Chapter 143 Sending the Snow Emperor to the Far North
On the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda, in Biji's office, Biji, Ziji, Huo Yutong, and Wan Shu gathered together.
Tianmeng's spiritual phantom was the first to float out, skillfully replenishing the spiritual energy disguise that maintained Biji and the other two to maintain their human forms, and also filling several spare "disguise spheres" with energy.
The matter was of utmost importance, and with a thought, Huo Yutong opened the entrance to the undead demiplane.
As everyone entered, the Ice God Pearl remained quietly suspended in mid-air. At the core of the pearl, a silver-haired baby girl lay curled up asleep, emitting pure and faint fluctuations of ice-attribute energy.
Seeing that Xue Di was temporarily safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the next task could not be delayed in the slightest.
"There's no time to lose; we must send the Snow Emperor back to the far north as soon as possible." Biji looked at Ziji. "The journey is long, and absolute secrecy is required. Be careful in everything you do."
Wan Shu nodded and took out several high-level concealed storage soul tools that he had prepared beforehand. During the Soul Master Competition, Bi Ji had sent a letter to Wan Shu.
Zi Ji took one and carefully placed the Ice God Pearl inside. Then, she began the complicated "soul tool nesting doll" process—inserting one storage soul tool into another soul tool with different attributes and stronger shielding effects, and so on, to isolate any possible aura of the Ice God Pearl to the greatest extent possible, ensuring that nothing went wrong.
"I'm leaving." Zi Ji said succinctly, putting away the several disguised orbs filled with spiritual energy.
On the long journey, she needed to rely on these to perfectly conceal her identity as a ferocious beast.
Without further farewell, Zi Ji's figure quietly disappeared through the window, blending into the night.
She left Shrek City as quickly as possible, first returning to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest to communicate with Di Tian.
Di Tian was in his dragon form, speaking in a low voice, with the sleeping Di Qiu lying on his back. A gentle soul energy barrier enveloped the little one to prevent her from being woken up.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian said, "Find the Evil Forest and gather the other ferocious beasts."
After Xie Lin arrived, Di Tian said, "We have found the whereabouts of the Snow Emperor. Immediately inform the Evil Emperor and Xie Tong of the far north about this."
"Tell Xie Ming to immediately notify Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, and Ice Jade Scorpion King to come here. King of Ten Thousand Demons, summon Bear Lord and Red King to my location." At the same time, he gently lifted Qiu'er from his back with his soul power and placed her beside him.
The light screen in front of Xie Lin split into three: one side showed the figures of the Evil Emperor and the Demon Spirit; the other side showed three extremely anxious kings of the far north - Titan Snow Demon King Atai, Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and Ice Jade Scorpion King Ajing.
Thus, nine of the ten ferocious beasts have gathered here in this special way, transcending space.
While explaining how the Snow Empress was discovered, Zi Ji held up the Ice God Pearl she had taken from her storage soul tool, so that the soul beast leaders on all sides of the light screen could clearly see the little Snow Empress sleeping inside the pearl.
"Humans... have actually developed to the point where they can imprison the Snow Emperor." The Evil Emperor's mental state was heavy.
When Di Tian mentioned having allies in the far north, he assumed that the Snow Empress had also joined, since the Ice Empress had already become a spirit. Little did he know that this ruler of the far north had already met with misfortune.
"Cooperation is indeed necessary; the threats to humanity are far greater than anticipated."
"I'm going to kill them!!!" On the screen, Xiaobai roared in grief and anger, its massive body trembling with rage.
Atai and Ajing immediately blocked him from the left and right.
"Xiao Bai! Calm down!"
After a while, it took Atai and Ajing working together to temporarily subdue the rampaging Xiaobai and calm it down.
Di Tian said in a deep voice, "Next, Zi Ji will escort the Ice God Pearl to the far north as soon as possible."
"We understand. Thank you for your help." Atai said on behalf of the far north.
"Has there been any unusual activity in the Demon Forest and the far north recently?" Di Tian asked.
"The Holy Spirit Cult and the Mingde Hall sent several more groups to spy, but they were scared away by our clan's spiritual force field," said the Evil Emperor.
"There have been no recent anomalies in the far north," Atai replied.
"Many exceptionally talented individuals have emerged from among humanity in this competition."
Zi Ji took over the conversation and recounted the situations of genius soul masters such as Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.
Both inside and outside the light screen, all the ferocious beasts felt a chill run down their spines. A nineteen-year-old Soul Saint... the younger generation of humanity is growing at an alarming rate.
Next, Zi Ji described in detail the current state of human soul tool development that she had witnessed at the auction and competition venues.
For these top-tier ferocious beasts, high-level soul tools might be enough, but for the vast majority of the race's ten-thousand-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts, a well-organized and increasingly powerful army of soul tools would undoubtedly be a catastrophe.
"Di Tian, your decision is correct," the Evil Emperor said solemnly. "We must unite."
"That's right." Atai and Ajing also wholeheartedly agreed.
The far north is remote and rich in resources, but its prospects are not optimistic in the face of the pressure from the overall encroachment of humankind.
An invisible sense of urgency permeated the hearts of all the ferocious beasts.
Alliances are no longer an option, but a necessity for survival.
After the communication ended, Zi Ji's enormous dragon wings pierced the night sky. She concealed her aura and figure to the extreme, transforming into a shadow that was difficult to detect with the naked eye and senses, and sped off towards the far north of the continent.
In the far north, the eternal, biting wind is as sharp as a knife.
Atai, Xiaobai, and Ajing had been waiting at the agreed location for a long time.
As Zi Ji landed precisely, the three kings of the far north simultaneously took a step forward.
Zi Ji removed her disguise and revealed her true form. Without exchanging any pleasantries, she directly took out the storage soul tool that had been wrapped in layers of packaging.
Her movements were swift and steady as she unraveled the nesting of the soul tool layer by layer.
When the Ice God Pearl, which contained the aura that haunted their dreams, was finally presented intact in the cold air, Atai stretched out his huge palm and gently, almost reverently, held it up.
Inside the Ice God Pearl, the small figure still slept, but the primal chill belonging to the Snow Emperor was transmitted so vividly.
"Mom..." Little White growled, his voice choked with sobs. His huge bear eyes stared unblinkingly at the Ice God Pearl, as if afraid that the scene before him would disappear if he blinked.
Atai clutched the Ice God Pearl tightly in his palm, turned to Ziji, and said in a voice filled with sincere gratitude, "Ziji, I can't thank you enough! The far north will forever remember this kindness!"
"Returning the item to its rightful owner is only right." Zi Ji shook her head. With her mission accomplished, she didn't linger. "I shouldn't stay here any longer, lest something unexpected happen."
Now that Xue Di has been returned, I will leave the rest to you all. Farewell!
Having said that, Zi Ji transformed into a stream of light once more and disappeared into the vast snowstorm, coming and going like the wind, decisive and swift.
Atai, Xiaobai, and Ajing watched her leave, and then all their thoughts returned to the Ice God Pearl.
They escorted the Ice God Pearl back to the cave filled with millennia-old ice marrow that had once nurtured Tianmeng as quickly as possible.
This is undoubtedly the most suitable place for Xue Di to recover at present.
"I will send in the strongest tribesmen to guard the cave entrance in layers!" Ah Jing said.
"No," Little White stepped forward, his massive body blocking the cave entrance. His gaze was fixed on the faint light emanating from the Ice God Pearl inside the cave. "No need to send anyone else. I'll stay here and wait for Mom to wake up."
Atai and Ajing exchanged a glance and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
They didn't try to persuade him further, but simply stood silently beside Xiaobai, like three ancient snow-capped mountains, firmly guarding the cave behind them.
