Chapter 181: A Test of Trust and Power

The Cryo Sovereign curled his lips slightly, his expression meaningful.

"Did you not say that the spiritual energy between you and your disciple, Ye Shiyuan, can flow through each other?"

Bai He nodded and replied, "Yes, that is the case."

"Then tomorrow, bring him here. The two of you will cultivate together."

"Let us forget it."

Bai He refused almost instinctively.

If Ye Shiyuan came here, he would feel uncomfortable.

Bai He did not want him to suffer.

Moreover, he had already found a way to perfectly inherit the Cryo Sovereign’s power without experiencing pain.

But the Cryo Sovereign looked at him very seriously. "If I tell you to go, then go. I guarantee that he will not die."

"I will not go."

Bai He clenched his teeth.

If he listened to everything the Cryo Sovereign said, then he would become someone without any will of his own.

Bai He refused decisively and spoke with great seriousness. "Senior, this is a matter between you and me. It has nothing to do with Shiyuan. Why do you insist on involving him?"

"Little boy, if you will not go, then I will go speak to him myself. I believe he will agree to you. Although I have waited for many years and never found the person I was searching for, now that I have found you, you have no other choice but me. Do you no longer wish to complete Sky Cutting Sword’s trial?"

This man is so despicable.

Bai He silently repeated those words in his heart.

"I guarantee that your disciple will remain completely unharmed."

After saying that, the Cryo Sovereign waved his hand, and the surrounding power of profound ice seemed to dissipate.

Bai He looked around in shock. "What are you doing..."

"I have withdrawn most of the profound ice. So your disciple will no longer needs to seal his power to enter this place. Now, can you bring him here?"

Bai He did not understand why the Cryo Sovereign was doing this, but the fact that he guaranteed Ye Shiyuan’s safety and even withdrew most of the profound ice...

This was probably the first time he had shown such sincerity.

If Bai He still refused, it would seem unreasonable, especially since he truly needed his help right now.

"Alright, I will go."

"Little boy, you will not regret this. Everything I do is simply to ensure that you can perfectly inherit my power, nothing more."

Bai He then left.

This time, he returned much earlier than the previous day.

Ye Shiyuan was still cultivating.

When Xu Feng saw Bai He, he immediately ran over. "Master, come quickly and check on Senior Brother."

"What happened to him?"

"Earlier, the Cryo Sovereign came and insisted on fighting Senior Brother. After the fight, it seems he was injured. He has been sitting here regulating his breath and cultivating for a long time."

Xu Feng did not dare to disturb him, afraid that it would worsen Ye Shiyuan’s condition.

But seeing Ye Shiyuan remain motionless for so long, he could not help but worry.

What Bai He had said earlier about his spiritual energy being able to connect with Ye Shiyuan was true.

So he raised his hand and cautiously guided his own spiritual energy into Ye Shiyuan’s body.

The gentle power caused Ye Shiyuan’s brows to relax.

He seemed to sense who it was, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he began to accept Bai He’s energy.

With Bai He’s help, in less than half an hour, Ye Shiyuan opened his eyes.

The discomfort caused by the power of profound ice entering his body also vanished instantly.

Seeing Bai He sitting in front of him, Ye Shiyuan reached out and held Bai He’s hand. "Master, you are back."

"Shiyuan, how do you feel? Are you alright? That Cryo Sovereign actually deceived me, saying that you were fine and not injured."

For Ye Shiyuan, it could not exactly be considered an injury.

It was just that during the earlier exchange with the Cryo Sovereign, he had accidentally allowed the power of profound ice to enter his body.

Perhaps even the Cryo Sovereign himself had not noticed it.

"The Cryo Sovereign only came to give me some guidance. He did not harm me."

Ye Shiyuan spoke plainly, saying things as they were.

He was not someone who would speak ill of others.

Bai He recalled what the Cryo Sovereign had said to him when he returned.

Right now was probably the best time to bring it up.

"When I came back, the Cryo Sovereign withdrew most of the profound ice. He said that when I go tomorrow, he hopes that you can come with me."

This made Ye Shiyuan somewhat puzzled. "Why?"

"How would I know why? I only mentioned to him that your spiritual energy can be guided into my body without causing me any discomfort..."

The spiritual energy that Bai He cultivated was fundamentally opposed to Ye Shiyuan’s.

Logically, such a situation should not exist.

And yet, it did.

"The Cryo Sovereign is probably curious and wants to see whether what Master said is actually true."

"Of course it is true. Why would I lie to him?"

"But Master, you may not know this. The kind of power you cultivate has, since ancient times, never been able to merge with a power like mine that is so purely yang. Even if someone has tried, they have all failed. It was not just failure. They even lost their lives. The consequences were extremely severe."

It was likely that even someone like the Cryo Sovereign who had lived for so long had never encountered such a situation before.

Naturally, he would be very curious and want to see it with his own eyes.

"So that is how it is."

"Master, how about you take me along as well?"

Bai He did not mind.

After all, with most of the profound ice already withdrawn, that place was something Xu Feng could endure.
