Chapter 1816 — A Change of Attitude: Though the Ice Palace and the Snow Valley trace their founding to a single lineage, both having come from 'that' place and both once at their height as two of the Four Great Ancient Sects and leading sects of the Heaven Rank Assembly, yet before this Assembly, with no legacy inheritor appearing, they were bound to tread the road of decline...

And watching the Ice Palace snatch up a treasure, the Snow Valley could only look on with envy, jealousy, and resentment!
Yet in this very moment, everyone was genuinely delighted and joyous—what the Ice Palace had, the Snow Valley now had as well!
Of course, they were too excited to have ever considered whether Tang Zhi would actually stay and become one of the Snow Valley's own.
Amid the excitement, Tang Zhi naturally had no idea that she had drawn the simultaneous scrutiny of every great figure in the Snow Valley. At this moment, with her at the center, more and more spiritual energy of heaven and earth was being drawn in, converging and swirling around her...
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had naturally also seen the Grand Elder, Elder Zhang, Xue Li, and several unfamiliar figures hurrying toward them.
Worried about Tang Zhi and unable to understand why she had become like this, they wanted to step out of the carriage and ask the Grand Elder and the others.
"Excuse me, what is going on here? Is Sister Yunyun ascending to the heavens in broad daylight?" Shen Yushu asked the Grand Elder. Among them, this old woman was the eldest and held the highest rank, so Shen Yushu naturally questioned her first.
The Grand Elder was slightly startled. She had been so excited that she had not even noticed Shen Yushu's approach! Thank goodness this was no enemy—otherwise, the consequences would truly have been unthinkable! Only a matter such as the one unfolding before them could absorb a Heaven Rank expert so completely...
"Shh—" The Grand Elder raised a finger to her lips, signaling Shen Yushu to be quiet, fearful that she might disturb Tang Zhi while she received the legacy.
This was a grand event that came once in a thousand years! Even if the Snow Valley were to find a ** of the pseudo Ice Heart Jade Bone constitution who had taken the Ice Heart Jade Bone Pill, or even directly find a ** of the Ice Heart Jade Bone constitution, receiving the legacy still required bitter ** and personal insight before it could be attained!
One must understand that the legacy is a resonance between oneself and the Snow Valley. It is not that a matching constitution allows one to receive the legacy anytime and anywhere! True, a matching constitution certainly permits one to receive the legacy, but the precise moment at which one can receive it depends entirely on one's own insight—it is not something one can accomplish merely by wishing for it!
As for Tang Zhi's case—awakening the hidden Ice Heart Jade Bone constitution and then automatically receiving the legacy—such a thing is a rarity of a thousand years. Only the founding ancestor had ever known so wondrous a fortune. That was precisely why the Grand Elder feared Shen Yushu might disturb Tang Zhi's reception of the legacy!
"What on earth is going on? Is Sister Yunyun in any danger? She has been kneeling for fifteen days—can she still not move you to give us an Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit?" Shen Yushu pressed on.
"You—" The Grand Elder's eyes went wide. She thought, I told you not to speak, so why do you keep talking? She was so furious she wanted to strike Shen Yushu dead with a single palm. If this ruined the great matter of the legacy, no amount of weeping would be enough for the Grand Elder!
But then she thought of the bond between Shen Yushu and Tang Zhi and forcibly strangled the impulse to kill her. If she were to kill Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi would become the Snow Valley's sworn enemy. She would certainly refuse to stay and would flee straight to the Ice Palace and ** there, waiting for the chance to return and take revenge!
So the Grand Elder suppressed her fury and said to Shen Yushu in a voice barely above a whisper: "She is fine. Just do not speak for now. The Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit—you can have as many as you want, all of them if you wish, but first, shut up!"
"Oh..." Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Shen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
