Chapter 156: Ice Fire Dragon Kings, Fragrant Delicate Immortal Bloom
Ye Chen's gaze pierced through the mountain valley, probing deeper and deeper.
About two hundred meters below the surface, he finally saw them—two massive dragon skeletons.
Their bone structures were clear and majestic, long tails coiling together, talons intertwined.
But their flesh had long since decayed into dust, the bones weathered by endless years, now serving as nutrients for this extraordinary valley.
Only at the deepest parts of the two skulls remained two stones, dull at first glance but emanating immense spiritual power.
Even though the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had perished, their dragon souls had clearly endured, sealed within those stones.
For their souls to persist for tens of thousands of years after death proved how terrifyingly powerful they were in life.
Ye Chen wondered whether any trace of their consciousness still lingered. Even if so, it would be faint—barely existing.
Once he located his target, Ye Chen activated teleportation, swiftly bringing the Ice Emperor closer to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Teleportation? Wait—what kind of soul skill is this? How can you teleport endlessly!!" Ice Emperor, perched on his head, was utterly dumbfounded.
She had seen teleportation techniques from other soul masters before, but theirs either had limited range or strict usage limits.
Yet Ye Chen's covered several kilometers—sometimes even tens of kilometers—and appeared completely unrestricted!
It was unreal!
"Basic operations. Nothing fancy."
Ye Chen smiled faintly, taking clear delight in showing off.
With his current spiritual power and the Heavenly Infinity Eye, a single thought could move him nearly two hundred kilometers, consuming minimal energy.
Of course, he preferred to keep some cards hidden, so he restrained himself a little in front of Ice Emperor for style's sake.
"You… you really love to show off…"
The Ice Emperor stomped lightly on his shoulder, irritated, though she couldn't deny how incredible this ability was.
Even at her full strength, she couldn't have done that.
Before long, Ye Chen brought her into an area shrouded in dense toxic mist.
Extreme Ice not only countered Fire—it nullified Poison as well.
A faint spiritual barrier around his body was enough for Ye Chen to resist all venom entirely.
If he guessed correctly, these toxins were produced by the Bi Phosphor Sevenfold Flower and Bi Phosphor Ninefold Flower, both powerful poisonous plant‑type soul beasts.
Unfortunately, his spirit wasn't plant‑based, so they were useless to him.
Even if they weren't, poison belonged to an element inferior to Extreme Ice—completely ineffective.
One teleportation later, Ye Chen easily crossed the miasma layers and landed at the basin where the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well lay hidden.
The poisonous fog ripped apart around him as he descended with Ice Emperor onto moss‑covered ground, soft and springy beneath their feet.
But the sight before them made both stop in awe.
Ye Chen looked around. The valley was ringed by steep black stone cliffs, round like an enormous cauldron.
At its center lay two opposing pools, perfectly split down the middle.
On the left, boiling crimson liquid churned like magma, bubbling thickly with clouds of white steam that warped the air.
On the right, an icy blue pool lay so still it seemed frozen solid, its surface smooth as polished jade, glittering with tiny ice crystals.
The ground between was cleanly divided—baked and cracked on the red side, frosted and soft on the blue.
By the red spring grew a large, crimson flower, its petals curling lazily in the heat.
By the blue spring stood an eight‑petaled icy bloom, perfectly transparent, shimmering like crystal glass.
"This… extreme fire and extreme ice coexisting in one spring—impossible! It's a miracle!"
Ice Emperor covered her mouth, speechless with shock.
She had seen countless wonders in her life, yet nothing like this.
"This was once where the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell," Ye Chen explained calmly. "Their essences fused to form the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Their remains became nourishment for these plants. Over millennia, many here have evolved into powerful plant‑type soul beasts."
"Eh? Human, who are you—and how do you know about the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?"
A young, ethereal voice echoed suddenly through the air.
Soft and melodic, it carried both curiosity and surprise.
At once, the air around Ye Chen shimmered with pink light. Countless glowing particles—pollen—floated gently toward him.
When he inhaled, a soothing sensation filled his entire body.
"Ye Chen, be careful of that pollen!" Ice Emperor cried quickly.
As a soul spirit, she did not need to breathe—but Ye Chen did.
That pink dust definitely looked suspicious, and if Ye Chen fell under its effect, she would be in trouble too.
"No need to worry. This pollen belongs to the Fragrant Delicate Immortal Bloom. It's non‑toxic and can even neutralize poisons." Ye Chen waved his hand nonchalantly.
The Fragrant Delicate Immortal Bloom was harmless—and weak in battle—so he felt no fear at all.
"What! You even know my name? Who are you, human? Have you been here before? I've never seen you!"
The surprise in the voice grew stronger.
Then, from a cluster of petals nearby, a large pink flower emerged.
A girl's face formed at its center—it was the flower itself speaking.
Now, the Fragrant Delicate Immortal Bloom stared curiously at Ye Chen, as if trying to recall if they had ever met.
But she had lived here for over ten thousand years—no one had entered this place in all that time, and she had never left. It was impossible for her to know any outsiders…
Unless… was Ye Chen the successor of that one?
"A hundred‑thousand‑year plant‑type soul beast!" Ice Emperor exclaimed, astonished.
The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well alone had already amazed her, but discovering such a rare, ancient creature beside it was beyond belief.
"Hey, hey, I'm not a hundred‑thousand‑year soul beast! I've only lived a little over ten thousand years! I'm not that old!"
The Fragrant Delicate Immortal Bloom instantly protested, her petals trembling indignantly.
