Chapter 35 - Ice Phoenix

"What is that??"

'I… have no idea' (Daydream)

Not only Daydream, even Ice Empress and Snow Empress were surprised at what was happening, they also felt a great sense of resonance towards this sculpture.

'Is it strange that I don't sense anything from this sculpture darling??'

"Well, I don't think its that strange instead I think it would make perfect sense if you were unable to feel anything from this sculpture. I think that this is the sculpture…. No, it feels more like the inheritance left behind is related to some Ice elemental goddess. Though according to what you've all told me it was supposed to be the Ice God right??"

'If it is indeed the inheritance of the Ice God then what do you think it would be??' (Snow Empress)

"Well most inheritances give out something related to the gods themselves and the rarity of what is given out on completing the inheritance would depend on how many people are able to obtain this inheritance at once"

'Sounds…. Logical' (Ice Empress)

He then went towards the statue and touched it, and as soon as he did so the ice started to melt and started to flow inside his body. Tang San was startled and upon realizing that the liquid was entering into his body he used all his power he had to resist it from doing any changes to it.

But what startled him was that the Ice went towards his back where the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's Spirit mark was located. When Daydream and the others also noticed it they were about to use their powers to stop it when they heard Tang San,

"Stop! Don't use your powers to stop it, I feel that the liquid is enhancing the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion spirit"

When they heard that they didn't resist the liquid but were constantly observing the changes the liquid was making to Bing'er's Spirit. The usual green colored spirit mark was now glowing even brighter, it also had a blue color on some parts which made it look more terrifying.

Ice Empress and the Snow Empress also felt some changes to her soul after the liquid was completely absorbed or to be more precise assimilated into the spirit. Bing'er's usual green green scorpion tail had a few blue colored tattoos onto it while Xue'er's usual white hair now had some blue into it.

Though there were no definitive changes in Tian Meng his ice essence had been slightly improved, this was mostly due to him not being directly connected to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit.

Tang San was the one who had the most changes though these changes couldn't be seen on his body his control over ice had taken a huge leap forward and even his Ultimate Ice Fire Body was greatly enhanced.

When he was about to check his status regarding the changes he heard a voice from the place where the ice statue was previously located.

"So it seems that it is a human who's able to acquire my final inheritance. Well it seems that this too is fate, greeting boy I am the Ice God also known as the Ice Phoenix God or more like the remaining soul of the Ice Phoenix God"

When Tang San and the others heard that they were all shocked, the Ice God was someone who is considered as a holy being to all the beasts and even the humans in the Extreme North, even if Tang San said that the inheritance might be of the Ice God no one had actually considered that to be true even Tang San himself as no one had ever found the rumored inheritance of the Ice God despite the million years that she had ascended to a higher realm.

Tang San was even more shocked as he knew what it meant to find an inheritance as it would mean a chance to obtain the divinity of the said god who has left behind the inheritance. Forcefully calming his heart he then asked her,

"You said you are a remanent soul but how is that possible?? Didn't you ascend to a higher realm a few million years ago??"

"It was actually a few hundred million years ago that I had ascended, but tens of millions of years ago there was a huge war among the gods, though I can't remember the exact reason as my memory had faded since I am only a soul form now but during that war I was gravely wounded and was near my death so I made a decision to separate my soul from my body and build an inheritance so that I would be able to take the help of my successor to go back to the Divine Realm.

But due to this place being guarded by the Titan and for the fact that not many Ice-type Spirits are there in this world along with many other complications I was unable to find a suitable candidate to even become my priest but a few hundred thousand years ago an Ice Devil Titan was lucky enough to find this place, though he didn't have enough potential I had given him the remaining of my blood to let him grow to be a million year beast. But it seems that he was unable to do so and had died at your hands, even the rate of his cultivation was also really slow. I guess it is due to the fact that the Gods have put up a restriction for Spirit Beasts to ascend the Divine Realm so I had given up all hope and was ready to go into a deep slumber until someone suitable comes along leaving everything to luce once the Ice Devil Titan King dies.

But when I saw you kill the Titan King I was a little enraged and was even about to kill you but when you absorbed the Spirit Ring I could see that you had great compatibility with the Ice element so I changed my decision to give you a chance to obtain my inheritance.

I can only give you a few more benefits before I lose all my powers so you will have to walk along the path to Godhood all by yourself this would be even tougher than the normal God inheritances but it would also come with great rewards later on, so what would be your answer??"
