Around this time, Tiana was starting up her Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. The first individual who joined up her sect was Helena Fontana.

This girl was rather young in terms of age and experience. She was also very rough along the edges compared to Tiana, who had a good education before marrying Jonas.

​​

The first thing Tiana did was give her one Seven Star Yin Pill.

Helena was rather suspicious as she ate that pill. However, after observing Tiana's gentle temperament for the next couple of days, she trusted her and ate the pill.

Tiana was surprised as she felt the nearby Yin Ardor immediately rush towards Helena.

In the distance, the Boreal Mountain Bears sensed this change in the environment. Beasts were very sensitive to the changes of Ardor in the environment.

Previously, when Tiana was undergoing her transformation, Azaroth controlled the Yin Ardor around them to prevent it from affecting the Boreal Mountain Bears.

Azaroth had a profound reason to not inform Tiana about it.

It would be up to Tiana on how she handled these Boreal Mountain Bears. No matter what she did, it would be a good experience for her.

He trusted her enough to know that she would handle this situation smartly.

The Boreal Mountain Bears had a 5 Star Beast among them as well. So it wouldn't be easy for Tiana to deal with them.

But it was good that the Boreal Mountain Bears didn't dare to get close to the fox's territory.

They had many bad memories of this place. One such memory was when the Boreal Mountain Bear Lord had been beaten to the brink of death by the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.

The Boreal Mountain Bears also remembered how they had all been beaten to their current mountain.

Their defeat at the hands of those Frozen Spirit Foxes was so deeply ingrained in their minds that they didn't dare to go anywhere near the territory.

Thus, they still hadn't found out that the Frozen Spirit Fox Clan had been annihilated. Only 4 of the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's kits had survived.

One of them had even awakened a rare bloodline. It was Frozen Spirit Fox Emperor bloodline.

There was a symbol of 'Emperor' on that fox's head.

The other three kits had a 'King' symbol on their forehead.

It was a good thing that this symbol was normally hidden. Only when the Frozen Spirit Foxes flared up or used their Bloodline Skill would it be visible. This Symbol would exert a great bloodline pressure on other beasts.

Bloodline Pressure was a simple skill utilized by many kinds of beasts possessing a great bloodline.

It would boost the aura of the user while also suppressing the aura of its opponent. It would also affect the beasts possessing low-ranked bloodlines, no matter their cultivation.

Only the beasts who had walked a path of blood could ignore that Bloodline Pressure.

The Bloodline Pressure of the beasts even worked on Humans. But not to a great extent. A human possessing some sort of intent could easily contend against it.

In any case, Tiana sensed that the Yin Ardor's equilibrium in the area had been disrupted. However, she had no idea that it had reached a point where the Boreal Mountain Bears had sensed it.

Thus, she prepared no countermeasures for it yet.

Nearly three days later, the ice over Helena's body cracked, and she was finally free.

It took a greater time for her to upgrade her spirit because her physique was a lot worse than Tiana's physique.

Moreover, she hadn't cultivated before, so her energy channels weren't developed. A lot of energy was lost during this process. Thus more time was needed for her physique to elevate to the Seven Yin Physique.

It didn't offer quite as many benefits as Tiana's Sacred Seven Yin Physique, but it was still a huge boost to Helena.

For starters, she had absorbed Yin Energy in such large quantities that it had naturally strengthened each portion of her body, even though she hadn't started cultivating any technique yet.

She had broken through to the 1 Star Rank, and as long as Tiana provided her with an appropriate technique, her progress would be quite quick.

Another thing that had occurred was her appearance transformation. If it was the pure ice aura and facial beauty, then she could barely contend against Tiana right now.

Naturally, she would lose to Tiana due to her lack of Noble Temperament or elegance. Her aura would be completely suppressed before Tiana.

However, this was quite a significant boost compared to before.

Helena was also surprised to find out that this Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect had been founded recently. And she was the first member of this sect.

Tiana spoke her first words as she stared at Helena after successfully transforming her body into Seven Yin Physique, "As you are one of the first members of this sect, I will give you a Frozen Spirit Fox as your pet. Take good care of it."

Tiana then began to teach her cultivation formulas. She kept the Nine Yin Cultivation Art and some other top-tier cultivation techniques with herself while imparting the other techniques to Helena.

It took some time for Helena to get used to cultivation. She wasn't used to this stuff at all.

Tiana could relate to Helena. She remembered when she had entered the Rhodes Mansion and was given multiple techniques and asked to cultivate them.

It was very challenging for her to get used to this stuff. After that was Azaroth's training, and then her body and mind adapted to it.

She planned to give some time to Helena for her to adapt to this lifestyle.

Once she was proficient in utilizing her cultivation technique, Tiana planned to teach her some basic techniques. Those techniques would be essential in controlling her Ardor.

Only after that would Helena begin to utilize her Elemental Ardor.

It was a good thing that Azaroth hadn't given her a time limit. Tiana could do this at her pace, one step at a time.

Tiana roamed around her territory as well. One reason was to get familiar with the area, and another reason was to hunt the beasts nearby.

Controlling 4 Star Rank Ardor was new even to Tiana. Thus, she had to get more familiar with it and increase her control over it.

Soon enough, a month had passed.

Helena had now begun to manipulate the Ice Element while Tiana had more or less mastered her 4 Star Ardor.

She was now getting used to the arrays left behind by Azaroth. Her knowledge and control over these arrays would be essential against an enemy of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Moreover, she had to keep this sect concealed until they had at least tens of members.

Only after she achieved, this benchmark would Azaroth give her orders.

Meanwhile, Helena was quite surprised that she and Tiana remained in the same place for such a long time.

She found it weird because Tiana would never leave the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect for a long time.

At the maximum, she would remain outside the sect's territory for a couple of days and return.

Helena knew that there was no city nearby. Even if Tiana rushed at it with her top speed, she wouldn't be able to reach it and return in a couple of days.

This clearly indicated that Tiana didn't go to some city. Then how could she pay Helena's salary monthly?

Just what was the source of income for the sect?

In reality, there was no source of income for the sect yet.

Just like Sargan and Yrellea, Azaroth had left behind some Spirit Coins for Tiana as well. He had given her a lot more spirit coins since she was creating an entire sect.
