"Indeed, it's the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow. I didn't expect there to be a Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Cave here," Xue Di said with a sigh.
With a flash of light, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Bing Di also appeared. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was fine; after all, its million-year cultivation was achieved by consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow, so it had seen the world.
But Bing Di's expression was incredibly complex. If she had so much Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow back then, she could have become a God Beast directly, instead of ending up as someone else's Soul Ring.
"Xue Di, start absorbing it. This Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow should be very helpful for you," Huo Yuhao urged, seeing Xue Di standing there in a daze.
At this moment, Xue Di understood Huo Yuhao's purpose in bringing her to Dragon City. She had thought before that this guy was interested in her. But now she thought about it, he was saying that time was tight, and then he just came here to wander around. It was impossible.
"You actually know the value of these Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow, and you're willing to share them with me. Let me be clear, I don't have anything to exchange with you," Xue Di didn't understand why Huo Yuhao was so generous. If it were her, even if she couldn't use so much, she wouldn't share it with others.
"In that case, how about you offer yourself?" Huo Yuhao said with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Sky Dream immediately gave a thumbs-up, inwardly exclaiming, Awesome!
Xue Di's expression instantly turned cold, her eyes emitting a chilling light, her face like frost.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a chill run down his back, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast. Following this feeling, he looked over and saw Bing Di glaring at him fiercely.
"Alright, alright, just kidding, don't take it so seriously," Huo Yuhao waved his hands repeatedly. He felt that if this continued, he might be in trouble.
"Xue Di, don't forget we're allies. Consider this an investment from me. A treasure must be able to realize its value, and besides, I can't possibly use so much by myself. Am I supposed to just let it gather dust?"
Xue Di's expression softened upon hearing this. After a cold snort, she turned her head and walked to the side, beginning to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow.
Seeing that Xue Di had started, Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze to Bing Di and Sky Dream, asking, "What about you two? Can you absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow?"
In the original story, both Sky Dream and Bing Di had absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow, but in the original story, these two guys should have been in a state similar to Soul Spirits. Now, however, they were pure soul bodies, so Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if they could absorb it.
Sure enough, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's large head revealed a trace of human-like distress. "It's possible, but the problem is we're just souls now, relying on your spiritual sea. If we had found this place earlier, I might have become a true million-year beast god," its tone filled with regret and annoyance.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything about it, but he knew that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was dreaming. Even if it really became a god beast as it claimed, the God Realm would immediately get rid of it. Such a good life only existed in its dreams.
Bing Di was in a state of contemplation.
"Bing Di, what do you plan to do?" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked Bing Di, though it was more of a rhetorical question, since it had already guessed her thoughts, as it had considered the same thing moments ago.
Bing Di said in a low voice, "Although we no longer have bodies, this Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow is the purest natural treasure for our ice attribute.
Using it as a material, and integrating our origin, it's possible for us to re-condense our bodies. Moreover, my original body is still intact, and with the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow's immense life energy, I can also choose to cultivate into a human."
"Bing Di, I agree with you," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed, "but even if you reshape your body, how can you withstand one Heavenly Tribulation after another? Or, if you cultivate into a human, do you have the confidence to become a god? Human lifespan is only a few decades, Bing Di, do you think I haven't thought about it?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone was filled with melancholy. It was initially trying to persuade the other, but it ended up losing its own spirit.
Bing Di didn't refute, because what the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said was indeed the truth. However, she looked more at Huo Yuhao, because all of this first required Huo Yuhao's permission. She was, after all, Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring.
"If you've made up your mind, then go ahead. You are a Soul Beast, and Xue Di and I will help you through the Heavenly Tribulation. If you choose to cultivate anew, we can fight side-by-side."
"But…" Sky Dream was anxious, but Huo Yuhao waved his hand to interrupt.
"We don't have the right to choose; we only have the fate of being chosen. Everyone craves freedom, and so do I. You're no exception. Don't worry about me. Think it over and then do what you need to do."
Huo Yuhao smiled, and this was also his true thought. Actually, after obtaining the Demon God's Secret, Sky Dream and Bing Di were no longer that important. The reason he sought them out later was only to have them cover for him, to prevent the God Realm from becoming suspicious.
After all, suddenly transforming from a useless person into a heaven's chosen would be obviously abnormal. But with two great Soul Beasts assisting him, it seemed perfectly reasonable.
The specific situation of the God Realm was currently unknown, and whether it even existed was questionable. However, regardless, after such a long time, and now with the God Ranking as a cover, those gods shouldn't suspect anything.
Because this era could be called an era of heroes, and later, because of the God Ranking, all sorts of geniuses would rise. This also prevented Huo Yuhao from standing out too much.
Therefore, the departure of Bing Di and Sky Dream was really not that important now. Of course, even if they chose to leave him, Huo Yuhao would do his best to help them, considering their past relationship.
After the words fell, Bing Di fell silent, and Sky Dream was also somewhat moved. If they could gain freedom, who would want to be constrained by others?
But soon, Sky Dream dispelled this thought. It shook its round, chubby head and sighed, "Forget it. My original body is gone. Without a foundation, I'm just a rootless duckweed. Even with the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow, it's unlikely I could condense a body. And I can't cultivate again. Even if I could reshape my body, it wouldn't work. I'd probably have to face the Million-Year Lightning Tribulation afterward."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. This fellow did have some self-awareness. Then, he turned his gaze toward Bing Di. Compared to Sky Dream, Bing Di had more choices.
"Let's talk alone," Bing Di said, glancing at Huo Yuhao. Her body transformed into a stream of light and entered Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. Then, his consciousness sank into the Sea of Spirits, leaving Sky Dream, who was pondering, behind. Xue Di, who was nearby, also glanced over inadvertently. She felt something was amiss. Although she had been absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Marrow, she had also heard Sky Dream and the others' conversation.
"Tell me honestly, do you hope I reshape my body and then leave you?" Bing Di looked directly at Huo Yuhao in the Sea of Spirits.
Facing those amber eyes, Huo Yuhao's heart trembled. He knew the following answer was crucial and would determine their future relationship.
Bing Di had always been proud. Perhaps because she was a Soul Beast, she wouldn't hide her feelings, but her pride wouldn't allow her to be too humble.
If Huo Yuhao were to answer that he wanted Bing Di to stay away from him at this moment, there would be no doubt that the two of them would go their separate ways from then on, each going their own way.
