The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

In the far north, snow and ice are constant, and the changing seasons do not melt the ice and snow at all.

In this desolate place, extremely cold spiritual energy constantly rushes towards a central point.

The power, like a blizzard, repeatedly washed over and expanded Lin Du's meridians. She finally broke through the Snow Spirit's devouring power, no longer being pulled by the spirits of heaven and earth, and successfully refined the Snow Essence Pill.

Lin Du was focused on absorbing and understanding Xue Ling's talent, and had no time to care about anything else.

Chu Guanmeng went in and out of the Cold Moon Secret Realm, eating everything she could find. She was quite familiar with this desolate and cold atmosphere.

But for some reason, it seems a little uncomfortable now.

Humans took her out, then abandoned her for six years, going into seclusion instead of taking her out to grind her teeth. Is that reasonable?

This is unreasonable!

Han Yueling was very angry, so she flattened herself into a rabbit pancake and blended perfectly into the ice and snow.

How about we go out and eat a snow wolf alive? There are so many big ones out there, we can challenge its limits of devouring.

Just as Han Yueling was contemplating whether to go hunting, a muffled clap of thunder sounded overhead, startling the rabbit so much that it curled up into a ball.

Why won't the Heavenly Dao outside allow Han Yueling to eat anything?

But it soon realized something was wrong.

Lin Du opened his eyes, cleaved the array he had set up with one hand, and picked up Han Yueling with the other and threw her into the Han Yue Secret Realm. "I'm about to advance, let's go in and hide for a bit."

"Huh? Eh!! No!!!" Chu Guanmeng was thrown into the secret realm before she could finish shouting.

Dark clouds had filled the sky overhead, and muffled thunder rumbled faintly.

Lin Du suddenly noticed that his robe was much shorter and had several holes in it. He pondered for a while.

The rabbit was so hungry it started eating its clothes?

Is this thing edible?

The lightning bolts descended straight down, piercing the gloomy far north and illuminating the entire land.

Within the dantian, the golden core had already transformed into a small doll radiating a cold blue snowy light, like a tiny snowman, rolled up inside, round and full by the abundant ice and snow power.

Lin Du raised his hand and unleashed a blizzard, a natural ability of Xue Ling.

The blizzard collided with the Xuan Lei, greatly reducing the destructive power of most of the Xuan Lei, making it almost like a tickle when it hit Lin Du.

Or rather, having endured so much excruciating pain, Lin Du's pain threshold has been raised.

Lin Du grinned, feeling the continuous vitality flowing through his heart meridian, "Again!"

The lightning bolt struck down, this time against a towering iceberg. The thick lightning bolt crashed into the iceberg, crackling and scattering many tiny sparks of electricity. Finally, it crushed the iceberg completely, leaving only the pure lightning power at the very end, which poured into Lin Du's body.

"No way," Lin Du muttered to himself.

Lin Du handled the entire Nine-Thunder Tribulation with remarkable ease.

It wasn't until the second nine-day lightning tribulation that Lin Du began to struggle a little, as more and more lightning power poured into her body, tempering her physical form.

Lin Du remained standing, gritting his teeth and enduring the stinging pain of tempering, looking up at the gathering tribulation clouds. The tribulation clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the dangerous aura made all creatures within a radius of dozens of miles tremble. The lightning tribulation, carrying the intent of destruction, crashed down.

For those who are unfettered yet possess the power of the spirit of heaven and earth, the Way of Heaven will bestow even more severe tests and punishments.

"Go ahead and put in more effort! It's not as hard as when I broke through the rules of heaven and earth!" Lin Du endured the destructive lightning tribulation, his whole body numb and his skin torn open.

The destructive power within the nineteenth bolt of profound lightning was much stronger than before.

Lin Du remained standing, gritting his teeth, and did not fall.

When a person has been knocked down for too long, they will desperately try to stand up when they can.

The twentieth... the twenty-first... the twenty-fifth... the twenty-sixth.

The twenty-sixth lightning tribulation crashed down, like a small mountain descending from the sky, carrying the force to crush the ants of the world.

The azure figure finally collapsed, unable to withstand the strain. The lightning power within its heart raged wildly, as if trying to tear open the shattered wounds. However, the deep-sea spirit enveloping it continuously supplied vitality and power, and the heart continued to beat, striving to guide and expel these turbulent currents.

This lightning tribulation was unprecedentedly powerful, leaving Lin Du somewhat dazed.

Wei Zhi stood on the snow-capped mountain not far away, his chains removed, gazing thoughtfully at the seemingly endless lightning tribulation.

It seems that obtaining such primal power comes at a great cost.

Lin Du... He has endured six years and survived the life-or-death ordeal. Can he survive this tribulation of lightning?

The twenty-sixth lightning tribulation finally ended. Lin Du took a moment to stuff a few pills into his mouth, moved his fingers, and looked at the final lightning tribulation that descended without giving him any chance to catch his breath.

This tribulation of lightning is firstly destructive, and secondly reborn.

Lin Du must survive destruction in order to be reborn.

She circulated her spiritual power again and again, crushing and dissolving the power of the lightning tribulation.

Until... the arrival of new forces.

She finally broke through the abyss, transforming from a faint glimmer into a surging, bright light; the moon broke through the horizon, and the shifting sands resembled gold.

The lightning tribulation finally dissipated, and the spiritual rain, which contained nourishing and restorative power, turned into a heavy snowfall before it could even fall.

However, these factors do not prevent it from exerting its inherent power.

The beasts that had been afraid before now raised their heads and opened their mouths to welcome the falling snow. They even forcibly suppressed their instinct to shake the snow off their fur, letting a layer of light snow grow on their bodies.

Lin Du also let the snow bury him, slowly healing himself, fading his scars, and becoming a brand new version of himself.

The fourth phase, the Radiant Sun Realm, has been completed.

She stood quietly in the snow, sensing the new memory that had appeared in her consciousness.

Memories of Xue Ling.

Her condition seemed a bit strange at the time; it wasn't a true physical state.

She is... a "paper doll" sitting on someone's shoulder.

A soul that shouldn't still be in the Realm of Insight, residing in a spirit talisman.

She was very familiar with that person. Even though she could only see the back of his neck, she could recognize that the strange crimson demonic markings belonged to Wei Zhi.

"Lin Du" swayed his light feet and said, "Can you put me down? You can use the Companion Stone to suppress your backlash, and I'll take my Snow Essence Pill. We'll join forces to kill Snow Spirit, and each of us can take one thing. It's very fair."

"Wait a minute. Why don't you believe in my strength? The physical body you painstakingly cultivated in the Soul-Nourishing Wood was shattered when you went to retrieve something from the deep sea last time. Now you can't even condense a body. Don't be arrogant."

Wei Zhi's voice was helpless, "Besides, if you continue to use your ghostly power like this, and the remaining members of your sect find out, they will definitely want to send you to your next life. Be more restrained. The puppet that Granny Ma made for you is almost ready."

In the end, it was Lin Du who sensed the undigested ghost's will to die within Xue Ling's body, drew upon the ghost's power, and delivered a fatal blow from within, taking the Snow Essence Pill.

"This companion stone is not as good as Han Yueling's companion stone, which can reverse hot and cold. If you feel cold, just warm yourself up. It's not hard to start a fire anyway." Lin Du floated back into the spirit talisman paper figure that Wei Zhixin had just made. The Snow Essence Pill was also put into a spatial storage magic artifact connected to the soul body. "Once everything is almost ready, the plan will finally start... I won't bother you anymore."

The spirit Lin Du added, "It will also complete our deal and save your only blood relative in the world."

"Lin Du, you still have a chance to be reincarnated. If you go any further, there will be no turning back. Really, aren't you afraid of failure?" Wei Zhi's voice was buried in the wind and snow.

"I carry the hopes of many people, so I cannot fail. Wei Zhi, don't forget, we are accomplices in going against the will of Heaven." Lin Du's voice was calm and firm, like a layer of ice that had been pressed for many years, hard and not easily broken.

As the fragments of memory in her consciousness slowly dissipated, Lin Du suddenly came to her senses. This was... when her consciousness resisted Xue Ling earlier, she had a slight fusion with her spirit.

I just didn't have time to pay attention back then, and it's only now, when I'm letting my mind wander, that I think about it.

It turns out that in her past life, Wei Zhi was her accomplice.

Fate took a turn, and they started over again. They were still making a deal, but a more perfect one.

"How much longer are you going to stay buried in the snow?" Wei Zhi's voice came from above, through the ice and snow.

Lin Du suddenly stood up and met a pair of amber eyes that had returned to normal.

Wei Zhi stood in the snow, and because he was slightly bent over, the moon spirit stone hanging around his neck fell out of his collar and swayed slightly.

Lin Du raised his hand and brushed his disheveled hair aside. "Anyway, it won't last longer than it has for you, Master."

Wei Zhi sighed helplessly, "I've already sent a message to your senior uncle Lin Tuan. She said that the demons have been causing some trouble at the border recently, the sect is short-handed, and they can't persuade Yan Ye, that big shot, to come back quickly."

Lin Du lazily got up and used her power to turn her white hair black inch by inch, with only a stubborn strand of white hair representing that she had merged with the snow spirit and refused to turn black no matter what.

"I understand, I understand, I'll go back and pay my respects to the Buddha now."
