Hundred-Thousand-Year Embryo!

After looking over the experimental data, Jiang Shengyu felt a headache coming on. He could not make much sense of it.

At the end of the day, he had merely relied on his modern perspective and understanding of technology to propose products of modern industry, then had Mingde Hall use Soul Tool Technology to bring them to life, achieving a fusion of Soul Tool Technology and modern technology.

When it came to these specific experimental data, he really could not tell what exactly was going on.

However, Jing Hongchen perhaps understood Jiang Shengyu's limitations as well. While Jiang Shengyu was reading through the records, Jing Hongchen explained the recent progress and areas that needed improvement.

After listening, Jiang Shengyu closed the records and said with feeling, "Senior Brother truly is the Sky-Supporting Jade Pillar and Sea-Bridging Purple Gold Beam of our Sun Moon Empire!"

"Cut it out! I don't buy that." Jing Hongchen snorted. He glanced at Jiang Qingtong and Huo Yuhao beside them, then said, "You three little ones have come from far away, so go get some rest first. Don't freeze yourselves sick here, or our teacher will hold me accountable when you return!"

"Alright, then we'll go lie down for now." Jiang Shengyu nodded without saying anything more.

The three followed a staff member toward the living quarters. As they walked, Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky, then said to Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong ahead of him, "Cousin, Cousin, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" The two turned back at the same time and asked in unison.

Seeing them turn around simultaneously, Huo Yuhao was briefly dazed.

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong looked extremely alike. Aside from the sharper and softer contours of their facial features, as well as the difference in their hair lengths, they were practically identical.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I need to go outside to take care of something."

This was a decision Huo Yuhao had made after careful consideration. Although the matter of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm needed to be kept secret, he did not intend to simply disappear without saying anything.

Leaving aside whether he could sneak out without Jing Hongchen and the other Titled Douluo here noticing, even if he did get out, Jiang Shengyu and the others would surely ask what had happened when he returned after being unable to find him.

After thinking it over, he felt that only by telling Jiang Shengyu in advance could his departure seem more natural.

Although Jiang Shengyu knew perfectly well what Huo Yuhao intended to do, he still smiled and asked, "This Far North is covered in ice and snow. What does Yuhao need to go out for? Do you need manpower? Shall I ask Senior Brother to send a Titled Douluo to accompany you?"

At the mention of having a Titled Douluo accompany him, both Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness jolted. Huo Yuhao quickly shook his head. "That won't be necessary! Their Excellencies are busy with countless matters. It would be better not to trouble them..."

"What are you saying? You're Senior Brother's disciple, so your safety is extremely important too!" Jiang Shengyu shook his head and spoke to Huo Yuhao with a serious expression.

How could the still-young Huo Yuhao be a match for Jiang Shengyu? Seeing Jiang Shengyu insist so firmly, he began to grow anxious.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's anxious expression, Jiang Shengyu was already laughing inwardly, but his face remained utterly serious. "Since Yuhao doesn't want a Titled Douluo to accompany him, how about letting Qingtong go with you?"

"Cousin?" Huo Yuhao froze.

Jiang Qingtong nodded and said to Huo Yuhao, "Mm. I have so many Rank Nine Soul Tools on me. It would be good to have someone to look out for each other with if we go together. What do you think, Yuhao?"

Jiang Shengyu added, "It can't be that you have some unspeakable secret, can it?"

"No! No..." Hearing Jiang Shengyu say that, Huo Yuhao instinctively protested, but he did not sound very confident.

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong did not press the matter. They looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Then it's settled. What do you think, Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao sighed and nodded. "No problem! Cousin can come with me!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, "It's fine! Yuhao, I'd be a little unsure if a Titled Douluo came along, but she's just a little girl! Before we find the Ice Empress, I'll just make her pass out!"

"She won't be hurt, will she? She's my cousin." Huo Yuhao was somewhat worried upon hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reassured him, "Of course not. Don't you know what I'm capable of? Don't worry!"

Only then did Huo Yuhao relax.

After the two prepared a few things, they left the camp and stepped into the wind and snow.

Not long after Huo Yuhao and Jiang Qingtong left, Jing Hongchen sent someone to summon Jiang Shengyu again.

"Senior Brother, you wanted to see me?" Jiang Shengyu poked his head in through the doorway and looked at Jing Hongchen. "What is it?"

"What did Qingtong and Yuhao go off to do?" Jing Hongchen glanced at him and asked.

Jiang Shengyu did not hide much from Jing Hongchen. He said, "Yuhao has something to take care of. I think it has something to do with his martial soul, so he went out for a while. Don't worry, Senior Brother. Nothing will go wrong."

Jing Hongchen gave an acknowledging hum, then said, "Perfect. Since Yuhao isn't here, I have something to tell you as well. Come with me."

"What is it?" Jiang Shengyu asked curiously.

Jing Hongchen did not explain, only saying, "Just follow me. You'll know when we get there."

Jing Hongchen was acting mysteriously, which naturally made Jiang Shengyu curious. He followed Jing Hongchen out of the research room and headed toward an underground research area.

Jiang Shengyu saw numerous Defensive Soul Tools arranged along both sides of the corridor. Even in the Far North, Jing Hongchen had not let down his guard, instead deploying so many Defensive Soul Tools. It was clear just how cautious he was.

Jiang Shengyu became even more curious about what Jing Hongchen wanted to show him.

What could warrant such heavily guarded security?

Before long, Jing Hongchen led Jiang Shengyu through the corridor and into the room at its end. Inside, Jiang Shengyu saw what Jing Hongchen had brought him to see.

It was an embryo jointly sealed away by two Rank Nine Soul Tools.

The embryo of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

"This is..."

Jiang Shengyu's pupils contracted as he stared at the scene before him in shock.

Jing Hongchen said to Jiang Shengyu, "Two months ago, Heavenly Sound Douluo encountered this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo while he was out. Soul Beasts face Heavenly Tribulations in their cultivation. We suspect that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Far North knew it could not survive its Heavenly Tribulation, so it intended to transform into an embryo and cultivate anew. But we happened to discover it!"

Snow Empress!

This is Snow Empress's Embryo!

Jiang Shengyu immediately realized the origin of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Embryo!
