As she spoke, the arrogance in Ice Empress's eyes faded, replaced by a deep sense of longing and anticipation.
"As long as I haven't shamed him, that is enough."
"Sister, do you think... where could he be now?"
"If he is still on the Douluo Continent, surely he would recognize us if he saw the Sky Screen?"
Hearing Ice Empress's words, a flash of melancholy and hope crossed Snow Empress's beautiful eyes.
"With his god-like existence, if he does not wish for us to find him, we could exhaust every means and still not find a single trace."
"However, as long as he is still in this world, he will certainly see our performance."
The two peerless empresses of the Far North looked up at that moment, their eyes brimming with expectation.
Outside Heaven Dou City, at Rainbow Academy.
Beside the Pool of Life.
Long Yun sat on a white jade chair, watching the information on the Sky Screen, his expression as calm as ever.
"Eight hundred thousand years, ranked fifth."
"Bing'er, this girl, her strength has improved quite rapidly."
The corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
Hearing his mutterings, Xiao Bai, standing to the side, blinked her eyes curiously.
"Master, do you know this Ice Empress?"
Long Yun nodded lightly, his gaze distant, his thoughts seemingly drifting back tens of thousands of years.
"I do."
"Back when I traveled the Douluo Continent, having nothing better to do, I took a trip to the Far North."
"Deep within the frozen ice plains, I accidentally encountered two little ones being hunted by high-level soul beasts."
"Back then, Xue'er and Bing'er had only just broken through to one hundred thousand years of cultivation, and when faced with danger, they only knew how to foolishly fight head-on."
"I saved them in passing, and these two little ones were quite clever; after being rescued, they kept circling around me, trying to please me in every way they could."
Long Yun spoke in a low voice, his tone tinged with nostalgia.
"During that time, I settled down in the Far North, watching them cultivate every day and occasionally offering a bit of guidance."
"That feeling was much like raising two daughters."
"Later, once they had established a firm footing in the Far North and possessed the ability to protect themselves, I chose to leave."
Listening to Long Yun's account, Xiao Bai's large eyes were filled with envy.
"I truly envy Snow Empress and Ice Empress, being able to receive your personal instruction, Master."
Long Yun merely smiled, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.
Just then, the images on the Sky Screen finally began to shift.
It showed vast, raging blizzards; the howling wind and bone-chilling cold were transmitted through the Sky Screen to everyone's senses.
Two slightly youthful, yet still stunningly beautiful figures appeared in the frame.
It was Snow Empress and a much weaker Ice Empress during their one hundred thousand-year cultivation period.
Standing opposite them was a massive ice giant, radiating a terrifying, frigid aura.
[Thirty thousand years of cultivation, the former overlord of the Far North—Extreme Cold Snow King.]
In the scene, the two women, in order to seize territory in the Far North, brazenly challenged this veteran thirty-thousand-year overlord.
This sight immediately sparked a wave of exclamations in the Sky Screen's live comments.
"My god! Were these two empresses this daring even at one hundred thousand years?"
"Are the soul beasts of the Far North all this crazy? Daring to challenge the thirty-thousand-year Extreme Cold Snow King at only one hundred thousand years!"
"They truly deserve to be in the top five of the Soul Beast Ranking; this ferocity in battle is genuinely astonishing."
The battle in the image was incredibly brutal.
Ice and snow flew, soul skills collided, and the entire ice plain trembled violently.
In the end, after a world-shaking struggle, the Extreme Cold Snow King let out a roar of unwillingness, its massive body collapsing and dissipating into endless ice dust.
But Snow Empress and Ice Empress had also paid a heavy price.
They were covered in wounds, their blood staining the white snow red.
Ice Empress, having exhausted her final bit of Soul Power, fell into a coma.
Snow Empress, barely supporting her own body, held the unconscious Ice Empress, her beautiful face etched with despair and sorrow.
In that harsh and cruel world, severely wounded and near death, they could become food for other soul beasts at any moment.
Watching that heart-wrenching scene on the screen, the live comments could not help but sigh with emotion.
"As expected of a soul beast on the ranking, this combat power is terrifyingly strong; it actually managed to pull the three-hundred-thousand-year Snow King off its pedestal."
"However, the Ice Empress at that time really did look like nothing more than a pure Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."
"Exactly. The aura on her body, while noble, definitely lacked even a shred of Dragon Clan pressure."
"Then, what kind of heaven-defying opportunity did she encounter later to obtain that 'Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion' bloodline?"
Just as soul masters across the entire continent were filled with confusion and doubt.
On the Sky Screen, the sky, previously shrouded in haze, was suddenly torn apart by a brilliant, dazzling nine-colored light.
Accompanied by a deafening, incomparably noble dragon roar.
A colossal dragon, its entire body shimmering with nine-colored light, slowly poked its head out from the clouds.
The dazzling nine-colored elemental power formed gorgeous rainbows around it, illuminating the frigid ice plains until they looked like a fairyland.
The barrage exploded at this moment.
"It's... that mysterious Nine-Colored Divine Dragon that appeared before!"
"My god, it actually appeared in the Far North as well!"
"It was the one that saved the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and it was the one that snapped the tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign. Now, its figure has appeared in the footage of the Far North again!"
In the scene, the incomparably majestic Nine-Colored Divine Dragon descended onto the ice, transforming into a youth dressed in moon-white robes the moment it landed.
He walked slowly toward the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, looking at the two severely injured little ones, and sighed softly.
The youth raised his hand, nine-colored light swirling as gentle life energy and various elemental powers instantly surged into the two women's bodies.
Under the healing of the nine-colored light, the injuries on the two women healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Ice Empress, who had been unconscious and on the verge of death, also slowly opened her eyes.
When they saw the youth before them, who looked like a god descended to the mortal world, their beautiful eyes were filled with endless shock and fanatical worship.
The subsequent scenes became warm and relaxed.
The youth settled down in the Far North.
The footage displayed snippets of their daily life together.
The two rulers of the Far North, who were aloof and cold as ice to the outside world, were as docile as tame kittens in front of the youth.
The Ice Empress hovered around the youth all day, her emerald green hair swaying as she grabbed the corner of his robe, chattering and acting spoiled.
The Snow Empress watched quietly from the side, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and attachment.
The youth would occasionally pat their heads, casually pointing out the circulation of their Soul Power, and even share with them some Nine-Colored Divine Spring that radiated a sacred aura.
