"Feng Yu, it suddenly occurred to me, don't we have the Phoenix Blood Contract?"
This is the most supreme contract within the Phoenix Clan.
Once bound, it cannot be changed.
And the Phoenix Blood Contract allows Lin Xiao and Feng Yu to share damage and borrow each other's abilities.
"Then wouldn't I be able to use the Creation Authority too?"
"You can."
Awesome, this is what I call a good wife.
"Feng Yu, why don't you try transforming?"
Lin Xiao had barely finished speaking.
When the flames before him coalesced into a human form, it was:
Lips like dabs of rouge, eyes like glazed glass, a jade ornament for a nose, a face flushed with spring, crimson flames blazing on golden feathers, flowing clouds trailing like burning skies, radiant as autumn waters and bright clouds, graceful as a swaying willow in the breeze.
About eighteen years of age, youthfully invincible.
Even the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, both peerless beauties themselves, were stunned when they saw Feng Yu's transformed appearance, captivated by her beauty.
She was even more stunning than people imagined the Phoenix Goddess to be.
"Greetings, Phoenix God."
The Snow Empress quickly offered her respects.
The Ice Empress paused slightly, then followed suit.
"Greetings, Phoenix God."
Feng Yu nodded and said gently to the Ice Empress:
"Ice Empress, you can just call me Sister Feng Yu."
The Ice Empress's actions when facing the sudden Heavenly Tribulation had already earned Feng Yu's approval. Besides, since she was already Lin Xiao's contracted Soul Beast, they would be spending a lot of time together in the future, so it was good to be easygoing.
The Ice Empress hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Sister Feng Yu."
Lin Xiao said:
"Now that Feng Yu has completed Nirvana, it's time for our trip to the Extreme North to end."
"We should also prepare to set off."
The Snow Empress said:
"I need to say goodbye to Xiao Bai and Little Titan first."
"With Bing'er and me gone, they'll have to take care of this Extreme North."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
"Alright."
...
Sea God Island.
A year and a half had passed.
Of the six girls who came to Sea God Island, three had advanced to Soul Saints, and three had advanced to Soul Emperors (cultivation speed based on the original work).
At the foot of Sea God Mountain, the six girls gathered.
Today, they would undertake the first trial of the Sea God's Light.
The six girls' current Soul Power levels were:
Shui Bing'er: Level 73, Power Attack System Soul Saint;
Dugu Yan: Level 73, Control System Soul Saint;
Ye Lingling: Level 71, Support System Tool Soul Saint;
Ning Rongrong: Level 68, Support System Tool Soul Emperor;
Zhu Zhuqing: Level 68, Agile Attack System Battle Soul Emperor;
Shui Yue'er: Level 67, Agile Attack System Battle Soul Emperor;
The six girls had improved significantly in strength. Besides their diligent cultivation on Sea God Island for a year and a half, the Immortal Herb Pills refined by Ye Qingxian were also indispensable.
Everyone present had taken the Immortal Herb Pill, and their physiques had improved.
Unlike the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story, who climbed the mountain one by one, the six girls chose to pass through the Sea God's Light together, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.
But in reality, this was a new requirement added by Sea God Island.
Otherwise, with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling present, everyone reaching the summit would be effortless.
According to the pre-arranged formation.
Shui Bing'er took the lead, with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling one step behind her.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Shui Yue'er were two steps further back.
They formed an equilateral triangle formation.
It could also be called a pointed锥 formation.
Despite being a support-type Soul Master, Ye Lingling's physical strength was extremely powerful, honed by the Eight Section Brocade and the Nine Hearted Begonia. Her Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul also granted her exceptional resilience.
They began to ascend the Sea God's stairs.
From the first step to the 100th, the pressure increased sharply.
The light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly as they continued forward.
Shui Yue'er and Zhu Zhuqing reached the 100th step, completing their assessment. Their Soul Power each increased by 1 level, completing the Black Level First Trial.
Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan reached the 136th step, their Soul Power increasing by one level, and the age of all their Soul Rings increasing by 500 years, completing the Red Level First Trial.
Only Shui Bing'er remained on the path, moving forward silently.
At the 228th step, she had already achieved the First Trial of the Top Eight Trials.
The assessment for the Top Nine Trials required reaching the 360th step.
Shui Bing'er could already feel the pressure increasing sharply.
Her straight, slender legs trembled, and glistening sweat flowed down the girl's fair cheeks, dripping from the tip of her nose and hitting the ground with a soft pat.
The light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the rain of light from the Nine Hearted Begonia enveloped Shui Bing'er.
She paused slightly, then continued forward.
At the 268th step, Shui Bing'er transformed into her Ice Phoenix true form.
At the 298th step, the Ice Phoenix true form became difficult to maintain, and her External Soul Bone, the Snow Feather Screen Light Slash, was activated.
Crimson blood seeped from the girl's translucent skin, a sign of ruptured capillaries.
But surprisingly, Shui Bing'er, enduring such pressure, didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, and didn't threaten to give up. Instead, she looked up and revealed a sweet smile.
"The Sea God Nine Trials are so difficult..."
"But, it's precisely because it's difficult that it's worth it for Bing'er to do it."
Bo Saixi's heart rippled.
She was shocked by the girl's state of mind at this moment.
Why, after crossing the Sea God's Light and with her body at its limit, was she exuding a sense of joy from within?
She couldn't understand it.
When she had crossed the Sea God's Light, in her most difficult moments, she had wondered whether to give up. In the end, she had stopped at the Top Seven Trials and become the High Priest of Sea God Island.
The pressure Shui Bing'er was facing was clearly no less than what she had faced back then...
Shui Bing'er moved with difficulty, like a snail, climbing the last 62 steps.
All of her Soul Rings and Soul Bones were in use.
By the 348th step, Shui Bing'er was covered in blood.
Ye Lingling's eyes were filled with tears.
Her Soul Power was constantly being consumed in large amounts, meaning that Shui Bing'er's body was constantly suffering immense torment and pain. She offered painkillers, but Shui Bing'er refused.
"Lin Xiao's Evil Fire Body Tempering is much more painful than this!"
"Bing'er can't help him share it, so being able to experience that kind of pain after so many years is a way for her to get closer to Lin Xiao."
Dugu Yan looked conflicted.
For a moment, she even wanted to let Shui Bing'er be the main wife.
Shui Bing'er truly loved Lin Xiao.
Suddenly, she bit her lip fiercely, turned, and walked away.
Ye Lingling said:
"Yan'er, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to challenge the Top Eight Trials!"
If Shui Bing'er could do it, why couldn't she? She clearly still had strength to spare!
"Wait!"
Ye Lingling said helplessly:
"Yan'er, wait for me to recover my Soul Power first. Let's wait for Bing'er to finish."
Ning Rongrong, holding the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was deeply shaken.
She suddenly realized that it was normal for her not to be able to win Lin Xiao's heart.
Losing to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, she could say that she had lost to childhood friends, lost to the deep connection between their families and Lin Xiao. She still had reasons to be unconvinced.
But losing to Shui Bing'er, she was completely convinced...
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt a wave of humiliation, an immense sense of shame filling her heart.
"Shui Bing'er can advance fearlessly."
"Do I, who has no way out, have the right not to give it my all?"
She silently got up and walked to Ning Rongrong's side.
"Rongrong, I beg you. Help me later..."
