"Dean, I'd like to request some time off," Yan Shaozhe spoke up again as he accompanied Shui Wuya back to their dormitory.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was somewhat surprised, but he quickly adjusted, as it wasn't the first time Shui Wuya had requested time off.
"Remember to return promptly, and you don't need to worry about Mu Lao's side," Yan Shaozhe agreed to Shui Wuya's request.
"Thank you, Dean," Shui Wuya nodded.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Shui Wuya informed Han Feng, and within half an hour, the two of them left Shrek Academy.
This time, Xu Sanshi was participating in the Soul Master Competition, so they were spared any unnecessary explanations.
After leaving Shrek Academy, the two of them headed straight for the edge city in the Extreme north.
In Shui Wuya's memory, the Ice Turtle clan lived on the side near the Sun Moon Empire, where glaciers and oceans met.
They traveled northward towards the extreme north, then planned to take a ship from the edge city deep into the ocean. That way, they would likely find the Ice Turtle clan's habitat.
Of course, this was only the best-case scenario in Shui Wuya's imagination. What would actually happen remained unknown to him.
Over the next dozen days, Shui Wuya and Han Feng encountered no obstacles along the way.
First, they successfully reached a city on the northern edge. Then, they hired a large ship and set sail.
Finally, on a windy morning, Shui Wuya's gaze fell upon the sight of glaciers merging with the sea.
"Master, this is it!" Han Feng exclaimed excitedly, as he also remembered the Ice Turtle clan and knew of their strength.
If Shui Wuya could regain control of the Ice Turtle clan, the Shui family's power would undoubtedly soar.
Shui Wuya looked at the glaciers and ocean ahead with a calm gaze.
"Dream, help me search beneath the ocean to see if there are any members of the Ice Turtle clan." Shui Wuya's thoughts called out to the Dream Ice Silkworm.
In the next moment, a white light shot out from Shui Wuya's forehead, quickly transforming into the appearance of the Dream Ice Silkworm.
"You only remember to call for my help when you need it, huh?" The Dream Ice Silkworm still had the appearance of a little girl, with her hands on her hips.
Shui Wuya glanced at the Dream Ice Silkworm, his gaze deep, but he remained silent.
"Alright, alright, I'll help since you asked." Feeling an invisible pressure, the Dream Ice Silkworm stopped hesitating and immediately released her powerful spiritual power, descending upon the entire sea area!
Time passed moment by moment.
After about two or three minutes, the Dream Ice Silkworm stopped releasing her spiritual power.
"There's nothing beneath this ocean, but there's a strange group heading east on the ice surface." The Dream Ice Silkworm looked towards the eastern sea, her face showing a curious expression.
"A strange group?" Shui Wuya was puzzled. Could it be another group from the Sun Moon Empire?
To the east of this sea is the Sun Moon Empire.
Previously, the team from the Sun Moon Empire that Shui Wuya encountered in the extreme north had crossed over from the ice surface.
"Let's go check it out." Shui Wuya made a decision. Since there was nothing beneath this ocean, there was no need to continue wasting time.
Shui Wuya and Han Feng disembarked from the ship and proceeded along the border between the glacier and the ocean.
After a few minutes, as they climbed over a small snowy mountain, they finally saw the "strange group" mentioned by the Dream Ice Silkworm.
It turned out to be a massive army from the Sun Moon Empire!
Shui Wuya glanced over and estimated there were about twenty to thirty thousand people, all clad in heavy armor and carrying many large siege weapons.
Fortunately, their position was behind a snowy mountain, so they had not been discovered by the Sun Moon Empire's army.
Shui Wuya raised an eyebrow. Judging from the Sun Moon Empire's marching direction, crossing the glaciers of the extreme north would lead them to the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
So, this Sun Moon Empire army clearly intended to launch a surprise attack on the Star Luo Empire!
Interesting.
After a brief moment of thought, Shui Wuya had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
He actually hoped that the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire would go to war. Perhaps he could profit from it.
However, not finding any trace of the Ice Turtle clan made him somewhat anxious.
Could it be that the Ice Turtle clan had already migrated?
As Shui Wuya pondered, he considered that during the divine descent event over a decade ago targeting the ultimate families, it's possible that the Ice Turtle clan suffered in that great battle.
However, one thing was certain: the Ice Turtle clan definitely did not live on the side near the Star Luo Empire.
After all, they had traveled by ship all the way here and hadn't found a trace of the Ice Turtle clan.
After some thought, Shui Wuya decided to continue along the surface of the ocean's ice. Perhaps, upon reaching the Sun Moon Empire, he might find traces of the Ice Turtle clan.
As the temperature dropped, Shui Wuya had Dream Ice Silkworm continuously search for the Ice Turtle clan beneath the ocean.
After nearly fifteen minutes passed, suddenly, the Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed, "Hey, there's a plant down there, do you want it?"
Shui Wuya had come to understand the Dream Ice Silkworm's way of speaking by now. She couldn't distinguish urgency but anything she mentioned was usually significant.
"Ice Emperor, go take a look," Shui Wuya commanded, summoning the Ice Emperor.
In an instant, the Ice Emperor materialized from Shui Wuya's forehead, releasing a cold light as he shattered the ice layer and dove into the sea.
After several dozen breaths, the Ice Emperor emerged from the sea, the seawater evaporating from his body, holding a plant emitting a blue glow in his hand.
"Huh? Ten Thousand-Year Ice Spirit Grass?" Octagon seemed to sense something and immediately emerged from Shui Wuya's spiritual world, appearing on the Ice Emperor's shoulder.
The Ice Emperor tossed the spirit grass directly into Shui Wuya's hand.
Shui Wuya was momentarily puzzled. He wasn't sure what this spirit grass was for.
"This is the Ten Thousand-Year Ice Spirit Grass. It lives in the depths of the sea at extremely low temperatures. When consumed by human soul masters, it greatly enhances their spiritual power," the Ice Emperor suddenly spoke, answering Shui Wuya's doubts.
However, under the current circumstances, it wasn't suitable to consume it directly, so Shui Wuya stored the Ten Thousand-Year Ice Spirit Grass away.
Shui Wuya's actions were observed by Han Feng, who felt a sense of strangeness but didn't ask.
Until now, as long as others were present, Shui Wuya had never revealed the true forms of his three soul spirits.
"What should we do now, Young Master?" Han Feng asked after a moment.
"Keep moving forward," Shui Wuya responded without hesitation.
