"Back to Sunset Forest!"
Dugu Bo said without hesitation:
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
Moreover, it is only at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that one can draw upon the extreme cold and heat of that place.
This will allow me to conceal the energy fluctuations you experienced when absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone to the greatest extent possible.
"More importantly..."
Dugu Bo patted the soul tool at his waist and chuckled:
"We still need to settle that 'Mrs. Tang' properly."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile.
Although stealing someone's wife might sound a bit immoral, in the world of Soul Masters, the law of the jungle is the rule.
What's more, these are a future 100,000-year soul bone and a 100,000-year soul ring!
Who would pass up such an incredible opportunity?
"Senior, what do you think?"
Dugu Bo asked respectfully in his heart.
"Yes, returning to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is a wise choice."
Yu Nan's voice rang out calmly, carrying a hint of strategic composure.
Sunset Forest was originally Yunan's stronghold.
Yu Nan's predecessor was Poison Dragon, and he knew Sunset Forest inside and out.
Yu Nan even vaguely remembered that somewhere in Sunset Forest, there were several pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones hidden.
This is the soul bone that the former Azure Phosphorous Serpent King produced after devouring countless soul beasts.
(Yu Nan transmigrated and later evolved into a poisonous dragon. Let's call his predecessor 'Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor'.)
It was buried by its predecessor as a treasure.
Although Yu Nan's requirements for Dugu Yan's soul bone configuration are at least 100,000 years.
But these few pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are also a good way to increase Dugu Bo's combat power.
"By the way, Old Poisoner."
As Dugu Bo sped along, Yu Nan's voice suddenly echoed in his mind again.
Compared to his previous seriousness, Yu Nan's tone was now quite casual, even somewhat nonchalant:
"Since we're going back to Sunset Forest, we might as well pick up some things on the way."
"To retrieve something?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback, and subconsciously slowed down his flight speed, asking in confusion:
"Senior, Sunset Forest is my territory."
Aside from the herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, what other good things are there that this old man doesn't know about?
"Your territory?"
Yu Nan chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance befitting someone in a superior position:
"Sunset Forest has always been my territory."
"Back then, in order to survive the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, I devoured countless high-level soul beasts in the Sunset Forest."
Some soul beasts dropped soul bones after they died. At that time, I was only cultivating my physical body and poison power, and I wasn't interested in these bone fragments, so I just casually buried them somewhere.
"Judging by the time, they should still be there."
"Since we're going back this time, let's dig it up while we're at it."
Although the quality is so-so, it's barely enough to nourish your old bones.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned, and his flying figure paused in mid-air for a moment.
Soul Bone?
Or how many pieces?
And it was meant to be refined by himself?
Dugu Bo felt his throat was dry and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
For a Soul Master, a Soul Bone is like a second life, a symbol of strength!
Even though he was a titled Douluo, all he had was Medusa's head soul bone.
Now someone is telling him that there are a bunch of soul bones waiting for him to dig up, and they're even going to give them to him?
This was like a pie falling from the sky and landing right in my mouth!
However.
After only a moment of excitement, the greed in Dugu Bo's eyes quickly faded, replaced by a look of determination.
He turned to look at Dugu Yan, who was also looking surprised, took a deep breath, and shook his head:
"I appreciate your kindness, senior."
"But this soul bone... I cannot accept it."
"oh?"
Yu Nan seemed somewhat surprised and asked with great interest:
"What, you're complaining about what I gave you?"
"This junior wouldn't dare!"
Dugu Bo quickly explained, a look of affection in his eyes as he looked at Dugu Yan:
"But Yan Yan is at a crucial stage in improving her strength, and she needs these resources more than I do."
"This is all I'll ever be in my life. Whether I'm level 92 or 93, it doesn't make much difference."
But Yan Yan is different; her future is limitless.
At this point, Dugu Bo paused, then said sincerely:
"If any of these soul bones overlap with the parts that Yan Yan has already absorbed, then I will shamelessly accept them."
But if there are no overlapping gaps...
Please allow me, senior, to leave these soul bones to Yan Yan!
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt a lump in her throat and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"grandfather..."
She knew her grandfather loved her, but she never imagined it would be to this extent.
Faced with such a treasure as the Soul Bone, he unhesitatingly gave it all to himself!
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Within the sea of consciousness, Yu Nan uttered a sigh that held no clear meaning.
It seemed that they were touched by Dugu Bo's deep paternal love, or perhaps they were mocking his "shortsightedness".
"Alright, stop putting on that grandpa-granddaughter act."
Yu Nan interrupted the touching moment between the grandfather and grandson, his tone tinged with amusement and arrogance:
"Old Poison Master, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"Since I said it was for you, then it is for you."
"As for Yanyan..."
Yu Nan paused, then said something that made both grandfather and grandson question their existence:
"Those few soul bones are nothing more than tens of thousands of years old."
Is this kind of trash even worthy of being placed on my chosen successor?
boom!
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the minds of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Soul bones from tens of thousands of years ago...
Is it garbage?
Unworthy?!
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
A soul bone that's been around for ten thousand years!
That is a treasure that countless Soul Masters dream of?
If this were to happen outside, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath, even turning brothers against each other and fathers and sons into enemies!
How did it become "garbage" in the mouth of this senior?
"S-Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Dugu Yan's voice trembled, and she could hardly believe her ears.
"Literal meaning."
Yu Nan said calmly, his tone as if stating a simple fact:
"Yanyan, now that you have inherited my essence and possess the Ice and Fire Golden Body."
Then your starting point is destined to be above all others.
"A soul bone that has lasted for ten thousand years?"
That kind of thing will only limit your potential and tarnish your talent.
"I only have one request for you—"
"A complete set of soul bones must be at least 100,000 years old!"
quiet.
A deathly silence.
High in the sky, only the whistling wind echoed in my ears.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were completely petrified.
The complete set...100,000 years?!
Is this something a human being could do?!
It's important to know that throughout the entire history of Douluo Continent, even figures like Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall or Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect...
I doubt they would dare to say they possess a complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones.
This is simply... a fantasy!
