"Human, if you can defeat me, I will acknowledge you."
The ice dragon roared to the sky, its voice shaking the heavens and the earth.
"You can speak human language? What exactly are you?" Gu Wuchen dared not underestimate his opponent and immediately drew his sword.
Under this attack, the ice dragon responded to Gu Wuchen, "I fight alongside the Ice God. The Ice Soul Sword is responsible for guarding Ice God Valley. The white serpent you just defeated was also a manifestation of me."
"I've been silent here for a long time. You're the first person to break in. It's fate that the Ice God sent you here."
Ice Dragon caught Gu Wuchen's sword energy with one palm, and then sent Gu Wuchen flying with another.
Gu Wuchen landed, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The attack just now was on a completely different level.
The ice dragon formed hand seals.
"Heavenly ice, Ice Seal for Ten Thousand Li!"
The ice dragon completed its hand seals, and a complete circular magic circle appeared in front of it.
The next moment.
The magic array unleashed a powerful shockwave, enough to Ice Seal all living things in the world.
"The power of ice and snow, Ten Thousand Years Ice Seal!"
Gu Wuchen decided to fight to the death. "Do you think you're the only one with the power of Ice Seal, and I don't?"
The Snow Empress's original power was completely poured into the Dustless Sword, and the patterns of the Heavenly Snow Woman appeared on the sword's body. The Dustless Sword temporarily transformed into the Snow Empress's original ice sword.
"Power of Extreme Cold, activate!"
The next moment, a burst of cold air erupted, Gu Wuchen gripped the Dustless Sword, his expression stern and powerful.
He raised the Dustless Sword high, Dustless Sword transformed into a huge phantom, unleashing a single slash.
The sword slashed downwards, colliding with the ice dragon's attack.
A loud bang was followed by a gust of wind.
After a burst of smoke cleared, Gu Wuchen stood firm, though his body was covered in wounds and his hands were trembling slightly.
The ice dragon was knocked back several meters, but when he saw Gu Wuchen's unwavering gaze, it instantly turned into a cold glint.
"You're stronger than the Ice God, I acknowledge you."
The ice dragon's body gradually formed a long sword, its sword energy soaring into the sky, and it immediately flew into Gu Wuchen's sight.
"Hold onto me, and you will be the next Ice God, invincible."
"Your personal charm has won me over. Anyone else might have collapsed from fear of death or fled in panic, but you chose a different path."
The Super Divine Artifact, the Ice Soul Sword.
Gu Wuchen sheathed the Dustless Sword and raised his hand to grasp the hilt of the Ice Soul Sword.
The power of the Ice Soul Sword was also being channeled into Gu Wuchen's body, and his injuries were healing at a visible speed.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to dare to confront the Ice Soul Sword head-on."
Just as Gu Wuchen's injuries were healing, the Ice God Valley in front of him immediately disappeared and transformed into a huge palace.
Sitting directly in front of them was a man with blue hair, wearing an ice-blue robe, and a cold, aloof face.
Ice God crossed his legs, a smile on his face.
" Gu Wuchen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the Ice God."
Upon seeing this, Gu Wuchen bowed respectfully and said, " Gu Wuchen of the Gu Clan greets the Ice God."
"No need for introductions, I know you. I've heard about the events in the Far North. Actually, you're much stronger than your father."
"In my early years, I also paid attention to your father, but compared to others, I am still not satisfied, because he has Beast Martial Soul, which may make it difficult for him to complete the Ice God Nine Trials."
The Ice God has finally found an ice-attribute Soul Master with Tool Martial Soul.
Gu Wuchen was taken aback. "My father, did you have any dealings with that Ice God?"
"No, I don't usually communicate with people easily. You didn't awaken your parents' Martial Soul, but you did awaken their ancestors' Martial Soul. Perhaps it's fate." The Ice God looked like he had seen through the world.
The Ice God said lazily, "I hope you complete the God Trial as soon as possible and inherit my Godhood. I'm already tired of the Divine Realm and want to leave, but I'm bound by the rules."
"Alright, without further ado, you've obtained the Ice Soul Sword. Now I will pass it on to you the Ice God Nine Trials."
The Ice God raised his hand, and a beam of icy blue divine light shot out from his fingertips, landing precisely on Gu Wuchen's brow.
The icy touch instantly spread throughout my body, and a flood of information rushed into my mind.
" The Ice God Nine Trials have been recorded in your mind. Each trial will lead to the next one upon completion."
The Ice God stretched, his tone still languid, " The First Trial is to familiarize yourself with the power of the Ice Soul Sword. Achieve perfect harmony between you and the sword within three months; it's not difficult."
Before Gu Wuchen could respond, the Ice God's figure gradually became transparent.
"I'll be waiting for you in the Divine Realm. Don't keep me waiting too long."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Ice God Hall vanished into specks of ice crystals.
Gu Wuchen's vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back on the snowy plains of the Far North.
The Snow Empress immediately appeared from her Sea of Consciousness, and her eyes lit up when she saw the faint Ice God mark between Gu Wuchen's brows:
"It worked?"
Gu Wuchen nodded, raising the Ice Soul Sword that gleamed with divine light in his hand. "Yes, I inherited the Ice God Nine Trials and also obtained the Super Divine Artifact, the Ice Soul Sword."
Snow Empress happily hugged him. "That's great!"
Snow Empress was extremely excited. Looking at the handsome Gu Wuchen, her cheeks flushed slightly. She made up her mind, pursed her red lips, and kissed him.
A light kiss, swift as lightning.
Gu Wuchen was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
The Snow Empress, somewhat shy, pulled Gu Wuchen towards Ice Arrival City.
In less than an hour, the two arrived at the Gu Clan mansion in Ice Arrival City.
Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei were handling business in the study when they saw Gu Wuchen return. Just as they were about to speak, their eyes were drawn to the Ice Soul Sword in his hand and the mark between his eyebrows.
" Wuchen, this is..." Shen Suwei stepped forward.
Gu Wuchen smiled slightly, "Father, Mother, I have inherited the Ice God's legacy and become the Ice God's successor."
Gu Linchuan suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock, which then turned into undisguised ecstasy:
"Good! Good! Good! You truly are my son!"
Shen Suwei's eyes welled up with tears as she reached out and gently stroked his brow.
" Wuchen, if you become a god, then our Gu Clan can start a separate family tree under your name for one night."
Gu Wuchen paused, "What about before?"
Gu Linchuan smiled and said, "The previous storage and the new family tree are with you. To be able to receive the Ice God Inheritance is an unparalleled honor."
Shen Suwei was very happy to be able to get together and immediately went to the kitchen to cook.
Ice Empress also emerged from the Sea of Consciousness.
That evening, the five of them sat down at the dinner table and enjoyed a delicious meal together.
The next morning.
Shen Suwei woke Gu Wuchen up, pulled him directly into the carriage in front of the door, and Gu Wuchen, who hadn't even washed up, left the Gu Clan.
"Mother, Father, where are we going?"
Gu Wuchen was somewhat bewildered; why did they leave the Gu Clan so abruptly?
Are they fleeing from disaster?
Shen Suwei took out the steamed buns she had made. "Let's head to Sea God Island Sea God Island. They need to expand their kit business there, and Wuchen, you're back just in time. Let's go together and visit your aunt while we're there."
" Bo Saixi?" Gu Wuchen asked, eating a steamed bun.
"Of course, when you get to Sea God Island, remember to call her 'Auntie,' don't be impolite and call her 'Bo Saixi.'"
"Don't worry, Mother. I'm not familiar with Auntie either. She might not even recognize me when we meet."
