Chapter 20: Isn't This Nice?
Holding Du Qianjue's hand, the Snow Empress felt a bit awkward, her face turning slightly red. She was the ruler of the Extreme North, but she had never been this close to a man before.
In Du Qianjue's spiritual sea, the Skydream Iceworm couldn't help but feel restless, its plump body inching closer to the Ice Empress. But how did the Ice Empress feel right now? She felt heartbroken, having lost her beloved. The Snow Empress had always been her favorite, and now that the Snow Empress had become her chosen host's lover, she had nowhere to vent her anger. With the Skydream Iceworm adding fuel to the fire, the Ice Empress exploded in rage, using her emerald green tail to send the Skydream Iceworm flying.
"Get lost!!!" she shouted angrily, then went to sleep, trying to avoid getting too furious and potentially hurting herself.
The Skydream Iceworm let out a pitiful cry and hid at the edge of the spiritual sea, crying.
"Ice Ice... my Ice Ice! How can I live without you..."
Du Qianjue, immersed in the softness of the Snow Empress, didn't notice the domestic scene in his spiritual sea. As a snow spirit, the Snow Empress didn't feel cold; instead, she felt like warm jade. Her long silver hair, reaching her feet, emitted a refreshing fragrance.
"Ahem... have you held hands enough?" Du Bushi's voice cut in, full of jealousy.
The brat! Didn't he know how to show respect to his elders? Didn't he know that his uncle had been single for 200 years? Showing off love in front of him was too much!
The Snow Empress, startled, quickly pulled her hand away from Du Qianjue's and turned around, fiddling nervously with her fingers. Du Qianjue could only see her slightly reddened ears.
Seeing the Snow Empress's shy and adorable demeanor made Du Qianjue feel a bit dizzy. His usual calm and strategic demeanor instantly crumbled.
"Uncle, what are you doing~ Oh..." Du Qianjue looked at Du Bushi with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Don't you still need to get your spirit rings?" Du Bushi said, smacking the back of Du Qianjue's head.
"What spirit rings? I need to take my Snowy wife to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow first!" Du Qianjue blurted out.
Du Qianjue had gotten a bit carried away after the Snow Empress agreed to be with him.
"Pfft!" Du Bushi almost spat out blood, his finger trembling as he pointed at Du Qianjue.
"I'm done for; I'll have to start over with a new account!"
The Snow Empress, hearing the exchange between Du Qianjue and Du Bushi, turned around, looking serious.
"Qianjue, your priority now is to get stronger. I can hold on for a few more years. You don't need to worry about me right now, and don't feel guilty about hunting spirit beasts. If you promise to revive them after becoming a god, I can even help persuade them to sacrifice themselves for you."
Look at that!
Love makes you slow to draw your sword, but a wealthy partner can give you an even faster and sharper sword!
Isn't this nice?
"Snowy!" Du Qianjue looked at the Snow Empress with gratitude, making her blush.
"Alright, enough with the mushy stuff. What kind of spirit rings do you want next? Make up your mind quickly!" Du Bushi said impatiently.
The three of them then discussed Du Qianjue's spirit ring requirements.
For the Extreme Ice attribute, the Chaos Dragon King spirit already had one, but the original body spirit still lacked one. However, it didn't need to be an Extreme Ice attribute. Du Qianjue was already strong enough with ice attributes. The spirit rings for his body spirit didn't need to match perfectly in attribute; they just needed to amplify his overall power.
According to the Snow Empress, most of the soul beasts in the Extreme North had water and ice attributes. Other than that, only a few had wind attributes, like the Ice Crystal Frog, which had both ice and some mixed fire attributes. But those attributes weren't strong enough to be worth choosing.
So, Du Qianjue's final choices were the 300,000-year Beast King, the Ice Bear King, and the 200,000-year Beast King, the Ice Feather Cold Eagle.
The Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, was adopted by the Snow Empress and called her "Mom." Now, it might end up calling Du Qianjue "Dad" instead of "Grandpa," since the Snow Empress was Du Qianjue's wife, not daughter.
Of course, if Du Qianjue became strong enough, he might even have the Snow Empress call him "Daddy."
And the Ice Feather Cold Eagle was another hidden beast king in the Extreme North. It wasn't as strong as the Ice Bear King or the Titan Snow Demon King, but its wind attribute was almost at the extreme.
With the Snow Empress's persuasion, the Ice Bear King chose to sacrifice itself, becoming the second spirit ring for Du Qianjue's body spirit, and its spirit bone nourished the Ice Dragon King right arm bone.
The Ice Feather Cold Eagle, after careful consideration and with the assurance of the Ice and Snow Empresses, also chose to sacrifice itself, becoming the third spirit ring for Du Qianjue's body spirit, and its spirit bone nourished the Ice and Fire Dragon King spirit bone's dragon wing bone.
Ice Bear King's Second Spirit Ring:
First Spirit Skill: Bear's Strength: Continuously consumes spirit power to amplify its own spirit power and mental strength by 300%, until the spirit power is exhausted.Second Spirit Skill: Ice Roar: Releases a freezing impact, causing large-scale freezing. The ice created by the Ice Roar can be detonated.
Ice Bear King's Spirit Bone Skills:
First Skill: Ice Bear Comet Fall: Flies into the sky, condenses all ice attribute power, forms a comet, and causes large-scale damage upon impact.Second Skill: Blizzard: Creates a large-scale blizzard. The longer the charge, the higher the damage.
Ice Feather Cold Eagle's Third Spirit Ring:
First Spirit Skill: Wind Incarnation: Uses spirit power to release an incarnation with 70% of its own strength. The incarnation can use all skills except for spirit bone skills and can last for up to 15 minutes.Second Spirit Skill: Wind Absolute Kill: Selects a target and instantly creates three wind incarnations to shred the target.
Ice Feather Cold Eagle's Spirit Bone Skill:
Wind Rush: Enhances the wings with wind elements, increasing speed by 300% until spirit power is exhausted, can be actively interrupted.
After absorbing these two spirit rings, Du Qianjue's spirit power surged again, reaching the bottleneck of level 40. One more spirit ring and he would break through to the Soul Ancestor level.
Currently, Du Qianjue's body spirit already had three attributes: mental, ice, and wind. He still needed fire, light, darkness, lightning, space, and the most elusive, time.
But obtaining a time attribute was unlikely. Du Qianjue had never heard of a soul beast with a time attribute. The closest was the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, who, with its unparalleled mental power, forcefully comprehended a skill that could disrupt time, the Light of Time and Space.
However, he could consider the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator for his second spirit's mental attribute spirit ring.
"As for the lightning attribute... our body sect does worship a 50,000-year-old Thunder Prison Vine," Du Bushi murmured.
"Thunder Prison Vine?"
