Snow Empress Token
The Snow Empress looked at the Ice God Pearl, her lips parting slightly, "Strictly speaking, I didn't discover this Divine Tool. It was found by two Titled Douluo who came to the Extreme North for research. They wanted to take it away and almost got into a fight. As a result, after they touched the Ice God Pearl, they were invaded by the cold current within and died from their mental attacks. I can only be considered to have gotten a bargain."
An unclaimed Divine Tool, which killed two Divine Tool Titled Douluo simply by being touched, is quite domineering; an ordinary person really couldn't possess it.
But Huo Yuhao didn't find it strange.
The Ice God Pearl possesses extremely pure energy, being the purest form of ice. The surrounding temperature remains consistently between -200 and -237 degrees Celsius.
For the Ultimate Ice attribute, a temperature below -150 degrees Celsius can be considered the Ultimate, and the temperature around the Ice God Pearl is far below this value. Therefore, the core energy inside, even if not Absolute Zero, is not far off.
Moreover, in Huo Yuhao's memory, the ice attribute energy intensity inside the Ice God Pearl was enough to serve as the core of Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell. Killing two Titled Douluo single-handedly was nothing special.
It's at least better than the original situation where nine Titled Douluo died because of it...
Snow Empress continued, "Researchers have speculated that the Ice God Pearl could be used to create Level 12 Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell. However, the internal energy of this Divine Tool cannot be mobilized through any Soul Tool or Soul Guidance Array, so it has been confirmed as impossible."
"Even disregarding that aspect, it is undoubtedly Divine Tool, and its energy is purely ice-based, making it the most suitable Divine Tool for you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and subconsciously tried to take something out.
But before Huo Yuhao could act, a slender, fair hand gently pressed down on his wrist.
Snow Empress looked at him calmly, the smile that had been there since they met vanished, and without using any power, she inexplicably gave people a sense of pressure.
"It's been a long time, don't be so formal. I don't need it. Although I don't know why you Re-Cultivation, the Ice God Pearl is extremely suitable for you, whether for protection or self-improvement. Please accept it!"
Snow Empress emphasized the last two words.
Huo Yuhao was forced to stop, and his expression became subtle as he recalled what Snow Empress had just said.
I can't return the favor... Hmm, I already owe a lot, and if this continues, won't I just owe even more?
"Yuhao, accept it." The Ice Empress glanced at the Snow Empress, their eyes met, and the Ice Emperor transmitted his voice to her, "After Ten Thousand Years apart, Xue'er is in a good Heaven's Heart. Don't make her angry."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate any longer and put away the Ice God Pearl.
If she doesn't accept it, she feels like she'll get beaten up, the kind where she's ganged up on and can't fight back... Besides, given Snow Empress's current cultivation level, there's really nothing in his possession that could significantly improve her abilities.
He needs to find a gift that the other person can't refuse.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao communicated with the Throne of Seal for a moment, "I passed the test, can I transfer the right to use it?"
Lord of Eternity: "..."
You still want to give the Throne of Seal as a gift?
Dream on!
On the other side, Snow Empress withdrew her hand, her expression softening again. As if remembering something, she whispered, "If you feel bad about it, how about giving me the Tower of Eternity you created?"
Huo Yuhao snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. "That was meant to be a backup plan, a trump card to protect you."
The Tower of Eternity was the last Soul Tool he created Ten Thousand Years Ago. It was the trump card he left for the Snow Empress. It was Level 10 Soul Tool, and the main material was the Ice Pole Divine Crystal unearthed from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave.
Ice Pole Divine Crystal is the hardest and most flexible ice-attribute metal. It appears to be a crystal, but it already possesses the ductility of a metal, making it a top-tier Rare Metal.
Some of the Ice Pole Divine Crystal possess Ice Spirit, intelligence, and Life, making them essentially natural Soul-Forged Metal. Ten Thousand Years Ago ago, they were already top-tier materials, originally intended to be crafted into the Ice Pole War God Armor, but Huo Yuhao didn't use them that way.
The Ice Pole War God Armor... In terms of Battle Armor, it can only be considered Three-Word Battle Armor at most, and it's Battle Armor that can't be nurtured on its own and will automatically become obsolete when it reaches the God Rank. Rather than using it like that, it would be better to keep those Ice Pole Divine Crystal with Ice Spirit and use them after the Battle Armor technology has matured.
Huo Yuhao only took a portion of the Ice Pole Divine Crystal containing Ice Spirit, and used a level 10 Soul Guidance Array, Light Undead Magic, and Power of Space to create the Tower of Eternity and an Ice Pole Divine Sword. He kept some of the remaining Ice Pole Divine Crystal and left some to the Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress's Battle Armor should have contained Ice Pole Divine Crystal.
The Tower of Eternity's greatest function is that it can trigger the backup plan he set up inside the Soul Spirit, preventing the Spirit Pagoda from returning to its original state and even allowing him to attack the Snow Empress.
Although using the Tower of Eternity would expose the potential dangers of the Soul Spirit Contract, and the Spirit Pagoda might disband, the Snow Empress is more important than the continuation of the Spirit Pagoda. Her safety is all that matters...
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Snow Empress said softly, "That belongs to you; without a proper title, it's not mine."
Strictly speaking, the Spirit Pagoda in the Extreme North is the birthplace of the Spirit Pagoda; it was the original headquarters there, while the headquarters in Mingdu was established later.
The contingency plans left by Huo Yuhao and Old Yi are mostly located inside the Spirit Pagoda in the Extreme North, serving both as a means to protect her and as a place to accumulate resources...
"You just said I was being polite, but aren't you doing the same now?" Huo Yuhao laughed. "All the arrangements in the Extreme North belong not only to me, but also to you."
The Snow Empress's eyes flickered, and a smile played on her lips as she changed the subject, "Speaking of arrangements, would you like to come back to the Extreme North with me to see them?"
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head. "No, let's wait until the promised time arrives. There's nothing I can do if I go now."
Snow Empress nodded gently, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Then it's your turn to become my apprentice, Yuhao."
Another purpose of her meeting with Yuhao was to give him the status of a high-ranking disciple, so that he could act more easily in the future.
The Spirit Pagoda is no longer a place where any one faction can dictate everything. As for Di Tian, even Snow Empress doesn't know what he's thinking.
Huo Yuhao might run into trouble if he rashly reverts to his original identity. It would be best for him to wait until he reaches a certain level of strength before returning as the First Generation Tower Master.
Before that, she could just cover for Huo Yuhao. After all, the two did have a master-disciple relationship, and she had even taught Yuhao two moves of the Snow Empress Three Ultimates, but they hadn't officially established a master-disciple relationship.
"..."
Huo Yuhao did not refuse, stood up and walked to Snow Empress, and bowed.
"Teacher, please accept my bow."
What was clearly a solemn action appeared somewhat comical to Snow Empress.
Huo Yuhao Re-Cultivation, and now he looks like a child. It's strange that he's so solemn.
However, Yuhao looks somewhat similar to the one I first met Ten Thousand Years Ago...
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Snow Empress's eyes.
"No need for formalities. It's just a cover-up; don't be so serious. We didn't even establish any official titles Ten Thousand Years Ago, so I have no intention of taking the First Generation Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda as my disciple now. And I can't teach you anything now."
After saying that, Snow Empress stood up and came to Huo Yuhao, pointing a finger at his brow.
Snow Empress's fingers were as cold as jade. The moment they touched Huo Yuhao's brow, an extremely cold aura seeped into his body through his skin.
The chill wasn't biting; instead, it carried a strange gentleness, like a ray of warm sunshine in the snow. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and an icy blue light bloomed between Huo Yuhao's brows, leaving a snowflake-shaped pattern that gradually disappeared into Huo Yuhao's skin.
"All I can give you is the Snow Empress Token, which will use Power of Space to protect you when you are in danger."
