xue Clan.
One of the oldest royal cultivation clans in existence.
Inside the palace gardens, countless ice crystals sparkled beneath the moonlight.
A young woman stood alone beside a frozen lake.
Her silver hair flowed gently in the wind.
Her white robes carried the elegance of a heavenly saintess.
The surrounding snow seemed to move according to her will.
Wherever she walked, frost flowers bloomed.
She was Afiya Xue.
The Saintess of the Celestial Xue Clan.
The most talented genius born within the clan in thousands of years.
At that moment, an elderly woman appeared behind her.
"Saintess."
Afiya slowly opened her eyes.
The elder respectfully bowed.
"The clan elders have completed the observation."
Afiya remained silent.
The elder continued.
"The strange destiny star has appeared again."
For the first time, a slight change appeared in Afiya's expression.
"Where?"
The elder raised her hand.
A crystal image appeared in the air.
Within the image stood a young man holding a sword.
Black robes.
Determined eyes.
A battlefield behind him.
Faizi Tian.
Afiya quietly looked at the image.
For a brief moment, the Celestial Ice Phoenix Bloodline inside her body reacted.
A faint phoenix cry echoed through the frozen palace.
The elder's face changed instantly.
"The bloodline reacted?"
Even she could hardly believe it.
The Celestial Ice Phoenix Bloodline had never responded to anyone before.
Afiya stared at the image for several moments.
Then she softly spoke.
"Interesting..."
The image soon disappeared.
The frozen lake became calm once more.
Yet deep within the heavens, destiny had already begun moving.
Far away on another continent, Faizi Tian continued preparing for the coming war.
He had no idea that one of the most powerful saintesses in the world had already noticed his existence.
Nor did he know that the ancient Celestial Xue Clan would one day become deeply connected to his fate.
Above the palace, countless stars shone brightly.
One star burned with golden light.
Another shone with icy silver radiance.
Slowly...
The two stars began moving toward each other.
