I believe everyone now knows the answer to the previous question. In "Soul Land II: Peerless Tang Sect," Huo Yuhao comes to the Extreme North to capture the Ice Empress, so I'll be including content about the Skydream Iceworm as well.

Now, to the main story.

Mu Yang, throwing caution to the wind, charged at Huo Yuhao and smashed the scabbard fiercely at his hand.

Huo Yuhao dodged by shifting his hand aside and asked Skydream in his mind, "Brother Skydream, is this a human or a soul beast?"

"It should be a soul beast, and I already have a good idea of what kind it is. But Yuhao, you need to quickly deal with this trouble in front of you. My cocoon could give out at any moment. If you can get your hands on that weapon he’s holding, you must take it—there’s divinity in that weapon; it’s likely an artifact," Skydream said from within the spiritual sea.

"What kind of soul beast has such an incredible regenerative ability?" Huo Yuhao continued to ask as he dodged another attack from the scabbard.

"A Snow Demon, similar to a Snow Maiden. As long as they’re in a cold region, they possess nearly immortal regenerative abilities. That’s why purebred Snow Demons are incredibly rare. In the Extreme North, there might be less than a hundred of them."

"Yuhao, the Snow Demon in front of you may have just been born. Leave here first. Once we’re done with the Ice Empress, I’ll help you deal with this Snow Demon."

"But Brother Skydream, this Snow Demon is acting like a madman, practically using its body to block the cave entrance, not letting me out." Huo Yuhao dodged several more attacks and kept up the conversation with Skydream.

"Let me handle it," Skydream said, glancing at his own cocoon with calm indifference.

Then, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had turned golden.

As Mu Yang prepared to attack again, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure descend upon him.

Skydream thought to himself: Although my pressure can’t suppress a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it’s more than enough for this newborn creature.

But to Skydream’s surprise, Mu Yang quickly adapted to the pressure and even managed to siphon off a portion of it.

The scabbard then struck out, landing a heavy blow on Huo Yuhao’s head.

A wave of mental turbulence rippled through the air, and Mu Yang felt as if his head was about to split open from the pain.

Taking advantage of the moment, Skydream controlled Huo Yuhao’s body to snatch the Tang Saber and dashed out of the cave, leaving Mu Yang behind with only the scabbard.

By the time Mu Yang recovered, he realized Huo Yuhao had not only escaped, but had taken his Tang Saber—his very heart—with him.

"Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission: Child of Destiny.
Reward: D6"

"Host has triggered a new mission: Seize the Saber.
Reward: Soul binding with the Tang Saber (Heart)."

"Child of Destiny? That guy who just stole my saber? No way, anyone who shows up turns out to be Huo Yuhao? I’ve truly lost both the bride and the army this time."

"Let’s see what this D6 is all about."

Mu Yang focused his mind and took out a red die from his spatial ring.

"Item: D6

Grade: Pale Gold
Gamble: Consume one unit of energy to guess the number on the die. If you guess right, you can reset an item. (When rolling, the D6 will take you into a special space where everything is random.)
Die Roll: Consume six units of energy to reset an unused item. (Must not have been equipped for more than three days.)
Play with Fate: Consume 18 units of energy to reset an item in a positive direction.
Energy: 0 units (Earn 1 unit for every 30 enemies killed.)"
…

This issue’s questions:

1. Where does the D6 come from, and who originally possessed it? (The D6’s abilities have been enhanced by the author, but its core functions remain unchanged.)
2. Where did Mu Yang wear the spatial ring so that Skydream couldn’t take it?

Looking forward to everyone’s answers.
