"This is the method for me to become your spirit, which the Ice God instructed to tell you. Now that you've learned it, I can go out and play for a while," Octagon said.

Shui Wuya was taken aback. "You can still move on your own?"

Octagon nodded casually. "Of course, I just can't go too far away. But because I'm a spirit now, I can pass through the rocks from directly above to get outside."

"And also, I can share some of my cultivated soul power with you. Alright, alright, if you have any doubts, it's all in the information I just transmitted. I'll go out and play for now."

Octagon disappeared from Shui Wuya's shoulder and reappeared outside.

Shui Wuya could see Octagon running around from the transparent ice layer above his head.

"This spirit seems a bit different from what I remember. Did it get upgraded?" Shui Wuya was now completely puzzled as he watched Octagon running around. 

After receiving the information from Octagon, he finally had a rough understanding.

He could confirm that the Ice God must be Shui Bing'er. Based on her description of the characteristics of a spirit, she created this method of obtaining spirits.

Perhaps from a different perspective than Huo Yuhao, this method of creating spirits produced spirits that were slightly different from the one created by the Tianmeng. They didn't necessarily produce soul bones, but the spirits could cultivate on their own.

This method had its pros and cons.

Shui Wuya felt that this method of creating spirits was better. Similar to the future method of creating spirits, this method was already very mature, and any soul beast of any age could become a spirit.

Thinking of this, Shui Wuya quickly contacted Shui Bing'er.

The scene appeared before him, and Shui Wuya first noticed the environment. It wasn't the familiar room or scenes from the academy, but rather a forest.

"Ancestor, don't rush to capture soul beasts. I'll transmit the method of creating spirits to you." Shui Wuya quickly transmitted the method he had just obtained to Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er had already reached level fifty and had been searching for suitable soul rings.

Shui Wuya knew this, and using the method of creating spirits would obviously provide a much greater boost to Shui Bing'er.

If he missed this opportunity, and Shui Bing'er had already obtained her fifth soul ring, the next time they could use the method of creating spirits would have to wait until level sixty.

So, he was very anxious.

Before Shui Bing'er fully learned the method of creating spirits, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he was forced to end this conversation.

"Although it's not fully explained, it's almost there. It should be helpful." With his spiritual power depleted, Shui Wuya had no other choice.

[Shui Bing'er's fate has changed.]

[Your current identity is Patriarch of the Extreme Family (Down and Out).]

[Affiliated Forces: Xuanming Sect (Prosperous), Tianshui Sect (Hidden), Ling Family.]

Information about the affiliated forces also appeared in Shui Wuya's memory.

The Xuanming Sect was Xu Sanshi's sect, while the Tianshui Sect was the former Heavenwater Academy.

As for the information about the Ling Family, there wasn't much in Shui Wuya's memory.

In addition, Shui Wuya's memory also contained the method of refining pills.

Shui Wuya checked his soul storage ring again, and sure enough, there lay a book titled "Alchemy Bible."

Although the name was simple, it recorded various common elixirs, as well as elixirs that were very helpful for ice attribute martial souls and extreme ice attribute martial souls.

It also recorded the application methods of all the immortal herbs in the Ice God's Realm.

After checking his gains, Shui Wuya saw that Octagon had not returned yet and began to experiment with his fourth soul ring skill.

The 100,000 soul brought two soul skills, and the first one immediately caught his eye.

Absolute Zero!

This was a domain-type soul skill that could form an ice domain around him. Any attack entering this domain would be frozen, unable to approach his body.

This soul skill, combined with the first soul skill, maximized control and defense.

Freezing could freeze the enemy, and the domain could freeze the enemy's attacks.

Combining the two, unless the opponent's strength far exceeded Shui Wuya's, they would only be killed instantly in front of him.

As for the second soul skill, it brought Shui Wuya immunity to most ice attribute attacks, regardless of level! 

"Oh, are you trying out soul skills? How is it? The soul skills I brought you are pretty good, aren't they?" Octagon returned at this moment, his illusory body landing at the spot where his original body was.

"Come here quickly, I still have something left by the Ice God to give you."

"What is it, still being so mysterious?" Shui Wuya approached, releasing his second soul skill, Ice Wall. As it formed, he changed the shape of the ice wall, then crafted a makeshift ice shovel.

Following Octagon's instructions, Shui Wuya dug out a block of ice from the ground, removing the profound ice with his hand, revealing an extraordinary map in his palm.

"This is something left behind by the Ice God, but I don't know what it is," Octagon explained.

Something left behind by the Ice God must be valuable.

Shui Wuya compared it with his own map and found that the location was actually in the Extreme North, deep within it.

He immediately extinguished his thoughts of checking it out right away.

The Extreme North was home to the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North.

The Snow Emperor was probably still in the human world, but the Ice Emperor was definitely real. If he went deep into the Extreme North, it was very likely that he would encounter him.

For safety's sake, it was better to wait until Huo Yuhao made the Ice Emperor his second martial soul before setting out to the Extreme North. This would greatly increase their safety.

"Oh, aren't you planning to go out?" Octagon saw Shui Wuya starting to set up camp on the spot, pitching a tent, and felt puzzled.

"I'll stay here for a month first, and then go out later."

Octagon, who had been eagerly waiting to see the outside world, suddenly felt disappointed. "Alright, alright, I've waited for so many years, waiting for another month won't hurt."

Shui Wuya reassured Octagon for a couple of words, then, after packing up, began to harvest the immortal herbs here.

This time would also allow him to experiment with alchemy.

Turning these immortal herbs into elixirs that could enhance his cultivation was also a good choice.
