The crimson soul ring appeared beneath Shui Wuya.

A savage and terrifying icy breath spread out, causing the entire cave to tremble.

Soon, the first golden pattern appeared on the blood-red soul ring, weakening its aura. Quickly, the second, third, and fourth patterns appeared successively, completing the Ice Emperor's sealing of her own power.

Once the ritual was complete, Shui Wuya distinctly felt the presence of an additional martial soul, the Ice Emperor Scorpion.

Moreover, it seemed that the Ice Emperor had also modified his sternum.

"Not only have I become your spirit, granting you a second martial soul, but I've also imbued your chest with a soul bone. Be grateful to me," an ethereal figure of a young woman stood beside Shui Wuya, arms crossed, her icy gaze fixed on him.

This was the Ice Emperor, now transformed into a spirit.

For millennia, she had been preparing for this day, rehearsing the ritual countless times in her mind.

Shui Wuya's physical condition exceeded her expectations, effortlessly completing the ritual, while retaining almost all of her power.

Furthermore, having originally only lived for thirty-nine millennia, through the sacrifice, she had successfully broken through the four-hundred-millennium limit.

"Now you should be able to tell me why I have a second martial soul," Shui Wuya prompted.

Having a second martial soul was a very good thing.

The power limit of twin martial souls was twice that of a normal soul master, but Shui Wuya didn't like the feeling of being uninformed.

According to common sense, this situation should never have occurred.

Instead of immediately answering Shui Wuya's question, the Ice Emperor first examined her appearance in the ice.

"You're in the top tier among humans in your transformed state, no need to look," Shui Wuya remarked.

"Besides, now that you're in a spirit state, you can change your appearance at will."

"Mind your own business," the Ice Emperor's expression turned cold, raising her hand to shatter the ice in front of her. "I said the Ice God has paved your way."

"The first spirit you acquired was also arranged by the Ice God. She provided you with the ice attribute second martial soul, but without shaping it."

Shui Wuya was puzzled, "You mean Octagon, but wasn't she only a hundred thousand years old?"

"A hundred thousand years? No, she's two hundred thousand years old. I've seen her tens of thousands of years ago, though back then she had just gained sentience."

"Gifting you the ice attribute second martial soul was the opportunity left to you by the Ice God through her. But it seems that due to your strong constitution, you didn't even notice the change."

The Ice Emperor explained.

Shui Wuya suddenly understood.

No wonder, since Octagon had memories of conversing with the Ice God, it meant that she had gained sentience millennia ago.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang eyes, as one of the blessed lands, any plant growing here for a year was equivalent to growing for ten years.

Octagon had spent ten millennia in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang eyes, equivalent to an additional hundred thousand years of growth.

But the soul ring was only a hundred thousand years old. At this moment, Shui Wuya's confusion was resolved.

The missing years had turned into his second martial soul.

As for why Octagon had such an effect, that would require asking Shui Bing'er.

However, as a deity, having such abilities was within reason.

"Alright, I'll rest in your spiritual world for now. You can leave whenever you want. With the aura of the Ice God on you, most top-tier soul beasts in the Extreme North won't attack you."

With that, the Ice Emperor vanished before Shui Wuya.

He decided to first inform Shui Bing'er, from ten thousand years ago, about this matter.

To confirm this matter. Shui Wuya quickly entered meditation, calling out to Shui Bing'er.

"Bing'er Ancestor!"

Ten thousand years ago, in the room, Shui Bing'er was cultivating, surrounded by a cold icy aura.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, looking puzzled, "Wuya? What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Shui Bing'er was curious.

"Right, there's one more thing." Suddenly, the Ice Emperor recalled, "The Ice God left a letter for someone, asking me to deliver it to the designated person."

Shui Wuya was forced to interrupt the conversation, "Bing'er Ancestor, please wait a moment."

Opening his eyes, Shui Wuya raised his hand, and a well-preserved letter emerged from somewhere in the cave, landing in his hand.

After doing all this, the Ice Emperor disappeared once again.

Shui Wuya looked at the envelope in his hand, feeling a lot of curiosity.

What exactly had Shui Bing'er left for him?

The letter was exceptionally well preserved, frozen to perfection, retaining its original appearance without any effects of time.

Shui Wuya reached out and opened the envelope, and immediately, a divine consciousness surged into his mind.

The scene before Shui Wuya suddenly changed, and he found himself in the room where he had initially conversed with Shui Bing'er.

"Where is this?"

Shui Wuya looked around. The environment was familiar to him, but he knew for sure that this wasn't a vision of the past after he activated his abilities.

"Isn't this where we first met?"

Following the voice, Shui Wuya saw a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Shui Bing'er standing in the room.

Unlike Shui Bing'er, she appeared more mature, beautiful, lacking the innocence that Shui Bing'er carried.

Her figure was also slightly taller than Shui Bing'er's.

"Long time no see, Wuya..." The woman spoke, and Shui Wuya confirmed her identity.

Shui Bing'er, or rather, the Ice God.

"Ancestor? What are you now?"

"Right now, I am a divine consciousness left behind when I departed all those years ago, just to see you and have a conversation with you."

"I've always wanted to see you, but unfortunately, you were born ten thousand years after me. It's been too difficult to meet." Shui Bing'er smiled.

"It seems your abilities have a specific timeline. I'm preparing to enter the divine realm next. Perhaps by then, I'll understand more."

Shui Wuya remained silent, Shui Bing'er's words giving him a better understanding of his abilities.

He wasn't sure what he should say at this moment.

"Ancestor, I..."

"You don't need to say anything. For you, the last time we spoke was just a short while ago."

Shui Bing'er's eyes filled with deep affection. "I really miss you, Wuya."

"I'm glad we finally meet again." Shui Bing'er smiled again, very happy.

"And, this conversation was initiated by me."

Suddenly, Shui Wuya felt that Shui Bing'er still had such a childish side, seeing this as a small competition.

Being able to initiate the conversation instead of Shui Wuya always seeking out Shui Bing'er made her feel like she had finally won for once.
