Chapter 84: Snow Empress Order

The Snow Empress looked at the Ice God Pearl, her vermilion lips parting slightly, "Strictly speaking, this divine artifact wasn't discovered by me; it was discovered by two Titled Douluo who came to the Extreme North for research. They wanted to take it away at the time, and a fight almost broke out. As a result, after the two touched the Ice God Pearl, they were invaded by the cold current within, which attacked their hearts and they died. I only picked up a bargain."

An ownerless divine artifact, merely because of a touch, instantly killed two Titled Douluo; strictly speaking, this divine artifact is quite overbearing — ordinary people truly cannot accept it.

But Huo Yuhao didn't find it strange.

The Ice God Pearl's own energy is extremely pure, the purest ice attribute. The surrounding temperature stays between minus two hundred degrees and minus two hundred thirty-seven degrees year-round.

And for the Ultimate Ice attribute, a temperature below minus one hundred fifty degrees can be called Ultimate; the temperature around the Ice God Pearl is far lower than this value. Judging by this, the core energy inside, even if not Absolute Zero, is not far off.

Moreover, in Huo Yuhao's memory, the intensity of the ice attribute energy inside the Ice God Pearl is sufficient to serve as the core of a God-Killing Grade Soul Cannon Shell; instantly killing two Titled Douluo is nothing much.

At least it's better than the original nine Titled Douluo who died because of it...

The Snow Empress continued, "After researchers' speculation, the Ice God Pearl can be used to manufacture a Twelfth-level God-Killing Grade Soul Cannon Shell. It's just that this divine artifact's internal energy fundamentally cannot be mobilized through any soul tool or soul tool formation, so it was confirmed as impossible."

"However, even not counting this aspect's function, it is also an undisputed divine artifact; the energy within is purely ice attribute, the most suitable divine artifact for you."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, subconsciously wanting to take something out.

But before Huo Yuhao could act, a slender, fair palm lightly pressed on his wrist.

The Snow Empress looked at him calmly; the smile that had always existed since they met disappeared. Without using any power, she inexplicably gave off a sense of pressure.

"Reunited after a long separation, don't be so distant. I have no use for it; although I don't know why you re-cultivated, whether for protection or to improve yourself, the Ice God Pearl is extremely compatible with you. Accept it!"

The last two words, the Snow Empress's voice was a bit heavier.

Huo Yuhao's movement was forced to stop; thinking of what the Snow Empress had just said, his expression was subtle.

Can't return the courtesy... eh, I already owed a lot originally; if it's like this from now on, wouldn't I owe more and more?

"Yuhao, accept it." The Ice Empress glanced at the Snow Empress, gazing at each other with her, and transmitted her voice from the side: "Reunited after ten thousand years, Xue Er is in a very good mood today; don't make her angry."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and put the Ice God Pearl away.

Not accepting it felt like he'd get beaten up, and a group beating at that — the kind where he couldn't fight back... Moreover, with the Snow Empress's current cultivation, there really wasn't anything in his hands that could give her a significant improvement.

He had to find a gift the other party couldn't refuse.

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao communicated with the Divine Throne for an instant, "I passed the assessment; can I transfer the usage rights?"

Eternal Lord: "..."

You still want to give the Divine Throne as a gift?

Dream on!

On the other side, the Snow Empress withdrew her palm; the expression on her face became gentle again, as if remembering something, she softly said, "If you feel bad about it, how about giving me that Eternal Tower you manufactured?"

Huo Yuhao returned to his senses and shook his head, "That was originally a contingency, a trump card for your protection."

The Eternal Tower was the last soul tool he manufactured ten thousand years ago; the trump card he left for the Snow Empress was a Ten Level Soul Tool; as for materials, mainly the Ice God Crystal unearthed from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave.

The Ice God Crystal is the hardest ice attribute metal, and also the most flexible ice attribute metal. It looks like a crystal, but its body already possesses the ductility of metal; it is a top-tier Rare Metal.

Some Ice God Crystals possess Ice Spirits, having intelligence and life; they can be called innate Soul Forged Metals. Ten thousand years ago, they were already first-rate good materials, originally to be forged into the Ice Extreme War God Armor, but Huo Yuhao didn't use them that way.

Ice Extreme War God Armor... in terms of Battle Armor, it could at most count as Three-Word Battle Armor, and it was still Battle Armor that couldn't self-nurture and would automatically scrap upon reaching God Rank. Rather than using them like that, it was better to keep those Ice God Crystals with Ice Spirits and use them after Battle Armor technology matured further.

Huo Yuhao only took some Ice God Crystals with Ice Spirits, using a Tenth-level Soul Tool Formation, Bright Necromancy, and Spatial Power to manufacture the Eternal Tower and an Ice Extreme God Sword. The other Ice God Crystals were partly in his hands, partly left for the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress's Battle Armor should have incorporated Ice God Crystals.

The Eternal Tower's function... its strongest point is that it can trigger the backdoor he set up inside the Spirit Soul, preventing the Spirit Pagoda from becoming like its original form and attacking the Snow Empress.

Although once the Eternal Tower is used, exposing the hidden danger of the Spirit Soul Contract, the Spirit Pagoda might disband. But compared to the Spirit Pagoda's continuation, the Snow Empress is more important; as long as she is safe...

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Snow Empress said gently, "That belongs to you; without a legitimate claim, it's not mine."

The Spirit Pagoda in the Extreme North is strictly speaking the Spirit Pagoda's place of origin; that was the initial Headquarters; the Mingdu Headquarters was established later.

The backdoors Huo Yuhao and I Lao left were mostly inside the Extreme North Spirit Pagoda; they were both left to protect her and places to accumulate foundation...

"You just said I was being polite; aren't you the same now?" Huo Yuhao smiled, "All the arrangements in the Extreme North are not only mine, they equally belong to you."

The Snow Empress's eyes rippled, the corners of her mouth curved up, and she changed the subject, "Speaking of arrangements, do you want to follow me back to the Extreme North to see them?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No, let's wait until the promised time arrives. Going to see them now, I can't do anything."

The Snow Empress lightly nodded, a trace of amusement in her eyes.

"Then it's time for you to pay respects to your master, Yuhao."

She saw that Yuhao's other purpose was to give him a High-ranking Official Disciple identity, making it easier for him to act in the future.

The current Spirit Pagoda is not a one-man show by a certain faction; as for Di Tian's side, the Snow Empress also didn't know what he was thinking.

If Huo Yuhao rashly restored his identity, he might encounter trouble; waiting until he reaches a certain strength, then returning with the First Generation Tower Master identity is the best choice.

Before that, she just needs to give Huo Yuhao some cover; anyway, the two indeed have a master-disciple bond, and she even taught Yuhao two moves of the Snow Empress Three Absolutes; they just hadn't formalized the master-disciple status.

"..."

Huo Yuhao didn't refuse, stood up, walked before the Snow Empress, and performed a bow.

"Master is above; please accept this disciple's bow."

Clearly a very solemn action, but in the Snow Empress's eyes, it felt somewhat amusing.

Huo Yuhao re-cultivated; now he looks like a child, so looking this solemn is very weird.

However, this appearance of Yuhao is somewhat similar to when we first met ten thousand years ago...

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the Snow Empress's eyes.

"Rise; it's just for cover, don't be so solemn. Ten thousand years ago we didn't formalize the status; today I don't want to accept the Spirit Pagoda's First Generation Tower Master as a disciple; I can't teach you anything now either."

As her words fell, the Snow Empress rose and came before Huo Yuhao, a finger tapping on his forehead.

The Snow Empress's finger was cold as jade; the moment it touched Huo Yuhao's forehead, a stream of extreme cold aura seeped into his body through his skin.

That coldness wasn't bone-piercing; on the contrary, it carried a strange gentleness, like a ray of warm sun in ice and snow. Her fingertip trembled slightly; ice-blue light bloomed at Huo Yuhao's forehead, leaving a snowflake-shaped pattern that gradually faded into the interior of Huo Yuhao's skin.

"What I can give you is only the Snow Empress Order; when you encounter danger, use Spatial Power to transmit power to protect you."
