In the far north, a frigid storm roared, snowflakes swirling in all directions.
Atop an ice cliff, a figure floated, her long, pure white hair reaching her waist, her ice-blue robes unable to conceal her alluring curves, yet her stunning face was filled with icy indifference.
She reached out a delicate hand, gently catching a swirling snowflake. The Xue Di gazed at the vast white earth, her waist-length hair dancing in the cold wind.
The snow spirit, the leader of the three kings of the far north, the Xue Di.
Releasing her hand, letting the snowflake be carried away by the wind, a rich, ice-blue soul power swirled around her body, snowflakes dancing in the air, making her appear like an ice fairy descended to earth—a pity that such unparalleled beauty went unappreciated.
After a long while, the soul power surrounding her body dissipated. The Xue Di sighed, looked up at the sky, and lamented, "The Heavenly Tribulation of my life is approaching. I have a premonition that this time, the odds are against me. If I perish, I wonder what will become of the far north, trampled by humans. And Bing'er, will she be heartbroken without me?"
The Xue Di gave a self-deprecating smile, gazing at the sky as if trying to see through the world behind it, and murmured to herself, "Give me an opportunity. At least for now, I don't want to perish."
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao heard the Xue Di's voice, for with a flash of lightning, a black vortex was reflected in the Xue Di's widening eyes.
The entire sky seemed to surge upwards, with jet-black lightning constantly shooting out within the black hole, sucking countless shards of ice and snow into it.
Gazing at the black vortex swallowing the sky, Xue Di could hear the roars of beasts emanating from within. As the roars grew fainter, Xue Di's heart skipped a beat, a strange premonition rising within her. She murmured to herself, "This black hole seems to hold an opportunity!"
With that, Xue Di rose into the air, transforming into a streak of blue light and disappearing from her spot, flying towards the black hole.
At this moment, the black hole seemed to have completed its charging, shooting out a white beam of light that crashed to the ground. With Xue Di's keen eyesight, it was easy to see that it resembled a humanoid creature.
When Xue Di reached the very center of the bottom of the black hole, a large crater had appeared on the ground. Silent and without a sound, the ground was smooth and even, the crater appearing as if the earth had been swallowed up.
Xue Di slowly flew closer and saw a human lying in the crater.
"A human?"
Startled, Xue Di looked up at the sky above, where the black hole spewing lightning was gradually disappearing.
Xue Di was filled with doubt. "How could a human cause such a commotion? Could it be related to the legendary divine realm?"
If Ye Nanxiao heard this, he would probably roll his eyes. As it turned out, Xue Di was completely overthinking things; he was just one of the vast army of transmigrators.
Compared to the various bizarre reasons for transmigrating, Ye Nanxiao thought his was much more normal: he went hiking and got buried by a collapsing fox temple deep in the mountains.
As a tech geek of the new century, after overworking himself to the point of developing a serious illness, and knowing he had only a year to live, he ripped off all the treatment tubes, left the hospital, bought a plane ticket, packed his backpack, and went to see the world, climbing an unknown mountain.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly and began to recall.
"I remember, while climbing the mountain, I saw a litter of fox cubs trapped in a hunter's net. Seeing that the foxes were still small, I opened the net, casually putting some money inside and feeding them some ham from my backpack."
"After feeding them, when I tried to leave, two fox cubs tugged at my trouser leg. Out of curiosity, I followed them, and then I was led to a dilapidated fox temple. Seeing how ruined the temple was, I suddenly felt like cleaning it all afternoon, and finally offered a prayer to the fox statue. Then the temple collapsed." Ye Nanxiao recalled the scene before his transmigration with difficulty.
"Right, that statue...it's strange!" Ye Nanxiao remembered that before the fox temple collapsed, the only nine-tailed fox statue in the temple seemed to smile at him?
Was it that nine-tailed fox statue?
As his body slowly moved, Ye Nanxiao clearly felt a mysterious power within him, and this power was enormous.
Ye Nanxiao blinked, and suddenly his whole body emitted a dazzling light.
From the Xue Di's perspective, a pillar of light shot into the sky from within the crater. Unlike the silent fall before, this one was incredibly powerful, its roar echoing throughout the entire far north.
Instantly, all the powerful beings of the far north turned their gaze towards Ye Nanxiao's location.
The Xue Di had been silently sensing the changes in Ye Nanxiao's power throughout. Approaching the great calamity, she wasn't confident she could survive. If Ye Nanxiao was her opportunity, she would spare no effort.
Gazing at the soaring pillar of light, the Xue Di suddenly recalled an idea the Ice Empress had shared with her long ago—an idea she couldn't comprehend.
Just as the Xue Di was pondering this, the situation on Ye Nanxiao's side began to near its end. A phantom of a nine-tailed fox appeared behind Ye Nanxiao. Although the nine-tailed fox was merely a phantom, the Xue Di felt as if a living, ancient ferocious beast stood before her.
The nine-tailed fox opened its jaws and roared at the Xue Di.
As the master of the far north, every creature of the far north held the Xue Di in high esteem.
The Xue Di frowned slightly, raised her right hand, and a blizzard rose, engulfing the entire pit.
Surrounded by the blizzard, the nine-tailed fox phantom, curious about the storm summoned by the Xue Di, circled Ye Nanxiao a few times before opening its massive maw and unleashing a powerful suction force, swallowing the blizzard whole.
A flicker of surprise crossed the Xue Di's eyes as the blizzard was sucked away; her soul power seemed to have been devoured. Her icy blue soul power erupted immediately. Although the Xue Di didn't know what the nine-tailed fox before her was, she currently wanted it to submit to the master of the far north.
A blizzard covering a radius of a hundred miles silently descended, the swirling snowflakes transforming into fierce blades, whistling and swirling around the Xue Di.
The Xue Di crossed her arms, looking down at the nine-tailed fox guarding Ye Nanxiao, and coldly asked, "Submit?"
The nine-tailed fox phantom glanced at the Xue Di, then turned to look at the blizzard surrounding it, opening its jaws once more.
Just as the nine-tailed fox phantom opened its jaws, the Xue Di controlled countless snowflakes to attack it. The once soft snowflakes transformed into deadly blades.
Disobey? Then beat them until they submit.
The Xue Di was the ruler of the far north. Although she didn't know the origins of the nine-tailed fox phantom and the human before her, this was her territory.
Ye Nanxiao seemed to sense the threat and roared to the sky. The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly, merging into the nine-tailed fox's body.
The snowflakes, transformed into blades, were absorbed into the nine-tailed fox phantom as easily as mud sinking into the sea upon contact with its jaws.
After the nine-tailed fox phantom swallowed the Xue Di's attack, the Xue Di, surrounded by snowflakes, slowly floated down, landing just a few meters in front of Ye Nanxiao.
The nine-tailed fox phantom looked at the Xue Di, its body slightly bowed, ready to attack at any moment.
Witnessing the phantom's astonishing devouring ability, the Xue Di asked, "What kind of being are you? Why have you descended upon my far north?"
The nine-tailed fox phantom hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the Xue Di, transforming into a blue light and entering Ye Nanxiao's body.
Snow-white fur began to grow on Ye Nanxiao's body, his entire body became stronger, two beast-like ears appeared on his head, a pale blue stripe appeared below each eye, nine tails appeared behind him, and a soul imprint pattern—a nine-tailed fox—appeared on his right collarbone.
Sensing the emergence of his martial soul, Ye Nanxiao felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.
With the martial soul possessing him, Ye Nanxiao could no longer suppress his excitement and roared to the sky again.
The Xue Di, lost in thought, was awakened by Ye Nanxiao's roar. She carefully sensed the creature before her and discovered that Ye Nanxiao seemed neither human nor a soul beast.

"Awakened Martial Soul? Is it human?" The Xue Di frowned slightly, muttering to herself.
"What are you, and why did you descend upon the far north?" the Xue Di asked Ye Nanxiao.
Still in a daze, Ye Nanxiao heard someone asking him a question. Although his mind was unclear, he still answered the Xue Di's question.
"I should be considered human. My descent was not my intention," Ye Nanxiao replied.
Just as the Xue Di was about to ask another question, she noticed the surrounding brightness rapidly decreasing. A muffled rumble of thunder made her look up at the sky.
Dark clouds churned, and bolts of lightning as thick as buckets flashed within them, interspersed with purple lightning.
This sight almost made the Xue Di think her tribulation had arrived, but she knew very well that there was still plenty of time before her next tribulation, and before that tribulation arrived, she already had other plans to overcome it.
The thunderclouds continued to expand, and the lightning continued to accumulate power.
The Xue Di looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was awakening his martial soul. Besides her, Ye Nanxiao was the only living being present, and it was clear that he was the one who had attracted the heavenly tribulation.
Without time to think, the Xue Di flashed out of the crater and witnessed the arrival of the tribulation.
Bolts of lightning struck Ye Nanxiao, like a cataclysmic calamity descending.
Suddenly, a blood-red barrier appeared around Ye Nanxiao. The lightning struck it, disappearing silently as if it were mud entering the sea.
However, with each disappearing bolt, the blood-red light on the barrier intensified.
Ye Nanxiao's actions seemed to enrage the thunderclouds. Accompanied by thunder, the thunderclouds slowly shrank, and bolts of lightning rolled like thunder dragons.
"The heavenly tribulation is gathering power; is this the final strike?" The Xue Di's beautiful eyes were fixed on the blood-red barrier, as if trying to see Ye Nanxiao behind it.
After sensing for a while, the Xue Di found that she could not clearly perceive the situation within Ye Nanxiao's body.
A moment later, an aura that the Xue Di was very familiar with began to emanate from Ye Nanxiao.
Sensing a familiar aura, a hint of surprise appeared on the Xue Di's exquisite face. "This feeling... the ultimate ice?"
Just as the Xue Di released her spiritual power to try and understand, her spreading spiritual power was swallowed up by the blood-red barrier.
"Boom!!"
The final bolt of lightning, carrying the power of world destruction, crashed down on the blood-red barrier.
This time, the lightning successfully shattered the blood-red screen and struck Ye Nanxiao.
However, the lightning did not harm Ye Nanxiao; instead, it was absorbed into his body.
Ye Nanxiao was currently reviewing the information coming from his mind. After absorbing the external power and fusing it with his own, his awakened martial soul was the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox. The martial soul carried the power aura of Blue Star, making it impossible for the Xue Di to detect Ye Nanxiao's martial soul.
After absorbing the lightning, Ye Nanxiao's martial soul possessed him, and he roared to the sky.
An aura that made all soul beasts tremble instantly appeared in the far north.
The Xue Di's expression was solemn, and a storm of snowflakes was brewing behind her.
That was the aura of the heavenly tribulation that had just occurred.
Xue Di felt her vision blur for a moment, and in her mind, she seemed to see a nine-tailed fox standing between heaven and earth, looking up at the sky with a hint of disdain in its beastly eyes. Faced with this power, Xue Di felt that even with all her strength, she couldn't resist.
The thunderclouds in the sky quickly disappeared, and the world returned to calm, with only the north wind still howling.
The strange phenomenon that made all the soul beasts in the far north tremble was fleeting, and Xue Di suddenly awoke.
"What was that fleeting thing? An aura even stronger than Di Tian's? A million-year-old soul beast? Or perhaps, a god? Such a bizarre power!" A hint of shock flashed in Xue Di's eyes as she stared intently at Ye Nanxiao, who was sensing the power.
Just as Ye Nanxiao began to withdraw the power from his body, Xue Di thought to herself, "If he can't break through the Heavenly Tribulation of his age, then the only path left is to start over. Starting over is ultimately too dangerous. If this little guy has a chance to become a god..."
Sensing Ye Nanxiao's aura beginning to recede, and having just experienced the impact of the nine-tailed fox's pressure, Xue Di didn't have time to think further. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes as she decided to take a gamble.
Her long, snow-white hair billowed, and blue flames enveloped her delicate body, causing the Xue Di's aura to rise steadily. As her aura intensified, the flames on her body grew stronger, gradually spreading to Ye Nanxiao.
The Xue Di's expression was solemn as she spoke, word by word, "I am the Ice and Snow Maiden, and today I offer myself to you!"
Ye Nanxiao quickly noticed the blue flames. As his gaze moved upward, he could only see a figure enveloped in blue flames.
His arms instinctively crossed in front of his chest, attempting to block the blue flames. The flames coiled around his arms, but Ye Nanxiao felt no heat.
A red soul ring rose from the Xue Di's body, representing her cultivation level, and slowly descended upon Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao, who was trying to unleash his power, finally saw the Xue Di surrounded by flames. While marveling at her beauty, he also felt the power of her sacrifice penetrating his body.
The sacrifice was swift; in less than a quarter of an hour, the Xue Di had become a phantom, all her power surging into Ye Nanxiao's body. Her final task was to seal her soul within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
A red soul ring merged into Ye Nanxiao's Nine-Tailed Snow Fox martial soul, becoming its first soul ring. The ring was adorned with magnificent patterns: the left side depicted the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox, and the right side the Snow Maiden.
After Ye Nanxiao's soul ring appeared, the Xue Di seemed drawn to him, transforming into a tiny point of light and merging into his body from between his brows.
An invisible surge of energy erupted, like a supervolcano erupting violently in the desolate far north, where only the wind could be heard. All the soul beasts felt Ye Nanxiao's powerful soul energy fluctuations and the Xue Di's final farewell.
Instantly, all the soul beasts in the far north revealed themselves, kneeling in the direction of Ye Nanxiao.
In the secret realm of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, a powerful soul force surged into the sky, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion roared as it flew out, shouting, "Who is it! Why is the Xue Di's aura disappearing? Is it some despicable human! Daring to covet my far north?!"
However, the Ice Empress did not sense Ye Nanxiao's presence.
In the Titan Snow Demon Ape clan, the Titan Snow Demon King sat on a massive ice throne, his tightly closed eyes slightly opening as he muttered to himself, "The Xue Di's power is beginning to fade, but this soul force fluctuation doesn't seem like a battle."
However, the Xue Di didn't understand one thing: the method Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had mentioned to her was based on crossing the million-year threshold.
As the Xue Di's power entered Ye Nanxiao's body, the fox that had been dormant within him temporarily awoke.
As the sacrifice ended, the Xue Di's consciousness gradually blurred, and her thoughts gradually ceased. (
