The three affiliated forces of the Shui Family, closest among them to the Shui Family, belonged to the Tian Shui Sect.
As a derivative force of the Tian Shui Academy, it enjoyed deep trust from Shui Bing'er and possessed the clearest understanding of matters related to the Shui Family.
The Xuanbing Pool, the sanctuary passed down through the 10000 years by the Tian Shui Sect, held records stating that it contained the power of the Ice God in slumber.
For soul masters with ice attributes, practicing near the Xuanbing Pool would significantly accelerate their cultivation.
However, only the successive elders guarding the Xuanbing Pool knew its true purpose: to sense the inheritor of the Ice God.
The Xuanbing Pool, typically tranquil, suddenly experienced a disturbance today, with its water freezing and forming a lotus pattern inwardly.
The elder guarding the Xuanbing Ice Pool instantly appeared above it, his expression changing drastically.
"Everyone, leave the Xuanbing Pool and go find the Sect Master!"
"The inheritor has appeared!"
...
Shui Wuya was unaware of the situation at the Tian Shui Sect and the Ice God Temple.
At this moment, he had safely returned to Shrek Academy, coincidentally during the afternoon class dismissal.
Passing through the gates, he could see students coming from the direction of the teaching building intermittently.
By the Sea God Lake alongside the road, Shui Wuya noticed a group of people coming from the inner courtyard toward his direction.
On the Sea God Lake, Huo Yuhao happened to be coming out from the inner courtyard today.
"Huo Yuhao, look over there, isn't that Shui Wuya?" Wang Dong squinted his eyes, finding the person on the shore somewhat familiar but not entirely sure.
Huo Yuhao's vision was better than hers; he could certainly see clearly.
"It's him, and he seems to have just returned from outside the academy." Huo Yuhao's once cheerful mood vanished instantly when he thought about the huge gap between them.
Compared to Shui Wuya, he was still far behind.
Huo Yuhao was a genius; Shui Wuya was a monster.
No one could surpass a monster that transcended human limits.
Wang Dong confirmed but didn't continue. Little did she know that her inquiry brought trouble to Huo Yuhao.
On the shore, Shui Wuya strolled, his mind echoing with the voice of the Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Shui Wuya, is the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm inside someone named Huo Yuhao?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Shui Wuya was puzzled, but the Dream Ice Silkworm darted straight out of his spiritual world and headed towards Huo Yuhao on the Sea God Lake!
"I heard it; that's Huo Yuhao, right there!"
"Tianmeng Iceworm, I've finally found you!"
The ethereal form of the Dream Ice Silkworm appeared before Huo Yuhao in an instant, diving directly into his spiritual world!
"Tianmeng Iceworm, come out!" The voice of the Dream Ice Silkworm resounded directly in Huo Yuhao's mind.
A burst of mental power made Huo Yuhao's head ache unbearably. Just as he was about to reach the shore, he staggered and almost fell into the lake.
Luckily, Wang Dong reacted quickly, catching Huo Yuhao and bringing him to shore in a couple of steps.
"Huo Yuhao, what's wrong?" Wang Dong anxiously inquired, but Huo Yuhao couldn't provide an answer; his spiritual world was in chaos.
As soon as the Dream Ice Silkworm entered the spiritual world, it noticed a gray light sphere and a twin-headed dragon lizard crouching in a corner.
The twin-headed dragon lizard glanced at her but showed no interest.
And her cherished Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also in the spiritual world.
"Dreamy? What are you doing here? And how did you become..." The Tianmeng Iceworm couldn't believe she would encounter the Dream Ice Silkworm here once again.
However, before he could finish his words, the Dream Ice Silkworm on the other side had already made a move.
Gathering its mental power, the Dream Ice Silkworm formed a surge and rushed towards the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Are you out of your mind? Mental impact will backfire!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke while hastily forming a defense.
As a million-year soul beast, his mental power was far beyond what the Dream Ice Silkworm could match.
The Dream's mental impact was like an egg hitting a rockery, instantly shattering into pieces.
The body of the Dream Ice Silkworm instantly became somewhat illusory.
However, the residual waves of the mental impact still caused a significant burden on Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.
"Calm down, let's talk things out!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt exasperated, using his immense mental power to restrain the ethereal form of the Dream, suppressing her fiercely.
Though somewhat unexpected, the Dream's tactics had no effect on him.
Meanwhile, outside, Wang Dong and members of the reserve team surrounded Shui Wuya.
"What did you do to him?!" Wang Dong questioned fiercely.
They had just seen a light emanate from Shui Wuya and enter Huo Yuhao's body, causing his current state.
Han Feng sneered, exerting pressure that distorted the air, forcing several people to step back, their expressions growing even more furious.
"Wait, wait! There must be a misunderstanding here. How could Shui Wuya possibly harm Huo Yuhao?" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Xu Sanshi quickly stepped forward to mediate.
The situation reached a stalemate.
However, another light emerged from Shui Wuya's brow and entered Huo Yuhao's brow.
"You!" Wang Dong became even angrier, but Xu Sanshi stood in front of Shui Wuya. "Wait, let's hear what my boss has to say first!"
In the spiritual world,
Seeing that she was no match for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Dream Ice Silkworm hastily sought help from the Ice Emperor.
Both being spirits of Shui Wuya, amidst the conflict between outsiders and the Dream, the Ice Emperor knew exactly where his allegiance lay.
First win the fight, then talk.
"Ice Emperor?" In this short period, the Dream Ice Silkworm was subjected to wave after wave of shock.
"Why is the Ice Emperor here?"
Just as she was puzzled, the Ice Emperor, in his spiritual form, also appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.
At this moment, the Tianmeng Iceworm understood everything; it was as if he had become Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Spirit Ring, and the Ice Emperor had unexpectedly become Shui Wuya's Spirit Ring.
"So, his hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring belongs to you!" The Tianmeng Iceworm couldn't understand why the Ice Emperor could do such a thing, but he had to put aside those thoughts for now and deal with the current situation.
One Ice Emperor, one Dream, two big troubles.
"Tianmeng, what grievances do you have with the Dream?"
"This is an internal matter of our clan. But you, Huo Yuhao, have an unprecedented million-year Spirit Ring. Why didn't you choose Huo Yuhao, but instead followed him?" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm inquired.
"Without your hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, Huo Yuhao's potential is much greater than his!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was extremely puzzled.
The Ice Emperor sneered, creating a blizzard in the spiritual world, forcing the Tianmeng Iceworm to relinquish her suppression of the Dream Ice Silkworm.
Both she and the Dream were spirits; after transformation, their retained strength was closer to their prime. With just the Ice Emperor alone, he could contend with the Tianmeng, let alone with the Dream added into the mix?
