Snow Emperor's Far-Sighted Plans

Ling Xiao and Ice Empress both nodded. Snow Emperor immediately continued.

"To raise the overall strength of the Extreme North, the key still lies with the little one."

Ling Xiao could not help but freeze at those words. "Hm? Why do you say that, Mom?"

Snow Emperor reached out and stroked Ling Xiao's head, her tone carrying a trace of warm motherly affection.

"Because your origins are mysterious and powerful, and your cultivation rises incredibly quickly."

"You are the only variable. So, we must take you into account."

Hearing Snow Emperor's words, Ice Empress nodded in agreement.

Because Ling Xiao truly was terrifying.

He had been born only a few months ago, yet his cultivation had already reached one hundred and fifty thousand years.

Such speed was unheard of in the entire history of the Douluo Continent.

The Ten Great Fierce Beasts had gone through long ages to obtain their current formidable strength.

But what about Ling Xiao?

In just a few short months, he had successfully reached one hundred and fifty thousand years of cultivation.

At this rate, what level would his cultivation reach if he were given a few more years?

Five hundred thousand years? One million years? No soul beast knew where his limit lay.

Ice Empress continued, "So, Xue'er, what are you thinking?"

"My plan is..."

"After keeping enough Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow for us to break through our bottlenecks, we will give the rest to A-Tai and Xiaobai."

Ice Empress was slightly stunned.

"A-Tai and Xiaobai?"

"Yes."

Snow Emperor nodded earnestly.

"First, let Xiaobai break through to two hundred thousand years, allowing the little one to absorb lightning from the heavenly tribulation and rapidly raise his cultivation."

"Although A-Tai cannot break through to three hundred thousand years for now, we cannot favor one over the other, so it should receive some as well."

By the time Snow Emperor finished, Ling Xiao and Ice Empress instantly understood her intentions.

It was a tightly linked plan.

First, Xiaobai would be helped through its tribulation, then Ice Empress, and finally Snow Emperor.

With these three heavenly tribulations arranged, Ling Xiao's strength could rapidly reach its peak.

Three heavenly tribulations, three transformations—his cultivation would soar at a terrifying rate.

Snow Emperor then continued.

"Then come the heavenly tribulations for the two of us. We must maximize the little one's usefulness."

Snow Emperor's method was extremely reasonable.

Ling Xiao would gradually adapt to the enhancement brought by heavenly tribulations, allowing him to continuously grow through the process.

If he were made to devour Snow Emperor's heavenly tribulation right from the start, it might lead to unimaginable consequences.

By proceeding step by step, Ling Xiao could gain the greatest benefits from each heavenly tribulation while minimizing the risks.

Ice Empress was so shocked that she could not speak. As expected, Xue'er was smarter than she was.

Ice Empress admitted that she could never have come up with such an interlocking, carefully calculated plan.

Snow Emperor had not only considered how to distribute the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, but also Ling Xiao's path of growth.

As well as the overall rise in the Extreme North's strength and the external threats they might face in the future.

Snow Emperor's far-sightedness truly made her worthy of being the foremost Heavenly King of the Extreme North.

At that moment, none of the three dared imagine it.

If Ling Xiao successfully absorbed all three heavenly tribulations, what level would his strength reach?

One hundred and fifty thousand years? Three hundred thousand years? Five hundred thousand years? Or perhaps even higher?

As long as everything went smoothly, even if they faced the Great Star Dou Forest, the Extreme North would have the strength to fight.

After hearing Snow Emperor's arrangements, Ling Xiao compared the gap between the two sides in his mind.

Great Star Dou Forest's side:

Di Tian, the eight-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the publicly acknowledged strongest existence in the soul beast world.

Bi Ji, the five-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Emerald Swan, possessed the strongest healing ability in the Great Star Dou Forest.

Myriad Demon King, the five-hundred-and-thirty-thousand-year Demon-Eyed Tree, whose intelligence network had long spread across the entire continent.

Xiong Jun, the four-hundred-and-seventy-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the most destructive being in the Great Star Dou Forest.

Red King, the three-hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Hound, responsible for ensuring the safety of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Zi Ji, the three-hundred-thousand-year Hell Dragon King, a capable dragon clan assistant under Di Tian.

Yao Ling, the two-hundred-and-thirty-thousand-year Myriad Demon Spirit, a spiritual-type soul beast skilled in mental attacks.

Extreme North's side:

Snow Emperor, the seven-hundred-thousand-year Ice Heaven Snow Maiden, the absolute ruler of the Extreme North.

Ice Empress, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the second ruler of the Extreme North.

Titan Snow Demon King, whose cultivation still needed to be assessed, was estimated to be around two hundred and eighty thousand years.

Ice Bear King, about to break through to two hundred thousand years, the fourth ruler of the Extreme North.

Ling Xiao himself, whose strength was still unknown. After absorbing three heavenly tribulations, his potential would be immeasurable.

Although there was still a certain gap between the two sides, the environment of the Extreme North would provide considerable advantages to the soul beasts of the Extreme North.

Likewise, the environment of the Extreme North would weaken the soul beasts of the Great Star Dou Forest.

The northern environment would allow the Ice and Snow Emperors to unleash their strength to the fullest.

After making the comparison.

Although the gap between the two sides still existed, it had already narrowed considerably.

At the very least, they now had the confidence to negotiate and would not simply be at the mercy of the Great Star Dou Forest.

All three understood this very clearly.

However, Ling Xiao would not be satisfied with that.

Relying on negotiations was far from enough. He had to possess sufficient strength to deal with threats.

Ling Xiao had personally said that he would protect Mama Snow Emperor and Auntie Ice Empress.

Protection did not rely on negotiations. Protection relied on absolute overwhelming strength.

Therefore...

Ling Xiao looked farther ahead.

The legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—the mandatory twin-flavor hotpot for any transmigrator.

A vast number of immortal-grade herbs grew there, every one of them an incomparably precious heavenly treasure.

If they could obtain those immortal herbs.

The strength of the Extreme North would rise to another level, and Ling Xiao's strength could increase once more.

However, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might conceal a strand of Tang God-King's divine sense.

Although it was not Tang God-King's true body, its strength was still not to be underestimated.

With Ling Xiao's current strength, facing that strand of divine sense alone would be no different from smashing an egg against a rock.

Therefore, Ling Xiao still had to wait—wait until the Ice and Snow Emperors broke through.

At that time, if the three of them joined forces, perhaps they could fight Tang God-King's divine sense.

Most importantly, Ling Xiao could already sense the existence of the laws of heaven and earth.

He planned to use these three heavenly tribulations to properly comprehend the laws contained within heavenly lightning.

Heavenly tribulations were punishments delivered by the Heavenly Dao.

Beyond their pure lightning power, they also contained laws that suppressed and annihilated life.

If Ling Xiao could comprehend even a trace of those laws, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Early morning.

When the three returned to the Extreme North, Snow Emperor immediately ordered A-Tai and Xiaobai to come.

Upon receiving the message, the two soul beasts rushed over at top speed.

A-Tai and Xiaobai had already shrunk their bodies and stood respectfully before the gates of the Ice Crystal Palace.

Two deep voices rang out at the same time.

"Heavenly King."

"Mom."

Snow Emperor did not say much.

She took out the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow and handed it separately to the two soul beasts before her.

Snow Emperor decided the amount she took out, and Ling Xiao's group knew that as well.

As for how many pieces there were in total.

Though A-Tai and Xiaobai were brawny and simple-minded, they were not foolish enough to court death.
