"Pure Ice Sprite, what happened outside? I sensed a special aura. It seems there is a place even more suitable for life than the Far North."
Snow Empress awakened deep within the Far North Core and summoned the Pure Ice Sprite born from pure Ice Element power, asking about what had happened outside.
She appeared as a peerlessly elegant young girl, blessed with the beauty of heaven and earth. Her long, snow-white hair fell from behind her head all the way to her feet, while her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as though they could see through everything in the world.
Her slender, delicate body was flawless. Though her long white dress bore not the slightest decoration, it made her seem so pure, so breathtakingly beautiful—like a cold plum blossom amidst winter snow, standing apart from all others.
The Pure Ice Sprite and the power of ice and snow swirled around her. The sight was simply too beautiful.
The Pure Ice Sprite whispered into Snow Empress's ear in a language belonging solely to them, one that humans could hardly understand. Its meaning was roughly:
"We sensed a place exceptionally suitable for carrying Ice Element power. That place is very comfortable. If nothing unexpected has happened, the Child of Ice must have appeared. That is why everyone is so happy—they awoke from their slumber and began dancing together~"
"The Child of Ice?"
Snow Empress stepped out of her world. She too wanted to see what the Child of Ice who had stirred up all the Ice Elements of the Far North looked like.
As Snow Empress stepped forth, all the ice and snow elements at the heart of the Far North began to dance, spiraling continuously as heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
Mu En also noticed the unusual phenomenon at the Far North Core, and a sense of danger rose within him.
"Qingfeng, pick a thousand-year soul beast. We'll capture it and head to the outskirts to absorb it. There may be a mutation here."
Even Mu En could not remain calm as he watched the wind and snow churn within the Far North Core.
Could it be that the Far North's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was truly about to appear?
Qingfeng, that Prophet's Mouth! It would have been fine if he had not asked, but the moment he did, it really happened.
"Even you can't handle it?"
"Ahem, of course your teacher can handle it. But Soul Masters cannot rely on their strength to do whatever they please. Sometimes, it is best not to forcefully interfere too much in the internal affairs of the soul beast world, or else we will disrupt their evolutionary chain."
"Especially a strong person like me. If I do not act, then fine—but once I do, I fear hundreds or thousands of soul beasts will perish. That would also be a loss for the entire Soul Master world."
Mu En explained.
Su Qingfeng nodded as well. Even the Dragon God Douluo advocated leaving. As someone with only ten levels of Soul Power, he certainly could not go throw his life away.
After all, Su Qingfeng knew that soul beasts were very dangerous!
The soul beasts of the Far North around them might seem friendly, but Su Qingfeng had seen their power. For example:
The Icefield Wolf's three sharp claws could easily pierce through ice, and a single swipe could also penetrate an enemy's body, glinting with chilling light.
The Emperor Penguin looked beautiful, adorably foolish yet carrying an air of royalty. But when it opened its mouth, one could see teeth like steel saws within. Even hard bones could be ground into powder.
There was also a rare species of the Far North that was ice-white all over, save for an emerald-green tail. Not only could it pierce armor and iron plating, but it also contained deadly poison—the Ice Jade Scorpion.
That was far too terrifying!
Su Qingfeng could only force himself to remain calm. The unmatched aura of the Immortal Realm he exuded made it impossible for others to see the worry in his heart.
In the end, Su Qingfeng and Mu En chose an Emperor Penguin, an Arctic Dragon, an Icefield Wolf, and an Ice Jade Scorpion, all around a thousand years old. Just as they were about to leave—
Snow Empress came walking over the glacier, stepping upon the snow. Within the Far North, her gaze and senses could travel an immense distance.
They eventually settled upon Su Qingfeng and Mu En.
That old human gave her a mysterious, unfathomable feeling. He was very powerful!
As for the other one, his surroundings seemed like heaven on earth, with living creatures dancing around him. When Snow Empress focused her gaze, she finally saw his face. His sword-like brows, starry eyes, and unparalleled, peerless appearance immediately stirred her heart.
How could such a beautiful person exist in this world?
Snow Empress herself was very beautiful. She had once seen her own appearance reflected upon the ice, and she had also seen humans who came to the Far North to explore and hunt soul beasts. Those people did not even possess one percent of her beauty.
Yet today, she had encountered someone even more beautiful than herself. Both his appearance and temperament made her heart pound.
Amidst the ice and snow, he was like a messenger sent by the heavens.
Calling him a Child of God was no longer fitting, for soul beasts did not hold much fondness for gods. Describing him as the Immortal Realm, the Child of Ice, or the Miracle Star in Snow suited Snow Empress's feelings far better.
Naturally, she was a Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven and earth. When she came into existence, she had been alone. Used to solitude and coldness, she did not understand what it meant for one's heart to stir, nor what emotions were. But there was one thing she could be certain of.
She very much wanted to walk to his side.
Then, she crossed space, transforming into a mass of ice and snow before descending fifty meters in front of Su Qingfeng.
Mu En stepped forward, blocking Su Qingfeng, and said calmly:
"Qingfeng, step back. This one is no simple opponent."
"Alright!"
Su Qingfeng retreated three steps. Then, the peerlessly elegant young girl emerged barefoot from the ice and snow, every movement of hers drawing upon the power of ice and snow.
Su Qingfeng inwardly cried out in alarm. This was probably either the Ice Empress or the Snow Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North!
Mu En also focused himself. Though he did not retreat even one step, he had already sensed the other party's strength.
The next moment, nine Soul Rings appeared beneath Mu En's feet. Their configuration was enough to astonish anyone: yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Behind the hunched old man appeared a sacred giant dragon, its entire body white and gold, every scale radiating dazzling light.
"This old man is here! No matter who you are, don't even think of harming my disciple in the slightest!"
Mu En snorted. Though he usually looked as though he were at death's door, in battle, his figure appeared so tall and imposing.
"Powerful human soul masters, please lower your guard. I mean no harm. I came for him."
Snow Empress's voice was cool and ethereal, but when she looked at Su Qingfeng, her icy face melted like snow on a plateau, and she smiled!
"What do you want?"
Mu En did not dare let down his guard. An attack from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—even if it merely grazed Su Qingfeng—would kill him.
"I want to see your martial soul. Just look at it, nothing more. Is that alright?"
Snow Empress looked at Su Qingfeng. His face made her smile, and her smile caused the Far North Snow Mist Flowers to bloom.
It was a plant unique to the Far North, and also food for many soul beasts living there. Ice-blue in color, it bloomed with dazzling splendor.
Su Qingfeng glanced at Mu En. Only after Mu En nodded did Su Qingfeng summon his martial soul.
Vast stars manifested behind him, and an ownerless Polar Star still awaited its master.
Enhanced by his martial soul, Su Qingfeng's charm rose once more. Any intelligent creature would be captivated by him.
His looks were off the charts!
Without the slightest hesitation, Snow Empress transformed into a mass of snowy-white mist. A terrifying domain appeared as she flew straight into Su Qingfeng's Polar Star.
Mu En was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he stomped his feet wildly. "Damn it! Didn't you say you were only looking and not going in?!"
