In a vast pure white land filled with snows.

There's a man standing in the middle of all this breathtaking white scenery but even though the view on this place is breathtaking, they pale in comparison of this single man.

His flowing silver-white hair that's gently swaying because of the comforting wind breeze and his imposing form that seems able to hold anything even if the sky were to suddenly fall above him...

He has a flawless handsome and delicate yet imposing face that will make any woman become lovestruck just from taking a glimpse of his otherworldly countenance... Especially that magnetic gentle yet sharp draconic red eyes of his that able to make anyone lost in reverie.

But his expression is filled with melancholy... He keeps gazing into thin air in front of him and the wind and snow breeze act as if it's trying to comfort the sadness he currently feels... Even the birds and other animals surrounding him also tried their best to comfort him with their chirping sound.

There are even some Profound Beasts mixed in the fray such as the that has reached the peak of .

It is a quadrupedal profound beast with superficially lupine features. It has highly developed limbs, sharp fangs, and claws. Its forelegs are extremely powerful and can kill prey in one brutal blow. Despite its hulking size, Zinogre is very agile and is able to perform many impressive aerial and land-based maneuvers. The spikes on its body mostly lie flat, but when it has built up an electric charge they stick out vertically into the air.

This profound beast possesses a similarity of a Dragon in its feature but since it's not a true Dragon hence its dubbed as an instead, just like a Flood Dragon. But flood Dragon usually found in a huge body of water while Zinogre is usually found in high climate area such as this place.

Even though it mostly uses lightning, it doesn't mean it can't use an ice-based attack. It's just more fond of using lightning instead of ice.

This majestic and fierce profound beast might instill terror to anyone who has a lower cultivation base and even those that are on the need to act with utmost caution when facing this beast but right now it acts like a tame puppy in front of this man while rubbing its head on his arm trying its best to console him along with its purring noise.

It's quite funny seeing a huge beast trying its best to act like a puppy in front of a small figure like him.

They rarely show themselves to humans with their high intelligence and chooses to hide themselves from the public eyes so they won't be hunted for their profound core.

Oddly enough, the other animals and even the other profound beasts that usually became its prey doesn't act scared at all when it's in their presence. They became very harmonious acting like they are best friend with each other just so they don't disturb the man in front of them...

This man is of course Issei himself.

He's feeling sorrowful because he can't go to his loved ones place straight away since he needed time to fully recover himself... He still retains some of his strength but most of his skill is currently being "sealed" so he can't open a void rift opening to travel through between multiverse.

His only comfort is that he knows that the time flow here might differ greatly from his original world.

He can tell the time flow here with his understanding of the law of time and space since this is not the first universal travel he's done before after all.

So he started comprehending this law with the help of Semiramis and Scathach. And since both of them are proficient in magecraft so there's no better teacher than them both.

10 year in this world is the same as 1 month in his original world give or take. At least that's his rough estimation since he can't say for sure yet because of his injury but it shouldn't be that far off from the actual time.

He also can tell the law in this world is far weaker compared to the but it contains much purer nature energy than the latter at the same time.

And not to mention it also contains element albeit extremely thin. At least it's better than nothing... This way he can hasten his recovery.

But he's a bit curious since out of the numerous worlds he went to, this world is the only world that contains energy within it albeit it's extremely thin... It's not surprising since the element is a very dangerous element that could cause a catastrophe if left alone... He decided to think about it later since there's no point thinking about this thing considering how little information he has about this world.

The place he's staying right now is called and as for this planet name, it seems it's called and the continent name is from what he learned so far. But he can faintly sense there are multiple planet/stars/realms outside this place so it's quite a big universe he thought to himself.

As for the strength of this universe inhabitants, it's not that high and the laws here are also weaker than the so he's doesn't need to be too worried for any second coming of Nyarlathotep arriving in his front.

If he must make an example then this world inhabitants is obviously stronger than the Evenicle world but of course QD and the Dragons there are not taken into consideration. Netherworld could be counted as world while this world is at most.

Again, that's not considering their strongest individual such as Forzelotte herself or the one who's the strongest in this world.

This place or should he say sect is created by someone name Mu Bingyun...

It's located in the Snow Region of Extreme Ice, the extreme north of the Blue Wind Empire. Mu Bingyun created the sect to take in ill-fated girls who had nowhere else to go. The sect only took in females and they all had to remain pure to cultivate the Frozen Cloud Arts. Cultivating Frozen Cloud Arts allows the members of the sect to become extremely beautiful and the Blue Wind Empire's number one beauty is always from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.

Issei is the sole man that has ever stepped his foot in this place and even being highly regarded by the sect members of this sect at the same time.

The reason for that is not only because of his otherworldly countenance but also his supposed "Talent" and achievement.

His unconscious body was found by the sect Mistress called Gong Yuxian.

She looked to be about forty to fifty years old but she's still quite beautiful for someone at her age.

At first, she was surprised seeing an unconscious body of a man so near in the vicinity of their sect and she was about to left him to his own fate. But after remembering about her past she decided to help Issei thinking that she will tell him to leave as soon as he wakes up but she becomes completely dumbfounded after seeing his face.

Even that otherworldly celestial woman who took Issei "Virginity" is charmed by him much less a mortal woman like her...

It took her a good 15 minutes to snaps out of her daze and that's also with the help of her sect disciples calling her name releasing her from her dazes. If not who knows just how long will she stand there gazing upon him...

She never thought her sealed and ice-cold heart will start beating furiously once more just after seeing his face once.

She doesn't dare to look at his face anymore after that, but the same couldn't be said for the sect members who snapped her out of her daze before.

This time they are the one who's being charmed by Issei much to Gong Yuxian exasperation...

They all thought that the hailed 7 fairies from their sect are the most beautiful person they've ever seen in their life but now they know that they are mistaken... This man in front of them goes way beyond even their imagination...

The cultivation arts they are cultivating doesn't help them in the slightest at all... They are supposed to have a cold heart but just one gaze upon his face is enough to make their heartbeat went haywire as if it's being injected by chicken blood...

(AN: Some Chinese proverb/idiom).

Some of them had a nosebleed while being red-faced with glazed eyes just from gazing Issei's face.

Gong Yuxian can't really blame them since she for one also fell into the same state as them after seeing his face... She couldn't help thinking if Issei is the "1000 year calamity" because, at this rate, every single girl from their sect will be charmed by him alone...

It took Gong Yuxian a good while to snap them out of their charmed state but even then they keep taking a sneak peek towards Issei from time to time...

She sighed for the umpteenth time before telling the girls to bring his unconscious body inside their sect much to their secret joy.

...

Once inside their sect, Gong Yuxian finally tried to check what's wrong with him but she doesn't dare to look him in the face and tried using her profound energy to inspect him.

She already sent the other sect members away because she's worried that their cultivation process will be disturbed because of him, not that she's one to talk because she can feel that her willpower started wavering after seeing his face alone...

They all grumbled saying she's being petty and all that much to her dismay... But they still listened to her order and leave them alone but they are not that far from their location and they keep their eyes locked to the door that leads into Issei current room hoping to see him again...

To Gong Yuxian utter amazement, when she tried using her profound energy to inspect Issei body, she's unable to do so... That can only mean two things... Either he posses higher cultivation than hers or he posses an art that can hide his cultivation level and prevent any profound energy from entering his body... She's not bragging but her cultivation is at 3rd Level Emperor Profound Realm.

And that can be considered a powerhouse in this continent.

She never heard anything about Issei before this because she's absolutely certain that with this kind of otherworldly charm he will be very famous and that's not taking his strength into consideration... Even she has to admit that not a single girl from her sect able to rival his looks alone...

Cultivation in this universe involves the pursuit of strength by following the 'Profound Way'. The 'Profound Way' of the world gifts each mortal innate profound veins which allows them to cultivation profound strength.

Their realms are divided as such:

1. Elementary Profound Realm

2. Nascent Profound Realm

3. True Profound Realm

4. Spirit Profound Realm

5. Earth Profound Realm

6. Sky Profound Realm

7. Emperor Profound Realm

8. Tyrant Profound Realm

9. Sovereign Profound Realm

Each realm goes from level 1 to 10 before they can advance to the next one, the 10th level of a realm is considered the peak of that realm. Once someone goes past level 10 of a realm but does not enter the next realm it can be considered 'Half-step' into the next realm.

When one's profound strength grows, it essentially means that the density of the profound energy in their profound veins is growing, that their profound energy has become slightly more compressed. Once it reaches a certain level of compression, a fundamental change will occur, that is also when they enter a new realm.

Entering a new realm is normally an extremely difficult boundary for profound practitioners. This is why there are many who are stuck at the 10th level or Half-step level and never progress in their entire lifetime. This is also why medicine that can increase cultivation are highly prized. The strength gain from crossing a realm is so large that it is generally impossible for someone at the 'half-step' level of a realm to win against the 1st level of a realm.

There's also a further realm beyond Sovereign Profound Realm but that's not something the current Gong Yuxian has knowledge of so Issei also doesn't know about it. But they are as such:

1. Divine Origin Realm

2. Divine Soul Realm

3. Divine Tribulation Realm

4. Divine Spirit Realm

5. Divine King Realm

6. Divine Sovereign Realm

7. Divine Master Realm

And even further above them are:

1. Divine Extinction Realm

2. True God Realm

3. Creation God Realm

4. Ancestral God Realm

5. Unknown

...

are what every disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace cultivates as Frozen End Divine Arts are impossible for normal disciples to comprehend. Frozen Cloud Arts lean towards Yin and is easier for females to cultivate.

The rumor that love between males and females will obstruct Frozen Cloud Art's cultivation is false. The secret that the Frozen Cloud Art could be inherited through virgin vital yin aka by having intercourse is the main reason why no male disciples are taken.

These bits of knowledge are only known by Gong Yuxian and the Grand Mistress Feng Qianhui until recently...

The Frozen Cloud Arts were self-created after Mu Bingyun remembered that normal people couldn't cultivate the Frozen End Divine Arts.

The unique feature of the is that it also refines the body and features of the cultivator. The art makes the cultivator's skin be like ice jade and soft resin. Their features would become flawless. Cultivating from childhood only amplifies these effects. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace women are all beauties that could ruin cities because of this.

She realizes just how dire this whole situation is... She still doesn't know about Issei identity and personality.

If he posses stronger cultivation than all of them and maybe also very lustful as well then their fate can be imagined... But if she were to do anything rash now and apparently he has a backing behind his back then their whole sect will be doomed as well... She's in dilemma thinking what she should just do...

She finally decided to discuss it with her Senior Master, Feng Qianhui...

...

She returned with Feng Qianhui in tow towards Issei room and just like she expected, even an old lady such as Feng Qianhui couldn't help become charmed by his look but thankfully she's already prepared for this.

After hearing the detail from Gong Yuxian, Feng Qianhui started thinking the ups and down for their option...

If it's just as they feared then it will be absolutely fatal for their sect... They finally come into consensus to just try to heal Issei of his injury for now and hope for the best...

They really hope he's not the man they thought him to be... Whether it's for their sect wellbeing or for their own heart... Nobody knows...

Gong Yuxian then does her best trying to take care of Issei...

They can't tell that the worst injury he sustained is on his soul so they can only take care of his minor wounds on his body... Gong Yuxian is the one who's taking care of Issei because she can't let their other disciples do it fearing they will lose their will to cultivate their profound way after seeing him...

Even she is currently blushing right now and she doesn't dare to take off all his clothes fearing he will be completely enthralled by him... Just like the "Celestial" woman that took advantage of Issei, she's also finding it a little bit difficult to shed his clothes.

She uses her profound arts to clean and put medicine to his wounds avoiding direct contact with his skin.

She and Feng Qianhui thought that perhaps he's cultivating some sort of charming arts? If so that's really worrying... Coupled with his looks and if he were to cultivate those sinful arts then what will happen to them when the time comes? Can they even resist?

Feng Qianhui - ...Yuxian, don't you think it is weird that even though he is exposed to the cold his whole body stays warm and even his breathing is smooth without any difficulty?

Feng Qianhui mumbled after observing Issei condition attentively. Her face also has a tinge of red after observing his body but thankfully Gong Yuxian didn't notice this since the latter also tried her best to hide her blushing complexion.

It will be extremely embarrassing for Feng Qianhui if it were known that she's being charmed by someone young enough that he could be her grandson... Where will she put her face if this were to be known?

It's not like she's old and wrinkly like 80 years old grannies out there. If anything she could be considered quite beautiful for someone at her age, and even though there are some wrinkles around her face and half of her hair turned white but that's about it.

They judged from Issei youthful face he should be around 20 at most and that's very alarming for them... 20 years old but already posses higher cultivation than them both? That is absolutely unprecedented and never heard of before...

Feng Qianhui who has higher cultivation than Gong Yuxian also tried to use her profound energy to inspect Issei but the result is still the same when she arrives at Issei location...

Even Ling Yun who is the young master of the Heavenly Sword Villa who's known to be the most talented person in their continent right now who's 20 years of age is only at the Sky Profound Realm and that's already considered abnormal...

Gong Yuxian who heard her words become stunned at first before she gave her answer.

Gong Yuxian - ...Perhaps he cultivates some sort of Fire-based profound arts?

Feng Qianhui - ...But if he indeed cultivates fire-based arts shouldn't we feel uncomfortable being near him since we are cultivating ice-based art?

This time Gong Yuxian feeling stumped... Indeed... If Issei cultivates fire-based arts then they should feel uncomfortable just from being near his presence alone...

It got nothing to do with him using his fire-arts or not, but it's just their natural reaction since they
