Heavenly Snow Woman
Yu Tianshuang nodded to Tian Meng, then took a step forward. A feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and the upside-down visuals made her feel dizzy and nauseous. She quickly closed her eyes, and only when her feet were firmly planted on the soft ground did she slowly open them. What came into view was a white expanse, and the softness under her feet was due to stepping on the snow.
Senior Sister Tian Meng said that the first level of the Moke Ice Realm is specifically for converting cultivation techniques, and there will be array spirits in it. The surroundings are all covered in white snow, and it was hard to tell which way to go for a while. But after walking a few steps, we soon saw a stone array standing in the ice and snow world. Around the stone array stood four white jade pillars about ten meters high, and in the middle was a floating futon that looked like a cloud.
Seeing this, Yu Tianshuang quickly walked over and touched the material of the jade pillar. It wasn't cold to the touch; instead, it felt warm. Curious about the material, she wondered what it was made of. Just then, a childish female voice came from the sky. "Hey! Kid, you must be this year's top disciple. Time flies! You slept for over sixty years! Waaah~"
"Ice Empress?"
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Tianshuang looked up and saw a young girl sitting on the previously empty cloud-shaped futon. Her appearance was exactly the same as that of the Ice Empress, which made Yu Tianshuang exclaim in surprise.
Yu Tianshuang's loud shout displeased the array spirit, "Huh? What Ice Empress? I am the array spirit of this Ice Sky Condensing Sea Formation. What are you doing, brat, making such a fuss!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianshuang quickly bowed respectfully. "This disciple only thought that you looked quite similar to an old friend of mine, and assumed that I had met an old friend, but upon closer inspection, it is not." However, he kept looking up, his mind filled with questions.
Upon hearing this, the spirit of the formation didn't bother with his strange behavior. With a wave of its hand, it sat on a cloud-shaped futon and came to the ground. "Alright, sit down. Although you have already converted your True Essence, your soul and your physical body are not compatible. A strong soul and a weak body is a major taboo in cultivation. You should cultivate more. This formation was left by your ancestor, so just focus on your cultivation."
The array spirit's words filled Yu Tianshuang with confusion. What did the array spirit mean? Wait... Yu Tianshuang immediately focused his divine sense into his body and discovered that he had previously only been focused on sensing the Purple Seal within him, but now he found that his divine soul was exactly the same strength as it had been in the Douluo Continent, reaching the Late Golden Core Stage stage. No wonder the array spirit said his soul was strong but his body was weak. Wait... if even the array spirit could sense it, then his master and uncle-master...?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. No, no, his master and uncle had no ill intentions towards him and wouldn't release their divine sense to investigate him. Otherwise, with his master's Divine Transformation Realm, Perfection, he would definitely question him. As for his uncle... well, his focus is different from that of normal people. And the fact that the array spirit could sense it must be related to its identity.
Following the instructions of the array spirit, Yu Tianshuang sat upright on the cloud-shaped futon and silently began to circulate the Frozen Sky Condensing Sea Art. At that moment, the array spirit waved its small hand, and four jade-like giant pillars emitted soaring light, slowly converging into a huge white light shield. The surging spiritual power immediately filled the array.
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, the Ice Empress watched the fierce battle Spirit City, its golden and purple hues reflected in the sky, but its thoughts drifted back to the city. Xue'er... as a being formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy in the Core Circle of the Far North, the Snow Empress, the Heavenly Snow Woman, could greatly enhance his strength if she were willing to merge her essence into the Purple Seal Yu Tianshuang Yu Tianshuang, perhaps even helping him cross the crucial step between humanity and divinity.
After all, Yu Tianshuang's strength had already reached the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo, and Snow Empress's 690,000-year-old origin could definitely allow him to condense Godhood on his own, just like the First Generation Sea God and Angel God. However, all of this was contingent on Yu Tianshuang waking up and their ideas being correct, since there was no precedent in history for any other power besides the Power of Faith to condense Godhood.
The room where Yu Tianshuang was located was empty at the moment. Even Shui Xinrou was on the city wall preparing for battle. So when Snow Empress entered, she went straight to his side. Looking at the purple light screen that enveloped Yu Tianshuang, Snow Empress gently raised her hand and reached out to touch it.
Without the slightest resistance, Snow Empress's hand simply reached inside. The purple light barrier, which even the Sea God Tang San couldn't penetrate, allowed Snow Empress to slip her hand inside. "It... it really is as I thought, sigh..."
As Soul Beast born from the ice-attribute primordial energy of the Far North, the Snow Empress hesitated when she looked at Yu Tianshuang. However, remembering her previous words with those troublemakers, she made up her mind. In an instant, her eyes became firm again. She clasped her hands together, and the purest ice-attribute primordial energy in the world was continuously released from her body. A white ball of light slowly appeared on her chest. As the ball of light appeared, the Snow Empress's divine body, like a snowman under the scorching sun, slowly melted and gathered into this white ball of light.
This ball of light was the essence of the Heavenly Snow Woman. After the Snow Empress completely disappeared, the ball of light flickered a few times and then slowly entered Yu Tianshuang's body. In just an instant, the entire room was covered by white light. When the white light dissipated, the purple light curtain that had been enveloping Yu Tianshuang also disappeared.
A year passed quickly. During this year, Yu Tianshuang not only raised his cultivation to the Golden Core Stage by relying on the formation of the first level of the Moke Ice Realm, but also used the divine abilities from the dream again with ease in the second level. At this moment, looking at the teleportation formation leading to the third level, he bowed to the formation spirit in the form of the Ice Empress behind him. "Thank you for your guidance this year, Senior Formation Spirit. This disciple is now confident that I can go to the third level and pass the test."
"Nonsense, you're a prodigy, I'm too lazy to even talk about it. If someone like you can't pass, then your sect doesn't need to send anyone in anymore..."
The spirit of the formation was somewhat speechless. It was supposed to be guidance, but it hadn't actually done anything this year. It had just set up a formation and explained how to cultivate the supernatural abilities in the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture, and then the student had mastered them. Not only that, but most of the supernatural abilities had quickly reached a level of perfection. This left the spirit speechless. It had only seen such a prodigy in that person many years ago.
Unlike the weightlessness and dizziness she felt when she first entered the Moke Ice Realm, it was as if she had pushed open a door and entered another room. The space on the third floor was not large, just a place similar to a fighting arena. In the center of the arena, a woman curled up with her arms wrapped around her legs gave Yu Tianshuang a strange sense of familiarity.
The woman in the middle must be the one facing the third level of the test. Senior Sister Tian Meng said that the tests faced by the chief disciples each year are different, but the result of passing the test is to defeat the opponent that appears. So this woman should be my opponent.
