"Snow... Snow Empress?"
Tian Meng's eyes widened as he looked at the noble woman who had emerged from the Eye of Life and stepped into the Sea of Consciousness, utterly confused. "Why are you here?"
"Snow... Empress' spiritual power has already broken through to the Divine Origin Realm. When she bid me farewell earlier, she left behind a trace of her divine sense."
Outside, as Huo Yuhao bid farewell to Zhen Hua and walked towards the station with Gu Yuena and Mu Ye, he condensed a figure in his Sea of Consciousness and explained:
"The divine sense was originally in the Snow Empress's Token, but I opened up the permissions of the Eye of Life. If she wishes, Snow Empress's divine sense can enter the Sea of Consciousness through the Eye of Life."
The Divine Origin Realm, where spiritual awareness transforms into divine consciousness, and the primordial essence takes form. Spiritual awareness becomes divine consciousness, and spiritual power becomes divine power. This is the realm of gods, where thoughts can reach the heavens and the earth.
At the Divine Origin Realm, spiritual power has been completely elevated. Divine consciousness can take on form and sensation. While it may not possess the combat prowess of Tang San's divine consciousness, Snow Empress leaving behind a trace of her divine sense to manifest as an avatar in the outside world and the Sea of Consciousness for communication is entirely possible.
In the first-class cabin of the soul tool aircraft flying towards the Extreme North, Snow Empress sat alone, but the sense of loneliness from the past was gone. Her eyes were gentle, and a smile played on her lips.
"With the spatial power of the Snow Empress's Token as a connection point, the memories of this wisp of divine sense are synchronized with the main body. Moreover, Yuhao also has the Life Gold, so there's no need for the main body to provide divine sense power. This wisp of divine sense can be nourished and maintained continuously."
In the Sea of Consciousness, Snow Empress chuckled softly, "From now on, I am also a member of Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. Please take care of me."
Ice Empress wasn't surprised. She had long guessed Snow Empress's previous actions based on her understanding of her. She clicked her tongue and said, "The effects of re-cultivation are this good? Even spiritual power has broken through to the Divine Origin Realm?"
Snow Empress shook her head gently, "With Elder Yi and Yuhao's experiences, plus my 800,000 years of cultivation before re-cultivation, if I couldn't surpass humans who have only lived one lifetime, wouldn't I have wasted all those resources?"
If cultivation couldn't break through to the divine level, then she would seek breakthroughs in other areas.
She wasn't adept in physical strength, but she had once received guidance in spiritual power, so it was natural for her to strive in that direction.
Now, she had simply achieved her wish.
The members of the Sea of Consciousness were all familiar to Snow Empress. As she chatted with everyone, she observed the situation in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness and soon noticed the little ice silkworm in the corner.
This must be the ice silkworm spirit that Yuhao mentioned, the one he used as a shield, right?
At this moment, the little ice silkworm was utterly shocked to see Snow Empress enter the Sea of Consciousness.
Boss Yuhao actually managed to bring the boss of the Extreme North to become a spirit... truly impressive!
He must praise Tian Meng the Great Emperor later and make sure not to be kicked out. He must follow Boss Yuhao to godhood!
After conversing with everyone for a while, Snow Empress turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and transmitted her voice, "Don't worry, I'm not petty enough to be angry over such things."
Huo Yuhao's tone was faintly teasing, "Then who was it that wanted me to change how I addressed her last night... Xue'er?"
"..."
A blush appeared on both the divine sense of Snow Empress and the main body of Snow Empress on the soul tool aircraft. For the first time since their reunion, she used a chiding tone, "Didn't I say not to call me that for now?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, "You do care after all. I can't ignore your feelings."
Snow Empress's blue eyes met Huo Yuhao's, and a helpless smile appeared on her face, "Fine... as you wish."
After conversing with Snow Empress in the Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao shifted his attention to the outside world, feeling a strange sense of wonder.
Ten thousand years had passed, and "Snow Girl" had once again entered the Sea of Consciousness. Was Snow Empress making up for his "regret"?
...
On the soul tool train speeding towards the East Sea, Mu Ye borrowed the kitchen provided by the dining car using his status. He looked at Huo Yuhao, who had followed him, and smiled, "Yuhao, to win a girl's heart, you must first win her stomach. Let me teach you a trick."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
It feels like all of you are more concerned about my love life than I am. Do I really seem that passive?
As Mu Ye took out ingredients from his storage, he glanced at Gu Yuena, who was peeking in from outside the kitchen, and nodded inwardly.
Zhen Hua was right. Gu Yuena's talent was second only to Yuhao's. Although her looks weren't top-tier, they were still above average. Moreover, she was the next Divine Craftsman. She was indeed a good match for Huo Yuhao. He couldn't let Yuhao let her slip away.
However, both of them were still young. At most, he could only offer a hint.
What Mu Ye took out from his storage ring were four large shrimp, their bodies a blood-red color with a jade-like luster.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow when he saw the ingredients Mu Ye had taken out, "Red Jade Shrimp?"
Red Jade Shrimp, also known as Blood Shrimp, were strange creatures that lived in the Blood Sea Trench at a depth of three thousand meters. The essence of blood and energy they contained was very similar to that of humans, making them an excellent ingredient for enhancing blood and energy.
As for the difficulty of catching them, only a Limit Douluo or a Four-Word Battle Armor Master could venture there!
The Blood Sea Trench, several thousand meters deep, was teeming with sea soul beasts and was one of the six known death zones!
The Blood Sea Trench had a strange magnetic field that caused soul tools to malfunction within its range. Only a soul master's personal strength could allow them to stand their ground there. After the sea soul beasts suffered a calamity, more and more sea soul beasts migrated there, further increasing the difficulty of profiting from it.
Only Limit Douluo and Four-Word Battle Armor Masters could confidently gain something from there and return safely. The value of Red Jade Shrimp was thus self-evident.
Mu Ye, already aware of Huo Yuhao's knowledge, smiled and said, "Yes, Red Jade Shrimp. Your physical strength is comparable to a Soul Emperor, so absorbing the energy of three Red Jade Shrimp shouldn't be a problem. I'm not entirely sure about Gu Yuena's condition, so I'll give her one to try first."
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, "Teacher Mu Ye, Na'er has a good appetite, better than mine."
Mu Ye, who was about to start preparing the ingredients, paused for a moment, thought about it, and then took out some Starry Rice.
Starry Rice, which emitted a faint silver glow at night, had a refreshing aroma.
This rice was grown in the Extreme North, cultivated jointly by humans and soul beasts. It took several years to mature and had a limited yield. It was beneficial for soul masters' cultivation.
Hmm, humans and soul beasts cultivating together, should they be called spirit beasts or Pokémon?
At the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena had eaten quite a bit of this rice on Luoyang Road. It had a sweet taste. From Huo Yuhao's observations, Gu Yuena quite liked it.
Next, Mu Ye took out some Ice Crystal Eel from the Extreme North and some Dark Moon Lotus Root from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Joking aside, as the current strongest chef and the Sect Master of the Body Sect, how could he let his and his friend's disciples eat poorly?
Big appetite, huh? Today, eat to your heart's content!
With that thought, Mu Ye called out to Huo Yuhao, and the two began to work.
Gu Yuena peeked in for a while, then sat at the dining table to wait. Moments later, she saw Huo Yuhao carrying a large plate over, the aroma of fresh seafood wafting towards her. Her eyes instantly sparkled.
Mu Ye also brought over the Starry Rice, Dark Moon Lotus Root, and Ice Crystal Eel Soup made from Ice Crystal Eel. The three of them began to eat.
