Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 26: Distribution

The Ice Emperor's words were not wrong.

Even in the original story, the Snow Emperor, after becoming a spirit soul, could consume most of the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Essence by herself, with only nine pieces left, which she turned into an ice crystal bracelet. Now, almost at her peak strength, she could easily consume all of it.

But did Du Qianjue care? Not at all. His ice attribute was already exceptionally strong. Adding more would risk unbalancing his efforts to achieve godhood by integrating all attributes.

"Do you think I care? If it's gone, it's gone. Xue'er isn't an outsider. Even if she uses it all, I won't mind," Du Qianjue said with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

The Ice Emperor was left in dismay.

"Alright, Bing'er, stop talking nonsense," Xue Linglong admonished. There was no way she would hoard everything for herself. Despite the official owner of this place being the female sect leader from above, she regarded it as belonging to her and Du Qianjue. She would ensure to leave half for him.

Xue Linglong looked at Du Qianjue's profile, her eyes full of emotion. She had heard his earlier words and was touched. When the Ice Emperor had first asked, she too was curious about Du Qianjue's response. She never expected him to say she should absorb first, even if she consumed it all.

This was the Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Essence! With her current cultivation at 690,000 years, consuming 30 pieces for enhancement and 15 for crossing the tribulation could potentially elevate her cultivation to 900,000 years. Without a tribulation, this essence could last her until godhood.

To be honest, she never expected such selflessness, especially in the world of soul beasts where sharing such valuable resources was rare. Often, even partners would hide such treasures, leading to fierce conflicts.

"Alright, I'll leave some for you," Du Qianjue said, rolling his eyes. "Xue'er, you distribute them. I don't need them. Leave some for them to stabilize their spiritual consciousness, and take the rest."

"I know you have a method to turn the Xuan Ice Essence into ice flowers for gradual absorption. They only need enough to stabilize their spiritual consciousness. When I become a god, so will they. They don't need the Xuan Ice Essence."

Xue Linglong bit her lip, her eyes gentle as she looked at him and nodded.

"Bing'er, you were initially stronger, so take five. Xiao Bai, take three, and Tianmeng, you take two," Xue Linglong said.

None of them had any objections as this was close to their absorption limits.

"Xue'er is the best!" The Ice Emperor hugged Xue Linglong, her tail entwining around Xue Linglong's long, white legs.

The Sky Dream Iceworm's eyes widened, turning heart-shaped. "Hehe, Bing Bing...my Bing Bing, so cute..."

The Sky Dream Iceworm's infatuation was evident.

"Ahem... Brother Tianmeng, remember your image!" Du Qianjue coughed, pulling the Sky Dream Iceworm back to reality.

The Sky Dream Iceworm shivered, glad that the Ice Emperor hadn't seen his reaction; otherwise, he might have been sent flying again.

"Xiao Bai, go ahead and absorb it. Your mother allocated it to you, so don't hesitate," Du Qianjue said with a smile.

"Thanks, Dad!" Xiao Bai cheered, his chubby body pouncing towards the Xuan Ice Essence.

Xue Linglong pushed the Ice Emperor towards the Xuan Ice Essence and walked to Du Qianjue's side, hugging his waist.

"Are you sure you don't want to absorb some?" Xue Linglong asked softly.

"No, they will feed back to me when they absorb it. Ten pieces are already too many. I don't want my ice attribute to dominate too much," Du Qianjue shook his head.

"Especially since I haven't achieved the mutual conversion of attributes yet. Overemphasis on one attribute could be detrimental."

"But there's still so much left," Xue Linglong sighed. Thirty-five pieces of the Xuan Ice Essence were enough to push her beyond 900,000 years of cultivation, stabilizing at 800,000 years at least.

"Consider it my betrothal gift. Go ahead and absorb it," Du Qianjue grinned and kissed Xue Linglong's cheek.

Du Qianjue savored the kiss, though he wished it had been on her lips.

Xue Linglong blushed and quickly pushed him away, running to absorb the Xuan Ice Essence.

"Tsk, still shy," Du Qianjue muttered.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Xuan Ice Cave fell silent again.

Du Qianjue sat cross-legged, entering a state of deep meditation aided by the intense ice attribute world energy in the cave.

Since the Icefire Yin Yang Well incident, Du Qianjue's development had surpassed his plans, everything going too smoothly.

From Du Bushi's breakthrough to the assistance from Electrolux, granting him the Chaos Dragon King spirit, including fragments of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' divinity, everything was beyond expectation.

With the Ice Emperor, Xiao Bai, the Icefeather Eagle, and the Thunder Hell Vine's spirit rings and bones, he now had an abundance of skills.

Adding the million-year spirit ring from the Sky Dream Iceworm, he had too many skills.

Apart from the Thunder Hell Vine's all-damaging thunder domain, the other four each provided him with over three skills.

In total, he had 15 spirit skills, matching a Titled Douluo with maxed ten-thousand-year spirit bones.

With such a variety of skills—ranged, melee, single-target, AoE, defensive, speed, and life-saving—none were redundant.

But had this violated his initial intention to achieve godhood through the power of his main spirit, relying on himself?

Du Qianjue sat in the icy world, lost in deep meditation.
