"Assessment Rewards: Soul Power directly increases by three levels, breaks through to level 70 Soul Saint, obtains the Ice God's second divine skill [ Dual Heavens of Ice and Fire ], and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings can fully materialize."
"What? We can materialize it?"
The Ice Dragon King couldn't hold back.
It can actually be materialized; this is an incredibly wonderful thing.
Their bodies can materialize, which is a very good thing.
My own soul has not yet fully recovered, so how can I talk about materialization?
This is a great reward.
"Now you're happy?"
The Fire Dragon King joked, "I thought all you had was a face that looked like you owed two million."
If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all.
The Ice Dragon King gritted his teeth; the Fire Dragon King was the one he hated most.
His previous composure crumbled instantly, and he began pointing at the Fire Dragon King.
Only the Ice Dragon King could force the Fire Dragon King to this point.
"Of course you can materialize."
The phantom of the Ice God appeared before the three.
"This was also your doing?"
"Ice Dragon King asked."
"I suppose so, so that you can better assist my successor."
The reward shouldn't be given to Ice and Fire King for nothing; after all, a remnant soul can be considered Demigod.
The Dragon God of the Dragon Clan... that powerful being was truly strong; even the God King could not truly defeat him.
"Don't worry, we will."
The Fire Dragon King immediately moved forward and began to Entanglement its tail around Gu Wuchen.
"As part of the contract, if he dies, we die too."
"You're quite perceptive."
"Now that things are over, I won't keep you any longer. Good luck Gu Wuchen. Now, go and complete the Sea God's test."
With a wave of his hand, the three returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was overjoyed to find that his body had materialized.
Now is not the time to appear; return immediately to Gu Wuchen's Sea of Consciousness.
Return to the Sea of Consciousness.
"I told you, stop wearing that sour face all the time."
The Fire Dragon King crossed his arms and smiled.
"None of your business."
The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly.
Gu Wuchen broke through the water and landed on the shore.
The aura of ice and fire on his body had not completely dissipated, and his robes were still covered with glistening water droplets.
Ah Yin quickly handed over a clean towel, and the Two Empresses of Ice and Snow and Bo Saixi immediately surrounded them.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Ice Empress spoke first, their tone full of concern.
"Fine."
Gu Wuchen wiped the water droplets from his face.
"I passed the Third Trial smoothly, and with the help of the power of Ice and Fire Share One Origin, I broke through to level 70 Soul Saint."
"Real?"
Ice Empress's eyes lit up with delight.
"You've reached the Soul Saint level so quickly!"
Bo Saixi nodded, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes:
"Indeed, the power of Ice and Fire Share One Origin is indeed domineering; even my cultivation level has increased by one level."
"Perfect."
Ice Empress stepped forward, their tone firm.
"Then I'll be your Seventh Soul Ring."
Bo Saixi was suddenly stunned, his expression changing drastically:
"You want to offer a sacrifice?"
"Of course."
Ice Empress raised an eyebrow at her, his tone carrying a hint of provocation.
"I'm willing to do anything for Little Wuchen, unlike some people who, relying on their status as the Sea God High Priest, put on airs and refuse to do anything."
"When did I put on airs?" Bo Saixi's face flushed red as she said urgently, "The sacrifice will completely obliterate your soul, leaving you no chance of reincarnation!"
"I'd like to."
Ice Empress snorted.
"It's better than watching others scramble to take care of Chen'er. Anyway, I've been with Chen'er for so long, I've already thought it through."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
Gu Wuchen watched as Ice Empress bullied Bo Saixi, taking advantage of things Bo Saixi didn't know, and he was both amused and exasperated.
This is due to an information gap.
"Auntie, Sister Bing will become my Soul Ring, but she will retain her soul and won't disappear. Furthermore, after I become a god, she will also go to the Divine Realm with me."
This state can be called Soul Spirit.
" Soul Spirit?" Bo Saixi was taken aback, then looked at Ice Empress, " Ice Empress, you rascal, I was worried about you."
"I can't help it, I just want to annoy you."
Ice Empress was smug.
She wouldn't be comfortable if I didn't tease Bo Saixi a little.
Bo Saixi was so angry that his teeth itched, and he clenched and unclenched his fists.
I really want to punch Ice Empress's smug face.
Her years of high priestly discipline allowed her to suppress her emotions, though the rise and fall of her chest betrayed her unease.
" Ice Empress, you're doing well."
Bo Saixi practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.
"It's alright."
Ice Empress crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly.
She loved seeing Bo Saixi looking like she wanted to explode but couldn't.
Only I could make the usually dignified and elegant Sea God High Priest so angry.
"Auntie, calm down."
Gu Wuchen quickly tried to smooth things over, fearing that the two might actually start fighting.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath and turned away from Ice Empress.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Ah Yin stood to the side, blinking, her face full of confusion.
" Soul Spirit? Preserving the soul, and still going to the Divine Realm?"
She couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such a method in this world?"
"That's natural."
Gu Wuchen turned to look at Ah Yin, his tone gentle.
"Otherwise, why would I be willing to let Sister Bing sacrifice herself? If it comes at the cost of complete annihilation, I'd rather not have this Soul Ring."
He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without any hesitation.
Ah Yin paused for a moment, then her expression softened.
So that's how it is.
She looked at Ice Empress, then at Gu Wuchen, and suddenly understood something.
Along the way, Ice Empress was able to choose to sacrifice without hesitation because they knew they would not be separated, and Gu Wuchen was willing to accept it because he did not have to suffer the pain of loss.
There is a mutual trust between the two.
I've learned a lot of new things.
Ah Yin sighed softly, a hint of envy in her eyes.
She had never seen such a bond before.
However, while she admired him, she wasn't jealous.
" Ah Yin, unlike you before, who sacrificed yourself for Tang Hao, ours is a two-way street."
Ice Empress noticed the change in Ah Yin's emotions.
"A two-way journey." This was the first time Ah Yin had experienced it.
Tang Hao's past actions, coupled with this even more unacceptable situation, have made things even harder for people to accept.
Sigh, it's a long story.
If only it had been Young Master Gu instead.
Unfortunately, Young Master Gu was born too late; if they had met, they would have only passed each other by. Perhaps this is fate's arrangement.
Since coming back to life, her mindset has changed. She is no longer afraid of death, but only afraid that her efforts will not be rewarded.
"That's about it, it's time for me to make my sacrifice."
Ice Empress immediately initiated a self-sacrifice, resulting in the phantom of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
The Ice Empress, with his two hundred thousand years of cultivation and nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation, made Bo Saixi feel pressure for the first time.
" Bo Saixi must be scared," Ice Empress laughed.
"You're not qualified to scare me." Bo Saixi scoffed. If she were truly frightened, she might as well resign herself as High Priestess.
"Tsk tsk, still being stubborn."
