"This is the aura of the Snow Emperor… she really chose to restart her cultivation as a human." The Ice Emperor stared at the slowly fading pillar of light, unable to hide her words.
As expected, she could not complete the seventy-thousand-year breakthrough, and ultimately chose the most difficult path of restarting her cultivation as a human.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sighed: "I didn't expect that all three of us would be troubled by this."
The Ice Emperor's expression darkened. "If it weren't for Yu Hao's warning, the Snow Emperor would have surely been captured by these humans during her restart period. After all, during this time, a Soul Beast is at its weakest."
"How did these guys manage to arrive at such an exact time?"
Listening to the conversation between the Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within the Spirit Sea, Huo Yuhao felt calmer. Either he could help the Snow Emperor, or he couldn't—there was no use overthinking it.
Three minutes passed quickly. At this moment, a shattering sound erupted at the entrance of the canyon, as a layer of glass-like light barrier quietly broke.
This was a seal set by the Snow Emperor outside the canyon, but it also indicated one thing: she had officially begun her human cultivation restart, causing her original power to retract, and the seal broke as a result.
Seeing this, Xu Shengzu did not hesitate. He said in a deep voice: "Let's go in. Remember, observe the situation before acting. If this hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast awakens, all our preparations will be wasted."
"Understood."
The other five Title Douluo nodded in agreement.
Waving his hand, Xu Shengzu led the way. He didn't use a flight Soul Guidance Device but flew directly toward the canyon interior. The other five followed, entering one after another.
Inside the Ice God Canyon, the temperature was even lower than outside. They could not know the exact conditions within the canyon, so they had to advance slowly.
Outside the canyon, in the Snow Peak region, Yan Shaozhe's gaze shifted. He grabbed Huo Yuhao and headed toward the Ice God Canyon.
"Ice Emperor, what's it like inside the canyon?"
Huo Yuhao quickly asked the Ice Emperor.
"You'll enter the canyon first, then I'll tell you how to quickly reach the Ice-Sealed Throne. I've been here quite a few times." The Ice Emperor replied swiftly.
"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded, then said to Yan Shaozhe: "Teacher, I'll guide the route inside. My second Martial Soul seems familiar with this place; I can sense it vaguely."
Surprised, Yan Shaozhe didn't refuse. "Fine, you lead."
The closer they got to the Ice God Canyon, the more awe-inspiring the towering mountains became, as if piercing the clouds. The canyon, which from afar appeared as a mere slit in the mountains, was in fact very spacious—its width exceeding eight hundred meters.
Once inside, they stopped in their tracks. The canyon was not a simple straight path; there were numerous branching routes—six in total, leading to unknown destinations.
"Take the second path on the left; it's the quickest. There are also some top-tier ice-elemental herbs along the way—you can gather them appropriately," the Ice Emperor reminded.
"Second path on the left," Huo Yuhao said.
Yan Shaozhe nodded and led the way.
The branching paths were simple—just ice—but deeper in, more forks appeared. Huo Yuhao wanted to comment, "Are we playing in a maze here?"
"First path on the right," the Ice Emperor continued.
Huo Yuhao relayed the instructions to Yan Shaozhe, and the two continued. Soon, Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened. Ice walls and the ground were covered with various plants, as if they had entered a greenhouse. Seeing the types of plants, he was amazed.
"Tianbing Flower, Cold Ice Arrowgrass, Ice Spirit Fruit, Extreme Cold Lingzhi…"
"Wow, these are top-tier ice herbs extremely rare outside."
Yan Shaozhe wasted no time, carefully picking twenty-three mature herbs in about a minute. Their total value exceeded thirty million Gold Soul Coins.
With the herbs collected, they proceeded. The paths twisted and occasionally intersected—like a true maze.
Following the Ice Emperor's instructions, they gathered herbs while moving forward, finally arriving before a soul-stirring statue.
A hundred meters ahead, two enormous beast-shaped statues stood on either side of a massive ice gate, modeled after the Ice Scorpion Clan.
"This is the Ice Scorpion Gate, exclusive to my Ice Scorpion Clan. All powerful clans have statues of this height—over a hundred meters—for uniformity," the Ice Emperor explained.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"What next?" Huo Yuhao asked. Yan Shaozhe examined the statues.
"Pass through this gate, and you'll exit the Ice God Canyon, entering the Ice God Mountain region. The Ice-Sealed Throne is on a plateau below. I'll guide you to hide."
Huo Yuhao nodded and followed Yan Shaozhe.
"Teacher, let's go in."
Yan Shaozhe nodded. As they stepped through the over-two-hundred-meter Ice Scorpion Gate, Huo Yuhao felt a ripple in his heart, reminiscent of when the Sun God Pillar appeared. He hesitated but noticed nothing unusual—was it just a mirage?
They continued a hundred meters into the open area. The plateau's sky was unobstructed, though framed by ice walls like mountain cliffs. The square plateau could only be accessed through routes like the Ice Scorpion Gate, while narrower parallel paths indicated hierarchy.
Ten massive statues stood in the open area, spaced about fifty meters apart, heads bowed as if collectively paying homage.
Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe stepped onto the icy ground.
Ahead, steps led up to a spacious platform emitting overwhelming authority. From below, they could not see the throne. Around the platform, elemental energy converged on the center.
"Rain Hao, follow your teacher and hide on the Titan Snow Demon King statue. The humans will arrive soon," the Ice Emperor instructed.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Let's hide on the statue's head; it's safer."
Yan Shaozhe noticed a break in the ice wall to the left, about a hundred meters away, perfect for hiding. Leading Huo Yuhao there, they climbed up. From their vantage point, they saw the magnificent throne.
The throne resembled a human emperor's dragon chair, with decorations spreading thirty meters high like a peacock's tail, glowing icy blue with flickering light, and faint mist rising. Snowflake patterns adorned its top.
Yet their attention was drawn to a thick white mist hovering before the throne, absorbing ice-elemental energy. Every influx of energy made it flicker and shrink—a new life was forming.
"A Soul Beast is truly restarting as a human."
Yan Shaozhe was amazed. This was his first time witnessing a Soul Beast choosing this path. The previous descriptions by Xiao Wu at Shrek Academy were different from what he saw here.
Huo Yuhao's expression darkened. No wonder the original Snow Emperor was so easily captured. During this time, she was extremely weak—a Soul Sect member could kill her.
"Rain Hao, should we take this Soul Beast back to the academy after it completes transformation?" Yan Shaozhe mused.
The Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were startled.
Huo Yuhao quickly reassured them: "Teacher, you mean taking her to train, not kill, right?"
Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "Not kill. I want to study her transformation. The first seven soul rings don't require hunting; the Soul Beast forms them herself. Understanding this could help us develop artificial soul rings. Humans are increasing, the number of Soul Beasts is insufficient—they could eventually be wiped out. We must prepare for the future."
The Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm relaxed. Huo Yuhao realized that Yan Shaozhe had long been considering the same problem as Wang Yan in the original story: the declining number of Soul Beasts.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao noticed a few figures emerging from a path below. "Teacher, they've arrived."
Looking down, Yan Shaozhe saw six Title Douluo from the Xingluo Empire cautiously entering the open area. Huo Yuhao refrained from using mental detection to avoid being discovered.
The six humans noticed the platform and the converging elemental energy. Excitement filled them—they saw no threatening aura of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, meaning it was in its weak transformation phase.
"When do we act?" Hu Yaozong's breathing was quick.
"Observe first," Xu Shengzu replied cautiously. They leaped onto the Titan Snow Demon King statue.
Huo Yuhao praised Yan Shaozhe's foresight—if they had also gone onto the statue, they might have met these humans.
From their vantage point, they saw the white mist. Xu Shengzu formed a constellation map in front of him to determine the optimal moment.
"In ten minutes at most, this Soul Beast's aura will reach its weakest. Then we'll apply the sealing force. Yaozong, you'll place it into the Sealing God Platform immediately after control."
"Yes," they responded in unison.
The six sat quietly, ready.
Huo Yuhao whispered to the Ice Emperor: "I have a plan, but I need your help."
"What plan?" the Ice Emperor asked.
Huo Yuhao inhaled deeply. "When they use the Soul Guidance Device to contain the Snow Emperor, inject your fundamental power into my soul force. I'll shoot an ice arrow to help her break free. If successful, transmit a message through me to alert her who saved her, where I am, and why you aren't there. But only if the Ice Bear King arrives—if not, I won't act, to protect my teacher."
The Ice Emperor agreed without hesitation.
Ten minutes passed quickly. The constellation map's glow intensified, signaling Xu Shengzu to act.
Suddenly, snow began falling from above, an unusual phenomenon. Huo Yuhao noticed but remained silent, especially since the Ice Bear King hadn't arrived. He decided not to intervene, staying with Yan Shaozhe as a spectator.
The Snow Emperor's white mist expanded, drawing in elemental energy. Her aura was extremely fragile—a Soul Zun could easily kill her.
"She's compressing her fundamental power. If done, she'll fully transform. Her only defense is triggering a massive explosion, but her soul will collapse," the Ice Emperor explained.
Huo Yuhao frowned, realizing the destructive potential—it could obliterate the area. This Soul Beast was far stronger than anyone imagined—sixty-nine thousand-year peak.
"Attack."
The six humans struck like hunting leopards. Five formed a massive sealing net of soul force; Hu Yaozong used the Sealing God Platform to trap the Snow Emperor.
The Snow Emperor could not resist. The white mist shrank rapidly, eventually becoming basketball-sized. Her soul began to disperse under the powerful seal. This was why few Soul Beasts chose the human path—the initial phase left them extremely weak.
"Yaozong." Xu Shengzu ordered.
Hu Yaozong quickly maneuvered the Sealing God Platform, drawing in the Snow Emperor.
Just as he was about to close it, a furious roar erupted, shaking the area like a catastrophic blizzard.
The six humans braced themselves. The Sealing God Platform froze on the surface, unable to close.
Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe looked down and saw a thirty-meter-tall bear-like Soul Beast emerge, running with incredible speed. Ice armor covered it, and its fur shimmered silver.
"Xiao Bai is here, Yuhao." The Ice Emperor's joyful voice rang out.
Huo Yuhao's eyebrows rose—rescue timing was perfect.
"Let them fight, I'll handle it."
