The Secrets of the Purple Seal
Snow Empress was also very curious. The Holy Spirit Cult's current actions were all aimed at helping others become gods. Although she didn't know what Bibi Dong and Tang San had sacrificed, the fact that Bibi Dong could decide to let Qian Renxue kill Shui Bing'er in exchange for sparing Spirit City showed that Bibi Dong had absolute authority.
The two pondered for a long time without figuring it out, so Snow Empress simply gave up and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. My essence has already been absorbed by your body in the Douluo Continent. Perhaps the fact that I can retain my intelligence and appear here in soul form is also related to the connection with the Purple Seal. But right now, our focus is on how to get the Purple Seal to take us back to the Douluo Continent. As long as your soul returns, and with the fusion of my essence, you will definitely be able to find a way to become a god, or break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Yu Tianshuang pondered for a moment. Yes, Snow Empress was right. The most important thing now was to return to the Douluo Continent, but how to pass the third level of the Moke Ice Realm? This was the most pressing problem at hand...
Yu Tianshuang could already communicate with the Purple Seal, and he could use all the functions he already possessed, such as strengthening his physical body. He then said, "Senior Snow Empress, you have no physical form. Although you were originally formed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth, you will still dissipate if this continues. Please enter the Purple Seal first..."
Snow Empress nodded and immediately lunged towards Yu Tianshuang: "Fine..." But the instant Snow Empress entered, the center of the arena suddenly began to shake. Then, a snow-white sword sheath burst forth from the ground, accompanied by a teleportation array. This scene left Yu Tianshuang utterly speechless... So, it turns out Senior Snow Empress was indeed the opponent for the third level of the test. She disappeared, so the Ice Realm assumed I defeated her and passed the test. No wonder the array spirit wasn't here for this level...
Yu Tianshuang shook his head speechlessly, picked up the snow-white sword sheath, and a bone-chilling coldness instantly assaulted him as soon as he touched it. Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but circulate his True Essence to resist it. After a period of refinement, he absorbed it into his body. As soon as the sword sheath entered his body, it was enveloped by the constantly rotating Purple Seal, and his Martial Soul, Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, also appeared at the same time, and under the guidance of the Purple Seal, it inserted into the snow-white sword sheath.
This result surprised Yu Tianshuang. He quickly summoned the snow-white scabbard, grasped the hilt of the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi Sword, and tried to draw it out, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. He could only sigh helplessly and put it away.
"Purple signifies auspiciousness. Only those with great fortune can activate the Purple Seal, thereby allowing their soul to enter another land and achieve great power."
Yu Tianshuang had just stepped out of the teleportation array on the third level of the Ice Realm when she heard Mingde's voice from the air. He spoke solemnly, then appeared before Yu Tianshuang in the next instant, continuing with some regret, "It's just a pity that, like me, you failed to refine that realm after this wisp of Purple Qi was consumed..."
Mingde's words instantly put him on high alert. Why had his speaking style suddenly become normal? Moreover, his words directly revealed the secret of the Purple Seal. Cold sweat dripped down Yu Tianshuang's forehead as he said, "Greetings, Uncle Mingde... What you just said is beyond my understanding..."
Seeing Yu Tianshuang's expression, Mingde instantly understood and immediately switched back to his previous carefree manner, saying, "You brat, what are you pretending for? Remember what I told you? The one who switched cultivation techniques overnight was my master's master, oh right, I didn't tell you, and the next one was me... I was the chief disciple of Tian Meng and the others in the previous generation. However, like you, although I'm also of the Ming generation, there's a difference of more than sixty years between my master and your master. I've finally waited for you, and you're still pretending with me!"
After Mingde made his point clear, Yu Tianshuang's eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be that you, Martial Uncle, also..."
Mingde said somewhat speechlessly, "Isn't that a waste of breath? It's a pity about Tian Meng. Her talent and comprehension are both top-notch, but she doesn't possess that wisp of Purple Qi. This Purple Seal doesn't recognize anything else, it only recognizes Purple Qi. Oh, you don't understand? To put it bluntly, it's luck."
Wait, does my uncle mean that besides me, he and his master's master were also sent to other worlds by the Purple Seal? That's why he vaguely said that to me in the main hall. Does he know how to return to the Douluo Continent?
Before Yu Tianshuang could even ask, Mingde interrupted her, "You're no good, kid. Your soul only reached the Late Golden Core Stage before returning. If my soul hadn't been severely damaged and the Purple Seal hadn't activated its protective mechanism, I definitely would have gained the approval of that world and refined it. The strange thing is that the place is full of people who cultivate their souls. I don't think your soul was seriously damaged, so how could the Purple Seal mechanism have been activated to send you back?"
No, Uncle-Master, how do you know so much? The purpose of sending the Purple Seal to those worlds was for us to refine it? What level of cultivation would be needed to do that?
Thinking that Mingde had gone to places where soul cultivation was practiced, and that the ultimate protection of the Purple Seal was based on the soul, making it far more dangerous than the Douluo Continent, and even so, my uncle only returned after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I realized I was really inadequate. I could only say with some shame, "Uncle-Master, like you, I only gradually learned about these things after returning. If I had understood more before activating the Purple Seal, I probably wouldn't have returned so soon..."
Seeing the shame on Yu Tianshuang's face and the remorse in her words, Mingde felt a little guilty and slowly scratched his head, saying, "Um... actually... I knew before I activated it. My grandmaster—no, what grandmaster—finded me after sensing that I possessed the Purple Qi. This is a unique inheritance passed down to every generation of Purple Seal holders..."
No? Uncle Mingde, do you want to listen to what you're saying... What do you mean you knew before you even entered? So, my ashamed and embarrassed appearance just now was like that of a clown?
Noticing the unfriendly expression on Yu Tianshuang's face, Mingde quickly chuckled and said, "Hey, I was wondering where all these people with Purple Qi came from. Didn't my grandmaster wait two generations for me? I was very serious after my failure. After Tian Meng won the championship, I sensed it immediately, absolutely serious, but she didn't. So I thought it must be very difficult to obtain, right? I didn't expect you to appear in just sixty years. When I sensed the Purple Seal being activated, I rushed over immediately, but by then, you had already entered that world, so I had to cast a spell to protect your physical body and prevent others from noticing..."
Mingde became increasingly uneasy as he spoke, and finally pulled out a large pile of magical treasures and pills, stuffing them all into Yu Tianshuang's hands. "Putting everything else aside, although I don't know how long you stayed over there, you definitely started much higher than your peers. Look at you, you're already at the Golden Core, and it's only a matter of time before you recover to the later stages. Think about it, Tian Meng, with her talent and comprehension, and having cultivated for sixty years longer than you, is only at the Golden Core Perfection now. You'll catch up to her very soon. Weren't you captivated by her back then? Once your cultivation reaches that level, your uncle will put in a good word for you, and becoming your Daoist partner won't be a problem!"
