6 5. Frozen Heart Sect

The Frozen Heart Sect is a powerful organization of cultivators who specialize in ice and frost-based techniques. The sect is known for its strict and demanding training methods, which involve enduring extreme cold temperatures and mastering the manipulation of frozen energy.

The Frozen Heart Sect's cultivators are known for their exceptional control over ice and frost, allowing them to create powerful ice spells and freeze their enemies in their tracks. They also have a unique ability to control the temperature of their surroundings, allowing them to create sub-zero environments that are inhospitable to their enemies.

The Frozen Heart Sect's philosophy is based on the idea of purity and detachment. They believe that by cultivating their frozen energy, they can purify their hearts and achieve enlightenment. However, this pursuit of purity often leads to an unyielding and merciless attitude towards those who oppose them, making them feared by many in the cultivation world.

The Frozen Heart Sect is known to be reclusive and rarely interacts with other sects or factions, preferring to focus on their own cultivation and internal affairs. However, they are not above using their power and influence to further their goals, and they have been known to ally themselves with other sects when it serves their interests.

Despite their reputation as cold warriors, the disciples of the Frozen Heart Sect are known for their honorable and just conduct. They are defenders of the weak and oppressed, and many villages and towns seek their protection from marauding bandits and vicious monsters. The sect has also been known to assist other sects in times of crisis, earning them the respect and admiration of many.

In conclusion, the Frozen Heart Sect is a powerful and fearsome organization in the Cultivation World, known for their mastery of ice and frost-based techniques and their strict adherence to their philosophy of purity and detachment. Their reclusive nature and unyielding attitude make them both respected and feared by those in the cultivation world.

Tyler and Priscilla stood on the prow of the flying boat and stared off the scenery. There is a small protective energy barrier covering the whole ship which acts as a wind barrier. This is Tyler's first flying experience. So his mouth grinning unconsciously. Priscilla took a glance at his reaction and felt amused.

"We are here." Yu Meixue said. The boat reached near the Magic Snow Mountain.

A giant pillar that is 624 km (374 mi) in diameter is stretched towards the cloud. It is not a pillar. It is a massive mountain that is 75,000ft tall. Above the clouds is the snowy top. It has many rivers flowing through it. The middle part of the mountain is near the clouds. It is fully covered with dense forest. Finally, the base of the mountain, which has many villages, towns and cities filled with mortals.

The Frozen Heart Sect situated on the top of the Magic Snow Mountain that is constantly shrouded in mist.

Yu Meixue drove the boat above the clouds.

"Wow," Tyler mumbled.

A whole place made of snow and ice. Every building is made of ice and snow. A giant building made of ice is in the center which is atleast a 1 km in height and has a 200m giant 'ice heart' on the top. There are many cities around the sect, which he can't clearly see. But Priscilla explained it to him.

The boat landed near a big gateway (which is also made of ice.) It has beautiful carvings and patterns in blue. Also there are two dragon statues on both sides of the gate.

The protective layer disappeared.

"Woah" Suddenly chilling cold assaulted Tyler. But it was only for a second before it turned warm. Yu Meixue protected him from the cold.

She threw a small red ball towards him and retrieved her power. He caught the red ball and he felt warm again.

"Give it to Priscilla, after the registration." She said as she waved her hand the boat became small and she kept it. Tyler is pretty sure that the boat disappeared at the end.

Tyler stepped into the gateway. He felt like two statues were scanning him. He unconsciously clenched his bag which had a copper pot.

He sighed in relief only after passing the gate. He once again said "Woah". Because there is a big road made of ice that is spread across the whole sect. It doesn't have a pillar. It is just one giant road which is hanging in the air. Lots of people are walking on the ice road. There is also some ice skating on it. And some using sleighs which are pulled by dogs, giant foxes or even some ice dragons. 

Only now he noticed that not all buildings are made of ice. There are buildings made of only glass. Glass that is more durable than ordinary glass from mortal Kingdoms.

There are also bricks that look like snow or ice, but definitely not.

Soon he was led to a building which has a signboard with beautiful letters carved on it - 'OUTER HALL'.

Outer Hall is a small white box-like building without any additional floors. When Tyler entered the small building he was shocked because he can feel that the building is actually a lot bigger on the inside.

"The building is bigger?"

"Yeah. It's some sort of formation. I don't know anything about that. Cause I am just an Alchemist." She just waved her hands.

There are three girls who are in their 20s and a man in 30 is waiting inside the hall. They stood up when they noticed Priscilla.

Priscilla just nodded at them and ignored them. She turned to Tyler and said, "This is the outer hall. An Outer Elder will come and explain to you about the rules and everything."

"Senior sister. This thing..." He took out the red ball which Yu Meixue gave.

"Oh there is an Array Formation in the building. So you won't get cold." Priscilla snatched it while letting out a tongue cutely.

"Formation... Arrays" Tyler mumbled, he is slightly interested in these Array formations. 

Priscilla, who was walking away, stopped and winked at him, "Oh.. I forgot to tell you. it is my honor to extend the felicitations on joining the sect."

After Priscilla left, Tyler looked around. 

There are only a few people he doesn't know. The whole interior looks like he was inside a wooden hall. Nothing like this structure belongs to an Ice covered exterior.

There were some books on the shelf. A wooden table and chair which looks like someone's workplace. He also sat with others. There were some chairs in the center of the room. There are other people who are waiting for the outer elder.He saw a small dragon statue on the table. Its body, its neck, head, long tail, sharp claws, and fangs, its four strong feet, as well as its pair of wings, were all made of ice and stone. Its scales revealed coldness and snow lingered.

Out of curiosity he observed it closer.

The dragon head suddenly turned towards him.

"D-Don't look at me like that! B-baka" The dragon statue shouted at him in a tsundere loli tone.

All the people in the room got surprised.

"G-go and wait there. Outer Elder will arrive soon. " The dragon statue's loli-like voice rang out once more.

"Ok!" He bowed to the statue. He then went to a corner and sat down as he waited quietly. He took a glance at others. He knew that these people were probably the same as him. To Join the sect. But he is quite puzzled. Because unlike him who joined in special circumstances, how could these four join the sect? Guessing their age, the sect won't even take a glance at them, right?

"Hello. Fellow Daoist." The man in the thirties greeted him.

"Hello"

"My name is Fondil Mabols"

"..." Tyler paused for a second and said, "Tyler White." He could see one of the girls is trying to control her laughter and the other two are looking at her in a puzzled expression.

"Where do you come from? Fellow Daoist." Fondil Mabols asked.

"I am from Ligma Country." 

"psssst" The girl couldn't control her laughter.

She then lowered her head with a shy red face.

Fondil looked at him as if to find out whether he is getting revenge on him.

They began to talk about random topics.

By talking with Fondil, he learned that these people are from the cities near the sect. Aside from disciples, there are many mortals and Rogue Cultivators.

Rogue Cultivators or Loose Cultivators are Independent cultivators unaffiliated with any school, sect, clan, or other cultivation organizations.

If any of the sect didn't choose him. He might have become a Rogue Cultivator. 

Now these four people are from cities near the sect to join the sect as servant disciple. If the servant disciples show good aptitude they have a chance to become Outer Disciples.

A strange smile appeared on Fondil Mabols' face. He surveyed Tyler and spoke in a teasing tone , "You are not a virgin, right?"
