Ning Fengzhi not only recruited Ice Attribute Soul Masters in the livestream but also did so offline.
It wasn’t just Ning Fengzhi; other factions also began recruiting Spirit Masters who cultivated the Ice Heart Formula both online and offline.
“The Heaven Dou Empire is willing to grant titles to Ice Attribute Soul Masters.
Those interested can join us.” Qian Renxue refused to be outdone and also started recruiting.
Although she was currently undercover, disguised as the Heaven Dou Empire’s Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, she could still recruit these Ice Attribute Soul Masters.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would absolutely be able to seize the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire through usurpation and take control of the empire.
By then, would these Ice Attribute Soul Masters she personally recruited dare to rebel?
Even if they did rebel, the Spirit Hall would already have established its dominance and would have no reason to fear these Ice Attribute Soul Masters.
Most importantly, she could now also utilize the resources of the Heaven Dou Empire to help refine the Ice Heart Formula, adapting it for Spirit Masters of other attributes.
The three deans of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy—Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin—were the best resources available.
…
“The Spirit Hall welcomes a large number of Spirit Masters cultivating the Ice Heart Formula to join.
Those who can effectively share their cultivation experiences will receive even richer rewards.” “The Star Luo Empire welcomes…” “The Black Tiger Sect welcomes…” “The Blazing Fire Academy welcomes…” …
Numerous factions all welcomed Spirit Masters cultivating the Ice Heart Formula.
Soon, even the Five Element Academies were no exception.
Although some of these academies, such as the Blazing Fire Academy, seemed completely incompatible with Ice Attribute Soul Masters, the Blazing Fire Academy was, after all, an elemental academy.
If the Ice Heart Formula succeeded, wouldn’t the Fire Heart Mantra be a similar cultivation technique?
However, the recruitment efforts of these major factions ultimately paled in comparison to the Heavenly Water Academy.
“The Heavenly Water Academy welcomes all Spirit Masters cultivating the Ice Heart Formula.
We will gather the experiences of all Ice Attribute Soul Masters to compile a cultivation technique more suitable for all Ice and Water Attribute Soul Masters, which will then be freely shared with those who join the Heavenly Water Academy.” Shui Wuyue, the dean of the Heavenly Water Academy, also spoke up in the livestream.
At this, the vast majority of Ice Attribute Soul Masters began to waver.
Although the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and the two empires were all powerful, when it came to cultivating Ice and Water attributes, they likely couldn’t match the Heavenly Water Academy.
Every year, the Heavenly Water Academy recruited new students, each of whom was a Spirit Master capable of cultivating the Ice Heart Formula.
Combined, these students would only be more adept at exploring the advanced techniques of the Ice Heart Formula than any other faction.
However, the Heavenly Water Academy wasn’t finished yet.
They soon added, “The Heavenly Water Academy will unite with Spirit Master families skilled in Ice and Water attributes near the Far North, specifically in the Snow Spirit Province, to protect all Spirit Masters cultivating the Ice Heart Formula from persecution by others.” As soon as the Heavenly Water Academy made this statement, the entire livestream erupted in excitement.
What was the Heavenly Water Academy trying to do?
Was this rebellion?
If all Ice Attribute Soul Masters united as one, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yet, the royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, who were watching the Heavenly Screen livestream, dared not say a word.
Even the Spirit Hall had no moral high ground to say anything.
They were merely preventing their own people from being persecuted—was that a crime?
Even if they forbade it, would these Ice Attribute Soul Masters and Water Attribute Soul Masters choose not to join this Tianshui Academy?
Blocking it was impossible!
Everyone knew that Tianshui Academy would never be the same again.
However, whether Tianshui Academy would remain Tianshui Academy in the future was uncertain.
Perhaps it would even change its name later on.
Yet, Tianshui Academy also seemed to realize that their statement had been somewhat inappropriate.
Whether they harbored rebellious intentions was one thing, but would others think they did?
Thus, Tianshui Academy issued another statement.
“I am Shui Wuyue, the dean of Tianshui Academy.
I understand that many may doubt our motives, but we only wish to study the Ice Heart Formula and develop subsequent cultivation techniques.” “We simply want all Spirit Masters who cultivate the Ice Heart Formula to avoid persecution, and we welcome Spirit Masters from other factions to oversee our efforts as proof.” Within Tianshui Academy, Shui Wuyue knew that once such suspicions arose, no amount of explanation would be useful.
But rather than blocking, it was better to guide.
Instead of letting other factions doubt Tianshui Academy and the allied sects, it was better to invite them all to participate.
After all, they were researching the Ice Heart Formula, which was only suitable for Ice and Water Attribute Soul Masters to cultivate.
If others had the capability, they could adapt their research into their own techniques.
Additionally, Shui Wuyue was well aware that spies from other factions would undoubtedly be numerous.
But that didn’t matter.
After all, the protagonist of the Heavenly Screen livestream was Chen Yu, a member of the Black Rhinoceros Tribe from the Far North.
His future cultivation techniques would only be more suitable for Ice Attribute Soul Masters.
Shui Wuyue was quite confident about this.
However, for now, they still had to guard against persecution from other factions.
Especially from the Spirit Hall.
Previously, the Spirit Hall had dared to directly attack the Haotian Sect.
Next, they might very well target Tianshui Academy.
At this thought, Shui Wuyue grew somewhat anxious.
“If all else fails, at least we must protect Bing’er.” Shui Wuyue understood very clearly that, barring any accidents, Shui Bing’er would be Chen Yu’s most perfect successor in the future.
After all, Shui Bing’er was perfectly suited to the Ice Heart Formula and had Xue Wu, a teammate capable of using Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
Perhaps, in the future, Shui Bing’er might even have a chance to challenge the Limit Douluo.
With this clear in his mind, Shui Wuyue immediately called out.
“Someone, summon Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu.” In the dean’s office, Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu arrived together.
Aside from Shui Bing’er, Xue Wu’s cultivation speed was also remarkably fast.
In fact, it could reach forty percent of her original cultivation speed.
Of course, this wasn’t due to the high quality of Xue Wu’s Martial Soul, but rather because her Martial Soul was closer to the essence of ice.
“Dad, why did you call us?” Shui Bing’er had been diligently cultivating with Xue Wu when she heard Shui Wuyue summon her.
Reluctantly setting aside the exhilaration of her rapid progress, she came here.
“It’s like this…” Shui Wuyue quickly explained the events from the livestream and outlined some of the dangers.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu instantly changed.
This was indeed a danger.
But just then, another hidden faction in the livestream also issued a statement.
“The Profound Darkness Sect is willing to cooperate with the Tianshui Academy.” “The Black Water Sect is also willing to cooperate with the Tianshui Academy!” …
Watching more and more factions express their willingness to cooperate with the Tianshui Academy, Shui Wuyue’s face was practically stiff from smiling.
“Excellent, excellent.
These factions aren’t fools either—even the long-secluded Profound Darkness Sect is willing to cooperate.” However, soon enough, Shui Wuyue’s expression turned grim once again.
The stronger these factions were, the safer the Tianshui Academy would be—but also, the more dangerous it would become.
Was an alliance formed by major powers truly an unbreakable iron wall?
Moreover, while their current alliance was indeed formidable, it might still not compare to the Haotian Sect before its seclusion.
