Of course, Gu Qiu'er was not discouraged by this. After all, finding the Son of Destiny was not something that could be achieved overnight, and it wasn't the first time she had come up empty-handed.
Her Lady Sister had only given her a vague direction, telling her that Wang Dong'er would likely intersect with that Son of Destiny.
However, how exactly they would intersect, and when, her Lady Sister hadn't said, so she could only figure it out herself.
Yet, just now...
Gu Qiu'er frowned slightly. She wondered if it was her imagination, but she felt that the faint, destiny-related special scent on Wang Dong'er seemed a little stronger than before?
"Chamber of Commerce... Kong Family Chamber of Commerce?"
Gu Qiu'er murmured, committing Wang Dong'er's words to memory.
Since there was no progress on the Kong Family side for now, perhaps she could start investigating this Chamber of Commerce?
She touched the Dragon scale her Lady Sister had given her in her embrace, and her confidence immediately surged.
With her Lady Sister's Dragon scale protecting her, even if something went wrong, her Lady Sister would surely intervene.
It was impossible for anyone to bypass her Lady Sister's methods and attack her, directly capturing and suppressing her, right?
It was inconceivable!
Thinking of this, Gu Qiu'er was full of confidence.
She decided that if she still had no gains at the Kong Family, she would go directly to the Chamber of Commerce.
She had the silver Dragon scale; the advantage was hers!
...Not long after dealing with Tang San's Divine Trial, Kong Mingan, upon receiving a message, did not stay long at the Chamber of Commerce. After a little preparation, he headed directly to the Extreme North Land.
Spatial ripples quietly spread in the core area of the Extreme North Land, and Kong Mingan's figure stepped out.
To his slight surprise, the scene before him was completely different from what he remembered. There was no biting, knife-like cold wind; instead, there was an absolute, bone-chilling low temperature.
Beneath his feet stretched an endless ice plain, with countless ice crystal flowers of various shapes growing on the ice surface, emitting a faint glow. The scene was beautiful, yet utterly dangerous.
The low temperature here was enough to instantly freeze an ordinary Spirit Saint into an ice sculpture. A Spirit Douluo could only survive for a short while, and only a Douluo could barely stand.
Undoubtedly, this was the absolute Forbidden Land of the Extreme North Land.
Before he could carefully survey his surroundings, Kong Mingan took a slight step forward. His human Aura was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the place.
The next moment, several terrifying Auras suddenly locked onto him.
Figures flickered, and five figures radiating monstrous Aura descended with a roar.
spirit rings were revealed; the lowest configuration among them was eight black and one red, an ultra-standard setup. Behind each of them, Spirit phantoms like ice bears and cyclops appeared, their Aura terrifying.
Facing this human who abruptly appeared and intruded into the core Forbidden Land during a special period, these vigilant beings did not hesitate in the slightest. Biting spirit power, like a storm, swept towards Kong Mingan.
Clearly, they were preparing to directly suppress this invader.
And just at this critical moment...
A petite figure in a white and green dress suddenly appeared in front of Kong Mingan as if by Teleportation.
"Stop!"
A clear shout, imbued with supreme majesty and anger, rang out.
Emerald green spirit power surged skyward from her, and the Aura of Extreme Ice spread unreservedly.
Such obvious spirit powerAura made everyone preparing to attack instantly retract their power, their figures halting in mid-air.
One of them, a round-bodied, seemingly simple and honest young man with a giant white bear phantom behind him, blinked his clear eyes, scratched his head, and asked in confusion:
"Auntie? He's a human, isn't he? Didn't you say that during this period of heightened security, no one is allowed into the core area, especially humans? That if we see them, we suppress them immediately, no questions asked?"
These incredibly blunt words made the Ice Empress, who was blocking Kong Mingan, choke. Her delicate little face paused slightly, and she emphasized:
"He's different from other humans!"
"...Is that so?"
Xiao Bai nodded, half-understanding. He looked at the calm Kong Mingan beside him, then at the Ice Empress, who looked protective. Suddenly, as if he understood something, he said with dawning realization:
"Auntie, is he the one you often talk about—oof!"
Before he could finish his sentence, an ice blade, thin as a cicada's wing yet radiating deadly cold Qi, materialized out of thin air and precisely hovered before his nose.
Xiao Bai instantly fell silent, but he directly switched to his more durable Spirit Beast form.
A huge, round, fluffy white bear appeared. Then, Xiao Bai skillfully retracted his head and limbs, curling into a giant snow-white ball, trembling and daring not to make another sound.
Auntie is so violent!
The Ice Empress snorted, dispelling the ice blade. Her golden eyes swept over the other Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, who also looked surprised and uncertain. She pursed her lips, then turned to Kong Mingan and urged:
"You! Switch forms!"
"Ah?"
Am I some kind of Transformer?
The Ice Empress seemed a little anxious, her voice unconsciously rising a bit: "It's... it's your, Elementalization! The one of Extreme Ice!"
Seeing the Ice Empress's "hurry up and prove it to them" look, Kong Mingan was momentarily at a loss for words, but with a thought, he naturally entered Elementalization.
The next moment, a pure and vast Aura of Extreme Ice, as if originating from the Origin of extreme cold, naturally spread.
At the same time, five utterly illogical spirit rings naturally appeared from beneath his feet, their Aura bearing no resemblance to that of a Spirit King.
"..."
Xiao Bai, curled into a ball, secretly opened a slit, blankly sensing the Aura almost identical to his mother's. Then, he connected it to the fact that this person was probably the special human his aunt and mother often mentioned.
A big idea formed in his simple mind.
Could this be... Father?!
Not only Xiao Bai, but all the other Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts present were also somewhat stunned.
They carefully sensed the Aura of Extreme Ice, clearly from the same Origin as their Emperor, their eyes slightly dazed.
The Ice Empress calmed herself, put her hands on her hips, and smiled calmly: "I told you, he's different from other humans!"
The Spirit Beasts looked at each other, seeing a hint of confusion and definite awe in each other's eyes.
Without a word, the Spirit Beasts nodded with slight respect, their attitude already one of tacit acceptance.
After all, ever since their Emperor brought back the miraculous method of shapeshifting and the wondrous methods of "Spell Cultivator" and "Body Cultivator,"
all Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land that were over a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, as well as some Spirit Beasts under a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast whose lifespans were nearing their end, had begun to shapeshift and Cultivate.
Although the young man in front of them looked human, perhaps he was one of their kind? After all, such a level of Extreme Ice hardly seemed human.
Among them, several gazes even swept back and forth between Kong Mingan and the Ice Empress, carrying a hint of suspicion.
Could it be that this person was the legendary Empress?
The Ice Empress felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze. She snorted lightly and grabbed Kong Mingan's wrist: "Let's go!"
Just like that, under the gaze of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, the Ice Empress dragged Kong Mingan, transforming into a jade-green stream of light, and swiftly left the area.
