Chu Qing slowly awoke, only to find himself sitting on an ice throne, with a group of people kneeling below, calling him Tower Master. For a moment, his mind went blank. Didn't he remember falling unconscious in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well -Yang Well?
He flew into the air, looking down at the majestic ice fortress below, and the endless Great Wall of Arctic defenses.
To be honest, he was somewhat shocked and asked:
"Did you guys do this at Ice Empress?"
"In reality, with humanity's current strength, it's not really capable of posing much of a threat to the Far North."
Ice Empress said:
"Mind your own business. Alright, now you can go back to Dou Ling if you want."
Two burly men, each over two meters tall, leaped up.
Chu Qing was startled upon sensing the auras; they were all powerful Soul Beast.
Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King noticed the change in Chu Qing's aura and said:
"Are you leaving Snow Empress Ice Empress?"
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress appeared. The Snow Empress held a snowflake-shaped Snow Empress Token in her hand and handed it to the Titan Snow Demon King.
" A-Tai, from this day forward you are the Lord of the North. You must protect the Soul Beast of the North."
As she spoke, she looked at the Ice Bear King and said:
" Xiao Bai, you need to keep a close eye on the Spirit Pagoda and be wary of these humans."
After giving them their instructions, they left. Chu Qing asked curiously:
Where did you find these people?
"Some small tribes living in the North are much more reliable than the people Di Tian found," said Ice Empress.
Chu Qing, however, had a hidden worry about this, and said:
"Have you passed on the Soul Spirit Secret Method cultivation to humans?"
"I've heard it; Xiao Bai and A-Tai alone can't handle it all."
Chu Qing immediately flew back and said:
You underestimate humanity.
Snow Empress Strange:
Why are you going back?
"Naturally, we should kill those who know the Soul Spirit Secret Method."
"Otherwise, if humans develop Artificial Soul Spirit in the future, Soul Beast will not be far from extinction."
Ice Empress was surprised.
"Now that we can research and create Artificial Soul Spirit, isn't that great? That way, humans won't have to hunt Soul Beast anymore."
However, a murderous glint appeared in Snow Empress's eyes.
Human greed is simply unimaginable.
So they returned and nearly wiped out all the high-ranking Spirit Transmission members of the North Spirit Pagoda.
As word spread, the Star Dou Great Forest conspired to purge the seven towers under their command. From then on, Spirit Transmitter became a thing of the past, replaced by Spirit Transmitting Beast with Mental Attribute.
Chu Qing's actions were immediately condemned by the four kingdoms of the continent. It was also known that he had created the Soul Spirit Secret Method, and everyone cursed him as a traitor.
Even after he returned to the Soul Fighting Society, his cooperation with the Star Luo Empire and Heavenly Soul kingdoms began to falter.
Princess Wei Na and Princess Jiujiu came to Lingdou City together, and Prince Chu Qing and Prince Xue Feng went to receive them.
Princess Wei Na stated her purpose directly, saying:
" Chu Qing, as allies, this is a crucial moment for us to work together against the Sun Moon Empire. We hope you can share the Soul Spirit Secret Method with us as well."
Chu Qing looked at Xu Jiujiu, and Xu Jiujiu nodded, saying:
" The Star Dou Great Forest is currently under strict control. Relying solely on other small and medium-sized Soul Beast forests, the Soul Ring simply cannot keep up with the consumption. If there were Soul Spirit Secret Method, it could be a temporary solution."
"A few years can have a significant impact on combat strength."
Chu Qing nodded and said:
"I know, but I'm sorry, you two, I will not pass on the Spirit Transmission Secret Method to you."
"I don't want to see the balance between Soul Master and Soul Beast lost one day."
"As for the problem, I will find a solution as soon as possible."
The meeting ended unhappily, and the Heavenly Soul Empire terminated the contract. Only Xu Jiujiu, still unwilling to give up, asked:
Are you really not going to pass it on?
Chu Qing nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to find a solution."
"I hope so." Xu Jiujiu sighed, "Don't worry, with Father Emperor and I here, Star Luo Empire will support you."
Even the Emperor of Dou Ling personally summoned Chu Qing and asked:
" Chu Qing, did you create the Soul Spirit Secret Method?"
Chu Qing nodded and said:
"Your Majesty, the Soul Spirit Secret Method only offers temporary benefits, but its drawbacks will last for ages. I am currently seeking a solution."
"As for the Star Dou Great Forest, I will negotiate with them to try and secure the Soul Spirit for our Dou Ling Army."
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Dou Ling decided not to press him further and said:
" Chu Qing, you can do it with peace of mind."
"You are a once-in-a-century talent in our Dou Ling; it's normal that some of your ideas are not understood by the world."
He then bestowed the golden scepter, representing the emperor, upon Chu Qing, saying:
"If the Star Dou Great Forest side has any requests, I allow you to agree on my behalf."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As Chu Qing spoke, he retrieved Bi Ji's essence. Originally, he intended it for Princess Xue Li, but now he naturally had to make a gesture first, introducing it as follows:
"Your Majesty, this is a trace of primordial power that I obtained from Senior Bi Ji in the Star Dou Great Forest. I now offer it to Your Majesty, and after refining it, it can allow the royal family's Martial Soul Evolution into Emerald Swan."
His words excited even the Emperor of Dou Ling. He quickly stepped down from his throne, took the document, and examined it with a look of infatuation, followed by a surge of greed. He said:
"Great, Chu Qing, could you go and ask for a little more?"
Chu Qing felt a bit overwhelmed and said:
"This is probably the only one available."
"If Your Majesty has nothing else, I will take my leave."
The Emperor of Dou Ling remained intently focused on Bi Ji's wisp of primordial power, speaking without turning his head:
"Go and rest now. You are a hero of our Dou Ling Empire. Don't worry, you won't be beaten in your hometown."
Thank you, Your Majesty.
He returned to the Soul Fighting Society, where Yang Tian, Xue Shiqi, and others were present.
Li Zhongyuan wrote with deep emotion:
"Our Soul Fighting Society hasn't been this lively in a long time."
Xue Shiqi asked bluntly:
"Brother Qing, are you really not going to teach me the Soul Spirit Secret Method?"
"Is it because of Ice Empress and Snow Empress?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress immediately appeared, saying with disdain:
"You're so weak, you little trash. Even if you had the Soul Spirit Method, I doubt any Soul Beast would be willing to become your Soul Spirit."
Xue Shiqi's lips twitched; he dared not say anything in front of Ice Empress.
With Ice Empress present, they couldn't very well ask any more questions about Soul Spirit.
"Is there anything anyone would like to eat?"
Chen Hanyu not only spoke up to ease the awkwardness, but also flattered Ice Empress by saying:
"Do you have any dietary restrictions at Ice Empress?"
Ice Empress looked at her and sneered:
I like to eat human flesh.
Chen Hanyu was startled, and the others being watched by Ice Empress also felt a chill run down their spines.
Chu Qing sighed helplessly and said:
"Let's have hot pot! Let's go out shopping now, buy whatever you want to eat, and then we'll cook it together."
The group went out together, and Ice Empress looked at Chen Hanyu and An Lengye with a wicked smile, saying:
"You guys can't even lift anything for me... Never mind, just carry my things. Maybe one day when I'm in the mood, I'll give you some pointers."
The two women were overjoyed at the question. How many beings in the world could surpass the Ice Empress -based skills? They nodded excitedly and followed behind the Ice Empress like two obedient little maids.
Chu Qing asked the Snow Empress in the Sea of Consciousness:
"Aren't you going to try some?"
Her clear, cold voice echoed from her Second Sea of Consciousness:
You don't need to call me anymore.
Within her Second Sea of Consciousness, the Snow Empress herself lay lazily on the Snow Goose Bed, her face flushed with excitement as she read a BL novel.
