Chapter 258: The Seventh Ice God Trial
Over the course of the year, the cultivation of the younger ones significantly improved under the blessing of the Ice God and the influence of the Sunlight Domain. The little rabbit had already broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, reaching level 63.
Her six soul rings had exhausted all the soul power she had stored in her body, and from now on, she would need to find her own way to get more soul rings. Whether it be through hunting soul beasts or participating in the Divine Trial to obtain a divine soul ring, relying on her own cultivation was no longer viable.
Ye Yin Zhu and Long Nian Bing were also on the verge of reaching the Soul Emperor threshold, while the least cultivated among them, Nami, had broken through to the Soul King realm.
The cultivation of Ning Bei's soul beast team also progressed rapidly.
Da Ming, Er Ming, and Ah Bao had nearly 300,000 years of cultivation each and were about to face their third heavenly tribulation.
Lan Yin Huang and Wang Wang were about to face their second heavenly tribulation.
The only ones suffering were A Zhu and Yao Yao, who were still staying with Qian Renxue to assist her with her plans.
Recently, the little angel summoned Ning Bei to the Prince's Mansion and informed him that the end of Xue Ye should be imminent.
In order to cooperate with Qian Renxue's plan, Ning Bei made a trip to Sunset Town. After that, Dugu Bo announced that he would enter closed-door meditation for several months to break through, and took Dugu Yan with him into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. When they would emerge, no one knew.
After completing all these tasks, Ning Bei returned to the sect to wait for the conclusion of the Sixth Trial. On the 365th day of developing the Ice God Hall, the cold voice finally rang out in his mind.
"Ice God's Ninth Trial, the Sixth Trial, the Ice God's people, establish a force that believes in the Ice God on the continent. The one-year deadline has passed."
"Ice God Hall's popularity: Extreme North: 99% (Adored by all beasts); Continent: 53% (Known by everyone); Ocean: 1% (Little known), Popularity Rating: Excellent."
"Ice God Hall's prosperity: Extreme North believers: 45,224 (beasts), only taking soul beasts over a hundred years old; Continent: 4,692 soul masters, 93,323 civilians; Ocean: 92 (beasts), Prosperity Rating: Good."
"Trial completed, Ice God compatibility 10%, Reward: Ice Heaven Snow Maiden soul ring's age increased by 20,000 years, all soul bones' age increased by 20,000 years, one divine soul ring awarded. Current Ice God compatibility: 60%."
Once the trial assessment was completed, the rewards were directly given. Feeling a rise in his momentum, Ning Bei finally let out a sigh of relief.
The over 4,000 people in the continent were likely all ice attribute soul masters. Over the past year, Ning Bei had visited several Ice God sub-halls and found that some soul masters had successfully reached the 99th-level step, gaining the ability to comprehend the Ice and Snow Domain, greatly increasing their combat power.
The 99% popularity rating in the Extreme North didn't surprise him, since the area was almost entirely inhabited by ice attribute soul beasts.
What truly amazed him was that there were actually soul masters and soul beasts in the ocean who believed in the Ice God. Were they ice attribute soul beasts from the sea?
While reflecting on his trial evaluation, the cold voice of the woman sounded in his mind again.
"Ice God's Ninth Trial, the Seventh Trial, the Ice God's skills. Create your own soul skill. The rewards will depend on the power and quantity of the soul skills created. After creating the first self-created soul skill, the participant may apply to complete the Seventh Trial."
Ning Bei's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected this trial to come so soon.
"So, what do you think, Ice God?"
The three leaders of the Extreme North, eagerly waiting, immediately guessed that it was the Divine Trial when they saw Ning Bei become momentarily stunned.
"Not bad. One divine soul ring, and the age of the soul rings and soul bones increased by 20,000 years."
"And the Seventh Trial has been issued."
"Oh? What is the Seventh Trial, Ice God? Can we help?"
Upon hearing about the reward from the Divine Trial and the subsequent trial, the little loli immediately became excited. She was one step closer to freedom.
"The Seventh Trial is to create your own soul skill for the Ice God. The reward depends on the power and quantity of the soul skills."
"Soul skill?"
"Is it something like the Three Absolutes of Snow Emperor?"
Tian Meng thought for a moment and made her guess, which was immediately agreed upon by the Ice and Snow Emperors.
"Exactly, but I must create soul skills that are both suitable for me and powerful."
"Xue'er, quickly provide some ideas for Ice God, you're the expert in this area!"
After understanding the content of Ning Bei's Seventh Trial, the Ice Emperor turned to Snow Emperor, urging her to share some of her experience in this area, but Snow Emperor found herself in a dilemma.
Her Three Absolutes were developed using her own characteristics and advantages. What suited her might not suit Ning Bei. How could she guide him?
Ning Bei, clearly seeing this, smiled and interrupted the Ice Emperor's urging.
"Alright, Bing'er, don't trouble Snow Emperor. It's best to develop soul skills that suit me on my own."
Surprisingly, after experiencing a time of creative explosions in his past life, Ning Bei had already formed some ideas as soon as he received the Divine Trial.
Without mentioning other things, the Spiral Sphere was one such soul skill. However, its power wasn't enough. He planned to try adding ice attribute soul power to the Great Spiral Sphere and combine it with the Ice Blast technique to see how strong it could be.
For his second soul skill, Ning Bei needed to continue experimenting. The control required for soul power was extremely demanding.
As for the rest, Ning Bei had only a rough concept in his mind and knew it would take considerable effort. At that time, he could try experimenting with Gu Rong and Chen Xin.
Ning Bei went to the Ice God Hall alone and first experimented by injecting ice attribute soul power into the Great Spiral Sphere. The execution of the Great Spiral Sphere was easy, but when he injected the ice attribute soul power, the rotation of the sphere stalled.
"It seems I need to control the characteristics of the ice attribute soul power. I should discard the low temperature for condensation and freeze it only when it's released. Before that, I must activate the Ice Blast technique."
Ning Bei spent two days and nights in the Ice God Hall, and by the third day, he had initially mastered the technique. Excited, he returned to the sect and brought Chen Xin and Gu Rong into the Ice God Hall. Seeing their confused expressions, he revealed his intention.
"Grandfather Jian, Grandfather Gu, I've developed a new soul skill. I want you to help me refine it."
The two finally realized that he was using them as test subjects. However, they didn't object. They were curious about what kind of soul skill their grandson had created.
Once they were ready, Ning Bei handed them two Rebirth Pills.
"Grandfathers, you should hold the Rebirth Pills in your mouths. This is the first time I'm releasing it, and I'm afraid I can't control the power."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong shivered slightly upon hearing this, a bad premonition rising in their hearts. However, they didn't hesitate and quickly put the pills in their mouths.
"Alright, Bei'er."
"Okay, Ice Wheel Sphere, Frostfall Ice Break!"
Ning Bei raised a large soul power sphere above his head. Cold ice mist gradually formed around the sphere, but it wasn't frozen into an ice ball.
"Be careful, Grandfathers."
Chen Xin frowned. Although the technique looked powerful, it shouldn't require two Super Douluo-level individuals to be cautious, right?
Gu Rong glanced at Chen Xin, quickly understanding the old rival's thoughts, and snorted in disdain. If the power was this weak, would Bei'er need to use them as a target?
Then, in the midst of Chen Xin's strange expression, Gu Rong activated his martial soul true body and used all his defensive measures.
