Within the room, a sudden chill surged, freezing the moisture in the air, and an unusual phenomenon of snowflakes appeared inside.

The turbulent soul power stirred up the cold air in the room, creating a blizzard.

Simultaneously, in Shui Wuya's mind, there emerged numerous insights into the practice of the Extreme Ice Heart Technique.

The information was vast, akin to someone practicing the Extreme Ice Heart Technique for decades.

Caught off guard, Shui Wuya could only grit his teeth and organize the newfound memories in his mind while quickly regaining control over his unruly soul power.

Despite only a short period passing, Shui Wuya felt as though several hours had elapsed in the span of an incense stick's burning.

As the storm in the room subsided, his mastery of the Extreme Ice Heart Technique unexpectedly reached the level of consummation within this brief time.

This was a realm that most people could hardly achieve in their entire lifetimes. Shui Wuya had initially anticipated a long period of grinding, yet to his surprise, he achieved consummation so suddenly.

Shui Wuya first examined those memories, realizing that he had merely absorbed information related to the technique.

This particular absorption left him even more astonished.

"So, I've been practicing this since birth?" After accepting the memories, Shui Wuya pondered, puzzled, only to be interrupted by a prompt sound once again.

[Shui Bing'er's fate has changed. You have attained consummate mastery in the Extreme Ice Heart Technique.]

His confusion dissipated as he understood it was due to Shui Bing'er from thousands of years ago.

Shui Wuya promptly contacted the Shui Bing'er from ten thousand years ago, as once again, a sudden change in fate occurred. He wanted to know what Shui Bing'er had done.

"Ancestor?" Shui Wuyan called out.

"Ancestor, what did you just do?"

Seeing Shui Bing'er awaken from cultivation, Shui Wuyan inquired.

"I didn't do anything special. Didn't you teach me the soul power network last time?" Shui Bing'er smiled.

"This soul technique can enhance control over soul power to an unimaginable extent," Shui Bing'er teased.

"So, I had this idea, can such formidable control only be used in crafting soul tools?" Shui Bing'er teased, leaving a cliffhanger.

"So, during this time, I've been experimenting, wondering if I could assist in cultivation through the soul power network?" Shui Wuya exclaimed.

"Are you saying, Ancestor, you succeeded?" Shui Wuya asked, astonished.

"That's right!" From learning the soul power network to now, after investing so much time, Shui Bing'er was delighted to have realized his idea.

"I combined the soul power network with the Extreme Ice Heart Technique, creating a soul power system. By adjusting the soul power within me, I can now automatically cultivate the Extreme Ice Heart Technique for twenty-four hours," Shui Bing'er explained.

Hearing this, Shui Wuya was stunned by Shui Bing'er's actions. It was akin to Shui Bing'er providing himself with an enhancement.

"Twenty-four hours of automatic cultivation means that Shui Bing'er will spend more than double the time cultivating compared to others," Shui Wuya realized.

"For any diligent soul master, spending half a day on cultivation alone is impressive. Yet, Shui Bing'er is constantly in a state of cultivation, whether eating, sleeping, or doing anything else," Shui Wuya marveled, thinking his own ideas were ample, but Shui Bing'er seemed to outdo him in inventiveness.

"Not only that, according to my idea, this system can be constructed not only within one's own body," Shui Bing'er continued. "I can use the soul power network to construct the same automatic cultivation model within someone else's body, accelerating their cultivation."

"Even a baby, as long as this model is constructed within their body, can cultivate," he added.

At this point, Shui Wuya had a sudden realization.

"I started cultivating the Extreme Ice Heart Technique from birth because an automatic cultivation model was constructed within me," he concluded.

"So far, I've been automatically cultivating for thirteen years, which is why I've managed to attain consummate mastery in the Extreme Ice Heart Technique," Shui Wuya understood.

"Praise worthy, Ancestor. Your talent is incomparable to ordinary people," Shui Wuya praised. "This is a great invention that could change the world!"

If this model were to be leaked, it would completely revolutionize the world of soul masters.

Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, feeling both happy for Shui Wuya's praise and pleased that his invention was being recognized. "Thankfully, if it weren't for the help of artifacts, achieving this would have been very difficult for me."

Even after ending the conversation with Shui Bing'er, Shui Wuya's amazement lingered.

"Attainment of consummate mastery in the Extreme Ice Heart Technique, and passing the first Divine Examination, marks the completion of my first Divine Trial," Shui Wuya began to communicate with the information about the Divine Examination in his mind.

[First Divine Examination of the Ice God passed.]

[Reward: All soul rings upgraded by ten thousand years, a trace of divine aura.]

The information appeared directly in Shui Wuya's mind, and he clearly felt a gentle force appearing within his body.

"Just the first examination, yet the rewards are so abundant?" Shui Wuya was astonished. "This must be another enhancement from Shui Bing'er, right? Normal Divine Examinations wouldn't have such generous rewards."

The divine aura's purpose was unknown, but just by its name, it seemed extraordinary. As for the upgrade of all soul rings by ten thousand years, if it were any other god's Divine Examination, such a reward would certainly come later in the trials.

Shui Wuya's first three soul rings were originally two hundred years each and one thousand years for the third. Under normal circumstances, this configuration was already optimal. However, compared to the fourth soul ring, there was a significant gap.

But after this recent event, all three previous soul rings had become jet-black ten-thousand-year soul rings. Moreover, the fifth soul ring from the Dream Ice Silkworm, had undergone a tremendous leap!

"Shui Wuya, what just happened? I feel like I've broken through to two hundred thousand years!" Dream's excited voice echoed in Shui Wuyan's mind.

Originally with only a hundred and ninety thousand years, the Dream Ice Silkworm's age, after this upgrade, had directly surpassed two hundred thousand years! This was a qualitative change!

Meanwhile, on the other side, under Xuan Lao's arrangement, Huo Yuhao and the others had already arrived in the mountains bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

"The leader of these bandits is said to be a powerful evil soul master. Everyone, be cautious," Ma Xiaotao warned, already prepared for battle.

The enemies were inside the cave, and everyone was on high alert.

During the mission, although Wang Yan was the teacher, he entrusted the command of the battle to Ma Xiaotao, while he led the reserve team.

Ma Xiaotao led the way into the cave.

"Huo Yuhao, expand your spiritual detection range to the maximum, and we'll follow suit," Wang Yan instructed Huo Yuhao after a moment.

With the spiritual detection activated, the situation inside the cave was also observed by the accompanying members of the reserve team.

In the forest, Xuan Lao leisurely gnawed on a chicken leg.

It was just a group of bandits; he didn't need to worry about it at all.

With Ma Xiaotao leading the official team, what trouble could possibly arise during such a mission?

As a disciple of Shrek, he wasn't afraid of trouble.
