My Man Is Not Yours to Criticize

"Wonderful!"

Shen Tianyu was delighted. He had taken another step closer to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I have to speed up my cultivation!"

The two Emperors were still restoring their Spiritual Energy, so Shen Tianyu left first.

In the Extreme North, no one could harm the two Emperors, so Shen Tianyu had nothing to worry about.

He wandered through the underground caverns, searching for Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

After reaching the peak of the Golden Core realm, his absorption speed had clearly increased.

Whenever he found a deposit of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, Shen Tianyu immediately sat cross-legged and absorbed it.

Half a day passed, and his Golden Core became a little more transparent.

Just as he was about to continue searching, the Ice Snow Two Emperors arrived.

Their gazes were full of resentment, as though they were quite dissatisfied that Shen Tianyu had abandoned them and run off alone to search for Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

"Xue'er and I have finished cultivating. Hurry and come exchange Immortal Arts with us in battle!"

The Ice Empress spoke without hesitation, her pretty face serious and solemn.

The Snow Empress nodded beside her. It was better to let Binger say something so difficult to voice.

"It has only been half a day, and you want to fight again?"

"You said you would teach us Immortal Cultivation, you know~"

What a sin!

Shen Tianyu immediately felt disaster looming over him. In the future, the Ice Snow Two Emperors would probably torment him until he was half dead.

"Enough nonsense! Come on!"

Phoenix Crown Bloom erupted, radiant light flowing around them.

Without giving Shen Tianyu a chance to say more, the Ice Empress pounced directly at him.

The Snow Empress did not hesitate either and boldly attacked.

Left with no choice, Shen Tianyu could only mobilize his Spiritual Energy and strike back.

The exchange of Immortal Arts was about to erupt. The collision of Spiritual Energy shook the Extreme North to its core.

Countless Spirit Beasts were curious. What exactly was happening in the Core Zone?

Over the following month, this happened repeatedly throughout the Extreme North.

Ice and snow flew everywhere, while Spiritual Energy spilled into the air.

The Spirit Beasts all kept far away, not daring to approach in the slightest.

During this month of exchanges in Immortal Arts, Shen Tianyu focused on guiding the Snow Empress's cultivation.

Through Shen Tianyu's efforts, the two Emperors' cultivation levels became equal.

After one exchange of Immortal Arts ended that day, the Spiritual Energy of all three fused together.

An instant later, their Spiritual Energy underwent a transformation.

Within the Dantians of the Ice Snow Two Emperors, a small Golden Core condensed into form.

The exchange of Immortal Arts ended, and the two Emperors embraced and smiled.

Looking at the newly formed Golden Cores in their Dantians, both revealed satisfied smiles.

After a month of cultivation, the Ice Snow Two Emperors had both become enamored with this method of Immortal Cultivation.

Without realizing it, they had secretly given their hearts to Shen Tianyu.

Compared to the two Emperors' satisfaction, Shen Tianyu was somewhat unhappy.

After a month of diligently cultivating Immortal Arts, he was still at the peak of the Golden Core realm and the summit of False Nascent Soul, unable to enter the true Nascent Soul realm.

The realm field on the system panel, which had remained unchanged for so long, deeply stabbed at Shen Tianyu's heart.

Fortunately, Short-Term Task 2 had been completed successfully.

Because the Ice Snow Two Emperors had entangled him for an entire month, Shen Tianyu had been unable to spare the attention to claim the task rewards. The task panel had yet to update.

With a thought, he claimed the rewards, and 10 Ninth Grade Spirit Veins and an Emperor-Grade Spirit Gathering Grand Formation entered his possession.

A new task appeared on the task panel.

[Short-Term Task 3: Spread Immortal Arts and establish a Cultivation Academy

Prerequisite rewards: Spirit Awakening Pill formula, simplified Qi Guiding Technique (claimable)

Task reward: Permission to use the Immortal Slaying Sword unlocked!]

Shen Tianyu raised an eyebrow. Short-Term Task 3 actually came with prerequisite rewards that he could claim immediately.

"Claim!"

With a silent thought, he claimed the prerequisite rewards.

After quickly reading through the pill formula and the Qi Guiding Technique, Shen Tianyu smiled and shook his head.

The Spirit Awakening Pill merely allowed someone to sense the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. Only by combining it with the Qi Guiding Technique and cultivating in a place rich in Spiritual Energy could one begin cultivation.

Once they left a place rich in Spiritual Energy, they would no longer be able to gather the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

Simply put, this world was still too lacking.

To fully promote Immortal Cultivation, he had to change the entire Douluo Realm and raise the plane level of the Douluo Realm.

Still, the Spirit Awakening Pill could be made available to ordinary people, giving them a path to choose Immortal Cultivation.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow had all been absorbed, and a new task had been issued.

It was time for his journey through the Extreme North to come to an end.

Rising and brushing his sleeve, Shen Tianyu said to the Ice Snow Two Emperors,

"I'm leaving!"

"You're leaving?"

The Snow Empress shot to her feet with a bang, her rosy, snow-white face pressing close to his.

As she spoke, warm breath washed over his face.

"I'm going with you!"

The aloof and taciturn Snow Empress had become much more proactive after this month of cultivation.

"I'm going with you too! Wherever you go, I'll follow!"

"In human terms, that's called marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog."

"Xue'er is right!"

"You can come with me, but after leaving the Extreme North, you must both listen to me."

"Alright!"

The two Emperors nodded at the same time, each taking one of Shen Tianyu's arms and nestling against him like little birds.

"Before we leave, I need to return to my clan first and make some arrangements."

"Go ahead!"

As the clan leader of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Clan, the Ice Empress naturally had to settle matters before leaving the Extreme North.

"Wait for me~ Mwah!"

After leaving Shen Tianyu with a kiss, the Ice Empress stepped into the air and departed.

"I have matters to arrange as well. After I leave, the position of Ice Plain Lord of the Extreme North must be inherited by someone, so the clans can be kept in check."

"Go make your arrangements. I'll wait for you to return."

The Snow Empress pursed her lips and released an immense amount of Soul Power. In an instant, it swept across the entire Extreme North.

Across the snowfields, powerful Spirit Beasts sensed this aura and rushed toward the Core Zone.

As the Ice Plain Lord of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress's command was one no Spirit Beast dared defy.

Spirit Beasts from all over swarmed in, quickly gathering in the Core Zone of the Extreme North.

Shen Tianyu looked around and saw only Spirit Beasts over ten thousand years old, and their numbers were enormous.

The most eye-catching among them was the Titan Snow Demon Clan. Every one of them was as towering as a giant.

The shortest stood thirty meters tall, while the tallest reached a hundred meters.

"Human, get away from the Snow Empress!"

The hundred-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon King roared angrily.

His eyes glared viciously at Shen Tianyu, as though he wanted to tear him apart.

"Presumptuous!"

Ice and snow descended, with fury contained within the freezing air.

The Snow Empress's long dress swayed in the wind, and the snow-white crown atop her head flashed with cold light.

"He is this Emperor's man! This Emperor's beloved!"

"What?"

The Titan Snow Demon King's eyes widened as he stared at the Snow Empress in disbelief.

All the Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North were shocked, their gazes turning to Shen Tianyu.

"No!"

The Titan Snow Demon King spoke. "Snow Empress, you are the Ice Plain Lord of our Extreme North. How can you be with a human?

A mere human is completely unworthy of you! In the entire Extreme North, only I, the Titan Snow Demon King, am worthy of you!"

"That's right!"

The Titan Snow Demon Clan cried out in unison.

An invisible, powerful pressure descended.

The situation suddenly grew tense, and a murderous aura filled the air.

A massive hand rose and pointed directly at Shen Tianyu.

"Human, if you still want to live, get out of the Extreme North immediately. Otherwise, this King will kill you!"

"How dare you!"

The Snow Empress took a step forward, and the pressure of ice and snow descended upon the scene.

"My man is not yours to criticize!"

The fury of the Ice Plain Lord made the Spirit Beasts present tremble. All of them prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to speak.

The Titan Snow Demon King steeled himself. Knowing he could not defeat the Snow Empress, he could only turn his hostility toward Shen Tianyu.

"Cowardly human, could it be that you intend to hide behind the Snow Empress for the rest of your life?"
