Chapter 15 The Remains of the Ice Phoenix
Although Hyotei used her aura to lure Yukito over, this aura only told Yukito where she was; it didn't tell her the purpose of luring her there.
Generally, making such a big fuss without explanation is simply to let the other party know your location.
This will only make Xue Di think that something happened to her.
Hyotei was helpless. Ninety percent of the power in her torso had been assimilated by the power of the stars, and with only one percent left, she could only tell the other party her location, but she couldn't explain the details at all.
Hyotei still believed that there wasn't a big problem. As long as Yuki-tei didn't unleash her ultimate sword strike on the spot, everything would be fine.
Therefore, she appeared beside Huo Yuhao in the form of a spiritual avatar early on. Whenever she saw Xue Di, she would immediately greet her, just in case she was sent away on the spot with a sword.
Huo Yuhao stared solemnly into the distance. He could already feel that terrifying aura rapidly approaching. The white dot hurtling towards him from the north was growing larger and larger. Finally, from a distance of a thousand meters, Huo Yuhao could see the true form of the approaching creature!
An ethereal aura, an exquisite face, a graceful figure, and—the majesty of a king of the far north!
Hyotei dared not wait any longer and immediately spread her mental energy outwards, anxiously shouting, "Yuki-tei! It's a misunderstanding! Listen to me first!!!"
The approaching white figure was startled by the sudden shout and unconsciously slowed down.
Xue Di frowned, looking at the scene before her with great confusion.
A human boy around ten years old, and Hyotei, who is also around ten years old and looks like a little girl.
Wait! What's this?
Spiritual body! ! !
The previously subsided aura surged exponentially once again, and a chilling killing intent flashed in Xue Di's azure eyes!
A long, azure-blue sword suddenly appeared in her hand, pointing directly at Huo Yuhao's neck. If it were just a fraction of an inch closer, Huo Yuhao would likely have died on the spot!
"What exactly happened? Where is Hyotei's true form?"
Huo Yuhao did not avoid meeting Xue Di's azure eyes, but he did not speak, because it was not him who could explain, but Bing Di.
Tianmeng had already prepared to flee; if he wanted, he would have already done so. However, Huo Yuhao refused, telling Tianmeng, "I trust Bingdi."
The Ice Emperor's spiritual avatar grasped the Snow Emperor's sword with both hands, standing in front of Huo Yuhao, staring directly into the Snow Emperor's questioning gaze, refusing to budge an inch.
"Let me explain, Snow Empress!"
Although she was puzzled, Xue Di still chose to listen to Bing Di's words.
When the loli-like Ice Emperor grabbed the icy edge of the Emperor Sword, she had already completely withdrawn her grip. Now, what she holds is merely a pure piece of ice. If she hadn't withdrawn, even the Ice Emperor's true form wouldn't have been able to withstand the Emperor Sword's sharpness.
"Tell me, you summoned me here, and now you've turned into this state and won't let me kill this human. I really want to know your answer, Bing'er." With that, the Snow Empress gently loosened her grip on the sword, and the Imperial Sword instantly transformed into countless ice powders, dissipating into the world.
Seeing that the Snow Empress had finally sheathed her Imperial Sword, the Ice Empress breathed a sigh of relief. Her crystalline yellow eyes looked earnestly at the Snow Empress, and she solemnly said, "This wasn't part of my plan. Let the person in charge explain it to you; I'll fill in the details. Tianmeng is out!"
As soon as Hyotei finished speaking, a blonde hooded loli appeared beside Hyotei, gave her a resentful look, and then bowed to Yuki-tei.
"No need for formalities. I can tell that your true form is an Ice Silkworm, right? I never expected that the Ice Silkworm clan would have someone like you!" The Snow Empress was very surprised, how could she not be? A million years of cultivation, yet her true form was a weak and pathetic Ice Silkworm. This must be the favor of heaven, right?
"Reporting to the Snow Emperor, my name is Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. My cultivation has exceeded one million years, but Heaven has not continued to favor me, and my life has come to an end. Therefore, I thought of creating a human god, and I will serve as his wisdom soul ring to share immortal life with him."
"I originally possessed a part of the ice element's essence, which I extracted and bestowed upon my host as a soulless ice martial soul. If I want to help him awaken his ice martial soul, I must choose an ice soul beast to serve as the soul of this ice martial soul."
"Then I set my sights on Hyotei."
Xue Di suddenly realized, and she looked Huo Yuhao up and down, saying with some surprise, "A brilliant plan. This human's talent is truly rare in the world. You are very lucky."
After speaking, she looked at Hyotei again, paused for a moment, as if she had guessed something, and said, "So you came to me hoping that I could join your plan?"
Hyotei looked somewhat embarrassed, scratching his head and blushing deeply, whether from shyness or something else was unclear.
"To my shame, my soul is insufficient to bear the burden of this Ice Martial Soul. Therefore..."
"Bing'er, you've left, but I can't leave too. The far north can't be without a leader. I originally planned to use the power of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus to rebuild myself as a human, but now it seems..."
Before Xue Di could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao, who had been holding back for a while, spoke up, "Senior Xue Di, please take a look at this before making any plans."
Huo Yuhao activated the Star-Guiding Technique, illuminating the star palace emblems on Tianmeng and Bingdi one by one. The deep purple and emerald green gradually overlapped, and a Scorpio star palace map slowly emerged behind Bingdi. On the other side, pale golden light gradually depicted a silkworm star palace map behind Tianmeng.
Although the two distinct divine auras were very faint, the Snow Empress still sensed them clearly at the first moment.
Unlike her surprise at Huo Yuhao just now, Xue Di was now utterly shocked. She stood there, staring intently at the two star charts, Tiancan and Tianxie.
What she had once desperately sought had now appeared before her in broad daylight. She didn't know what to say to calm her complex emotions.
The Snow Empress took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Have your souls begun to shift in that direction, you two?"
Hyotei and Tenmu exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
The Snow Empress sighed softly, then looked at Huo Yuhao, "I'm sorry, your current body can't withstand my power. Come back when you reach level 70. As for the awakening of your Ice Martial Soul..."
Huo Yuhao's heart was on a rollercoaster from Xue Di's words. He had just heard the word "sorry" and before he could feel disappointed, he was overjoyed by Xue Di's promise. But before he could even feel happy, Xue Di brought up the matter of his Ice Martial Soul awakening.
Is it
"Among living Ice Soul Beasts, there is indeed no one stronger than Bing'er besides me, but I can still give you the remains of the fallen Ice Phoenix. Come with me, I will take you to see the Ice Phoenix's remains, and whether you can gain her approval depends on yourself."
