Yuno and the teen had been in their run-down apartment ever since they had been released from the carriage. They both sat in silence as they thought of all the possibilities.
'I can't believe I have the Yin-Jade Spirit!' thought Yuno, as tears left her eyes. To be able to cultivate was the equivalent of having a very promising start-up company. If handled carefully and with diligence, it would become a multi-million dollar powerhouse with influence far-reaching! But if handled with carelessness or if tainted with bad luck, it would be absorbed by others. Being a wasted potential, and forever destined to be mediocre.
Based on the choice made by Yuno following her successful testing, her and the teen's life will forever change.
On the other hand, the teen was sitting there in deep thought.
'I can't believe Yuno has such trash talent! Should I perform the Nine Heavenly Body ritual? Or was it the Immortal Body ritual? FUCK! I don't even remember which is which anymore! If only Kami was here, that damned bastard! First, he took my luck, then he took my Akashic records! I swear to me, I better not find that lucky bitch!'

In a grand kingdom of a distant land, inside a luxurious room, a handsome golden-haired prince could be seen about to open a small treasure chest the size of an adult palm. But before he could open it, he suddenly felt the urge to sneeze.
"AAAACHOOOOOO!"
Hearing the sudden sneeze, a nock was sounded as a maid entered the room.
"Prince Dextera, have you caught a cold? Do you want me to get you some recovery pills?" said the maid worried for the prince. Hearing the maid, Prince Dextera smiled as he shook his head while saying, "Haven't I told you not to worry so much, Camila? Anyways don't worry, and inform the grand oracle of my summons."
The maid bowed as she quickly went out of the room, hurrying over towards the grand oracle informing him of the prince's summons.
Prince Dextera, now alone in the room thought, 'Could someone be talking shit behind my back? But at the same time, I am the prince so it makes sense...'
The prince then proceeded to slowly open the small treasure chest. Once the chest was opened, an ancient bronze bracelet came into view. Its design was simple, but its outside was decorated with nine jewels. To the untrained eye, each jewel seemed simple. But to a cultivator, whose eyes had been tempered with celestial energy, they were all emanating an ancient and godly aura!
The prince held the bracelet in his hand as he smiled.
"This should do well as a greeting gift to master!"
He quickly stored the bracelet into his spatial ring, before suddenly a golden compass appeared in his hands. The pin on the compass quickly spun before it slowed down, pointing to a fixed location.
"As I've guessed, Master is somewhere in the southern regions of the empire... FUCK! I knew I should have put in a map function on the Destiny Compass! Well, I guess the grand oracle will have to do..."

. . .
Both the teen and Yuno were anxious as time was slowly ticking closer and closer t-*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*
The Author's flawless writing was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock. Yuno hearing the knock jolted as she quickly opened it to find three royal knights. The royal knights were obviously sent by the prince and they were tasked with escorting Yuno and the teen towards the best inn in the town of Sandfell.
The inn was three stories high and was constructed from red bricks, having a sharp contrast with the surroundings. It was also protected by a few royal knights, a little less than what a prince was supposed to have.
The three royal knights signaled both Yuno and the teen to enter the building, but as they did, they felt their bodies being invaded by some ghastly force. After confirming their identities the force quickly disappeared as if it had never existed. The two were then led to the first room on the third floor.
The three royal knights quickly made their way back down leaving the teen and Yuno alone in front of the room. Before they could catch their breath, the door opened. But what they saw was far from what they were expecting.
As the two entered, the inside of a large mansion could be seen. The walls were engraved with various magical beasts, the room was brightly lit stimulating a warm atmosphere. In the middle of the massive room, there was a dining table where the prince and the red-haired man were seated, discussing something important, something important was cut short by the arrival of the two.
"Great you're here! Let's quickly go on and do the testing shall we?" said the red-haired man in a joyous tone. Yuno quickly nodded, prompting everyone to exit the grand dining hall to the outer courtyard... Yeah, the magical mansion also had a courtyard! Oh, how the rich enjoy life...
In the courtyard, there were five massive ice-blue crystal pillars arranged in a pentagram. Under each of them was a magical array, which was on top of another much grander, much more complex array.
"Enter the array and begin cultivating, that should start the testing process."
Yuno hearing the prince nodded her head and did as she was told. She sat at the center of the array formation and got into the lotus position. She then regulated her breathing in a way that she started attracting the surrounding celestial energy. After a few minutes, she slowly started absorbing the celestial energy. At the same time, as if the ice crystals had been subjected to obscene temperatures, all five of them started turning into deep blue mist. The mist slowly gathered around Yuno, engulfing her completely. The mist slowly sipped into her pores tainting her body an icy blue color. After which signs of frost started to appear.
The frost spread across her body encasing her in a thin layer of ice. Following that, chaotic wind started to blow all around, causing the three to be slightly alarmed. But it was too early for such a reaction as the chaos was just beginning!
The clouds slowly turned black! Which was saying something as the four were in a separate space! Lightning danced and thunder cheered as a storm could be felt brewing! With every passing minute, the winds blew harder, the clouds got darker, and the storm got more devastating!
Suddenly lightning struck! The lightning was as thick as a medium-sized tree trunk. And its target? Yuno. But before that could happen, time stopped! The lightning paused mid-air unable to move any further! But on a second glance, it wasn't actually time that stopped, as it was just that everything in a one-kilometer radius had been encased in a thin layer of transparent ice... Everything from the clouds to raindrops to the lightning that was in mid-descent!
Luckily the three observers were encased in a protective bubble, if not, they too would have been encased in the ice. They weren't safe from the danger though as the bubble was slowly being covered with a transparent layer of ice. The three looked at the scene with shock as they felt a powerful spiritual pulse radiating outwards, Yuno as its center.
But the crazy wasn't over yet!
The ice around Yuno's body melted away forming liquid runes. The runes solidified around her head like a crown before disappearing into thin air. Yuno slowly opened her eyes, eyes which now had a blue shine to them. Her hands moved to form countless seals. And when the last hand seal was made, a cracking sound could be heard coming from within her body.
As if chains had been broken, a giant spiritual Yuno manifested! But this Yuno was that of the Yin-Jade Spirit! The Yin-Jade Spirit had cold blue eyes. The temperament of a goddess as well as the looks! In her right hand was a twenty-meter-long blue spike. It released an aura of a chilling heavenly tribulation, capable of destroying worlds! If one observed it closely they could see small electric arcs randomly flaring up from within it.
On the other hand, literally, was a tattoo of a white jade-like snowflake. It released a coldness that sent chills through the soul!
The Yin-Jade spirit held out her hands as the blue spike and the snowflake floated down toward Yuno. As they floated down, their powers seemed to be rapidly getting consumed as they were trying to gain physical forms.
When they were a meter away from Yuno, both the spike and the snowflake had only been left with a fraction of their power, but in return, they had gained a physical body!
The spike quickly entered through the space between her brows. Increasing her cultivation talent, cultivation base, as well as her battle prowess. The snowflake on the other hand stuck itself on her forehead reinforcing her body and changing the color of her long black hair into icy blue!
Having accomplished its purpose, the Yin-Jade Spirit diminished its size, returning back to her body and the ice slowly melted away, returning everything back to normal.
"Sooooo, I'm guessing she possesses the Yin-Jade Spirit?" asked the youth in an awkward tone.
But he didn't receive his answer as both the prince and the red-haired man had been far too shocked by what had transpired! The Yin-Jade Spirit had far surpassed their expectations!
*sdgdlkjgdskj*
Suddenly tearing sounds were heard as the separate space had become unstable due to all the turbulent qi that had appeared during Yuno's awakening! Through the tears, one could see a smooth and flat sandy color.
The red-haired man seeing this slowly stepped forward. But somehow that small step allowed him to instantly appear in front of Yuno, he quickly picked her up before taking another step forward, returning to his original position beside the prince. Not allowing the teen to fully express his shock, the man waved his hand prompting all four of them to vanish!
Back in the inn, the once large mansion had now turned into a room containing only two beds. On the floor, you could see a painting of a luxurious mansion. But sadly the painting had now been torn into pieces.
