With the Snow Empress's strength, if she said her ice sword could injure a Limit Douluo, then it definitely could.
The trip to the Far North had unexpectedly yielded such a gain, truly delightful.
"Thank you for your gift, Senior. I will certainly keep my promise and bring you the successor of the Sea God."
Pei Qing was actually planning for Shui Bing'er. The Sea God was one of the top existences among the first-level gods in the God Realm. If Shui Bing'er could inherit the Sea God's position and successively acquire the soul rings of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, then even the position of God King wouldn't be out of the question.
After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was nearly a million years old, the Snow Empress nearly seven hundred thousand years old, and the Ice Empress nearly four hundred thousand years old. If she were to obtain a Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm soul ring in the future, Shui Bing'er would possess the most terrifying soul ring age in the entire continent.
Relying on such a terrifying foundation, challenging for the God King position wouldn't be impossible.
"I only ask to escape the torment of the Heavenly Tribulation. Of course, if you can take good care of the Far North in the future, I will
consider it a favor I owe you." The Snow Emperor nodded slightly. Five years was just a matter of taking a nap for her, so she was not in a hurry.
"So now you can tell me your true identity, right?"
The Snow Emperor looked at Pei Qing opposite her with a probing gaze. Her eyes were very deep, trying to see something out of Pei Qing.
Unfortunately, that special quality that she could not see through was still there. Even if the Snow Emperor used all her spiritual power, she could not see through Pei Qing at all.
"Of course."
Pei Qing no longer hid and directly told the Snow Emperor some of his identities. Of course, he still did not mention some of his fundamental trump cards.
"A god who controls ten thousand stars, how terrifying. I'm afraid even the Ice God is nothing in front of you in the future."
Because of the ice attribute, the Far North is a natural worshipper of the Ice God.
Even an existence like the Snow Emperor is full of respect and fanaticism for the Ice God.
"The Ice God belongs to the elemental gods, but he's not among the seven first-level elemental gods."
"There are two reasons for this: one, the Ice God didn't get along well with the other elemental gods; two, the Ice God has already perished, and there's no longer any Ice God in the God Realm."
The first is highly unlikely, since there are only so many elemental gods, and the probability of the Ice God having a bad relationship with other elemental gods is low.
After all, even in the God Realm, power matters; elemental gods don't belong to any of the five God Kings, so they usually stick together.
Therefore, the Ice God has most likely perished, and most likely perished in the war that the Dragon God started due to his idiocy.
After all, the Ice God is very likely a beast god, not some human-cultivated deity.
As for why Pei Qing is so confident, it's purely because the Ice God has rather unusual tastes. After all, even a soul beast like the Titan Snow Demon can possess the Ice God's bloodline. If the Ice God were human, well, let's not joke about such ethical issues!
In the following days, Pei Qing and the group stayed in the far north.
When the Snow Emperor had free time, she would occasionally guide Di Mingli and the others in their cultivation.
The Snow Empress's fighting style wasn't the grand, sweeping kind; rather, it was swift and agile, seizing opportunities to deliver a fatal blow.
Even her casual guidance could save Zhu Zhuqing from many detours.
Meanwhile, in an ice palace, Pei Qing sat cross-legged on an ice bed, holding the 100,000-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus in his hand, his gaze gradually becoming serious.
His current cultivation level was at the peak of level 64, and he could potentially reach level 65 at any moment.
The 100,000-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus before him possessed medicinal properties far surpassing ordinary immortal herbs.
Pei Qing felt that if he consumed this Tianshan Snow Lotus, even directly advancing to level 70 wouldn't be impossible.
Level 70 was a significant hurdle for Pei Qing; once he reached it, the limitations on his ultimate attributes would completely disappear, and his cultivation speed would experience a massive boost.
Pei Qing had long anticipated reaching level 70, and upon doing so, he could condense a second soul core.
There were generally two choices for the second soul core. Most soul masters chose the same-position resonance, a relatively ordinary method of soul core formation.
While condensing the second soul core, one needed to find the operating mode of the first soul core, simulate it, and finally bring the two soul cores to a corresponding center!
Besides the same-position resonance option, there was another choice: the Yin-Yang Balanced Dual Soul Core.
After the Yin-Yang Balanced Dual Soul Core was formed, the powers of the two soul cores would merge.
By recombinating, refining, and condensing his own power to achieve maximum efficiency, his combat strength would multiply under the influence of the Yin-Yang balanced dual soul cores.
Furthermore, its ultimate fire and ultimate sacred characteristics would fuse together, at which point the sacred true fire of the sun would burn away all evil.
Smelling the fragrance emanating from the Tian Shan snow lotus, Pei Qing unhesitatingly plucked a petal and popped it into his mouth.
The snow lotus melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into the most concentrated spiritual liquid.
The spiritual liquid, brimming with powerful medicinal properties, continuously cleansed everything within Pei Qing's body, enhancing his physical strength, boosting his talent, and constantly strengthening his internal organs!
Not only was his body strengthened, but Pei Qing's soul power also began to increase rapidly.
The concentrated medicinal power continuously converted into soul power, flowing continuously through Pei Qing's eight extraordinary meridians.
Faced with this excess soul power, Pei Qing directly chose to compress, compress, and compress again, until he completely liquefied the soul power before stopping with satisfaction.
Level 65, achieved!
With just one, or even less, the medicinal power of that one leaf was used up, and Pei Qing had already broken through.
Feeling the extreme effects of the Heavenly Snow Lotus, Pei Qing didn't hesitate and directly swallowed all of them in one gulp.
Instantly, a great sun soared into the sky, a divine descent!
Deep in the far north, in this world perpetually covered in ice and snow, a golden sun was rising brilliantly.
As Pei Qing's soul power increased, the great sun in his spiritual sea began to solidify.
The true aura of the Three-Legged Golden Crow began to spread wildly within Pei Qing's body.
The Three-Legged Golden Crow, the true sun god bird, existed in only two places in ancient times.
One was the former Heavenly Emperor, the innate saint Di Jun!
The other was the once invincible Donghuang Taiyi, hailed as one of the strongest.
Pei Qing finally understood himself; the path he cultivated had always been the Donghuang Way!
The Taiyi Breathing Technique was also a part of the Donghuang Taiyi Way.
