So that is how things are. Now I understand. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke with a small sigh. It sounded a bit sarcastic as it continued. Wow, you really are a brat. You have calculated everything so deeply. But this is actually a good thing. It is better to move now so that delays do not cause us any trouble later. You are right! Speaking of our trip, let us talk about the Extreme North Land!
The voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was full of pride and a desire to show off. It spoke loudly. Your big brother has already thought everything through for you! Our target is not just any ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. I am going to find you one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North.
We are looking for the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. She has the power of ultimate ice and controls the extreme cold of the frozen north. She is my beloved Bingbing! Its voice was filled with deep affection for the Ice Empress and a bit of flattery.
Tang Chen heard all of this while he was moving quickly through the trees. He raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke back in his mind. The Ice Empress? That sounds good.
However, I heard that the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North is the Snow Empress. Why don't we choose her instead? Her strength should be much greater, right?
What? The Snow Empress? The voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rose instantly. It was filled with horror and total disbelief. It sounded as if it had just heard something completely impossible. You actually dare to look at the Snow Empress? Kid, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?
Why not? Tang Chen asked. His confusion grew deeper as he spoke. Since we are choosing a beast for my spirit, we should naturally choose the strongest one available.
Strong is strong, but you have to be alive to enjoy that power! The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke seriously now. Its voice carried a lot of fear. I will tell you why it is absolutely impossible for us to do this. First, the gap in strength is just too big.
The Snow Empress is a spirit nurtured by the heaven and the earth itself.
She has a cultivation base that is close to seven hundred thousand years! She is the true core and the ruler of the Extreme North Land.
Her power level is far beyond what your body can endure right now. Even if I use my million year foundation to help you, the chance of success is very small. If something goes wrong, both of us will be turned into ice dregs. Our souls will perish forever!
The worm paused for a moment to let the warning sink in. Then it continued to explain the situation. Second, we have to think about attributes and compatibility. The Ice Empress is the leader of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.
Her ultimate ice attribute is very strong, but its power is concentrated. There is still a chance to make it work with my spiritual attribute and your Blue Silver Emperor life attribute.
But the Snow Empress is different. She is the incarnation of the rules of ice and snow. Her power is too vast. Her origin does not tolerate any other types of power. Trying to fuse with her would likely lead to a terrible accident!
Finally, and this is the most important part. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded helpless and very worried. We might be able to talk to the Ice Empress. She and I are old acquaintances. Even though she always tries to catch me and eat me, we know each other well. I know her weaknesses and what she wants. But the Snow Empress is different. Her personality is unpredictable and her majesty is boundless. It is impossible for us to even talk to her.
We do not have the right to negotiate with an existence like her! So, our target must be the Ice Empress. This is the only way that will work. With me here, I promise to help you bring Bingbing over. We will create an incredibly powerful ultimate ice spirit for you!
After listening to the explanation from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Tang Chen understood the risks. He knew the Snow Empress was powerful, but she was like a dream that was too far away to touch. The risks were much higher than the rewards. The Ice Empress was the realistic choice for them right now.
No, I will choose the Snow Empress. Even though he understood everything the worm said, Tang Chen still made his choice. He spoke very seriously.
Why? The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded like it was about to cry. Are you blinded by power? The Snow Empress is not someone we can go after right now!
Risk and reward go together. Tang Chen looked ahead with a deep gaze. It was as if he could already see the kingdom of ice and snow. He smiled and spoke. The Ice Empress is good, but the origin of the Snow Empress is much more powerful. Her potential is higher. Since I am going to create a second spirit, I want the very best. As for talking to her, I have my own way to make it work.
Your own way? The worm sounded like it was listening to a joke. What way could you possibly have? That is the Snow Empress! She is the Lord of the Extreme North. She is an existence that even the Great Di Tian would not want to provoke in her home. What will you use to talk to her? Will you use logic? Or are you planning to fight her with that ring explosion technique you haven't mastered yet? It felt like Tang Chen was just dreaming.
Tang Chen did not explain any further. He simply repeated himself in a calm voice. My mind is made up. The target is the Snow Empress.
His calm attitude made the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm realize this was not a sudden thought. Tang Chen had considered it carefully. Even though the worm did not understand the method, Tang Chen had done many amazing things before.
You are crazy. Truly crazy! The worm sighed in a helpless way. Fine, I will go crazy with you one more time. But we must agree on one thing. If things go wrong, we must save our lives first. We will run away immediately.
Don't worry. Tang Chen smiled slightly. I never do anything unless I am certain of the result.
A moment later, the boy and the silkworm moved faster toward the frozen land. They had a clear goal now. As they moved through the forest like lightning, a golden figure appeared on a tree branch ahead. It was Xiao Ruier, and she was blocking the path. She had a bright glow around her and a peaceful aura. Tang Chen stopped suddenly and landed on the ground. He was surprised to see her. Ruier? Why are you here?
Xiao Ruier jumped down from the tree. She moved gracefully and appeared in front of him. She looked worried as she spoke. I felt you leave the center of the forest. Your energy felt like you were in a hurry. Where are you going? Is something wrong?
Tang Chen looked into her eyes and told her the truth. I am going to the Extreme North Land to get my second spirit. This trip might be dangerous, so you should stay here.
I am going with you! Xiao Ruier said immediately.
No. Tang Chen shook his head and refused. The weather there is very harsh and there are many powerful enemies we don't know about. I cannot let you take that risk.
Let me go with you! Xiao Ruier stepped forward and looked at him earnestly. Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Emperor Auspicious Beast. I carry the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest and the whole spirit beast race. My existence brings peace and good luck.
If I go with you, I can help you when things get difficult. Also, I believe the spirit beasts in the north will not harm me because of my status. My identity is like a protective shield. Having one more person with you makes things safer.
Tang Chen looked at her. He saw how much she cared for him. He thought about her special identity as an Auspicious Beast. It was true that she held a very high status in the world of spirit beasts. She could help avoid many fights. Fine. He finally nodded and his voice became softer. We will go together. But you must be very careful and stay close to me at all times.
Xiao Ruier smiled brightly and nodded. She put two fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. The sound went through the whole forest. A moment later, a loud thumping sound came from the trees. A huge red creature that looked like fire ran toward them.
It was the Red King, a powerful Vicious Beast. It had three heads and it rubbed them against her.
Let's go. Xiao Ruier jumped onto the back of the Red King. she reached out her hand to Tang Chen. He took her hand and jumped up to sit behind her. We are leaving! Our target is the Extreme North Land! Xiao Ruier patted the neck of the giant beast.
The Red King let out a loud roar and sparks flew from its feet. It turned into a red streak of light as it ran toward the north. They were heading into the world of eternal ice and snow.
