Chapter 121: Eternal Freeze Domain
Although comprehending a domain is a difficult task, Ning Bei had no choice but to give it a try.
"I'll try first; it's better than just watching."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged, and Qian Renxue nodded, no longer disturbing him.
With his eyes closed, Ning Bei was thinking deeply. It wasn't that it was incredibly difficult, but rather that he had no clue where to begin.
The Eternal Freeze Domain granted by the Snow Empress had already brought the temperature to absolute zero, but this still didn't seem to meet the requirements of the second trial for the Eternal Freeze Domain. Was there a level beneath absolute zero?
But that didn't make sense either. Theoretically, once something starts freezing, the lowest temperature should already be absolute zero.
Time slowly passed. Because of the temperature in the Ice God Palace, Qian Renxue could only desperately use her soul power to resist the cold. In just this short time, her soul power had already been drained quite a bit, but she didn't dare disturb Ning Bei's attempt at understanding the domain. She could only curl up in a corner, shivering.
She hoped that the bad guy would succeed soon, or else she would only be able to take the little angel statue back for offerings.
Ning Bei, still thinking, didn't know where to start. Simply changing the temperature clearly wasn't the true essence of the Eternal Freeze Domain.
After a long while, he suddenly remembered an anime from his previous life where General Binglan could freeze time using his ice powers. Could he also approach this from that perspective?
Not only time, but space could also fall under the scope of freezing. Di Tian often tore apart space to move, so if he froze the space in a certain area, could the other still do that?
And he also had the concept of infinity. Freezing love, hate, and grudges?
He shook his head, dispelling the unrealistic thoughts. It was better to start with space.
He should have brought Old Banyan on this trip to the Extreme North. The old man was also quite skilled in space manipulation.
Qian Renxue, watching Ning Bei's changing expressions from the side, was very puzzled. "What's going on with you? One moment you're excited, the next you're disappointed. Will I also experience this when I understand the Divine Domain? Never mind, I should focus on how not to freeze to death."
At this point, her teeth began to chatter. "Hurry up, bad guy!"
Not knowing how much time passed, Ning Bei's Eternal Freeze Domain seemed to have undergone slight changes. The space around him began to twist. At times, it would freeze and then shatter, and the flow of time began to slow down as well. It felt as though anything that got too close would result in something bad happening.
The little angel nearby grew even colder, cursing at the bad guy in her heart. "It's already cold enough, now you're adding a freezing buff?"
Days passed slowly, one, two days.
The entire Ice God Palace was enveloped in the mysterious aura of the laws. On the seventh day, Ning Bei's mind finally heard that beautiful voice.
"The second trial of the Ice God's Nine Trials has been completed. The Eternal Freeze Domain has been comprehended. Reward: All soul ring years increased by 5000 years, Ice God compatibility increased by 10%, and the candidate has gained access to the Ice God Palace."
"Huh? It's done?"
Ning Bei excitedly opened his eyes, and the ice surrounding him suddenly shattered, the flow of time returned to normal, and the space was restored from its distortion.
He quickly summoned his Dan Tower to check if his soul ring years had changed.
Two yellow, one purple, three black, two red—eight soul rings appeared in sequence.
"???? Didn't it say that all soul rings would be increased by 5000 years? Was I tricked?"
Then Ning Bei summoned his Ice Goddess martial soul. Alright, the three soul rings on it had indeed increased by 5000 years.
"Are you playing favorites? You should have increased all of the Dan Tower's soul rings, too. How stingy!"
After some grumbling, Ning Bei put away his martial soul and was no longer disappointed. After all, the gains from this trial had already been substantial. Not only had the Snow Empress become his martial soul, but it also brought three soul rings over 100,000 years old, even if each soul ring only had one soul skill.
In the future, he might also gain an Ice Emperor soul ring.
The biggest gain, however, was the position of the Ice God, and the profound Eternal Freeze Domain. He had finally stepped out of the realm of a mere assistant.
In the future, he could have all the beasts take the auxiliary battle pills and then activate the Snow Girl martial soul to unleash the Three Treasures of the Snow Emperor.
Who could resist the siege of dozens of 100,000-year soul beasts, plus a god-level soul master with soul rings starting from 100,000 years?
Ning Bei didn't realize that he had once made the little angel worry. That girl was also quite brave. Despite only being a Soul Emperor, she dared to rush at the Ice Emperor.
Thinking of the little angel, Ning Bei quickly stood up and looked around, wanting to show off his new domain.
However, after looking around for a while, he couldn't see her figure. Instead, he found a magnificent humanoid ice sculpture not far away.
"Where is she? Did she find a way out herself? And didn't even think to call me?"
Ning Bei mumbled as he walked over to the ice sculpture.
"This is strange. I didn't see an ice sculpture here before. And why does this sculpture look so familiar?"
After staring at it for a while, Ning Bei finally realized what was wrong.
"This isn't Qian Renxue, is it? Oh no!"
Why did she suddenly turn into an ice sculpture?
Thinking this, Ning Bei quickly began to channel his soul power into the ice sculpture. However, the ice was melting at a painfully slow pace.
Seeing that progress was too slow, Ning Bei immediately activated his Eternal Freeze Domain, using it in reverse to speed up the process. Finally, after several minutes, the ice around her body was cleared.
Ning Bei's palm immediately touched the smooth back of the little angel, continually channeling soul power into her body.
The touch was icy, and the little angel's limbs were stiff. At this point, even if he wanted to feed her a pill, it was impossible.
Ning Bei could only start with her cheeks, desperately infusing soul power to reactivate the muscles in her face.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt Qian Renxue's face warming up, but there were still no signs of her waking up.
Ning Bei furrowed his brows, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes brightening.
He quickly took a Reviving Pill from his pocket and pressed it to the little angel's lips.
At the same time, he didn't stop infusing soul power into her.
After several seconds, Qian Renxue's stiff limbs finally softened, her heartbeat returned, and her chest began to rise and fall, indicating that her condition was recovering.
"Strange? Why is the view so... unrestricted?"
"????"
It turned out that the extremely cold ice had broken down the custom clothes from Tiandou City, and Ning Bei, focused on saving her, hadn't noticed anything strange.
Just as Ning Bei stood there, the little angel finally regained consciousness, her eyes opening, filled with exhaustion. Her body began to shiver.
"Good... good... cold!"
She muttered a few words, then quickly opened her arms and hugged Ning Bei and the others.
"!!!! This is bad."
