The Snow Empress's Promise

Feeling the delicate, jade-like hand imprinted on her chest, the soft touch emanating from its palm stirred a flutter of desire in Yu Tianshuang.

Snow Empress's bright blue eyes gazed at her small hand pressed against his chest. After waiting for a while and finding nothing, she couldn't help but pout cutely and look at Yu Tianshuang with a puzzled expression.

Although the warmth against her chest made Yu Tianshuang somewhat lost in thought, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when Snow Empress's eyes, as vast as the ocean, looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"This, this, senior, things shouldn't be like this. That's exactly what Ice Empress- senpai did back then, and then the Purple Ultimate Big Dipper Seven Origins Seal flew out on its own. I didn't expect this situation either."

He raised his hand to touch his head to hide his embarrassment, and watched as the otherworldly beauty withdrew her jade-like hand from his chest, feeling a pang of reluctance.

Seeing that the crowd hadn't reacted at all, they approached, and thoughtful expressions appeared on their faces.

"I know! I locked onto him with my aura first, and then immobilized him with my Soul Power. Xue'er, you try it, remember to do it with hostility."

Ice Empress suddenly slammed her small fist into her palm, interrupting everyone's deep thoughts.

She rolled her eyes at the little cutie who was also among the top ten Ferocious Beast, and the Snow Empress's clear, ethereal voice rang out. "You Little Scorpion, how is this possible? You're just causing trouble. I was finally getting a clue, really."

After speaking, he pressed his slender fingers against Ice Empress's smooth, white forehead.

Yu Tianshuang, interrupted by Ice Empress's exclamation, caught a glimpse of that captivating glance. Her earlier conjectures vanished instantly, leaving only those unforgettable eyes.

Seeing his disciple staring intently at the Snow Empress, he quickly coughed twice to bring her back to reality, saying, "Ahem, seniors, I'm wondering if it's possible that my disciple's mysterious Purple Seal could be strengthened by passively or actively infusing Soul Power. Could it be that Senior Ice Empress is about to undergo the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, which caused the mysterious Purple Seal to appear, and because it directly absorbed the power of the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation?"

After hearing Shui Xinrou's words, everyone felt that they made some sense, but Ice Empress said, "This should only be one of the conditions. At that time, I was still some distance from passing the 400,000-year-old Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation, but this mysterious Purple Seal directly appeared and enhanced my cultivation, and it also changed some of my physical conditions at that time."

It was rare for Ice Empress to be so clever. Everyone realized that it was indeed the Purple Seal that appeared first, increasing Ice Empress's cultivation level and altering her body in two separate ways before she could fully transform into human form.

"Well, senior, after listening to your analysis, I'm starting to wonder if the Purple Ultimate Big Dipper Seven Origins Seal within me, which enhances Senior Ice Empress's power and alters her body, is all preparation for my breakthrough? Because only when Senior Ice Empress's cultivation breaks through can it trigger the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation, and only then can it absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to transform Senior Ice Empress into human form, providing me with the Soul Ring and Soul Bone for my breakthrough."

After carefully considering all the causes and consequences, Yu Tianshuang summarized her analysis and shared it. After listening, the others fell into deep thought.

"Xue'er, I think what he said makes a lot of sense. Besides, there's still some time before your 700,000-year Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation. Why don't we wait for him? When he breaks through to the next realm and needs Soul Ring, I'll bring him over then. Maybe that will work."

As the person involved, Ice Empress thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. The mysterious Purple Seal in Yu Tianshuang's body did help him break through his cultivation and become human with the purpose of helping him obtain Soul Ring. Of course, both parties benefited, so Ice Empress felt that it was a good thing, since the Purple Seal belonged to him.

"By the way, Tianshuang, now that you mention it, it makes sense. I have a theory now. Didn't you think that actively channeling Soul Power would double the rate at which your physical strength and total Soul Power increase? Try channeling Soul Power again now."

Although somewhat confused, Yu Tianshuang did as her teacher instructed, immediately channeling her Soul Power towards the Purple Ultimate Big Dipper Seven Origins Seal within her body.

As the Soul Power approached the Purple Seal along the meridians, the Purple Seal, which was already dazzling and magnificent after absorbing the Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation energy of the Ice Empress, now shimmered with even more dazzling purple light ripples. After the Soul Power poured in by Yu Tianshuang circled around it, it did not absorb it directly as before, but instead spat it out intact.

However, the Soul Power exhaled by the Purple Seal made Yu Tianshuang feel that not only was the total amount greater, but more importantly, the quality of the Soul Power was also greater. If what she had just poured in was 100 jin of soft cotton, then what the Purple Seal was exhaling now was 110 jin of finely forged steel.

Sensing the changes in the Purple Seal, Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but beam with joy. This would greatly reduce her cultivation time, and not only would the total amount of her Soul Power remain unchanged, but its quality would also be much stronger than before.

However, the observant Yu Tianshuang noticed that after the Purple Seal in her dantian emitted this Soul Power, its light dimmed slightly. It seemed that the Purple Seal was consuming the energy absorbed from the Ice Empress's Ferocious Beast Heavenly Tribulation.

"It seems that's indeed the case. The Purple Seal within Tianshuang's body is as I suspected. In that case, Senior Snow Empress, it seems that I can only help you when he breaks through to the next level."

After describing the changes in the Purple Seal within her body, Shui Xinrou revealed an expression of certainty as she spoke to Snow Empress.

"Hmm, it's alright. This little guy has reached this level at such a young age, so it shouldn't take you more than 10,000 years to break through to the next level, hehe."

In a great mood, Snow Empress was also very happy, and even her usually aloof nature broke into a joke.

Looking at the Snow Empress, who was covering her face and chuckling jokingly, Yu Tianshuang was somewhat stunned. At this moment, it seemed that only her beautiful figure existed in this icy world.

"Of course, I'll also make contingency plans. I won't give up the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus behind me. If you were to die by accident, I would be very distressed."

"Xue'er, don't worry, I will protect him and bring him safely to your side. After all, I am the king of the Far North!"

Patting her small chest, Ice Empress confidently assured Snow Empress.

"Alright, little guy, it's settled then. When you break through to the next realm, come find me here. I promise you I'll keep the three things I promised. Oh, and take this; consider it a little interest I'm paying in advance."

Snow Empress stretched out her fair and delicate hand, and a flash of light appeared in her palm. A snow-white ring, with a simple design and an inlaid snow-white gem the size of a fingernail, appeared in Snow Empress's palm.
