Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Celaine looked over and saw a pale-faced Asami staring at her in shock and horror.

"...What are you screaming about?"

Asami stared at Celaine in disbelief when she heard her nonchalant answer.

"You… Do you really not know the significance of what just happened?! Let's forget how you pulled out a bunch of extremely rare items. Just the fact that you formed a Core using her Saber Intent is already enough to shake the Cultivation World!"

Celaine wasn't sure how to answer that. The truth was she really had no idea how amazing the Core Formation Recipe she received was. She's only interacted with a few Core Formation Realm experts, and those people were relatively weak and ignorant compared to those closer to the Central Continent.

How could she possibly know how strong and talented the real geniuses of this world are? How would she know how strong she is in relation to those geniuses?

She's spent most of her time around Mira, who has always been pushing her yet is still able to suppress her. To her, no matter how much stronger she gets, she still feels weak in front of Mira.

Under such circumstances, it's no wonder Celaine never thought she was talented or special, therefore not thinking about how strong she is compared to others at her cultivation base.

Not only that, but most of the enemies she's faced over the years have had higher cultivation than her. She's already surpassed the point where people in the same cultivation realm as her provide any sort of challenge.

However, it's only now, after Asami started yelling at how amazing her Core Formation Breakthrough was, that she realized she might be more amazing than she thought.

"I don't know what you're trying to say, Asami. You saw for yourself that replicating this Core Formation Recipe is nearly impossible. Actually, even if you could replicate it, you wouldn't be able to use it. I guess you could say this Core Formation Recipe was made specifically for me."

Asami naturally understood what Celaine was saying because even she didn't understand what was going on! All she knew was that something amazing happened whenever Celaine's mouth moved, but she couldn't understand what Celaine was saying despite that. So, even if she somehow gathered all the ingredients and comprehended Saber Intent, it would be useless to her.

Though, that's not exactly what Celaine meant by that…

You also needed the Wind Saber Cultivation Technique to be able to make full use of the Core. If you didn't have it, then most of the benefits that came with the Core would become useless, but Celaine wasn't going to clear up Asami's misunderstanding.

"I understand… It's just I've never seen anything like your breakthrough. To be honest, it makes mine seem a little insignificant…"

Celaine narrowed her eyes and began thoroughly examining Asami. She felt what Asami said was bull shit. Insignificant? No, definitely not. Even though Asami is still weakened, Celaine can feel the overwhelming strength inside her body. It was to the point where even after breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, she still felt threatened by her. Of course, she'd most likely win in the end, but she still must commend Asami on her strength.

Maybe if she went through the sort of hell Mira put her through every day, the two of them would be able to fight on equal footing…

Thinking this far, her gaze sharpened. She didn't know what this girl's background was, but she felt it was a shame for such a talent not to bloom.

"Hey, what are you going to do after you heal?" Celaine asked.

"Huh? Ummm… I-I'm not quite sure yet. I want to get revenge on those who tried to kill me, but I don't think I'll be able to accomplish that feat any time soon…" Asami hung her head down and said sadly.

"Ah! Then, have you ever thought about joining a Sect? At least until you gain enough strength for your revenge?"

A look of disdain appeared in Asami's eyes when she heard the word 'Sect', but she didn't say anything immediately.

While it's true that she looked down on the Sects, it's also true that she has nowhere else to go.

"No, I've never thought of such a thing."

Celaine noticed the disdain in Asami's eyes but didn't comment on it. She figured that Asami's identity wasn't simple, but what did that matter? Right now, she was just a…

"Then why don't you come with me to join the Battle Maiden Sect's Main Branch? I mean, it's better than nothing, right? Just look at you! Even beggars are richer than you! No spatial ring! No money! Torn-up clothes! Not even a weapon! At least in a Sect, you'll have a place to live and a continuous stream of resources. You can also meet up with my friends. I'm sure you'll like… Ah, no, you probably won't like them at first. But I think you'd be able to fit right in. So, what do you think?"

Asami's lip twitched nonstop when she heard what Celaine said. Although she wasn't wrong, why did she have to say it like that?!

Worst of all, she couldn't retort any of it! Everything she said was the truth!

However, what she said also gave her something to think about. She currently has nothing but her cultivation, but even that is barely enough to survive in this world. Trying to raise her strength on her own sounds nice and all, but who knows how long it'll take to raise her strength doing that? Also, should the people that tried to kill her ever find out she's still alive, then they'll definitely come after her again. And next time, she most likely won't be so lucky…

Joining a Sect in such a situation might not be a bad thing. She'll have a relatively safe place to grow, and as long as she stays relatively low profile, nobody should be able to figure out her identity.

"Alright. I guess I'll accompany you and join the Battle Maiden Sect." Asami said with a hint of reluctance.

"Good. I was afraid I'd have to beat some sense into you, but it seems like you're not as stupid as I thought. Congratulations." Celaine said with some surprise.

Asami's lips twitched uncontrollably, and veins popped on her forehead.

"Dammit!! You've been saying whatever the hell you want for a while now, but I won't stand for it anymore! When I'm fully healed, be prepared for a good beating!" Asami lashed out, causing Celaine to smirk.

"Hehe~ I'm looking forward to it."

Celaine chuckled and went back to inspecting her body.
