Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

According to Titan Snow Demon King, the ancient Ice God was a Snow Maiden, which is why he proposed to the Snow Empress and was beaten half to death.

"I'll look for it!"

After glancing at someone, Xue Di left decisively, followed by the thirty-two Ice and Snow Maidens who excitedly flew away to search for the soul beast with the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix.

Although the mythical beasts of the mythical era are all extinct, most of them have bloodlines that have survived. For example, the Titan Snow Demon inherited the bloodlines of the ancient Ice God and the Titan Giant. There are many similar beings, and the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix should still exist.

"I have a fragment of the Ice Phoenix's soul bone. It should be a remnant from a failed tribulation, but the soul power on it is very strong, stronger than that of the Snow Empress and the Beast God."

The Ice Emperor revealed a secret: as one of the three major races in the far north, the Ice Jade Scorpions appeared at the end of the mythological era and passed down many treasures. After the previous generation of Ice Jade Emperor Scorpions perished in the tribulation of lightning, those inheritances fell into her hands, including a fragment of the soul bone of an Ice Phoenix.

"Bring it over here so I can take a look."

Tian Hao replied, while inwardly lamenting that it's better to be born early than to be born well. Although the Spirit Hall is currently the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent, its foundation is far inferior to that of the Soul Beast Clan.

There's no way to compare; these are beings that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and the accumulated heritage over such a long period is truly incomparable.

Although I have traded with the soul beast clan before, they would never offer their most precious items. Even if they gave me some fragments of ferocious beast soul bones, they were all blank fragments whose soul power had been eroded by the power of lightning tribulation, and they had no value other than their hardness.

Now, Hyotei possesses a fragment of a soul bone that still retains the soul power of the Ice Phoenix, its value is immeasurable.

Without saying much, Hyotei flew towards the clan's territory.

She had also studied this Blue Silver Tree, but unfortunately the environment in the far north was too extreme and harsh, especially in the core area.

However, if the Blue Silver Tree could be mutated to adapt to and even absorb ice elements for growth, it could be widely planted in their far north.

Once there is enough vegetation, the soul beasts of their far north will be able to officially develop.

Hyotei was very fast, and soon returned with a bone fragment the size of a thumb, which was the remnant of an Ice Phoenix that had failed to transcend its tribulation.

On the other side, the Snow Empress and the Ice and Snow Maidens were also very efficient. The next day, they found a 100,000-year-old flying beast with some of the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix.

"Flying Phoenix Amidst Condensed Water!"

Looking at the 100,000-year-old soul beast that had been brought along, Tian Hao was surprised, as he was quite familiar with that kind of soul power aura.

The future Shui Bing'er and her mother Lan Luan's martial soul is the Condensed Water Flying Phoenix, a top-tier martial soul with the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix. In fact, Shui Bing'er can even temporarily evolve the Condensed Water Flying Phoenix into an Ice Phoenix when she uses her martial soul fusion skill in the future.

This is one of the closest soul beasts to the Ice Phoenix. Most importantly, it has both ice and water attributes, which is related to the way the Water Condensing Flying Phoenix hunts.

This creature hunts in a similar way to seagulls, diving into the water to catch fish. It can even swim in the water, making it a typical waterbird and a rare bird with aquatic attributes.

Such soul beasts with both ice and water attributes are extremely rare. Because of the interoperability between ice and water attributes, as long as one possesses ice attribute, one will instinctively devour and assimilate the water attribute within their body, and will generally only manifest as ice attribute. This is also due to the perfect restraint and suppression of water attribute by ice attribute.

He had previously considered capturing Lan Luan to extract her martial soul and cultivate the ice and water attribute, but he ultimately suppressed that idea.

After all, one should have some bottom line. If Lan Luan were an enemy, he would naturally not hesitate at all, but the problem is that she isn't.

Now, with a 100,000-year-old Water-Condensing Flying Phoenix, there's another way to play.

"You probably already know why I asked you to come. Don't be nervous. Let me explain my thought process first."

After examining the somewhat reserved Water Flying Phoenix, Tian Hao began to deceive, saying, "Compared to us soul beasts, human martial souls are easier to mutate, and there is basically no pain in the process."

My idea is that you first evolve a human form according to the new transformation method, and then use that human form to possess a Water-Condensing Flying Phoenix Martial Soul based on your original body.

I will then guide the power within this fragment of the Ice Phoenix Soul Bone to merge with your Martial Soul, thereby activating the bloodline power belonging to the Ice Phoenix, evolving the Water Flying Phoenix Martial Soul into the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, and then using the Martial Soul to drive your body to slowly evolve into the Ice Phoenix..."

Tian Hao's idea was simple: to imitate Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul Fusion Technique from the future.

The Water Condensing Phoenix Martial Soul can indeed evolve into an Ice Phoenix through a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Once it is solidified, it becomes a true Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. Using this principle to experiment now should definitely be fine.

Not to mention that he also has a fragment of a soul bone originating from an ice phoenix, which contains not only the blood and qi of the ice phoenix but also a bit of soul power. Using it as a catalyst, he can definitely evolve an ice phoenix martial soul.

Then, by using the martial spirit to drive the evolution of the physical body, it will definitely evolve into an ice phoenix.

Just like how Ma Hongjun continuously evolved that chicken martial spirit into a fire phoenix, all you need to do is copy this route.

"You can do it like that?"

Hyotei's eyes widened in surprise; they truly hadn't expected it to be played like this.

Snow Empress's bright eyes also shone with wonder. This path was very suitable for their soul beasts. Once successful, their strength would surely increase many times over.

"Seriously speaking, this is not evolution, but reversion to ancestral form. Evolution alone has too many uncertainties, while reversion to ancestral form is much simpler. It simply involves fully activating the ancestral power hidden within the body."

Even if the power passed down from our ancestors is incomplete, we can find ways to complete it and ultimately recreate their power.

Tian Hao explained it, calling it reversion to ancestral origins. Although its potential is not as limitless as that of evolution, since reversion to ancestral origins has its limits, and the ancestors are the limit, reversion to ancestral origins is more stable and easier.

Ning Shui Fei Luan was also very excited. This idea was at least theoretically feasible. If she could evolve into an ice phoenix like her ancestor, she could withstand the ninth tribulation and become a divine beast.

The rest was simple. Tian Hao first guided Ning Shui Fei Luan to cultivate a human form. With the experience of the Titan Snow Demon King last time, this time they had to be more cautious.

Of course, Ning Shui Fei Luan is only a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has not been broken through for long. It is much weaker than Titan Snow Demon King. It took a month to cultivate a human form and, with the help of Tian Hao, awakened the martial soul Ning Shui Fei Luan, which was formed from the origin of its body.

"Don't rush to condense your spirit rings and break through. With the help of the rules of heaven and earth, the process of reverting to the ancestral spirit should be smoother."

After giving a reminder, Tian Hao integrated the power of the soul bone fragment that had been shattered by the combined forces of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor into the body of the Water Condensing Phoenix, fusing both its blood and soul power. At the same time, he used his own sword intent and killing intent to suppress the blood and soul power of the Ice Phoenix, forcing it to merge with the Water Condensing Phoenix's martial soul and body.

That ice phoenix must have perished during the ninth tribulation of lightning, and it clearly possessed the ultimate ice attribute, which is not easy to withstand.

Therefore, it must be suppressed, and suppressed on a spiritual level, to force it to merge.

This step went relatively smoothly. Precisely because the martial soul was only in its initial state, it required less energy to revert to its ancestral form, and it quickly fused with the soul power of the ice phoenix.

Using the Ice Phoenix's soul power as a guide, the martial soul slowly changed. At the same time, Tian Hao also guided the original power of the Condensed Water Ice Phoenix to slowly merge into it as the energy source needed for the return to the ancestral form, and secretly intercepted 10% of it in the process.

The evolution of a martial soul is indeed much easier than the evolution and mutation of a soul beast itself. It was completed in just one day. The human form of the Water Flying Phoenix martial soul reverted to its ancestral form as a true ice phoenix and awakened the special power belonging to the ice phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix's special power is the Phoenix Flame, while the Ice Phoenix's is the Phoenix Chill. Both are extremely domineering powers and also have the ability to be reborn from the ashes.

"Although it's not very stable yet, it can be considered a success. All we need to do is nurture it further."

Observing the phoenix-like chill in his palm, Tian Hao gave an affirmative assessment.

After all, it has just reverted to its ancestral form, so instability is normal. It will stabilize with gradual nurturing and cultivation in the future.

With this phoenix-like chill in hand, the transformation of the Blue Silver Tree can now begin.

Walking to the foot of the Blue Silver Tree, Tian Hao pressed the phoenix chill onto the tree roots, while secretly transferring the life evolution ability of the Blue Silver Tree clone in the Dao Palace Secret Realm to this Blue Silver Tree.

Before leaving Wuhun City, he had Ah Yin seal a portion of his life evolution ability within the Blue Silver Tree clone. Originally, he intended to accelerate the fusion of the Blue Silver Tree clone with the ultimate wood attribute originating from the soul power and blood of the Ten Thousand Demon King. Now, he could transfer it to the Blue Silver Tree to carry out a plan.

Just like transferring a portion of life evolution ability to the Nine-Colored Blue Silver Tree back then, there was no difficulty at all.

With the aid of life evolution capabilities, the Phoenix's chill and the Blue Silver Tree's vitality merged smoothly.

After all, Phoenix Frost Qi itself also has life attributes, which is a composite attribute resulting from the fusion of life power and ice attribute power, so the compatibility is not low.

Yu Xiaogang's judgment on Blue Silver Grass was not wrong. It was precisely because Blue Silver Grass was weak that it could not resist the fusion of external forces, and at the same time, its tenacious vitality provided the basis for the fusion.

Of course, it's best to develop in a specific direction, like Tang San under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, who messed around with things haphazardly. Although he would develop in a comprehensive way, he would become a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

It's like an ordinary child who is taught a lot of subjects but can't master any of them, and ultimately won't achieve much. They are not as good as those who specialize in one subject but excel in another.

As for the pursuit of comprehensive learning in one's previous life, it was merely to pass exams. In the future, when one enters society, one will find that most of what one learned is not applicable.

Of course, it's not that that learning method is bad; its essence is to use that method to select true geniuses, which is not very friendly to ordinary people.

The Blue Silver Tree is now integrating smoothly with the incoming Phoenix Cold Qi, or rather, it doesn't resist it at all.

As the phoenix's chilling energy merged with it, it began to devour and assimilate the Blue Silver Tree's life force, and started to absorb the surrounding ice elemental power to grow stronger, causing the Blue Silver Tree's form to change as well.

The original blue tree trunk gradually turned ice blue and emitted a chilling aura.

Once the complete fusion and mutation were finished, the Blue Silver Tree seemed to come alive. Its roots stretched wildly down into the glacier and quickly reached the Xuanbing Marrow Mine below, where it absorbed the power of the mine and grew rapidly.

The tree trunk, originally a hundred meters tall, grew rapidly, quickly reaching two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters...

Finally, supported by the almost infinite power of the Xuanbing Marrow Mine below, the Blue Silver Ice Tree grew to its maximum height of one thousand meters, which seemed to be a limitation imposed on plant species by the laws of heaven and earth.

Although the Blue Silver Tree cannot develop a soul or intelligence due to its congenital defects, it possesses the most basic instincts. It knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and striving to grow is its instinct.

Sensing that the Blue Silver Ice Tree they were attached to had become even more powerful, the ice sprites cheered and danced around.

Even someone as composed as Xue Di couldn't help but show joy at this scene, and felt immense gratitude towards someone.

"Why don't you try using your own phoenix chill to encourage this root to sprout a new blue silver ice tree?"

Using his sword energy, Tian Hao cut off a piece of tree root and gestured to Ning Shui Fei Luan, who had been waiting nearby, to take over.

Obediently taking the tree root, Ning Shui Fei Luan nourished it with the Phoenix Cold Qi of her human form martial soul. The tree root was able to absorb the Phoenix Cold Qi, and then, like a normal tree root, it extended a tender bud.

Upon seeing that patch of icy blue buds, the Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and other ferocious beasts became even more excited.

They had all heard the Beast God say that this Blue Silver Tree currently has no ability to reproduce, and its seeds can only be obtained from the Spirit Hall, making it a non-renewable resource.

However, they now possess the means of cultivation, and although there seem to be many limitations, at least they have the ability to replicate.

Given enough time, it is entirely possible to plant these blue silver ice trees throughout the entire far north. With this as a foundation, the far north will have the confidence to develop its own civilization.

"The task of nurturing the Blue Silver Ice Tree seeds is entrusted to you. Cultivate and improve as soon as possible. Once enough Blue Silver Ice Trees have been cultivated, guide their roots to form a connected network underground. Then, study this and it should be able to develop into a sensory network to monitor the entire far north and prevent enemies from infiltrating."

In addition, you should cultivate the Phoenix Domain as soon as possible, and try to merge it with the Blue Silver Domain of the Blue Silver Ice Tree, guiding the Blue Silver Domain to mutate and merge as well, possessing ice and life attributes. That would be more suitable for our far north.

After confirming that the tree root had indeed begun to grow independently, Tian Hao nodded and handed the task over to Ning Shui Fei Luan, explaining the future development of the Blue Silver Ice Tree before heading towards the iceberg.

During this time, the Titan Snow Demons were also busy, constantly excavating that iceberg.

Although the iceberg was extremely hard due to the massive amount of ice elements gathered there and the connection to a colossal vein of Xuanbing Essence at its base, it was nothing to the Titan Snow Demon, which possessed ice attributes, and it had already carved its way into the mountain's interior.

Watching Tian Hao leave so casually, the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and other soul beasts couldn't help but sigh. As expected of someone with such lofty ideals, what seemed like a big deal to them was probably just a trivial matter to him.

"It's a pity that we Ice Jade Scorpions don't have the bloodline of divine beasts."

Hyotei's expression shifted, revealing a hint of regret.

The Ice Jade Scorpions were originally new soul beasts that mutated, and they did not have any ancestors at the level of divine beasts.

Of course, it's also mainly because their race appeared too late, missing the opportunities of the mythical era. After the mythical era, the tribulation lightning changed, and the most accomplished member of their race only survived the seventh tribulation lightning, similar to the current Snow Emperor.

If they possess the bloodline of divine beasts, they will surely advance even further, and their tribulation will be much easier.

What a pity!

Fortunately, they are talented enough that as long as the danger of the lightning tribulation is resolved, cultivation will not be difficult.

"You've all seen the changes in A Ning. She should cultivate into human form as soon as possible; she won't stay here for long."

Xue Di coldly glanced at the many ferocious beasts and 100,000-year-old soul beasts around her, and gave a reminder.

Their soul beast cultivation focuses more on bloodline. Those who can cultivate to this level will not have bad bloodlines, or they are powerful in themselves, like their Ice Snow Maiden and Ice Jade Scorpion clans.

They either inherit the bloodline of mythical beasts and spirits from the mythological era, like the Titan Snow Demon clan, and this type accounts for the vast majority of powerful soul beasts.

In other words, most of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts today have the opportunity to revert to their ancestral form and evolve. Even if they don't become divine beasts directly, they can at least become more powerful and cultivate more easily.
