Chapter 125 Snow Queen's Choice
As Snow Emperor asked the question, Ice Emperor also appeared outside the ice cave but did not enter.
Only then did she clearly feel from Huo Yuhao's second martial soul that the threat she had previously sensed did not come from the might of a real dragon, but from the ultimate ice that was far purer than her own.
Huo Yuhao did not directly answer Xue Di’s question, but continued: “I am showing you my martial spirit because I know more about ice than you think.”
At the same time, as the blood-red soul ring under the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit lit up, similar to the little white fox but different, along with the condensation of ice crystals, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass also temporarily separated its spirit from Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
"The Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass with a cultivation period of one hundred thousand years?" Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were even more surprised at this time, because they knew that even in the Far North, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass could be regarded as a magical grass that existed in legends.
After all, its existence is of great benefit even to a soul beast with the ultimate ice attribute, such as the Ice Jade Scorpion, not to mention other soul beasts.
Once the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass is born, it usually cannot survive more than a thousand years and will become food for soul beasts with better luck, let alone cultivate intelligence and become a hundred thousand year soul beast.
"For the current situation of the Ice Emperor, I have two solutions. I am not in a position to elaborate on the best solution at the moment. The middle solution is to go to the place where the octagon grows, a treasure land called the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."
"There is an ice spring among them. Although its scale is not as large as the Ice God Lake which gathers the essence of the entire Far North, its purity is still better. My martial soul also completed its transformation through this opportunity."
"If the Ice Emperor can withstand the cleansing of the Ice Spring water and take other magical herbs, then the hidden injuries sustained by the Ice Emperor can naturally be healed."
"In this way, when facing the next catastrophe, Ice Emperor's chances of surviving it will naturally be greatly increased."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor both lit up. Although Huo Yuhao did not mention Snow Emperor, since this place could be used as a treasure land for Ice Emperor to heal his injuries, it would naturally be of great benefit to Snow Emperor as well.
"As for the next best option, you two have seen the situation of Xiaobai and Bajiao now. Brother Tianmeng, I would like you to explain it to Bingdi and Xuedi."
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a slightly trembling white and fat silkworm shadow was released by Huo Yuhao.
In addition to Bingdi, the three-eyed golden lion on the side also recognized the other party, and when he saw the other party appear, Bingdi was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"So it's you, you damn big bug!" Bingdi's aura surged, how could she not be angry?
If the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave in the extreme north had not been obtained by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow nurtured in that cave would have been more than enough to support her and the Snow Emperor through the next few catastrophes.
Moreover, due to the unlimited absorption of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Wanzai Mysterious Ice Cave located in the far north has been completely destroyed.
Otherwise, if carefully planned, perhaps some energy could be condensed during these ten thousand years. Even if it was not used for cultivation, it would be better than nothing as a supply for overcoming the tribulation.
As the strongest beast in the Far North, if she and Snow Queen could have discovered the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave earlier, how could they have ended up in the current situation where one is seriously injured and the other is rebuilding herself?
Tian Meng was complaining bitterly at this time. His initial idea was to use the power of his silkworm shell to forcibly control Bingdi, and then force her to submit when he had complete control over her.
He has been planning this for more than one or two years. Based on his understanding of Bingdi's personality, as long as he can put Bingdi in a desperate situation, then Bingdi will most likely agree to his plan to create a god.
But he didn't expect that Huo Yuhao threw him out of the sea of consciousness without even saying a word.
Huo Yuhao shrugged, while Xue Di beside him said, “Bing’er, calm down.”
Xue Di's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the raging anger in Bing Di's heart.
Seeing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also hurriedly tried to please the Ice Emperor, and in the process, he listed the wisdom soul ring, the ascension plan, and Huo Yuhao's current achievements one by one.
However, after following Huo Yuhao for so long, Tianmeng Bingcan also knew that there were some things that should not be said.
For example, the existence of Elder Yi, or some of Huo Yuhao’s trump cards. Although even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not very clear about how much Huo Yuhao had hidden.
"So you want me to become this human's spirit ring like you?"
Huo Yuhao took back the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and did not give him the opportunity to continue to provoke the Ice Emperor's emotions.
"That's not the case. It's just that if the Ice Emperor fails to survive the tribulation but still wants to stay in the world, I can tell him how to form a wisdom spirit ring."
Huo Yuhao then looked at the Snow Queen with a calm gaze: "After all, according to my observation, although the Snow Queen's aura is no less than that of a Super Douluo, her actual cultivation level is probably still around level eighty-nine."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor fell silent, and the Ice Emperor also calmed down his aura. Huo Yuhao ignored the noise made by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his sea of consciousness and continued speaking.
"I brought Rui'er with me this time. I want to tell you that I sincerely want to cooperate with you. There is an inherent contradiction between soul masters and soul beasts due to their cultivation systems."
"But with the emergence of wisdom spirit rings, this is no longer as irreconcilable as before. Although the existence of wisdom spirit rings is not the optimal solution to the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts, it is indeed a direction."
Hearing this, Xue Di sighed softly: "Tell me about the best strategy you mentioned. The middle and worst strategies show your sincerity. You are right. Bing'er and I are willing to trust you now."
Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head and said, “For the worst plan, what I’m asking for is a favor from Snow Queen. For the middle plan, what I’m asking for is the help from both Ice Queen and Snow Queen.”
"As for the best strategy, what I want to seek is the power of the entire Far North. I have already stated this in advance."
Snow Queen stroked the Ice Queen's shell and did not interrupt, but let Huo Yuhao continue speaking.
"Compared to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave and the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow are the most suitable places for ice-attributed soul beasts and soul masters to practice."
“Similarly, only soul beasts with ultimate attributes, or ice-attribute soul masters with super Douluo cultivation, or ice-attribute soul masters with the same ultimate attributes are qualified to use it.”
"Compared to the ice spring of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the benefits of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave for the ultimate ice attribute soul beasts are even greater." "After all, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave was created by the magic of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in it is very easy to refine except for the extreme cold. And I happen to know one, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave."
After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Ice Emperor immediately became excited, while Snow Emperor frowned slightly and thought carefully about Huo Yuhao's words.
The rewards sought in the middle and lower strategies that Huo Yuhao had proposed earlier were not excessive requests.
Because no matter whether it is the worst plan or the middle plan, neither can give Ice Emperor absolute certainty to deal with the next catastrophe.
But the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave is different. Even if it is not used as a place for cultivation, it is still a good choice as a place to avoid disasters.
Otherwise, why could the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cultivate for millions of years without any disaster or catastrophe?
Apart from the fact that his race is indeed special, he has cultivated for more than 900,000 years but his soul power is still weak. His strength will not cause him to trigger thunder other than the catastrophe that lasts for a million years.
The Wanzai Xuanbing Cave also deserves credit for its contribution. As a place of treasure with ice attributes, it is very easy to be destroyed due to the difficult conditions for its formation.
Therefore, it has special innate effects. As long as the general ice-attributed beasts enter a dormant state here, the energy of their bodies will be covered and integrated into the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave, and therefore will not trigger a thunder disaster.
Although for a beast of the Ice Emperor's level, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave can only buy her a few thousand more years at most, but combined with the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow it can heal her own injuries.
It can be said that the Ice Emperor is absolutely sure to survive the next catastrophe. If the amount of Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow is large enough, it is not impossible for him to even go a step further.
For Xue Di, the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow can also be used as her original power. Only by using the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow can she break through the shackles of level ninety.
In this way, she would no longer need other hundred thousand year soul beasts with ice attributes to sacrifice for her. If she did not have the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, then the choices for her ninth soul ring would most likely be the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King, who would have difficulty surviving the next catastrophe.
Even though the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King were absolutely willing to sacrifice for her, the Snow Emperor found it difficult to accept. This was why she had not yet left the core area of the Far North and headed to the human world to seek a breakthrough opportunity.
The Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave that Huo Yuhao mentioned would undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, as well as the entire Far North.
In this case, Xue Di would have to consider whether the price of relying on the power of the entire Far North was worth it if she followed what Huo Yuhao said.
If she takes herself as the criterion, then this is obviously a great deal, but as the ruler of the Far North, Xue Di's sense of responsibility makes it difficult for her to make a decision.
At this time, the Ice Emperor had a fierce look in her eyes, but with the comfort of the Snow Emperor and because of the presence of the Emperor's auspicious beast beside her, she temporarily calmed down from the brink of rampage.
The hidden injuries on her body, the urgency of the catastrophe, and the hope of prolonging her life made it really difficult for her to endure as she had been in an emotionally unstable state in recent days.
"That being said, no matter what you two think or whether you want to cooperate, I am happy to accept it."
Compared to the struggle between the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao was sitting on the Diaoyutai at this time. After all, what the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress were considering were lives and species, while what Huo Yuhao was considering was just the need for extra help.
Huo Yuhao remained silent as he listened to the questions in Di Ruier's heart being conveyed to him through the soul contract.
The exposed Ice Dragon King's martial spirit revealed that he must be related to a place closely related to the Ice Dragon King. Huo Yuhao was not surprised by this, but at the same time, this was also a decision he made after much consideration.
Because in today's Douluo Continent, there are only three real dragons. Apart from the real dragon egg whose identity is unknown, there are only Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King.
If Huo Yuhao wanted to make the most of the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, he would have to come into contact with both of them.
As for using undead magic to control it, let alone the fact that Huo Yuhao currently has no absolute control over the god-level dragon soul.
After all, neither Alex’s recovery nor Huo Yuhao’s own strength can be called perfect.
Even if it is possible, based on the performance of the Silver Dragon King in the original novel, the unconscious Gu Yuena was able to make the Ice and Fire Dragon Spirits turn against her. Now that the conscious Silver Dragon King is here, will there be any way to control or utilize her?
After all, as the Silver Dragon King who is the half of the Dragon God, what she inherited is part of the elemental power, and the nine dragon kings are not the real descendants of the Dragon God, but powerful dragons who were granted a part of the elemental power of the other party.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao wanted to use Di Ruier as a link to indirectly establish a connection with the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, although soul beasts and soul masters do not get along well with each other, Huo Yuhao also disliked the divine realm above his head.
We cannot say that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, but there is indeed the possibility of cooperation between Huo Yuhao and the Star Dou Great Forest.
Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest contains the largest amount of life gold, and if Huo Yuhao wants to perfect the undead demiplane, the existence of life gold is absolutely indispensable.
Because the undead demiplane lacks a complete food chain, it is unable to form a complete and growing space through the cycle of the food chain. This is why the demiplane can never become a real plane.
The gold of life is undoubtedly the most convenient way to promote the evolution of a half-plane through huge vitality, and then make it a complete plane.
However, even with the information about the Soul-Devouring Knife and the golden tortoise shell in the original novel, these two cannot completely complete the undead demiplane.
And if this can be used to complete the undead half plane, then ascending to the God Realm will not be Huo Yuhao's only option.
After a while, Xue Di also made up her mind: "Wan Zai Xuan Bing Cave, I hope to know its location."
"As for the conditions you mentioned before, Bing'er and I can swear to heaven and earth that if you need us, we will lead the tribes in the Far North that obey our orders to raise a tide of beasts to fight for you."
"But no matter what, if there is a possibility that the soul beasts in the Far North will suffer an extinction-level blow, then we have the right to retreat at any time."
Huo Yuhao added: “Other soul beasts can retreat, but you and Ice Emperor cannot. You must fight with all your might.”
"Although there is a heavenly calamity as punishment for violating the oath of heaven and earth, I hope to add a soul contract as a constraint on this basis."
