After leaving the underground space of the Golden Tree, Snow Empress quickly arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, where the interior space was much more spacious than she had expected.
After greeting the Charizard that was lying there controlling the seal around her, she finally had a chance to get a clearer picture of her surroundings.
Combining this with the information Lin Mo had previously given her, Snow Empress confirmed that she was currently inside the Golden Tree that was the manifestation of the Core of Life in the Douluo Continent.
Upon realizing this, Snow Empress's lips twitched involuntarily.
She remembered clearly that ten thousand years ago, this Golden Tree was still Ingrain deep in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ferocious Beast regarded it as a treasure, and Di Tian personally guarded it.
People back then were all eyeing the Golden Tree; just stepping into the core area of Star Dou Great Forest was enough to give them their lives.
Although it's not the same world, only ten thousand years have passed, yet the changes are so drastic?
Human Soul Master are so Swagger, they even dare to attack the Life Core of the Douluo Continent.
Di Tian didn't kill them?
Thinking of this, Snow Empress shook her head repeatedly, then stepped barefoot onto the ground and walked out through the gap opened by the Charizard.
Snow Empress spread out her spiritual power, and the layout of the entire Shrek Inner Court became clearly visible in her perception.
It's so easy to find.
With her current strength, she could easily spread her spiritual power throughout the entire inner courtyard.
No matter how small the matter, all information within the inner courtyard will be presented to her perception.
Lin Mo's newly accepted disciple, Huo Yuhao, who had just reached the first ring of cultivation, was too conspicuous in this place.
After all, apart from Huo Yuhao, the lowest cultivation level of any disciple who could enter the inner courtyard of the Shrek Academy was at least Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.
After roughly sensing its exact location, spatial power surged around Snow Empress, enveloping her entirely in silver light.
A flash of silver light, and the power of space was activated.
Snow Empress had completely vanished from the spot.
When the silver light reappeared, Snow Empress's delicate body had already been brought to the vicinity of a small wooden attic.
The attic had two floors, with light-colored paint on the exterior walls. The windows were half-open, and one could vaguely see shadowy figures moving inside.
According to the information she brought back from releasing her spiritual power, Huo Yuhao is currently inside this small attic.
However, Snow Empress did not rush up immediately.
Because in her perception, besides Huo Yuhao, there was another human presence in this small attic.
The aura of a young, human woman.
Although young in age, his cultivation level is quite strong.
At such a young age, he has already achieved the cultivation level of an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!
Upon sensing this, Snow Empress's eyes narrowed, flashing with a dangerous glint.
This woman seems to possess the aura of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Soon, Snow Empress stepped barefoot up the steps, pushed open the door, and entered. What she saw inside the room surprised her slightly.
The woman appeared to be helping Huo Yuhao tidy up his room; everything else was already done, and she was now making his bed.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, wearing an elegant long dress, with her long hair tied back with a simple headband.
She wore a gentle smile, radiating a reassuring maternal aura.
Huo Yuhao stood awkwardly to the side, looking completely at a loss.
This was the first time he had been cared for so gently by someone since his mother passed away, and by such a kind and approachable older sister at that.
" Huo Yuhao?" Snow Empress raised her snowy eyes, subtly scrutinizing Huo Yuhao, and asked.
After observing Huo Yuhao up close for a moment, more doubts arose in her mind.
This kid's talent doesn't seem that great; he's only barely broken through to the first ring at the age of ten.
If it weren't for the help of that giant insect, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, with his talent, he probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the Soul Saint even if he cultivated until he died.
What exactly did Lin Mo see in him?
Given Lin Mo's personality, why would he accept him as a disciple?
Snow Empress felt increasingly better.
"I am Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao nodded, looking nervously at the uninvited, aloof woman.
"Senior, who are you?"
The young woman who had been ordered by Mu En to help Huo Yuhao tidy up his room and prepare to take care of his daily life stepped forward and stood between Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress.
While protecting Huo Yuhao behind her, she had already completed the release of her Martial Soul, and a moon's radiance appeared in her hand.
The moonlight, like a Minimize version of the bright moon, hovered above her palm, emitting a cool and soft silvery-white glow.
Where the moonlight shone, the air grew cooler.
Eight Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—were arranged in order, with the outermost red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring standing out prominently.
Zhang Lexuan, the Grandmaster of the inner courtyard, possesses the Moon Martial Soul and Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!
"Little girl, don't be nervous."
The Snow Empress waved her hand, and a surge of Ultimate Ice that appeared out of nowhere forcefully forced Zhang Lexuan's released Martial Soul and Soul Ring back into her body. "I have no ill intentions towards you."
The moonlight in Zhang Lexuan's hand instantly extinguished, and the eight Soul Ring beneath her feet also disappeared at the same time. She froze on the spot, her face filled with disbelief.
"You're Huo Yuhao, right?"
"I was sent by your master to help you resolve the issue of your Second Martial Soul, the nascent ice Martial Soul."
Upon hearing Snow Empress's words, Huo Yuhao's face immediately lit up with joy.
However, Zhang Lexuan's sudden outburst had really startled him.
He never expected that the gentle and lovely older sister beside him, who claimed to be taking care of his daily life, would actually be a Soul Douluo!
He's also an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
To everyone's surprise, this older sister, an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, couldn't even withstand a single move from this cold and beautiful woman and was directly Sheer Force.
Based on the woman's words, Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and he had already guessed the woman's identity.
Huo Yuhao suddenly stepped out from behind Zhang Lexuan and respectfully bowed deeply to the Snow Empress.
He bowed deeply, clasped his hands above his head, and said, "Disciple Huo Yuhao greets Master's Wife!"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Snow Empress was visibly stunned for a moment, and her usually cold voice changed slightly at this moment.
Even his face, which had always appeared indifferent, showed obvious emotional fluctuations.
At the same time, in Huo Yuhao's mind, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had finally come to his senses, recognized the identity of the unknown woman in front of him, albeit a beat too late.
The Heavenly Snow Woman Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, even ranked above Bingbing!
The spirit of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trembled violently within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, nearly disintegrating on the spot.
However, Huo Yuhao spoke too quickly, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no time to stop him.
Tired? Destruction it!
Little Yuhao, let's go together.
This was the only thought in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind at that moment: This little guy really dares to say anything!
Snow Empress realized that her behavior just now was somewhat out of line, and quickly returned to her previous aloof demeanor.
You can call me whatever you like.
"I've come on behalf of your master to help your nascent Ice Martial Soul evolve into a complete Ice Martial Soul ahead of schedule."
Snow Empress reiterated her purpose for coming.
A look of joy appeared on Huo Yuhao's face, and he nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Master's wife."
His tone was more natural than before, and the way he addressed her as "Master's Wife" came out more smoothly.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, hidden within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, did indeed have a hint of suspicion flash through its mind upon seeing the Snow Empress's appearance.
Aren't you angry?
She actually accepted the way Little Yuhao addressed her.
Was the Snow Empress standing before him truly the Snow Empress he knew?
Or perhaps, during the years she was tormented by the Ferocious Beast led by Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, Snow Empress quietly boarded the chariot of that previous deity.
Upon thinking of this, a look of overjoyed appeared on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face.
Doesn't this mean that Ice Empress, who has always harbored unreliable ideas about Snow Empress, has completely lost her chance?
Wouldn't that give me a chance to be with Bingbing?
The more Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought about it, the more excited it became, its spiritual body twisting and turning in the Sea of Consciousness.
After listening to Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao's conversation, Zhang Lexuan's maternal face was filled with confusion.
What is meant by the prototype of an Ice Martial Soul?
Isn't Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Mental Attribute weapon called the Spirit Eyes?
Could it be that he has a Second Martial Soul?
These days, even Twin Martial Souls can be artificially created?
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's little head was filled with great confusion.
"Little girl, you should leave now. What's coming next involves Huo Yuhao's privacy and shouldn't be known to outsiders." Snow Empress said, waving Zhang Lexuan away from the small attic.
After sending Zhang Lexuan away, Snow Empress flicked her fingertips, and several streams of icy blue Soul Power flew out from her fingertips, landing on the four walls, doors, and windows of the pavilion.
She sealed off the attic, cutting off all outside perception of the place.
After being sent away, Zhang Lexuan regained her senses and suddenly accelerated, heading towards the location of the new Sea God Pavilion.
She was ordered by Mu En to come here to take care of her younger brother, Huo Yuhao.
She had to tell Mu En about this as soon as possible. Although the aloof woman claimed to have been sent by Huo Yuhao's master, Mu En was still the one who needed to make the decision.
She naturally had to inform Mu En.
Inside the small attic.
After Zhang Lexuan left, Snow Empress reverted to her usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
She looked down at Huo Yuhao, making Yuhao suddenly feel extremely nervous.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously swallowed, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes.
This teacher's wife had such a powerful aura; just standing there made him feel incredibly intimidated.
After staring at Huo Yuhao for a moment, Snow Empress finally spoke, "Don't be nervous. Not only you, but also that giant worm in your Sea of Consciousness, come out together."
"You two, one human and one insect, are now inextricably linked; you share both prosperity and adversity."
Since this concerns Huo Yuhao, then Big Bug, you should come out and listen too.
Long after Snow Empress finished speaking, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness seemed to have finally mentally prepared itself.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm controlled its Spiritual Origin to slowly condense and take shape, then appeared in the outside world.
This body, radiating golden light, looked exactly like another Huo Yuhao.
The moment Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared, it bowed to the Snow Empress and said, "Greetings, Snow Empress!"
Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Snow Empress raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a teasing tone, "I didn't expect that Bing'er would chase you for so long and still not be able to kill you."
What surprised me even more was that you actually became a million-year-old Soul Beast, and even successfully fused with such a weak human...
Upon hearing Snow Empress's words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave an awkward smile, her face plastered with a fawning grin.
Whether it's the Snow Empress's own strength or her identity as a suspected companion of an unknown deity.
All of this prevented Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from making the slightest disrespectful move.
"Alright, I told you not to be so nervous. I'm just here to help this little guy fully awaken his Second Martial Soul."
The Snow Empress said, "I just didn't expect that although Tian Meng's strength wasn't that great, her methods after breaking through a million years were much stronger than those of a normal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"It can even grant the fused human Soul Master the rudimentary form of an ice Martial Soul; this is something that even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like myself couldn't do."
Upon hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could only nod frantically to the side, still not daring to say a word.
"Master's wife, according to the information Brother Sky Dream gave me, my Ice Martial Soul is only in its nascent stage. We'll only be able to determine its exact Martial Soul after I absorb a Soul Ring produced by an Ice-type Soul Beast..."
Huo Yuhao voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"Why is it so complicated?"
The Snow Empress shook her head. "Even without fusing Soul Ring, I can still bestow upon you two Ice-type Martial Soul."
The Snow Empress was clearly quite interested in the special case of Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fusing together.
She had lived for 700,000 years and this was the first time she had ever seen anything like it.
At this point, the Snow Empress slowly extended two slender, white fingers. "First, I will directly reshape your Ice Martial Soul attribute into the Ultimate Ice Element!"
"Also, I can use my own abilities as a catalyst to help you awaken the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul!"
"Of course, if you don't like either of these, I can also take you to the Far North to try and obtain top-tier Ice-type Martial Soul like the Ice Jade Scorpion, Ice Bear, or Titan Snow Demon..."
At this point, Snow Empress's tone became exceptionally excited.
She was the only surviving member of the Heavenly Snow Woman clan, and she had never seen another Heavenly Snow Woman besides herself.
As for human Soul Master, there seems to be no precedent for the existence of the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul.
If Huo Yuhao is willing to accept the second suggestion, then Huo Yuhao will become the first human Soul Master to possess the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul.
She also wanted to see what would happen if the Heavenly Snow Woman appeared in a human Soul Master's body.
She's been thinking about this for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not immediately give an answer. Instead, he softly asked another question, "Master's wife, if I accept the Snow Woman Martial Soul, what will I look like after the Martial Soul Possession?"
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress was visibly taken aback, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao to ask such a question.
After thinking for a moment, she parted her red lips and said, "Well, I have never seen Soul Master with the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul."
If you're willing to accept, you'll be the first.
However, it is foreseeable that, judging from the Martial Soul Avatar Soul Skill that you human Soul Master will inevitably possess, the appearance of your Martial Soul Avatar should become similar to mine under my influence...
Huo Yuhao in his Martial Soul Avatar state will most likely resemble her.
After all, the source of the Martial Soul's power is her.
Upon hearing Snow Empress's words, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he was clearly stunned for a moment.
Then she pulled Sky Dream Ice Silkworm aside and began to whisper with her.
After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally looked at Snow Empress and solemnly said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master's wife. I'll choose the Ultimate Ice Element Martial Soul!"
"Aren't you really going to consider the Heavenly Snow Woman?" the Snow Empress urged, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master's wife."
Huo Yuhao gently shook his head, his gaze suddenly softening with unprecedented tenderness, his tone resolute. "I promised Mom that I would become a true man in the future!"
"Okay."
Snow Empress waved her hand helplessly. "Since that's the case, then let's do it your way."
In my opinion, whether it's the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul or the Ultimate Ice Element, in the end, they all lead to the same goal in the cultivation of ice.
Ultimately, how far one can go depends on their own understanding and realization...
At this point, Snow Empress suddenly stepped forward, her slender fingers gently touching Huo Yuhao's forehead.
The moment the icy touch reached his fingertips, Huo Yuhao froze completely.
An extremely pure Ice-type aura immediately flowed down Huo Yuhao's forehead and into his body, beginning to shape the nascent ice Martial Soul that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had bestowed upon him.
It was directly and forcefully shaped into the Ultimate Ice element!
