"Here it is."
After making his decision, Shui Wuya leaped down without hesitation, landing in the open space.
Shui Yuanchen and the other high-ranking members of the Shui family followed closely behind, their eyes fixed intently on every move of Shui Wuya.
"Lord Patriarch, is the Ice God Temple going to be built here?" Shui Yuanchen asked.
Shui Wuya nodded and took out the model soul engine of the Ice God Temple from his storage ring.
He placed the soul engine on the ground and infused it with a surge of soul power.
The soul engine emitted a faint glow, gradually expanding until it instantly transformed into a magnificent Ice God Temple, rising from the ground.
The Ice God Temple featured unique ice sculptures, with every inch of the floor flowing with snowy patterns, exuding a sacred and ancient aura. Crystals of ice floated around the temple, as if guarding this holy place.
Under the sunlight, the Ice God Temple shone with a deep blue light, as though it had condensed the power of the Ice God.
"This is..."
Seeing the grand Ice God Temple, Shui Yuanchen and the others were left dumbfounded and deeply shocked.
Feeling the sacred aura emanating from the temple, they instinctively knelt down, expressing their reverence and faith in the Ice God.
Meanwhile, every member of the Shui family looked up at the solemn temple, their hearts filled with awe.
"This is... a miracle!"
"It's the aura of the Ice God!"
"The Ice God has manifested!"
The Shui family members were incredibly excited, kneeling and praying, grateful for the Ice God's favor and protection.
The entire Shui family was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere, all gazing up at the heavenly temple, immersed in this unexpected miracle and basking in the Ice God's radiance.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone finally reacted.
"Lord Shui, how did you accomplish this? This is nothing short of a miracle."
Shui Yuanchen asked respectfully.
Shui Wuya calmly explained, "It's nothing special. This is just a newly developed soul engine of mine."
"This Ice God Temple is actually a soul engine?" Shui Yuanchen and the others were astonished.
They were familiar with soul engines, but they had never seen one utilized to this extent.
However, when they connected this achievement to Shui Wuya , it seemed almost natural.
"Exceptional individuals can achieve greatness in any field!"
"Indeed, the Patriarch is extraordinary!"
"This soul engine is at least Level 9 or above!"
"To craft a soul engine of this caliber by hand, the Patriarch can be called the god of soul engines!"
Everyone praised Shui Wuya , their admiration growing even stronger.
"Alright, everyone, let's go inside and take a look."
Shui Wuya strode into the Ice God Temple with confidence, and Shui Yuanchen and the others followed with excitement and caution, like tourists entering a grand estate.
Inside, the Ice God Temple was lavishly decorated, with ornate beams and painted ceilings, giving it an exceptionally majestic and grand appearance.
"Lord Patriarch, this is truly a masterpiece."
"It rivals any of the divine temples."
The elders marveled at the scene, praising Shui Wuya's skill and craftsmanship.
As they reached the central area of the main hall, they were even more amazed.
Here stood a statue of the Ice God and an altar, emitting a remarkably pure fluctuation of the Ice God's power, as if it were a sacred and perfect place.
The statue of the Ice God was tall and imposing, with a solemn expression. The altar was carved with intricate and ancient patterns, covered in snow, emitting a sacred and pure aura.
"For us Shui family members, this is like a sacred place for cultivation."
The crowd exclaimed in amazement.
Seeing their excitement, Shui Wuya smiled and said, "In the future, you may come here to cultivate."
"Thank you, Lord Patriarch, for your great grace!"
Shui Yuanchen and the others expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Shui Wuya.
Boom!
Suddenly, within the Ice God Temple, a powerful surge of Ice God power erupted, causing the entire structure to tremble slightly, as if a powerful presence was about to emerge.
"What is this?"
Shui Yuanchen and the others' expressions changed.
Shui Wuya also looked surprised, his gaze fixed on the unexpected development.
As the Ice God Temple's Ice God power fluctuated, a mysterious glow began to gather and ultimately coalesced into a towering temple spirit.
This temple spirit was tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura as if it were the very embodiment of the Ice God Temple.
Its gaze was transcendent and majestic, evoking a sense of awe and trepidation.
"What is this?"
Shui Yuanchen and the others were visibly shaken by the sudden appearance of the temple spirit, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.
"Master!"
When the temple spirit saw Shui Wuya, it immediately bowed in respect, acknowledging him as its master.
As the creator of the Ice God Temple, Shui Wuya was viewed by the temple spirit as a deity, supreme and unparalleled.
Shui Wuya felt a sense of joy.
A buy-one-get-one-free surprise.
He hadn't expected such an unexpected delight.
At the same time, the Ice Phoenix also sensed the presence of the temple spirit. It stirred within Shui Wuya, eager to be released to witness the spectacle.
"Come out."
Shui Wuya smiled slightly and released the Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Phoenix emerged from Shui Wuya's body, circling around the Ice God Temple before eventually settling in front of the temple spirit.
The two soul engine spirits regarded each other in the air, exchanging glances.
It seemed as if they resonated with each other, and after some initial probing, their interaction grew more familiar.
Their presence made each other's existence less solitary.
Watching this, Shui Wuya nodded in satisfaction.
He then reflected on his own cultivation journey.
At 23 years old this year, his cultivation had reached Level 98, just two levels away from becoming a deity.
"I wonder how Shui Bing'er is doing."
Shui Wuya pondered, feeling a mix of concern and anticipation.
Ten thousand years ago.
The Eternal Life Sect held its annual meeting on Ice God Island.
This was a highly secretive meeting, open only to the formal members of the Eternal Life Sect.
At the meeting, Shui Bing'er and Qian Renxue sat on either side of the main seat, their expressions calm and solemn.
Shui Bing'er had reached Level 99, just one step away from becoming a deity, and she already exuded a divine aura.
Qian Renxue, also solemn, had completed all the divine trials and needed only to break through Level 100 to attain godhood.
Other attendees, such as Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianxin, and Ye Lengleng, although not yet having completed the divine trials, were progressing smoothly and were close to reaching Level 100.
Shui Bing'er glanced at the empty main seat, reserved for the Eternal Life Lord.
Everyone was well aware that the Eternal Life Lord, holding an exalted position, would not attend their meeting.
Leaving the seat vacant was a gesture of respect for the Eternal Life Lord.
"This meeting will be presided over by me.
Next, we will review each of your cultivation progress and assist you in becoming deities as soon as possible, thereby strengthening the Eternal Life Sect."
Her voice resonated in the meeting hall, commanding respect.
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes full of excitement.
