Shocked Once Again (Trial Period—Please Keep Reading)

Ling Xiao was an Innate Chaos Thunder Spirit, born with an incomparably deep connection to lightning.

If Ling Xiao wanted to comprehend a law, the Law of Lightning was naturally the most suitable for him.

Thus, Ling Xiao held the God-Sealing Platform in one hand while slowly raising the other.

A wisp of purple lightning condensed in Ling Xiao's palm, crackling sharply.

Ling Xiao focused his attention on his palm, trying to sense whether it contained any laws.

Then, he was disappointed.

The lightning Ling Xiao summoned did not contain any laws or rules.

It was merely pure lightning power—natural lightning unaided by laws.

Although Ling Xiao was an Innate Thunder Spirit, he had yet to comprehend the Law of Lightning.

Therefore, the lightning he released naturally did not carry the power of laws.

Ling Xiao slowly withdrew the lightning from his palm, his brows knitting slightly.

It seemed that comprehending laws was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Seeing Ling Xiao sink into deep thought, the Ice and Snow Emperors did not disturb him.

They simply sat quietly to the side, watching Ling Xiao fiddle with the God-Sealing Platform.

The Snow Emperor's expression remained as calm as ever, though a trace of curiosity glimmered in her eyes.

The Ice Empress, on the other hand, looked thoroughly unimpressed. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and her twin ponytails swayed gently.

After a while, when she saw that Ling Xiao had stopped thinking, the Snow Emperor finally spoke.

"How was it? Have you figured out what this thing is?"

Ling Xiao came back to his senses.

He naturally knew that this was the God-Sealing Platform, but he did not know how to use it.

The original novel only mentioned that it had sealed the Snow Emperor, without describing its method of use in detail.

Still, Ling Xiao was extremely curious about that wisp of sealing power. If he could understand its principles, it would be of enormous help to him.

Ling Xiao shook his head in disappointment.

"Not yet."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Empress wore an expression as if that were only natural.

"What's so strange about not being able to figure it out? Even Xue'er and I can't make sense of this thing."

The Ice Empress sounded somewhat smug. "Do you really think you can figure it out?"

Ling Xiao replied somewhat unconvinced, "Who says I can't?"

"Auntie, I can sense that this thing contains a wisp of sealing power!"

The moment those words left his mouth, the Ice Crystal Palace fell into deathly silence.

The Ice and Snow Emperors froze at the same time.

"Y-You... what did you say?"

The Ice Empress's voice trembled slightly.

Her emerald eyes widened round, and the indifference on her face was instantly replaced by shock.

Ling Xiao answered in confusion:

"What's wrong, Auntie? This thing really does contain a wisp of sealing power."

The Ice Empress abruptly turned to the Snow Emperor.

Even on the Snow Emperor's cold and aloof face, a clear trace of surprise now appeared.

One had to know that even beings as powerful as the Ice Empress and Snow Emperor had not sensed the Law of Ice.

Among the countless soul beasts:

Only the Beast God, Di Tian, could be considered a true master of laws.

The eight-hundred-ninety-thousand-year-old Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King had relied on the dragon clan's purest bloodline power.

He comprehended the laws of destruction and darkness, becoming the universally acknowledged strongest among soul beasts.

Although the Evil Emperor could borrow laws to wield spiritual and spacetime power, that was only borrowing them. It did not count as true mastery.

The Evil Emperor could use the power of laws, but he had not understood them at their root.

As for the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

As one half of the Dragon God's incarnation, she was born commanding the laws of the seven elements.

That was an innate talent and could not be compared on the same level.

The two Emperors did not know of the Silver Dragon King's existence, but they understood Di Tian and the Evil Emperor's level very well.

Yet today, Ling Xiao—

A little thing that had been born less than half a year ago—actually claimed that he had sensed sealing power?

The Ice Empress and Snow Emperor exchanged a glance, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

If the Snow Emperor broke through to seven hundred thousand years and comprehended the Law of Ice, that would still be normal.

But what about Ling Xiao?

How long had he been born? How long had he cultivated? And he was already saying that he had sensed sealing power?

And besides...

Ling Xiao was a lightning-attributed innate spirit. Shouldn't he have sensed the Law of Lightning first?

Why had he sensed sealing power? They were entirely different fields!

The Snow Emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and a rare seriousness entered her voice.

"Little thing."

"You say you sensed sealing power. Why didn't you sense the Law of Lightning first?"

After hearing that, Ling Xiao thought seriously for a moment before scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Mom, well..."

"I was only focused on improving my cultivation before, so I never thought about laws."

Ling Xiao sounded somewhat embarrassed.

He had always been busy increasing his cultivation and had never considered comprehending laws.

Even the concept of "laws" had only occurred to him after coming into contact with the God-Sealing Platform.

After hearing Ling Xiao say this, the Ice and Snow Emperors were once again left speechless.

"..."

The Snow Emperor remained silent for a long time.

She lowered her gaze to Ling Xiao, all sorts of complex emotions flickering in her ice-blue eyes.

There was surprise, curiosity, and an indescribable trace of pride.

The Snow Emperor softly said, "Little thing, just what is your background?"

Ling Xiao gave an innocent smile. "I'm Mom's child!"

Looking at Ling Xiao's smile, the Snow Emperor shook her head helplessly.

"Forget it. No matter where you come from, you are my child."

The Snow Emperor rubbed Ling Xiao's head.

The three chatted casually for a while longer.

During their conversation, Ling Xiao learned something that surprised him.

"Mom, how long was I unconscious?"

"Three months."

The Snow Emperor answered calmly.

Ling Xiao's heart sank slightly. Three months was enough time for many things to happen.

He quickly calculated the timeline in his mind...

Three months.

Huo Yuhao had left the White Tiger Duke's Estate, and Sky Dream Iceworm had become his first soul ring.

Electrolux had entered his spiritual sea, and Tang God-King's plans had fully begun.

Wang Dong had enrolled while disguised as a boy, and the dog-training diary... had begun to be written.

Ling Xiao's brows furrowed slightly.

The plot of the original novel had officially begun, yet he was still trapped in the Extreme North.

He had to act as soon as possible.

His most urgent task was to obtain the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

As long as he acquired that Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ice and Snow Emperors' heavenly tribulations could be resolved with ease.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head and said to the Snow Emperor:

"Mom, let's leave the Extreme North and search for the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow!"

Upon hearing Ling Xiao's proposal, the Ice Empress reacted most intensely.

She leaped up in excitement.

The twin ponytails atop her head swayed wildly, fully revealing how excited she was.

A glimmer shone in her eyes as a long-suppressed desire could finally be fulfilled.

"Good! Let's get out there already! Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, here we come!"

The Snow Emperor, however, was much calmer. She turned her gaze toward Ling Xiao in her arms.
