Chapter 297 Target? Snow Empress!
"Uh... I see."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly realized, then sighed and sneered, "Tsk tsk, you kid, you've really shrewdly planned this... But, this is for the best, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
"Oh, right! Speaking of the far north!"
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice was full of pride and boastfulness as he said:
"I've already thought of everything for you! Our target isn't just any ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast! I'm going to find you one of the three great kings of the far north, possessing the ultimate power of ice and controlling the coldest power of the far north—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who is also my beloved Bingbing!"
Its voice was filled with affection for Hyotei and a hint of flattery.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan, while hurrying along, raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in his mind:
"The Ice Empress? Sounds good. However, I've heard that the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North is the Snow Empress. Why not choose her? Shouldn't she be stronger?"
"What?! Snow Empress?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice instantly rose, filled with terror and disbelief, as if she had heard some outrageous words, and said:
"You...you actually dare to plot against the Snow Empress?! Kid, are you insane?!"
"Why not?" Tang Chuan asked, his doubts deepening. "If we're going to choose, we should naturally choose the strongest."
"Strong, yes, but you need to be alive to enjoy it!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was tinged with lingering fear as she said solemnly, "Let me tell you why it's absolutely impossible! First of all, the difference in strength is too great!"
"The Snow Empress is a spirit born of heaven and earth, with a cultivation period approaching seven hundred thousand years! She is the true core and ruler of the far north! Her power level far exceeds your current tolerance limit!"
"Even if I use my million-year-old resources to help you, the success rate is extremely low. If things go wrong, we'll both be frozen into ice shards, our souls annihilated!"
It paused for a moment, then continued to explain.
"Secondly, attributes and compatibility! Ice Empress is the queen of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Although her ultimate ice attribute is domineering, its power form is relatively concentrated. There is still a possibility of harmonizing and shaping it with my spiritual attribute and your Blue Silver Emperor life attribute."
"And the Snow Empress... she is the embodiment of the rules of ice and snow, her power is even more vast, and her origin is almost intolerant of any other attribute mixing in. Forcibly fusing with her could very well lead to unexpected consequences!"
"Finally, and most importantly."
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice carried a hint of helplessness and deep apprehension as she solemnly stated:
"Hyotei, we might still be able to try and persuade her... After all, I'm an old acquaintance of hers. Although she's always chasing after me, wanting to eat me, I know her inside and out, and I know her weaknesses and desires. But Yuki-tei... she's unpredictable and endlessly imposing. It's impossible for her to communicate with us, let alone persuade us. In front of her, we don't even have the right to negotiate!"
"Therefore, our only target can be Hyotei!"
"This is the only feasible and best option! With me here, I guarantee I'll bring Bingbing over and create an incomparably powerful, ultimate ice martial soul for you!"
After listening to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's explanation, Tang Chuan also understood the implications.
While Snow Emperor is desirable, it is like a mirage, with risks far outweighing the benefits.
Hyotei is indeed the most realistic and ideal target under the current circumstances.
"No, I choose Xue Di." Although he understood the crucial relationship, Tang Chuan still chose Xue Di and said solemnly.
"Why?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was almost crying in distress, saying, "Have you been blinded by power? The Snow Empress is not a target we can covet right now!"
"Risk and reward go hand in hand." Tang Chuan's gaze was profound, as if he could already see that icy kingdom. He smiled and said, "The Ice Emperor is good, but the Snow Emperor's origin is undoubtedly stronger and has greater potential. Since we're going to create a second martial soul, why not choose the best?"
"As for persuading her... I have my own ways."
"You have your own way?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was filled with absurdity as it said:
"What can you do? That's the Snow Empress! The Lord of the Far North! Even Emperor Tian wouldn't dare to easily provoke her when he went to the Far North! What do you have to offer to persuade her? Reason with her? Or are you planning to fight her to the death with your not-yet-fully-mastered Exploding Ring?"
It thought Tang Chuan was simply fanciful.
Tang Chuan didn't offer any further explanation, but simply repeated:
"Alright. My mind is made up. My target: Snow Empress."
His calmness and persistence made Tianmeng Ice Silkworm realize that this was not an impulsive decision, but a well-considered one. Although it couldn't understand Tang Chuan's method at all, Tang Chuan had created too many miracles along the way.
"You...sigh!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally let out a helpless sigh and said:
"You're insane, absolutely insane! Fine, fine, I'll go crazy with you one more time! But let's make this clear beforehand: if things get really bad, survival comes first, we'll run away immediately!"
"Don't worry." Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and he said:
"I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
After a while.
With one person and one silkworm, carrying a clear goal, they sped towards the snow-covered wasteland.
Just as Tang Chuan and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finalized their plan, their figures flashed through the forest like lightning, preparing to rush to the far north at full speed.
On the branches of an ancient tree in front.
A golden figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
The rosy glow shimmered, and the auspicious atmosphere was palpable; it was indeed Xiao Ruier.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Tang Chuan abruptly stopped, landing lightly on the ground. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Rui'er? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Ruier gracefully descended from the treetop, her figure flashing as she appeared before Tang Chuan. A hint of concern crossed her beautiful face as she asked with a hint of doubt, "I sensed you left the core area; your breathing was rapid. Where are you going? Is something urgent?"
Tang Chuan looked into her eyes, making no attempt to hide anything, and said calmly, "I'm going to the far north to obtain my second martial soul. This trip might be somewhat risky, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ruier immediately interjected, "I'll go with you!"
"No." Tang Chuan shook his head, instinctively refusing, his brows furrowing slightly. "The far north has a harsh environment, and the strength of those there is unknown. I can't let you take such a risk."
"Let me go with you!" Xiao Ruier stepped forward, looking earnestly at Tang Chuan, and said, "Have you forgotten my identity? I am the Emperor Beast, carrying the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest and even the entire Soul Beast Clan. My very existence represents auspiciousness and peace."
"I'll go with you; I might be able to help you in a pinch."
"Furthermore, I believe that even in the far north, given my status as an imperial auspicious beast, the overlords of the soul beasts there would never dare to harm me easily. This in itself is an invisible protective shield. More people means more protection, doesn't it?"
Seeing the unwavering determination in her eyes and her concern for him, and considering the special nature of her auspicious beast identity, Tang Chuan pondered for a moment, and his worries gradually dissipated.
Indeed, the status of the Emperor Beast holds a transcendent position in the world of soul beasts.
Perhaps this can truly prevent many unnecessary conflicts.
"Alright." After a moment of silence, Tang Chuan finally nodded, his tone softening, and said, "Then we'll go together. But be careful, and stay close to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier's face lit up with a bright smile, and she nodded vigorously.
next second.
She put her two slender fingers into her mouth and then let out a clear and melodious whistle.
The whistle echoed through the woods.
A moment later, a heavy, thunderous roar came from afar, and a massive, crimson figure burst through the trees like flames, rushing towards them—it was the ferocious beast, the Crimson King!
Its three enormous heads lowered and nuzzled Xiao Ruier affectionately.
"Let's go." Xiao Ruier gracefully flipped over and mounted the Red King's broad back, then reached out her hand to Tang Chuan.
Seeing this, Tang Chuan no longer hesitated, grabbed her hand tightly, and with a leap, he also sat steadily on the back of the Crimson King.
"Let's go! Destination: the far north!" Xiao Ruier patted the Crimson King's neck.
"roar!"
Upon hearing this, the Crimson King let out a deep roar, lightly stomped his feet on the ground, and his four hooves, treading on fire, carried the two of them. Finally, he transformed into a streak of crimson light and sped off towards the eternal ice and snow world in the north of the continent!
