Su Yu pondered for a moment and agreed.
The Snow Empress is a Soul Beast, but she isn't the type to be hostile to humans. Her aim is pure: to achieve divinity.
If it were Di Tian, Su Yu wouldn't help him no matter what, and would seize the opportunity to call upon a large number of human powerhouses to hunt him down.
It absolutely wasn't because of some white-haired little loli.
"I don't particularly lack Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, just as long as you assure me that after becoming strong you won't target humans. Of course, I have some personal issues that require your help."
Since he encountered the Snow Empress, Su Yu suddenly had many thoughts.
"Take me to the Core Circle of the Land of the Far North, your cultivation place. I think that place should be very suitable for training, right?"
The Observation Technique was already complete, but the harshness of the environment hadn't reached its peak.
The Snow Empress's cultivation location could likely further enhance the effect of the Observation Technique.
Besides that, Su Yu had some things he needed to prepare ahead of time.
"The collision between the Abyss and the Douluo Continent starts from the Land of the Far North."
Su Yu has ambition; he cannot overlook such a large plane.
Finally, Su Yu has an urgent need.
And that is the Soul Ring.
He is about to break through to Level 70, and the choice of the Seventh Soul Ring is a major challenge.
For a Soul Master, the Seventh Soul Ring is absolutely crucial. Saying it is the most important is not an exaggeration, and Su Yu cannot choose casually.
Since absorbing the Blue Silver Empress, he had been pondering if there existed a Seventh Soul Ring more suitable for him than the Blue Silver Emperor.
Recently, he found the answer.
There is!
What could be more suitable for himself than his own Soul Ring?
At the moment he successfully gathered the Qi Blood Soul Ring at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Su Yu had the idea of condensing his own Seventh Soul Ring.
The Seventh Soul Ring signifies the True Form of the Martial Soul, embodies so much, and can be said to be the greatest watershed for a Soul Master.
At this moment, Su Yu had the thought of condensing his own Soul Ring.
If Soul Beasts can condense Soul Rings, why can't humans?
This is a question that has troubled many Soul Masters for a lifetime.
Su Yu had previously avoided heading in this direction because solving such a problem is too complicated and might involve the very core of the Douluo cultivation system.
However, since successfully gathering the Qi Blood Soul Ring, he had new insights.
A Soul Master condensing their own Soul Ring doesn't seem impossible.
However, not all Soul Rings can rely on self-condensation.
It's unrealistic.
A Soul Master absorbs Soul Rings to utilize the power of Soul Rings to break through themselves and strengthen their Martial Soul, not just for a mere level breakthrough.
Condensing one's own Soul Ring is usable, but it's optimal to have only one, and the Seventh Soul Ring position is the most suitable.
"Are you sure you want to attempt to condense your own Soul Ring?" The Snow Empress also expressed her incomprehension towards Su Yu's request.
Su Yu did not explain further, only saying that this was a condition to aid her growth.
Su Yu's demands were not excessive.
Even the request to return to the Core Circle to cultivate, the Snow Empress could not refuse.
Her growth is inseparable from contact with humans, which is also her reason for staying in Frost Town. But now, if Su Yu wishes to go to her original cultivation place in the Core Circle, she has no reason to refuse.
The Snow Empress agreed to Su Yu's request.
...
Su Yu notified Zou Yun, informing him that he needs to delve deeper into cultivation. After bidding farewell, he followed the Snow Empress to the Core Circle of the Land of the Far North.
The Snow Empress's cultivation location is very quiet, and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is extremely dense.
The Primordial Qi here, with its Ice Attribute, is even more terrifying; it's close to feeling like Ultimate Ice.
However, this icy Primordial Qi doesn't inflict harm, but rather gives a sense of warmth and friendliness.
Perhaps due to Su Yu's own Ice Immunity ability, he cannot feel the harmful effects of the terrifying Ice Attribute Primordial Qi.
This is the Snow Empress's birthplace, where the Ice Attribute Primordial Qi is densest in the whole Land of the Far North.
Su Yu is the first human to enter.
"Can you tell me about your feelings when condensing Soul Rings?"
After half a month of cultivating together with the Snow Empress, Su Yu began to inquire about Soul Ring condensation.
He was basically certain that the Snow Empress genuinely just wanted him to help her cultivate.
Ultimate Life Force poured into the Snow Empress's body, accelerating her growth significantly.
In just half a month, she broke through the Level 50 barrier.
From transformation to now, it had only been two years, and she was comparable to an eight-year-old human, yet she possesses a terrifying Level 50 Soul Power!
Of course, with Su Yu's Ultimate Life Force assistance, her physical age is not actually eight but has rapidly grown to around ten.
But even so, a ten-year-old Soul King is incredibly terrifying.
Su Yu asked the Snow Empress at this moment to let her recall, so she can more deeply understand when condensing the Fifth Soul Ring next.
Having condensed Soul Rings four times, the Snow Empress hadn't researched much.
But she at least has basic feelings.
However, after Su Yu requested an explanation, he didn't gain the special insight he desired.
"Snow Empress, when you condense the Soul Ring next, I hope you can perceive the full process of the Soul Ring's condensation to the utmost degree."
"Rest assured, since I promised you, the Empress won't renege."
The Snow Empress sat cross-legged as dense Ice Attribute Primordial Qi gathered towards her.
The Soul Power within her body resonated with the Ice Attribute Primordial Qi.
A ring of dark light emerged from her body and gradually solidified, the color of the Soul Ring deepened from purple to increasingly dark black.
Four rings of Soul Rings continuously swirled around her body.
Three purple, one black.
As the Fifth Soul Ring condensed, the color of the previous three Soul Rings deepened.
Ultimately, the third Soul Ring completely transformed into a dark black Soul Ring.
The Fifth Soul Ring was dark as ink, seemingly engulfing all light.
Once the Soul Ring was fully formed, five rings of Soul Rings hovered around the Snow Empress.
Two purples and three blacks!
This terrifying Soul Ring combination made Su Yu gasp in awe.
Fortunately, Su Yu's Soul Rings were no less impressive, with the Fifth Soul Ring's terrifying blood-red color and the Sixth Soul Ring's orange hue.
But the Snow Empress herself has a cultivation of seven hundred thousand years, and now it seems her Soul Rings can be adjusted and distributed each time they condense a new Soul Ring, allowing for upgrades.
This enhancement is more like redistributing her own unsealed cultivation, not requiring the constant nurturing like Su Yu.
...
The Snow Empress can condense Soul Rings swiftly.
But under Su Yu's request, she slowed the process.
She carefully comprehended the changes within her body, sensing its increasingly powerful and expansive process.
Until she reached her own limit.
After a day and night passed, the Snow Empress reopened her eyes, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
This time, deeply experiencing the whole process, especially the directions emphasized by Su Yu, gave her new insights.
Her greatest takeaway was: the condensation of Soul Rings fundamentally does not hinge on Soul Beasts, but on human Soul Masters!
"Not on Soul Beasts, but on Soul Masters?"
Su Yu asked the Snow Empress for more detailed feelings.
"When a Soul Master cultivates to each ten-level increment, they gain the opportunity to absorb a Soul Ring, and this opportunity provides a place to accommodate the Soul Ring.
Soul Beasts merely align with the Soul Master's cultivation system, and when killed by the Soul Master, they naturally condense the corresponding Soul Ring.
I can condense Soul Rings because I satisfy the two major conditions myself."
"The construction of the Soul Ring, is there anything special about it?" Su Yu pursued.
The Snow Empress explained the process of condensing Soul Rings in detail.
For her, it was mostly following the intuition, gradually unlocking her originally sealed cultivation, then integrating it into the Soul Ring process.
But the details provided Su Yu substantial inspiration.
"Old Lan."
"What's the matter?"
The energy form of the Blue Silver Emperor gathered beside Su Yu.
"Do you recall what I discussed with you last time? Tang San once absorbed the power of numerous Blue Silver Grass with the Blue Silver King's help to condense a Lifebound Soul Ring."
"I remember." The Blue Silver Emperor didn't guarantee anything, "But Tang San himself possesses a Soul Beast bloodline; I'm not sure if it can succeed."
