Chapter 339.1. The Curtain Opens


    The Third Elder revealed a slight smile on his face and said, This kid is pretty good. At least the reward that weve offered is not wasted. Ill guide him well in the future.


    Nangong Wanughed and said, Third Elder, dont try to pull that trick on me. I noticed this kid first. Spiritual calling is my thing. You already have so many disciples, but I dont even have one wholl inherit everything that I have. Ive already discussed this with the vice-founder. The tournament is an additional test for him. I want to him ept him as my inheriting disciple. Otherwise, why would I have asked the vice-founder to find this ss 9 stationary soul cannon shell? Ive already spent a lot of money. Theres no way you can snatch him from me!


    The Third Elder snorted and said, Dont forget, hes an outstanding soul engineer. He shouldnt be older than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but hes already as good as a ss 6 soul engineer. If we continue to nurture him, hell definitely be a ss 9 soul engineer. The founder also mentioned before that the future will belong to soul engineers. While his soul master cultivation is pretty decent, he cant give up on soul tools. Why dont we both ept him as a disciple? He knew he couldnt win against his second brother, and thus he offered an alternative.


    Nangong Wan pondered for a moment before saying, Its a usible idea. However, he can only be my Inheriting Disciple. Its fine if you want to teach him some stuff, but well have to see whether his spiritual power is sufficient. Soul engineers will be the trend in the future, but soul masters are stronger for now. Ive discovered that many academies have realized how important it is tobine both soul masters and soul tools.


    The Third Elder snapped, Second brother, you are really calcting. Youre asking me to teach him, but hes going to be your inheriting disciple? Hmph!


    Nangong Wanughed and said, Alright, alright. You must understand how I feel, too. When I ept him as my disciple, Ill get him to return the Darkness Green Dragon.


    After hearing Nangong Wans words, Mocke looked very delighted and hurriedly said, Thank you, senior uncle!


    Nangong Wan furrowed his brow when he looked at him and said, Even if the Darkness Green Dragon returns, you dont have the authority to possess it right now. You are too impatient; youll need to train for a few years first. When we return, you should learn how to develop soul tools.


    Mo Ke was stunned for a moment, then turned dismal. He looked at the Third Elder and softly said, Teacher


    The Third Elder snorted, Your second senior uncle is giving you a chance this time. If you left it up to me, Id confiscate the Darkness Green Dragon from you forever. Hmph!


    After hearing the Third Elders words, Mocke didnt dare to say anything.


    ------


    They quickly left the Radiant City on their carriages. The Duskwater Alliance was the strongest of the three underground organizations, and thus they werent too bothered with causing trouble as they rushed to their destination, charging along all the way there. The ordinary citizens avoided them when they saw the symbol on their carriages.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes were shut all the while. He didnt move at all. He Caitou also didnt make a sound as he sat beside Huo Yuhao. Huang Zheng didnt try to start a conversation with them when he saw how they wereposing themselves. Compared to the other carriage, they were much quieter. The carriage they were in also greatly reduced iing external sound, and thus it waspletely silent in their carriage.


    However, was Huo Yuhao really calm despite the silence? It was the exact opposite. Right now, he was trying to gather his spiritual power!


    In Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea, he had entered a miraculous state. Waves were surging furiously in his vast spiritual sea. The seawater had turned golden-silver after hepleted the Second Awakening of his body soul.


    Every time the seawater rose, the waves that it conjured stopped slightly. A two-colored whirlpool would also appear asionally.


    As the seawater rose, a white ball of light emitting a dim glow condensed in mid-air. This ball wasntpletely circr, but oval, like an egg. It was filled with the aura of life!


    There were a few figures drifting atop the waters surface in his spiritual sea.


    The Ice Empress still held the image of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. However, her body was a hundred feet long in this spiritual sea. Her dazzling diamond ice crystals and azure-green tail were very splendid and eye-catching.


    The eight-to-nine-year-old Snow Empress was standing beside the Ice Empress. She was already very pretty at this age. Her long, white dress waspletely spotless, and she wore a captivating smile on her face. asionally, she would get closer to the Ice Empress and whisper a few words.


    The Ice Empress wasnt thergest figure. That was the Skydream Iceworm, who waszily lying down in the spiritual sea.


    Huo Yuhaos spiritual power came mainly from the Skydream Iceworm. It was his presence that gave him everything that his Spirit Eyes possessed. Although his spiritual power had increased to an extremely high level, hispatibility with the Skydream Iceworm was still very high. The Skydream Iceworm was veryfortable as hey in Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea.


    However, the Skydream Iceworm was in a rather bad mood right now. As he stole nces at the Snow and Ice Empresses, he felt a little indignant.


    After the ordeal that happened in the past, the Snow Empress had turned into a Spirit, and he entered deep sleep with the Ice Empress. It was also at that point in time that his rtionship with the Ice Empress got a little closer.


    However, the Ice Empress still seemed a little harsh, like she had been in the past, after she awoke. Even though the Snow Empress had lost most of her memories, she remained close to the Ice Empress instead of bothering with him. How could he not be depressed seeing that?


    Skydream, is it fine for Huo Yuhao to be like this? Will he be in any danger? The Ice Empress voice was very captivating.


    The Skydream Icewormzily replied, Hell be fine. His spiritual realm has reached the stage I was in at my strongest state. He has also fused with my spiritual power. Right now, the problem he has is that his body cant handle his spiritual power. He wontck for power. Hes just using his spiritual power to do things right now, and not directly attacking anyone. Hell be fine. Hes only isting a part of it right now. Even if it doesnte back, it wont harm him.


    The Ice Empress snorted and said, You dont seem to be anxious at all.


    The Skydream Iceworm replied, Eh, I dont even want to live anymore. Whats there to be anxious about? Even if something happens to him, Ill just die with him.


    The Ice Empress was stunned for a moment. Dont want to live anymore? Theres no one in this world who knows this logic better than you; better a bad life than a good death! Youve already lived for a million years, but you are still entertaining such a thought?


    The Skydream Iceworm almost spat out blood. Ice, cant you treat me better? After all, we are of opposite genders!


    Nothing will happen between you and the Snow Empress. Why are you still pestering her? Ive treated you so well. Let me tell you, I dont have anyone else that I like. Ive already turned into Yuhaos Spirit. Ive felt this Spirit before. Even if something happens to me, it wont affect Yuhao. Since you are so cold towards me, I might actually seek death one day.


    The Ice Empress snapped, Dont pull this trick on me! Dont think that Ill like you just because you were being very righteous and brave then! Look at your foolishness! Iceworms were born to be the food of Ice Jade Scorpions! You and I can never be together!


    The Skydream Iceworm didnt reply after hearing the Ice Empress words. Hezily turned his head and didnt utter a word.


    There was a slight tremble of emotion in the Ice Empress eyes. She lifted her tail to p the spiritual sea. She seemed to be venting and exerting her dominance over the Skydream Iceworm. However, she didnt do anything to him.


    This fellow! Why should I like him? Im an elegant Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. Why would I like an Iceworm? The Ice Empress told herself. However, she was very frustrated by the Skydream Iceworms silence.


    The Snow Empress stared at her with her big, beautiful eyes. The look in her eyes was very clear.


    The Ice Empress was in a daze. She recalled everything that had happened in Clear Sky Castle. She recalled too many things. She recalled how the Skydream Iceworm was so decisive, and the Snow Empressst words.


    Dont tell me Ive really


    At this moment, the ball of light above the spiritual sea broke apart, and a projection rose from it.


    A rhythmic heartbeat was suddenly audible. The projection slowly descended and appeared in front of the two Empresses and the Skydream Iceworm.


    How do you all feel? Sense my aura. Huo Yuhao had descended. Right now, he seemed to bepletely formed from spiritual power. He was icy-white in color, as if he were carved from ice. However, there was a dim golden glow around him.


    The Skydream Iceworm finally opened his mouth. He lifted his head and came over in front of Huo Yuhao. Heplimented, Oviparity! Not bad, not bad. You canpletely unleash the concrete-immaterial realm, and temporarily attain the concrete-material realm!


    However, dont forget that you dont have much time. Although you wont be affected even if your spiritual self is gone, youll still suffer short-term memory loss. Your spiritual sea will also be greatly affected. Youll need to recover for at least three months before you return to normal. Thats why you need to return in two hours. At the same time, you cant transcend space with your actual body. Get it?
