Chapter 3 - Ice Phoenix Sect

Snow covered the landscape descending from the sky to the mountains and flat lands. Any normal human would have become an icy Popsicle here.

These area was located in the snow-capped peaks of Fengtian Mountain. Magically surrounding these mountains is a lake with lush green vegetation all year around. The water in the pool is a like a mirror with white peaks and trees reflected on it. A beautiful sight a wonder of the world. People call it Xuelu.

On the top of a majestic mountain stood a teenage with black hair, wearing white clothes overlooking the white landscape like a ruler viewing his land. He had a handsome face with golden eyes making many mistaking believe that he is a peerless beauty had they looked from afar. However, as you come closer you will find an aura that will destroy your fascinations. His handsome face had a hint of maturity, the sparkle of the eyes hinted wisdom. At the age of fourteen, he possessed a gaze and aura that should belong to a man who is twenty and has seen a fair bit of the world. He was gazing at the picturesque lake and thinking about the sect he lived in. He had mostly been in contact with females and heard from his master that he will soon be leaving the place.

The Ice Phoenix Sect is a famous sect in the surrounding areas. Many females aged ten or above from Cloud City, Windfall City, and Sunrise City venture every three years to Fentian Mountain for a chance to become a outer disciple of the sect. The sect gives these females the opportunity to boast at being better than their peers and look arrogantly at those boys who want to bed them. It serves as a female paradise making many girls who seek to avoid marriage take refuge given they have bodies fit for cultivation of martial arts.

The Ice Phoenix sect used to be more famous 22 years ago being one of the top six righteous sects in the Human Empire. However, many evil sects specialising at dual cultivation turned their eyes on it and a large battle ensued a decline in the prestige of the sect because many elders and even the sect master had fallen. Most of the upper echelon was finished in that battle. At the time the saint of the sect who was held captive in the sect was released.

The saint that should have been a virgin was pregnant and refused to abort the child. The sect knowing the matter had her held in captive and tried to persuade her. However, the battle resulted in such casualties that she was freed and became the temporary sect master while the few remaining elders recuperated. She managed the sect well and it has recovered its youthful vitality though not as prestigious as it was 19 years ago, it still has fame in the Human Empire.

Twelve years ago, she was coming back from a visit to another close female sect master when she saw a baby child lying crying in the forest. Amazingly, no magical creatures were close to the two year old child although it was the middle of the forest. She came close to it remembering her child and her own childhood when she was abandoned. Feeling pity for it she took the child in her arms and amazingly it stopped crying immediately. The sect had prohibited male disciples but although she saw that the child was male she took him to the sect. The elders had a fierce discussion however, she strongly insisted on raising the child finally relenting on keeping him till he was fourteen years old and was fit to survive in a world filled with danger.

He soon spotted a beautiful girl with snow white hair and blue eyes running over here. Not even the simple snow white clothes could conceal the fine curves of her extremely beautiful body. Her slender figure was just like a jade sculpture crafted by the Almighty. She was at the ripe age of eighteen. A nation toppling beauty or a snow goddess will be her name had they seen her in plain sight. The girl was excited with expressions between happy, sad and anger shown in her face.

"Junior Brother what are you doing here" The snow beauty exclaimed in a charming voice.

"Senior Sister I am looking at the lake again, you know I will be leaving the sect soon. I always feel tranquility when I see it from afar. Although it is the forbidden grounds I always feel like I should go there" Li Tian softly sighed.

"Hmph! Who said you were leaving? I will not let you go. I will not eat until mother promises me that you will not leave." The snow girl angrily puffed her cheeks making an extremely funny sight.

"Senior Sister the way you get angry is adorable." Li Tian laughed. "You know that master is also under pressure from the elders. A sect master cannot decide everything based on his or her whims they need to consider the traditions and welfare of the sect. They have already compromised letting me stay here for all these years. I am eternally grateful to the sect. Although I have to leave now, I will come back when I miss you all or any time the sect faces danger. "

"What are you saying? Did you not tell me you will marry me when you grow up? Are you leaving me to find another girl? I heard Feng Yu say that man will change woman like changing clothes. Did you find yourself another woman when you had went to deliver the herbs?" The snow girl angrily said with crystal clear tears forming in her eyes.

The boy was in a daze for a moment remembering the red haired girl Meng Huo for a while but he quickly snapped out of it when he saw the freezing temperature slowly rising up. He looked at the snow white beauty beside him and hurriedly said " What are you saying senior sister? Which girl are you mentioning senior sister? Come let us go over to sect master. I will explain everything over there."
