Chapter 220 Kong Xuan: You too will become gods!
Faced with the "unyielding" Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Kong Xuan did not resort to force, after all, he still needed to obtain her soul.
Meanwhile, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin watched Kong Xuan with trepidation, fearing that he might suddenly become violent in a fit of anger.
In fact, the fact that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass actively chose to become Huo Yuhao's soul in the original work shows that, compared to the other immortal herbs here, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass is very opinionated and dares to take risks.
Kong Xuan turned his gaze to the celestial herb that emitted a chilling aura and looked as if it were formed from condensed ice crystals, and slowly said, "I won't take your eight-cornered Xuanbing Crystal for nothing. I'll give you a chance for eternal life in the future!"
Then he looked at Liehuo Xingjiaoshu: "You are the same."
Immortality was a concept far too distant for these immortal herbs; they had never even considered it.
However, the allure of "immortality" is truly irresistible to them.
They were not good at fighting to begin with, and it was already incredibly lucky for them to become 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, this precious place, can accelerate their growth, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
In another ten thousand years, their cultivation will reach two hundred thousand years, but at the same time they will also face a heavenly tribulation that lasts for two hundred thousand years.
They had no confidence that they could survive the tribulation safely; perhaps that would be the end of their lives.
As the fiery apricot blossoms and the fragrant celestial herbs seemed lost in their fantasies, the icy voice of the eight-cornered ice grass rang out once more: "Don't believe him. Immortality is not so easy."
Upon hearing this, the two immortal herbs came to their senses and realized that they had almost been tricked into believing in a promise of immortality. It was indeed a bit ridiculous for a human to talk to them about eternal life.
Although these people are strong, they won't outlive them in terms of lifespan.
Kong Xuan slowly walked towards the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and said, "Since this place was left by Tang San, you should know the story of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python."
"As soul beasts that were 100,000 years old, they sacrificed themselves to Tang San. When Tang San became a god and ascended to the God Realm, these two soul beasts also gained eternal life."
"Hmph!" The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass snorted and sneered, "Are you saying that you can also become a god? It seems that you not only want the immortal herb, but also want us to become your soul rings."
Even the fiery apricot blossoms and the fragrant celestial treasures lost interest, clearly knowing how difficult it was to become a god.
Kong Xuan smiled slightly at this situation.
With a slight thought, he connected with the supreme treasure from another world—the Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron—at the deepest part of his spiritual sea!
Buzz...!!
An indescribable, powerful energy, seemingly containing the will to suppress the four seas and eight wastelands and to establish the rule of the universe, suddenly emanated from Kong Xuan's brow like a sleeping dragon awakening!
This energy was not a substantial attack, but rather a declaration of rank, a primal pressure!
It swept across the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley silently, like mercury spilling onto the ground, passing over every immortal herb, brushing over every inch of land, and even causing strange ripples to appear in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!
In an instant, the entire valley fell into an eerie, absolute silence!
All sounds—the sound of wind, water, and even the subtle sounds of the immortal herbs' own energy flow—seemed to be forcefully suppressed by this sudden, immense pressure!
A knowing glint flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes; she already knew that Kong Xuan was the "God King of Another World".
Although shocked by this energy that far surpassed the level of this realm, he was still able to remain calm, nodding slightly and inwardly marveling at the purity and vastness of this energy.
However, for the Snow Empress, who was unaware of this, the appearance of this power brought about a shocking change in her understanding!
The moment that aura swept by, Xue Di's beautiful icy blue eyes suddenly narrowed to their limit!
Her delicate body trembled violently, and for the first time, her face revealed an undisguised, almost out-of-control look of shock!
As a ferocious beast that once stood at the pinnacle of the continent for 600,000 years, her knowledge and perception far surpassed that of ordinary people, and her understanding of the essence of energy was extremely profound!
She was 100% certain that this energy was something that could not be found on the Douluo Continent.
"This energy, this pressure, definitely doesn't belong to the Douluo Continent!" Xue Di whispered in disbelief, her voice filled with disbelief: "This...this is divine power?!"
She abruptly turned her head to look at Kong Xuan beside her, whose expression remained calm. His indifferent figure was reflected in her icy blue pupils, and a storm raged in her heart!
Faced with Kong Xuan, her "savior," she always felt that he couldn't just be a Soul Emperor, but she never expected him to be a god.
In comparison, these immortal herbs were even worse off, with their branches and leaves curled up and their flower heads drooping, all showing submission to Kong Xuan.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass's voice, no longer calm, trembled slightly as it said, "You...you are a god?!"
Kong Xuan shook his head: "I am not a god yet, but I have already obtained the inheritance of a god, and becoming a god at level 100 is inevitable in the future!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass hurriedly said, "I am willing to offer up the Eight-Cornered Ice Crystal, only wishing that you could give me a chance for eternal life."
At this moment, her attitude had changed drastically; instead of resisting, her tone was full of pleading.
Although 100,000-year-old soul beasts are rare, they can still be encountered on the continent.
In the past ten thousand years, not a single person has been able to become a god.
Therefore, the decisive Eight-Cornered Ice Grass would naturally not let this opportunity pass. As for face, what does it matter compared to immortality!
On the other side, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu hurriedly said, "I am also willing to offer up the blazing glue in exchange for a chance at eternal life."
Not to be outdone, the fragrant and elegant fairy said, "I am willing to offer up the heart of the fairy, which can cure all poisons, and I also ask for a chance to live forever."
In an instant, the attitude of these magical herbs changed drastically.
Without Kong Xuan needing to say anything more, they all offered up their treasures on their own.
Kong Xuan smiled with satisfaction; this was the result he wanted.
"Very well, I will give you a chance for eternal life. This is my promise as the successor of the gods!"
Although it was just a promise made in vain, the divine aura just now was undeniable.
With such an opportunity before them, even if Kong Xuan was deceiving them, they were willing to take the gamble.
A piece of fiery red glue steaming hot, a piece of icy blue octagonal ice crystal, and a cherry-sized purple bead floated over from the three immortal herbs and finally stopped in front of Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan first put away the purple Qiluo Heart, then turned to look at Kong Ling and Meng Hongchen beside him.
Kong Ling knew that Kong Xuan had the opportunity to become a god, but Meng Hongchen had only just learned of this news.
The worries of the past now seem to have become a reality.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she stared straight at Kong Xuan, her fists clenched, looking completely lost.
What happened?
Kong Xuan asked softly, reaching out to hold Meng Hongchen's slightly cold little hand.
Meng Hongchen threw herself into Kong Xuan's arms, pressing her pretty face against his chest, and sobbed, "After you become a god, does that mean we can't be together anymore?"
Kong Xuan smiled upon hearing this; so this was what Meng Hongchen was worried about.
He glanced at his younger sister, Kong Ling, beside him, and seemed to understand the same meaning from her eyes.
He patted Meng Hongchen on the back and said, "Don't worry, after becoming a god, you are allowed to bring a few close friends or family members with you when you ascend to the God Realm."
Meng Hongchen lifted her little head from Kong Xuan's chest and looked up at him: "Really?"
"Of course!" Kong Xuan laughed. "I would never lie to you."
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from Meng Hongchen's eyes, and then said, "However, compared to this method, I actually prefer to let you all become gods as well!"
