Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Just 3 months before the Secret Realm will expel all of the participants due to the time limit, Mira finally felt something happening during her meditation. She couldn't help but reveal a slight smile as she's had about enough of trying to comprehend Yin Fire.

Her body soon started to feel weird and she started to feel a change in her soul as well. She felt all of her comprehension in the Fire Element start to increase at a surprising rate and at the same time, it started to mutate.

Her Physique seemed to understand that Mira had someone comprehended the Fire Element, but her Physique won't allow her to utilize this kind of fire and it started to mutate in what Mira perceived Yin Fire to be.

This is why it took Mira so long just to reach the entry-level barrier of comprehension. It's because not only did she need to comprehend the Fire Element, but she needed to understand what Yin Fire is or at the very least what she perceived it to be.

Mira's perception of what Yin Fire should be is similar to that of a corrosive poison fog in the shape of a flame. Its properties are corrosive and will dissolve everything it touches similar to how Fire turns things into ash, but because its properties have switched from Yang to Yin it'll contain a burning type of chill. If her Yin Fire comprehension increases, Mira should even be able to freeze people into something like an oobleck-type substance except it'll have the opposite properties of oobleck. If she used it on a person and they stopped moving then they'll start freezing up and eventually become an ice sculpture, but if they move they'll start turning into a jelly-like substance and their bodies will start to corrode.

Sounds overpowered, right? That's what Mira thought as well, but there are some rather harsh limitations and the main one is how slow acting it is. She can't just toss her pitiful Yin Fire at someone and they can only accept death. No, she'll have to continuously provide her Qi and mental power into her Yin Fire if she wants to continue using it. Right now, with her comprehension, she'd need to spend at least 10 minutes pumping Yin Fire into someone of her strength in order for it to start taking effect and that's if they don't deal with it beforehand.

So despite its overwhelming power, its usage, consumption, and effectiveness with her comprehension, make using it in battle essentially useless to her right now.

Not that it really matters to her anyway. Her main element will always be ice and her main weapon will always be the scythe. It's also much easier for her to comprehend the ice element versus any other element, especially fire. She can control magma and lightning to an extent mainly because her body has been completely destroyed and rebuilt by these two elements giving her a unique constitution and mutating her Physique. But Mira's comprehension of those two elements is even less than her Yin Fire.

Mira put these matters aside as she felt her connection with the Yin Fire Element deepen and start to affect her body. Similar to how she gained the Lightning and Magma Elements, she felt her Yin Fire try to strengthen her body in order to accommodate it, but it was simply too weak to do much of anything against her Magma Dragon body.

So although her body was tempered slightly, the results are negligible, but now she can freely use her Yin Fire!

Mira didn't wait any longer and summoned an ice blue flame that held a black ember in the center of it.

'That's weird.'

Mira thought as she didn't expect the colors to be like that. She was assuming it'd be fully black considering the properties of it, but after thinking about it a bit more she understood that it was simply too weak.

It'd probably turn completely black once she fully comprehends the element, but she's barely at the beginning.

"Congratulations, Mira! Looking at this fire, I'm now 95% sure that it's exactly what I've been looking for. Now all that's left is for me to use the help of this flame to undergo nirvana, enter your Soul Sea in my egg form, and have you nurture my egg with your Yin Fire and Ice elements! Haha! Finally! I can finally advance further in my cultivation and go back to my family!"

Elenei couldn't help but shout in happiness. She's spent her entire life searching for a method to advance so she can finally reunite with her family, but it was simply impossible. Now, a semblance of hope has presented itself that'll finally allow her to achieve her dream of becoming an Immortal Phoenix and reuniting with her family!

"Calm down there. There are still 3 months left until we are kicked out of this Secret Realm and you promised to be my mount until then. Not only that, but you still haven't fulfilled your condition of making us Core Formation Realm experts. So for the next 3 months, you are going to make yourself useful before you go into an egg for who knows how long!"

Mira's chilling voice woke Elenei up out of her thoughts and practically dumped a bucket of ice water onto her.

After remembering back to the deal she and Mira made, she can remember agreeing to be her mount until the end of the Secret Realm and to make Mira and her companions Core Formation Experts.

She completely forgot about these conditions! She's basically been doing nothing ever since she started traveling with Mira.

Celaine is off training, Maria has been sitting in the same Light Pillar for almost a year now, and Mira has been trying to comprehend Yin Fire ever since they made a deal with each other.

That's when she remembered that she hasn't told Mira about what she knows about the Core Formation Realm for humans. She's already told both Maria and Celaine, but Mira has been too busy and she didn't want to disturb her.

"Fine! But I want to undergo Nirvana as soon I can after exiting this Secret Realm. Also, there is something I need to tell you about the Core Formation Realm."

Elenei then proceeded to explain what she knows about how there are various tiers of cores that can be formed and that the Core someone forms can affect their talent and strength. So essentially, if Mira doesn't form a good enough Core, she'll likely never be able to ascend!

Mira was a bit surprised to hear this, but it wasn't a total shocker to her. She thought there might be something like this, but she had the same thought as Maria on this matter. She felt like it was dependent on one's Foundation and the amount of Qi that's used to form one's Core.

Well, this is fine too as having near-unlimited options allows her plenty of freedom to create a core that suits her perfectly.

Mira decided to put these matters to the back of her mind and focus on the present. She stared intensely and Elenei with a greedy expression on her face.

"It's time to go looting."
