第两千零四十七章 天地灵物

"Met Lady Qiao Yun."

Although there were a few ancient demons nearby whose cultivation levels surpassed this young lady, none of them showed any disrespect. They bowed slightly in reverence.

"Friends, no need for such formalities," the young lady said as she raised her hand and opened her lips to speak. A peculiar light flashed in her eyes. While not an absolute beauty, there was something unique about her appearance.

However, at this moment, none of them paid attention to that. Today was the day when the fragment soul of Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign descended. Every ancient demon present had a look of fervor in their eyes.

The young lady stopped several yards away from the altar. Only then did she realize that she was barefoot and wore anklets with bell-like decorations, but there was no sound as she walked. Clearly, these were not for decoration but magical artifacts, though their specific functions remained unknown at present.

"How is the battle progressing?"

"Report to Lady Qiao Yun, the stone demon has led our holy sect's thousands of disciples to intercept the demons and cultivators in the Heavenly Essence Mountains. Our forces are ten times greater than theirs. However, the intelligence reports were correct; there is indeed an old monster of Profound玄 Yin period in charge, with a large number of reinforcements behind them. For now, we can suppress them, but if this continues for too long, our defenses may still be breached," said a black-dressed demon, his face filled with respect.

Hearing this, the young lady, dressed like a servant, casually ran her fingers through her hair: "For now, suppressing them is enough. As long as my sister's fragment soul descends into this world, those Profound玄 Yin period cultivators are just fleeting clouds..."

"Have all the sacrifices been prepared?"

"We will not disappoint you, Lady Qiao Yun. Witnessing the descent of Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign is a once-in-ten-lifetimes blessing for us; how could we be negligent? All the items you asked for have been gathered here."

The ancient demon reached into his waistband and produced a storage bag, which was enveloped in black light and landed gently in the young lady's palm.

She examined it without hesitation, sinking her spirit awareness inside. After a moment, she raised her face with satisfaction: "Excellent, all the necessary items are gathered. If these materials were common in the Holy Realm, they wouldn't be remarkable, but here on this lower plane, they are truly precious. Everyone has done well; I will inform my sister of this."

"Thank you, Lady Qiao Yun," the ancient demons said with joy. To gain favor from Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign would bring countless benefits.

"By the way, Qiao Yun Sister, is the physical form for when our Lady descends prepared?"

The question came from a demon with green skin and sharp teeth, known for his excessive talk and unnecessary inquiries.

"It's naturally ready."

A look of displeasure flashed across her face, but she still replied: "You will see it soon. For now, let's not discuss this. Everyone, finish setting up the altar's array first; I don't need to guide you."

She shook the storage bag in her palm, and black spiritual light flickered. The sound of various materials clattering filled her ears—top-grade crystal stones, seeds of three-leaf flowers, lightning crystals...

A variety of items were present, all of which would be hard to come by in the mortal world.

"Yes!"

The other ancient demons did not hesitate; they picked up these treasures and began setting them up on the altar's top.

In a short while, half an hour passed. A mysterious array appeared at the center of the altar.

This array was primarily black, vastly different from ordinary human-world arrays. It was adorned with countless intricate magical runes, but their effects were unknown.

The young lady scanned the array with satisfaction, then raised her hands and drew mystical trajectories in mid-air. Spell seals appeared one after another before her eyes.

"Quickly!"

Her jade hand extended forward, lightly tapping. The spell seals grew as they danced through the wind, merging into the array.

"Woo!"

Immediately, a clear sound echoed, and the entire array began to operate. Black light flowed continuously, appearing extremely mysterious.

The young lady swayed her slender waist, rising slowly from above to survey the altar.

She then opened her left hand, revealing a coffin in her palm.

Indeed, it was a coffin, but surprisingly small, barely half a foot long, seemingly made of dark jade, completely black with a faint glow like that of underworld gems.

With both hands, she grasped and chanted incantations as magical runes enveloped the coffin, slowly flying towards the center of the altar.

In the next few seconds, an unbelievable scene unfolded before their eyes.

As the coffin flew, it strangely grew larger. Initially only half a foot long when taken out, by the time it was embedded in the center of the array, it resembled a real coffin.

Seeing this, the young lady's spell seals condensed even more quickly, then pointed forward with one finger.

"Whoo!"

Demon energy burst forth, and the entire array began to operate. Demon winds appeared out of nowhere, and the lid of the coffin slowly rose.

"What...?"

All the ancient demons widened their eyes as they saw what was inside the coffin.

"Is it possible? This is the physical form Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign has chosen for her descent?"

"Qiao Yun Lady, are you sure about this? We cannot joke about such matters."

Whispers and murmurs filled the air. A dozen ancient demons' faces showed shock.

They had thought that when Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign's fragment soul descended, she would need a human or demon body for possession, with the owner's cultivation level being as high as possible.

However, what was inside the coffin far exceeded their expectations. It wasn't a human or demon woman but a white ginseng root.

Yes, it was a ginseng root, though not ordinary; its height matched that of an adult.

In other words, this ginseng root had at least hundreds of thousands of years of age.

From the perspective of cultivators, a ginseng root wasn't particularly remarkable. However, if it were a ten-thousand-year-old spirit object, it would be invaluable. And such a ginseng root that could grow for hundreds of thousands of years was even more precious, with its spirit intelligence likely already awakened.
