Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 288: Overlord Clause, Divine Power Appears

"Xue'er, haven't you noticed that I am no longer a physical entity?" Bingdi asked instead of answering Xuedi's question.

"Not a physical entity? That's impossible! I can clearly feel the touch of your body." Xue Di said in surprise.

"What about now?" As Bingdi finished speaking, his body turned into a substance and became transparent, and finally turned into a ball of green light.

"Bing'er, Bing'er, what's going on? It's all my fault. I should have waited a little longer, helped you survive the heavenly calamity that will come four hundred thousand years from now, and then I will transform into a human being! Wuuuuu~!" Xue Di asked, and suddenly she blamed herself and burst into tears.

A soul beast without a body, only its spirit remaining, could only hope for one thing: death. She had only a few decades left before her 700,000-year deadline, while the Ice Emperor still had over 200 years left before her 400,000-year deadline. Her limited time left meant she couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't transform into a human, she would surely perish under the heavenly tribulation.

Snow Empress calculated that after she transformed, using her original soul power, compressed for seven hundred thousand years, to aid her cultivation, she would reach the Limit Douluo realm within fifty years. Then, she would help Ice Empress overcome her tribulations and seek the path to godhood. This was more than enough time. But she hadn't expected such tragic news today. Not only was Ice Empress dead, but she, too, was about to die at the hands of humans.

"Good Xue'er, don't cry. Look, I'm fine now!" An unprecedented scene appeared. Bingdi actually comforted Xuedi.

"Bing'er, how did you become like this?" After feeling sad about each other's experiences, Xue Di asked the most crucial question.

The Ice Emperor took a deep breath and began to talk about how the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had brought Wu Xuan to the Far North to find her. She then introduced the God-Creation Plan and the Wisdom Spirit Ring. She then described Wu Xuan's terrifying cultivation speed and his feat of defeating a Titled Douluo as a Soul Emperor. Finally, she described how Wu Xuan had constructed his first soul core upon breaking through to the Soul Emperor level, and how he had then used their spiritual energy to sense the divine realm's incredible feat.

Xue Di listened silently at first, but her mental fluctuations became stronger and stronger towards the end.

Finally, Xue Di couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "A sixteen-year-old Soul Saint is equivalent to a human who has completed the fifty- to sixty-thousand-year cultivation journey of a second-tier top-level Soul Beast in just ten years. Such talent is truly astonishing. I am not as good as him."

"Right, right! Xue'er, you are also optimistic about his talent, right?" Bingdi said with some surprise.

Xue Di nodded gently, then said meaningfully, "But Bing'er, have you ever thought about whether that human can really be trusted? Humans have always hated our soul beast clan. If you help him become a god, what if he turns against us in the end? Besides, being able to sense the divine realm doesn't guarantee godhood. In our long lives, how many people have reached the divine realm? Do you think that human has the potential?"

Upon hearing this, Bingdi retorted, "Xue'er, you have too many concerns. To accomplish great things, you must have the courage to do great things. There's nothing in this world that's 100% certain. At least I think he's trustworthy. If he's trustworthy, why can't I take a gamble? Furthermore, I believe there's really no one else in this era whose talent can match that guy's. If even he can't match him, then what's the point of you, Xue'er, transforming into a human?"

"Besides, the price I paid was only about two hundred years of life. If I make a wrong bet, the worst that could happen is that I die early. But if I bet right, the reward I get will be far more than those two hundred years of life. It will be eternal life." Bingdi said at the end with unparalleled determination in his eyes.

Xue Di remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Bing Di's words touched her deeply. She had embarked on the path of human transformation and rebirth because she was forced into a desperate situation by reality. If there was another choice, she swore that no matter how much pain she endured, she would not choose this path of human transformation. Her transformation and rebirth were also the stakes of her remaining three or four hundred years of life, while Bing Di used her remaining two hundred years to gamble with a human for a greater future. What was the difference between their approaches?
"Bing'er! Your choice may be right." Xue Di slowly uttered these words, turned her head and her eyes no longer had the luster of the past.

Ten thousand years ago, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was just one step away from becoming a million-year-old soul beast. He was the soul beast most likely to reach the status of a god, but in the end, he died at the hands of the inheritor of the Sea God. Perhaps, soul beasts really cannot become gods, and she chose the wrong path.

"Xue'er, actually, it was my request that the guy come to the Far North to find you this time." Bingdi forced Xuedi to straighten her head.

“???” Xue Di was a little angry when she heard that. It turned out that the beating she received was all the fault of the Bing Di in front of her.

"Xue'er, don't look at me like that! Why would I come to you if there was nothing good about it?" Bingdi felt a little uncomfortable with Xuedi's gaze and hurriedly explained.

Benefits? Xue Di recalled the previous scenes, her teeth itching with anger. This so-called benefit was that she, the ruler of the Far North who had never suffered the slightest injustice, was now humiliated by a human? And even reduced to a prisoner.

Just as Xue Di was about to say something, a flat male voice suddenly rang out. "You've all finished talking. Can Xue Di calm down and listen to my next plan?" Wu Xuan's voice rang out from the wind curtain first, followed by his figure.

Xue Di looked at Wu Xuan with an unnatural expression, but she nodded. "Go ahead!"

Seeing Xue Di's cooperation, Wu Xuan nodded slightly, then told Xue Di about the vacant martial soul slot brought by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and then told her about Xiao Xiao and the damage to her second martial soul.

"Second martial soul? Is this why you captured me?" Xue Di was so smart that she understood Wu Xuan's intention without him having to explain everything.

But after the previous humiliation, Xue Di subconsciously did not refute Wu Xuan's unreasonable request.

"Yes, I've pretty much explained the current situation. You now have two choices. First, you actively cooperate in becoming Xiaoxiao's second martial spirit. First, you're not the only one who can have this second martial spirit. If it weren't for the Ice Emperor's recommendation, I wouldn't have the time to travel all the way to the Far North to find you."

"Secondly, following me to become a god and achieve eternal life is not a gamble now!!" Wu Xuan did not speak, but his eyes narrowed slightly and instantly turned into a brilliant silver color. Under the fluctuation of this strange power, the expressions of Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor both changed because they felt a power from the silver light that did not belong to this world.

"Divine power. This is divine power!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was watching the show in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, suddenly trembled with excitement. Possessing divine power meant that for Wu Xuan, becoming a god was no longer a matter of probability, but a matter of exact time.
