A moment later, Kong Mingan helped Snow Empress get dressed. Snow Empress's eyes were calm as she gently pressed a kiss on his lips, then separated.
"It's time to go out."
Although she wasn't resistant in her heart, and even felt a bit reluctant, her rationality told her that if they continued to be alone, Bing'er next door would probably be depressed for a long time again.
Before successfully getting Bing'er on board, she couldn't indulge herself. Hmm. An occasional small drink was fine, but not too much. If she drank too much, she wouldn't be able to control herself, so...
She needed to exercise restraint.
Snow Empress quietly admonished herself in her heart... A moment later, the two, fully dressed, left the room. Their auras were not deliberately concealed, and they waited silently in the living room.
After only a moment, the door next door opened, and Ice Empress, dressed in a white and green dress, arrived late.
Her gaze swept over the two of them, seeing their neat clothes and calm expressions. However, certain images flashed uncontrollably in her mind, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She composed herself slightly, crossing her arms over her chest, displaying her usual demeanor: "Are you two finished?"
"Mm," Snow Empress responded softly, her ice-blue eyes fixed on Ice Empress, her tone natural.
"Next, it's your turn."
"???"
My… my turn?! You can't handle it, so you're switching to me?!
Ice Empress's heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition emerged.
Forcing herself to remain calm, she feigned ignorance and said flatly, "What do you want me to do?"
Kong Mingan's expression was as usual: "Naturally, it's to help you Cultivate." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, came before Ice Empress, and naturally extended his hand.
Ice Empress hesitated for a moment, but still handed her hand over, placing it in his palm.
However, this ordinary contact, which had happened more than once in the past, caused her body to stiffen slightly due to those strange thoughts in her mind.
She had personally witnessed how flexible these hands were, and those images kept replaying in her mind. Just thinking about it made it difficult to calm down.
However, at this moment, Snow Empress spoke again from the side, her tone calm and unwavering:
"Then I'll leave this place to you two for now. I'm going back to the Extreme North Land first."
Ice Empress: "?!"
No!
Ice Empress's heart suddenly panicked.
However, Kong Mingan on the side had already nodded in response:
"Mm, go ahead."
Ice Empress: "?!!"
Why did you agree so readily?!
Ice Empress felt like she might have been set up, and an inexplicable chill ran down her spine. However, with her hand held by this guy, she couldn't run even if she wanted to.
Watching Snow Empress open a spatial door and leave directly, Ice Empress tried her best to suppress the unease in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Kong Mingan, and tried to keep her voice steady:
"What's next?"
Kong Mingan's expression remained calm as he pointed to the sofa nearby: "Sit down first."
Ice Empress: "?!"
So... the sofa? Directly on the sofa?
Ice Empress's expression stiffened, her heart unusually conflicted. However, her body was very honest, and she sat down under Kong Mingan's guidance.
Pressing her lips together, Ice Empress did some mental preparation. Finally, as if throwing caution to the wind, she actively closed her eyes, awaiting the unknown 'gameplay'.
However, the next moment, she only heard one sentence: "Don't resist."
Immediately, a gentle but undeniable force entered her body, and her own spirit power was activated.
Seven blood-red and two ice-blue brilliant Star Rings emerged from behind her. Following that, those two ice-blue Star Rings began to rotate wildly at an unprecedented speed!
Ripples appeared in space, and several high-quality Soul Cores dropped out from the spatial ripples. Then, under the crushing force of the Star Rings, they instantly shattered, transforming into the purest and most vast spirit power.
And this vast spirit power was absorbed and transformed wildly by those two high-speed rotating Star Rings in an almost brutal yet highly efficient manner!
"This is...?!"
Ice Empress suddenly opened her eyes, feeling an unprecedented sense of fullness within her body and the rapid increase in her Cultivation. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What are you staring at?" Kong Mingan's voice startled Ice Empress. "Aren't you going to quickly guide and digest it?"
Ice Empress immediately snapped back to reality, not bothering to think too much. She quickly focused her mind, fully operating her Cultivation Technique, guiding this vast Energy to scour her Meridians, nourishing her Soul and mental force.
With the external assistance of the young man beside her, her Cultivation speed at this moment was at least five times that of her usual pace! And this efficiency was still climbing!
He... he really is helping me Cultivate?!
Ice Empress's mood was complicated and hard to describe for a moment, unsure whether she should be disappointed or happy.
But soon, she suppressed all distracting thoughts.
No matter what, improving her strength was always the right thing to do. She was still too weak now, unable to do anything.
Only by becoming strong as soon as possible could she help, and no longer just be a bystander.
Soon, Ice Empress completely calmed her mind and entered a deep state of Cultivation.
Beside her, Kong Mingan looked at the rapidly meditating Ice Empress, nodding with satisfaction, and secretly exhaling a sigh of relief.
That's right! This is how it should be!
Compared to those strange stimulating uses, using this precise Energy interference ability to assist Cultivation and enhance the strength of those around him was clearly more proper!
He had indeed been led astray by certain things during this period, almost losing his ambition due to trivial pursuits.
Indeed, everything needed restraint.
Kong Mingan thought to himself, yet he maintained precise guidance and support for the Energy within Ice Empress's body while simultaneously multi-tasking, summoning his own spirit rings.
At this moment, the spirit rings encircling him had transformed into a 'Spiritual Pivot' shimmering with silver light, three unremarkable blood-red spirit rings of approximately 500,000 years, and an 'Asura God Ring' with dark red gilded patterns flowing along its edges.
Among them, his second spirit ring, which originally served as the 'Spiritual Pivot's' auxiliary information processor, had been completely integrated into his first spirit ring, the 'Spiritual Pivot'.
And the current 'Spiritual Pivot', if measured by spirit ring age, was at the critical point of 999,999 years, just a final essence leap away from transforming into a million-year spirit ring.
For ordinary spirit rings, advancing to a million years was difficult, but for him, it was not insurmountable.
After all, with Tianmeng Ice Worm as a reference, he had also acquired knowledge about god-bestowed spirit rings and genuinely possessed the 'Asura God Ring', even personally experiencing the power of Divine Rank.
Under all these conditions, the advancement of spirit rings was not difficult for him.
Even Snow Empress's six 'Star Rings', whose combat power had already reached Divine Rank, would each be a million-year spirit ring if their age were converted. Furthermore, if not for Energy limitations, they would continue to transform.
However, compared to ordinary spirit rings and 'Star Rings', the 'Spiritual Pivot' was special.
Each of its advancements was not a simple accumulation of Energy, but an upgrade and reconstruction of its underlying architecture.
Every time the 'Spiritual Pivot' updated, he needed to rewrite the core 'Spirit Pivot Protocol' and conduct extensive testing to eliminate potential vulnerabilities, thereby performing a System recasting.
And the million-year threshold held even more special significance.
For Spirit Beasts, crossing this barrier meant stepping into the Divine RankDomain in a certain aspect, much like Tianmeng Ice Worm, whose mental force in terms of quantity was essentially Divine Rank.
Therefore, this transformation of the 'Spiritual Pivot' was equivalent to an alternative form of 'ascending to godhood'.
