After observing for a while, Qing Mu discovered that there were at least twenty soul bones here, and each one was of top quality.
Qingmu selected about half of the soul bones and then pushed the refrigerator in front of Xuedi.
"I'll take these few pieces. Keep the rest for yourself; you might need them in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xue Di took Qing Mu's words as a joke and didn't pay any attention. What would a soul beast like her need a soul bone for?
After saying this, Qing Mu stopped talking and looked at the soul bone she had obtained.
Among the soul bones in front of him, two contained an aura far exceeding that of the others. They were soul bones dropped by the Snow Emperor after killing a ferocious beast-level soul beast, and were at least 200,000 years old.
Although the ice attribute is not as suitable for Qingmu as the wood attribute, apart from a very few soul bones, the other soul bones do not have any restrictions on the user. At most, the soul skills can be different.
Several days later, Hyotei returned after finishing his business.
"I've taken care of it."
Upon hearing this, Qingmu, who was in meditation, opened her eyes.
"Although it might be a bit of a mood killer to say this at a time like this, I still want to ask you one last time: are you really ready?"
If you want to give up, you still have a chance now, but once things start, there's no turning back.
As she spoke, Qingmu used her mental power to strike directly at Hyotei's heart, as if it were a final question to Hyotei's true nature.
This also gives Hyotei a final choice. Although his appearance still triggered a butterfly effect, Hyotei may still have a good ending.
After all, time is long, and anything can happen in the future.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's eyes remained calm.
"I'm not some little girl. Once I've made up my mind, I won't give up."
Moreover, your talent is enough for me to take a gamble on you.
The next moment, Hyotei embraced Qingmu, his body transforming into emerald light and slowly merging into Qingmu's body.
In an instant, a large amount of energy surged in, and Qing Mu felt his body filled with a sore and swollen sensation, as if it were about to burst his body.
"With such meager power, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Faced with this situation, Qing Mu remained calm. He had experienced this kind of energy infusion many times and had a wealth of experience with it.
Qingmu immediately began meditating, and the energy, guided by Qingmu, formed a loop and began to circulate rapidly.
Just then, the Ivysaur beside Qing Mu emitted a colorful light and transformed into a beam of light, returning to Qing Mu's body.
Within Qingmu's spiritual sea, two beads, one large and one small, began to slowly coalesce, like two greedy black holes, frantically absorbing all the energy around them.
The energy that Qing Mu had accumulated and the energy from the Ice Emperor's sacrifice immediately converged into Qing Mu's spiritual sea.
"It really is this thing!"
The moment the two beads appeared, Qing Mu noticed their presence.
"They are Mega Stones and Key Stones, and they have also transformed into Soul Cores. It seems that my seventh Soul Skill is Mega Evolution."
Ever since Qingmu obtained the Taijing transformation in his sixth soul ring, Qingmu guessed that his subsequent soul skills would most likely be other systems from Pokémon.
Especially this seventh spirit ring, the Martial Soul True Form, which, judging from the description, is very similar to Mega Evolution and Dynamax. The only thing Qing Mu is unsure about is which one it is.
Therefore, Qing Mu was not surprised when Mega Stones and Key Stones appeared in the Sea of Spirit at this time.
"Qingmu, what exactly are you doing in your sea of consciousness?"
Just then, Hyotei's shocked and angry voice came from Qingmu's ear.
Originally, Hyotei was preparing to enter Qingmu's spiritual sea to help Qingmu better refine the energy she had transformed into, but just now she discovered that something was wrong.
At this moment, Qing Mu's spiritual sea was like two whirlpools in the ocean. As soon as she entered, her soul power was about to be absorbed and refined by them. She was so frightened that she quickly ran out of Qing Mu's spiritual sea and transformed into a spirit to stand beside Qing Mu.
Seeing that Qingmu did not respond, Bingdi was about to continue questioning her, but Xuedi's words silenced her.
"Bing'er, don't disturb him. He's at a crucial moment right now."
Xue Di stared intently at Qing Mu, her gaze seemingly piercing through Qing Mu's body, reaching the two beads, one large and one small, within Qing Mu's spiritual sea, as well as the Tai Jing Bead, which was faintly resonating with those two beads.
"This shape... could it be a soul core? But how is that possible? He's only level 70, how could he possibly condense a soul core, and it even seems to be his second soul core?"
Xue Di frowned slightly. This matter was too strange; even she had never seen it before.
"What? Qing Mu is condensing a soul core!?"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei immediately looked at Aomu in disbelief.
Even for ferocious beasts, obtaining a soul core is extremely difficult; even the Snow Empress currently only possesses one.
But Qing Mu actually possessed a soul core at the Soul Saint level, and it was even his second one?
Soon, she also saw the slowly rotating beads inside Qing Mu's body.
"Impossible! What kind of soul core is this? An ultimate wood soul core? A spiritual soul core? A spatial soul core?"
It's no wonder that Hyotei lost her composure. The Tai Crystal Pearl and the Mega Stone and Key Stone that were condensing within Qing Mu's body were different from all the Soul Cores she remembered. In fact, they didn't even resemble Soul Cores at all.
However, these beads happen to have the function of soul cores, and their manifestation is almost identical to that of the mixed ones.
"This should be a brand new soul core unique to Qing Mu. Perhaps your choice is right. Soul Saints possess two special soul cores. Such a person is probably the only one in the entire history of mankind."
Snow Empress answered Ice Empress's question, while inwardly marveling at what she had done. What a monster!
Let's leave aside the first soul core. Although its appearance is different, judging from the energy it emits, it should be a type of ultimate wood soul core.
But she couldn't understand the soul core that Qingmu was currently condensing. It had not only turned into two, one large and one small, but they were also rotating around each other as if they were attracting each other.
If this is successful, does it count as two soul cores or three?
Just as the two Heavenly Kings in this far north were conversing, the condensation of the Mega Stone and Key Stone in Qingmu's spiritual sea was nearing its end.
Rumble—
Like a thunderclap, a storm swept through Qingmu's spiritual sea, and two faintly visible DNA helices, one large and one small, were fully formed.
At the same time, a terrifying suction force emanated from Qing Mu's body, and Ice Emperor's spirit seemed to be attracted by something, merging into Qing Mu's body.
The next moment, a red soul ring with gold patterns slowly emerged from Qing Mu's feet.
