Xue Beng's Ambition!

"I hereby announce the results of the election for the New Seven Great Sects: the Upper Three Sects are Elephant Armor Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, and Black Tiger Sect; the Lower Four Sects are Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, and Sparrow Bee Sect. Congratulations!"

Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong, and after receiving her nod, she stepped forward and loudly announced to the New Seven Great Sects below.

"At the same time, the Spirit Hall will, based on the New Seven Great Sects and all the Spirit Hall's Soul Master, launch a campaign to eradicate the corrupt Evil Soul Master groups of the Star Luo Empire. This battle is for all the innocent people on the continent who have suffered from the invasion of Evil Soul Master!"

The election of the New Seven Great Sects has finally come to an end. During this period, Bibi Dong has discussed the matter of Evil Soul Master in the Star Luo Empire with everyone many times. Finally, with the choice of the vast majority of people, Bibi Dong gave up the idea of first establishing Spirit Hall Empire and destroying the Heaven Dou Empire. Instead, she decided to focus on eliminating Evil Soul Master first and consider the establishment of a country later.

At the border of the Star Luo Empire, after Bibi Dong decided to punish the Evil Soul Master, a team of nearly 10,000 Soul Master, led by the Holy Maiden Hu Liena, including elite Soul Master from the Spirit Hall itself and Soul Master from the New Seven Great Sects, all of whom were Soul Ancestor of level 40 or above, advanced towards the Star Luo Empire. However, they encountered their first battle at the border of the Star Luo Empire.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is quite well-informed. We deliberately didn't send out ordinary soldiers, intending to take a detour directly to the capital of the Star Luo Empire, but we didn't expect to be stopped just as we reached the border."

Hu Liena frowned as she watched the numerous Soul Master frantically setting up camp tents, organized by various sects and the Spirit Hall, and then looked at the commander's tent, which was entirely made of ice.

"Sister Na, what's wrong? Oh, it's nothing. These Soul Master can't set up camp as easily as real soldiers and generals. Anyway, the Star Luo Empire soldiers over there don't dare to attack directly. Let's take it slow. But you have to praise me. I got your commander's tent set up in no time."

Seeing Hu Liena's worried expression, Yu Tianshuang knew what she was thinking, so she quickly came over with a mischievous smile to comfort her, and then glanced meaningfully at the ice house in front of her.

"Bah, I spit on you! At a time like this, you're still thinking about these filthy things. Aren't you afraid of your senior sister?"

Hu Liena's pretty face immediately flushed red. Although she was cursing, she was secretly tempted. She hadn't been intimate with him much lately, and in this place, she suddenly felt a special kind of excitement, which made her involuntarily squeeze her legs together. But then she remembered something and glanced sullenly at Shui Bing'er, who was also building an ice house.

"Yes, that's right. Shall I go and report this to my senior sister?"

Upon hearing Hu Liena's words, Yu Tianshuang glanced at Shui Bing'er with some apprehension before speaking with a hint of unease.

"Forget it... She's so fierce, let's wait for a better opportunity. I... I heard she's about to break through to the Soul Douluo level, then we... we'll..."

At this point, Hu Liena suddenly became expectant. This woman was truly formidable. She was five years older than her and had only just broken through to the Soul Saint, which was already astonishing. Her brother, He Yan, also a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, was still Soul Emperor, but this woman was about to break through to the Soul Douluo. How old was she? Not even 25 yet...

"Actually, I'm almost at the Contra Soul Douluo too, hehe..."

Yu Tianshuang rubbed her head, somewhat reluctant to discourage her, but thinking of the stunningly beautiful woman sitting on the giant ape's shoulder in the Far North, she still spoke up as if to give her a heads-up.

"Ugh, I'm not going to talk about this with you guys. Those two are monsters, but luckily I still have her to save face for me..."

As she spoke, Hu Liena looked towards Yan, where a flustered, fiery-red girl was standing with her hands on her hips, arguing with Yan, their meaning essentially being that they were both complaining about each other's clumsiness.

"Ugh, Sister Na, come here and judge this for me! This idiot doesn't even know how to set up a tent! Look at everyone else, they're almost done, and what about us? We haven't even finished the basic structure, and you still have the nerve to blame me..."

Ling Yuan watched helplessly as the two clowns stood by. As fire-attribute Soul Master, they naturally didn't want to stay in the ice house, so they had to take matters into their own hands. But the result was quite realistic: not to mention two tents, they hadn't even finished setting up the outline of the first tent.

With a slight chuckle, Yu Tianshuang watched Hu Liena being called Huo Wu by Huo Wu, and then walked over to Shui Bing'er. Both were ice houses, but Shui Bing'er's was much more exquisite than the one she had built casually, both in terms of appearance and practicality.

How much more is needed?

Just as Yu Tianshuang was looking around Shui Bing'er and the others' tents, her uniquely cold and aloof voice came from behind her.

"Um... I'm almost level one, it should be soon..."

Yu Tianshuang knew what Shui Bing'er was asking, and couldn't help but sigh. Even with the large amount of Soul Power rewarded by the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, the time it took for Soul Saint to cultivate to the level of Soul Douluo still far exceeded his expectations.

"Well, once we're settled, we'll head back to the Far North. Firstly, to obtain the Soul Ring, and secondly, to bring Yue'er and the others over. It's been so long; who knows how far they've progressed in their cultivation? If Yue'er hasn't even broken through to Soul Saint, hmph..."

Yu Tianshuang could already foresee Shui Yue'er's tragic fate, and secretly prayed, "Yue'er, please don't actually fail to break through to the Soul Saint. If that happens, your senior sister will probably beat you to death..."

"Will this work? I think war will break out soon, and our side is full of Soul Master, so we're at a disadvantage in terms of numbers."

The Star Luo Empire had long ago amassed around 500,000 soldiers on its borders, and the number of Soul Master among them was likely considerable. While it was certainly not as many as the Spirit Hall, Soul Master generally suffered greatly from sheer numbers.

"You don't need to worry about that. Hu Liena is, after all, Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. If she's not stupid, she'll know what to do now. You don't need to worry about that."

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire palace, Xue Beng, who had just ascended the Xue Beng, was so excited by the words spoken by the person reporting intelligence below that he stood up abruptly.

"Is the news reliable? Has the Spirit Hall really gathered a large number of Soul Master and set off for the Star Luo Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the news is absolutely reliable. They are being led by Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, under the pretext of eliminating Evil Soul Master, and have gone to the Star Luo Empire."

"Excellent, excellent indeed! The Star Luo Empire is truly remarkable. They've bought us a great deal of time, and with both sides fighting, our Heaven Dou Empire's chances of victory will greatly increase. This way, we can wait for our teachers to return, and we can also weaken the Spirit Hall's strength in our future confrontations. That Dai fellow has truly given me a tremendous gift this time!"

Xue Beng couldn't help but jump up with joy. Since taking the throne, he had been unable to sleep well day and night, fearing that he would wake up one day to hear the news of the Spirit Hall's attack on the Heaven Dou Empire. Hearing this news today truly put his heart at ease.

"Your Majesty, I believe we should not simply wait idly by. We should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and take the initiative!"

Just as Xue Beng was thinking about how to use this time to vigorously develop the country's strength, a burly middle-aged man appeared below. This man was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who was enfeoffed with Tang San as a king of a different surname.

Xue Beng: "Oh? What does the Blue Dragon King think we should do?"

Yu Yuanzhen: "We should first send out a team of elite Soul Master to form scouts, constantly gathering information on the battle situation between the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire. We should wait until both sides are locked in a stalemate, or until the Star Luo Empire is unable to withstand the onslaught, before launching our attack. We should first join forces with the Star Luo Empire to annihilate the Spirit Hall in one fell swoop, and then wipe out the weakened Star Luo Empire, thus achieving the great feat of unifying the continent!"

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's resounding words, Xue Beng's ambition was also stirred. Yes, we are now the most advantageous party. If we do as he says, it is very likely that I will become the first emperor to unify this continent. In Xue Beng future, the history books will not record me as an ordinary emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, but as a true emperor of all ages!

"Excellent, excellent! Let's do as the Blue Dragon King says, haha!"

Xue Beng never dreamed that the situation would change so drastically, from being filled with fear to being able to accomplish the feat of unifying the continent, all in such a short time.

Inside the Ice and Snow Divine Hall, Shui Yue'er, who had just emerged from the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, looked at the unchanging scenery of the hall with a bored expression and sighed in frustration.

"Ugh, I wonder when my sisters will be back. It's so boring. All I do is cultivate and fight every day. Luckily, I have Little Bingbing to keep me company, or I'd go crazy. Sister Xue Wu and Hairou are crazy too. I hardly ever see them. They're both in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. Sister Xue Wu is alright, but I really don't know what Hairou, this Auxiliary System Soul Master, is thinking. Does she really love fighting that much? But thankfully, I've already finished the homework my sister gave me, or she would have beaten me half to death..."

Shui Yue'er sat on a raised block of ice, her mind wandering. Her fair legs swung back and forth. She glanced at the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, shook her head with some resistance, then looked at her room, her eyes lighting up.

Just as she jumped off the ice block and was about to head towards her room, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the main hall. Thinking it was Xue Wu or Yu Hairou, she was about to give a perfunctory greeting and go back to sleep, but after seeing the figure clearly, she was overjoyed. Then, feeling it was unreal, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes hard before running over happily and clinging to a tall girl.

"Waaah... Sisters, why did it take you so long to come back? Yue'er missed you so much..."

Shui Bing'er affectionately stroked her adorable little sister in her arms, her expression softening for once. "Alright, alright, you're all grown up now. Don't act like a child. Aren't you afraid Tianshuang will laugh at you..."

"Hmph, if that idiot dares to laugh at me, I'll beat him up!"

As she spoke, Shui Yue'er pouted her little mouth, glared fiercely at Yu Tianshuang, waved her cute little fist at him in a show of defiance, and then continued to bury her face in Shui Bing'er's chest and act coquettishly.

"Not bad, you've already broken through to the Soul Saint. It seems you haven't been slacking off since we left; you've been cultivating diligently."

Shui Bing'er sensed her younger sister's cultivation level and nodded in satisfaction, praising her. However, Shui Yue'er's body stiffened slightly, feeling somewhat guilty. In fact, she hadn't cultivated much at all, spending most of her time in a daze. But perhaps because of her status as the Great Enshrined of the Ice God, even when she was in a daze, she occasionally cultivated and fought, and she successfully broke through to the Soul Saint realm.
