Chapter 149: Forming the Contract, Ice and Snow Empresses Become Spirit Souls
After the Snow Empress descended here and saw Yun Yuan standing atop the snowy mountain peak, her pupils suddenly contracted.
This human was the human Soul Saint who had escaped from her back then.
"It's you!"
"Why have you come to the Extreme North this time?"
The Snow Empress immediately became fully alert. She did not dare underestimate Yun Yuan in the slightest.
Below, the Ice Empress listened to the Snow Empress's words.
She also realized that Yun Yuan and the Snow Empress knew each other.
Based on her understanding of the Snow Empress, the only human the Snow Empress knew...
Seemed to be that human Soul Saint who came to the Extreme North a few years ago to hunt the Titan Snow Demon King.
Immediately afterward,
The Ice Empress carefully sized up Yun Yuan's appearance.
It did indeed seem similar to what the Snow Empress had described back then.
At that moment, the Ice Empress's heart grew tense once again.
This powerful human wouldn't end up fighting the Snow Empress later, right?
If that really happened, then no matter what, she, the Ice Empress, would protect the Snow Empress.
Just as she had once promised the Snow Empress.
Anyone who wanted to kill the Snow Empress would first have to step over her body!
Seeing that the Snow Empress had arrived and recognized him, Yun Yuan did not keep her guessing.
He raised his eyes and looked directly at the Snow Empress, speaking of the purpose of his visit.
"Snow Empress, I came here today with no intention of harming you, nor do I intend to bring up old matters."
"The purpose of my visit is for myself, and also for a great opportunity for you and the Ice Empress."
"Nothing more. You can come down and listen while I explain."
Yun Yuan's eyes were extremely sincere.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress slowly descended from the sky and landed beside the Ice Empress, standing opposite Yun Yuan.
"Go ahead."
Like the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress chose to believe Yun Yuan's words.
After all, judging from the aura he released just now, Yun Yuan's strength had undoubtedly already surpassed hers completely.
In that case, there was no need for Yun Yuan to deceive her.
If he had killing intent, he could simply attack and kill her directly.
"Ice Empress, Snow Empress, I have created a spirit soul method."
"This spirit soul method allows soul beasts and humans to form soul contracts. Using their own origin, they transform into spirit souls and reside within a soul master's body, providing soul rings and soul skills."
"Furthermore, the spirit soul method preserves the soul beast's independent consciousness. After becoming a spirit soul, the soul beast can continue growing stronger alongside the soul master."
At this point, Yun Yuan released his second martial soul from his left hand, Ultimate Ice.
"This is my second martial soul, Ultimate Ice."
"It currently has no soul rings attached. According to my plan, if you two become my spirit souls, my soul ring slots will immediately be completely filled."
"This will greatly benefit me, and it will benefit you as well. Once I become a god in the future, you two will also become gods alongside me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yuan looked toward the Ice and Snow Empresses before revealing the divine trial mark on his forehead.
"I have already become the inheritor of a god. Becoming a god in the future is inevitable. As long as you're willing to become my spirit soul, becoming divine beasts is practically guaranteed."
"I've said everything that needed to be said. As for your decision, that's up to you."
After listening to Yun Yuan's explanation,
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged glances.
"Xue'er, what do you think?"
The Ice Empress asked first.
To be honest, she was already somewhat tempted by the spirit soul method Yun Yuan spoke of.
Especially after seeing the divine mark on Yun Yuan's forehead, which radiated a divine aura.
Deep down, she had almost already decided to become Yun Yuan's spirit soul.
This human's strength had already reached the level of a god. The only thing lacking was the cultivation level.
In the Ice Empress's view, it wouldn't be long before Yun Yuan truly became a god.
At that point, she could become a divine beast, too.
Seeing the temptation in the Ice Empress's eyes, the Snow Empress hesitated briefly before nodding toward her.
The opportunity to become a god was right in front of her, and the Snow Empress didn't want to give it up either.
Upon seeing the Snow Empress nod, a smile instantly appeared on the Ice Empress's face.
She looked toward Yun Yuan and spoke:
"Human, Xue'er, and I are willing to become your spirit souls."
"But before that, let us go back and say our farewells first. Then we'll return and sign the spirit soul contract with you, alright?"
Naturally, Yun Yuan had no objections.
He looked toward the Ice and Snow Empresses.
"Sure. I'll wait here for you."
Not long afterward, the figures of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress disappeared from the mountaintop.
As the leader of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, the Ice Empress naturally had to inform her tribe before leaving the Extreme North.
Otherwise, the disappearance of their leader would create enormous chaos among the Ice Jade Scorpions.
As for the Snow Empress, she was the ruler of the Extreme North.
Before leaving, she naturally had to pass on the responsibility of protecting the Extreme North to other soul beasts.
If the Titan Snow Demon King had not died, she would have entrusted the responsibility to him.
But unfortunately, the Titan Snow Demon King had already passed away.
Now, the only one in the Extreme North capable of taking on this responsibility was her adopted son, Xiao Bai, an Ice Bear King over two hundred thousand years old.
Half a day later,
On the mountain peak where Yun Yuan waited, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress reappeared.
"We've finished handling everything. Now we can sign the spirit soul contract with you."
"Good!"
Soul power circulated through Yun Yuan's hands and transformed into streams of runes that enveloped both him and the Ice and Snow Empresses.
Immediately afterward,
Yun Yuan spoke to them:
"Ice Empress, Snow Empress, separate a portion of your origins."
"This is a necessary step in the spirit soul method. I hope you understand."
Hearing Yun Yuan's instructions, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress did not hesitate at all.
They began releasing portions of their origins.
Yun Yuan turned his palm over, gathering the origins of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress into his hand.
He began using soul power to integrate their origins into the spirit soul contract.
As time passed, nine blood-red soul rings gradually appeared around Yun Yuan's body.
The first five blood-red soul rings had three golden patterns on them, which were the five soul rings bestowed by the Ice Empress.
The remaining four blood-red soul rings had six golden patterns, which were the four soul rings bestowed by the Snow Empress.
At the same time,
Yun Yuan's left leg bone emitted an icy blue radiance.
This was the soul bone produced by his fusion with the Snow Empress.
Through the spirit soul method, Yun Yuan could precisely control the soul bones generated by the Ice and Snow Empresses.
Among Yun Yuan's body parts, only his left leg bone was still missing.
All other locations already had corresponding soul bones.
Since the Snow Empress's cultivation was much greater than the Ice Empress's,
For the missing soul bone, Yun Yuan naturally chose to absorb the one produced by the Snow Empress.
As for the torso bone produced by the Ice Empress, Yun Yuan intended to bring it back to Spirit Hall and give it to either Bibi Dong or Ye Qingxian.
After some time,
After becoming Yun Yuan's spirit souls, when the Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked at Yun Yuan again,
They couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness toward him.
This feeling seemed as if it were innate.
Immediately afterward,
With a thought, the Ice Empress transformed into a stream of emerald light and directly entered Yun Yuan's spiritual sea.
Not long afterward, the Ice Empress suddenly shot back out from Yun Yuan's spiritual sea.
