"Not even Titan Snow Demon King?" Qing Mu asked, frowning.
Snow Empress shook her head. Although Titan Snow Demon King was not as close to her as Ice Empress Xiaobai, and had recently been beaten so badly that he suffered multiple fractures after confessing his feelings to her, he was still her subordinate, and she would not trade him away.
Seeing Xue Di's reaction, Qing Mu knew that she would never agree to this condition, so she could only sigh and say, "Alright then, this is a 100,000-year-old snow lotus. I hope you keep your word."
While it's frustrating not being able to obtain the Titan Snow Demon King's soul ring, it's not insurmountable. Ferocious beasts are extremely rare on the continent, but they are quite common on the sea, especially in those unknown waters. If all else fails, you can go to the sea to find and kill soul beasts.
After agreeing on the terms, Qing Mu used her soul power to send the jade box in her hand to the Snow Emperor, who was not far away.
The Snow Empress took the jade box containing the 100,000-year-old snow lotus. After discovering that Qing Mu had not deceived her with a fake, a smile finally appeared on her face.
With this snow lotus, she has a much better chance of surviving the 700,000-year calamity ten thousand years from now.
"roar--"
Just then, Ice Bear King Xiaobai finally caught up and let out a very fierce roar at Qingmu.
"Little White, this human will be our guest from now on, you must not lay a hand on him!"
Snow Empress slowly descended from the gale onto the back of Ice Bear King, patted Ice Bear King Little White, and whispered.
Upon hearing this, the Ice Bear King immediately stopped roaring and looked at Qing Mu and Xue Di with some confusion.
What's going on? Weren't we just on the verge of a fight? How did we become guests so quickly?
But since it was his godmother's order, the Ice Bear King, though puzzled, still managed to give Qing Mu what he considered a kind smile.
Qingmu nodded at him, although he thought Xiong's behavior was a bit strange.
Next, the Snow Empress began to fulfill her promise to Qing Mu, not only personally sending out the message but also mobilizing Xiao Bai's clan to spread it.
In an instant, almost all the soul beasts in the far north were mobilized at the Snow Emperor's call.
Inside an ice cave, a large scorpion, its body resembling a piece of emerald glass, suddenly awoke from its slumber.
She is the Ice Emperor, ranked seventh among the twenty most ferocious beasts, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who has lived for 390,000 years.
"The Snow Empress has actually issued an order! The million-year-old Ice Silkworm... isn't that Tianmeng? Could it be that the Snow Empress is also unsure about the seventh great tribulation and needs to use Tianmeng's essence to overcome it?"
Ice Empress pondered the meaning behind Snow Empress's order. About 90,000 years ago, she had chased after Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but unfortunately, it escaped in the end, and she still regretted it to this day.
After all, if she could absorb all the energy from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, her strength might even surpass that of the Snow Emperor, making her the strongest in the far north!
Perhaps then Xue Di will look at her with new eyes and eventually grant her request.
Swish--
Hyotei shook off the snow covering her body, and her crystal-clear form slowly emerged from the ice cave.
"Let's go see the Snow Emperor. It's been quite a few years since we last met."
Immediately, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion disappeared into the snowstorm.
In the icy valley where Xue Di was, Qing Mu was sitting opposite Xue Di. Xue Di looked at Ivysaur beside Qing Mu and asked, "Is this your martial soul? I have never heard of a human having such a martial soul before."
In Xue Di's eyes, Ivysaur, apart from being Qing Mu's martial soul, was almost no different from a soul beast, and it was full of intelligence, far superior to those ignorant ordinary soul beasts.
More importantly, given her knowledge, she had never heard of Ivysaur, a spirit beast. Could it be some kind of unique mutated spirit beast?
Xue Di thought to herself.
"His name is Ivysaur. It's normal that you haven't heard of him. In fact, my situation is considered an anomaly among Soul Masters." Qing Mu patted Ivysaur's head and laughed.
"Da na~" (Hello!)
Ivysaur also greeted Snow Empress.
Snow Empress nodded slightly, which was her response to Ivysaur.
Their conversation then abruptly ended.
As an ice and snow elf, Xue Di was not a talkative person to begin with, and Qing Mu didn't know how to talk to this lord of the far north. For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit cold.
After a while, Qingmu spoke first: "Snow Empress, do you know which powerful soul beasts over 100,000 years old live in the sea?"
The Snow Empress, a spirit beast from the far north, is not to be killed, but that doesn't mean the Snow Empress of the seas would care. After all, the Snow Empress is only the ruler of the far north, not the ruler of all spirit beasts.
This is the responsibility of Di Tian and a certain soul beast ruler with extraordinary wisdom.
"You want to acquire a spirit ring for your second martial soul?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di looked up at Qing Mu and asked.
"A second martial soul?"
Qing Mu was slightly taken aback, but she quickly realized that the other party regarded her as the owner of the second martial soul.
However, it makes sense. Rather than believing that he, as a Soul Emperor, possesses the combat power of a Title Douluo, or even surpasses most Title Douluos, it is more reasonable to believe that he has a second Martial Soul.
However, Qing Mu just smiled slightly and denied Xue Di's question, saying, "This is not my second martial soul. My martial soul has always been only Ivysaur. What I want to obtain is Ivysaur's seventh soul ring."
This is why I insist on the spirit rings being at least 100,000 years old. After all, for a Martial Soul True Body, the higher the age of the spirit rings, the greater the power of the Martial Soul True Body.
"Only one martial soul?"
At this moment, even Xue Di's usually calm and serene sky-blue eyes revealed a hint of disbelief and shock.
If what Qing Mu said is true, and he only has one martial soul, then wouldn't that mean that Qing Mu already possessed the combat power of a Title Douluo at the Soul Emperor stage?
But how could this be? You must know that the Soul Emperor doesn't even have a Martial Soul True Body. The gap between him and a Title Douluo is like the moon and a firefly, an insurmountable chasm!
"What, you don't believe me?"
At this moment, Qingmu seemed to see through Xuedi's thoughts and explained with a smile, "My Ivysaur is not an ordinary martial soul. It is born with many moves and also has the power to evolve. Its strength is far beyond what can be explained by conventional means."
"Da na, da na~"
Upon hearing Qingmu's words, Ivysaur raised its head slightly, as if it were a matter of course.
Looking at Qing Mu and Ivysaur, Xue Di began to believe them. After all, in this situation, it was more advantageous to admit that she was a Title Douluo with a second Martial Soul than to lie.
Then, Qing Mu said again, "If you still don't believe me, wait until the Ice Bear King returns. I can fight him, and then you'll know that what I said is true."
At the same time, Qing Mu thought to himself, "This is a great opportunity to level up. As long as I defeat the Ice Bear King, I can immediately break through to level 70."
