Chapter 99 Comprehending the Tribulation of Life and Death
When Du Busi revealed Xue Heng's identity as the Snow Emperor, the Heavenly Soul Emperor showed an extremely shocked expression.
He immediately began to ponder what arrangements should be made for Xue Di Su Wu's identity.
After all, there has never been a precedent in the history of Douluo Continent for a soul beast to cooperate with a soul master.
Without a doubt, the Snow Empress, who has condensed a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, possesses combat power at the Limit Douluo level.
Having an ally with unparalleled combat power would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Moreover, the Snow Empress is the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, with the entire far north standing behind her.
Xue Heng remained silent for a long time before finally making up his mind and saying, "Since you are willing to travel the world under the identity of Su Wu, then my Heavenly Soul Empire will definitely cooperate with you in the fullest way."
What truly made Xue Heng make up his mind was Xue Di's promise to help Du Busi break through his limits.
As long as the Heavenly Soul Empire possesses its own limits, it will be able to hold the reins of stability amidst the impending great upheaval.
The Snow Empress said calmly, "I have only come to observe the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire, and I will not interfere in the internal affairs between you Soul Masters."
"However, I plan to train Huo Yuhao and Su Tong to become a bridge of communication between the far north and the Soul Masters."
"So I might stay in Tiandou City for a while."
Xue Heng immediately understood Xue Di's intention.
"Since you wish to stay in Tiandou City, Tianhun will naturally arrange a secluded residence for you."
"However, since Huo Yuhao and Su Tong are still students, it would be better for you to temporarily assume the position of Honorary Dean of Di'ao Academy."
"At that time, Qingxin Xiaozhu will be given to you. You will not need to participate in the management of the academy. You can focus on nurturing the two of them."
"This matter will only be informed to Dean Xuexin."
After a moment's thought, Xue Di agreed to Xue Heng's arrangement. After all, she needed an identity to travel the world.
Being able to observe the energetic students as the honorary dean of Di'ao is also of great benefit to her cultivation.
Upon seeing Xue Di nod in agreement, Xue Heng immediately drafted an edict to provide Xue Di with all her expenses in Tianhun according to the standards of a prince.
Neither of them mentioned the far north.
The reason why the Body Sect cooperated with the far north was because of Huo Yuhao, the young sect leader who was in reality but not officially recognized, which was a private matter for the Body Sect.
However, if news of Tianhun's cooperation with the Far North were to spread, it would put Tianhun under immense public pressure.
It is even highly likely that it will be resisted by other forces.
Not only the Heavenly Soul, but also the far north may face scrutiny from the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, cooperation between soul beasts and humans is a major taboo in the soul beast world.
After leaving the Heavenly Soul Palace, the Snow Empress first discussed with Poison Immortal their understanding of the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores.
Whether it's Xue Di or Di Tian, the dual soul cores condensed by Xie Di can only serve as a reference for Du Busi.
Because two "soul core gears" with different attributes require completely different "gear scales" to mesh and rotate.
For Yu Xue Di, her first soul core was extreme cold, and her second soul core was luck.
These two things seem unrelated, but in fact they complement each other.
The fortunes of the far north are inherently intertwined with ice and snow.
The rise and fall of ice and snow in the far north can, in turn, affect the flow of fortune in the far north.
The Snow Emperor is based on extreme cold and extended by the flow of Qi (vital energy). The two complement each other and ultimately form a perfect balance of Yin and Yang.
"The complementarity of Yin and Yang is not simply the superposition of two attributes, but rather they are mutually complementary."
"The key to successful cohesion lies in balance and transformation, ultimately achieving a state where you are in me and I am in you."
Du Bu Si called Huo Yuhao and Su Tong to listen in, so that Xue Di could hear their understanding of the Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core.
After listening to Xue Di's words, Du Bu Si frowned and fell into deep thought.
Often, in the process of self-cultivation, all it takes is a single word of guidance to enlighten one.
The first soul core of the Poison Undying is based on the "life" of its original martial soul, symbolizing the power and vitality of the physical body.
His second soul core, however, was intended to use the "death" element of the Life and Death Tribulation Poison as its core.
According to Xue Di's theory of mutual complementarity, if Du Bu Si wants to condense the Yin and Yang complementary dual soul cores, what he needs is the fusion of life and death.
Poison Undying frowned. Did he have to die once before he could condense a second soul core?
This is utterly absurd.
However, Du Bu Si quickly realized that what Xue Di meant by "mutual complementarity" did not refer to the complementary relationship after achieving the second soul core.
Instead, before attempting to condense the second soul core, the "second gear" must be reborn from the dead.
Only in this way can the two soul core gears initially mesh and rotate.
Once the two gears begin to rotate, what Poison Undying needs to do is to cause the first soul core to die within life.
"Life and death are two sides of the same coin."
"It turns out that the poison of life and death had already told us about the extreme path that my elder brother and I took."
The life-or-death tribulation is essentially a detoxifying liver, and its potent toxicity is produced when combined with the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake.
Therefore, if the two brothers had shifted their focus from the lethality of the Life and Death Tribulation to observing how it maintains its balance, they might have been able to grasp the secret of Yin and Yang complementarity long ago.
In the words of the former sect leader of the Body Sect, the Body Martial Souls of the two brothers were a true evolution of the Body Martial Soul.
They were just too stubborn and went down the wrong path.
After figuring everything out, Du Busi not only didn't feel relieved, but instead shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If my elder brother had been able to integrate the principle of balancing life and death into his cultivation back then, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way—"
"Back then, we always laughed at others for sitting on a gold mine without realizing it, but now it seems that the truly foolish ones were the two of us."
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong offered words of comfort.
Poison Undying smiled sarcastically: "It doesn't matter, let bygones be bygones."
"Since I originally wanted to be called the Poison Body Douluo, how can I break through my limits without letting the Tribulation of Life and Death erode me?"
Then, Du Busi stood up and bowed deeply to Xue Di, saying, "Du Busi of the Body Sect thanks Your Majesty Xue Di for your guidance."
The Snow Emperor said, "The way of Yin and Yang complementing each other is profound. If you can understand the balance within it, breaking through the limit will be a natural outcome."
Poison Undying laughed heartily: "Absolutely right!"
"Yuhao, and Su Tong, I need to go into seclusion for a while."
"During this time, you should all train diligently under the guidance of Her Majesty the Snow Empress. When I emerge from seclusion, I will assess your progress!"
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong said at the same time, "May the Sect Master break through all barriers and reach the pinnacle as soon as possible."
Poison Immortal laughed loudly, then transformed into a shooting star and flew straight towards the direction of the Body Sect.
If he succeeds, he will be the first person in the Douluo Continent to possess a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang in a human body!
Xue Di no longer focuses on the direction of the poison that cannot be killed.
She turned to Huo Yuhao and Su Tong: "Let's go."
"I remember you just mentioned that there is a Golden Dragon Martial Soul in the Azure Dragon Guard."
"Let her be Su Tong's sparring partner during this time."
"So what if she has many attributes? The Ice and Snow Maiden that I personally trained is no worse than her."
