The Ice God Was a Little Too Easygoing

"This is..."

After the shards of ice disappeared, Yu Tianshuang looked at the rectangular ice surface that had appeared before her and, without hesitation, reached out and touched it.

"Ugh, can't this Ice God stop making me dizzy every time? It's so annoying to feel like the world is spinning around. Or does he have to act all high and mighty like a god?"

After experiencing that annoying dizziness once again, Yu Tianshuang covered her forehead and complained helplessly.

"My god, Tianshuang??? So fast! I'm truly impressed, you're amazing..."

At this moment, Yu Tianshuang looked up and saw a place that was as spacious as the Pope's Palace, but the decoration style was completely different. Xue Wu and the others were gathered in front of an Key of Ice and Snow that was almost the same size as the space where they had just gone through the test. It was Xue Wu who was speaking. At this moment, she was facing Yu Tianshuang, her mouth wide open, and she said in disbelief.

"My God, sister, that idiot's only been inside for a few minutes! Did the Ice God's consciousness go easy on him?"

When Shui Yue'er and the others heard Xue Wu's words, they also looked at Yu Tianshuang and found it unbelievable, because it had taken them a long time to pass.

"I see. The trials Tianshuang faced were different from ours. We were in a group trial, facing Soul Beast equivalent to Soul Emperor. And we were only around level 40 back then. This guy is invincible among his peers. Letting him defeat a Soul Saint is too easy for him."

After chatting with Shui Bing'er and the others for a while, and learning about the differences in their trials, Shui Bing'er nodded and said, then reached out and pinched Yu Tianshuang's cheek, adding:

"You're really impressive. Although your Soul Power Level has reached 70, you haven't acquired Soul Ring yet. You have to understand how huge the boost to a soul Soul Master's strength is from a Martial Soul Avatar. The fact that you came out so quickly makes me think that what I heard about you being as strong as Titled Douluo and the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall is probably true. But it's good that you came out quickly. We were just about to challenge the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. You should take the Ice God Trial first and let your senior sister see how many trials you qualify for..."

"Okay, senior sister, by the way, what is the Ice and Snow Secret Realm?"

Yu Tianshuang actually felt a strange pleasure as Shui Bing'er pinched his cheeks, which made him break out in a cold sweat. He wondered what strange attribute he had awakened... But looking at Shui Bing'er's unintentionally arrogant expression, he suddenly felt that being pinched was not so bad.

"I'll explain later, you go and undergo the God Trial first..."

Shui Bing'er released her delicate hand that was pinching his cheek and pointed to a stone tablet not far away that was almost identical to the one at the entrance.

"Hey, Hairou, Yue'er, what do you think Tianshuang will get? I think if we're really talking about talent and aptitude, Tianshuang and Bing'er are almost evenly matched, but there's only one Godhood, so maybe he can only get eight trials. No, there's only one Great Enshrined position in the temple, so could it be that Tianshuang can only get seven trials...?"

Xue Wu, quite interested, moved closer to Shui Yue'er and Yu Hairou, watching Yu Tianshuang slowly walk towards the Ice and Snow Divine Stele, and began to speculate.

"Tianshuang's aptitude and talent are indeed beyond question, but as you just said, the Godhood and Great Enshrined have already been chosen from Bing'er and Yue'er. It's a pity, Tianshuang may only be able to qualify for the Seventh Trial."

Over the past five years, Yu Hairou's temperament and appearance have become increasingly similar to Shui Xinrou's, but compared to Shui Xinrou's gentle nature, she is more like the girl next door.

"I think this piece of wood should also have undergone nine trials. After all, although there's only one divine Godhood, having two more God Trial would greatly help his strength. Not to mention my sister's Ice God Nine Trials, even my Great Enshrined Eight Trials could additionally increase the age of his Soul Ring. His Soul Ring Configuration is already incredibly impressive. But the black one in the middle, the fifth ring, just doesn't seem to fit me. It would be better if it were red, hehe..."

"Boom..."

Just as the group was discussing, Yu Tianshuang, who had already placed her palm on the Ice and Snow Divine Stele, suddenly felt a very mysterious sensation. At that moment, in mid-air above the temple, a huge, dazzling ice crystal stone flashed with a brilliant white light, and then a white beam of light descended, enveloping Yu Tianshuang.

"Yu Tianshuang, Martial Soul: Frost Dragon, Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, Twin Martial Souls, Soul Power Level 70, Obtained the Ice God Nine Trials!"

Just seconds after the white beam of light shone on Yu Tianshuang, the Bingbing, emotionless voice of the Ice God's will echoed from the temple.

"Wow, it really is the Ninth Trial! My god, I was just guessing! Does that mean Tianshuang will be competing with my sister for the Ice God's Godhood that day...?"

Upon hearing that authoritative Bingbing voice, Shui Yue'er and the others were all speechless with surprise, especially Shui Yue'er, who, to be honest, had only said it casually...

At that moment, an unexpected event occurred. The Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal within Yu Tianshuang's body began to go out of control, continuously releasing waves of purple energy from her dantian. Soon, it turned Yu Tianshuang into a purple Yu Tianshuang, completely isolating her from the white pillar of light.

"Huh... what kind of power is this? Is it the power of another god? No, I've never seen this kind of Divine Power before. No, this isn't Divine Power. I can feel it. This power that resists and opposes my Divine Power power is much stronger and more advanced than my own... Little one, can you explain this to me?"

Just as the purple light and the white beam of light were locked in a stalemate for a while, the white beam of light seemed to be under some kind of control and disappeared. Suddenly, a female voice that was very similar to the will of the Ice God came out from the huge ice crystal that was suspended in the middle. However, compared to the Ice God's will, which was completely devoid of any emotional fluctuation, this voice clearly had a sense of emotion. At this moment, her voice was full of curiosity and doubt.

"It's... it's Lord Ice God..."

Even Ice Empress quickly straightened up. Facing a god, even a fearless Ferocious Beast like her had to restrain herself.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. I can't answer your question. Is it because I can't accept your God Trial?"

After the Purple Seal within his body went out of control, Yu Tianshuang had a vague idea of what would happen next, but when it actually happened, he was still somewhat disappointed. After all, Senior Sister Bing'er and the others had said that there would be many rewards after the God Trial, such as the increase in Soul Power and the age of Soul Ring. The most important one was the God-Given Soul Ring God-Given Soul Ring. If he could obtain such a treasure, it would definitely give him another 100,000-year Soul Ring.

"Alright, since you have your own secrets, little one, I won't pry any further. It's a pity, I was just thinking of seeing which genius would be able to pass the Nine Trials this time. It seems we're not destined to be together. But it's alright, there's only one Godhood. If you had also completed the Ice God Nine Trials, I really wouldn't know whether to give the Godhood to you or Bing'er..."

He had prepared a whole host of explanations in his mind, but what he didn't expect was that this Ice God was a little... a little too magnanimous? He could resist Divine Power power, so he... wasn't planning to investigate further?

"Phew... Although the Ice God is approachable and speaks kindly, he is still a god, and one can't help but feel his pressure. By the way, what's wrong with you? How come you can't even pass the God Trial?"

After the will of the Ice God disappeared, everyone except Shui Bing'er patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. Shui Yue'er even walked over and looked Yu Tianshuang up and down.

"Um... I don't know either, maybe it's because of this Purple Seal mark inside my body..."

Yu Tianshuang didn't really want to say that he was from another world, feeling that it might make people feel distant from him, especially now that he had more people he wanted to cherish.

"Hmm... perhaps this is also an heirloom of that deity. Maybe you were chosen from the start, which is why you couldn't accept the Ice God's God Trial. In that case, this deity has quite the eye, just like me..."

Shui Bing'er's explanation made perfect sense to everyone, but Yu Tianshuang's attention was completely focused on Shui Bing'er's lips, which she had licked. This was... simply too Charm. Senior Sister Bing'er's action was irresistible to him, and his heart was pounding wildly.

"Since you cannot accept the Ice God's God Trial, I wonder if you can even enter the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. If you can't even enter the secret realm, then your loss will be too great..."

"Yes, the reason my sister was able to become a Soul Saint level expert so quickly is because she cleared more levels of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm than us. If you can't get in, you'll really be at a huge loss..."

Shui Yue'er agreed, and Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and even Ice Empress Di nodded in agreement, which aroused Yu Tianshuang's strong interest in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm.

"By the way, what exactly is this Ice and Snow Secret Realm you're talking about?"

"It's a secret realm attached to the Ice and Snow Divine Hall. You can get rewards by passing through the secret realm. There are nine levels in total. The rewards become richer with each level you go up. This secret realm doesn't test the test taker's Soul Power Level. It's all about strength. Even I have only just passed the second level and haven't entered the third level yet."

So that's how it is. According to Shui Yue'er, if I could enter the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, with my combat power, I could significantly increase my strength in a short period of time.

"Yue'er... it's been five years and you've only passed two levels of the secret realm??? Aren't you supposed to be the genius of the Eighth Trial? What about Senior Sister Bing'er?"

These words immediately made Shui Yue'er's face turn red. She was about to retort, but when she heard Yu Tianshuang ask about her sister, she immediately held back and shut her mouth.

"Fourth floor. I'm currently on the fifth floor. If I go in this time, I should be able to get through."

Shui Bing'er's voice was still as cold, elegant, and melodious as ever, full of confidence. Her words immediately surprised and impressed Yu Tianshuang. Although Shui Yue'er's talent and combat power seemed less dazzling under the spotlight of him and Shui Bing'er, it should be noted that even the Ice Empress, who was born with the Ultimate Ice and then transformed into a human, only passed the Seventh Trial in the God Trial, and like Shui Yue'er, he had only just passed the second level of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.

And since Senior Sister Bing'er had already passed the fourth level of the secret realm, it seemed that the fifth level would be completed soon as well. This made Yu Tianshuang, who hadn't seen her for five years, suddenly very curious about just how strong Shui Bing'er was now...

"Hey, what's wrong? Judging from your eyes, do you want to fight me? You should see if you can even get into the secret realm first. To be honest, I also want to know how much of a gap there is between us after these five years..."

Seemingly sensing Yu Tianshuang's battle-ready gaze, Shui Bing'er met his eyes with a defiant look. Her azure eyes gradually turned snow-white, but quickly returned to normal. Pointing to the Key of Ice and Snow in the center, she said, "Just like entering the temple, connect with the Key of Ice and Snow yourself to enter the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. If there's no reaction, it means you can't enter..."

Huo Wu's attacks at their peak can reach the pinnacle of Ultimate Fire, while for him to achieve the Ultimate Ice in all his attacks, he would need to activate his domain and receive the Ice Emperor's Blessing. And the feeling he gets from Senior Sister Bing'er is very similar to the Snow Empress; her every move is like the embodiment of ice and snow. She... should be able to fully reach the Ultimate Ice, right...?

"This is..."

Following his previous experience, Yu Tianshuang placed his palm on the Key of Ice and Snow and immediately felt a semi-transparent light screen appear before him. A virtual snow-white tower appeared in front of him, and he could feel that he could enter the snow-white tower by turning his mind.

"Yes, I can actually enter the Ice and Snow Secret Realm..."

Yu Tianshuang withdrew her hand, and the semi-transparent, snow-white tower that had appeared before her vanished instantly. She turned around, nodded to Shui Bing'er and the others, and said...

"Alright, that's good. Go in and give it a try. With your strength, the first four levels shouldn't be too difficult for you. The reward for the fourth level is God-Given Soul Ring. I broke through to Soul Emperor with this God-Given Soul Ring, but unfortunately my physical strength wasn't as good as it is now, so I didn't reach the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring age limit..."

Shui Bing'er's sixth and Seventh Soul Ring were both God-Given Soul Ring. Unfortunately, her Sixth Soul Ring had only absorbed a little over 90,000 years of age. Compared to Yu Yuanzhen's three light red Soul Ring that were 99,900 years old, her Sixth Soul Ring only had a Sisi, almost imperceptible, light red color, which made her somewhat regretful.

"Alright, I was originally planning to help Senior Snow Empress transform into a human, and then absorb her Soul Ring and Soul Bone to break through to Soul Saint. But this Purple Seal didn't react at all. I was just wondering where to get Soul Ring to break through. It's true what they say, when you're thirsty, you'll find water. I'll go in first then. Take care, Senior Sisters!"

Although it's unknown how long it will take to pass through the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, apart from Shui Bing'er, everyone else has only passed the second level in five years. Even Auxiliary System Soul Master like Yu Hairou hasn't passed the second level yet. Although she is very confident in her strength, she still has to be prepared for a long battle.

"Go ahead, when you break through to Soul Saint and possess Martial Soul Avatar, we'll have a competition again and see how much you've grown in these five years."

In fact, Shui Bing'er understood that she might not be his match yet. After all, the story of someone being able to rival Titled Douluo was widely known. Although she had never fought a Titled Douluo Titled Douluo, she knew that if she didn't fight with all her might, she might not be able to put up a fight against one.
