"Pure Ice Spirit, what's happening outside? I'm sensing a special aura, as if there's a place more suitable for life than the extreme north."
Xue Di, awakened in the depths of the extreme north's core, summoned the Pure Ice Spirit, born from pure ice elemental power, to inquire about the outside.
She appeared as a peerlessly graceful maiden, embodying ethereal beauty. Her long, pure white hair cascaded down her back, reaching her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were clear and transparent, as if capable of seeing through everything in the world.
Her slender, delicate figure was flawless, and her simple white dress, devoid of any adornment, made her appear so noble and stunning, like a winter plum blossom, standing out from the rest.
Pure Ice Spirits and ice and snow energies swirled around her. The scene was truly breathtaking.
The Pure Ice Spirit whispered beside Xue Di, speaking a language only they could understand, roughly translating to:
"We've sensed a place very suitable for carrying ice elemental power. It's very comfortable there. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the appearance of the Child of Ice, which is why everyone is so happy. They've woken from their slumber and started dancing together~"
"Child of Ice?"
Xue Di stepped out of her world, wanting to see what the Child of Ice looked like, the one causing the ice elements of the extreme north to become so agitated.
As Xue Di stepped out, the ice and snow elements in the core of the entire extreme north began to stir and swirl. Heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
Mu En also noticed the anomaly in the core of the extreme north, a sense of danger stirring within him.
"Qing Feng, pick a thousand-year Soul Beast. We'll capture it and absorb it on the outskirts. There might be a mutation here."
Watching the wind and snow stirred by the core of the extreme north, even Mu En couldn't remain calm.
Could it be that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts of the extreme north were truly about to appear? Qing Feng, you jinx (crow's mouth)! It's one thing not to ask, but when you do, it actually happens.
"Even you can't handle it?"
"Ahem, Teacher, of course I can handle it. But we Soul Masters shouldn't act atrociously just because our power is great. Sometimes, it's best not to forcefully interfere in the internal affairs of the Soul Beast world, as it can disrupt their evolutionary chain."
"Especially for a powerful individual like me, Teacher. If I don't act, it's fine. But if I do, hundreds or thousands of Soul Beasts might perish. That would be a loss for the entire Soul Master world."
Mu En explained.
Su Qing Feng nodded. If even the Dragon God Douluo advocated for leaving, he, with only ten levels of Soul Power, certainly couldn't go and seek death.
Because Su Qing Feng knew that Soul Beasts were very dangerous! Don't be fooled by the friendly demeanor of the surrounding extreme north Soul Beasts. Su Qing Feng had witnessed their power. For example:
The Ice Plain Wolf's sharp, three-clawed paws could easily pierce the ice layer and also tear through an enemy's body with a single swipe, gleaming with cold light.
The Emperor Penguin, while appearing beautiful and embodying a regal aura amidst its cute appearance, revealed teeth like a steel saw when it opened its mouth, capable of grinding even hard bones into powder.
Then there was the Ice Jade Scorpion, completely ice-white but possessing a jade-green tail. Not only could it pierce armor and metal, but it also contained potent venom. This was a rare species from the extreme north.
This was too terrifying!
Su Qing Feng could only force himself to remain calm, projecting an unparalleled ethereal aura that prevented anyone from seeing his inner anxieties.
Finally, Su Qing Feng and Mu En chose an Emperor Penguin, a Polar Dragon, an Ice Plain Wolf, and an Ice Jade Scorpion, all around a thousand years old. Just as they were about to leave.
On the glacier, Xue Di arrived, treading on snow. Her sight and senses could reach very far in the far north.
Her gaze finally fell upon Su Qing Feng and Mu En.
This human old man gave her a feeling of mystery and profoundness; he was very powerful!
As for the other one, it was as if heaven and earth were around him, with living beings flying around him. With another attentive look, Xue Di finally saw his face clearly. With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his peerlessly handsome appearance immediately stirred her heart.
How could such a handsome person exist in this world? Xue Di herself was very beautiful. She had seen her reflection on the ice and had also met some humans who ventured into the far north to explore or hunt Soul Beasts. Those people didn't even measure up to one-hundredth of her. But today, she had met someone even more handsome than herself. This person, both in appearance and temperament, made her heart flutter.
In the midst of the ice and snow, he was like an envoy sent from heaven.
Describing him as a child of God was no longer fitting, as Soul Beasts didn't have much affection for gods. Describing him as ethereal dust, a child of ice, a miracle star in the ice and snow would better fit Xue Di's inner feelings.
Naturally, she was a Heavenly Snow Woman, born and raised in the wild. When she came into the world, she was alone and accustomed to the cold. She didn't understand what it meant to be moved or to have feelings, but there was one thing she could be sure of.
That was, she really wanted to go to his side.
Then, she crossed space, transforming into a mass of ice and snow, and descended fifty meters in front of Su Qing Feng.
Mu En stepped forward, blocking Su Qing Feng. He said lightly:
"Qing Feng, step back. This fellow is not simple."
"En!"
Su Qing Feng retreated three steps until the peerlessly elegant girl from the ice and snow walked out barefoot, her every movement drawing upon the power of ice and snow.
Su Qing Feng cried out in dismay, thinking, "This is probably either the Ice Empress or the Snow Empress, one of the three kings of the far north!" Mu En also focused. Although he didn't retreat a single step, he had already sensed the other party's power.
The next moment, nine Soul Rings appeared beneath Mu En's feet. The arrangement of these Soul Rings was enough to surprise almost everyone: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red!
Behind the hunched old man, a sacred dragon appeared, its entire body white and gold, each scale emitting a dazzling radiance.
"I am here! No matter who you are, you won't be able to harm my disciple one bit."
Mu En snorted. Although he always looked like an old man on his last legs, when he fought, his figure appeared so tall.
"Powerful human Soul Master, please lower your guard. I have no ill intentions. I came for him."
Xue Di's voice was clear, cold, and ethereal, but when she looked at Su Qing Feng, her icy face softened like melting snow on a plateau, and she smiled! "What do you want?"
Mu En dared not relax his vigilance. The attack of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if he was not careful, even a mere graze on Su Qing Feng would kill him.
"I want to see your Martial Soul, just to see it. I won't do anything else, is that okay?"
Xue Di looked at Su Qing Feng. That face made her smile, and her smile made the Far North Snow Mist Flowers bloom.
It was a plant exclusive to the Extreme North, and also the food for many Soul Beasts that survived there. It was ice- blue in color and bloomed brilliantly.
Su Qing Feng glanced at Mu En. After Mu En nodded, Su Qing Feng summoned his Martial Soul.
Vast stars manifested behind him, with an unclaimed Polar Star still awaiting its master.
Under the rendering of his Martial Soul, Su Qing Feng's charm increased once more. Any creature possessing wisdom would be captivated by him.
His looks were off the charts!
Without hesitation, Xue Di transformed into a ball of snow-white aura. A terrifying domain appeared, and she flew directly into Su Qing Feng's Polar Star.
At this moment, Mu En was stunned. After snapping back to reality, he stomped his feet frantically. Damn it! You said you'd just look and not go in?! !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
