Chapter 228: The Fifth Trial of the Ice God
In the divine realm, inside a certain palace.
A purple-haired man angrily kicked open the palace door.
"Asura, you're becoming more and more undisciplined, interfering in the continent's affairs. What exactly are you trying to do?"
The white-haired man on the high platform flashed a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
"I'm just selecting a qualified enforcer for the divine realm, it won't happen again."
"Hmph, you better keep your word."
With a cold snort, the purple-haired man left the hall, leaving the gloomy-faced Asura behind.
After bidding farewell to these two old friends, Ning Bei headed straight for the Soul Hall's Holy Mountain. Arriving at the gates of the Angel God Temple, he knocked on the tightly closed stone doors.
A few seconds later, the massive stone door creaked open.
Stepping inside, Ning Bei once again saw Qian Daoliu's stern face.
"Grandpa Qian, the Soul Master Tournament has ended. I've come to say goodbye to Xue'er."
"Oh? You're not planning to return to the Tiandou Empire?"
Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. According to what he expected, Ning Bei should have been planning to return to Tiandou Empire with his granddaughter. Now, he was here to say goodbye, indicating there was another purpose.
"Exactly, the fifth trial of the Ice God hasn't been triggered yet, so I plan to head to the extreme north."
"I see, wait here for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu understood and nodded before leaving the hall.
After a while, the little angel rushed out, and upon seeing her man, she quickly ran up to him, jumping into his arms.
Qian Daoliu, knowing the situation, wisely didn't interrupt, giving the young couple time to say their goodbyes.
"You bad guy, it's been so long and you didn't come to see me."
"How was I supposed to know you'd skip the entire tournament?"
"Hmph, I see you've just forgotten about me!"
After holding her in his arms and comforting her for a while, he finally calmed down the upset woman.
"By the way, what have you been doing during this time? Have you been staying here at the offering hall?"
"Yes, Grandpa taught me some sword techniques and the application of the Angel Clan's soul skills."
Ning Bei nodded. In his mind, it made sense. How old was the little angel when she left Soul Hall? Back then, some of the skills might have been inconvenient to teach her, so it was understandable.
After the Soul Master Tournament, the little angel had to return to Tiandou Empire to continue her undercover work. So, it was logical that she would take this time to catch up on her training.
"Are you planning to return to Tiandou now? I just finished my training too. We can travel together when the time comes."
Ning Bei pictured some scenes in his mind and quickly shook his head.
The image of Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan pulling each other's hair in the carriage made him shudder.
"Huh? Then where are you going?"
"I plan to head to the extreme north. After dealing with the old men, my fifth trial still hasn't appeared!"
"Really? Do you need to hurry so much?"
A faint sense of disappointment flashed in the little angel's eyes. They had just reunited after a month apart, but now they were going to be separated again for an unknown period of time. It was truly cruel.
Ning Bei chuckled and reached out to rub her golden hair.
"There's nothing I can do. That kid from the Tang family's situation has changed. I need to complete my divine trial quickly so I can handle what's coming next."
"Huh? What happened to Tang San?"
With a puzzled look, Qian Renxue listened intently as Ning Bei recounted the foolish actions of her mother. She nearly became angry herself.
"She's useless! The best at pulling people down!"
"If she did nothing, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
For a moment, even the little angel felt a strange sense of urgency, as the pressure of the God of Asura's position was immense.
"Alright, since the situation has already happened, stop thinking about what could have been. The right way is to focus on getting stronger."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's anger dissipated, and she nodded.
"You're right. It seems that when I return to Tiandou Empire, I should start some plans ahead of time."
"Yeah, do as you think is best."
Ning Bei nodded in support of Qian Renxue's decision. After all, it was better to finish things quickly and return to the Angel God Temple to undergo the divine trial.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Bei summoned Yao Yao and A Zhu.
The two beasts, who had just appeared, felt the sacred and solemn atmosphere around them and furrowed their brows.
"Big brother!"
"Ning Bei, why did you call us?"
Yao Yao now had nearly 200,000 years of cultivation, and A Zhu wasn't far behind, with over 150,000 years of cultivation.
To help the little angel act more effectively, Ning Bei decided to send two more fighters.
"This is my girlfriend, Qian Renxue. I have to go out for a while. While I'm gone, listen to her."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up as she curiously sized up the two bodyguards Ning Bei had arranged for her.
Meanwhile, A Zhu and Yao Yao frowned slightly. They were willing to take orders from Ning Bei because of the food and lodging he provided. This woman…
Ning Bei, noticing their displeasure, quickly made them an offer.
"When I return, I'll arrange for the Ninth Floor of the Pill Tower to help you break through to 200,000 years of cultivation."
"With no heavenly tribulation, of course!"
A Zhu and Yao Yao both smirked. "Is that what you think? Do you really think we're that easily fooled?"
"Sister-in-law, hello, I'm A Zhu, the human-faced spider queen! Please take care of me."
"Sister-in-law, hello, I'm Yao Yao, the demon-eyed magic tree! Please take care of me."
Qian Renxue was amused by the sudden change in attitude and covered her mouth, giggling.
"Hello, just call me Xue'er!"
Ning Bei's lips twitched. He didn't expect these two to be just like Da Ming. He thought only Da Ming was this shameless.
"Alright, it's settled then. You two go back to Tiandou Empire with Xue'er. I'll take care of the divine trial and return soon."
After saying goodbye to the little angel, Ning Bei returned to the hotel.
After resting for a night with Dugu Yan, he bid farewell to the main group and headed straight for the extreme north.
On the way, voices from Tian Meng and the others rang in his mind.
"Lord Ice God, are you planning to find the opportunity for your fifth divine trial in the extreme north?"
"Yeah, I don't know if it will work, but it's more reliable than staying at the sect and doing nothing."
Xue Di glared at Tian Meng coldly before looking at Ning Bei with approval.
"That's true. The opportunity for the divine trial might very well be in the extreme north."
Since he was flying directly, he didn't take the carriage as he had before.
After a whole day's journey, Ning Bei crossed half the continent and reached the edge of the extreme north.
Just as he landed, before he could communicate with the three in his spiritual sea, a familiar voice rang in his mind.
"The Fifth Trial of the Ice God: The Recognition of the Divine Artifact. Search for the Ice Snow Divine Artifact in the extreme north and gain its recognition."
Tian Meng, seeing Ning Bei lost in thought, seemed to understand something and immediately asked excitedly when he came to his senses.
"Ning Bei, did you receive the information about the divine trial?"
"Boom!"
This time, there was no need for Xue Di to act. The green-haired little loli punched the fat worm into the corner of the spiritual sea. Then, she looked at Ning Bei with her big sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
"Correct. We need to find the Ice Snow Divine Artifact in the extreme north and gain its recognition. You've been in the extreme north for so many years. Have you sensed where the divine artifact might be?"
"This…"
