Chapter 489: 489: He woke up.
Tan Bingyu carried the lucky kid who was approved by the hammer shaped artifact and gave him to someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect. If he can be found as someone with talent in swords then he could stay. If not he can try joining the Heavenly Flame Sect which is well known for armament making and refinement. His hammer shaped artifact would fit their expertise well
She decided to stay at the Heavenly City for a few days and accompany Di Jia back to the Snow Clan. Since she didn’t need to look for her mistress, the Moon Goddess, right now. It is better for her to come back home and wait for Yue Xuexia to arrive in the north with the rest of the Hidden Tan Clan members.
She stayed in the Heavenly Sect for another month and stayed in the inheritance altar of the sword god where she had awakened her sword intent in the form of a phoenix. Everyone was stunned by her talent. It actually only took her two months to gain a Sword embryo and attained Sword Intent in a month. She is faster than the four popular young masters of the Heavenly City.
Her name had once again spread and gained popularity all over the realm. In a month, she left the Heavenly City with Di Luya, Di Lou and Xue Fuya. They head to the North together.

Meanwhile, at the Snow Clan’s Territory...
A similar ice phoenix phenomenon had appeared above the ice mountains of the Snow Clan. But unlike the ascending figure caused by Tan Bingyu. This phoenix form had descended instead. It caused a lot of commotion in the north, especially to the ones involved in it.
The silhouette of the ice phoenix had fallen to the area where the son of the great elder is slumbering and caused the whole ice mountain peak to explode.
CAWS~
BOOM
The great elder, her dao companion, Clan Master Xue Yi, Tan Huang and Tang Yuyi appeared above the broken ice mountain peak and they were all surprised.
Tan Huangyu said, "Is that Phoenix not a real one?"
"It’s not. This is a technique called Phoenix Soul return. Something every direct bloodline of the Xue Clan can do. Our granddaughter, Tan Bingyu, can do it as well,"
said Tang Yuyi.Clan Master, Xue Yi said while frowning. He knew about the technique Elder Tang is talking about but he didn’t know much about how this lost technique could be used by someone in their clan.
"Though this technique does exist, it’s a lost one that no one knew where it had gone to. Moreover, is there someone else aside from Bing’er who has awakened such a special physique in our clan?" Clan Master Xue Yi said.
However, upon seeing the Supreme Elder and her partner panicking when they saw the broken ice mountain peak, he understood that this situation must be something that involves them. Tan Huangyu and Tang Yuyi who had some guesses in their heart didn’t speak right away and just followed Clan Master Xue Yi to descend to the ruined mountain peak.
The Supreme Elder of Xue Clan was in tears as she tried to dig through the ruins of the ice mountain peak. When Xue Yi and the rest go closer all they hear was her chanting the following words,
"My son. My son... please be alright!"
Xue Yi was surprised as he truly didn’t know that the supreme elder had a son.
"What is going on here, Supreme Elder, Senior?" the Clan Master Xue Yi asked.
The Supreme Elder’s state is not good and can only ask her dao companion.
"It’s our son. He had been in a coma for years after awakening a physique similar to Tan Bingyu. However, as a male it is hard for him to assimilate the coldness and had never woken up after he fell into slumber."
Xue Yi knew that the possibility for a male in their family to awaken is similar to death and they are all short lived. However, the son of the supreme elder and the grand senior had survived all this time. Even though he had stayed asleep after his awakening, for him to survive meant that he had gained compatibility with the ice elements in his body as long as he woke up their Snow Clan would gain another genius aside from Tan Bingyu.
Who would have thought this situation to happen? For an Ice mountain peak to suddenly explode is like a natural disaster. Learning that the child had been placed underground, with how much the debrises piled up over it, the child must have been buried alive.
That’s why he understood the reason for the supreme elder’s tears.
"My son. My Ren’er~ wuwuwu~"
The Supreme Elder muttered in despair.However, something unbelievable had happened before their eyes, they saw a white phoenix flying out of the debrises causing a frost storm upon its presence.
CAWS~
This white phoenix silhouette had slowly descended from the sky and an ice phoenix appeared before the elder. Under their gaze the white phoenix had slowly disappeared revealing a man with long white hair and gorgeous deep blue eyes staring at them.
This man was handsome and his features were a bit delicate and his skin was fair white. Maybe because he had never been exposed to sunlight ever since he had entered that underground and fell asleep. This handsome man was like an ice god descending on earth. His features were indifferent and cold, and his handsome face was devoid of expression.
His eyes move and stare at the adults in front of him. He recognized his mother and father but when he tried to speak, only a hoarse sound was heard. He stopped doing so and just walked towards his parents. Each of his steps form a snowflake to prevent his jade-like foot from landing on the dirty ground.
When this man stood in front of the supreme elder and her husband, he smiled lightly and mouthed mom and dad making the two elders cry as they immediately hugged him in their embrace.
"Ren’er, it’s definitely out Ren’er!"
"It’s good that you’re finally awake. As long as you wake up!"
Everyone else was surprised as they didn’t expect that the son of the supreme elder and her dao companion would finally wake up. Moreover, his cultivation is unexpectedly high. Peak Nascent Soul Realm. It seems the accumulation of cold qi in his body all these years had pushed his realm this high. Thanks to that high cultivation realm he only needs to eat a few healing pills to regain his voice and meditate to stabilize his realm.
The elders of the Snow Clan and Xue Yi were delighted that there is finally a genius from their clan and he is surnamed Xue instead of Tan. Even though Tan Bingyu can be considered half a member of the Snow Clan, her surname is still Tan. She cannot take the seat of the Clan Master.
But the son of the supreme elder and her dao companion are different. The husband of the supreme elder had married into the Xue Clan and changed his name to Xue. He is known as Grand Elder Xue and the dao companion of the supreme elder. This means their child will be surnamed Xue.
Xue Yi asked the supreme elder and grand elder, "What is his name?"
"His name is Renxue. Xue Renxue," the supreme elder said.
The elders all surrounded Xue Renxue but what he had asked next had shocked everyone from the Snow Clan.
Xue Renxue asked his mother, "Mom, where is Bing’er?"
A raspy yet magnetic voice echoes in the area. It sounds mellow yet cold. Making some females blush but instantly woke up in reality when this handsome man spoke a female’s name.
As the granduncle of Tan Bingyu, Xue Yi was surprised to hear the young elder about her. He couldn’t help but ask.
"The Young Elder knew about my grandniece, Tan Bingyu?"
Everyone watching Xue Renxue nodded his head and said, "Yes. She is my chosen Dao Companion."
Everyone was shocked with what they heard.
"Chosen."
"Dao."
"Companion!"
"How the hell did that happen!?"
The Hidden Tan Clan members were stunned speechless while Xue Yi and his family was in disbelief and the rest of the Snow Clan members were dumbfounded and some even fainted. Even the Supreme Elder and the Grand Elder looked so shocked that an egg can fit their mouths.
Seeing the reactions around him, he recalled that he didn’t tell them yet about what he had experienced after his soul had left his body when he had first awakened. He told them how he had woken up in the body of a female called Meiren and become Tan Bingyu’s Shimei. How they fell in love with one another and how she had to sacrifice that body of Meiren to protect the Three Sword Peak he had entered as a disciple.
The more people heard about his story the more believable it was. Xue Yi especially summons the informants to ask about the information of the vessel this young elder had used in these past few years. Because of this they’ve learned about the special phenomenon that had happened in the Heavenly Sword Sect just a few days ago.
Now they looked at Xue Renxue in disbelief. But this time his story is believable as the facts and proof had indeed shown the fact that Guan Meiren was said to have died and Xue Renxue woke up after. There is no way there is no connection between the two silhouettes of the ice phoenix that appeared in their territory and in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The Supreme Elder asked, "You died as Guan Meiren and woke up in your real body?"
"That’s the story. So, where is Bing’er?" Xue Renxue asked.
