Like searching for a needle in the ocean—where was Wan Yao Wang supposed to find a True Dragon for Di Tian?
Meanwhile, Snow Empress held Gu Yu tightly against her chest, seemingly both to show her affection for him and to keep herself from being deceived.
A treasure that could help her withstand the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!
What a heaven-defying existence that was!
Though Snow Empress had been the Lord of the Far North for many years, having reached this point and learned this information, she still felt as if she were in a dream.
She feared that her dream would shatter.
"Sister Snow, there's no need to be this nervous, right~"
Gu Yu felt as if he were buried in something soft, like stepping on cotton. It was somewhat unsteady, and somewhat suffocating.
But Snow Empress held him so tightly that he could barely breathe.
Yet after hearing that, Snow Empress hugged him even tighter.
Her little face, cold for countless years, unexpectedly broke into a gentle smile.
"Do you know how terrifying the consequences will be if you lie to me?"
Gu Yu rolled his eyes. Fine, she still did not believe him.
Just wait. Once they got there, she would surely kneel and beg for mercy.
Gu Yu thought viciously.
Following Gu Yu's directions, they covered a thousand meters with each step.
They arrived at Dragon City in the Heaven Dou Empire!
It was not far from the Far North to begin with, and Snow Empress arrived swiftly.
A sect with a thousand-year inheritance stood here: the Earth Dragon Sect.
"Who dares trespass into my Earth Dragon Sect?!"
Gu Yu had originally planned to sneak in with Snow Empress.
But they were discovered in the end.
Fortunately, the Earth Dragon Sect was not very powerful. Its strongest member, Sect Master Nan Shuisui, was merely a Spirit Douluo.
To Snow Empress, who possessed 700,000-Year Cultivation, these humans were nothing more than ants.
"This Empress does not wish to kill."
Although it was close to the Far North, Dragon City was suitable for human habitation and did not endure year-round wind and snow.
At that moment, a peerlessly beautiful, noble woman with the appearance of a young girl moved casually through the crowd, like a winter plum blossom in snow, proud against the snow and frost.
Heavy snow began drifting through the air from nowhere.
The human who had just called out was instantly sealed in ice.
Emperor Cold Heaven: Snow Dance Shining Sun!
A world of snow blanketed the entire Earth Dragon Sect.
In but an instant,
Fortunately, Snow Empress was kind by nature. She only froze them and did not take their lives.
"Sister Snow really is such a kind sister."
Snow Empress: ...
Along the way, this True Dragon had chattered nonstop, his mouth full of such remarks.
It reminded her of how that Ice Silkworm had once acted upon seeing Ice Empress.
Fortunately, she was not Ice Empress.
She merely smacked his butt irritably, warning him to behave himself!
She was not that easy to fool!
Although Snow Empress did not understand why the True Dragon she had captured, the one who wanted to trade the Auspicious Beast to Di Tian, had only just met her—
If this was true, however,
then no matter what, she would thank him.
If he liked talking nonsense, then let him talk.
With no one left to stop them, one person and one dragon quickly arrived at the Earth Dragon Sect's rear garden.
Even when they reached the well, Snow Empress could not sense what treasure here could support her through the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
However, when she finally stood before the well,
Snow Empress suddenly shuddered, her pupils trembling.
"This place?"
"Sis~ don't get excited, I, uh~ I~ can't breathe~"
Snow Empress was too powerful. Even with his dragon body, she had him completely restrained.
He nearly rolled his eyes and passed out.
Snow Empress said nothing. Only now did she understand what kind of treasure this was.
Without hesitation, she dove into the well.
A wave of chilling energy struck them, but it was no problem for Snow Empress. She was a life-form condensed from the purest Ice Attribute Heaven and Earth Yuan Power of the Far North Core Circle.
Gu Yu, however, shivered several times.
"I'm going numb~"
He was a dragon, but also a dragon transformed from the Dragon Slaying Blade not long ago. How could he possibly have the strength to resist such extreme cold?
Fortunately, Snow Empress noticed in time and dispelled the chill around him.
After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and tucked him into her chest.
Gu Yu:?
Snow Empress's icy little face showed not the slightest expression, yet a faint blush could still be seen beneath her fair skin.
"I already know what this place is. In a moment, I may not have the chance to protect you anymore."
"Stay put and don't move around!"
Gu Yu: ...
I'm not the pervert here!
You were the one who put me here!
The cold spring was frigid, with a temperature far below zero.
Descending straight underground, Snow Empress instantly arrived at the entrance to a stone cave and pressed her hand against the rock wall.
The entire stone wall began to tremble faintly, and a doorway only large enough for one person to squeeze through silently opened.
An immense surge of cold air rushed at them, and only then did the cave's true appearance fully reveal itself.
Crystals!
Azure-blue crystals were everywhere!
"Ice Extreme Divine Crystal! The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave!"
Snow Empress opened her little mouth into an exaggerated O, staring blankly at the sight before her.
She nearly went mad.
"How did you find this place?!" Snow Empress asked in disbelief.
One had to know that even that useless Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had managed to reach a million years by devouring massive amounts of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
And the vast amount of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow before them was simply a supreme treasure for soul beasts with Ice Attribute abilities!
With such a blessed land, she and Ice Empress could grow to Di Tian's level.
The 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation would become a joke as well.
"Keep it low-key~ Keep it low-key~"
After adapting to the temperature, Gu Yu poked his head out from Snow Empress's chest.
But Snow Empress was faster, reaching out and directly pulling him out.
Her clear, ethereal sky-blue eyes widened as she pressed her lips together and asked, "Are you sure you want to give this place to me?"
It was far too precious. To the Far North, it was comparable to the Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yu said, "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you here."
"Don't worry. This place is useless to me. It's yours now."
Gu Yu appeared exceptionally generous.
After all, this place did not belong to him.
It was the Earth Dragon Sect's property.
But clearly, Snow Empress did not regard them as worthy of notice.
"What do you want?" Snow Empress was not foolish.
With a place like this reserved for herself, she could safely survive Heavenly Tribulations for hundreds of thousands of years.
For him to give it so generously to someone he had only just met—she would never believe he had no ulterior motive.
"I want you to be my wife!"
Seeing Snow Empress's expressionless face,
Gu Yu promptly changed his words. "You need to protect me."
"I was just born. I'm too weak, so you need to protect me."
Yet while Snow Empress hesitated, she still said honestly, "In the Star Dou Great Forest on Douluo Continent, there is a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with 800,000 years of cultivation. The soul beasts revere him as the Lord of Soul Beasts."
"And there is also a blessed land far surpassing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave there—the Life Lake."
Compared to herself, care from one of his own kind was clearly more suitable.
Gu Yu shook his head. "Not all soul beasts value their descendants. I don't know what Di Tian thinks of me. I just don't want to gamble."
Snow Empress understood.
Some soul beasts valued their clans, while others did not care about their own kind at all and were instead deeply hostile toward them.
For example—Wan Yao Wang.
