Huo Yuhao wasn't bored listening to Tianmeng's ramblings on the way; instead, he asked curiously, "Brother Tianmeng, is the far north really that scary?"
"That's right!" Tianmeng revealed a human-like disdainful expression, proudly stating, "Under my leadership, the Three Great Kings of the Far North guard the Far North. Even if Di Tian came, he would still have to treat them with utmost respect."
"Besides, we're going there for your second spirit soul, and we'll also add a spirit ring to your spiritual spirit spirit soul while we're there. I've already planned it all out for you. Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, you should speed things up and get there sooner. That way, you'll have more time. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to return to Shrek Academy during your vacation. You just need to run faster."
Huo Yuhao had originally thought he had plenty of time, but after hearing Tianmeng's words, he immediately quickened his pace.
As for food, Huo Yuhao had prepared two days' worth at Shrek Academy's canteen, plus some dry rations he had prepared himself, so there was no need to worry for the time being. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had quite a few gold soul coins on him. In addition to the ones Jiang Nannan gave him, the ones Ye Nanxiao gave him, and the ones Fan Yu gave him, Huo Yuhao had a total of more than 600 gold soul coins on him.
A year of arduous training cultivated Huo Yuhao's perseverance and ability to endure the loneliness of cultivation, something few two-ring Soul Masters at his age could do.
Huo Yuhao calmed himself down, cast aside all distractions, and focused intently on running northward. He would often run for two or three hours at a time, only stopping to rest for a while when his soul power was almost completely depleted. After recovering his soul power, he would immediately continue on his way.
In this situation, he made the most of his speed, and probably even ordinary third or fourth ring Soul Masters could not run as far as him in a day.
Watching Huo Yuhao run freely, Xiao Ye No. 1, following far behind, held the sphere, looking puzzled, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the original body forgot to give its dear brother a flying soul tool?"
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the weather was getting colder and colder.
The biting cold forced Huo Yuhao to slow his pace, allowing him to enter a city where he bought warm clothes and replenished his supplies. He also purchased a map.
Xiao Ye No. 1 followed Huo Yuhao closely, trying his best to conceal his aura. He wasn't worried about being discovered by Tian Meng, since Huo Yuhao was focused on getting on his way.
Xiao Ye No. 1 and Huo Yuhao are now in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Heading north, they will reach the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire in a few days. Once there, they will have basically reached their destination. Traversing the entire Heavenly Soul Empire from the southernmost to the northernmost point, the hardships involved are unimaginable.
However, Huo Yuhao lived alone in the White Tiger Duke's mansion for a year, and Ye Nanxiao frequently took care of his body. Coupled with his rigorous training, Huo Yuhao developed a strong physique and recovered much better after a few days.
Huo Yuhao didn't buy a fur coat; to save money, he only bought a cotton-padded coat.
"This kid is really..." Little Ye No. 1, who was following behind Huo Yuhao, shook his head and sighed slightly.
After traveling at full speed for eight days, Huo Yuhao finally entered the vicinity of the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Upon arriving here, the map in his hand had become blank.
His breath quickly turned into tiny ice shards, even covering Huo Yuhao's eyebrows with a thin layer of frost. Frustrated, Huo Yuhao put the map back into his storage soul tool. The area further north on the map was completely blank, marked with: Far North, Human Forbidden Zone, Danger!!!
"Brother Tianmeng, wake up! We've probably arrived at our destination. We'll need your guidance from now on," Huo Yuhao called out to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind.
"Give directions? Give directions for what?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's dazed voice rang out. Coming to his senses, this only million-year-old soul beast to have ever appeared on the Douluo Continent seemed somewhat dazed. "Um, I don't recognize this place either!"
"What did you say?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "Brother Tianmeng, this can't be a joke! I followed your instructions and traveled north for eight whole days to get here, and you still don't know the area. What are we going to do?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said in a very innocent voice, "Well, I really don't know this place. The place I used to live in was in the northeast of the continent, which is quite far from here. Later, I drifted south by sea and then went to the Star Dou Great Forest. This place should be in the central and northern part of the continent, which is the northwest of the original Douluo Continent. I don't know the way."
Huo Yuhao asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"
Tianmeng Bingcan chuckled and said, "Look how anxious you are, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Yes, I don't know the way, but you forgot, I have powerful mental strength! I don't need to know the way at all. As long as I follow my mental guidance, we can find the target we're looking for, right? By the way, take off your clothes first."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and asked, "Take off your clothes? Why are you taking off your clothes? It's so cold in here, do you want me to freeze to death?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said irritably, "Hurry up, or you'll really freeze to death. This place is what you call a snowy wonderland? In the past, I would have been sweating at this temperature. This place is far from being truly cold. Our target is in the core of this far north, where the temperature is unimaginable. Hurry up and take off your clothes so I can help you. Otherwise, if we continue north, you'll be on your way to the Western Paradise in less than two days."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm attached its remains to Huo Yuhao's body, concealing Huo Yuhao's aura. If Little Ye No. 1 didn't use its "Mind's Eye," it would be basically impossible to detect Huo Yuhao.
As for its own aura, Xiao Ye No. 1 was originally made of ice.
Huo Yuhao quickly took out several soul tools he had made and attached them to his body to put himself in peak condition. Then he headed in the direction Tianmeng had indicated.
Huo Yuhao was releasing his mental detection soul skill, and Tianmeng was also using her own mental power to envelop Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao found that his mental power was just a drop in the ocean compared to Tianmeng's Ice Silkworm.
Sensing Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Tianmeng chuckled and said, "You still have a lot of room to grow, and besides, I'm your soul ring, so my spiritual essence will be yours sooner or later."
Huo Yuhao snapped back to attention and said apologetically, "Sorry, Brother Tianmeng, I was a little distracted."
Tianmeng proudly said, "No one can compare to my mental strength, not even that tentacle monster. But I'm still quite surprised by your brother's mental strength."
"His cultivation level is only at the fourth level, but his mental strength is stronger than most of the teachers at Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao chuckled sheepishly, "That's right, my brother is amazing."
Tianmeng snorted, ceasing her discussion of Ye Nanxiao, and muttered under her breath, "That kid is quite mysterious, though; I just can't figure out what's so special about him."
Huo Yuhao continued his journey for several more days. During the journey, Tianmeng suddenly sensed something and hurriedly shouted, "Yuhao, quickly crawl on your stomach, lie on the ground, bury yourself in the snow, and don't move at all. Even if anything touches your body, you must not move."
Hearing Tianmeng's anxious voice, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate to lie down on the snow and remain motionless.
Xiao Ye No. 1 sensed Huo Yuhao's actions from afar and immediately activated its senses to the maximum. After sensing a huge object and a massive fluctuation of soul power, Xiao Ye No. 1 quickly burrowed into the snow and remained motionless.
Not far away, a huge figure slowly walked by, exuding a terrifying aura, which frightened Huo Yuhao quite a bit.
The huge figure walked away, and it was more than ten seconds later that Tianmeng helped Huo Yuhao get up. Huo Yuhao gasped for breath in the cold air, feeling like his lungs weren't even his own anymore.
Little Ye No. 1 wasn't in such a sorry state. Looking at the figure and feeling the powerful beastly aura emanating from it, he said disdainfully, "If my true form were here, I'd scare you to death. But why is this big oaf here on the outskirts? Out shopping?"
"That was Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Kings of the Far North. Luckily, my mental strength far surpasses that big oaf. It scared me to death." Tianmeng's voice was still a little nervous.
Huo Yuhao asked about the Three Kings of the Far North with curiosity. When Tian Meng said that the cultivation levels of the Three Kings of the Far North were all over 100,000 years, Huo Yuhao was a little confused. After studying at Shrek Academy, he knew how terrifying soul beasts over 100,000 years old were.
As Huo Yuhao traveled, he listened to Tianmeng boast about her glorious history in the far north.
"Brother Tianmeng, you said the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North are so terrifying, can't we be more realistic? When are you going to ask me for my second martial soul and additional soul rings?"
"We need to be bolder. There's something your brother says that I really like: 'Great skill breeds daring.' Our primary target this time is the second-ranked of the three great kings of the far north," Tianmeng said mysteriously.
Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned, asking incredulously, "What? We went all that way just to give it away for nothing?"
"What do you mean by 'giving away for free'? Stop copying your brother. And what are you afraid of? With me here, what's the Three Kings of the Far North? What's so scary about that?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with a disdainful look.
"Not scary? If it wasn't scary, why did you run away in the first place?" Huo Yuhao retorted.
"This..." Tianmeng was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Isn't it because you're here? Things are different now. Since I dared to bring you here, you don't need to be afraid!"
Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Alright, let's go. Anyway, I've entrusted my life to you. Even if you sell me out, I'll just be helping you count the money."
Gradually, Huo Yuhao encountered problems with food. The dry rations were frozen solid, and the water froze solid, making it undrinkable.
Huo Yuhao sat in the snow, surrounded by high snow.
Huo Yuhao said breathlessly, "Brother Tianmeng, this can't go on! I'm about to give up. Even if I encounter the soul beast you're looking for, I don't have the strength to kill it. Even if I succeed, I'm afraid I won't have the stamina to walk out. This weather is really too much for me."
Tianmeng estimated that it was about time and said, "Alright, now we just need to wait and see."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had stopped, Xiao Ye No. 1 guessed that it was about to start, reached out, and a few snowflakes drifted away.

Dividing line
A few days later, Ye Nanxiao, who was helping Jiang Jia, received a message from his clone. He was thinking about how to tell Jiang Nannan, "Xue'er, if I remember correctly, this Hyotei seems to have a crush on you?"
Xue Di blushed slightly and said softly, "I like Bing'er quite a bit, but not to the extent that Bing'er is obsessed with me."
"Wait a minute, do you think Hyotei might come after me and try to take you back?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly thought of this and shuddered.
"Ah Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Nannan quietly walked up behind Ye Nanxiao and wrapped her arms around his waist.
