"Mom!"
Snow Empress, who had just been very happy, showed a helpless expression after hearing Xiaobai's cry.
"Xiaobai, how many times have I told you not to call me Mom." Snow Empress raised her hand and gently caressed the huge bear's nose.
"But, Snow Empress, you are my mom!" Xiaobai let it go in one ear and out the other, showing an expression of enjoyment, occasionally letting out a low hum.
Snow Empress was helpless and could only gently pinch the other party's huge and soft bear ear.
"Snow Empress!"
Just as Snow Empress was helpless with the Ice Bear King's address, the huge Spirit Beast circle parted again, and a giant figure over a hundred meters tall walked out from a group of giant Spirit Beasts, each over fifty meters tall.
These Spirit Beasts were human-like in appearance but more ferocious, all dozens of meters tall, true giants, and they were the Titan Snow Demon clan, the leading powerful clan of the Far North.
It was also the source of Xu Nianshuang's third spirit ring.
"Ah Tai!" Looking at the massive beast over a hundred meters tall, Snow Empress nodded in greeting.
"Snow Empress, what's going on with those humans? And you... your state seems a bit off?" Titan Snow Demon King sat cross-legged on the ground, his gaze sweeping over Xu Tianyang's trio, then he looked at Snow Empress and asked curiously.
"That's right, Mom, why have you become like this, and Ice Empress seems to be in the same state." Prompted by Titan Snow Demon King, Xiaobai also noticed that Snow Empress's state was somewhat off, as if she had no physical form.
"Ah Tai, Xiaobai, let me tell you slowly..." Snow Empress looked at Ice Bear King and Titan Snow Demon King and slowly began to speak.
As Snow Empress detailed the entire story, the Spirit Beasts showed expressions of shock, doubt, and silence.
"Roar! You human, you tricked Mom and Ice Empress into becoming your spirit rings and Spirit Bones!" As soon as Snow Empress finished speaking, Xiaobai immediately glared angrily at Xu Tianyang. It never imagined that Snow Empress, who was like a god in the Far North, would become someone else's spirit ring and Spirit Bone.
"Xiaobai!" Snow Empress looked at Ice Bear King and said in a deep voice.
"Mom!"
As expected, as soon as Snow Empress spoke, Ice Bear King Xiaobai instantly became obedient, looking up with an earnest gaze at Snow Empress.
His relationship with Snow Empress was more complex; from birth, he was found and raised by Snow Empress, and he has obeyed Snow Empress's commands even now as the patriarch of the Far North Ice Bear clan.
In his heart, Snow Empress was like a mother. He didn't understand what a soul spirit was, only that Snow Empress had now become a human's spirit ring and Spirit Bone.
"Xiaobai, this is my own choice. A Spirit Beast's body can never break through the chasm, break through the million-year heavenly tribulation to become a god, but humans can. Tianyang has even received the favor of a deity. As her soul spirit, I can gain eternal life in the future. You should be happy for me." Snow Empress looked at Ice Bear King with a gentle gaze.
"Snow Empress, do you want us to also support this human's soul spirit plan?" Titan Snow Demon King was much calmer and asked, looking at Snow Empress and the others.
"Emperor Tian from Star Dou Great Forest has already agreed to Tianyang's plan. soul spirits can indeed effectively alleviate the conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts.
They can even allow Spirit Beasts whose lifespans are nearing their end to live for a much longer period. If there's an opportunity, they might even live another lifetime." Snow Empress said, looking at the surrounding 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
"Mom, then I also want to sacrifice myself to this human. I want to be with you forever." As soon as Snow Empress finished speaking, Xiaobai immediately looked at Snow Empress and Xu Tianyang with eager eyes.
As soonai said this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looked at Snow Empress in surprise. The prestige of this Far North ruler was truly high, to be able to make a fierce beast unconditionally follow her in life and death.
Their hearts were filled with envy, and at the same time, Shui Bing'er recalled what Xu Nianshuang had said earlier, further strengthening her resolve.
The peak of the Spirit Master's world, she also wanted to see it... "Xiaobai, the Far North still needs you." Snow Empress rubbed Xiaobai's forehead and said softly.
"What are your thoughts?"
"Willing to obey Snow Empress's command."
Many 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts around, upon meeting Snow Empress's gaze, nodded in agreement.
"Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. Next, let me show you all the birth of a soul spirit with your own eyes." Xu Tianyang stepped forward at this moment, calmly walking to the center of the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
"Xiaohan, I remember your clan has a little fellow who reached Ultimate Ice at 30,000 years. Are you willing to let it be this demonstration?" Snow Empress now looked at a majestic ice-blue bird among the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
The Extreme Cold Ice Bird was entirely ice-blue, with two vertical stripes of cyan-blue feathers on each wing, and blue-white feathers along the lower edge of the wings. Its tail also had two long tail feathers, one cyan-blue and one ice-blue, representing that this Extreme Cold Ice Bird King possessed both wind and ice attributes.
"This is the honor of the Extreme Cold Ice Bird clan." The Extreme Cold Ice Bird King spoke human words, looking at Snow Empress with reverence, and nodded without hesitation.
Then, under everyone's gaze, a much smaller Extreme Cold Ice Bird walked over. It was ninety percent similar to the Extreme Cold Ice Bird King, except for the color of the feathers on the edge of its wings.
The Extreme Cold Ice Bird King had two colors representing wind and ice attributes, while this Extreme Cold Ice Bird only had pure ice-blue.
The little Extreme Cold Ice Bird encountered such a scene for the first time and was still a bit nervous. Under the comfort of the Extreme Cold Ice Bird King, it finally calmed down with great difficulty.
"Bing'er, go up. This will be your partner in the future." Xu Tianyang said encouragingly to Shui Bing'er. Maintaining composure under the gaze of a group of 100,000-year Spirit Beasts still required strong psychological fortitude.
Fortunately, Shui Bing'er's inner self was still very strong. Under everyone's gaze, she successfully completed the soul spirit ceremony with the Extreme Cold Ice Bird.
Looking at the smaller Extreme Cold Ice Bird beside Shui Bing'er, the many Spirit Beasts of the Far North showed expressions of amazement.
Even with the examples of Ice Empress and Snow Empress, their cultivation was profound. Now, with a 30,000-year-old Extreme Cold Ice Bird witnessing the entire process, they truly believed in the feasibility of soul spirits.
"So this is where you live, Snow Empress? It's really open and clear." After witnessing the birth of the soul spirit, the Spirit Beasts dispersed, and Snow Empress led Xu Tianyang's trio to her dwelling.
The first thing Xu Tianyang did upon entering was exclaim, it truly was Snow Empress's style.
The room contained only simple ice tables and ice chairs. On the table was an ice crystal fruit plate, holding several fruits that were crystal clear and contained spiritual energy, clearly not ordinary items.
Aside from the more concentrated and purer ice elemental energy, which was easier to absorb and refine, the entire room was no different from an ordinary cave.
"Having more things doesn't speed up cultivation. It's better to have nothing at all." Snow Empress shook her head with a calm expression.
