Chapter 10: Snow Emperor's Guidance and Gift, Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus

The road to god-making is long and endless, but neither Shu Yan nor the Snow Emperor is an impatient person. The two discussed this matter for a long, long time, and finally reached a consensus.

Perhaps it was because the path ahead was clear, the words between the two gradually increased, and the Snow Emperor slowly began to personally guide Shu Yan's cultivation. Her cultivation was infinitely close to seven hundred thousand years, and her body was the Ice Sky Snow Maiden. If one were to ask who in the world is most qualified to guide Shu Yan, it could only be her.

The Snow Emperor's guidance was indeed very useful. Many places that were once blurry and unclear were cleared away in the Snow Emperor's few words of guidance. Enjoying the full-day guidance of a powerhouse whose strength is equal to a human Limit Douluo, I am afraid that in the whole world, only Shu Yan has this treatment.

Under the Snow Emperor's almost nanny-like guidance, in the sixth month of the Extreme North Land, Shu Yan's soul power officially reached level 45. A thirteen-year-old Soul Ancestor is rare in the world. I am afraid that even the Black and White Dual Saint Dragons who once dominated the continent did not achieve as much at this age.

After Shu Yan decided to continue to cultivate quietly in the Extreme North Land for a period of time, the Snow Emperor brought another precious gift to Shu Yan.

This is a lotus-shaped plant that emits a faint ice-blue light all over its body. Its leaves are like transparent ice crystals, with gorgeous flowing light inside. The moment it appeared, the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be a bit richer, and the air emitted a faint fragrance, making people feel refreshed.

Shu Yan's pupils shrank, and then said: "This is...?"

A faint smile appeared on the Snow Emperor's cold face. She looked at this pure snow lotus and said softly:

"You also felt it. This is a ten-thousand-year snow lotus, which I obtained by chance. I originally prepared to use this ten-thousand-year snow lotus as a guide to complete the seal on my own origin, but now, that path has been abandoned by me. This snow lotus naturally lost its effect. Now, giving it to you can be considered letting it play its final role."

After a pause, the Snow Emperor added: "The snow lotus itself is a top-grade plant-type soul beast, but it is very difficult to open its wisdom. Even if it has cultivated to the ten-thousand-year level now, its wisdom is still as weak as an ordinary hundred-year soul beast. But precisely because of this, the heaven and earth essence possessed by the snow lotus is purer and more massive than other soul beasts of the same kind. The energy it contains is even enough to make one reborn, like a new life. Although the heaven and earth essence and energy in this snow lotus have been absorbed by me, judging from the remaining heaven and earth essence and energy, it is enough to make you produce a transformation and significantly improve your soul power level."

Shu Yan took the snow lotus from the Snow Emperor's hand and instantly felt the exceptionally massive energy in his body. He looked up at the Snow Emperor and said seriously: "Thank you. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay this kindness."

The Snow Emperor just shook her head gently and said: "Since you and I have reached an alliance, there is no need to say such things. As far as I know, there is no such politeness between the so-called companions of you humans."

Shu Yan smiled silently, then explained softly:

"The emotions between humans are extremely complex. They can be incomparably pure, or they can be full of strong purpose. If they are true companions, naturally there is no need to be so polite. But if both sides are not thoroughly knowing each other, necessary courtesy and politeness are still necessary."

The Snow Emperor nodded thoughtfully, as if understanding the meaning of Shu Yan's words.

"Are you saying that I am not yet a companion you truly recognize?"

The Snow Emperor's voice was leisurely. Although there was still a faint smile on her face, in Shu Yan's eyes, a faint black aura was radiating around the Snow Emperor at this time, and a hair-raising feeling rose in his heart. Shu Yan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty:

"Naturally not. This is just a normal state limited to humans. You are naturally not included..."

Hearing this, the black aura lingering around the Snow Emperor slowly dissipated. Shu Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The Snow Emperor's pressure was still too strong.

The Snow Emperor glanced at Shu Yan, then sat on an ice chair on the side by herself. She supported her smooth chin with one hand, and there was a hint of fatigue in her beautiful eyes, and then she said somewhat lazily:

"Start to refine and absorb this snow lotus. Don't worry about accidents. I will help you seal the excess energy in your origin. You just need to absorb the heaven and earth essence and origin energy in the snow lotus as much as you can."

Shu Yan nodded and agreed, then sat cross-legged on the spot. The ten-thousand-year snow lotus floated quietly in front of him. Under his guidance, the pure heaven and earth essence and energy inside began to pour out, and then turned into blue and white intertwined energy and injected into his body. Unexpectedly, this energy was extremely gentle, not as manic as absorbing a soul ring, but instead carried a warm and watery feeling. The Snow Emperor yawned gently on the side, her sky-blue beautiful eyes depicting Shu Yan's cheeks, and the bits and pieces of their interaction since they met kept flashing in her eyes. Then she chuckled, and a faint arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, but soon it returned to calm.

……

Seven days passed in a flash. The aura on Shu Yan's body was still rising continuously. The heaven and earth essence and energy stored in the ten-thousand-year snow lotus were too massive. Even though the Snow Emperor had already absorbed nearly 50% of the heaven and earth essence, the remaining half still gave Shu Yan a huge benefit.

In just seven days, his soul power level climbed all the way from the initial level 45, until now he was only one step away from breaking through to Soul King, almost saving him nearly a year of hard cultivation. And nourished by the heaven and earth essence and the snow lotus origin energy, his already powerful physical fitness was raised by a large margin again, and his soul was also nourished to become more resilient and powerful.

But his biggest gain was not limited to this. The heaven and earth essence and energy he could not absorb were sealed in his origin by the Snow Emperor, and would constantly nourish his body in a subtle way, further accelerating his cultivation speed. Just seven days, for Shu Yan, was indeed a big transformation.

The Snow Emperor looked at Shu Yan's face, which had become more similar to hers due to the further evolution of the Ice Sky Snow Maiden origin, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

If her face was a kind of noble and cold beauty, then Shu Yan was a neutral style. The facial lines were softer than hers, and his handsome appearance carried a trace of coldness unique to women. Such a contrast not only didn't make him look awkward, but instead made his own charm even better. In other words, Shu Yan's face could indeed be said to be attractive to both men and women...

In the moment the Snow Emperor was stunned, the aura around Shu Yan gathered quickly, and then turned into ice-blue soul power ripples and rippled out. The colors on the original four purple soul rings slowly peeled off, replaced by a uniform and deep black. The origin evolved, plus the washing and sublimation of the snow lotus's heaven and earth essence and origin energy like money, Shu Yan's first four soul rings all promoted to black ten-thousand-year soul rings at this moment.

Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes. The seven days of refining and absorption didn't make him feel tired, but instead, he felt refreshed now, and the whole person felt as relaxed and comfortable as if he had been reborn.

The Snow Emperor rubbed her eyebrows and walked over slowly from the side, and her clear voice sounded.

"Thirteen-year-old Soul King, such an achievement is probably the first in history even if it is placed in your human world..."

Shu Yan smiled clearly and said:

"This is thanks to you. If there was no snow lotus, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save a lot of hard cultivation."

The Snow Emperor smiled lightly and didn't care much. She waved her jade hand gently, and a crystal-clear seed slowly flew up from the ground, and then came to the Snow Emperor's hand.

"You're welcome. The stronger you are, the greater our chance of success in the future. I can be considered as increasing my own chance of survival..."

Shu Yan smiled helplessly, always feeling that there was a strange feeling about the Snow Emperor. This feeling was like... a sister to a younger brother?

I don't know what he thought of, but Shu Yan's body trembled slightly, and he quickly shook his head, expelling all the strange thoughts in his mind...
