The Extreme North

**Chapter 183: The Extreme North**

Since Ning Shuangjiang had already asked, Gu Ziyi naturally would not refuse her request.

He was merely helping her hunt for a Soul Beast personally, which was no big deal for him.

However, even though he was only helping her hunt for a Soul Beast, he still brought Yue Guan and Gui Mei with him when they departed.

Not that he was afraid, but as the old saying goes: "Always be prepared for the worst." (N/E: I changed this line, but this is basically what the original is.)

It would be safer to bring the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi also brought Ah Yin, as her Blue Silver Domain would be very convenient for locating Soul Beasts.

"Ah Yin, just find those evil Soul Beasts that like to slaughter others indiscriminately, as long as they are suitable for Shuangjiang to absorb!"

That was what he told her when he invited her to join.

"Alright, don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely help Shuangjiang find a suitable Soul Beast!"

Ah Yin had no objections to this at all.

After hearing that Gu Ziyi still cared about her feelings, she felt warm inside.

Ning Shuangjiang's Martial Soul is ice-attributed, so the Soul Beast that best suits her is naturally one with an ice attribute.

However, there were relatively few ice-attributed Soul Beasts in the forest, especially those with a cultivation level of around 50,000 years, which were even rarer.

Perhaps due to some misfortune, Gu Ziyi and Ning Shuangjiang searched through two Soul Beast forests in succession but failed to find a suitable one.

It wasn't that they couldn't be found—rather, they simply didn't exist there.

"It seems that if we want to find a suitable Soul Beast, we'll have to go to the Extreme North!"

After leaving the second Soul Beast forest, Chrysanthemum Douluo made a suggestion.

"Then let's go to the Extreme North!"

Gu Ziyi immediately made the decision.

Ning Shuangjiang was somewhat touched when she heard his decision. If they were to go to the Extreme North, it would take a long time to travel there and back.

Because the Extreme North was very far away!

However, since her beloved had said so, she certainly wouldn't refuse and happily accepted his kindness.

"Ah Yin, in the Extreme North, will you still be able to use your Blue Silver Domain?"

On the way to the Extreme North, Gu Ziyi asked Ah Yin this question.

He asked because even Blue Silver Grass struggled to survive in the Extreme North.

In places not covered by Blue Silver Grass, her Blue Silver Domain is greatly weakened.

"Your Highness, it's not a problem. Even in the Extreme North, my Blue Silver Domain can still be used!"

"There are also Blue Silver Grass seeds in the Extreme North. I can use my identity as the Blue Silver Emperor to make them grow quickly in a short period!"

Ah Yin said with a smile.

"Well, if that's the case, then this will be much easier!"

"I know there are many soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old in the Extreme North. Ah Yin, please see if you can find them. If you can, we can continue trying to cooperate with their kind!"

"Although Shuangjiang does not have the qualifications to become a god, I do. When I become a god, I will definitely take all my women to the Divine Realm. So being bound to my woman means being bound to me!"

Hearing Ah Yin confirm that her domain could still be used even in a desolate place, Gu Ziyi nodded and slowly spoke about the previous cooperation proposal with two soul beasts.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ah Yin did not oppose it when she heard him.

Now she realized that cooperating with Gu Ziyi was indeed a shortcut for soul beasts to ascend to the Divine Realm.

She still had great confidence that he could reach the god level.

Because Bibi Dong had already received the divine inheritance trial from the God of Shura.

They believed that with Gu Ziyi's talent, there was still a great chance for him to reach the god level in the future!

When they learned that Bibi Dong had received the divine inheritance trial from the God of Shura, everyone was very surprised, especially the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts who had transformed into humans.

Of course, some were even more shocked.

Especially Xiao Wu and Su'e.

Because Da Ming and Er Ming, who had a close relationship with them, had sacrificed themselves to Bibi Dong.

Now that Bibi Dong had obtained the divine inheritance trial from the God of Shura, as long as she passed the trial, she would become the next Shura Goddess, and Da Ming and Er Ming would be able to ascend to the Divine Realm with her.

Before, they had been forced to cooperate with Gu Ziyi. Although they believed she had a great chance of reaching the god level, it was only a possibility.

Now that Bibi Dong had received the divine inheritance trial from the God of Shura, it was no longer just a possibility but a certainty—unless she failed the trial.

So, Gu Ziyi and the others set out for the Extreme North.

…

Ten days later, they all arrived at the Extreme North.

However, they had just arrived in the Extreme North, which was a vast area.

All they could see was an endless expanse of white, with ice and snow everywhere, making it very difficult to distinguish any other colors.

Ah Yin did not use the Blue Silver Domain as soon as she entered the Extreme North. Instead, she waited until she had ventured deep into the region before activating it.

"Blue Silver Domain!"

For the first time, she unleashed the Blue Silver Domain, and an invisible aura spread from her body.

"Awaken! My beloved ones!"

She began summoning her kind.

Buzz—

An inaudible voice rapidly spread from Ah Yin's body. With her as the center, the dormant Blue Silver Grass seeds buried beneath the snow around her began to take root and sprout rapidly, responding to the call of their Blue Silver Empress.

Soon, the Blue Silver Grass blossomed in the snow, adding a vibrant blue to the white land.

These Blue Silver Grass seeds would not normally grow in such a climate. They would wait until the ice and snow melted before sprouting.

It was only the call of their Blue Silver Empress that made them grow prematurely.

Since they were growing rapidly in ice and snow, their lifespan would be extremely short.

Despite that, they were more than happy to do so.

For them, it was an honor to grow at the call of the Blue Silver Empress.

And through the expansion of the Blue Silver Grass, the range of Ah Yin's perception within the Blue Silver Domain extended indefinitely, allowing her to begin exploring the Extreme North.

Watching Ah Yin's actions, Gu Ziyi waited in silence.

Rather than searching aimlessly, having her conduct the search was undoubtedly more efficient and faster.

The only uncertainty was whether she would be able to detect any traces of a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

Having a strong detection ability did not mean she could find them easily.

If a Soul Beast was buried deep under the ice and snow, she would definitely not be able to detect it.

'I remember there are three major hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts in the Extreme North. The Titan Snow Demon King, with the lowest cultivation level, has at least 200,000 years of cultivation!'

'The Ice Emperor and the Snow Empress are even more terrifying. One has 400,000 years of cultivation, while the other has 700,000 years!'

'At this time, the Titan Snow Demon King should have only recently reached a hundred-thousand-year cultivation. The Ice Emperor is probably around 300,000 years, while the Snow Empress should be about 500,000 years!'

Gu Ziyi thought of the three fearsome Soul Beasts that undoubtedly resided in the Extreme North and made a rough estimate of their current cultivation levels.

Just like Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, a Soul Beast's cultivation level was not strictly tied to its age. For example, the Snow Empress did not necessarily have a 700,000-year cultivation level just because she had lived for 700,000 years—she might have cultivated for a different period.

The Ice Emperor, for instance, might have cultivated for only 500,000 years or even less.

After all, the Snow Empress was the only humanoid Soul Beast born between heaven and earth, blessed with unparalleled talent. It was normal for her to cultivate for ten thousand years and reach the level of a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

To be honest, Gu Ziyi really wanted to make Xue Di his.

With her supreme ice awakening and her incredibly strong cultivation base, if he could engage in dual cultivation with her, he would undoubtedly gain immense benefits.

Unlike Ning Shuangjiang or Li Chanfei, from whom he gained far fewer benefits than what they received from him, Xue Di's potential was extraordinary.

Of course, if he couldn't get the Snow Empress, the Ice Emperor would also be a good choice.

It all depended on whether Ah Yin could do her best.
