Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: A Bright Smile Finally Appears on Her Face

All around was a vast expanse of ice and snow, searching for a Heavenly Destiny Star Plate no bigger than a palm here was like finding a needle in a haystack, giving Han Yan quite a headache.

Just then, the sound of the wind howled again, the fierce wind, and snowstorm descended in an instant, as if in the blink of an eye, Han Yan was enveloped by the swirling snow.

At the same time, a massive force of Heaven and Earth Power also bore down upon her.

This Heaven and Earth Power was entirely different from what she had felt before, it was cold and violent, irresistibly flooding into the meridians, bringing waves of knife-like pain.

Han Yan jolted back to her senses, realizing that this Heaven and Earth Power encompassed the Laws of both the Holy Court Continent and Divine Continent. For those ancient cultivators, this Heaven and Earth Power was undoubtedly beneficial for cultivation improvement, but for her, it was a calamity, because whether in physique or cultivation technique, she was already fully adapted to the Laws of the Holy Court Continent and naturally had difficulty adapting to the Laws of the Divine Continent.

Fortunately, she had once ingested a Moon Shadow Orchid, which contained the Laws of the Divine Continent like a seed, taking root within her. Coupled with her recent tempering, her understanding of the Laws of the Holy Court Continent deepened, resulting only in a wave of pain. If it were someone else, their meridians might break, leading to instant death.

Understanding this, Han Yan dared not be careless, fully operating the Heavenly Heart Technique, her mind diving into a state of clarity, constantly comprehending the Power of Laws that had merged into her blood with the Moon Shadow Orchid.

The boundless snowstorm gradually submerged Han Yan, each gust of cold wind like a sharp sword slashing at her body, leaving not a single mark yet the biting cold mercilessly invading her meridians.

Her meridians seemed to be sealed by ice, the flow of Qi slowed to a crawl, even the circulation of blood became difficult.

Han Yan felt as though she was trapped in millennia of ice sealing, under the extreme cold, her entire body kept trembling, and an overwhelming weariness seeped into her mind, corroding her will.

”Persevere, I must persevere!” Han Yan knew that once her consciousness sank, falling into deep sleep, she would never awaken, like those academy elites who disappeared forever from this world.

She could only grit her teeth, tirelessly urging her Qi, straining with all her might to grasp the Power of Laws.

...

Time slowly passed, even Han Yan did not know how much time had gone by, seemingly as brief as an instant, yet perhaps as long as millennia.

Focused on comprehending the extreme cold, the Law of Power so different from that of the Holy Court Continent, Han Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened: Ice originates from water, water can become icy, turning into a storm, laying waste to all life. But water can also transform into gentle spring rain, nurturing all things.

This, indeed is the Law, belonging to the Law of Heavenly Ice, also the Water Law.

With a thought, a warm current rose slowly from her Qi Sea, dissipating the piercing cold from her meridians.

All around, though still a world of snow, the warmth circulated her entire body, making Han Yan feel as if she was soaking in a hot spring, free from any sensation of biting cold.

Han Yan abruptly opened her eyes, slowly extending her palm.

A snowflake gently settled in her palm, melting into a drop of water. A thought entered Han Yan’s heart, and the water droplet sprouted like a seed, growing fine stems and leaves, blossoming into a delicate bud, and finally a small indigo flower blossomed in her palm. Although still holding that icy cold, it also contained endless vitality.

This is the Water Law, capable of extinguishing all life, yet also able to nurture all things in the world.

A light smile finally appeared on Han Yan’s face.

Before her, the lights and shadows suddenly changed, and the endless icy plains vanished, replaced by waves of heat.

Rivers of molten lava flowed ceaselessly, and beneath Han Yan’s feet was a protruding giant stone, surrounded by these lava rivers.

Having just gone through a snowstorm, she now stood in a place akin to a legendary inferno furnace, Han Yan’s sweat flowed like rain.

With the waves of heat, Han Yan could even smell the scorching of her hair. This was a world of fire, even without falling into the lava rivers, prolonged exposure to these high temperatures would turn one into ash or nothingness.

However, Han Yan’s face showed not a trace of fear, remaining calm and composed.

Earlier it was the Water Law, now, is it the Fire Law? Just as water can turn to ice, destroying all life, but also nurturing all beings, the Fire Law is no different?

Indeed, all things in the world have birth and extinction, which is the fundamental Heaven and Earth Rule.

Although, all laws unite, different laws possess unique mysteries; thus, Han Yan calmed her mind, fully engaging in comprehending the Fire Law.

...

”Jiang Clan Leader, are you sure Han Yan can pass the Secret Realm trial to obtain that Heavenly Destiny Star Plate?” In the Soaring Dragon Tower, a burly elder asked Jiang Yunhe in a serious tone, full of doubt.

”To my knowledge, in the tens of thousands of years of Long Yan Academy’s history, no one has ever emerged from that Secret Realm unscathed, does Han Yan possess such capability?” Another sharp-faced elder questioned doubtfully.

”You haven’t seen her, her natural talent is beyond your imagination, and fortunately, I was born centuries earlier than her, if I were born in the same era, I probably wouldn’t even have the confidence to compete with her.” Jiang Yunhe sighed with emotion.

Hearing his words, Jiang Qiling, standing behind him, revealed a melancholy expression.

”Does she truly possess such talent!” The elders were all surprised; knowing Jiang Yunhe for years, they understood his pride, and it was the first time they saw him praise a junior so highly.

”When you see her, you’ll know I’m right.” Jiang Yunhe sighed again, involuntarily glancing at his beloved daughter.

Being not of the same era as Han Yan spared him the sadness, but it made his daughter pitiful.

”We understand, then let’s prepare to act.” The elders spoke solemnly.

”Brother Tu, Brother Jing, Brother Leng, this time I’ll have to trouble you.” Jiang Yunhe clasped his hands to the elders.

”This matter concerns the rise and fall of our Divine Servant Clan, and the ancestral teachings, so it is our rightful duty to contribute.” The elders spoke with solemn expressions.

”Uncle Tu, Uncle Jing, Uncle Leng, I have another request.” Jiang Qiling saluted.

”We’re all family, no need for such formalities. Just speak your request.” One elder said.
