At this moment, the astonishing aura coming from outside the snow hut caught Wang Li's attention. To avoid being disturbed later, he decided to deal with the trouble in front of him first.
After putting away the seed, Wang Li turned and walked out. Outside the hut, besides Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he saw three other figures.
On the right stood a figure about a hundred meters tall, towering like a mountain. Its entire body was covered in white fur, and its eyes were like lanterns. It was a Titan Snow Demon, an extremely powerful type of soul beast in the Extreme North. However, this one was exceptionally huge,it was the Titan Snow Demon King.
On the left was a much smaller figure, only about 1.5 meters tall. It was a completely jade-green scorpion, as if carved from crystal. It was an Ice Jade Scorpion, also a powerful soul beast of the Extreme North. But this one was different,it was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
In the middle stood a figure that looked like a normal human woman, yet she was extraordinarily beautiful. Her white hair flowed down to her feet, and her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal, as if she were the most perfect creation of heaven and earth,stunning beyond compare.
Although she looked human, she was not. She was a soul beast born from the essence of nature in the Extreme North,the Ice Snow Maiden.
As Wang Li stepped out, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were overjoyed.
Dugu Bo then said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Li, I'll hold them off. You take Yan Yan and leave first. These are likely ferocious beasts with over 200,000 years of cultivation, comparable to Super Douluo-level experts. Go first,I'll stall them for a while and then find a way to regroup with you."
Dugu Yan grew anxious. There were three soul beasts comparable to Super Douluo, but her grandfather was alone:
"Grandpa…"
Wang Li had no intention of listening to Dugu Bo. Even if a fight broke out, he should be the one to stay behind, as his core ability was immortality.
Walking to their side, he said:
"Grandpa, Sister Yan Yan, they haven't attacked directly, which means there's room for negotiation. Soul beasts at this level are as intelligent as humans. Let's communicate before fighting."
He then stepped forward and said loudly to the three soul beasts:
"You three must be the rulers of the Extreme North. We have already completed what we came here to do and will leave soon. We will not disturb you."
After he finished speaking, both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon King looked toward the Ice Snow Maiden. Firstly, she was the strongest among them; secondly, her charm transcended species,both had once pursued her.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was relatively fortunate, but the Titan Snow Demon King had once been severely injured by her,every bone in his body except his head shattered. It took a thousand years to recover.
At this moment, the Ice Snow Maiden looked at Wang Li. Her sky-blue eyes were emotionless as she asked calmly:
"The Purple Jade Heaven-reaching Ginseng that originally lived on this snow mountain,why did it suddenly sacrifice itself to you?"
Wang Li thought for a moment before answering honestly:
"I made a deal with it. It gave me its 190,000 years of cultivation, and in return, I would help it live a second life and avoid the impending heavenly tribulation."
Hearing this, the Ice Snow Maiden, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Demon King were all shocked. As ferocious beasts, they understood the terror of heavenly tribulations. However, unlike plant-type soul beasts, they did not know that Wang Li's Blue Silver Emperor possessed the power to revive life.
Even they,over 200,000 years for the Titan Snow Demon King, over 300,000 years for the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and over 600,000 years for the Ice Snow Maiden,were troubled by the coming tribulations.
The Ice Snow Maiden asked again, her tone slightly more urgent:
"Has the Purple Jade Heaven-reaching Ginseng been revived?"
Wang Li shook his head and said:
"Your sudden arrival prevented me from focusing on saving it. Once we leave the Extreme North, I will revive it."
Understanding this, the Ice Snow Maiden stepped back and said:
"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon King, step back. Human, you may proceed without worry. We will not interfere."
Following her words, the other two also retreated. They, too, wanted to see whether the ginseng could truly be revived.
Seeing how cooperative they were, Wang Li quickly realized the opportunity. He didn't mind demonstrating his abilities,he might even gain three powerful allies.
He immediately summoned his martial soul and took out the seed. Strands of Blue Silver Grass gently touched it.
He murmured inwardly:
"The ultimate revival,though wildfire burns endlessly, spring winds bring life again!"
His second soul ring lit up, and his vast soul power instantly transformed into immense life energy.
Streams of blue energy flowed continuously through the Blue Silver branches into the seed.
The lifeless seed trembled slightly. Moments later, it began to regain vitality.
It sprouted and grew. A dead seed had truly come back to life. The vitality of Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver King, and the Blue Silver Emperor were fundamentally different. After his martial soul evolved, his second soul skill had improved the most, as it directly harnessed life force.
The seed's growth was visible to the naked eye. It quickly passed the stages of a ten-year soul beast, a hundred-year soul beast, a thousand-year soul beast, and reached the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
At this point, a purple ginseng appeared, crystal-clear like jade, emitting an enticing aura.
Wang Li knew the crucial moment had arrived:
"Soul, return to your place!"
The purple ginseng released a powerful suction force, as if trying to reclaim something that originally belonged to it.
Within Wang Li's body,more precisely, within his torso soul bone,the soul of the Purple Jade Heaven-reaching Ginseng, which had fallen into a deep slumber after losing its soul ring, soul bone, power, and origin, was drawn out by this force.
A purple sphere of light flew out of his body and merged into the ginseng.
A burst of purple light followed, and all aura instantly withdrew. When the light faded, the ginseng was gone, replaced by a purple-haired young man.
The young man opened his eyes, filled with joy, and stood up laughing:
"I'm alive again, hahaha…"
Of course, the Purple Jade Heaven-reaching Ginseng had not truly transformed into a human. This was one of its innate abilities,burrowing underground and transforming its form, the most effective way for it to hide.
Wang Li did not return the soul ring, soul bone, or the 190,000 years of cultivation. He simply used the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor to forcefully grant it a second life.
On the other side, the Ice Snow Maiden, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Demon King were all stunned.
Dead… alive… someone who had died had truly come back to life…
