Chapter 348: Snow Empress Tribulation Crossing! Heavenly Tribulation Reappears!
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress chatted while Ye Feng used his own blood to ripen the snow lotus.
Unlike ripening "Yin," Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, originally possessing the life attribute, and with the foundation of a soul beast already in place, it was easy to ripen to over ten thousand years.
But this snow lotus grew slowly by nature, basically relying on time to slowly grind it out.
Even though Ye Feng used blood to accelerate it, the effect was only about one-tenth of that for the Blue Silver Emperor.
Fortunately, it was only ripening to a thousand years; although difficult, it was not impossible.
To increase the ripening effect, Ye Feng simply forced out the essence blood he had condensed within his body earlier, letting the snow lotus absorb it.
"Hum—"
As the snow lotus absorbed Ye Feng's essence blood, terrifying life force surged into it, directly making it dizzy, its stems and leaves continuously swaying left and right, as if drunk.
The other party's age limit also rose rapidly, increasing by three hundred years in a short moment.
"What a pit, asking me for three drops of essence blood..."
Ye Feng sensed the other party's age limit, immediately curled his lips, feeling somewhat speechless.
Fortunately, during this period he had also accumulated quite a bit of essence blood, three drops then three drops.
Ye Feng hesitated not, forcing out two more drops of essence blood to nourish it again.
The snow lotus's roots began to swell wildly, even breaking through the ground, wanting to absorb more fresh blood.
Its age limit was also rising rapidly.
Finally, after absorbing three drops of essence blood plus dozens of drops of ordinary blood, the snow lotus's age limit finally reached the limit of one hundred thousand years!
"One hundred thousand years!!"
"Isn't this too fast!"
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress abruptly looked toward the snow lotus, faces full of shock!
And at the moment the snow lotus broke through one hundred thousand years, the entire snow lotus instantly emitted a soft ice-blue radiance, illuminating the whole Ice Fortress.
Layer upon layer of lotus petals unfolded like crystal folding fans, the twelve outer petals crystal clear as if carved from thousand-year profound ice, while the nine newly bloomed inner petals shimmered with mother-of-pearl-like iridescence.
The originally bowl-sized flower bud now bloomed like an ice jade millstone, cold mist rising from the lotus platform, condensing into nine mist rings in midair.
Although it only increased by one thousand years, the entire snow lotus underwent earth-shaking changes, its medicinal efficacy enhanced by at least ten times!
Even vaguely, Ye Feng could sense that this snow lotus seemed to begin nurturing spiritual intelligence, transforming toward the direction of a soul beast.
But transforming into a soul beast, the medicinal power would not increase, merely adding an automatic cultivation ability, slightly speeding up growth—useless.
Still unable to escape the fate of being eaten.
"Snow Empress, today is an auspicious day; why don't you start your tribulation now? If successful, great; if not, this snow lotus should barely allow you to force transformation into human form. Fortunately, both I and the Ice Empress are here, and can protect you completely."
Ye Feng looked at the Snow Empress and actively proposed.
"Good! Thank you..."
The Snow Empress remained silent for a moment, slightly nodding to Ye Feng.
Obviously, Ye Feng's series of actions had completely persuaded her.
This kind of snow lotus blooms once every ten thousand years; the snow lotus has just bloomed, which can be said to be when its medicinal efficacy is strongest.
The next time would require waiting ten thousand years; although the efficacy might be stronger, no one knows what changes might occur in those ten thousand years.
Moreover, she actually now somewhat believed what Ye Feng had said earlier about "seeing the future."
Failing the tribulation ten thousand years later, force transforming and then being captured by someone—just thinking of that scene made her want to die, something she absolutely could not accept.
Better to make one gamble; even if it failed, it was no great loss, at most force transforming, and she could keep the Ice Empress company.
This result was actually the one she could most accept right now.
And if luck was good, if she could successfully pass the tribulation, she would gain an extra hundred thousand years of lifespan for nothing, and her combat power could even advance further!
"Then I wish the Snow Empress success in passing the tribulation~"
Ye Feng smiled slightly, then gently reached out, directly picking that snow lotus, and slowly handed it to the Snow Empress.
By logic, picking such a treasure requires specially made jade treasures, like Tang San's Profound Jade Hand, to avoid pollution.
But Ye Feng possessed 【Child of Nature】, plus his own cultivation, long able to achieve dustless and spotless, naturally there would be no pollution at all.
The Snow Empress looked at the snow lotus in Ye Feng's hand, her expression somewhat complex.
After a moment of silence, she finally extended her slender jade hand and gently took it.
"I need a few days to prepare, raising my cultivation to its peak. The Ice Empress during this period is entrusted to you."
The Snow Empress put away the snow lotus, then gently pushed the Ice Empress toward Ye Feng, her tone solemn, even carrying the meaning of entrusting an orphan.
After all, passing the tribulation ultimately carries risk.
Although Ye Feng said it lightly, only she herself knew the crisis within; one careless move, and she might very well perish body and soul, without even the chance to force transform.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone harm the Ice Empress."
Ye Feng pulled the Ice Empress over, gently patting her head.
The Ice Empress subconsciously tiptoed, wanting Ye Feng to pat more comfortably, while also feeling an inexplicable sense of reassurance in her heart.
When she was one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the North Pole, only she took care of others, never needing anyone else's care.
But since transforming, she inexplicably enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of and doted on.
The Snow Empress gave more instructions, then turned and entered the Ice Fortress behind her alone.
"Crack crack crack—"
Thick ice layers instantly spread, completely sealing the entire Ice Fortress.
At the same time, an ultimate cold spread out, sweeping across dozens of li in all directions!
Obviously, this was the Snow Empress conducting her final cultivation.
After all, the Snow Empress's cultivation had also been compressed; this could greatly delay the arrival of the Great Calamity.
Now that she wanted to pass the tribulation, naturally she released her cultivation, letting out all the cultivation accumulated within her body, reaching her peak moment!
Only thus could he survive the heavenly tribulation to the maximum possible extent.
"Ye Feng, you say Snow Emperor... will she succeed?"
Ice Emperor tightly gripped Ye Feng's hand; although it was not her tribulation, she seemed very nervous, clearly worried for Snow Emperor.
"I'm not sure, but transformation is definitely no problem."
Ye Feng said affirmatively.
After mastering the Eye of Destiny, Ye Feng could, through a person's Fate Threads, judge their fortune or misfortune over the coming period, even whether they would die.
Previously he had seen Snow Emperor's Fate Threads; although there were great ill omens and signs of bloody calamity, there was no danger to her life.
Although accuracy was not 100%, 99.99999% was certain.
"Then that's good."
Hearing this, Ice Emperor inexplicably felt much more reassured.
Whatever Ye Feng said, she would believe.
"Alright, let's find a place to stay and wait for Ice Emperor to undergo tribulation."
Ye Feng pulled Ice Emperor, quickly retreated a hundred kilometers, found a place at random, casually built a small Ice Fortress, and settled Ice Emperor there.
Ye Feng could not go too far; after all, he still wanted to touch Snow Emperor's heavenly tribulation and see if he could gain some benefits from it.
