Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qi Dao absorbed Wushuang into his spine to continue nurturing her, while calmly looking at Xue Di with a faint smile.

"Now that the Snow Empress has acknowledged my talent, let's get back to the main topic."

Xue Di narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of seriousness appearing in her clear gaze.

She wanted to hear what method this astonished young human had in mind to help her become a god.

And what price will I have to pay?

This is the benefit that comes from showcasing one's own talent and value.

After demonstrating his talent and value, Qi Dao's words suddenly gained more credibility in Xue Di's mind.

Qi Dao continued, "Snow Empress, as the ruler of the Soul Beast Realm in the far north, you shouldn't be unaware of sacrifices, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's gaze toward Qi Dao suddenly sharpened.

Sacrifice!

The fact that this human suddenly brought up sacrifice at this moment was obviously not just a casual remark.

Combined with his previous inexplicable display of his talent and potential to himself.

At this moment, Xue Di seemed to have guessed what Qi Dao was planning.

She said nonchalantly, "So what if I know?"

Qi Dao smiled slightly, his tone sincere.

"Snow Empress, let's not beat around the bush. The reason I came to the far north to find you is to make a deal with you."

"I hope you can become my seventh spirit ring through sacrifice, and in return, I will resurrect you after I become a god and take you with me to the realm of gods."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di thought to herself, "Just as I thought!"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she sneered, "You want me to become your seventh soul ring?"

"Human, you've certainly made a clever plan."

Moreover, she had to admit that this human already possessed the potential to become a god. If she, a soul beast who had lived for nearly 700,000 years, were to voluntarily sacrifice herself to become his seventh soul ring, his chances of becoming a god would be even higher.

And if what he said is true, I really do have a chance to become a god with his help, but...

Qi Dao smiled and said, "Snow Emperor, I have already told you the method to become a god. As for whether you agree or not, that is your choice."

"I must remind you that you are the best choice for my seventh spirit ring, but not the only choice."

"So please give me a definite answer as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di was not affected by Qi Dao's words. After a moment, she said calmly, "How can I ensure that you will keep your promise and resurrect me after you become a god?"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "Snow Empress, I cannot give you any guarantees!"

"When you make a trade, you naturally have to take on risks, right?"

"For you, this is a huge gamble. If you win, you can become a god with me. If you lose, you will only be able to undergo your tribulation more than 10,000 years earlier."

Looking at Qi Dao's honest face, Xue Di would be lying if she said she wasn't tempted at all.

If she wants to safely survive the tribulation that lasts for seven hundred thousand years, she will have to find a treasure trove like the Lake of Life or the Mysterious Ice Cave.

However, the Lake of Life is located in the very center of the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, and it has been occupied by ferocious beasts such as Di Tian.

However, the Myriad-Year-Old Ice Cave was ruined by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Such a treasure trove is extremely rare and hard to find; if she could find it, she would have found it long ago.

Therefore, for her now, this human being in front of her is her last choice.

But as Qi Dao said.

This is a huge gamble!

If Qi Dao goes back on his word, then she will have died in vain!

Xue Di closed her eyes and fell into deep thought. Qi Dao saw this scene and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It seems the deal is most likely done!

As expected, a moment later, Xue Di slowly opened her eyes, a resolute look in them.

She's made up her mind!

Rather than waiting to face the heavenly tribulation ten thousand years from now, it's better to take this high-stakes gamble!

After weighing the pros and cons, she realized she didn't have many options.

Even ten thousand years later, she could still transform into human form before the heavenly tribulation descends.

Even so, her chances of becoming a god are still extremely low.

So why not take a gamble?

As Qi Dao said, there is no transaction without risk.

"This deal, I'll make it!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Qi Dao laughed and said, "Snow Empress, you have made the most important choice of your life!"

"I won't let you down!"

The Snow Empress said calmly, "I hope it's really as you say!"

Qi Dao smiled faintly and said, "Snow Emperor, you don't need to be so pessimistic. As a top-level soul beast that is nearly 700,000 years old, you have strong spiritual power. After the sacrifice, you may not be unable to maintain a clear mind and complete spiritual origin."

To achieve this through the sacrifice of a soul beast is extremely difficult.

Most of them, like Xiao Wu and Da Ming and Er Ming, lose their minds after sacrificing themselves, and their souls reside in soul rings or soul bones.

However, the original novel of Douluo Continent II mentions that a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has broken through its life limit once can release its spiritual essence.

When Bingdi sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao, she released her spiritual essence. However, although she was a soul beast with nearly 400,000 years of life, her spiritual power was still insufficient to maintain her clear intelligence after merging with Huo Yuhao. It was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that protected her spiritual essence, which allowed her to retain her intelligence and transfer it to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Of course, what Hyotei can't do, Yukitei might be able to do as well.

As a being formed from the purest primordial energy of the far north, the Snow Empress far surpasses the Ice Empress in both her soul beast bloodline and cultivation strength.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's eyes lit up.

If the person retains their consciousness and complete spiritual essence after the sacrifice, then it is not unacceptable.

"I hope so!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a snow-white sphere of light slowly rose from Xue Di's body, while her clear eyes gradually lost their luster and quickly dimmed.

Upon seeing this, Qi Dao immediately perked up.

The Snow Empress's sacrifice has begun!

The snow-white orb of light slowly floated to his brow and then suddenly burrowed inside.

At the same time, having lost control of her spiritual origin, Xue Di's body suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying ferocity.

Outside the palace, the extreme cold swept across the land, snow fell heavily, and the entire world seemed to be shrouded in frost, even altering the celestial phenomena.

Qian Daoliu's expression changed upon sensing this oppressive aura.

At first, he thought he could at least go toe-to-toe with the Snow Empress, but after feeling the pressure emanating from her body, he immediately lost that confidence.

at least...

In the far north, he was no match for the Snow Emperor!

Of course, even if a real fight broke out, Xue Di wouldn't be able to kill him.

At the same time, the voice of the Snow Emperor rang out within Qi Dao's spiritual sea.

"Human, I will first transfer the soul bone into your body, and then transfer the soul ring. Are you ready?"

Qi Dao smiled faintly and said, "Come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill suddenly surged into Qi Dao's body and bloomed in his spiritual sea.

In an instant, Qi Dao felt a shiver run through his body, and a feeling of falling into an ice cave arose spontaneously.
