Observation Technique.
With the realm conjured through observation, enhance one's cultivation.
Su Yu gradually explored and perfected his skills.
From initially accelerating Martial Soul cultivation, to later revitalizing his vitality, enhancing the body tempering effects of Qi and Blood Power, and finally mobilizing the deeper source of Blade of Living Beings.
In the blink of an eye, two and a half months have passed.
Su Yu broke through to Level 69 in half a month, and in the following two months, his Soul Power surged directly to the peak state of Level 69.
His Soul Power has already accumulated fully, and the next step is to break through the barrier to reach Level 70.
Spiritual Power also grew during this cultivation, strengthening his physique.
Overall, his gains were abundant.
"Hmm?"
Su Yu sensed some movement amidst his cultivation.
In the previous two and a half months, he vaguely detected an extremely chilling aura.
Today, as he paused his cultivation, he felt the icy Soul Power fluctuation more clearly.
"Ultimate Ice?"
Without using Spiritual Power to disturb the other Soul Master here in seclusion, Su Yu headed towards the direction where he sensed the Ultimate Ice.
Possessing Ultimate Life, with his body further tempered by the springs of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, Su Yu's perception of Ultimate Ice was extremely keen.
Frost Town is vast, encompassing a large expanse carved out in the Land of Far North, where Soul Masters find their own place to cultivate alone.
Following his senses, Su Yu proceeded further, reaching the edge of Frost Town, moving closer to the area of the Land of Far North.
"A little girl?"
Su Yu caught sight from afar of a white-haired little girl seemingly awaiting his arrival.
The girl appeared to be about eight or nine years old, exquisitely featured, entirely unaffected by the icy landscape, harmonizing perfectly with her surroundings.
It seemed she indeed belonged to this world of ice and snow.
Ultimate Ice, a human little girl.
And the Soul Power fluctuation of over Level 40.
A thought flashed in Su Yu's mind.
"Could this be the Snow Empress?"
During the Soul Fighting Competition, Su Yu hadn't found the Snow Empress' Embryo and had attributed it to multiple factors leading to auction adjustments, with many combined auctions retrieving the Snow Empress' Embryo by the Ninth-Level Soul Guide.
But now, it seemed the issue wasn't his.
Instead, it was an issue with that Ninth-Level Soul Guide.
The Ninth-Level Soul Guide failed to seal the Snow Empress in the God-Sealing Platform and missed the chance for the Snow Empress to transform.
The Snow Empress successfully transformed and started cultivation, now having reached the Soul Sect realm.
"Ultimate Life?"
The Snow Empress looked at Su Yu, somewhat hesitantly, and asked.
Her voice was clear, carrying a hint of coldness and pride, yet not unpleasant.
The little girl completely lacked the demeanor of a typical human girl of eight or nine years.
Su Yu roughly confirmed his assumption.
Moreover, Elder Yi's conclusion also affirmed his judgment.
"This girl's body has an energy seal, similar to that boy, Huo Yuhao, but the difference is that the girl's energy seems originally hers."
Su Yu discussed the Soul Beast transformation ability with Elder Yi in the Sea of Spirit.
Elder Yi observed again, indeed noticing a difference.
"So, she really is a transformed Soul Beast, and before transformation, definitely more than just a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"Who are you?" Su Yu discussed in the Sea of Spirit with Elder Yi while simultaneously counter-questioning the Snow Empress after her inquiry.
"Are you a transformed Soul Beast?"
Since she's transformed, there's not much to fear anymore.
Although the Snow Empress' transformation might be special, possibly leveraging her original energy, it surely came with a cost.
So Su Yu wasn't afraid for the time being.
Exposing her identity also facilitates future interaction.
"Hmm?"
The Snow Empress' pupils slightly shrank.
Despite suppressing her Soul Beast aura, this human could actually sense it?
Is this the ability of Ultimate Life?
The Snow Empress naturally believed Su Yu recognized her because of his Ultimate Life ability.
She was just mildly surprised at Su Yu recognizing her transformed Soul Beast identity but was not angered.
It was she who exposed the aura and lured Su Yu over this time.
Naturally, she had her own motives.
Accidentally revealing her identity wasn't something to fear.
Backed by the Land of the Far North, with the power to unseal her strength anytime, she wasn't worried about getting hunted.
Just that the cost was somewhat high and transformation might fail because of it.
"You don't need to be too cautious. I'm not interested in you. As you sensed, my attribute is Life; Ultimate Ice doesn't affect me much."
Su Yu spoke to stabilize the Snow Empress' emotions.
"By the way, are you a transformed Soul Beast from the Land of the Far North?"
He began asking some details for easier communication later.
"I am the Snow Empress."
The Snow Empress was very straightforward, direct, without beating around the bush, stating her name directly.
Su Yu's face stiffened for a second and quickly returned to normal, continuing the conversation with the Snow Empress.
"You intentionally released the Ultimate Ice aura, right? What's your reason for luring me here?"
"Your Martial Soul Attribute should be Ultimate Life. I want you to assist me in my cultivation."
"..."
After a brief exchange, Su Yu understood the Snow Empress' request.
She wanted him to use Ultimate Life to help her grow quickly, thereby rapidly enhancing her power.
A transformed Soul Beast in human form needs constant interaction with humans to mature; she could endure this, but Su Yu's arrival prompted her to desire a faster approach.
The Snow Empress could repay Su Yu with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures acquired over her long life.
