The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Xu Zihuang lowered his head and asked Ning Tian with concern.

"How are you? Are you alright? If you feel cold, you can let Tianmeng use its ability to remove the molted remains."

"No need, Tianhuang. This is fine as it is." Ning Tian smiled sweetly and rested her head gently against Xu Zihuang's chest.

Without the biting cold wind, her soul power cultivation was more than enough to withstand such low temperatures. Moreover, the harsher the external environment, the more peaceful and warm she felt being close to Yu Tianhuang.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time entering the far north. If I hadn't met you at Shrek Academy and had stayed in the sect to cultivate step by step, I probably would never have had the chance to come here in my life."

As he spoke, Ning Tian nestled closer to Xu Zihuang's embrace.

"What's wrong with you? If you're like this, anyone who didn't know better would think you're my adopted daughter," Xu Zihuang chuckled, teasingly. Since their respective mindsets had changed, their daily interactions had become no different from those of any ordinary couple.

They were, after all, still young. Their early years were different from those of their peers because they carried too much on their shoulders.

Ning Tian looked up at Xu Zihuang thoughtfully and said with unusual seriousness, "Xu Zihuang, do you like daughters?"

"Hmm?" Their eyes met, and Xu Zihuang's expression instantly turned strange. He didn't recall ever having this kind of interaction with Ning Tian.

Ning Tian realized the ambiguity in her words and lightly bumped her pretty face against Xu Zihuang's chest, her cheeks flushed like cherry blossoms.

"I mean, if we have our own child in the future, would you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"As long as it's a continuation of our bloodline, I love it." Xu Zihuang affectionately combed Ning Tian's smooth platinum-gold hair, while simultaneously releasing his spiritual power to perceive the surrounding situation.

"Alright, we've now entered the far north."

Trusting Yu Tianhuang, Ning Tian ignored these concerns and leaned closer with affection in her eyes, her red lips slightly parted.

"dad."

A barely perceptible sound was mixed in with the warm breath beside her ear.

But with Xu Zihuang's cultivation level, how could he not hear it? His body instinctively stiffened.

At that moment, Ning Tian sat up a little straighter.

Xu Zihuang saw Ning Tian's ambiguous smile. Faced with this situation, he could only feel apologetic towards the one far away in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

……

The far north is even more vast than the Star Dou Great Forest. However, due to the barrenness of the far north, the number of soul beasts is not very large.

The most terrifying aspect of the Far North lies in its overall strength, especially the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts. After all, the environment here is too harsh, and few human soul masters dare to venture deep into the region to hunt soul beasts. This results in the fact that almost all soul beasts in the Far North with relatively strong species are able to successfully cultivate to the 100,000-year level.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian traveled on the Demon Whale for an unknown amount of time, and the surroundings remained pitch black. Only the howling of the cold wind could be heard.

However, Xu Zihuang sensed the changes in the strength of the nearby soul beasts through his mental power, and he was certain that they had entered the core area of ​​the far north and were affected by the polar night environment.

In other places, it would already be daytime by now.

Continuing deeper into the core of the far north, before long, streaks of brilliant, ethereal green light began to flicker and change shape in the night sky, radiating a beautiful and dazzling glow. If one disregarded the extreme climate, it would be nothing short of a breathtakingly beautiful paradise on earth.

"So beautiful." Ning Tian and Xu Zihuang stood side by side, their eyes like stars, reflecting the aurora in the night sky.

"I never imagined that such a scene still existed on the mainland."

Everything before them confirmed that Xu Zihuang's judgment was correct. They had indeed arrived at the core region of the far north.

Before Ning Tian could respond, Xu Zihuang lowered his head and pressed his face close to Ning Tian's, their breaths mingling. Since Ning Tian wanted to build more memories together, he was naturally willing to do so as well.

Ning Tian pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a sweet smile, quite satisfied with Yu Tianhuang's initiative.

However, somewhat of a downer, the temperature in the core area of ​​the far north was extremely low. Xu Zihuang was fine, but Ning Tian's lips had lost some of their usual warmth.

"Tianmeng, stop pretending to be asleep and get to work." Xu Zihuang flicked the golden sun earring hanging on his left ear with his left index finger, exposing the lazybones who had been pretending to be asleep even though he had been awake for a long time.

The ten strange golden patterns on the Golden Sun earring flickered, and a thin, pale golden film quietly adhered to the soul-guiding shield of the Demon Whale. This time, even the terrifyingly low temperatures of the far north were blocked.

This pale golden membrane is the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"I just didn't want to bother you. Do you want me to be a third wheel?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's resentful voice suddenly rang out, then her tone changed to seriousness: "Tianhuang, your method is feasible. My ice attribute origin is still intact, and it can indeed assist Ning Tian in absorbing the ultimate ice attribute Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring. However, Bingbing will spend most of her time with her clan. If you want to hunt an Ice Jade Scorpion with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years as a Soul Ring, you are very likely to face the entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan led by Bingbing."

Xu Zihuang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were of one mind, and he smiled calmly.

"Tianmeng, just tell me your thoughts and suggestions. Given our relationship, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, transforming into a golden ice silkworm as thick as a little finger. It landed on Xu Zihuang's left shoulder, shaking its head and swaying.

"Didn't I tell you before? My ice attribute origin can grant any Soul Master a second ice attribute Martial Soul. Although you can't use Tianhuang, you can give it to Ning Tian. The chances of Bingbing surviving the next Heavenly Tribulation are extremely slim, so we can definitely negotiate with Bingbing. And it's not the only way."

“Tianmeng, Tianhuang actually told me about this. But with my physical strength, fusing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion into my martial soul might be quite difficult.” Ning Tian frowned slightly; she was well aware of her own situation.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is ultimately just Yu Tianhuang's soul spirit. Even if it can help her seal the energy of the Ice Emperor's soul ring and soul bone, it will probably have to bear certain risks.

Another reason is that she was raised as a support-type spirit master from a young age. Having a second spirit that can be used for combat would undoubtedly require a lot of her energy.

Moreover, Ning Tian had his own plan: adding an ice-attribute martial soul would completely ruin this plan.

Therefore, these were temporarily put aside by them.

Xu Zihuang seemed to understand Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's idea and said, "Tianmeng, are you saying that negotiating with the Ice Emperor doesn't necessarily require him to become Ning Tian's second martial soul? He can also become the soul spirit of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul. That way, there's almost no risk."

The fusion of soul spirits is based on voluntary consent, essentially a soul beast offering itself as a sacrifice to the soul master. The fusion of soul rings and soul bones is a natural progression. The prerequisite is simply that one's own spiritual power can support the soul spirit.

Quite coincidentally, Ning Tian's head soul bone skill could connect with Xu Zihuang's spiritual power. With the assistance of Xu Zihuang's spiritual power, which was approaching the peak of the tangible and tangible realm, Ning Tian could smoothly form a contract and complete the fusion, provided that the Ice Emperor agreed.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I meant, brother.” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded excitedly.

"Although I can't use my ice-attribute second martial soul now, I can give it to your children later."

"Let's talk about these things later," Xu Zihuang said solemnly.

“Tianmeng, this isn’t just because of you; it’s also a real opportunity for Ning Tian. Go and negotiate with Ice Emperor.”

After saying this, Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand again.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Ning Tian nodded slightly; she would naturally support Yu Tianhuang's decision. A hint of excitement shone in her eyes.

The Demon Whale started up again, and Xu Zihuang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm released their spiritual power to search for the Ice Emperor's aura.

But before they had traveled far, Xu Zihuang suddenly looked up at the raging gale-force winds high in the sky. A girl who looked like a human was suspended there, with a dazzling, ethereal green aurora-like sky behind her.

The girl appeared to be twelve or thirteen years old, with long, pure white hair cascading down her back to her feet. Her flawless features seemed to embody the essence of this pristine white world. Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything. Her slender, delicate body was exquisite and translucent, like the finest jade in the world. Her white dress, though unadorned, accentuated her stunning beauty and noble purity.

The snowflakes that were originally fluttering rapidly in mid-air would suddenly slow down as soon as they got close to the girl's body, as if they were embedded in this space.

The young girl gently raised her delicate hand, and snowflakes of icy blue condensed and began to fall towards the Demon Whale. Strange and complex patterns were etched on the snowflakes, and with the flow of soul power, they became crystal clear.

Each snowflake spinning at high speed is incredibly powerful.

The girl's eyes were filled with coldness and disgust, and her clear, cold voice echoed throughout the room.

"Anyone who trespasses into the far north shall be put to death."

Chapter 445 Beating Up the Female Demon: Snow Empress and Ice Empress Appear

The stunningly beautiful girl appeared to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, yet she possessed five spirit rings that pulsed around her. And these were five jet-black, ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

The girl was none other than the Snow Empress, who had been reborn as a human.

The Snow Empress is an ice and snow maiden born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she is an extremely special being.

Since Xue Di has been reborn as a human, she doesn't need to cultivate step by step like an ordinary Soul Master. She only needs to gradually unlock the seal on her original power to restore her peak strength.

Her spirit ring age will also increase as the seal on her primordial power is broken.

Generally, when a 100,000-year-old soul beast re-cultivates into human form, its first seven soul rings do not need to be obtained by hunting other soul beasts. This is because the combined age of the first seven soul rings is approximately 100,000 years, corresponding to the cultivation level of the 100,000-year-old soul beast before its re-cultivation.

The Snow Empress's cultivation level was already close to 700,000 years. When the seal on her original power was completely broken, the age of her first seven soul rings would naturally increase to the 100,000-year level.

As the first spirit ring shone, the icy blue snowflakes released by the Snow Empress transformed into ice tornadoes, frantically slicing through the spirit guide shield of the Demon Whale. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the patterns on each snowflake were somewhat similar to the core magic array, and their complexity was even comparable to the aggregation of several level-six core magic arrays.

Ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts that regenerate into humans must sense the aura of humans to cultivate. But as a favored child of heaven and earth, the Snow Empress does not need to do so.

The reason she went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was because she had personally experienced the threat posed by the development of soul guidance technology in the human world.

Back then, several individuals known as Level 9 Soul Masters had ventured into the core area of ​​the Far North. Had it not been for the Ice Emperor's protection, those despicable humans would likely have succeeded when she transformed into human form.

Since that incident, Xue Di has been determined to go to the human world to learn about the so-called soul tools.

However, the filth and depravity of the human world eventually became unbearable for her, and she returned to the far north a year ago.

However, through her interactions with the soul tool, she gained profound insights.

Ultimately, the core magic array is derived from the rules of this world. Since gaining sentience, the Snow Empress has lived for nearly 700,000 years, and her understanding of the power of ice and snow is unparalleled in her time. The patterns on these icy blue snowflakes embody her understanding of the laws of ice and snow.

The level-six soul-guided shield of the Demon Whale shattered almost instantly under the onslaught of the ice and snow tornado, leaving only the pale golden light membrane formed by the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

With the soul-guided shield losing its ability to distort light, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian's figures became visible on the Demon Whale.

Who do you think you are?

Xu Zihuang snorted coldly, and a terrifying mental pressure suddenly spread out, turning every snowflake in the ice and snow tornado into dust.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, making the space seem to freeze.

Xu Zihuang recognized Xue Di's identity, of course. But since Xue Di had taken the initiative to attack them, he would not back down or hold back.

It's just a mere soul beast, and we have no connection whatsoever. It's not worth him having to swallow his anger.

Xue Di's icy expression remained unchanged throughout, only her gaze slightly narrowed. It wasn't because she recognized Xu Zihuang, but rather because she was somewhat astonished by the level of spiritual power of the human before her.

Even at her peak, her spiritual power was only just beginning to reach the realm of tangible and substantial existence.

Immediately afterwards, the second black spirit ring on her body emitted a deep, eerie light.

The already extremely low temperature in the core area of ​​the far north plummeted once again to an unbelievable minus two hundred degrees Celsius. Even the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could not withstand it, and the pale golden light on them began to flicker.

Large, fluffy snowflakes danced in the howling wind, filling the icy world within a kilometer radius and obscuring the view.

This place had become a forbidden zone. A dazzling, icy-blue light shone, surpassing even the brilliance of the sun.

"Sword and palm command the heavens to freeze the snow, the emperor's sword and palm command the emperor to freeze the heavens. Snow dances under the sun?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's extremely shocked voice rang in Xu Zihuang's ears.

"Snow Emperor?!"

Although the power of Snow Dance Shining in the Sun is still somewhat different from that of the Snow Empress at her peak, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is certain that his judgment is correct.

The terrifying chill that even his million-year-old remains couldn't withstand was something only the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor in this world could possibly achieve.
