Chapter 89: Changes in the Far North
After a brief exchange with the five-tailed white fox.

Huo Yuhao said to Jin Peng, “Great Elder, I have almost finished talking to it. The story of sacrifice is indeed believable. I can sense that it has no hostility.”

"I'm going to give it a try. After all, the benefits that a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice brings to a soul master are far greater than the ordinary absorption of soul rings. Even if it's impossible, I'm confident that I can get away."

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you any further. I will guard you outside the door. If anything unexpected happens, call me immediately."

Jin Peng finally left Huo Yuhao's training room and came to guard the door. At the same time, he also had to recover from his injuries.

After all, the injuries he had suffered in the Far North were not light. Although he had been stabilized before rushing back to the Body Sect, he still had to hurry up to recover.

Because the opponent he faced in the core area of ​​the Far North at that time was the Ice Emperor Scorpion, one of the ten most ferocious beasts.

Even though the Ice Emperor did not kill the fox for some reason in the end, and allowed the five-tailed white fox to follow him out of the Far North, the injuries caused by the extreme ice after he stopped should not be underestimated.

In the training room, a man and a fox stood opposite each other. Looking at the five-tailed white fox in front of him, Huo Yuhao did not accept the other party's sacrifice immediately, but first communicated with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's ideas, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm assured him with full confidence. After all, it had spent a lot of time studying the secret methods in this area.

"It's okay, Yuhao, just trust me. Regardless of whether the little fox cooperates or not, it is very easy to preserve its consciousness after the sacrificial ceremony."

"After all, sacrifice is different from absorbing spirit rings. Although the spirit beast that sacrifices itself will die more thoroughly, it will also be more thoroughly integrated by the spirit master."

"As long as I can separate a portion of the energy source and use it as a container to carry the little fox's consciousness, then it won't be a problem for me to preserve its will."

"Those ordinary soul beasts are all big fools, but I'm different! I can retain my wisdom and merge with you. This is something I researched based on sacrifice."

But then Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked with some doubt: "But I have a question, if this is the case, its soul bone will definitely not be preserved. The soul bone produced by the five-tailed fox is definitely a very special existence."

Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter. No matter how special a soul bone is, the soul skills contained in it are nothing more than the reproduction of the abilities that the soul beast possessed when it was alive, or part of the potential abilities in its bloodline.”

"For me, if I want to, it won't be difficult to master all the abilities it has."

"So compared to a soul bone that has not reached the 100,000-year level, preserving the consciousness of this five-tailed white fox will let me know its true purpose."

"This is the most important thing right now. If we keep it, it may be of other use."

After that, Tianmeng Bingcan didn't say anything more: "Okay, brother is ready, Yuhao, you can start anytime."

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and said to the five-tailed white fox in front of him, "Come on, it's time to start."

Then Huo Yuhao placed his right hand on the white fox’s head.

The white fox closed its eyes, and its whole body emitted bursts of white light mixed with golden strands.

Then the lights began to rise, forming wisps of flames, as if they were burning violently.

At this time, a circle of mixed platinum and gold colors formed around Huo Yuhao and the five-tailed white fox, isolating any external objects from coming into contact with the two of them.

The sacrifice has begun.

Because the difference in strength between the two was not that big, and the sacrifice of the five-tailed white fox was all-round cooperation, Huo Yuhao did not feel any discomfort during the process.

At this time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also took action. If the protagonist of the sacrifice was the Ice Emperor, a powerful beast with cultivation level, then Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would naturally have to negotiate with her in advance and get her full cooperation so that the wisdom soul ring could be successfully formed.

But the five-tailed white fox is different. Even though its bloodline is noble, it has only been practicing for 50,000 years at this moment.

In addition, it does not have the unique characteristics of the Emperor's auspicious beast, nor is it influenced by the huge luck of the Star Forest.

After entering the sacrificial state, the five-tailed white fox's spiritual essence, having lost the protection of its physical body, can naturally be easily controlled by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The sacrifice process went quite smoothly. As the body of the five-tailed white fox gradually faded, its spiritual essence was wrapped in a part cut from its original energy, separated from the soul ring and integrated into Huo Yuhao's body.

The sacrifice was successful and everything was over.

After obtaining the fourth soul ring, Huo Yuhao’s soul power naturally made a breakthrough and began to increase rapidly, from level 41, level 42, level 43, until it reached level 44.

With the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brand fully automatic cultivator, this part of the deficiency can be completed in no time.

A 50,000-year-old five-tailed white fox can directly increase Huo Yuhao's soul power by more than three levels, because this is brought about by sacrifice.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if Huo Yuhao absorbed the opponent's spirit ring, he would probably only be able to increase his spirit power by two levels at most.

However, no accidents occurred, and it was impossible for an accident to occur. The spiritual essence of the five-tailed white fox was also preserved by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"?" The five-tailed white fox looked around with some doubt, at the vast sea of ​​spirit, and the huge vertical pupil hanging high in the sky above the sea of ​​spirit, overlooking everything.

At the same time, it possesses intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, and after arriving in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, it can also "speak" normally.

After Tianmeng Bingcan, as an old predecessor, deceived the five-tailed white fox with a lot of nonsense, the simple-minded fox also believed in the plan called "creating a god".

At this time, Huo Yuhao's spirit body emerged from the sea of ​​spirits and appeared in front of it. He said, "Now is the time to have a frank talk."

"You are willing to sacrifice yourself to bind my destiny to the Far North. Has anything major happened in the Far North recently?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on the side also came over. After all, the Far North was his hometown, and most importantly, the Ice Emperor was still in the Far North.

The five-tailed white fox replied through his spiritual power: "Yes. Because Lady Ice Emperor is about to pass the tribulation, and if she, as one of the three kings of the Far North, fails, it will be a huge blow to the Far North."

"Although I am not the auspicious beast of the Far North, I grew up in the Far North and enjoyed the blessing of the Far North's luck. I don't want to see my homeland invaded by humans after losing the protection of Lord Ice Emperor." Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly became excited: "Why didn't I think of this? Damn it, if your luck really helps, Yuhao. Ice Emperor, oh, by the way, I didn't make it clear to you, Yuhao, before."

"The second martial soul choice of the Ultimate Ice that I first selected for you is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor!"

"Under normal circumstances, she would never be able to survive this ordeal. I have prepared other means, and I will definitely be able to win her for you!"

"Damn it, it's a little late now. I should have brought you, Yuhao, to the Far North earlier."

"Yuhao, we must make plans early now." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and ignored him. He continued to speak to the five-tailed white fox: “I can sense that you are probably hiding something.”

"Although the loss of the Ice Emperor will cause a great blow to the Far North, the Far North is a dangerous place with a harsh environment. Coupled with other powerful soul beasts and fierce beasts, it is not an easy target to control."

"In the sea of ​​spirit, I am the master here. Your words and deeds are all hidden from me. Now, tell me honestly."

"If I don't want it, then the power of luck that I possess will be shared by the Far North."

Hearing this, the five-tailed white fox lowered its head. It understood that Huo Yuhao’s words were not false.

After it merged with Huo Yuhao through sacrifice, it felt the strong control Huo Yuhao had over his own power of luck, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could possess by chance.

"Okay, okay, actually there is one more thing. In addition to Lord Ice Emperor's upcoming tribulation, Lord Snow Emperor has also used a special secret method to reincarnate as a human to rebuild his cultivation."

"But if something unexpected happens, the Far North will lose two major pillars in succession. Moreover, the Snow Emperor and the Far North will rise and fall together."

"Before Lord Snow Emperor resumed his cultivation, he passed on a portion of his cultivation to Lord Ice Emperor. But even so, Lord Ice Emperor only has a 30% chance of surviving the tribulation."

"It is precisely because of this that Lord Snow Emperor is now quite weak, so I need to use the power of your luck to give Lord Ice Emperor a little more confidence."

"If anything happens to them, the Far North will be in turmoil, and there will be an external threat from humans."

"Ah? This." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on the side stood there in a daze.

He didn't expect so many things to happen in the Far North. Now his original arrangements might really be ruined.

Furthermore, in the current situation, the Ice Emperor can only protect the Snow Emperor if she is alive. Even after her recovery, the Snow Emperor is unable to help the Ice Emperor overcome the calamity. She has to face the calamity alone, which she has only a 30% chance of surviving.

The so-called 30% probability is actually only theoretical when the ferocious beast is undergoing tribulation. The actual situation will probably be even worse.

After all, the Ice Emperor still has hidden injuries from his previous tribulation that have not yet healed, and there are no soul beasts or natural treasures that are good at healing in the Far North. If his hidden injuries break out, his success rate will drop by at least half.

Huo Yuhao nodded. The facts were pretty much what he had guessed. However, there were probably some details that the five-tailed white fox didn't know.

The reason why it knew all this was probably because of its auspicious identity.

However, with only 50,000 years of cultivation, the influence it can have on the luck of the Ice Emperor who is about to undergo a tribulation is insignificant, like a drop in the bucket, and has no effect at all.

"I almost understand it now. Brother Tianmeng, don't worry. Even if the Ice Emperor is about to pass the tribulation, it may take at least a year or two for the soul beast to settle down."

"And with the help of the spirit fox's sacrifice, my luck is now connected to the Far North."

"From what I can see, the luck and fortune in the Far North is currently stable and there are no fluctuations. It will probably take at least a year and a half before the Ice Emperor can overcome the tribulation."

"Okay, Brother Tianmeng, you can chat with your fellow villagers here first. I will go back to practice first."

After understanding the situation, Huo Yuhao did not plan to stay here any longer.

After all, he had just fused his fourth soul ring, so Huo Yuhao naturally needed to experience it carefully first.

The soul skills and luck power that the five-tailed fox brought to Huo Yuhao were not closely related. After all, its own level was not as good as that of the imperial auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion, which could forcibly interfere with the power of luck.

However, the five-tailed fox brought its innate soul skill to Huo Yuhao, which is called the Fox's Tail.

In fact, it is through storing the spiritual power, energy and vitality that overflow from daily practice and exercise and are not completely absorbed and transformed by the human body.

Release it directly at the critical moment to restore your strength to the best state.

As a container of energy, this fourth soul skill cannot compare to the huge energy that the gold of living things can carry.

However, this fourth soul skill can allow Huo Yuhao to instantly recover his full combat power in a short period of time, rather than recovering slowly through the nourishment of the gold of life like a long stream of water.

It can be regarded as a trump card that can be used at any time in battle, which is not bad for Huo Yuhao now.

After all, if Huo Yuhao wanted to fight with others now, he only needed to make a slight move against the general opponent, and he could defeat him with a combination of soul skills without even incurring much consumption.

However, if he were to fight against an expert, Huo Yuhao would have to project a large number of runes, soul power circuits, and magic structures through mental projection, and the energy consumed would not be a small amount.

However, this soul skill can only store energy five times at most, which is enough to instantly restore Huo Yuhao to his peak state.

But this is only limited by the age of the soul ring. Huo Yuhao, who possesses the spiritual power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, can continue to improve this soul skill in the future. When this soul skill is improved to 100,000 years, it can be stored up to nine times.

Even without the help of this soul skill, Huo Yuhao can replicate it through the soul power circuit and open up a series of "backup hidden energy" in his body. However, this soul skill is sufficient for the moment, so it is naturally not needed.
