On the Heavenly Domain Mountain, a flock of Heavenly Profound Snow Minks stood atop the peak!
Like the Ice Jade Scorpion, the Heavenly Profound Snow Minks were nobles belonging to the far north.
When Ma Hongjun and his group climbed to the summit, they saw a vast number of Heavenly Profound Snow Minks worshipping the aurora borealis in the sky!
There were roughly a thousand snow minks on the summit, and three of them were over 100,000 years old.
They hadn't expected such a powerful clan to be hidden deep in the far north.
Ma Hongjun's group possessed an extremely powerful aura, especially the Titan Snow Demon King, whose body exerted a strong sense of pressure on the small snow minks.
However, the snow minks' gazes immediately fell upon the Snow Emperor; they had clearly seen her before.
And perhaps because of the Snow Emperor, they showed no hostility.
Then they turned their attention to Shui Bing'er, because they sensed a particularly familiar and warm aura emanating from her.
For the soul beasts of the far north, the Snow Emperor's decree was an order!
"Snow Empress!"
The three 100,000-year-old snow ferrets bowed respectfully to the Snow Empress, their little feet clasped together in a very proper manner.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but laugh.
These snow ferrets were so cute.
"Where is your king?"
the Snow Empress asked.
The 200,000-year-old Heavenly Profound Snow Ferret King was not present.
Hearing this, the three 100,000-year-old snow ferrets all looked up at the sky.
Looking at the sky from the mountaintop, the view was much wider, and it seemed much closer.
Ma Hongjun noticed that the aurora above the sky was faintly visible, with wisps of green light spilling down from the sky.
The most obvious ones were the three 100,000-year-old Heavenly Profound Snow Ferrets, whose bodies actually had a faint green glow.
It seemed that they had just been absorbing the aurora.
"Dragon Soul, are they absorbing the aurora?"
Ma Hongjun was a little unsure and asked Dragon Soul.
Dragon Soul's ice dragon body was also revealed at this moment. He flew out and sniffed around the three snow ferret kings.
Looking at the snow ferrets all over the mountaintop, they were all worshipping the aurora, or rather, performing some kind of ritual.
In short, their behavior is related to the aurora!
Suddenly, there was movement in the sky; Ma Hongjun detected fluctuations in space.
This was a strange power regarding space; Ma Hongjun had felt such spatial barriers before in the Fire Domain and the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he could easily detect these spatial fluctuations.
Moreover, it was somewhat similar to the fluctuations of a portal in the soul space.
Finally, a vortex of ripples appeared in the sky, and a small, white body emerged from it. It
was very cute and delicate, with a faint, shimmering green light.
It leaped through the air several times, like teleportation, like a flash, and landed on the mountaintop in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Profound Snow Sable King!
Without a doubt, only a 200,000-year-old Heavenly Profound Snow Sable King could possess this ability.
Its appearance was mysterious and impressive; it was also a 200,000-year-old soul beast, but its strength was somewhat unfathomable.
"There's still movement!"
Dragon Soul looked at the sky and warned.
This time, Ma Hongjun didn't sense it, and even the Snow Empress didn't sense it.
Dragon Soul soared into the air, its icy blue body elongating in the air. Originally only two or three meters long, its form instantly grew to over ten meters.
Dominating the sky, it flew higher and higher, its body undulating with incredible agility.
Suddenly, a turbulence arose in the air; a spatial vortex appeared in the previously calm sky.
A remarkably bright white unicorn appeared!
It seemed quite surprised, its large eyes staring intently at Dragon Soul.
Sensing the anomaly, Ma Hongjun summoned his Fire Feather Wind Wings and instantly followed Dragon Soul up.
However, the strange unicorn seemed startled, transforming into a beam of light and vanishing in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it reappeared in another spatial vortex.
Snow Empress also took to the air, still walking on the snow. The suddenly appearing unicorn piqued her curiosity.
"Little Light is my friend!"
a sweet voice suddenly rang out.
The Heavenly Profound Snow Sable King, having landed, leaped into the air with a few spatial jumps.
The Ferret King was somewhat nervous. It hadn't expected this group to be able to spot Xiao Guang. Even the powerful Snow Emperor couldn't detect Xiao Guang; that ice dragon seemed incredibly terrifying.
However, upon seeing the Ferret King, the unicorn stopped hiding and instead curiously observed Ma Hongjun and the others.
Its body finally emerged from the spatial vortex!
Its overall shape resembled a white horse, but it had a spiral horn on its forehead, its white fur shimmering with iridescent light, its mane flowing gracefully, exuding an ethereal aura, its long tail swaying, and its four hooves strong and powerful, treading on the void. Its noble bearing
gave it an air of undeniable arrogance.
In short, it was
divine!
At first glance, Ma Hongjun was captivated by this white horse!
"A Radiant Unicorn!"
Dragon Soul exclaimed in surprise.
"A Radiant Unicorn? What's that?"
Ma Hongjun quickly asked.
The white horse also looked at Dragon Soul in surprise, clearly taken aback that Dragon Soul recognized it.
Dragon Soul didn't answer further, but instead communicated with Ma Hongjun privately through soul transmission.
"Pegasus, Dragon Horse—perhaps those names will help you understand.
It's not a creature of this world; I'm quite surprised it's here.
It must be from the realm of gods!
This is a true auspicious beast, a divine beast, capable of bringing good fortune!
Even gods who obtain it will usually keep it as a sacred animal.
It's extremely rare even in the realm of gods.
Obtaining it would be very beneficial to you."
Ma Hongjun nodded, not replying, but instead carefully observing the Radiant Unicorn.
Of course, he wanted it; he had fallen in love with it at first sight.
This was the mount of his dreams.
However, Ma Hongjun needed to restrain himself, trying not to frighten it. Given its ability to leap and traverse space, capturing it by force would be difficult; he would have to find a way to coax it.
"So it's your friend, then it's our friend. Don't be nervous!"
Ma Hongjun said with a smile to the Ferret King.
However, the Ferret King was clearly wary of Ma Hongjun.
"Who are you?"
"I am a friend of the Snow Empress. This is a long story. We've come to find you. Why don't we talk down here instead of confronting each other in the air?"
The Snow Weasel King was still somewhat wary of humans. It looked at the Snow Empress, clearly trusting her more here.
"He's my friend, don't worry, he means no harm. Let your friend come down too, we can get to know each other!"
The Snow Empress explained, then flew down first.
The Snow Weasel King slowly descended, and the unicorn tried to land as well, but it was mostly looking at the Dragon Soul.
The Dragon Soul could easily discern its origins, which showed its extraordinary nature. The unicorn felt that the Dragon Soul was like a wise and experienced old man, whose eyes seemed to see through everything.
"Snow Empress, what do you want with me?"
The Snow Weasel King looked at Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er with suspicion, naturally harboring more reservations about humans.
Suddenly, it sensed the Snow Empress's Token on Shui Bing'er.
"You passed the Snow Empress's Token to her?"
the Snow Weasel King asked in surprise.
The meaning of the Snow Emperor's decree was only understood by those soul beasts who had lived for over 100,000 years; those that hadn't yet developed intelligence wouldn't comprehend it. Soul beasts of
100,000 years already knew that interacting with these rules wasn't like those younger, who simply needed to obey or be beaten.
"Yes, this is a long story, I'll tell you slowly!"
The Snow Emperor recounted her encounter with Ma Hongjun completely, including the Dragon Soul.
Throughout, the unicorn remained silent, but its focus gradually shifted from the Dragon Soul to Ma Hongjun.
Because even a powerful Dragon Soul was actually one of Ma Hongjun's martial souls.
The Snow Emperor didn't rush to ask the Snow Weasel King if it was willing to follow Shui Bing'er, but instead steered the conversation towards the unicorn.
As Ma Hongjun's soul pet, the Snow Emperor could now sense Ma Hongjun's thoughts.
"Where is your friend from? It shouldn't be from the Far North, right?"
"Xiao Guang isn't a soul beast from the Far North, but don't worry, Snow Emperor, it has no ill intentions towards the Far North,"
the Snow Weasel King quickly explained, worried that the Snow Emperor would drive Xiao Guang away from the Far North.
"Where did it come from?"
Dragon Soul asked, but his eyes were fixed on the unicorn, hoping for an answer.
The Ferret King looked towards the aurora, implying it appeared from within it.
"I don't know how I got here!"
the unicorn spoke, a male voice that sounded somewhat immature and youthful.
The Heavenly Profound Ferret King was a female ferret.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but look at the two beasts, wondering if this was another interracial romance.
The unicorn continued,
"One day, I saw a beam of light, very beautiful, and out of curiosity, I went to chase it..."
"I don't know how, but I ended up here and can't find my way home!"
The unicorn looked at the dragon soul hopefully, as if it thought the dragon soul knew the way home.
So that's how it is, mischievous boy!
Curiously chasing the light, it ended up in who-knows-where, even chasing from the divine realm to the mortal realm. Indeed, powerful races are amazing. Chasing light
? Can you even chase that thing?
Ma Hongjun suddenly asked curiously,
"Did you catch that light in the end?"
The unicorn pouted and sighed,
"No! I lost it!"
"Ha~"
Ma Hongjun couldn't bear to laugh and quickly stopped himself from making fun of it.
"Hmph!"
The unicorn snorted angrily. Just thinking about that light made it angry, and now being mocked by Ma Hongjun made it even more ashamed.
The dragon soul continued to ask,
"What's your name?"
"My name is, Guangyu Wuxie!"
"Wuxie?" "
Dragon Soul pondered for a moment, seemingly recalling something.
"There are only a few unicorn clans, and the Wuxie clan isn't very large. Who is Jueying Wuxie to you?"
"You know my grandfather!"
Guangyu said in surprise.
"You're actually his descendant! I fought alongside him."
Dragon Soul was somewhat taken aback, his voice becoming even more weathered, lost in memories.
"Dragon Soul, you really know his grandfather?"
Ma Hongjun transmitted his voice telepathically. If that were true, it would be easier to establish a connection.
"I don't know him, I've only heard the name!"
"Then why did you say you fought alongside him?"
"Just fooling this little horse. Anyway, Jueying Wuxie and I aren't enemies.
Besides, so many tens of thousands of years have passed, who remembers so clearly? Even if his grandfather were here, he might not remember.
Besides, whether his grandfather is even alive is another question."
As he spoke, Dragon Soul asked.
"By the way, how is he now?"
Guangyu asked suddenly, her surprise turning to disappointment.
"My grandfather has been dead for a long time!"
"Ah~ My condolences!" "
Ma Hongjun suddenly exclaimed, then realized what was happening.
Dragon Soul's words seemed to offer a glimmer of hope!
