"Winter God Xuanming, huh..." Jiang Li squinted slightly.
Xuanming is the Winter God, as well as the God of the North and the Water God, wielding the powers of wind, snow, and bitter cold—attributes associated with Yin. Also, the Winter governs death, and the Gods of the North generally have a role in slaughter, making it a fitting match for the Queen Mother of the West, the source of Yin Qi.
Since the Immortal Queen had assimilated this Dao Fruit, she essentially met the Fitting Conditions for the Queen Mother of the West Dao Fruit. All that was left was to achieve Dao Fruit Perfection and then systematically complete the Promotion Ceremony.
Her difficulty in being promoted was probably the smallest among all the third grade beings of her time, no wonder she was so eager.
If it were not for the other third grade makers and her master, Tianxuan, taking precautions early on, the Immortal Queen might have indeed smoothly ascended to the Second Grade.
