Chapter 157: Ice Empress: Damn You, Yun Yuan! This Empress Isn't Done With You!
The Angel God, tens of thousands of years ago, eradicated fallen soul masters and gathered the faith of the Douluo Continent.
In doing so, she created a first-class god position.
As for the Sea God, he spent a thousand years conquering the seas.
With that faith power, he not only created a first-class god position but also forged an ultra divine artifact.
With so many sources of faith at his disposal, there was no reason Yun Yuan could not create a God King position.
Douluo Star was an extremely special plane. Even after becoming a God King, Tang San remained covetous of Douluo Star.
He wished nothing more than to turn Douluo Star into his own private garden, which showed just how precious it truly was.
However, before establishing the Spirit Pagoda, Yun Yuan first had to develop the upgraded Spirit Soul Method.
Thus, over the following period, Yun Yuan entered seclusion to research the upgraded Spirit Soul Method.
His cultivation had already reached the Limit Douluo level, allowing him to gain a preliminary understanding of Douluo Star's laws.
He also possessed tenfold comprehension and the wisdom domain.
This was Yun Yuan's confidence, giving him the ability to research any novel phenomenon within the Douluo Continent.
Two months later.
Inside the soul tool laboratory.
After two full months of relentless research,
Yun Yuan finally completed the upgraded Spirit Soul Method.
"Hard work really does pay off. It's finally done."
Yun Yuan's excited voice echoed through the laboratory.
Immediately afterward,
With a thought, the figures of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress appeared beside him.
"Mmm~ Yun Yuan, why did you pull Xue'er and me out here?"
Rubbing her slightly sleepy eyes, the Ice Empress spoke with an unhappy expression.
If Yun Yuan failed to provide a satisfactory explanation, she wouldn't hesitate to punish him!
"Ice Empress, I've developed a new method that benefits you as well. That's why I brought you both out."
Yun Yuan paid no attention to the Ice Empress's resentful tone. Instead, he enthusiastically shared the upgraded Spirit Soul Method he had developed.
"A method that benefits us too? Yun Yuan, what have you researched this time?"
Snow Empress interjected.
Over this period, as his spirit souls, they had witnessed Yun Yuan's talent and comprehension better than anyone else.
"Well, it's an upgraded version of the Spirit Soul Method. I can apply it to the bond between us."
"This upgraded Spirit Soul Method allows you to cultivate independently and possess a cultivation speed no slower than that of human soul masters."
"Not only that, even if I were to fall in the future, you two, as spirit souls, would not die. Instead, you would separate from me."
"And all the cultivation you gained while serving as my spirit soul would remain with you."
"So, what do you think of my upgraded Spirit Soul Method?"
Yun Yuan explained cheerfully.
During the time Ice Empress and Snow Empress had served as his spirit souls, he had long since come to regard them as companions.
If there was a way, he naturally did not wish for their lives to be completely tied to his own.
"Yun Yuan, this method could truly create an opportunity for peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts."
After hearing his explanation, Snow Empress, once the ruler of the Extreme North, immediately realized the value of the method.
If Yun Yuan's upgraded Spirit Soul Method could spread throughout the world, humans and soul beasts could become partners in the future.
Soul masters could continue cultivating through the soul rings provided by soul beasts while fighting alongside them to increase their combat power.
As for soul beasts, they could become spirit souls through soul masters and accelerate their own growth.
"That's right, Snow Empress. My purpose in creating this method was precisely to allow humans and soul beasts to coexist peacefully."
Seeing Snow Empress immediately understood the core purpose; Yun Yuan openly admitted his original intention.
"Wow, Yun Yuan, you're amazing."
Even the prideful Ice Empress did not hold back her praise this time.
Originally, she hadn't thought about the human-soul-beast relationship.
But after hearing Snow Empress's explanation,
She finally understood the true significance of this upgraded Spirit Soul Method.
"Without further delay, I'll begin upgrading the spirit soul contracts between us right now."
After speaking, Yun Yuan immediately activated the upgraded Spirit Soul Method he had spent the last two months developing.
Pure white soul power condensed at his fingertips, drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth.
Chains of laws linked Yun Yuan with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
Immediately afterward,
Through those chains, Yun Yuan began modifying the spirit soul contracts between himself and the two Empresses.
At the same time,
Ice Empress and Snow Empress also sensed changes within themselves.
The first change was their cultivation speed. Their independent meditation speed far surpassed what they had possessed as soul beasts.
The second change was that their connection to Yun Yuan gradually weakened.
As for the reason behind this weakening, both Ice Empress and Snow Empress had already guessed it.
Their lives were no longer bound to Yun Yuan at every moment.
After a long while,
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked toward Yun Yuan.
"Yun Yuan, thank you."
Yun Yuan regarded them as companions, and they felt the same way toward him.
From the moment they formed the spirit soul contract, they were destined to become close friends on each other's cultivation journeys.
As time passed, their relationship and bond would only deepen.
Seeing the Ice Empress sincerely thank him, Yun Yuan couldn't resist teasing her.
"Hehe, Ice Empress, if you're thanking me, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
"How about this? For the next month, whenever I give the order, you'll serve me tea and water and give me a full massage package while you're at it."
"You can express your gratitude that way. What do you think?"
Yun Yuan looked at the Ice Empress with interest, a grin on his face.
"Thank you, my foot!"
"Yun Yuan, give you an inch, and you take a mile. A massage package? Fine, now this Empress will let you experience my massage package!"
The moment Ice Empress finished speaking,
Her one-and-a-half-meter-tall body shot into the air, her foot kicking straight toward Yun Yuan's kidney region.
"Ice Empress, haven't I told you before? Don't kick people in the kidneys!"
Seeing this, Yun Yuan quickly reached out and grabbed Ice Empress's little foot, stopping it from reaching its target.
"Mmm~ Yun Yuan, let go~."
The instant Yun Yuan grabbed her foot, all the strength drained from the Ice Empress's body. She weakly pleaded with him.
Snow Empress watched from the side with great amusement.
In her eyes, Yun Yuan was practically the Ice Empress's natural nemesis.
Ever since the Ice Empress met Yun Yuan, the number of times she had lost her composure exceeded the total from the past hundreds of thousands of years combined.
Most importantly, she had no way of dealing with him.
She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't out-stubborn him.
Yun Yuan completely had her under control.
"You want me to let go? Ice Empress, every time you ignore my advice, let's see how I teach you a lesson this time."
The smile on Yun Yuan's face widened.
Immediately, his spiritual power transformed into a feather to tickle her feet.
The moment she saw Yun Yuan's expression and the feather in his hand,
The Ice Empress instantly sensed danger.
"Yun Yuan, don't you dare... mmm~"
A few minutes later, inside Yun Yuan's spiritual sea.
The moment the Ice Empress returned there, her entire body went limp as she collapsed onto the ground.
"Damn you, Yun Yuan! This empress isn't done with you!"
