Chapter 256 Alliance
After Yang Podi finished speaking, Xue Di hesitated for a long time, but finally she spoke up: "What's the use of saying all this? How exactly do you want us to cooperate?"
Yang Podi seemed not to hear Xue Di's words. His soul power was circulating rapidly, especially in his dantian and chest, where the two soul cores were spinning quickly, as if swallowing the surrounding soul power like a whale.
Xue Di was stunned by this: "A Yin-Yang balanced dual soul core? How is this possible? How could an ordinary human body withstand such a soul core?"
Yang Podi shook his head slightly: "This is my personal secret. I only showed these two soul cores to demonstrate my strength. At least in terms of combat power, I should be no weaker than Di Tian. Our cooperation should be smoother."
Xue Di also became serious at this moment, clearly realizing that Yang Podi's strength was probably above her own: "How do you want to cooperate with me? What do I have to give up, and what will I get in return?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Our cooperation mainly includes the following aspects. First, you will mobilize all the soul beasts in the far north to help me find the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. If we find it, I will handle the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm; you don't need to get involved."
"Secondly, Tianxing Academy and the Far North will form an alliance. If Tianxing Academy is attacked, all personnel will go to the Far North. Your soul beast race will need to assist in covering them. Of course, I can also promise to protect a few of you, especially after Tianyue and I become gods. We will also protect you, and even the entire Far North."
"Third, I will try my best to treat your injuries or find other ways to save you and help you escape the tribulation that will last for the next 700,000 years."
Everyone was puzzled by the condition. Whether it was Yang Wudi and others behind Yang Podi, or Xue Di and her group, no one expected Yang Podi to make such a promise.
Xue Di asked hesitantly, "How can you be sure you'll keep your promise?"
Yang Podi shook his head slightly: "As the successor of a god, becoming a god is the most important thing. If you can't even keep this promise, then you are not qualified to become a god."
Even Hyotei, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "Do you have any way to heal Sister Snow Empress? Or even help her avoid the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "If a normal soul beast wants to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, there are only two methods. One is to improve its strength and physical fitness as much as possible. I can have Ye Lingling treat you. Ye Lingling is the only healing-type Title Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent, and she can heal your injuries very well. In addition, I can also help you find some rare and precious materials to improve your physical strength."
"The second method is for your soul beast to take human form. If you are willing to take human form, my Tianxing Academy can protect your growth until you regain your strength."
"Of course, I have a third method, which is to voluntarily sacrifice yourself to become Tianyue's or my soul ring. After Tianyue and I become gods, we can also revive you, and even make you divine beasts, immortal."
After thinking for a long time, Xue Di and the other three finally spoke: "I can agree to our cooperation, but you must show sincerity first, otherwise you're just making empty promises."
Yang Podi thought for a moment, then took out the Asura Demon Sword from behind his back and drew it directly. The entire sky was filled with endless divine light and killing intent, and even the Snow Emperor herself felt a great threat.
"This is the Asura Demon Sword, and also the inherited artifact of the Asura God. Our cooperation can be carried out under the witness of the Asura Demon Sword, or rather, under the witness of the Asura God, the enforcer of the divine realm. As the inheritor of the Asura God, I would not fail to keep even this promise."
As soon as Yang Podi finished speaking, a red lightning bolt appeared in the sky, as if heaven and earth were responding to Yang Podi's words.
Looking at the blood-red Asura Demon Sword before her, and especially at the red lightning that seemed to be a wrath of the heavens, Xue Di finally nodded: "Alright, my far north can cooperate with your Tianxing Academy and form an alliance. I hope you will keep your promise."
"Deal made. I hope we will always be allies."
After speaking, Yang Podi dripped a drop of blood onto the Asura Demon Sword. Upon seeing this, Xue Di also dripped a drop of blood onto the Asura Demon Sword.
As the alliance was formed, the red light on the Asura Demon Sword shone even brighter, as if bearing witness to something.
Xue Di was even more surprised at this moment, because she saw that Yang Podi's drop of blood seemed to be different from ordinary people. It was not dark red, but half red and half gold. Obviously, Yang Podi's strength had far exceeded her imagination.
After the alliance was formed, Yang Podi said to Ye Lingling behind him, "Lingling, please help Senior Xue Di and the others heal, and pay special attention to Senior Xue Di's hidden injuries."
Seeing this, Ye Lingling nodded slightly and summoned a giant Nine-Heart Begonia. A green light shone directly on everyone present, and its extreme healing effect was even very good for the Snow Emperor.
Yang Podi also returned to his own group.
Yang Wudi seemed a little confused and asked, "Podi, why do you want to cooperate with these four soul beasts? With your strength, you could easily kill them all."
Yang Podi looked at the puzzled crowd around him, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's mainly because I want to find that giant ice silkworm. That ice silkworm is extremely effective for both me and Tianyue, and it may even have some very special properties."
"Another point is that our Tianxing Academy is indeed somewhat isolated and helpless in Almo Mountain. Whether it is the three upper sects of the Tiandou Empire, the Spirit Hall, or even the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, they are all our enemies now. If we make too many enemies, I'm afraid our future days will be quite difficult."
"The far north has great natural advantages. It is difficult for both humans and soul beasts to conquer this place. In particular, Xue Di has strength here that is no weaker than Di Tian, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for our Tianxing Academy."
"Furthermore, if we really kill all four of these soul beasts, an extremely rare beast tide will occur in the far north, and even our Tianxing Academy will have a hard time stopping it."
Yang Podi was actually thinking about another question. According to the original novel, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew that Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python had sacrificed themselves for Tang San. In fact, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm might have been in the Star Dou Great Forest at that time.
However, according to the descriptions of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, they had never seen the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm after it became a god. Does that mean that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm might still be in the far north? Or that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has not yet been born?
According to the original story, given Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's sycophantic nature, it would naturally come looking for Ice Emperor after becoming a god. It was probably around this time that it was being chased all the way in the far north, even by sea spirit beasts. In the end, it escaped to the Star Dou Great Forest, where it was captured by Di Tian and his group and used as a charging station.
Yang Podi had coveted the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm for a long time. It was the only soul beast on the entire Douluo Continent to break through to level 100. Not only could the divine power emanating from it be absorbed by everyone, but it also meant that the soul rings and soul bones were of the million-year level. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was a treasure that could even greatly nourish all kinds of ferocious beasts.
As long as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm doesn't fall into the hands of the Silver Dragon King and his group, Yang Podi is determined to obtain it.
With the alliance formed, Ye Lingling treated Ice Emperor and the other three soul beasts before treating Snow Emperor alone.
However, after Xue Di failed to condense the Yin-Yang balanced dual soul cores, the injuries on her body were more severe than anyone imagined. Even though Ye Lingling used all her strength, she could only barely alleviate the injuries and could not completely heal them.
Yang Podi thought for a moment and then said to Yang Zhentian behind him, "Dad, where is that piece of Life Gold I brought back last time? Could you take it out?"
Yang Zhentian hesitated for a while, but finally took out a piece of metal full of life from his soul tool. It was the living metal he had obtained from the nest of the three giant ant queens.
Yang Podi hesitated for a moment before handing the Life Gold to Xue Di: "This Life Gold should be beneficial to your injuries. I'll lend it to you for a while. You should find the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm for me as soon as possible. It should be able to completely heal your injuries then."
Xue Di looked at the life-giving gold before her. She initially wanted to refuse, but her body seemed to have an immense desire for it, so she eventually accepted it.
This piece of living gold is clearly priceless, but as allies, it's not something easy to obtain; taking it would likely come at a price.
The people around were also puzzled, never expecting that Yang Zhentian would have such a treasure hidden on him.
Dugu Bo spoke up, "Little monster, this piece of metal has a very strong life force. You didn't put it on Mount Almo before, did you? No wonder I felt that the life force on Mount Almo had become much stronger, and my cultivation speed had increased a lot."
"You actually took out such a treasure? That's not like you at all."
Yang Podi sighed slightly: "Now we are enemies of the whole world. Lending it to someone else in exchange for an ally of a peerless Douluo is not a loss. Besides, we may have other surprises in store."
Dugu Bo scoffed, "What surprise could compare to a treasure that can be passed down for ten thousand years? With this metal, don't you think Tianxing Academy could last for ten thousand years?"
"Although the Gold of Life is a treasure, its power is not yet that great. Besides, I have already left behind a treasure that can ensure the Heavenly Path Academy's survival for ten thousand years."
Many people were puzzled upon hearing this, but Grandpa Yang Wudi and the others' expressions changed slightly, and some even nodded secretly.
The true treasure that allows Tianxing Academy to stand for ten thousand years should be the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. If we can find the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it would be worth paying two more pieces of Life Gold.
After receiving the Gold of Life, the Snow Empress began issuing commands to the entire far north, and the soul beasts of the far north seemed to start moving.
Yang Podi suddenly remembered something and said to Bingdi, "Senior Bingdi, when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm went missing, the last people to come into contact with it should be your Imperial Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Please go and find your clansmen to see who last saw Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It would be best to confirm the location, as this will be of great use to me."
Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor exchanged a glance, and finally Ice Emperor left alone to return to the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to inquire.
