Blood splattered across the snow.
Breathing heavily, the boy with the sword dodges the upcoming jumping beast's attack, he moved underneath him, stabbing the giant white wolf in the head as hard as he could.
The snow wolf fell with a muffled growl, its thick white fur soaked in red. I pulled my sword from its skull, breathing out mist into the freezing air.
"Too loud," I muttered, dragging the corpse under a snow-covered root. "Others will smell it."
This was the Extreme North Forest, a place of savage cold and colder soul beasts.
'it has been week now'
From behind me, soft hops echoed lightly on the snow.
My contracted spirit beast, a Horned Snow Rabbit, landed beside the wolf's corpse.
This rabbit was one of my first soul beasts that I made a contract with.
There are many types of Soul Contracts, from human-human like Soul Marriage, which I made with wife Hei Huayue, or Human-beast like I did with Horned Snow Rabbit.
The contract is like a passage between two individuals; they share the content of the contract, including Clauses like: Share cultivation speed, Borrow each other's abilities, Temporarily fuse martial souls, Protect each other from death once, Summon the contracted entity in battle.
using the Soul Oath Ritual, which has a custom-made clause. In his time, since he was the strongest, he made a symbol to collect faith from every user of the contract, showing underneath the contractors during the ritual, like Genshin Impact Element symbols.
"go inside wolf place it is empty"
The rabbit nodded and vanished in a blur of white.
That night, I roasted the wolf meat over a spirit flame and reviewed my goal.
The Nine Petals Snow Lotus.
A rare herb that grow only once every 1000 years under perfect elemental harmony. According to Ye Cheng's memories, in one of his Adventures, he explored the Extreme North and found it.
This lotus can be used to reshape elemental cores and even evolve low-tier bloodlines into Top-tier ones.
My Ice Flower Sword Bloodline Core wasn't weak, but to rise higher above Soul Doulou, I needed something much stronger.
"There has to be a version of it here, too. I hope so," I murmured to myself. "Parallel worlds always share similarly."
The next day, after a good night's sleep, I continued my journey until I found my second target.
An Ice Sword Crystal Vine coiled around an like tree, spears of jagged crystal reflecting the pale sky.
after taking it down I change the form of my MS to tree using my first Soul Skill Blood Extract.
From its body, I extracted three Bloodline Flowers, silver-blue and pulsing with latent power.
I stored everything in my System Storage and moved on.
Over the next weeks, I gathered countless herbs. Cold Essence Ginseng. Ice Lotus Root. Frozen Spirit Mushroom. Each one a piece in the alchemy Pill I was thinking about making.
until I find the place a huge mountain wall.
Eventually, I climbed high into the northern peaks.
There, buried within jagged rock and veiled snow, I discovered a cave hidden from the world. As I entered, I felt the pressure shift.
It wasn't just a cave, it was more like a sealed Small World, spread far and wide, that has its own biological system.
Inside was silence, deep and sacred.
In the heart of the cave, a frozen lake reflected the dim glow of light crystals above. And in the middle of the lake, balanced atop a solitary rock, was a single Nine Petals Snow Lotus.
Its glow was not light — it was its own purity.
I couldn't move for a moment, just saw this beauty.
Then I stepped forward.
Drawing a small portion of its essence without harming the root, I returned to the edge and began my work.
Using one of the Ice Sword Crystal Vine Bloodline Flowers, with other helping herbs, refined frost spirit powder, and a breath of Snow Lotus Essence, I created a set of nine alchemy pills.
Each one glowed like a carved diamond under moonlight.
blue transparent with mysterious lines in the shape of clouds, inside was a lotus flower.
The cloud shape only shows when an Ultimate Pill has been created near a perfect sense pill based on Ye Cheng are ranked from Low, Mid, High, Top, Ultimate, and lastly Heavenly Tier pills.
This pill never existed, so it with out name
"Snow Ice Nine Crystal Pill," I named them.
When I consumed one, the impact was immediate.
My soul sea trembled.
My dantian pulsed.
My blooded core—shattered and rebuilt.
My Ice Flower Sword Bloodline Core cracked like glass and bloomed anew in radiant blue.
It was no longer a flower of frost.
It was a Snow Lutos, vibrant and sharp, elegant, yet deadly.
"Beautiful," I whispered, feeling the ice threads in my veins sing. "This… this is true Top Level MS."
I set up camp in the cave.
This place would be my cultivation ground for the next phase. Protected, isolated, filled with the elemental essence I needed.
I can make going up and down as my training, along with fighting with soul beasts.

Taking Six-Winged Fallen Angel MS Orb out of storage space and using identity on it it is the same description as an orb that shattered, will gain an MS called Six-Winged Fallen Angel, trying to use DuplicateX10 on it.
'Huh, successful,' seeing other orbs just like this one in my hand on the floor, taking one, he examined and in the descriptions, change in the end it says Made using Duplicate Trait, he put everything back into his storage space.
It seems that this is my real cheat, that running system did give me good stuff before running, I still have a bad feeling about this System like it messed something.
while contemplates he heard a big sound going at the edge of the cave he see a thunder storm hitting the earth not far away from him about few kilometers but what is shocking is the one it fight the thunder coming from the sky is a girl as pure white like sculptor of snow and ice.
