The Snow Empress's Daily Life
Spirit City, Yu Tianshuang sat cross-legged, circulating the Frozen Sky Condensing Sea Art. As a top-tier cultivation technique in the cultivation world, it greatly enhances both cultivation speed and the strength gained with each advancement in realm. If Yu Tianshuang didn't have the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal within him, his current level 86 Soul Power would be comparable to that of Peak Douluo had just entered level 95. The immense total amount and quality of Soul Power boosted by the Purple Seal made his Soul Power even more profound than that of Bibi Dong, who couldn't use her full strength.
This is also what the Sea God Phantom was thinking. When Soul Master enters the realm of level 99, the pinnacle of humanity, they are also divided into three levels according to their strength. Yu Tianshuang is currently in the first level in her normal state. After she has all her buffs, she can reach the second level.
However, he was unable to calm down and could not enter a meditative state to summon the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi. He silently sighed as he held the exquisitely crafted longsword, which was even whiter and more translucent than the Seven Kill Sword.
"In my past life, everyone's weapons, magical artifacts, and flying swords were all crafted. But in this life, weapons are innate. If I hadn't met Tang San, my Heavenly Frost Cold Qi would currently be comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer's Tool Martial Soul, but compared to divine artifacts, it's slightly inferior. Unfortunately, in my past life, I only cultivated to the Golden Core Realm. Not only could I not get involved in weapon crafting, but I wasn't even qualified to learn many profound magical techniques and supernatural abilities. Alas..."
Since he couldn't calm his mind and enter a meditative state, he simply activated the Snow Silence Without Dust state, converting his Soul Power into True Essence Power. As his strength increased, his Soul Power became more and more bound by the rules of this world. Without True Essence Power, he would have no way to deal with either the Sea God Phantom or the sacrifice of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This was his trump card. He had a premonition that True Essence Power would become even more important in future battles.
As the empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong's palace is not very large; it's just an expansion of her original resting place. But that's not important. The secret space she created herself is where she spends most of her time now.
Bibi Dong transformed into a half-human, half-spider form, her exquisite face revealing a complex expression. She looked up at the room filled with a dark purple, evil aura, where countless Soul Master were bound by white spider silk. Through the gaps in the silk, one could see that these bound Soul Master still possessed vitality.
After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong had been wanting to ask Yu Tianshuang about the mysterious power she used when simultaneously using Twin Martial Souls and breaking the sacrifice of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Initially, she and the others thought this power was Divine Power, but as she got closer to the final step, she discovered that the power Yu Tianshuang used that day was not Divine Power power at all, but a high-dimensional power that she had never seen before.
However, the assassination attempt on Tang San failed, and he escaped. Yu Tianshuang was in a low mood the whole way. She hesitated many times, but in the end, looking at his gloomy face, she still didn't speak. It was what happened that day that made her determined to stand here today.
However, once she actually arrived here, she still hesitated. Although her Martial Soul and attributes were similar to those of the Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult, the biggest difference between her and those Evil Soul Master was that she would not use those evil arts that violated the laws of nature. However, the sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger. She really didn't know how she could break through to that final step after losing those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. The only method she could think of was the one in front of her.
"Bibi Dong, what are you hesitating about? Have you forgotten your purpose? Have you forgotten how you were once weak, how you were humiliated, and how you were locked in that secret room?"
"No, if I really did that, that dangerous woman Shui Bing'er would definitely notice. Not only her, but Ye Lingling, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia, would also find out immediately. Have you forgotten her subconscious actions at the border of the Star Luo Empire? How will you face Yu Tianshuang then? Tell him that I'm actually the same as those people from the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Bibi Dong went through a very complicated internal struggle. Finally, her narrow, beautiful eyes shone with an indescribable purple light, and with a somewhat frenzied expression, she reached out her hand towards the Soul Master closest to her.
"Ah... how wonderful! This is the feeling of power flowing into my body, haha, haha!!!"
As the Soul Master bound by the white spider silk gradually withered, his life force and Soul Power were absorbed by Bibi Dong, and her expression became even more crazed with the arrival of this power.
In the Sunset Forest, the Snow Empress, dressed in a long white dress, her face veiled by a thick layer of gauze, concealed her exquisite beauty, revealing only a pair of ethereal, sparkling eyes and a flawless white forehead. At this moment, she waved her hand, freezing a Soul Beast of about 300 years old. Then, with a slight tremor in her heart, she looked towards a distant place. That day, when that distant power erupted, she almost uncontrollably wanted to rush towards it. But fortunately, she had lived long enough; halfway there, she finally restrained this call, which seemed to originate from her very soul, and stopped.
Several simply dressed children, around ten years old, were instantly frozen in place by the beautiful older sister, staring at the ferocious Soul Beast. One of the younger girls couldn't help but jump up and cheer, "Sister Bai, you're so amazing! You're so incredible! Such a big tiger, and you turned it into an ice sculpture in an instant! Niaoniao admire you so much! When can Niaoniao become as powerful as you, sister..."
Snow Empress smiled gently. Although her smile was hidden by a thick veil, her eyes curved slightly like crescent moons. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and gently touched the adorable little girl with her slender hand.
"I'm content. To become a true human and experience the beauty of the continent, what are these limitations? Besides, that guy certainly didn't summon me willingly. That day... he must have encountered some kind of all-out battle. Wait... so, it wouldn't be right for me not to go... No, since I can still feel this subtle connection between our souls, it means he's doing just fine. Why worry about him..."
Although that's what she was thinking, she was still somewhat distracted looking at the excited children around her. To be honest, she could sense that a battle fought with all their might must be extremely dangerous, but he hadn't used that authority to stop her from going. Was she... being a little narrow-minded?
However, Soul Beast are born yearning for freedom and unrestraint. Especially since Ice Empress was also transformed into a human by him, why was this contract placed only on her...? In fact, this is the main reason why she harbors resentment.
"Sister Bai, why don't you stay at the academy this time? Grandma Dean will be very happy!"
This adorable little girl watched her companions, took out her short knife, and killed the tiger, which was only a little over 300 years old but was enormous. After absorbing its Yellow Soul Ring and becoming a true Soul Master, she couldn't help but fantasize about the scene when she reached level 10 and Sister Bai would bring her to obtain Soul Ring.
Snow Empress didn't know why, although Yu Tianshuang gave her a large bag of Gold Soul Coin when she left the Far North, and Ice Empress, who was very familiar with the human world, taught her how to deal with things, and her Soul Power was equivalent to a level 98 Titled Douluo, she thought that nothing unexpected would happen, but she still underestimated the complexity of the human world.
In just a few days, she ran out of Gold Soul Coin. With no means of making a living and no desire to plunder, she eventually found herself taken in by the dean of a junior Soul Master Academy and became a teaching assistant there.
On the way back with the energetic children from the academy, she noticed soldiers from the Heaven Dou Empire marching along the official road. She frowned. Her academy was located in the Silves Kingdom, very close to Sunset Forest, but she didn't care much about it and heard about the struggle between the three great empires on the continent every day.
That guy is from the Spirit Hall Empire. Even that silly girl, Ice Empress, became a member of the Spirit Hall Empire because of him. It's been so long since I've heard Ice Empress's chatter in my ear; to be honest, I kind of miss it...
In the Heaven Dou Empire Palace, after Xue Beng finished inquiring about all the daily affairs, he looked at the people in the main hall. Ning Fengzhi then stepped forward, took out a list, and said to Xue Beng with great distress, "Your Majesty, the disciples of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have once again gone missing while hunting for Soul Ring. This is the fourth time this year. Less than half of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples are left. What are we to do..."
Xue Beng hearing Ning Fengzhi's vivid and expressive words, Xue Beng's eyebrows twitched a few times. He thought to himself, "You old fox! It's only because the Blue Dragon King isn't here that he's giving you a piece of his mind..."
Although that's what he really thought, he still had to maintain appearances. He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair, stood up, and roared, "What?! They've gone missing again? And so many this time? Damn the Spirit Hall Empire! Sect Master Ning, it's all my fault! I should have sent more people to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School disciples, but the empire is currently short-handed... sigh..."
Ning Fengzhi seized the opportunity and followed up on Xue Beng's words, saying, "Your Majesty, this loss almost entirely consists of the best of our sect's younger generation, the hope for the future. I do not wish to swallow this insult. I plan to dispatch two of the sect's elders, along with my daughter and I, as well as the sect's current protectors and disciples, to conduct a thorough search of the missing persons' location. We are determined to eradicate the traitors from the Spirit Hall Empire!"
Xue Beng's lips twitched slightly. "You, Ning Fengzhi, I've put up with you for so long, and today you're too lazy to pretend with me anymore? You think you can just leave so easily? What a dream!"
"Sect Master Ning, the Spirit Hall Empire is far more powerful than yours alone can contend with. The Soul Master they have dispatched are undoubtedly extremely strong. I think it's best to preserve our strength. Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School should not venture out in the near future. I can still protect their safety within the capital."
Ning Fengzhi was just speaking casually. The relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire is practically out in the open now. The reason they haven't torn off the last layer of pretense is simply because they are wary of each other. Xue Beng is afraid that if they fight to the death, the two Titled Douluo, with the assistance of Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, will fight to the death, which will damage the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire. Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, doesn't want to waste his combat power.
"Report from the front lines: Grand Marshal Ge Long's third expedition has failed to reclaim the Balak Kingdom. He has now retreated back to the Silves Kingdom and is requesting aid to replenish his losses."
Xue Beng's face darkened instantly. The reinforcements they had just requested not long ago had only just departed today, and now they were asking for more men immediately? Did they really think Xue Beng was a living army?
Xue Beng waved his hand helplessly, "Pass on my order: Grand Marshal Ge Long should not launch a reckless expedition. He should simply hold the Silves Kingdom and wait until the Blue Dragon King returns from the Star Luo Empire before making further plans."
"Grandpa Gu, my Heart Separation Control Method has finally reached the level of Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart! That's wonderful!"
At this moment Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School was no longer as bustling as it used to be. Almost half of the disciples had been transferred out, and those remaining in the school were mostly the core members. This was probably the last line of defense for Xue Beng.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's happy voice, Gu Rong burst into laughter, "Our Rongrong is amazing! That guy Fengzhi, when he was your age, he only had a few tricks up his sleeve, haha, I can't remember, but he's definitely not as good as our Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong has been cultivating almost day and night for the past few years. However, ever since she wrote down all her feelings in a letter and sent it, she has been eagerly awaiting a reply, but has not received one. This has made her very depressed. However, she did not stop cultivating. Instead, she became even more diligent. Even if Brother Tianshuang is unwilling to accept her... as his younger sister, she wants to use her strength to help him in the future.
"Yes, that's right. I'm the only... Grandpa Gu in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
The disappointment and sadness in Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed by in an instant, and she immediately smiled, her eyes curving into two crescent moons as she spoke. But halfway through her sentence, Gu Rong suddenly appeared in front of her, waving his hand to shield her behind him.
"Who dares to trespass into my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Show yourself at once!"
Although Gu Rong had not consumed Immortal Herb, his Soul Power had reached level 95, the watershed for Titled Douluo. A powerful aura appeared, making him feel extremely dangerous, causing him to involuntarily protect Ning Rongrong behind him and begin to scan and sense her.
That Old Sword, he's in the palace with Fengzhi right now. Damn it, did we go too far and anger the Heaven Dou Empire? Have they turned against us? Are they planning to take us down while Fengzhi others are away?
In an instant, Gu Rong connected many ideas, but according to Fengzhi, the disciples they had transferred out these past few times were only the younger generation; the true core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still here. Turning against them at this time seemed inappropriate...
"Grandpa Gu, your senses are as sharp as ever! Rongrong, it's been so long! You've grown so tall!"
A humanoid icy mist appeared before them, and soon, Yu Tianshuang's unique, magnetic voice rang out as she looked at them with a smile.
