Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 16 Snow Emperor Order

"Wait! The fallen Ice Soul Beast has long been destroyed! What Yuhao needs to awaken his Ice Martial Soul is the soul of a powerful Ice Soul Beast." Tian Meng was interrupted by the Ice Emperor before he could finish his words.

"Frost Phoenix, Phoenixes all have the ability to achieve nirvana, is that possible?" Ice Emperor had a vague answer in her mind. She looked at Snow Emperor, trying to get the answer from her.

"Yes. Twenty thousand years ago, the previous Second Heavenly King of the Far North, your predecessor, didn't survive the six hundred thousand year long tribulation, but his residual soul fell into a deep sleep within his own remains through nirvana. Theoretically, if you can find a way to wake her, you should be able to complete the awakening of that Ice Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully, "Then how do we awaken the former Second Heavenly King?"

The Snow Queen didn't look back at Huo Yuhao, but continued to fly towards the Ice God Valley with him at a rapid speed. However, a cold voice slowly sounded beside him, "When you absorb the soul bone, don't you need the other party's approval? Of course, submission is also possible."

Huo Yuhao did not speak any more. He was seriously considering what Xue Di had said.
Ice God Valley.

Xue Di brought Huo Yuhao and slowly descended from the sky.

The extremely cold air was like a string of flowing ice crystals. As the two of them broke in, it made a series of crisp sounds, like the natural music played by heaven and earth.

The empty valley echoed and resonated, gradually bringing the music to its climax.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but close his eyes, quietly listening to such ethereal music. It was as if his entire mind was absorbed in it, and all worldly distractions were completely washed away at that moment.
Xue Di did not disturb Huo Yuhao. She was actually very happy that someone liked this place as much as she did. No one would hate others for liking their own home, not even her, the master of the Far North.

After a long time, the music gradually came to an end, and then the Ice God Valley returned to silence again.

Huo Yuhao reluctantly opened his eyes again, and the world of ice white and ice blue reappeared before his eyes. The cold wind gently blew past his ears, as if welcoming his arrival.

"It's a beautiful world here."

As Xue Di listened to Huo Yuhao's words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her already fairy-like face seemed to have a human flavor.

The beautiful lady seemed to have walked out of the painting. She danced gracefully in the white valley with lotus steps, accompanied by the wind and snow. A new movement of music sounded between heaven and earth.
Huo Yuhao became a little dazed as he looked at Xue Di. A different feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He took a deep breath and shifted his gaze away from this elf-like woman. He was afraid that if he looked at her any longer, he would fall completely for her.

He knew what that feeling was.
The wind and snow gradually died down, the music of heaven and earth fell silent again, and the solo dance of the Snow Maiden finally came to an end.
Huo Yuhao followed the Snow Empress to the ice spring. The aura of ice element here was the richest in the entire Ice God Valley. The Snow Empress had planted many rare treasures from the Far North near the ice spring, the 100,000-year-old snow lotus being the most precious of them all. Huo Yuhao spotted it at first sight. The heart-pounding energy it exuded was so intense that he couldn't look away at it.

Xue Di gently tapped her finger, and an ice path separated in the middle of the ice spring, and an ice cave hidden underneath emerged.

The two walked in, one in front of the other. The ice cave was enormous, half the size of a football field. Over a hundred small holes had been chiseled into the surrounding ice walls, each embedded with a luminous pearl. These pearls were clearly the cave's lighting system. Scattered throughout the cave were no fewer than twenty ice platforms, each bearing a miniature ice sculpture: some depicting tiger-like spirit beasts, others wolf-like spirit beasts, and even dragon-like spirit beasts.
Huo Yuhao had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his mind. He asked the Snow Empress, "Does each ice platform here represent a fallen 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

A hint of sadness lingered in Xue Di's cold voice. "You guessed right. Each of these ice platforms is the resting place of a fallen king of the Far North. In your human terms, this is the royal mausoleum of the Far North."

"Since the day I became the Lord of the Far North, the remains of all the hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beasts that have fallen in the Far North have been placed here. Some perished in the face of the heavenly tribulation, while others were slain by me personally after causing trouble. But no matter how they died, they are all my people. I wanted to leave something for them. Thus, this ice cave was created."

"And what I call remains are the hundred thousand year old soul bones that you humans regard as the most precious treasures."

After Xue Di finished speaking, she looked at Huo Yuhao with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. She was pleased that Huo Yuhao didn't show any greed. Instead, he looked exceptionally solemn, as if he were visiting a grave. This made her impression of Huo Yuhao rise to a new level.

She knew very well that once these things got out, the strong among humans would flock to the scene. While she was alive, she could effectively deter these robbers, but what if she died?

The most important reason why she brought Huo Yuhao here today was that she hoped to make friends with this future human powerhouse. If one day he could truly become a god and achieve immortality, perhaps he would be able to protect the creatures of the Far North in consideration of the favor he had shown him today.

But humans are always cunning and changeable. She didn't dare to bet whether Huo Yuhao would be ungrateful. Even if Huo Yuhao didn't have greedy desires now, he knew about this place after all. What if he suddenly changed in the future?
She quickly dispelled this worry.

Because she saw this ten-year-old boy personally shaping one white ice lotus after another, solemnly placing them on one ice platform after another with both hands, and then clasping his hands together in front of his chest and bowing slightly to these ice platforms.
After the tomb sweeping was over, Huo Yuhao turned to look at Xue Di, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly, "I don't understand the rules of your soul beasts, so I just swept the tomb according to the way of my hometown. If I'm offended, please forgive me."

Xue Di's eyes softened, and her cold voice seemed to carry a hint of ease and joy. "We don't have that many rules. Thank you for your respect. Take this. Seeing it is like seeing me. From now on, you will be a guest of the Far North. You are always welcome here."

As she spoke, the Snow Queen placed an ice-blue snowflake in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Huo Yuhao stared at the Snow Empress in amazement, took a deep breath, and carefully accepted the snowflake. He knew what it was. It was the Snow Empress's token, the Snow Empress's command, capable of commanding all the beasts of the Far North!
What surprised him was that the snowflakes were actually warm, but he could clearly feel how terrifying the extreme icy aura contained in the snowflakes was.

Looking at the natural ice-blue snowflake in his hand, Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, took out a silver chain from his soul guide, tied the Snow Emperor Order to it, and then wore it around his neck.

Xue Di was completely bewildered by Huo Yuhao's actions. She had no idea what he meant by them. Before she could figure it out, Huo Yuhao looked at her with a burning gaze and quietly made his promise.

"I'll give you a return gift next time I come."
