They had already left the Signal Tower's range. Now, the Communication Soul Tool was no different from a lump of iron.
Soul tool technology and the technology from his previous life simply could not compare when it came to convenience.
"Let's go."
Xu Tinglan packed up the tent, and titanium-gold Soul Tool wings appeared behind his back.
Snow Empress hesitated slightly.
"I don't have one of those..."
She had not expected this trip to take them so far.
Besides, when she had still been the Heavenly Snow Woman, she could fly through the air on her own.
But that was certainly no longer possible now.
Xu Tinglan took another Soul Tool from his storage ring and handed it to the girl.
"You should've said so. I have a spare."
The four exhaust ports on his back activated, and in an instant, he shot into the air.
Snow Empress fiddled with hers for a while and slowly rose into the sky as well.
Though she flew rather crookedly.
After using it for less than fifteen minutes, she was already able to handle the Flight Soul Tool properly.
The two headed northeast.
Powerful thrust erupted from their jets.
Mountains, fields, and grasslands were cast far behind them.
Douluo Continent was not particularly large in area, roughly comparable to Blue Star.
When Huo Gua had set out from Shrek on foot and crossed the entire Heaven Dou Empire from its border, it had taken him only ten days—around eight thousand li.
The route from Sun Moon territory to the Far North was somewhat farther.
But both of them possessed the cultivation of Soul Ancestors and had fifth-grade Flight Soul Tools.
Their speed was on an entirely different level.
From time to time, they stopped at nicely furnished hotels to rest.
The nightly price was not high. Two rooms for the two of them cost only three Gold Soul Coins.
After seven days, they finally arrived at the Far North.
The Far North had been frozen for eternity, and the world was a sheet of white.
Blizzards raged freely. Cracks crisscrossed the snowfields, glaciers towered like the backs of giants, reflecting the gray-white sky.
Auroras draped down like white curtains.
Joy appeared on Snow Empress's delicate face.
She instinctively spread her arms and stepped into the wind and snow.
Her silvery-white hair intertwined with the snowflakes as they danced in the air. Her toes kicked up fine snow, and her white dress fluttered as though a fairy beneath the moon were dancing.
It was an incomparably breathtaking sight.
Xu Tinglan stood nearby and quietly admired it.
With the Sea Spirit Turtle as his Soul Ring, wind and snow could no longer affect him much.
The two continued deeper inside.
They encountered several Soul Beasts along the way, but none had cultivation beyond ten thousand years.
When they sensed Snow Empress's aura, every one of them showed reverence. There was no panic, only heartfelt veneration.
Snow Empress's word was absolute in the Far North. No Soul Beast would ever harbor the thought of defying her.
In the blink of an eye.
The dark clouds in the distance churned violently, transforming into emerald-green light.
It spread across a diameter of more than ten thousand meters.
A crisp voice rang out, filled with undisguised excitement and joy.
"Snow Empress, I finally found you!"
The snow filling the sky danced along with the voice, as though responding to the newcomer's emotions.
An emerald streak cut across the sky. With a flash of light, a Soul Beast appeared before them.
Xu Tinglan examined her carefully.
Ice Empress's body was only about one and a half meters long. She counted as a little girl among Soul Beasts. The armor plates on her body were as crystal-clear as emerald gemstones.
Light refracted from her body into countless dazzling colors.
Though she was a scorpion, she did not look evil at all.
Instead, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Why have you taken human form?"
Faced with Ice Empress's curiosity.
A faint smile appeared on Snow Empress's lips. She walked to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, placed her fingers upon one of its icy pincers, and gently stroked it.
She told Ice Empress everything that had happened during this time.
Beginning with finding the hundred-thousand-year Ice Lotus, all the way to being saved by Kong Deming and the two of them forming their pact.
Ice Empress's words carried deep distrust.
"Can humans truly be trusted?"
Snow Empress wrapped her fingers around the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
"If we want to become gods, we must inevitably integrate into human society and gain their faith. And that world is wonderful. Not everyone there is bad."
"Don't you want to see the world outside?"
After a brief hesitation, resolve flashed through Ice Empress's emerald eyes.
"I don't!"
"But I am willing to become one with you."
"My time is running out anyway, and you have become human too. Everything is just right. From now on, we will never be apart!"
The Two Emperors of Ice and Snow both understood.
Only by joining together would they have a greater chance of becoming the Ice and Snow God and gaining eternal life.
Emerald light blazed forth.
An endless stream of Soul Power poured into Snow Empress's body, and her cultivation gradually rose.
An emerald ball of light separated from her body.
It merged into Snow Empress's body.
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's original body lost its luster and became dim.
This was her spiritual origin. Only Soul Beasts with cultivation above a hundred thousand years could use it.
Her soul also entered Snow Empress's Sea of Consciousness.
The cultivation of the girl in the white dress continued to rise. Her fifth Soul Ring emerged with a blood-red glow.
Four golden patterns ran across it.
An emerald Torso Bone faintly emerged upon her body. Not only that, but a series of External Soul Bones, including rib bones, fused into her as well.
Xu Tinglan watched the shocking scene before him.
Snow Empress, who was infinitely close to seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, had actually accepted the sacrificial fusion of Ice Empress, who was infinitely close to four hundred thousand years.
Suddenly.
A thunderous boom rang out in the high sky. Endless darkness descended, and overwhelming pressure crashed down from above.
Snow Empress raised her head, astonishment appearing on her lovely face.
She had actually sensed the aura of a god. How was that possible?
It was not the Ice and Snow God.
Instead, it carried both Wraiths and holiness, two utterly different powers!
This exceeded Snow Empress and Ice Empress's understanding.
Drawn by the powerful force of the sacrificial fusion, gray currents shattered space and descended directly upon this place.
A blurry figure had originally appeared beside Snow Empress.
But after pausing briefly, it suddenly accelerated and rushed toward Xu Tinglan.
The youth watched the gray bead crash toward his forehead. He had no time to react and could only widen his eyes instinctively.
An aged voice rang out within his Sea of Consciousness.
"With the sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; none in this world compare to me. I never expected that this old man would still retain a trace of his remnant soul."
The gray currents condensed into a gray pillar the size of a soybean.
It settled silently within Xu Tinglan's Sea of Consciousness.
Holy shit!
Xu Tinglan had never dreamed that Electrolux would descend upon Douluo Continent more than a year early—and attach himself to him!
Could it be that this remnant soul had happened to remain on Douluo Continent all this time?
And had been drawn here by this fusion energy?
It was just that the current situation had not been caused by the fusion of Huo Gua and Tian Meng, but by the fusion of the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow.
Excitement appeared on Xu Tinglan's face as he clenched both fists.
"Cheat, come to me!"
"Had Heaven not given birth to me, Xu Tinglan, the path of cheats would have been an eternal night!"
"Hahaha!"
It would have been a lie to say he was not excited.
Electrolux was an excellent teacher. Besides, with Elder Yi around, he could cosplay as the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son whenever he wanted!
That woman, Ye Xishui,
valued the inheritance of the cult even more than her own chastity, love, or life.
Xu Tinglan could no longer suppress the grin on his face.
Thinking of that embarrassing moment just now, he did not feel the slightest discomfort.
He simply felt far too good!
