Chapter 13 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is revealed, attracting a frenzy of interest from various forces!
[Power Ranking, 10th: Sunset Forest]
[Representative of the Ruler: None]
[Strongest combat force representative: None at the moment]
[Evaluation: One of the three major habitats of soul beasts in Douluo Continent, located within the Heaven Dou Empire. Every evening, the setting sun's rays filter through the mist, turning the entire forest red, hence the name "Sunset Forest." Hundreds of thousands of soul beasts inhabit this place, but their cultivation levels are generally low, with very few reaching over 70,000 years. There are no dominant soul beasts capable of ruling large areas, nor are there any powerful soul beasts widely known to the outside world. Therefore, "representatives of rulers" and "representatives of the strongest combat power" are not included in the statistics.]
Most importantly, in ancient times, the two divine beasts of the realm of gods, the "Ice Dragon King" and the "Fire Dragon King," perished simultaneously in the heart of Sunset Forest. Their remains, due to geological changes, sank thousands of feet underground, and the immense energy contained within them continued to seep out. After countless years of nurturing, this formed a unique treasure basin on the surface, the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye." One eye contains the Yin energy of the "Extreme Cold Yin Spring," and the other contains the Yang energy of the "Blazing Yang Spring." These two eyes coexist within a basin, mutually generating and restraining each other, creating a bipolar magnetic field that nourishes all things and fosters numerous rare and precious medicinal herbs. From ancient times to the present, this place has always been the most precious and vital area of Sunset Forest!
[Intermediate Reward: The cultivation years of both representatives will be increased by 10,000 years each, and one Tribulation-Crossing Pill will be awarded (if there are no representatives, the cultivation years of all soul beasts within the territory will be increased by 100 years)!]
As lines of text appeared on the sky, the entire continent was once again thrown into a frenzy and commotion.
"What?! The habitat of a soul beast can be counted as a force on the list?!"
"That makes sense then. No wonder even the two great empires couldn't make it into the top ten."
"But there are only three such vast habitats for soul beasts on the continent?!"
"My God, there's no representative, and the reward is that all soul beasts will be upgraded by a hundred years? Hundreds of thousands of soul beasts will all be upgraded by a hundred years? Are you crazy?!"
What surprised them even more was the second half of the Sunset Forest review.
The place where the two Dragon Kings fell—the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!
In an instant, countless people flocked to it, even in the depths of the treacherous Soul Beast Forest!
...
Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.
"Wait, isn't this my medicinal herb garden?!"
Dugu Bo spat out the tea he had just drunk with a "pfft".
"Grandpa, what are you doing? You almost got me all wet!"
Fortunately, Dugu Yan, who was sitting opposite, reacted in time, otherwise she would have been scolded in the face by her grandfather.
As soon as dusk fell, her grandfather picked her up from the academy and brought her back here to drink tea and observe.
Her grandfather was surprised when the previous lists were announced, but he never reacted as strongly as he has now.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Grandpa just lost his composure."
Dugu Bo quickly admitted his mistake, but his mind was in turmoil.
Good heavens, Tianmu has just exposed his secret medicine garden that he's kept hidden for so many years!
"Yanyan, stay home and behave yourself. Grandpa is going on a long trip."
After giving a brief instruction, Dugu Bo didn't offer any further explanation and disappeared in a flash.
He knew that all the major powers would definitely be looking for them, so he had to take the initiative and collect all the herbs first.
"Oh, Grandpa, what's wrong? Have you also become interested in that Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
At this point, Dugu Yan is unaware of Dugu Bo's medicinal herb garden and assumes he has gone there to search for treasure.
...
Wuhun City, Papal Palace.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, I, the Pope, am determined to possess it!"
A burning desire flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she abruptly turned her head and gave the order:
"Elder Ju and Elder Gui, you two will lead a hundred-strong elite Soul Emperor team to search for them. If you encounter any other forces that try to stop you, show no mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately bowed and accepted the order.
With the two of them plus a hundred Soul Emperors, what force in the outside world could stop them?
Yue Guan appeared extremely excited; he had been researching the immortal herb for a long time and was quite obsessed with it.
...
Offering Hall.
The worshippers were greatly shocked by what they saw on the celestial screen.
Even Qian Daoliu was no exception, exclaiming in amazement:
"I never imagined that a divine beast from the God Realm would fall and create such a treasure land on our Douluo Continent!"
Golden Crocodile stepped forward quickly and said in a deep voice:
"The major powers will definitely take action. Should we take action too? The treasures there will surely be of great benefit to us, and may even make up for the slow progress of Xiaoxue's soul power cultivation caused by years of infiltration!"
The worshippers all nodded in agreement, eager to try.
Qian Daoliu withdrew his gaze, regaining his usual composure, and shook his head, saying:
"No need. I sense that Bibi Dong has already taken action, mobilizing at least two elders and no less than a hundred Soul Emperors. We should just sit back and observe."
The golden crocodile and other offerings were all taken aback.
Bibi Dong's actions were surprisingly swift.
And they even dispatched two elders and a hundred Soul Emperors in one fell swoop!
...
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, Thunder Valley.
This place is a secret realm specifically for raising pure lightning-attribute soul beasts.
Yu Yuanzhen was searching for a suitable soul beast with Yu Luomian when they were drawn to the sky and stopped.
"Hiss, the Sunset Soul Beast Forest actually made the list, and even surpassed a Heavenly Dou Royal Family member who possesses a divine artifact!"
Yu Yuanzhen smacked his lips, equally intrigued by the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Yu Luomian was no exception, and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, you don't need to accompany me to hunt for spirit rings, do you? Why don't you send someone to compete for them?"
Yu Yuanzhen had already planned this, and nodded emphatically:
"I will return to the sect immediately to mobilize a group of the most elite disciples. You can stay here!"
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Feng Zhi, other forces must have made their moves as well. Should we take action?!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong both looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked eagerly.
Ning Fengzhi's desire for the treasure was almost overflowing from his eyes.
A rare and precious medicinal herb?
Perhaps it can solve the flaws in his martial soul!
"Sword Bone, Uncle Bone, which of you two is willing to come with me?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
The sect must leave at least one Title Douluo to oversee things; otherwise, he would wish to bring them all with him.
"My Bone Dragon Martial Soul has spatial attributes, which might be of some use. I'll take it!"
Gu Rong stepped forward first.
He wasn't very interested in the treasure, but he did want to see the place where the Dragon King had fallen.
"Fine, I'll let you have it this time, you old bones."
Chen Xin shook his head helplessly, then suddenly said with some resentment:
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School absolutely cannot miss this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Old bones, don't let me down!"
...
Haotian Sect.
"I've broken through to level 93!"
The Seventh Elder, having finally completed the absorption of the soul bone, has returned.
But then they saw Tang Xiao and the elders having a heated discussion in front of the sky.
He was somewhat angry that these guys were ignoring him, but the next second he was shocked by what he saw on the screen.
"Seventh Brother, you've broken through!"
The elders noticed him at this moment and came forward to offer their congratulations.
The Seventh Elder's gaze was fixed on the sky, his eyes practically overflowing with greed, and he exclaimed excitedly:
"This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire may be the key to changing the fate of our Haotian Sect! We must act immediately!"
Tang Xiao immediately nodded and said:
"Seventh Elder, we have just unanimously decided to go and search for it. I have decided to take one elder with me, but they are arguing about which elder should accompany me."
The Seventh Elder immediately looked at the four elders and said urgently:
"It's me! Brothers, give Seventh Brother some face!"
Knowing the seventh brother's temperament, the four elders exchanged a glance and nodded in unison:
"Alright, then you shall go with Tang Xiao. You must find a treasure land and reverse the decline of my Haotian Sect!"
...
Chang'an City.
"Lord City Lord, is this the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that you once told Wan'er about? Now that it has been exposed ahead of schedule, should we also take action?"
Looking at the content displayed on the screen, Shangguan Wan'er asked somewhat anxiously.
Previously, seeing that the timeline was still early and that he wouldn't need it, Ye Han hadn't tried to intercept it.
Now that it's been exposed ahead of time, we can't just sit idly by, otherwise wouldn't that benefit other forces?
