BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76: Third Ice Goddess of the Ice Goddess Sect
The level of energy being unleashed from Azmodeus\'s aura nearly overwhelmed everything within a ten thousand-mile radius, coming close to alerting the stronger experts of the River Serpent Sect.
However, before it reached that point, he used his Stealth and Cloud Shroud Traits.
WAaaa…
The immense aura was instantly cloaked underneath a deep veil that no one below the Unity Form Synthesis Realm could hope to see through.
And luckily for him, nobody of that level was located near the outer layers of the Sect.

"..."
Azmodeus looked down at his fists and immediately realized just how much power he held within them.
However, his thoughts were soon interrupted by the curious voice of the beautiful Nao Long, who was currently sitting over the top of his head.
"What was dat…? Some sort of power up?" She inquired with her head at a slight tilt, question marks going off around her head.
Azmodeus looked up at the confused girl and responded, "It was just your imagination."
"Really…?"
"Yes."
"But that doesn\'t make any sense-"
"You want some sushi?"
"Yesh! I wants it!"
Diversion tactic succeeded.
Can\'t have her going off and blabbering about what I do to all the friends she\'s made out there.
Little did he know that the voluptuous dragon girl had no friends…
Well, at least she didn\'t before meeting him.
…
A few years passed since Azmodeus\'s repeated breakthroughs within the Soul Transformation Realm.
After consolidating his cultivation base, along with the fermentation of a new and improved Essence Soul over the top of his Nascent Soul, he successfully solidified his cultivation to an acceptable degree.
Although it would still require a while before he reached a point where it was okay to keep progressing his cultivation, it was good enough to begin focusing on the advancements of his various professions.
Of which, he had begun delving into the art of being a Spirit Chef!
Although Azmodeus had only achieved the Late-Sky Rank after months of practicing the chef techniques depicted inside a Spirit Chef Manual, it was still at a level where he could start comprehending the essence of the progression.
And after a few more months, he was able to create his fifth iteration of the \'Essence Series\'.
It was on this particular day, when Nao Long was lazing around like usual while pestering Azmodeus, that a new visitor appeared in the Outer Sect area of the River Serpent Sect.
Furthermore, this person in particular was someone quite familiar with the younger version of Azmodeus.
Namely, it was one of the Three Ice Goddesses of the Ice Goddess Sect, Yang Hua!
She was here on order of her sect to get the Grand Elder of the River Serpent Sect onto the side of the Ice Goddess Sect.
Even though she was affiliated with a Righteous sect and would normally be opposed to teaming up with an Evil Sect like the River Serpent Sect, they were in the midst of an intense battle with another Rank 7 Sect from the Iron Devourer Nation.
Located to the North of the Fire Nation but still part of the Northern Spirit Continent, the Iron Devourer Nation made up around a tenth of the known surface area of Prometheus.
-----
The Northern Spirit Continent.
The Northern Spirit Continent contained quadrillions upon quadrillions of Cultivators and countless normal mortals, with all of them looking to the advice of the strongest Sects and Kingdoms on the continent, which were the Rank 5 Kingdoms and Rank 7 Sects.
There were only a handful of such organizations on the continent, and all of them almost always seemed to be in a blood feud with the others in one way or another.
In particular, the Ice Goddess Sect and the Judoka Sect were in the middle of a very intense war—a war that had been ongoing for the last five thousand years, resulting in countless lives being lost in the process.
There were even records of entire countries being wiped off the face of the planet when the powerhouses of both factions duked it out a few centuries ago!
However, today in particular, one of the Three Ice Goddesses of the Ice Goddess Sect—a woman who obtained this position after being scouted from her previous Rank 4 Sect—arrived with the intention of obtaining some assistance from the elusive Grand Elder of the River Serpent Sect.
On a side note, due to her awakened Heaven-Rank Cultivation Talent, she was immediately jolted up to the very top authoritative positions in the Ice Goddess Sect, making her the third woman to be dubbed an Ice Goddess in the last ten thousand years!
One might think this was a bit of an exaggeration for being found out to have a secret Heaven-Ranked Talent, and they would be right.
After all, she merely possessed the lowest level of Heaven-Ranked Cultivation Talent, but there was something else that had been awakened due to her talent being unveiled.
That thing being a physique, or to be more specific, it was the \'Frostbound Physique\', a High-Heaven Ranked Physique!
It was only two levels beneath the absolute peak of what you could hope to be born with in Prometheus!
And it was this exact reason that allowed Yang Hua to become the direct disciple of the Ice Goddess Sect\'s Sect Leader, and also the reason why she was able to become the Third Ice Goddess of the Sect!
…
"Milady, I will stay in your shadow while you handle all negotiation matters."
The voice of a woman with a cultivation beyond the Void Refining Realm resounded. After which, she slightly bowed to the magnificent girl in front of her.
"..."
Yang Hua turned her icy gaze in the direction of her main bodyguard. Then, with a neutral expression, she lightly nodded her head before continuing to glide across the outer area of the River Serpent Sect in elegant fashion.
After passing by a particularly inconspicuous mountain range, for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with something residing in the area.
What is this unusual sensation…? It\'s almost like…
She felt something that she hadn\'t in an extremely long time, as she darted in the direction of the mountain range with a racing heart.
There was nothing to base her speculations on, but as if on instinct, she could feel the presence of the one she had left behind all those years ago.
It was supposed to be temporary… We planned to meet up shortly after I acquired my sect identity token…
But by the time that I found my way back to the Yellow Mellow Sect, ready to show off my new identity, he was gone…
The aura around the Ice Goddess became a little melancholic as she remembered resenting Azmodeus when she found out about his disappearance.
After all, she loved him more than anything in the world!
And yet he left her behind without so much as a goodbye…
