As she looked at the world outside and its unique cultivation system, the Ice Empress could not help envying this place.
"A place without Heavenly Tribulations... How wonderful..."
Envy shone in her eyes. Clearly, Heavenly Tribulations were deeply unwelcome. Then Su Miu sneaked a pat on the little girl's head and said:
"Senior Ice Empress, let's awaken your magic first. Then you'll be able to cultivate power from both systems."
"Awaken magic? Is it similar to awakening a Martial Soul?"
"Pretty much. Let's go. Oh, right, your identity here is my little sister, Su Bingyu."
"I understand... Wait! Did you just pat my head?!"
"Ahem, let's go. Time waits for no one!"
"Don't pat my head! Only Xue'er can pat my head!"
The Ice Empress was furious. A human child had actually patted her head. What a disgrace!
Like a kitten with her fur standing on end, the Ice Empress hissed at him, but she did not attack. They were partners now, after all.
Ha Jibing was hissing, huh? Send it over!
And so, Su Miu, the Ice Empress, Di Qiu'er, and Bai Xiuxiu arrived at the Magic Association. Of course, Ling Ling came along too.
Seeing the new little girl at his side, Ling Ling narrowed her eyes slightly. Something's wrong! Are you fucking raising Summoned Beasts or wives?! Why are all your Summoned Beasts beautiful girls?
"Ahem, this is my monster-hunting partner, Ling Ling. And this is my Intermediate Level Contract Beast, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Empress."
Su Miu gave a brief introduction, but the instant the two little girls met each other's eyes, the air grew thick with hostility.
They merely stared at each other without speaking. Sensing that something was wrong, he hurriedly pulled the Ice Empress away to awaken her magic before a fight broke out.
Next came the magic awakening. Su Miu went first, awakening a grayish-white element and a new Sharing Element.
The first Sharing Element shared the first elements his Summoned Beasts had awakened, while the second Sharing Element naturally shared the elements they awakened at the Intermediate Level.
"A grayish-white magic element? Elder Yi, does this have something to do with you?"
Su Miu gazed thoughtfully at the grayish-white magic element, and Electrolux gave him an affirmative answer.
"Indeed. During this time, I have analyzed your world's magic system and modified the Undead Element to create a new element. I call it the Necromancy Element."
"Originally, your second element should have awakened as the Undead Element, my young friend. However, your contractual connection with me turned it into the Necromancy Element. I am still developing this magic element, but I guarantee it will not disappoint you."
With his doubts dispelled, Su Miu smiled. Dora-Electrolux really was reliable. He began looking forward to the power this Necromancy Element would display.
Then it was everyone else's turn to awaken their magic elements. The Ice Empress already possessed an Ice Element. She awakened the Water Element as her first element and the Wind Element as her second, Intermediate Level element.
This seemed quite normal. After all, Soul Beasts from the Far North generally had ice, water, or wind attributes.
Since Su Miu's first Sharing Element had already reached the Intermediate Level, the Ice Empress's first element started at the Intermediate Level right away.
Di Qiu'er went next, awakening the Blessing Element and the Chaos Element. The Chaos Element was an extremely rare Dimension Element.
The Blessing Element was also very rare, probably stemming from the Emperor Auspicious Beast's auspicious blessings. The Chaos Element was simply a result of Di Qiu'er's divinely blessed luck.
Last came Bai Xiuxiu's magic awakening. At the same time, an idea sprang into Su Miu's mind: could he get Little Shark a Summoning System?
Then I could summon a Summoned Beast, and my Summoned Beast could summon a Summoned Beast's Summoned Beast... Wait... I've confused myself...
So Su Miu decided to buy a Guiding Stone. However, since Bocheng had no Dimension Element Guiding Stones, he had to settle for the next best thing and buy a dark-element Guiding Stone, spending an extra two million.
Under everyone's gaze, the Awakening Stone in Bai Xiuxiu's hand was instantly shrouded in darkness. Her Shadow Element had awakened successfully, but she knew it was not over yet.
A moment later, silvery-white light shone out. It was the Space Element. As expected of the girl favored by destiny twenty thousand years in the future, her luck was naturally excellent.
"You can even awaken spatial abilities?"
Surprise flashed in the Ice Empress's eyes. She had not expected spatial abilities to be so easy to acquire in this world. On the Douluo Continent, one had to reach the ultimate level to comprehend them.
"That's right. That's what's so amazing about our world. Senior Ice Empress, please work hard on cultivating your magic from now on."
Su Miu answered, then asked the Ice Empress to cultivate her magic. She nodded slightly, curious about this world's power herself.
After the magic awakenings were over, Su Miu sent everyone back. Upon returning, the Ice Empress discovered that her Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have vanished, filling her with delight.
She had never expected to dodge her Heavenly Tribulation with a shortcut like this! It was fantastic! She immediately ran off in high spirits to tell the Snow Empress about the other world.
Upon hearing about a world without Heavenly Tribulations, and how the Ice Empress had avoided hers and directly broken through to four hundred thousand years of cultivation, a trace of longing appeared in the Snow Empress's eyes.
However, she still needed to repair her Soul Core and condense a Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core. After confirming that the Ice Empress was fine, she headed to the Far North for secluded cultivation.
Over the following period, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation. Holding Star Chart Books for the Light Element, Fire Element, Psychic Element, and Curse Element, Di Qiu'er began practicing control over her Star Seeds.
Bai Xiuxiu needed to master four Intermediate Level elements, so Su Miu bought another Control Magic Tool for Little Shark.
She also needed to cultivate her Fire Element. Its cultivation had not been linked to his element, so she had to start from the Beginner level.
Su Miu himself immersed himself in cultivation as well, practicing control over the Star Seeds of his Intermediate Level Summoning System, Sharing Element, Necromancy Element, and second Sharing Element.
During this time, the principal of Tianlan Magic High School approached him for a talk, hoping he would represent the school in a battle against the Mu Family's prodigy, Mu Yuang, to compete for the right to enter the Earth Sacred Spring.
Su Miu declined and recommended Mo Fan, then returned to intensive cultivation. After two and a half months, he could complete Intermediate Magic from the Summoning System in one second, while his other Intermediate Level magic element required three seconds.
However, his Necromancy Element and second Sharing Element remained at Basic Level One, though he could still complete his Star Seed control within half a second.
Incidentally, the Necromancy Element's Beginner Magic was Sacred Art.
Level One: Sacred Art · Spirit Summoning.
Level Two: Sacred Art · Soul Summoning.
Level Three: Sacred Art · Soul Flame.
The first simply summoned undead to fight. The second allowed dead creatures to rise again as undead and fight, though they would certainly be somewhat weaker than they had been in life.
The last, Soul Flame, was a means of attacking souls. It was fairly standard overall. The only drawback was that he currently had nowhere to store his undead, but Electrolux was already tinkering with Intermediate Magic.
The Intermediate Magic, Gate of the Undead, was meant for storing undead. Su Miu was also preparing to study undead magic under Electrolux.
