After hearing this, the two Ice and Snow Emperors were delighted at first because of their approval of the first half, but when they heard "sacrifice to humans", they were both stunned, their eyes full of shock.
They have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have seen countless soul beasts fall, but they have never heard of any soul beasts being resurrected as gods in the divine realm after being sacrificed to humans.
After a brief silence, Xue Di spoke first, her tone undeniably firm:
"If this is Lord Ice God's arrangement, I, Snow Emperor, have no objection and am ready to sacrifice myself to you at any time. It is my honor to pave the way for Lord Ice God's successor."
For her, the will of the Ice God is absolute faith. As long as it is the Ice God's instruction, she is willing to do it even if it means sacrificing herself.
Bingdi immediately echoed:
"Me too! As long as I can fulfill the Ice God's wishes and gain the possibility of eternity, what does sacrifice mean? But... are you really not lying to us? What if you don't have the Ice God's approval and just want to cheat us out of our spirit rings and spirit bones?"
She was a bit more cautious than Xue Di. After all, sacrifice meant completely losing the current form, and there was no room for carelessness.
Xue Tianxing had already anticipated her concerns and said frankly:
"I completely understand your concern that I might be deceiving you.
How about this, when I reach level 70, come back here and formally accept the Ice God's inheritance. Then you can witness the opening of the inheritance with your own eyes and decide whether to sacrifice yourself to me.
This way, you can rest assured and have no worries."
This proposal was both comprehensive and prudent. The two Ice and Snow Emperors looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.
Xue Di nodded and said solemnly:
"Okay! I'll do as you say.
From now on, we will continue to guard the Ice God Crystal and await your return at level 70. Then, we will fulfill the Ice God's instructions and help you complete your inheritance!
Bingdi also nodded:
"That's right! We'll be waiting for you in the heart of the far north.
I hope you will not disappoint the Ice God's expectations, and even more so, our trust."
Xue Tianxing looked at the determined eyes of the two people, and thought that when he reached level 70 and accepted the inheritance, he would not only gain the power of the Ice God, but also two top-level spirit rings and spirit bones, and his strength would surely usher in a qualitative leap.
"Don't worry, I will never fail Senior Bingshen's trust, nor will I let you down."
Xue Tianxing promised solemnly.
Xue Tianxing looked at the two of them, his face showing some anxiety:
"Then can you send me back now? Grandpa Liu and Senior Dugu must be extremely worried when they find out I'm missing."
"Come on, we'll take you back right away."
Xue Di nodded, raised her hand and prepared to take Xue Tianxing back to Liu Tianfeng.
Bingdi on the side suddenly spoke:
"Wait. I see your spirit power has reached level 40, and you're just missing a fourth spirit ring. Instead of going back and searching for it, why don't I just find a suitable one for you, absorb it, and then send you back. It saves both time and effort."
Xue Tianxing's eyes lit up - the two Ice and Snow Emperors were the overlords of the Far North, and they knew the distribution of soul beasts here very well. The soul rings they found would definitely be much more suitable than their blind search.
He nodded immediately:
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Bingdi! I want a soul beast with top-level ice attributes or one that possesses ultimate ice, around 20,000 years old. If it has the bloodline of a phoenix, that would be even better."
"Still want the Phoenix bloodline?"
Bingdi raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat helpless tone:
"Do you know how rare Phoenix-blooded soul beasts are in the Far North? There are probably only a handful of them in the entire Far North that are even remotely related."
At this moment, Xue Di spoke:
"I've thought of a suitable one. I'll take you to the territory of the Frostwind Ice Eagle. The Frostwind Ice Eagle King came to me a while ago, saying her child had been severely injured by a human spirit master and wanted my help in treating it. I went to see the little creature, and it had sustained damage to its heart meridians, and there was no hope of recovery. It's approximately 23,000 years old, which perfectly meets your requirements. Furthermore, the Frostwind Ice Eagle's icy wind power is extremely pure, barely tinged with the blood of an ancient divine bird. While not a phoenix, it's still considered rare."
Bingdi's eyes lit up:
"Okay, let's go there!"
Before he finished speaking, Bingdi reached out and grabbed Xue Tianxing's arm, followed by Xuedi. The three of them took off into the air at the same time and flew in one direction.
The flying speed of the Far North Overlord was extremely fast. Soon, a towering snow-capped mountain appeared in front of them. The rock walls of the snow-capped mountain were covered with nests of various sizes. Countless ice eagles with a wingspan of several meters were circling between the nests, making sharp cries.
"This is the territory of the Frost Eagle."
Snow Emperor said softly, and then together with Ice Emperor released the pressure of the Far North Overlord.
In an instant, all the ice eagles on the snowy mountain fell silent, crawling in their nests and not daring to look up.
In the largest nest at the top of the snow-capped mountain, a huge figure rose into the air - it was a Frost Eagle with a wingspan of dozens of meters, blue-white feathers, beak and claws as sharp as ice crystals, and the power of fierce wind and snow lingered around its body.
It flew in front of the three people, and in a flash, it transformed into a middle-aged woman in a blue-black robe, with a look of awe and confusion on her face.
"Lord Snow Emperor, Lord Ice Emperor, I wonder what orders you have for me?"
King Lingfeng Ice Eagle asked respectfully, his eyes subconsciously falling on Xue Tianxing, his heart full of confusion - why would these two overlords bring a human child here?
Xue Di got straight to the point:
"We're not here for you, but for this child. Your severely injured cub is beyond saving, right? We want to sacrifice it to this child and make it his spirit ring."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Xue Tianxing.
The body of the Ice Eagle King of the Frost Wind stiffened suddenly, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in her eyes - her child was injured by humans, and now the Snow Queen wanted to sacrifice it to another human?
But she knew her own strength clearly - with only 150,000 years of cultivation, she couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Ice Emperor, let alone the unfathomable Snow Emperor.
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only suppress it in your heart.
She clenched her fists, her voice a little hoarse:
"Snow Emperor, that was my most beloved child... Even if there was no hope, I wanted to let him rest in peace. Why would I sacrifice him to humans?"
Bingdi said in a cold tone:
"That's not something you should ask. Besides, it's an honor for it to be sacrificed as a spirit ring. Moreover, its bloodline and ice attributes are compatible with this child. Rather than dying in vain, it's better to maximize its final value. If you disagree, don't blame us for being rude."
The Frostwind Ice Eagle King shuddered, and seeing the coldness in the Ice Emperor's eyes, he finally lowered his head.
"I...I agree. I just hope you can let it go peacefully."
"rest assured."
Xue Di nodded and said:
"We will allow it to complete the sacrifice painlessly."
The Frost Eagle King gritted his teeth, turned around and flew towards the peak's nest:
"Come with me."
