Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 215 Ice and Snow Paradise
……

Months later, at Lake Life, sunlight shines through the clear water, casting golden spots on the lakebed, resembling a dreamlike galaxy.

The lake surface shimmered, and a gentle breeze rippled across it.

Xuanming sat cross-legged on a huge blue stone by the lake, his eyes closed, his body radiating a soft and mysterious light.

The Yin-Yang Soul Core operated steadily within his body, like two stars echoing each other, releasing a vast and balanced power.

"Auntie, he's been sitting there for almost half a month, when will he wake up?"

Not far away, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was nestled in Bi Ji's arms, looking boredly at Xuan Ming sitting on the rock.

"I don't know, what's wrong?" Brigitte touched the head of the three-eyed golden lion.

"How boring! I was waiting for him to take me out to play," said the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Biji smiled gently, her eyes full of affection: "Xuanming is currently in a critical period of cultivation, so you mustn't disturb him. Once he wakes up, he'll naturally take you to play."

"Could he be like you, sleeping for hundreds or even thousands of years at a time?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked with some doubt.

The cultivation of soul beasts is extremely tedious and lengthy, and the cultivation of ferocious beasts is even more so, with periods of seclusion lasting hundreds of years. It is quite normal for them to sleep for thousands of years at a time. Usually, the Crimson King accompanies her on walks in the forest, which is incredibly boring.

She has lived for over five thousand years, but so far, the time she has actually spent playing with Biji and the others has been at most a few years. The rest of the time, everyone is in seclusion cultivating.

As for the other ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, they are not very intelligent and cannot get along with her.

Brigitte gently stroked the soft fur of the three-eyed golden lion and whispered, "No, he's human. He'll wake up soon."

"Humans...can I go with him to see the human world?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly asked.

“No.” Brigitte refused without even thinking.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion carries the destiny power of the Star Dou Great Forest, and it must not be harmed under any circumstances!

"Why? He can come here to play, so why can't I go out to play with him?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said, sounding aggrieved.

Brigitte sighed softly, hugged the three-eyed golden lion tighter, and explained gently, "It's different. This is our territory. We can guarantee his safety when he comes here, but if you go to human territory, he can't guarantee your safety."

“He is our friend, but humans may not be his friend. Moreover, there are many wicked people among humans. If they know your special identity, they will definitely try every means to capture you, and then we will be in big trouble.”

"Oh..." The three-eyed golden lion was still somewhat unwilling, but it understood that Princess Brigitte was doing it for its own good, so it could only nod helplessly.

Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished speaking, the light on Xuan Ming's body suddenly intensified, and the Yin-Yang Soul Core, which had been flowing smoothly, burst forth with even more dazzling brilliance. A powerful aura spread outwards from him.

Biji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were both drawn by the sudden commotion, and their gazes turned to Xuanming.

Xuanming took a deep breath, and the power of the Yin-Yang Soul Core within his body quickly receded. The light around him gradually dimmed, and he returned to normal.

"You succeeded?" Brigitte asked in disbelief.

As far as she knew, only Di Tian had successfully condensed and controlled this thing, and Xuan Ming had only taken such a short time to stabilize and control it.
"It's basically stable now." Xuanming jumped to the ground.

With Di Tian's guidance and after several months of training and mastery, he can now skillfully stabilize the Ice and Fire Soul Cores. When he takes action, he no longer needs the Ice Dragon King to help him stabilize one of them, as he did before.

"Have you found the Dark Demon God Tiger?" Xuanming asked.

In the past few months, his soul power has increased very rapidly. The Thunder Core energy he absorbed earlier is slowly being fed back into his body. In just four months, he has increased two levels and has now reached level fifty-nine.

Based on the current speed, he should be able to reach level 60 before the Soul Master Competition. If he can find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he can go directly to the City of Slaughter after the Soul Master Competition ends.

"Not yet. The Dark Demon God Tiger is very cautious. The Demon King and the others are helping to search, so it shouldn't be too long," Bi Ji said.

If it were any other soul beast, Di Tian would still need to consider the impact to some extent. After all, as the Beast God, he mobilized his beast horde to help humans find soul rings. But the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is different. Its existence is a great threat to the entire soul beast race.

Taking this opportunity to find that thing also eliminates a potential threat. Otherwise, she was worried that if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accidentally encountered it while playing outside, it would be dangerous.

The three-eyed golden lion jumped around excitedly and said, "Xuanming, Xuanming, now that you've finished your cultivation, can we play together now?"

Xuanming looked at Biji, who in turn glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Xuanming sighed, "What do you want to play?"

The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hmm... I don't know either. Anyway, I'll do anything as long as I can play with you!"

Looking at the excited Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Xuan Ming felt somewhat helpless. He really didn't know how to deal with children, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was just like Ning Rongrong back then, and the current situation was even more troublesome than before.

Back then, Ning Rongrong would drag him around to play, and all she needed was his company. But now, with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he has to think about everything they want to do.

But in this forest, there are only trees and grass. Last time, he had to bite the bullet and play hide-and-seek with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion all day long, like he was playing with a fool!

Then, the Ice Dragon King laughed at him for three days!
Xuanming frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, he slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, with the power of ice surging within them.

Wisps of white, chilling air rose from his palm and drifted through the air.

As the cold air was released, the surrounding temperature dropped, and fine ice crystals appeared on the lake surface, making a "crackling" sound.

Xuanming waved his hands, and the cold air gathered towards the center of the lake.

Wherever it passed, the lake water froze instantly, and the ice layer spread in all directions. Soon, the vast lake surface turned into a huge, flat ice surface, shimmering in the sunlight.

"What are you doing?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked in confusion.

Brigitte also cast a curious glance. She had almost always lived deep in the Star Dou Great Forest and knew very little about the human world.

"I'll build you an amusement park." Xuanming closed his eyes and, based on his memory of the amusement park and the entertainment facilities in Qibao City, manipulated the power of ice to create a concrete representation.

Ice pillars rise from the ice, intersecting and spiraling to outline the shape of a giant slide.

As Xuanming gestured, more cold air surged into the slide, making its surface smooth, solid, and gleaming with a ghostly blue luster.

On one side of the slide, icicles are stacked and merged to form a high jumping platform.

The diving platform has simple patterns along its edge, and below it is a huge ice pool with clear water and a thin layer of ice on the surface, allowing you to see the lake below.

Xuanming then created small igloos and various ice toys on the ice surface.

After completing these steps, Xuanming moved his hands in the air, and lines of ice intertwined and crisscrossed on the ice surface with his movements.

As the ice lines continue to extend and connect, a massive ice and snow maze gradually takes shape on one side of the amusement park.

Finally, Xuanming raised his hands, and countless ice flowers fell, scattering throughout the entire amusement park.

Ice flowers danced gracefully in the air, like dreamy elves, decorating the entire ice and snow amusement park like a fairy tale world.

The three-eyed golden lion's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. She cried out "Wow!" and eagerly broke free from Brigitte's embrace, running towards the amusement park like a carefree Alaskan Malamute.

"Auntie! Come on over!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shouted from the ice slide.

Biji looked at Xuanming, "You..."

"Go play with her, I'll get something to eat first." Xuanming took out his camping gear.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King have been at the bottom of the lake for some time, probably helping the Silver Dragon King recover. After explaining the situation of the Yin-Yang Soul Core to him and teaching him some things, Di Tian also went down and came up to check on him about once a month.

Usually, it was Biji who guarded him here. Originally, Ziji was also quite curious about him, but that older sister especially liked to tease him. The Ice Dragon King seemed to be a little jealous, so he called Ziji down to the bottom of the lake as well.

"Do you need my help?" Brigitte asked, looking at Xuanming fiddling with various bottles and jars.

"No need, I can handle it. You go keep her company; you'll get bored playing alone soon," Xuanming said.

Brigitte glanced at the unusually happy Three-Eyed Golden Lion and nodded, "Alright."

"Auntie! Come quick!"
