—------------------—
After the excitement, Xue Tianxing suddenly thought of a key issue. The smile on his face instantly faded, and he said to Bing Xuan:
"Senior, my spirit evolution this time was actually an accident. I consumed the Wutong fruit of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, which accidentally triggered the evolution. I have no idea how to proceed with the evolution. What should I do?"
Xue Tianxing's tone was filled with anxiety, fearing that this hard-won opportunity would be interrupted because of lack of methods.
Upon hearing this, the Ice God smiled gently and said soothingly:
"You don't have to worry about that.
The most difficult part of a martial soul's evolution to the 'extreme' is taking the first step. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. The fact that you were able to complete the process at level 40 has already surpassed me back then.
During these hundreds of thousands of years, although only a remnant of my soul remains, I have been studying how to steadily advance this evolution, and have already figured out a complete path.
Now that you have crossed the most critical threshold, the subsequent steps will be much easier."
Hearing this, Xue Tianxing finally put his mind at ease and quickly asked:
"Since you already have a solution, why not tell me now?
I will definitely do my best to cultivate and complete my evolution as soon as possible!"
In Xue Tianxing's opinion, the sooner the evolution is completed, the faster the strength will increase and the closer to his goal.
But Bingxuan shook his head and said solemnly:
"It's too early now. Focus on your cultivation first. Once your soul power breaks through level 70, come back here. I will teach you the specific assessment content for the divine throne inheritance and the method of martial soul evolution."
Xue Tianxing's face was suddenly filled with confusion:
"Why wait until level 70?
I can understand that there are level requirements for divine inheritance, but shouldn't the faster the spirit evolves, the better?
If I master the method in advance, maybe I can achieve a breakthrough sooner."
"You don't know."
Bingxuan patiently explained:
"All martial spirits with ultimate attributes have one thing in common—between levels 30 and 70, their cultivation speed is much slower than that of ordinary martial spirits. This is because ultimate power requires constant refinement of the foundation and cannot be achieved overnight.
If you force your evolution before reaching level 70, it will only further increase the burden on your soul power, slowing your cultivation and potentially destabilizing your foundation. Only after you've broken through level 70, when your foundation of ultimate power is completely solid and your cultivation speed has accelerated again, can you initiate subsequent evolutions to achieve twice the result with half the effort, preserving your progress while ensuring the quality of your evolution.
Xue Tianxing suddenly realized that there was such a trick here.
He no longer hesitated and nodded solemnly:
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior. I will do as you say and focus on improving my soul power first. I will come back to you after I reach level 70."
"Um."
The Ice God nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and prepared to use the power of teleportation to send Xue Tianxing back to the altar, but at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke again:
"By the way, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor outside are the people I left behind in the Far North. They have been guarding the Ice God Crystal day in and day out for hundreds of thousands of years and are extremely devout to me.
If you wish, when you are strong enough in the future, I will let them both be sacrificed to you."
Xue Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then a hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes - the Snow Emperor was a soul beast of nearly 700,000 years old, and the Ice Emperor had been cultivating for nearly 400,000 years. If they were sacrificed, not only would they get two top-level soul rings, but they could also obtain corresponding soul bones. This was an irresistible temptation for any soul master!
The Ice God seemed to see through his thoughts and continued:
"And when you ascend to the divine realm in the future, with the power of the Ice God and the divine realm, you can completely revive them and take them as your subordinate divine beasts.
This way, they can both help you grow and follow you into the God Realm as divine beasts, and those in the God Realm won't find fault—after all, being a subordinate divine beast and becoming a soul beast are two different things."
This is simply the best of both worlds!
Xue Tianxing nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"Thank you for your advice, Senior! I understand. When the time is right, I will discuss this matter with them."
Bing Xuan nodded slightly, said no more, raised his hand and waved it, and a soft ice energy wrapped around Xue Tianxing.
Xue Tianxing only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next second, he was standing on the ancient ice jade altar again, and the ice god crystal was still floating there.
Watching the blue-white light that enveloped Xue Tianxing gradually dissipate and him standing on the altar again, Bingdi immediately rushed over to him, his tone filled with a bit of urgency:
"Boy, how are you doing? Have you gained the approval of the Ice God?"
Xue Tianxing looked down at her and saw that not only Bingdi, but also Xuedi beside him was looking at him intently, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
When these two overlords of the Far North mentioned the Ice God, all their dominance faded away, leaving only awe for their faith.
Xue Tianxing nodded and said solemnly:
"Senior Ice God recognized me and told me to come here again when I reach level 70 to officially inherit the throne of the Ice God."
"Inheriting the throne..."
Xue Di and Bing Di took a deep breath at the same time, and their eyes instantly showed deep envy.
For soul beasts, becoming a god means eternal life, and no longer having to experience a life-threatening catastrophe every hundred thousand years. This is the ultimate goal they dream of.
But they also knew that they had been guarding here for so many years, and the Ice God Crystal had not responded, which meant that they were destined to have no chance of becoming gods. Now, seeing Xue Tianxing getting such an opportunity, in addition to envy, they felt more obedience to the will of the Ice God.
Xue Tianxing took in the expressions of the two people and slowly said:
"By the way, Senior Bingshen also asked me to bring you a message."
"Master Ice God, do you have something to say to us?"
The eyes of the Ice and Snow Emperors lit up instantly, their bodies leaned forward slightly, their faces full of piety.
It is a great honor for them to receive personal instructions from the gods they believe in.
Bingdi urged impatiently:
"Hurry up and tell us! What does Lord Ice God want to tell us?"
Xue Tianxing cleared his throat and repeated Bing Xuan's words verbatim:
"The Ice God said that he has been watching you protect the Ice God Crystal for hundreds of thousands of years, and he feels very lucky to have such devout people like you.
It's just that due to the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods, he cannot pass the throne to you.
But he also said that if you want to obtain eternal life and touch the realm of God, there is another way - that is to sacrifice yourself to me in the future while retaining the soul imprint.
When I inherit the throne of the Ice God and ascend to the divine realm, I will be able to use my divine power to resurrect you in the divine realm and transform you into subordinate divine beasts. From then on, you will have eternal life and will no longer have to suffer the pain of heavenly tribulations."
