“I see, now you’ve tell to this Palace Empress, I can felt there is nothing wrong in this relic, hmm, what is this?” Blizzard Empress replied and without hesitation she poured her intent inside the relic to investigate the inscription markings of the said relic.
When her intent entered the relic, she felt a very strong pressure, a pressure that is so much powerful, as if the she is like a snow flake who are crossing a tip of an iceberg, the feeling is very un-describable, as she ventures deeply within the inscription mark, she was quiet horrified to extent to witness and feel the intensive power of the relic, her profound Ice cultivation in comparison to this Profound Ice Inscription markings is like the comparison of heaven and earth, no to be exact she felt like a planet compared to a whole galaxy level!
The intent of the relic was so terrifying, the Blizzard Empress regain her sense once again, due to intense shock and deep intimidation, she dropped the relic from her creamy white hands, and luckily the Grand Frozen Mistress Mu Yunxian catches the relic on time, sweat formed in the forehead of the blizzard Empress, her heart was throbbing fast as if she is palpitating, her tranquil eyes who are lovely and pristine earlier change into dot as if it was shrunk to the smallest it can be while shaking.
