Shui Wuya's pupils contracted for a moment but quickly returned to calmness.

To think that there was even a 100,000-year-old immortal grass here, one that had gained sentience.

The Ice Secret Realm had brought him so many surprises.

"Hey, the chosen one?" Octagon looked at Shui Wuya, who was lost in thought, feeling very confused.

Approaching the speaking immortal grass, Shui Wuya squatted down to observe carefully. The icy blue patterns were outlined on every part of the immortal grass, emitting a tempting fragrance.

The temptation of the 100,000-year-old immortal grass was significant for him, as he shared the same Extreme Ice attribute.

"What are you doing! I have a covenant with the Ice God," the immortal grass was startled.

"A covenant? What covenant?" Shui Wuya asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask from the beginning, what does the covenant with the Ice God have to do with me?"

Although this place was called the Ice God's Secret Realm, the Ice God was just an excuse he gave to explain to Shui Bing'er and the Academy.

Could it be that Shui Bing'er truly ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago? Or did she make a covenant with this immortal grass in the name of the Ice God?

"The Ice God is the Ice God, huh? The Ice God told me that, after ten thousand years, humans who come here, as long as they follow him, I can travel the world and see many landscapes."

For an immortal grass, ever since gaining consciousness, it had been rooted here and had never seen the outside world's scenery.

100,000-year-old spirit beasts could go wherever they wanted, but immortal grass couldn't.

Unless it abandoned its original form and transformed into a human form, it couldn't travel the world.

However, doing so was equivalent to giving up everything it currently possessed.

Most spirit beasts wouldn't make such a choice unless they were desperate.

"You don't have to worry about that. The Ice God has already arranged it for you. Let me become your soul spirit, and you can take me to see the world," Octagon said.

Soul spirit!

Shui Wuya wanted to say more, but the immortal grass was already too impatient.

It had spent far too long in this cold cave and couldn't endure it any longer.

With no one to talk to and only able to see the starry sky through the hole in the ceiling every day, it made it extremely envious.

Now that the chosen one had appeared, according to the covenant with the Ice God, all it needed to do was become Shui Wuya's soul spirit, and it could leave this place.

Furthermore, it could meet the Ice God again in the future, which was the best thing ever.

The immortal grass in front of Shui Wuya burst into dazzling blue light, like the night sky, enveloping Shui Wuya's body.

A vast chill poured into Shui Wuya's body. The original form of the immortal grass had disappeared, leaving behind only an illusory phantom of the immortal grass.

The tiny phantom of the immortal grass, freed from the constraints of the earth, fell onto Shui Wuya's shoulder with a tap.

"Accept my power properly. Be careful not to burst. Although the Ice God taught me how to do it, this is also my first time," Octagon said.

At this point, Shui Wuya couldn't say anything. He could feel that he could refuse this ceremony, but if he did, it would cause irreversible damage to the immortal grass.

Indeed, he hadn't figured out what this ceremony was all about yet, and the actions of the immortal grass were like forcing him into a situation where he was at the mercy of others, which made Shui Wuya, who liked to be in control of everything, very uncomfortable.

The chill entered Shui Wuya's body and was quickly accepted and assimilated by his soul power.

A large amount of pure power entered his body, and the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul involuntarily appeared, with three yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings floating above it.

Star Anise's pure power gathered together, condensing into a brand new soul ring.

The pure ice blue power converged into a ring shape. The moment the ring formed, the ice blue color instantly turned blood red.

A fierce and brutal aura burst out. At this moment, Shui Wuya didn't seem like a human soul master but rather a cold-blooded soul beast.

The 100,000-year-old immortal grass itself is not stained with blood, but he is 100,000 years after all.

The blood-red soul ring looked completely out of place compared to Shui Wuya's previous three yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings.

"Ayo, it worked! How does it feel?" A small grass, mimicking a human appearance, looked around. Its leaves occasionally passed through Shui Wuya's neck, giving him a chilly sensation even though it didn't have a physical form.

"You didn't even ask for my opinion..." Shui Wuya reached out and flicked the small grass on his left shoulder. It was clearly illusory, yet his hand unexpectedly made contact.

"Hmph, the Ice God said that you can definitely handle it. And she even taught me how to seal my own soul power. Although she gave you a 100,000-year soul ring, as long as you can withstand a ten thousand year soul ring, there's no problem at all," Octagon said in a self-satisfied tone.

"Do you know that for a normal soul master with only one martial soul, choosing a ten thousand year soul ring for the fourth soul ring would cause them to explode and die?" Shui Wuya checked his body and found himself unharmed.

"Cough, cough, how would I, a mere immortal grass, know what the human limit is? You were chosen by the Ice God, so naturally, I think you can handle it," Octagon replied.

Octagon hopped from Shui Wuya's left shoulder to his right, bouncing around. Shui Wuya couldn't help but grab him and put him on the ground.

Then, he sat cross-legged, seizing the time to stabilize his cultivation.

When Shui Wuya opened his eyes again, his soul power had reached level forty-three.

The soul ring itself didn't feedback much soul power to him. According to Octagon, it was because he had sealed off his soul power, and it would gradually feed back to him over time.

"Are you okay? Are you okay?" Seeing Shui Wuya come to, Octagon quickly transmitted a message to him.

Shui Wuya understood the content of the message and was astonished.
