Chapter 82 Reaching the Far North
"The Spirit Pagoda has taken on this business deal. I wonder when the Body Sect will send an envoy to the Snow Demon Sect to discuss trade matters with the Spirit Pagoda," said Bi Ji.
"The envoy from the Body Sect will arrive within a week," Langya said.
"It's taking too long. Our young sect leader needs to acquire a soul ring. We will visit the Snow Demon Sect again in twenty days," Zi Ji said.
"I wonder what the young sect leader Huo Yutong's martial soul is. Is the Snow Demon Sect able to provide assistance?" Lang Ya said.
"My martial soul is the eye, a level 39 control-type Soul Master."
"...May I ask how old Young Sect Master Huo Yutong is this year?" Lang Ya asked.
"12".
Upon hearing this, Lang Ya and Yu Tao were both shocked. At 12 years old and level 39, even Long Aotian, the personal disciple of Master Yu, only broke through to the fourth ring Soul Venerable at the age of 13.
Then, Zi Ji placed all the goods stored in the storage soul tool into the Snow Demon Sect's warehouse, and the two parties exchanged goods for money.
After leaving the Snow Demon Sect, the three women met up with Di Tian and Di Qiu, who were waiting for them in the valley. Bi Ji and Zi Ji gave a brief report on the results.
When Biji and her two companions visited the Snow Demon Sect, Di Qiu grew impatient. Di Tian decided to tell Di Qiu a story, of course, about the great deeds of the Dragon God. Di Qiu quieted down and remained asleep until Biji and the others returned.
"Biji, Ziji, well done! You're both great." Di Tian gently patted Biji and Ziji's heads, and then patted Huo Yutong's head as well.
"Let's set off too." Di Tian also revealed his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, carrying Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Huo Yutong, and Di Qiu, who had just woken up and was still rubbing his sleepy eyes. He transformed into a black streak of light and shot straight towards the distant far north.
During the journey, Ice Emperor gave everyone a detailed introduction to the situation here: the strength of Titan Snow Demon King Atai, the loyalty of Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and the temperament and territory of the other 100,000-year-old soul beast clan leaders, leaving no detail unmentioned, laying the groundwork for the upcoming meeting.
The dragon's body descended, shattering millennia-old ice. Di Tian did not conceal his overwhelming, ferocious aura; his voice boomed like thunder: "Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King, I, the Beast God Di Tian, have arrived!"
Then, the illusory image of Hyotei also appeared on Huo Yutong's body.
Biji and Ziji, who came down, held down the excited Diqiu on the left and right—this imperial beast that was setting foot on the ice plains for the first time. Seeing the white snow, he couldn't wait to pounce on it and roll around in it.
Soon, heavy footsteps approached from afar, and the Titan Snow Demon King Atai, whose body was as large as a mountain, appeared first. Closely following behind was the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, who resembled a moving snow hill.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling emerald light flashed, and the successor of the Ice Emperor, an Ice Jade Scorpion named A Jing with a cultivation level of 150,000 years, arrived, bringing with her a chilling aura.
Further away, several powerful auras could be faintly seen; these were other powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the far north, secretly observing.
The scene became somewhat quiet for a moment, with only the howling of the cold wind.
The kings of the far north stared at Di Tian, their gazes a mixture of scrutiny, awe, and a hint of barely perceptible wariness.
Despite the connection with Hyotei, the arrival of the Beast God suggests that his intentions are far from insignificant.
As the representative, Hyotei immediately explained the situation and stated that he had become Huo Yutong's soul spirit and was with Huo Yutong.
As for Xiaobai, her eyes were full of "clarity." She thought that Xuedi was still in seclusion and would come out in a while. Bingdi couldn't help but think that this was the good thing about Xiaobai. She believed whatever Xuedi said. She had previously worried that Xiaobai would make a fuss because Xuedi was not around.
After hearing this, Atai broke the silence first: "Your Excellency Emperor Tian, the Ice Emperor has already explained your purpose. But cooperation requires sincerity, and even more so, shared interests."
The far north is bitterly cold and resource-limited. Why should we get involved in your conflict with human powers?
Di Tian said, "Atai, you are wrong. This is not just a matter for Di Tian alone, nor is it just a crisis for the Star Dou Great Forest."
The development of human soul tools is progressing faster than imagined. One day, their footprints will cover every corner of the continent, including this far northern wilderness.
Today's cooperation is for the sake of our soul beast race, to jointly plan for the future and combat the increasingly pressing survival crisis.
……
Ten thousand years later, the Qian Gu family hunted the three major gathering places of the land's soul beasts. Titan Snow Demon King Atai fought to the last moment. His head was cut off and hung high on the flag. His eyes were filled with blood and tears as he looked at the crimson-stained far north. He was the last king of the far north.
……
Hyotei also said, "Atai, Xiaobai, what Ditian said is true. Tianmeng and I have personally experienced that the technology in the human world is advancing by leaps and bounds."
If we remain complacent and stagnant, we will eventually be swallowed up by the times.
If this collaboration successfully acquires core human resources and technologies, it will be entirely beneficial to the growth of the tribes in the far north.
Xiaobai looked at Hyotei: "Aunt Hyotei, I trust you. Tell us how to cooperate, and we'll listen."
Biji stepped forward, took out a bottle of Xuanbing Pills, and showed it to them: "We can provide Xuanbing Pills and other pills that will help your cultivation."
Xiao Bai's "tears" involuntarily streamed down her face. Atai and Ajing also stared intently at the Xuanbing Pill.
Huo Yutong stepped forward, bowed slightly to the several kings of the far north, and said in a humble yet respectful manner, "Seniors, we can discuss the specific cooperation plan in detail."
The first step is to resolve the material transactions with the human sects we cooperate with. This requires some unique resources produced in the far north as bargaining chips. At the same time, we also need the strength of our predecessors to ensure that the transaction process is foolproof.
In return, the proceeds from this transaction will be prioritized for enhancing the strength of the soul beasts in the far north.
Di Tian chimed in, "That's right. This is not just a transaction, but also a demonstration of power."
Humans need to understand that spirit beasts are not resources they can manipulate at will.
The 150,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, A-Jing, stepped forward and said, "What are the specific resource lists and action plans? We need to ensure that our foundation in the far north is not affected."
"First, you all need to summon the leaders of your respective clans. If the chieftains of the Frost Penguin and Snow Seal clans are present, you must call them here," Di Tian said.
Atai instructed his people to summon the leaders of various tribes. Since the Snow Emperor was not present and the Ice Emperor had become a spirit, cooperation was the best option.
Biji then took out several more bottles of the remaining pills and explained their effects to Atai and the other beasts.
"Aunt Bing, I want to eat that Xuanbing Pill." Xiaobai moved closer to Bingdi, gazing at her longingly, her nose twitching slightly.
Ice Emperor chuckled softly and looked at Huo Yutong: "Yutong, do you still have any Xuanbing Pills?"
Huo Yutong nodded, took out a bottle of pills from her storage soul tool, and took out a crystal clear pill that exuded a cold aura.
Little White immediately and obediently brought its big head closer, its bright bear eyes full of anticipation.
Huo Yutong tiptoed and boldly fed him the pill, then casually touched his fluffy, soft head, finding it unexpectedly warm.
