Yet in the end, only scorching shame and silence choked off every sound.
For days, she had struggled inwardly again and again,
until she finally convinced herself.
Accept reality and climb back to the top through hard work!
But just then,
she learned that the Immortal Gate was about to assign a trial mission.
The survival rate was extremely low!
This expansion of the Immortal Gate
was meant to ensure that no one with immortal fate was overlooked. With the slots already decided, the Immortal Gate would not feed idlers!
And that mission... was by no means something ordinary disciples could complete, much less her, who had only just entered the Immortal Gate and lacked cultivation.
With no way out,
she had taken the desperate gamble of kneeling and offering up her Soul Bone.
She only hoped to exchange it for a trace of mercy.
Even if she had to become a slave or servant, as long as she could enter the Heavenly Court, as long as she could grow stronger!
She would still have hope!
"Mm. Get up and come with me!"
Shui Bing'er's voice rang out, carrying a hint of warmth.
She saw the other woman's embarrassment.
For the sake of coming from the same world, she accepted her.
She also wanted someone she could talk to in this foreign land!
With Shui Bing'er's nod and promise,
Feng Qingzi and the others naturally did not dare voice any further objections. They only hated themselves for missing such a golden opportunity!
Amid the envy and jealousy of the crowd,
Snow Empress and the other three selected female cultivators followed Shui Bing'er aboard the Cloud Boat.
When they had gazed at it from afar before, they had already found it majestic and extraordinary.
Now that they stood close to it, they were even more shaken beyond measure.
In Snow Empress's eyes,
the Cloud Boat resembled a dormant giant dragon, its entire body flowing with an indescribably obscure sheen.
It radiated a profound, unfathomable aura that instinctively inspired fear, yet she could not make out its material or structure at all.
As for the other three female cultivators, who came from Immortal Gates and possessed exceptional knowledge,
their shock was even greater than Snow Empress's!
Their eyes widened,
and they could scarcely believe what they were seeing.
That enormous Cloud Boat was forged entirely from Cloud Gold!
Within the Du Xian Sect,
an elder at the Mahayana Stage had once fought someone to the death over a fist-sized piece of Cloud Gold!
In the end, his soul had shattered, and he had nearly been reduced to an idiot!
And before them...
an entire colossal vessel stretching across the sky was made wholly from such immortal gold!
Then there were the pavilions and towers on the boat...
They were actually made of the legendary Dragon Pattern Wood!
Every step revealed a new sight. Every material and object violently shattered the limits of their understanding.
So this was merely the tip of the iceberg of the true Immortal world?
The three exchanged glances,
and each saw incomparable shock and irrepressible ecstasy in the others' eyes!
This truly was a great immortal opportunity to defy fate and change their lives!
"Ah, good times are always too short!"
Pig Herder sighed, glanced back at the increasingly distant Du Xian Sect, and formed a hand seal.
"Buzz~"
The Cloud Boat trembled lightly, then turned into a streak of light and vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The space inside the Cloud Boat was far more expansive than it appeared from outside. Shui Bing'er called Snow Empress over alone to question her.
"What? You... you are actually the ruler of the Extreme North, a Soul Beast nearly seven hundred thousand years old?!"
The moment Snow Empress introduced herself, Shui Bing'er could not help crying out. She instinctively took half a step back.
Her reverence for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts
had long been etched deep into her instincts.
Seeing Shui Bing'er's reaction, Snow Empress's lips curled into a bitter smile.
Fate truly loved to toy with people...
Who could have imagined that not long ago, the woman before her had only been a Soul King, a weak human she could destroy with a wave of her hand?
In merely half a month after entering the Prehistoric World,
not only had her cultivation soared beyond Snow Empress's reach, but her identity and status had undergone earth-shaking changes as well.
Shui Bing'er quickly realized her lapse in composure. She took a deep breath and steadied her emotions.
Then she stepped forward and took Snow Empress's hand.
"Let's not mention the past. Though we are not of the same race, we come from the same world after all."
"In private, there is no need for us to be so reserved. Let us address each other as sisters!"
Shui Bing'er said sincerely,
"I'll call you Sister Xue, and you can call me Bing'er!"
"...Thank you, Sister Bing'er!"
Snow Empress replied softly.
This was the first time she had appeared so wretched before others, and also the first time she had been treated so equally and gently by a "human."
In a completely unfamiliar world,
they were both women, and Shui Bing'er was also her benefactor...
Countless complicated emotions intertwined, and she quickly accepted this kindness!
Douluo World, Extreme North.
"Xue'er! How could you do this?! I'm your Bing'er—!"
When Ice Empress heard that address of "Sister Bing'er,"
her fur instantly bristled.
Extreme cold, mixed with jealousy and grievance, erupted with a boom and swept through the entire Extreme North Core Circle,
making countless Soul Beasts tremble!
"Damned human! How dare you steal my Xue'er!"
"Don't let me catch you!!"
"Otherwise, I'll make you taste the power of the Ice Empress's Pincer!"
Just as Shui Bing'er and Snow Empress were deepening their sisterly bond, the Cloud Boat suddenly lurched violently.
As though it had slammed into an invisible wall, the two were caught off guard
and nearly fell to the ground.
Immediately afterward, Pig Herder's startled and furious roar rang out:
