Dancing Far North Lifeforms

"Qingfeng, what do you think of that Icefield Wolf?"

"Though these Snow Bears are immensely strong, they're too dim-witted. They really don't suit your temperament, Qingfeng."

"This Arctic Snow Rabbit is rather cute. Qingfeng, are you hungry? In this Ice Snow World, roasting a rabbit would be nice and warming."

As they traveled through the inner region of the Far North, thousand-year Soul Beasts began to appear. However, they were sparsely scattered rather than densely packed; sometimes they had to travel several miles before encountering one, nowhere near the density of Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After confirming that Mu En could defeat a seven-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, Su Qingfeng was relieved. He knew there were several terrifying beings within the Far North, but he could not make that clear to Mu En.

How could a newbie like him possibly know anything about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?

(`)

After wandering around the Far North for most of the day, Su Qingfeng's skin had gone stiff from the cold.

They had encountered quite a few thousand-year Soul Beasts, but Mu En had passed on every one of them.

His reason was that every Soul Ring and Soul Skill was important and difficult to replace, and none of them suited Su Qingfeng's temperament.

Mu En wanted to find Su Qingfeng a rare, precious top-tier juvenile beast carrying an Ancient Bloodline!

"Hungry? Time to eat."

Mu En really did catch and slaughter that Arctic Snow Rabbit.

Su Qingfeng was somewhat curious. "It's dozens of degrees below zero here, and we don't even have firewood. How are you going to cook it?"

"Hehe, Qingfeng, learn well. Elements have many wonderful uses. You don't necessarily need firewood to make a fire, and you don't necessarily need flames to roast food."

A faint radiance suddenly spread from Mu En's body. "Remember, your teacher's martial soul is the Radiant Holy Dragon, which commands the power of light!"

Something miraculous happened.

The light in the air was drawn forth by Mu En and gathered into a single mass, shining down upon the Arctic Snow Rabbit.

The snow-white fur was burned away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the moisture in the rabbit meat evaporated completely, and the aroma of roasted meat spread through the air. Even temperatures dozens of degrees below zero could not freeze that fragrance.

At last, a change appeared in Su Qingfeng's eyes.

Mu En noticed it and nearly cried: Other disciples show filial devotion to their teachers, but why is it so hard for me just to please my disciple?!

Su Qingfeng's face emerged from within his sweater. The cold had flushed his cheeks red, and even his eyebrows were coated in a layer of frost. Gusts of icy air slipped inside, making Su Qingfeng shiver.

At that moment, a mysterious power suddenly emanated from Su Qingfeng's body. A realm emerged beneath his feet. Immortal Mist swirled through the air, dragons soared and phoenixes danced, and Auspicious Cranes appeared, driving all the cold beyond the realm's boundaries.

At that moment, Su Qingfeng was like a Child of Ice sitting cross-legged within a glacier. His flawless features melded with the frost and the realm, transforming into snowflakes that drifted down, making him appear dreamlike and unreal.

"It was an instinctive release of his realm. And with only ten levels of Soul Power, he can perfectly withstand temperatures dozens of degrees below zero. It seems we still have much to explore regarding this Immortal Realm."

Even Mu En's eyes widened at the sight.

He had lived for so long and weathered countless storms, yet this was the first time he had encountered such a realm. The moment it fully manifested, Su Qingfeng seemed to possess the bloodline of someone from the heavens—like a god, yet also an immortal—making even Mu En feel a measure of reverence.

Handsome. This kid was way too handsome!

Every time I see him, it's like seeing my younger self. I have to give my younger self the best life possible!

Once the realm emerged, it was unmatched in the world.

Su Qingfeng felt as though a spring breeze had washed over him, and the cold in his body was almost entirely gone.

At the same time, the appearance of the Immortal Realm disturbed even the Far North Lifeforms lurking nearby, slumbering in caves and beneath the snow.

They awoke one after another, drawn by the power of that realm.

Snow Treasure Rats burrowed holes through the snow, poking out their fluffy white heads and looking around.

Icefield Wolves stood atop snowy mountains and howled, yet their cries were not frightening. Instead, they sounded like obedient little dogs.

Even an Emperor Penguin with cultivation as high as nine thousand years joined in, flapping its wings in a goofy dance. The entire atmosphere of the icy world changed.

They let out their own pleasant cries, seemingly trying to show goodwill toward Su Qingfeng.

At first, Mu En thought these Soul Beasts might mean Su Qingfeng harm, but he soon realized otherwise.

These Far North Lifeforms held almost no malice. All of them were drawn to Su Qingfeng and wanted to get close to him. They each tried their best to display their finest side, making sweeter sounds than the other Soul Beasts in the hope of becoming Su Qingfeng's companion.

A bold guess arose in Mu En's heart. He suspected it was not entirely because of Su Qingfeng's appearance and realm; it might also be related to his martial soul.

Before this, they had already learned that Su Qingfeng's Extreme Star Martial Soul could cultivate nine ultimate attributes. Before absorbing an attribute, his Extreme Star remained in an inactive state.

Could these Soul Beasts be hoping to become Su Qingfeng's Soul Rings?

No, no. What Soul Beast would willingly become a Soul Ring? That was the price of its life.

Could it be that Soul Beasts and humans shared the same standards of beauty?

Did they also think Su Qingfeng was ridiculously handsome?!

Or did Su Qingfeng possess some kind of Soul Beast affinity?

Even Mu En was completely dumbfounded.

For quite a while afterward, the Soul Beasts of the Far North kept dancing. More and more Soul Beasts gathered nearby, all just to catch a glimpse of Su Qingfeng.

Even natural enemy Soul Beasts cast aside their hostility at this moment, refraining from killing one another. It was truly a miraculous sight.

After eating their fill, Mu En set off again with Su Qingfeng, heading deeper into the Far North.

Along the way, Mu En unexpectedly discovered that even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been drawn over by Su Qingfeng.

Even Mu En, with all his vast experience, had the illusion that Su Qingfeng was the Child of Ice—the Ice God's Son!

With that, Su Qingfeng's First Soul Ring was no longer a problem. He could choose freely.

Emperor Penguins, Snow Treasures, Icefield Wolves, Arctic Dragons... all were Soul Beasts with exceptional bloodlines. In the eyes of certain Ice Attribute soul masters, they were all rare treasures. Many soul masters' third and fourth soul rings could not even reach such a bloodline quality.

Under normal circumstances, Mu En might have felt that a First Soul Ring of this quality was already excellent.

After all, the First Soul Ring was generally a soul master's weakest. It was only useful during the early stages; later on, it could basically only be taken home to entertain the children.

This was also an unavoidable problem for soul masters. Even Mu En was no exception.

But now, Mu En felt that they could keep looking, because King-Level lifeforms had gradually begun to appear.

Icefield Wolf King!

Snow Treasure King!

Arctic Rabbit Queen!

Ice and Snow Sprite King!

Every one of them was an Ice Attribute Soul Beast more than ten thousand years old!

Mu En stared at Su Qingfeng in utter shock!

Su Qingfeng spread his hands, indicating that having too much charm was not his fault. He was helpless too!

Meanwhile, in the heart of the Far North, a peerless figure only three parts inferior to Su Qingfeng awakened amid the swirling ice and snow.

She heard the cheers of the Far North Lifeforms at this very moment!
