Rong Nianbing's Testing Ground, Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, Heavenly Tribulation

Well, I guess you could say that.

Han Li smiled and said, "But at least I gave you the right to choose, didn't I? Even if the outcome won't change."

His words were quite shameless in a way, but none of the three refuted him. Even Ice Empress, who had been acting very irritably, only glared at him secretly before falling silent.

"So, besides just having us cooperate with you in collecting Faith Power, is there anything else?"

After thinking for a long time, Snow Empress continued to press for answers.

"No, no, or rather, I came to see you just by chance, there was no particular reason."

"If you had been willing to do as Gu Yue said from the beginning, I wouldn't even have shown up."

Han Li waved his hand; he wasn't lying about this.

"By the way, you can try to cultivate the techniques that were also transmitted to your minds. Given your current state, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to come into contact with the rules, especially for you, Snow Empress. Your progress might be faster than expected."

Starting from the Super Douluo, humans need to comprehend their own Martial Soul. In a sense, this is also a way of coming into contact with the rules, only it is the kind that is closer to their own Martial Soul.

As for Soul Beast, it's similar, but they tend to have more specific attributes, giving Soul Beast an advantage in this respect.

Of course, this is on the premise that we ignore their outrageously slow cultivation speed in the early stages.

"We will try."

Snow Empress nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

Han Li was quite satisfied with their performance. He admired this aspect of the Soul Beast Race: when you show absolute strength, except in cases of a fight to the death where they would choose to self-destruct, they are usually quite obedient and rarely question or betray you.

"Alright, now go and inform your respective clans and affiliated clans to do as Gu Yue instructed."

Han Li turned to look at the Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King opposite him.

The two glanced at Snow Empress out of habit, then nodded. They were a little unaccustomed to having a new leader.

"The cultivation technique might speed up your tribulation process. You can have Snow Empress contact me in advance. Putting aside everything else, it will be very easy for you to pass the next Heavenly Tribulation with ease."

A jade token landed in front of Snow Empress. This item had appeared before in the previous Mental Sharing, so there was no worry that she wouldn't know how to use it.

Upon hearing this, all three showed a hint of interest, and their gazes towards Han Li were no longer hostile, but even carried a touch of gratitude.

Han Li was quite familiar with the tactic of slapping someone and then giving them a treat. Moreover, aside from being a bit more forceful, he didn't pose any real threat to them; on the contrary, he provided assistance, making it a fair exchange.

In the minds of the Soul Beast Race, this situation is practically impossible.

The castle fell silent for a moment. Titan Snow Demon King reluctantly looked away from the Jade Token tablet, rose to take his leave, and quickened his pace as he went. Once outside the castle, he transformed into his true form and vanished quickly amidst a thunderous roar.

So, everyone turned their attention to Ice Empress, who was still standing there, seemingly oblivious to any problem.

"I'll spend a little more time with Snow Empress. You probably won't mind spending a little more time, right?"

Ice Empress's eyes flickered, but she was unwilling to leave immediately, and her gaze towards Han Li held a strange meaning.

She, Ice Empress, a warrior of pure love, refuses to be bullied, a scorpion tail and a minotaur.

Han Li looked at her and Xue'er with completely different eyes. Even if the possibility was small, she would still be the last line of defense in front of Snow Empress.

"Oh."

Han Li glanced at Ice Empress and let out a strange laugh. He had almost forgotten that this one was an even more heavyweight, a rare yuri otaku in the Love Continent.

Ice Empress felt a little uneasy under Han Li's gaze, but she still glared back defiantly. She would protect the Snow Empress.

Snow Empress frowned, but seeing that Han Li didn't seem to care about her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, we'll need to trouble you, Snow Empress, to take us to the Glacier Lava Cave."

Han Li looked at Snow Empress, for this was the most important reason he had come to see the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Perhaps because he shielded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, that scoundrel Rong Nianbing placed his Land of Inheritance in a lava cave in the Far North Land. That cave had glaciers and active volcanoes coexisting, which was quite peculiar, but its location was extremely close to the territory of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Even if Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er's God Exam didn't take very long, it definitely couldn't be completed in just a few days. That's why Han Li appeared so openly.

Food is not a problem, as we have Storage Soul Tool, but we must inform them. Even if they are not weak, this is the heart of the Far North Land. To conduct God Exam in their base camp, do they really think the Soul Beast Race is made of clay?

Upon hearing his words, the two Ice and Snow Emperors were taken aback at first, then nodded. The Glacier Lava Cave was located in the center of their territory, and they had explored it before, so it was not unfamiliar to them.

"Oh, I almost forgot, just a moment."

Han Li was about to set off when he remembered something. He looked at Shui Bing'er beside him, stood up, tore open a space, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, unsure of how to express their feelings.

In less than a minute, the silver light gate reappeared, and Han Li stepped out of it, holding two lotus flowers, one large and one small.

"Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus!"

Ice Empress jumped up from her seat, making no attempt to hide the burning desire in her eyes; she really wanted it.

Han Li glanced at her and said indifferently, "Want it? Sure, go catch a 100,000-year-old ice-attribute Soul Beast and trade it with me. I don't mind."

This was something he had been eyeing for a long time, and he even used the power of the rules to hide it and accelerate its development to 100,000 years.

Even without sentience, it still produces Soul Bone, which can enhance physical constitution and Elemental Affinity. If it continues to grow and develop sentience, it might become the second Snow Empress.

As for now, it hasn't developed any intelligence yet, so it's just an extremely powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It can be said to be the most suitable Seventh Soul Ring for Shui Bing'er. For this reason, he gave up on forcibly creating a 100,000-year-old Ice Luan.

"Forehead."

Ice Empress shut her mouth. If it were 90,000 years, she wouldn't mind hunting down a Soul Beast of another hostile race in exchange, but 100,000 years, only Xiao Bai at the gate would be suitable, and Snow Empress would absolutely not agree to it.

"Your Excellency, could you exchange that ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus for me? Xiao Bai is just one step away from crossing the threshold of one hundred thousand years. I can exchange it for Soul Bone."

However, it was the Snow Empress who spoke up. She had her eye on the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus and also wanted to take this opportunity to observe Xiao Bai's progress in undergoing the hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Han Li; he had demonstrated the corresponding strength, and with the memories Mental Sharing, she didn't think Han Li was deceiving them. However, when it came to matters of Heavenly Tribulation, no amount of caution was excessive.

With Xiao Bai's strength, passing the first Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't be a problem, but she still wanted to see how much the weakening would affect her plans. Otherwise, even if she switched to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, she would still be uneasy.

"Can."

Han Li pondered for a moment and then agreed. He had originally planned to take the Xiao Xue back and throw it into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but now it seemed that it was not impossible.

A look of joy appeared on Snow Empress's face as she used her Soul Power to hold up a piece of Soul Bone that exuded a chilling aura and handed it to Han Li.

"The Torso Bone a near-100,000-year-old Ice Luan that failed its tribulation are quite suitable for this young lady."

She looked at Shui Bing'er, who had already accepted the snow lotus, her goodwill very clear. Soul Bone were useless to them, but being able to exchange them for something that would help Xiao Bai improve was undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal.

Indeed, it was quite good. Without hesitation, Han Li threw the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus toward the Snow Empress.

This Soul Bone is much stronger than the 85,000-year-old Soul Bone he obtained from Di Tian before, and it is also more suitable for Shui Bing'er. Perhaps after absorbing it, or when it transforms into Divine Armor, she can advance even further. No matter how you look at it, he won't lose out.

Ice Empress pursed her lips and gave up. She didn't have this preference. She only had some Soul Bone from her own clan, and they weren't very old. Besides, she wouldn't compete with Xue'er.

"I have some other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here. If you want to trade them, you can exchange them for high-age Soul Bone. They will work for both of you."

Han Li blinked, then took out some medicinal herbs, such as cordyceps, that he had harvested from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from his wristband, and looked at the two of them.

Anyway, these are useless to him now. It would be good to exchange them for some Soul Bone. Grandfather Ma Xiunuo and Tao Ge can try to equip a set later.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were stunned for a moment, then resumed their exchange, and also brought back the Titan Snow Demon King who had just left.

As for Xiao Bai, aside from his clan, he gave almost all the good things to Snow Empress, and was basically just a background character throughout the whole thing.

"Alright, let's go to the plaza outside. Bing'er is absorbing her Soul Ring, which is perfect. Let the Ice Bear King also take this opportunity to advance."

After the exchange ended, Han Li, acting like a leader, took the lead and walked out with his men. The Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North obediently followed behind, completely taking the initiative.

In the square, Shui Bing'er had already swallowed the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus. Since it had no intelligence, it could even skip the sacrificial ceremony. Once it was completed, the Soul Ring would appear on its own, and the corresponding Head Soul Bone would also be formed. Shui Bing'er could control the whole process at will.

Han Li placed a layer of divine power shield over her body and led the Ice Bear King to the other side of the square.

It is about to undergo its tribulation under Han Li's intervention.

It had already swallowed the ancient snow lotus and was rapidly refining it; the fluctuations in its Soul Power were already difficult to suppress.

Dark clouds filled the sky above the entire square, with blue and white lightning bolts flashing wildly within the gray clouds. An extremely oppressive atmosphere had locked onto the white giant bear below.

Not far from it, Snow Empress looked at it with some concern, while Ice Empress looked lazy and indifferent.

Titan Snow Demon King's expression was not good.

It and Xiao Bai have fought quite a few times. If it weren't for the Snow Empress suppressing them, they might have already fought to the death. Now, it doesn't know whether to bless the other or hope that it dies under the lightning tribulation.
