Chapter 134 The Snow Empress Who Has Been Missing for Two and a Half Years
The atmosphere in Brigitte's room on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel was somber.
Biji, Ziji, and Huo Yutong stood solemnly in front of the box containing the "Conferred God Platform".
"Elder Yi, Tianmeng, I trouble you two to set up an isolation barrier in the room."
"Zi Ji, you stay here and guard. Yu Tong, let's go in." Bi Ji quickly gave the instructions.
Everyone acted as instructed. Electrolux and Tianmeng joined forces to set up a double barrier of mental and spiritual power; Ziji stood guard in place, her gaze sharp.
With a slight thought, Huo Yutong opened the entrance to the undead demiplane and stepped inside with Biji.
Within the undead demiplane, Brigitte carefully opened the Flower Box.
Inside the Conferred God Platform, the tiny embryo lay dormant, emanating a faint yet pure chill, its aura extremely weak.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Brigitte's eyes, and a soft emerald light emanated from her fingertips as she slowly channeled a stream of pure life energy into her.
The embryo, like parched land receiving sweet rain, greedily absorbed this healing power.
Just then, within Huo Yutong's sea of consciousness, the phantom of the Ice Emperor trembled violently and uncontrollably surfaced.
Her gaze was fixed on the embryo in the Conferred God Platform, her golden eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and pain.
"...Xue'er? No...this can't be! How could it be you?!"
Hyotei's illusory hand trembled as he touched the barrier of the Consecration Platform, his voice trembling with an unusual intensity.
As if sensing this extremely familiar aura and call, the dormant embryo suddenly erupted with a terrifying energy fluctuation!
An extremely cold storm suddenly exploded outwards from its center, instantly freezing the deathly air of the undead demiplane, with countless ice crystals spreading wildly.
Bi Ji reacted extremely quickly, instantly deploying a green light screen to firmly protect Huo Yutong behind her.
At the same time, the "Ice God Pearl" that had been stored in the undead demiplane seemed to be summoned by something, and automatically flew up from the storage, bursting out with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!
It rose slowly, like an ice-blue sun, and drifted straight toward the Investiture Platform.
Outside, Electrolux was also alarmed by the intense fluctuations that mixed with divine aura and primal power, and his phantom entered the demiplane.
The Conferred God Platform and the Ice God Pearl hung in mid-air, attracting each other, and the extreme cold energy dyed half of the plane white with frost.
Finally, with a soft sound that seemed to originate from the soul, the outer shell of the Conferred God Platform shattered inch by inch.
A stunningly beautiful young woman emerged from the crowd. Her hair was as white as snow, her face flawless, but her eyes were closed and lifeless.
Instinctively, she stretched out her arms and gently embraced the Ice God Pearl that flew right in front of her.
Om-!
The Ice God Pearl shone brightly, completely engulfing the girl's figure. The raging ice storm subsided instantly.
As the light faded, the Ice God Pearl floated quietly, and deep within its core, a silver-haired baby girl could be seen sleeping peacefully, as if she had become one with the pearl.
Using her soul power to protect herself, Brigitte stepped forward and carefully lifted the Ice God Pearl.
After careful observation, Electrox said in a deep voice, "The spirit...she resonated with this divine object containing the essence of ice-type laws, allowing her soul to reside within it, thus becoming the spirit of this bead. This may be the best way to preserve her consciousness for now."
"But Xue'er is the dignified Queen of the Far North, who has lived for 700,000 years! How could she have fallen to this state and been forced to transform and rebuild her cultivation?" The illusory figure of the Ice Emperor was filled with agitation.
"Snow Empress?!" Huo Yutong finally snapped out of her shock.
"Ice Empress, calm down." Beesie's voice was gentle yet reassuring. "The Soul Master Tournament is currently underway, and there are many people around. Once the tournament concludes, we will definitely resolve the Snow Empress's matter properly as soon as possible."
After a long while, Hyotei calmed down, gently stroking the Ice God Orb and gazing at the sleeping baby girl inside.
Before the Snow Empress embryo was auctioned off, the Star Crown Royal Family sent Soul Masters to study it. However, after two and a half years of research, they found nothing and had no choice but to auction it off.
……
The next day, the match roster was finalized—all six boys were selected to compete.
After the strategic meeting, an unspoken understanding led them to Dai Yueheng's room.
Before anyone knew it, six chairs had been placed in the room, arranged in a circle.
The six people took their seats in turn, their expressions solemn, as if they were about to undergo some kind of sacred ceremony.
"Victory is certain tomorrow." Dai Yueheng was the first to extend his hand, palm down.
"Victory is certain!"
Five hands collided and echoed in the room, igniting a burning light in the boy's eyes.
Yao Haoxuan's gaze swept over the "Overlord Tiger Soul Refining Blade" he had acquired at the auction, and his eyes were filled with envy: "I also want such a cool close-combat soul tool."
"Leave it to me!" He Caitou patted his chest, his dark face full of confidence. "Once I can forge higher-level soul tools, I'll definitely arrange them for all the senior students!"
"Then we'll be waiting," Gongyang Mo said with a smile.
Beibei chimed in, "Actually, it can be done now. A level four Soul Master is more than enough to be tailor-made for me and Xiaoya."
"That's perfect!" He Caitou's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a notebook and pen from somewhere. "Everyone, tell me what you want, I'll write it down and make it happen one by one later!"
Dai Yueheng smiled and shook her head: "I have 'Overlord Tiger', that's enough."
Yao Haoxuan immediately gestured: "I want a power-type melee soul tool, preferably dual hammers!"
If I could freely control its size, it would be even more perfect—combined with my Giant Martial Soul, a single blow could seal the deal!
Chen Zifeng pondered for a moment: "I need a soul tool that can amplify the 'Soul Chasing Sword,' or defensive equipment. Also..."
He coughed lightly and, under the curious gazes of Beibei and He Caitou, said frankly, "I'm going to forge two short blades that fit Xixi perfectly."
"Xixi?" Beibei didn't react for a moment.
"He and Xixi are dating," Gongyang Mo explained with a smile. "They got together at the Sea God's Fate Conference a few months ago; it caused quite a stir!"
"That's right!" Yao Haoxuan interjected excitedly, "Zifeng looked incredibly handsome that day!"
Dai Yueheng laughed and replied, "We've all agreed to be his best men. How about it, Beibei, Caitou, join our groomsmen group?"
"We must join!" they both exclaimed in unison.
Beibei laughed and said, "Then when Xiaoya and I have our ceremony, you all have to come and be my best men."
"It's a deal!" Amid laughter, they clapped hands to seal the agreement.
Returning to the topic of soul tools, Gongyang Mo elegantly smoothed his sideburns: "As for me, I naturally prioritize defense. Only by protecting myself can I better assist everyone."
Beibei added at the end: "I hope to try combining the soul tool with the Tang Clan's hidden weapons."
However, Xiaoya and I have limited talent in soul tools, so we'll start with melee weapons like swords.
He Caitou wrote furiously, carefully recording everyone's dreams.
"That's it!" Yao Haoxuan suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "For our performance tomorrow, should we design a cool group move to wow them?"
This suggestion instantly ignited everyone's inner fanatic.
For the rest of the night, the room was filled with gestures, arguments, and suppressed laughter.
The six teenagers meticulously and childishly pondered the angle, rhythm, and momentum of each pose, as if this were not a competition debut, but the first appearance of an epic hero team.
