"Godmother, godmother, guess what I found?"
More than an hour later, the Ice Bear King arrived at an ice valley in the core area of the far north and shouted excitedly.
In the center of the icy valley stood an exquisitely beautiful woman. She wore a long white dress, her figure was slender and flawless, and her long, white hair cascaded down her back to her feet, like a plum blossom in the snow. She exuded an aura of purity and coldness.
Upon hearing the Ice Bear King's voice, the woman turned around, a gentle glint in her sky-blue eyes, and smiled, "Little White, what could make you so happy?"
"A human! I have just discovered a human in the far north!"
The Ice Bear King was still quite intrigued to see Qing Mu, since relatively few humans had ventured into the far north, and this was the first time he had ever seen a human like Qing Mu who could reach so close to the core area.
"Humans?"
However, Xue Di frowned slightly upon hearing the word "human".
Unlike the Ice Bear King's curiosity, the Snow Empress was not particularly interested in humans. She had lived longer than the Ice Bear King and had encountered some humans in the far north, but these humans did not display very good qualities when faced with dire situations.
After a while, the Snow Empress asked the Ice Bear King, "Where is that human now?"
"I met him on the edge of the inner circle not long ago. Speaking of which, that human seemed a bit strange. His martial soul was a toad with flowers on its back, but it was different from the martial soul you described, godmother. That flowery toad was detached from its body, and it seemed to be just as intelligent as us."
At this moment, the Ice Bear King could tell that the Snow Empress was not in a good mood, so when the Snow Empress asked a question, it quickly answered her question.
"There's such a thing as a martial soul?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di finally showed a hint of interest on her face. Even though she had lived for so many tens of thousands of years, she had never heard of this type of martial soul.
The Ice Bear King nodded quickly and obediently replied, "That's right, and I can sense that the opponent's martial soul is quite strong. At least from the aura emanating from his martial soul, it should be no less than that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"His aura is no less than that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Could he be a Title Douluo among humans?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di showed a thoughtful expression.
In her mind, ordinary human titled Douluo couldn't even defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but the human aura mentioned by the Ice Bear King was comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, so he must be at least a Super Douluo of level 95 or above.
Such powerful individuals are extremely rare even in the human world, and it's unknown why they would come to the far north.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Di said, "Xiao Bai, come with me to meet this human in person."
...
In the core of the far north, a green streak of light swept across a vast expanse of ice and snow, and wherever it passed, tiny green blades of grass sprouted.
But in such an extremely cold place, without the support of external energy, these lush green grass leaves were frozen into ice sculptures almost instantly.
Except for a very few plants that can be called rare and precious natural treasures, no plant can survive in such an extremely cold place.
"My soul power is being consumed so quickly!"
Riding on Venusaur, Qingmu felt his soul power rapidly draining away.
The outside temperature has now exceeded minus 100 degrees Celsius. Just resisting the cold air consumes soul power, not to mention operating the grass field and making slides in such an extremely cold place.
It can be said that Qing Mu's soul power consumption was several times higher than in ordinary places.
"Luckily, I have the Taijing Pearl as my soul core, otherwise my soul power would have been exhausted in a place like this in no time."
Qing Mu was somewhat relieved that the Taijing Pearl possessed the function of a soul core, which greatly increased his soul power recovery speed; otherwise, he really wouldn't have had a good solution in this situation.
Suddenly, the voice of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass rang in Qing Mu's mind.
"Master, I have detected the aura of another of our kind."
Upon hearing this, the green light that Venusaur had transformed into immediately stopped, revealing Venusaur and Qingmu's figures.
As for the eternal snow wolf, Qing Mu has already sent it back to the far north to wait for him.
Speaking of which, there are really few soul beasts in the far north. Qing Mu has been in the far north for so long, and together with the Ice Silkworm and the Ice Bear King, he has only encountered three soul beasts.
"Oh? The aura of a fellow being?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu's eyes lit up. Could it be another Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, or some other ice-attribute immortal herb? This must be obtained!
Qingmu pressed further, "In which direction is the aura of your kind?"
"In that direction!"
As it spoke, one of the leaves formed from the eight-pointed ice grass on Venusaur's back moved.
The next moment, Qing Mu's spirit rings lit up again, and Venusaur once again turned into a green shadow and disappeared from the spot.
Before long, guided by the eight-cornered ice grass, Venusaur carried Qingmu to an ice mountain.
"Master, my kind is right here!"
Qing Mu scanned his surroundings and found that the environment was nothing but snow. If it weren't for the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's certainty, he would have thought this was just an ordinary iceberg.
After all, he must have encountered at least eight or ten thousand such icebergs within the core area of the far north, which shows just how numerous such icebergs are in the far north.
The next instant, Qingmu's eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and he unleashed his full mental power, beginning a systematic scan of everything around him.
Suddenly, Qingmu stopped moving, her eyes fixed on a certain direction, the blue light intensifying!
Finally, with the combination of Qingmu's spiritual power and pupil technique, he saw the treasure hidden inside the iceberg.
Then, he said to Venusaur, "Venusaur, use Razor Leaf to cut through the ice for thirty meters!"
"Da na!!"
Numerous enormous leaves shot out from beside Venusaur, coalescing in the air into a green leaf tornado three meters in diameter, which hurtled straight toward the iceberg in front of it.
This green leaf tornado was like an indestructible drill, drilling into the interior of the iceberg at an extremely fast speed.
One meter... two meters... five meters... ten meters... twenty meters...
The thirty-meter distance was cleared in just a few breaths by Venusaur's Razor Leaf Blade, and an ice cave entrance with a diameter of three meters appeared in front of Qingmu and the others.
Seeing this, Qing Mu nodded slightly and went inside.
Although Rapid Leaf is incredibly slow compared to Solar Beam, its controllability is unmatched by powerful attacks like Solar Beam.
Soon, Qingmu entered the interior of the iceberg.
The interior of the iceberg is a hidden world, containing a huge space with a pool of blue water in the center, where the treasure is located.
It was a pure white snow lotus, unlike other immortal herbs. It had no fragrance and looked quite ordinary.
