But Huo Yuhao was different. He was a peerless genius of the Douluo Continent. As long as he remained alive, he would inevitably beco a powerhouse that no one could overlook in the future. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had a comndable character, and helping a genius like him would undoubtedly yield great rewards. Based on what Jing Hongchen knew of Huo Yuhao, he was not an ungrateful person. If he extended his aid now, there would certainly be returns in the future. Even if Huo Yuhao couldn't beco his grandson in law, both he and the Hongchen family could still gain significant benefits from him.
Huo Yuhao took a step forward and said to Luan Feng, "The rare tals we extract should naturally be prioritized for crafting soul tools for the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion. After all, mining is no easy task. The Fire Phoenix Legion deserves compensation for their efforts."
The Sun Moon Empire usually did not lack rare tals, but their prices were quite high. However, warti was a different story. In the original work, after the Sun Moon Empire launched its war across the Douluo Continent, its reserves of rare tals actually fell into shortage. Juzi even personally led a team to the outskirts of the Extre North to mine resources.
From Huo Yuhao's personal perspective, he did not urgently need the rare tals of the Extre North. Given Kong Deming's regard for him, he had no shortage of resources. Additionally, so mbers of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion had already obtained spirit souls and, under Juzi's guidance, joined the Spirit Pagoda. This ant there was a high chance the Fire Phoenix Legion would eventually fall under his influence, so he didn't mind offering them so benefits in advance.
Luan Feng smiled. "Huo Yuhao, once we arrive in the Extre North, our Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion will spare no effort in mining."
The Extre North.
Cold winds cut like blades as snow fell heavily, turning the world into a vast expanse of white. This place was rarely touched by humans; only the soul beasts of the Extre North were accustod to this frozen landscape.
Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen, and Luan Feng arrived at the outskirts of the Extre North. If one were to look down from above the clouds, they would see three small black dots flying through the sky.
Huo Yuhao wore extrely light clothing, not even bringing a specially crafted thermal soul tool. But for him, this was natural. With his Ultimate Ice martial soul, his resistance to the cold was unparalleled. The icy winds and snow had no effect on him.
At this mont, two powerful spirit souls in his spiritual sea were feeling joyful.
The Ice Empress murmured, "Finally, we've returned to the Extre North. Yuhao, I want to visit my clan and arrange a few things. Last ti, I left in such a hurry that I didn't even have ti to choose a successor."
As one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extre North, the Ice Empress was not only a formidable Ice Jade Empress Scorpion but also the leader of her species. Now that she was committed to following Huo Yuhao to beco a god, she naturally needed to select a new leader for the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.
"Alright, Ice Empress, once we find the right mont, you can summon your kind and take care of your matters," Huo Yuhao responded.
"Mm," Ice Empress acknowledged.
However, the Snow Empress had a different opinion. "Bing'er, I think we should gather all the soul beasts of the Extre North. Now that I've chosen to follow Yuhao in his path to godhood, there is no turning back. After ruling as the foremost of the Three Heavenly Kings for so many years, I must ensure the soul beasts here have a strong leader to protect them from external threats."
"Are you thinking of choosing the Ice Bear King?" Ice Empress speculated.
The Snow Empress sighed. "I can't choose him. He's indeed very close to and quite powerful, but he's too simple minded. Compared to the more ferocious soul beasts, he's at the other extre. I will most likely select the Titan Snow Demon King. Unlike Xiao Bai, he is far more cunning and experienced. Letting him beco the ruler of the Extre North would be beneficial for the soul beasts here."
After saying this, she fell silent for a mont before turning to Huo Yuhao's spiritual form. "Yuhao, while I won't make Xiao Bai the ruler of the Extre North, I do want him to beco your spirit soul."
The Snow Empress's reasoning was simple. Given the Ice Bear King's current strength, it was highly likely he wouldn't survive his next tribulation. Rather than letting him perish under heavenly judgnt, it would be better for him to join the divine ascension plan.
"Alright, but I'll need to find the right mont for you to summon the soul beasts," Huo Yuhao agreed without hesitation. As a soul master, he would never refuse a powerful soul beast like the Ice Bear King as his spirit soul.
However, he was also planning to discuss recruiting more soul beasts with the Snow Empress. He hoped to make the Extre North a key base for the Spirit Pagoda.
"Truly an extraordinary Ultimate Ice martial soul." Nearby, Jing Hongchen watched Huo Yuhao in his thin attire and couldn't help but feel envious.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, he was dressed in thick, insulated clothing and carried a thermal soul tool to resist the cold. Even as a Titled Douluo, he had no intention of facing the harsh environnt unprotected. Though the cold wouldn't kill him, he wasn't a masochist there was no reason to endure unnecessary suffering.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao halted midair. Looking down at the snow covered ground, he said, "Alright, this should be the place. We can start surveying for mineral resources and extracting rare tals here. Based on what I glimpsed through the Eye of Destiny, the mines are located in the northeastern part of the Extre North, which is why I led you all in this direction."
"Right here?" Jing Hongchen followed Huo Yuhao as they descended to the ground, with Luan Feng landing beside them.
Standing on the icy terrain, Huo Yuhao chanted an incantation and opened the Necromantic Gate. A wave of eerie, chilling energy spread out.
mbers of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion erged from the gate. The mont they stepped into the open, they were struck by the bone chilling cold, prompting them to imdiately activate their thermal soul tools to fend off the extre temperatures.
Then, they took out specialized surveying soul tools, eager to explore the area for mineral deposits.
Even though the Sun Moon Empire had abundant resources, who would complain about having too many rare tals?
After a while, the surveying soul tools emitted a sharp "beep beep beep" sound an unmistakable signal that rare tals had been detected.
Given the broad detection range of the tools, this confird that a significant amount of rare tals was present in the area.
Many soul engineers began cheering excitedly.
Even Rank 9 soul engineer Luan Feng couldn't hide her joy. "There really are rare tals here. This is incredible! With these resources, the empire's strength will reach even greater heights.
"Yuhao, you are a hero of the Sun Moon Empire. In all my years, this is the first ti I've surveyed an area with such an abundance of rare tals."
