"This is it." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice lowered, with a hint of undetectable tension, "There is a naturally formed ice cave under this ice crack, and I can sense that there is a Ice Jade Scorpion hidden inside. Its aura is very cautious, and its cultivation level will not exceed 60,000 years, but will not be less than 40,000 years, and should be around 50,000 years. Moreover, its mental power is very active, and it already has a lot of wisdom."
Huo Yuhao squatted down at the edge of the widest ice crack and glanced down.
Below the crack is a dark blue space, and you can vaguely see the ice cones hanging upside down on the ice wall, as well as a pool of icy water with a faint light in the depths.
The water surface was calm and calm, but Spiritual Detection of Huo Yuhao told him that there was something under the water, a living body. The fluctuations of Soul Power were strong and restrained, as if the whole winter was stuffed into a transparent cocoon.
"Let's get started." He said.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power surges out from Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, flowing along his meridians to his limbs and bones.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, Second Soul Ring lit up under his feet, and the purple light was particularly eye-catching on the ice field. He started to run Simulation Soul Skill.
Simulation was far more difficult than he expected.
The aura of Ice Empress is too complex. It is not a pure ice attribute Soul Power, but Ultimate Ice.
In the first few seconds, nothing happened. The ice water under the ice crack was still calm, without even a ripple.
Then, the water surface moved.
It was not a wave, but a deeper tremor that penetrated upward from the bottom of the water. Then, a green figure slowly rose from the ice water.
It was a Ice Jade Scorpion that was over three meters in size. It was covered with a dark green carapace. Ice crystal-like textures were flowing on the surface of the carapace, and each texture was emitting a cold light.
Its scorpion pincers opened, and the serrations on the inside of the jaws reflected a deadly cold light in the ice water. The scorpion tail stood upright, and the poisonous hook at the tip of the tail hung in mid-air. A drop of green venom condensed on the tip of the hook. The chill emitted by the drop of venom made the surrounding air begin to liquefy. Six scorpion feet stepped on the water, and the ice water automatically condensed into solid ice under its feet. Every step it took was an ice lotus.
Fifty thousand years of cultivation, Ice Jade Scorpion.
Its eyes were simultaneously staring at Huo Yuhao above the crack. The first glance was of inspection, the second glance was of doubt, and the third glance, Huo Yuhao knew what it saw.
It saw the aura of Ice Empress, permeating from that weak human body, precise and strong, and every detail was exactly the same as the Ice Empress it knew.
Huo Yuhao did not flinch. He increased the output of Simulation, and at the same time Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year mental power surged out like a tide, covering Ice Jade Scorpion's perception.
It's not forced mental suppression, which Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cannot do in its current state of remnant soul, but a gentle and strongly suggestive guidance, like repeatedly chanting an unquestionable name in its ears.
Ice Jade Scorpion, who has cultivated for 50,000 years, let out a low neigh. It was not an aggressive neigh, but a confused and tentative neigh.
It rose slowly from the cracks in the ice, its dark green carapace shining with a cold luster in the gray sky. The scorpion's tail swayed behind it, with a very small amplitude, revealing a wavering between toughness and obedience.
Huo Yuhao spoke.
"Your king has left." His voice was not loud, but every word clearly penetrated the cold wind and fell into Ice Jade Scorpion's perception. "Before she left, she directed me to find you."
Ice Jade Scorpion's scorpion tail paused. His eyes shrank at the same time, like a mirror reflecting the same question at the same time.
It did sense the departure of Ice Empress. On the day Ice Empress was sacrificed, the whole Core Area of the Far North was shaking. Of course it knew.
But it didn't know where Ice Empress had gone, nor why this human had the residual aura of Ice Empress. Confusion spread in its Soul Fire, preventing it from attacking or retreating immediately.
"Your king said before leaving that among Core Area of the Far North's Ice Jade Scorpion, there is one with a cultivation level of 50,000 years, which is her most promising descendant." Huo Yuhao continued to speak, and every word was blessed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power. With an unquestionable certainty, "She said that if this Ice Jade Scorpion is willing to follow her footsteps, it will have the same opportunity as her, leave Far North, go to the human world, and fight side by side with a Soul Master who is worthy of her."
Ice Jade Scorpion's scorpion pincers opened slightly and then closed slowly. Soul Fire was beating in its eyes, and the frequency was getting faster and faster.
It is thinking that Soul Beast, who has cultivated for 50,000 years, already has considerable wisdom. It can understand the meaning of this passage and can also feel the authenticity of the Ice Empress aura on Huo Yuhao. But it needs more evidence, a proof that is weighty enough.
Huo Yuhao releases another layer of Simulation for the second Soul Skill.
Ice Jade Scorpion's body shook violently. It felt that the breath was not fake, not an illusion, not an illusion forged with mental power. It was the real breath of Ice Empress, and every detail was accurate to the level of soul fluctuation. In Ice Jade Scorpion's knowledge, only Ice Empress himself could release this kind of breath.
What it doesn't know is that this is a reenactment of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year memory, plus the perfect reproduction of Huo Yuhao Simulation Soul Skill. The superposition of the two makes it more real than any illusion.
"I do." A hoarse, intermittent voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. It was the spiritual voice transmission of Ice Jade Scorpion. The tone was rough and jerky, like a mute speaking for the first time.
With 50,000 years of cultivation, it already has the ability to communicate spiritually, but it is rarely used. In Far North, it does not need to communicate with any living creature.
"But," Ice Jade Scorpion's voice paused, "You have to promise me something."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "You say."
"Don't erase my will." Soul Fire of Ice Jade Scorpion burned quietly in the dark green pupils, "I am willing to give you my power, but I want to exist as an independent soul and live in your Sea of Consciousness. Like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, I will retain my consciousness and memory. I want to see the human world and where the king went."
This time, it was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm who took over the conversation. "Deal. Brother's Sea of Consciousness is big enough. You are here, so you have company."
Ice Jade Scorpion's Soul Fire jumped suddenly. It heard the voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the aura belonging to the million-year-old Ice Silkworm ancestor made it instinctively feel familiar. It was silent for a moment, and then made a final decision.
Dark green light erupted from Ice Jade Scorpion's body, dyeing the entire ice crack into a green abyss. Ice Jade Scorpion's body slowly decomposed in the light, turning into the purest ice source energy, pouring into Huo Yuhao's body like a river returning to the sea.
Fifty thousand years Soul Ring, black.
