Chapter 169: Sacrifice to the Gods
The room where the Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade is located is called the Cold Jade Room. This Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade can prevent all ice-attributed energies from rioting, and prevent the user from running into the risk of going astray. From this aspect, it is also very helpful for Huo Yuhao and his team's actions this time.
That is why in the original historical trend, Huo Yuhao and Ice Emperor thought that they would not encounter any troubles while repairing their faces in the place where the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Jadeite was placed. However, they did not expect that after Huo Yuhao and Ice Emperor absorbed enough energy, the Snow Emperor hidden in Huo Yuhao's body suddenly began to absorb the energy emitted by the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Jadeite.
At that time, Snow Emperor was in a very embarrassing situation because he failed to transform, and the appearance of this piece of ten thousand year old ice jadeite just solved his troubles.
But it brought another bigger trouble to Huo Yuhao at that time.
The ultimate consequence of this trouble was the emergence of the Snow Empress' soul system, but the price was the complete disappearance of Alex, who turned into Huo Yuhao's third martial soul.
But from now on, from Huo Yuhao's perspective, this is actually quite unprofitable compared to buying and selling.
Who is Alex? Is he a god from another world, a scourge of the undead, or a son of light? He represents not only a new cultivation system, but also the resources and information of a world.
In fact, during this period, as Alex's consciousness awakened more and more, Huo Yuhao gradually realized that in the world where Alex was, in addition to the undead system, there was also a knight system, as well as pharmaceutical making, alchemy, weapon manufacturing, and various spells of the light system.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao would rather lose that special third martial soul than not let Alex stay.
With such a god by my side, I feel more at ease no matter what I do.
Before the implementation plan was launched, Huo Yuhao also had to adapt to the environment here in advance, and at the same time, he used this Ten Thousand Years of Ice Jade Marrow to practice.
Over the years, his main body and clone have been practicing at the same time, taking turns to do things. Although he has never taken his clone back, he can estimate that if he takes it back now, his cultivation should be able to reach level 50.
This is a pretty scary number.
It took only two years to go from level 36 to level 50. In addition, Huo Yuhao was using the Ultimate Ice Spirit, which further demonstrated how much progress Huo Yuhao had made.
But at this moment, with the help of the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Jade Water, Huo Yuhao believed that he would be able to overcome this hurdle soon.
"Please keep watch for me. I will practice for a while." Huo Yuhao sat on the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade Bed and began to absorb the energy from it. The Ice Ground and Bid were also silently absorbing this energy.
Electrolux is perfecting its own soul experience, striving to achieve success in one fell swoop.
On the other side, the Grand Master and the Second Master of the Haotian Sect were also discussing Huo Yuhao's matter.
“This kid named Huo Yuhao is really good. He can even let Ice Emperor be his bodyguard. You have to know that 1 years ago, even we didn’t know about the existence of Ice Emperor.”
Looking back at the time 1 years ago, everything seemed like a dream.
At that time, the two of them thought they were the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest and the strongest soul beasts in the entire continent, but they realized later that they were nothing in front of the real strong ones.
After learning the news, Tianqing Niuma and Titan Qu Yuan felt very complicated.
Thinking back to the time when the two of them were kings and domineering, a feeling of shame and anger welled up in my mind.
But fortunately, things took a turn for the better. No one knew what would happen next, and they did not expect that a kind gesture they made at the moment of their death would eventually help themselves.
This made them the envy of all soul beasts and true gods.
"Not only that. This kid is not that simple. In addition to the Ice Emperor with 400,000 years of cultivation, I can also sense that his martial spirit is also very different." The Grand Master said with a heavy face: "If I am not mistaken, it should be the real overlord of the Far North. The Ice and Snow Queen, who ranks third among the ten great spirit beasts."
"Legend has it that he is the first living being in the Far North, a natural creature bred by the ice and snow of the Far North. He gave birth to Xiao Liu. He has the blood of the Ice God. Compared to the Ice Emperor, his existence is even more extraordinary."
“Brother, maybe you guessed the boy’s martial spirit wrongly? Even the Ice and Snow Girl can’t explain it.” The second sect leader retorted.
"The Ice and Snow Maiden is the only one in the entire continent and no one has ever mastered it before. Her martial soul is the Ice and Snow Maiden. And I can sense that the power emanating from that martial soul is clearly the cultivation of a 700,000-year-old soul beast." The great sect master said.
"So what? Even if his origins are mysterious, he is Dong'er's classmate after all, and it seems that they have chosen him. As long as we can ensure that his character is fine and that he treats Dong'er well, what reason do we have to stop him?" The second sect leader retorted.
"You're right." Da Zhou's chief card officer said after the class.
"In fact, I would say the more extraordinary his identity is and the better his cultivation is, the better. Because only such a person can be worthy of Dong'er." The second sect leader added.
"By the way, what is that kid doing?"
"What else can he do? As an ultimate ice martial spirit, what else can he do besides practicing when he sees the Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade Bed?"
"That Ten Thousand Years Ice Jade Bed is a good thing. I haven't used it since I got it, but I used it first." The second sect leader said with a little resentment.
"What you said, if you could use this thing, why would you keep it until now?" The first sect master ruthlessly exposed the second sect master's lie.
"Why can't I use it? I can always use it a little bit." The second sect leader retorted, but did not continue.
"Uncle, you are here. I want to ask, does our family have any other treasures with ice attributes?" Just at this moment, Wang Dong'er rushed in from outside.
"Donger, we do have it at home, but what do you want this treasure for?" The Second Sect Leader couldn't help but ask, although he had already guessed the answer.
"I, I, I just thought that Yuhao had come here with great difficulty. So I have to treat her well." Wang Dong said awkwardly.
"Disciple, our family has many treasures. It doesn't matter if you take them all away, but you must ensure that you are sincere in what you give to him. Is she sincere in what she gives to you as well?" The Grand Master advised earnestly.
"Dad, what are you talking about? He doesn't know my identity yet." Wang Dong'er said shyly.
"So you still can't be sure of his feelings towards you. The only thing you can be sure of is your own feelings, right?" the Grand Master asked seriously.
"Yeah," Wang Dong'er replied in a low voice.
The first and second patriarchs looked at each other and felt something was not right.
My daughter is so naturally beautiful, but it turns out that my child fell in love with someone else first. What should I do?
"Uncle, please tell me if we have it at home. If we do, just give it to me." The Grand Master has lived for so many years, but this is the first time he has felt this way in his life.
That’s not right. Back then, Xiao Wu was both a sister and a daughter to them. When Xiao Wu and Tang San were together, they felt the same way.
Both of them felt helpless as they watched their own cabbages actively move themselves to the pigs.
"Let your second father take you to get it. It's in the third warehouse at the back." The patriarch said helplessly.
"Thank you, Daddy." Wang Dong responded happily, then jumped up and pulled the second sect leader away.
Soon the two men got a lot of things from the warehouse.
Wang Dong held these things in his arms and piled them up like a mountain. The second sect leader looked worried from behind.
"You should be careful. Can't you just put these things in the storage soul guide?"
"Yes, oh" Wang Dong finally reacted.
Two random people came to Huo Yuhao with a lot of things.
“Yuhao, look what I brought you?” Wang Dong happily placed all the ultimate ice treasures he had brought in front of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at the treasures piled up like a mountain in front of him, each emitting an extremely icy aura, and his eyes revealed unspeakable shock.
"These are actually treasures with ice attributes?" The Ice Emperor was also stunned.
Speaking of which, as one of the three great kings of the Far North, Bingdi's treasure inventory was actually not as good as that of human sects. For a moment, Bingdi felt quite ashamed.
But thinking back, the other party is a god, so it seems quite normal.
"Human soul master, if you swallow all these treasures in your family, you will definitely be able to become a seven-ring soul saint within half a year." Bingdi said.
“There’s no need for that. I’d rather not have a seven-ringed Soul Saint like this.” Huo Yuhao said helplessly.
Swallowing treasures to improve cultivation is a very irrational behavior.
Swallowing a little bit of treasure can improve cultivation, but if a large amount of treasure is swallowed, it will cause the soul master's soul power to be weak and unable to improve.
“By the way, Wang Dong, I want to tell you something.” Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong into the room and closed the door.
"Hyotei, please pay attention to your surroundings to prevent others from coming over."
When Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao like this, he thought that Huo Yuhao wanted to do something to him.
"Yuhao, don't be excited. We are still young, so don't do something that will make either of us regret it. When we grow up, I will definitely give it to you." Wang Dong said shyly, covering his head.
"What are you talking about?" Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong in confusion.
"I just want to ask you, do you want to know why you hate soul guides and why you can't use them uncontrollably?"
“Ah, you want to ask this question?” When Wang Dong heard Huo Yuhao’s question, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face for some reason.
Why is it not what I thought?
That’s not right. If it is as he thinks, doesn’t it mean that Huo Yuhao is not a normal man?
Wang Dong’s mind began to wander. If Huo Yuhao hadn’t reminded him, Wang Dong’s thoughts might have flown away.
"Hey, hey, what is Wang Dong thinking about?" Wang Dong came to his senses and found that Huo Yuhao's hands were moving around in front of him.
"I didn't think anything." Wang Dong denied it.
“Did you hear clearly what I asked you just now? Do you want to solve this problem?” Huo Yuhao asked again.
"Can you help me solve it?" Wang Dong asked back, "Then do you know what the reason is?"
"Of course, but I'm afraid you won't believe the reason if I tell you."
"After all, this matter is really unbelievable."
"Look at what you said, how could I not bear it? Just say whatever you want to say." Wang Dong said confidently.
"So what's your impression of your parents?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Parents? My eldest and second uncle said that my parents are from the Haotian Sect. They had to go out for some time because of something. So they left me to be raised by my eldest and second uncle." Wang Dong recited the answer that had been in his mind for who knows how long.
"Do you think this is true?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"I don't know." Wang Dong wanted to answer, "What's so fake about this?" But looking at Huo Yuhao's serious eyes, Wang Dong began to waver.
"Is it that you have never had any impression of your parents in your mind, or that everything about your parents was told to you by others?"
"Do you think that maybe your parents left a long time ago, so others use this lie to comfort you?"
“But all of this is wrong.” Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong seriously and said, “Your parents are still alive, or rather, the couple who gave birth to you are still alive, but it is unclear whether they are your parents or not.”
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion.
What kind of words are these? Aren't the people who gave birth to me my parents? Why is this even a question?
“Because Wang Dong’s existence itself is fake, or in other words, your existence is built on nothingness.” When saying this, Huo Yuhao himself felt a little bit reluctant.
"Yuhao, what are you talking about? I am a living person standing in front of you." I forced a smile and teased Huo Yuhao, pretending to be calm.
“This body is alive and well in front of me, and you, Wang Dong, are also in front of me. But this body is not yours. You have been a fictional personality from the very beginning. A character whose source was constructed from false memories from the very beginning.” There was a hint of pity in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.
For a moment he even didn't want to tell Wang Dong this cruel fact.
"Your parents are named Tang San and Xiao Wu. Yes, they are the legendary Sea God. Your original name is Tang Wutong. You are the child they gave birth to in the God Realm. However, the memory of Tang Wutong was sealed by the Sea God. And the identity of Wang Dong has been false since the God Realm descended to Douluo Continent."
"They deceived you, told you a false life story, and arranged a false origin for you. They made you bear a fate that you should not have, and walked the world as Wang Dong. So when your memory fades, Wang Dong will also disappear from this world."
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him and suddenly remembered a question Huo Yuhao asked him many years ago.
"What exactly counts as a person? A memory, a martial soul, or a body."
Now Wang Dong’s answer remains unchanged.
"It's a memory. Memory is me. Memory is the foundation of my existence. I am me."
Change first and then change
