Chapter 291: Living Up to the Name of the Far North Dominator; Soul Core Secret Method
Feeling the supreme divine power of the Divinity emanating from Jiang Li, the Ice Emperor was filled with immense envy.
Despite her current cultivation of 390,000 years and her true form being the Overlord of the Far North, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, she could unleash a formidable combat power comparable to a level 98 Peak Douluo with every move.
But she knew one thing clearly: she could never cross the upcoming 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, no matter what.
Ten thousand years is but a blink of an eye for the Soul Beast race. The only thing she could do now was to suppress her cultivation as much as possible to linger on for a bit longer in this world of ice and snow.
"That Blue Silver Emperor is truly lucky..."
The Ice Emperor couldn't help but mutter softly, her tone full of bitterness and envy.
As long as the Jiang Li before her successfully became a god, or his child who received the Sea God's Legacy achieved Ascension, that Blue Silver Emperor would be like a person whose relatives also rise to heaven when they attain the Dao, directly breaking through the shackles that had bound Soul Beasts for generations.
Beside her, the Snow Empress's cold eyes also revealed a complex expression.
She now had a cultivation of 690,000 years, and the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation hanging over her head would arrive in ten thousand years at most.
Clearly, even as the brilliant and talented Dominator of the Far North, she didn't have the slightest confidence in surviving that destined destructive Lightning Tribulation.
There were now only three paths left for her.
Either perish under the Heavenly Tribulation, or find a top-tier treasure to help her Seal her nearly 700,000 years of cultivation and transform into a human to cultivate again.
Or find the supreme treasure unique to the Far North, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Pith, to help her achieve a Breakthrough.
But these three paths...
Years ago, the Ice Emperor had discovered an Ice Silkworm that had absorbed countless amounts of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Pith, but unfortunately, that damned silkworm escaped in the end; otherwise, how could the current situation be so difficult?
"Jiang Li, I can give you the Secret Method for condensing a Soul Core."
The Snow Empress took a deep breath, as if making a major decision, "But I ask for nothing else, only that after I die... you show mercy to the people of the Far North and look after them."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
He had originally thought the Snow Empress would take the opportunity to blackmail him, exchanging it for a promise to help her survive the Heavenly Tribulation after he became a god.
Or perhaps some request that would allow them to continue living.
But what Jiang Li never expected was that at this critical moment of life and death, she was still thinking about the thousands of Soul Beasts in the Far North.
Judging solely from this breadth of mind and responsibility, the stunning woman before him truly lived up to the supreme reputation of the Lord of the Far North.
"Fine, I promise you."
Jiang Li set aside his casual attitude and nodded solemnly, "In my hometown, there's an old saying: those who recognize the situation are heroes. Since the Snow Empress is so straightforward, I won't take advantage of you. In return, I will personally step in to ensure you both safely survive your Heavenly Tribulations when the time comes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the bodies of both the Ice and Snow Empresss trembled.
They never expected that after such a turn of events, they would receive a Heaven-Defying promise that could change their fates; it was truly a massive, unexpected joy!
Without any hesitation, the Snow Empress curled her fingers, and a mass of Spiritual Power Origin emitting a deep blue glow instantly condensed, slowly floating into Jiang Li's hand.
"Mr. Jiang Li, this contains not only the complete method for condensing the first Soul Core but also my insights and realizations from trying to condense a second Soul Core over the years."
The Snow Empress sighed softly, a hint of bitterness appearing on her beautiful face, "However, I'm ashamed to say that in the entire Far North, neither I nor Bing'er has successfully condensed a second Soul Core. So... this is all we can help you with."
If she hadn't been stuck at the Yin and Yang complementary Bottleneck of the second Soul Core, unable to achieve a Breakthrough, how could she, the dignified Lord of the Far North, watch helplessly as the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation approached?
Jiang Li unceremoniously drew that mass of deep blue Spiritual Power Origin into his forehead.
As a vast stream of information unfolded in his mind, he closed his eyes to carefully sense it for a moment, a satisfied curve slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"It's enough."
Jiang Li opened his eyes, a sharp light of eagerness flashing in them, "Just these insights into extreme energy compression and the Yin and Yang complementary attempts are enough to save me years of fumbling. Snow Empress, thank you."
Having obtained the long-coveted Secret Method, Jiang Li naturally wouldn't waste time.
He looked around the spacious and quiet ice palace and directly stated his next plan.
"The danger of condensing a Soul Core is no small matter; there must be no outside interference. Since I'm already here, I plan to go into secluded cultivation within your Far North Core Circle for a while to attempt condensing my first Soul Core. I wonder if the Snow Empress has a quiet place suitable for cultivation?"
Towards this prospective Divinity who had just made a promise and carried the marks of two God Kings, the Snow Empress would naturally not be stingy or obstructive.
Moreover, letting him cultivate on her own territory would naturally deepen this karmic bond.
"Of course."
The Snow Empress nodded slightly, her beautiful face regaining the composure and magnanimity befitting the Lord of the Far North, and spoke in a calm tone, "Deep beneath this Snow Emperor Palace, there happens to be an Extreme Cold Ice Chamber. It is not only absolutely quiet and shielded from the wind and snow, but the pure essence of heaven and earth there is several times that of the outside world. Aside from Bing'er and me, no Soul Beast in the entire Far North dares to approach it. You can cultivate there in peace."
"Oh? Then thank you for your hospitality, Snow Empress."
Jiang Li smiled faintly and accepted without hesitation.
Everything was ready; all that was needed was the final push.
Next, it was time for Jiang Li to officially charge toward the true limits of the mortal world on this Douluo Continent!
As Jiang Li's figure disappeared from the area, the Ice Emperor stepped forward with a puzzled look and asked, "Xue'er, why didn't you ask that guy Jiang Li about Lord Ice God?"
"In the entire continent, if anyone is likely to inherit the position of the Ice God, who else but you would be qualified?"
Looking at her close friend who had accompanied her for countless years, the Snow Empress shook her head slightly.
"Bing'er, some things belong to me, and others certainly cannot take them away."
"But if something isn't mine, even if I force it, it will only add to my troubles."
"I can feel that Lord Ice God's Legacy is within this world, but it has yet to manifest..."
"Perhaps..."
"The time is not yet right..."
