5 Frozen Cloud Asgard
Located in the far north of the Blue Wind Empire, a land covered in snow as far as the eye can see, three women can been seen flying across the white wasteland.
It's been a few hours since finishing their talk in Qingyue's room back at Floating Cloud city and the group of women started their journey towards Frozen Cloud Asgard. Flying over a snow capped mountain they finally managed to get their first glimpse of the beautiful sight of the Sect.
Surrounded with thick icy ornate walls were hundreds of breath taking ice palaces situated on a large snow covered mountain.
"Welcome back Senior Master Yueli." Arriving at the front gate of the sect the trio were greeted with a small bow by a few disciple on guard duty.
With a nod of acknowledgment at the disciples Chu Yueli led Jasmine and Qingyue towards the Sect Mistress's pavilion.
"Heh, now that I'm here in person and can see more disciples, I'm beginning to feel like this place is very familiar." Jasmine couldn't help saying aloud. "Though this just makes the coming talk more interesting if what I think is true."
"Familiar?" Hearing Jasmines comment Qingyue couldn't help asking.
"Mm, In the Eastern Divine Region there's a middle-tier star realm called the Snow Song Realm that has a similar feel to this place."
A few minutes of walking later the trio arrived at the Sect Mistress's pavilion to see a beautiful woman around thirty years of age sat upon an icy throne watching them with an emotionless gaze.
"Yueli you have returned… I thought you would only be bringing one disciple with you." The woman called out with a emotionless voice as they entered.
Hearing this Chu Yueli could only sigh hearing the emotionlessness of the one she sees as her adoptive mother. 'Is this really how we all sound to everyone? Jasmine pointed this out earlier, but hearing it now makes it hard to ignore.'
"Sigh… Master please call the Grand Mistress here, it concerns the future of Asgard."
Looking from Chu Yueli to the two young girls behind her with a blank expression, the Sect Mistress gave a curt nod of the head and left the room.
Sighing again, she turned towards the others. Yueli could only give a wry smile. "Sigh, I know you said that the Frozen Heart Arts weren't good for us but I still couldn't see why until now."
"Mm, emotional suppression to such a degree can only do more harm than good. Without emotions there will be little-to-no drive to improve yourself, which will eventually lead to stagnation." Jasmine explained the defects of such a practice.
"I see, hearing something like that is indeed enlightening. However there is an important reason we still practice these Arts." Said a detached voice from the doorway.
Entering the room was the Sect Mistress that left earlier was followed by a woman with greying hair that appeared to be around fifty years of age who could only be the Grand Mistress of the sect.
With a slight sneer Jasmine couldn't stop her retort.
"Heh, isn't it just because your disciples cultivate Vital Yin? The negative of such a technique is that when mixed with Yang during times of intimacy with the opposite sex, is that the male will receive the Frozen Cloud Arts that the female had cultivated until that time?
What better way to avoid having this secret revealed to everyone and leading to the danger of becoming cultivation resources for others than practicing an art that seals the emotions that could lead to having romantic desires."
Pin drop silence followed Jasmines revelation of one of their Sect's biggest secrets, both older women looked as if they had been slapped.
"You-!"
"Masters please calm down." Chu Yueli quickly interjected, she didn't want them to risk offending someone as strong as Jasmine by accident.
"It's fine Yueli, even if they are upset, it does not take away from the truth. Now before you start getting mad how about we calm down and have a nice little talk."
As she said this Jasmine made her way towards the throne and sat down before releasing a fraction of her aura over the whole room.
Seeing Jasmine acting like she owns the place Yueli and Qingyue could only shake their heads in exasperation at her behaviour.
Meanwhile the two older women flinched feeling the heavy suppression.
With a clap of her hands to break the tension Jasmine reigned in her aura. "Now! Introductions please."
The Sect Mistress stepped forward first and with a deep bow.
"Senior, this one is called Gong Yuxian."
Following this the Grand Mistress did the same.
"Greetings to Senior, this old woman is named Feng Qianhui."
Yueli could only shake her head with a wry smile hearing this.
"HMPH! What Senior! This Princess is only thirteen years old! Bah forget it." Jasmine said with puffed cheeks. "Why do these old fossils always call me Senior, it's like they're cursing me with old age."
Hearing what the young girl had said shocked both of them to the core, for someone so young to suppress them who are Emperor Profound cultivators so easily with her aura means she is much stronger than they are.
"Jasmine please stop teasing the masters." Yueli could only asked with a sigh.
"Geh, don't say such things Yueli! A Divine Master such as myself would never stoop to such a level." Jasmine retorted in faux indignation. "*cough* Anyway, I wanted to know… Are one of your sects ancestors surnamed Mu?"
"…Yes the Founder was named Mu Bingyun, she created the Sect roughly 1,000 years ago." Feng Qianhui replied in slight confusion.
"Aha! I was right! This place does have a connection with that realm!" Jasmine exclaimed as if she had just made a huge discovery.
"You know who our founder was Miss Jasmine?" Queried Gong Yuxian with only a slight tremor in her voice, still unsure on what this young girl wanted to so in Asgard.
"Was? She is still alive. Mu Bingyun is the younger sister of the Realm-king of the Snow Song Realm."
Seeing the confusion written all over their faces, she explained while pointing to the sky.
"The Realm-king is the ruler of a star realm in the Realm of the Gods. You can only gain access by ascending past the Sovereign Profound Realm."
Hearing that their founder was not only still alive but was also someone that is from a higher realm that many of the super powers of the world wished to ascend to shocked them to the core.
"Knowing this though now explains why your profound arts have such harsh defects even though your sect has a background that would make others jealous with envy.
The Snow Song Realm is ruled by the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. A sect that was built upon the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix, a True God from the Ancient Era.
In order to use the Arts you would need to have the Ice Phoenix bloodline, so Mu Bingyun tried to make a simplified version that worked without it. The problem with the Arts she made are that it seems to reduce your lifespan and cause you pain without the bloodline." Jasmine said with a sad smile.
Still shocked they two older women couldn't formulate any response.
"Is there anyway to cure these issues?" Chu Yueli asked with hope in her eyes.
Thinking for a moment, Jasmine opened her Chat Group shop.

"Currently there is nothing I can do, but there will be methods to do so in the future." Jasmine informed them with a smile.
Hearing Jasmines claims they relaxed as if freed from a large burden.
"Now that all that is out of the way, as I told Yueli earlier today, I will be joining your sect as a Guest Elder with Qingyue and Yueli here as my Disciples.
What I offer is knowledge of things beyond the Sovereign Profound Realm and protection that will make this sect the safest place on this planet so that you can grow without fear of others like the so called Sacred Grounds." Jasmine told the two older women in a jovial tone in an attempt to break up the heavy atmosphere.
This once again shocked the pair, who was this young girl that could say she could protect them from so many Sovereigns from the Sacred grounds.
Seeing the looks on the Masters faces, Yueli felt the need to speak up.
"Masters, Jasmine is six Profound Realms above the fabled Profound God Realm. If she says that she will protect us, nothing will be able to harm us."
"Sigh, Yueli do try to not give your Masters a heart attack." Jasmine said with a wry smile after seeing the flinch that Yueli's words brought rather than comfort.
Snapping out of their shock Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian agreed to Jasmine's request.
Standing from the throne with a feline like stretch, Jasmine started to leave.
"We can talk more another day when the six other Fairies are present in the Sect, for now there is no reason to draw attention to myself, so I will be staying with Yueli and Qingyue for now."
Taking this as their queue to leave, Yueli and Qingyue followed, leaving Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian alone in the quiet throne room.
Leaving the Sect Mistress's pavilion, the trio made their way to Yueli's courtyard where Jasmine gave them a few pointers in furthering their cultivation before deciding to go and rest for the night.

Reading through the message that appeared on the opaque screen in front of her, Jasmine could only shake her head with a wry smile.
'Sigh, how should I go about explaining this...'
*knock, knock*
"Come in Qingyue." Jasmine called out having already guessed that she would be receiving a visit.
With a few nervous steps Qingyue made her way into Jasmine's room.
"You have so far seemed to know a lot of what is going on, almost too much. At first I didn't want to say anything since you have only helped me so far and didn't seem to have any ill intent, but I want to ask you now.
What did the missions mean when it mentioned stories and plot? do they have anything to do with your apparent knowledge." Qingyue asked with a firm voice.
'Hmm? has her Heart of Snow Glazed Glass awakened enough to already start picking up on these small details?' Jasmine looked at her in wide eyed shock before letting out a genuine smile.
"Your talents are truly amazing Qingyue. Yes they would be where I have gotten a lot of my knowledge.
I will explain this to you because even though you would be able to tell if I lied to you, I also trust you with this secret of mine."
Qingyue's eyes went wide with surprise, she did not expect Jasmine to just answer her questions so openly.
"Heh, Dont look so surprised, I meant it when I said I trusted you." Jasmine couldn't help teasing her. "I will keep it short since now is not the best time to get into details."
Hearing this Qingyue agreed, since she could already see the other group members sending messages in the chat.
"Short version, Anything can exist in the ever growing infinite of the Omniverse. To keep it brief.
Our Primal Chaos, the universe we are in right now, is one of an uncountable number of different Primal Chaoses that each are different from each other in some way.
Be it 1 small person never being born, to the True Gods still being alive, and this is just our Multiverse.
The Omniverse is a collection of Multiverses, one such as Yoruichi's world, The world of the current mission we received.
In some worlds they have forms of literature that is based on other universes, whether the creator of the story gave birth to the universe or they caught glimpses of that universe in some way allowing to write a narrative isn't known.
Don't worry about it too much though, take these stories as a skeleton, yes it has details about the world but it is very focused on certain people and elements." She explained with a strained smile.
Unsure why she was telling Qingyue this other than a gut feeling compelling her to, with a deep breath she told her deepest secret.
"I know things because I have memories from my previous life, where I lived in one such universe where these stories existed."
Qingyue's face was going through a cascade of emotions as her mind tried to digest what she was just told. As she came to a decision, she gave Jasmine a large bright smile.
"Thank you for trusting me with such a secret, I promise I will take it with me to the grave."
Hearing this a small smile made its way onto Jasmine's face as she let out the rising tension that was building as she waited for Qingyue's reaction.
"We can talk more about this another time if you would like, for now why don't we join the others in the Chat."
