The eye of ice and fire.
Ripples spread through the space, the invisible waves spreading out like water ripples.
Before the immortal herbs could react, Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Tang Ya had already quietly appeared in the valley.
Tang Ya's gaze was immediately drawn to the vast, colorful plant community at the bottom of the valley.
In the center of that grove of plants, there was a lake where crimson and ice blue were clearly distinct, and under the shroud of the seven-colored poisonous clouds, it exuded a fantastical brilliance.
She felt the rich life force in the air and felt extremely comfortable in every part of her body, and her spirits were lifted.
Tang Ya's voice held a hint of shock: "Xiao Yuhao, is this the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well you mentioned before?"
Detailed information about the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has not been passed down in the records of the Tang Sect.
The world only knows that the original Shrek Seven Devils obtained a magical herb in a mysterious treasure land, laying the foundation for their future ascension to godhood. However, the exact location of that treasure land remains an unsolved mystery.
However, in a way, it might be fortunate that the Tang Clan didn't know the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Otherwise, given the Tang Clan's continuous decline, it would probably have been wiped out long ago for possessing such a valuable treasure.
However, looking at it from another perspective, if the Tang Sect had been able to continuously obtain immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to cultivate its disciples, it is unknown whether it would have declined to its current state.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Gu Yuena frowned slightly as she gazed at the peculiar lake, her ethereal voice carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion.
"So, the remains of those two were left here?"
If the suppression of her consciousness from the Douluo Continent had not been constantly weakening, she would not have been able to perceive the remaining aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon King so clearly.
As this suppression gradually weakens, perhaps in the near future, she will be able to rediscover the exact location of the Dragon God's Heart, which was lost in the Douluo plane.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's gaze towards Huo Yuhao became even more meaningful.
As Huo Yuhao and the others slowly approached, the various immortal herbs in the valley swayed gently, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering to each other.
Over the past year, the abundant spiritual energy within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been slowly dissipating because Huo Yuhao took away the dragon core left behind by the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
The return of these humans suggests that they are ready to take them away.
The pink petals of the fragrant fairy flower swayed slightly, and its gaze fell on Gu Yuena, who walked straight to the Ice and Fire Spring.
Although it's unclear why the Snow Empress, who had come with this human before, didn't reappear this time, judging from the way she reappeared and the woman's demeanor...
The woman accompanying this human is even more terrifying in strength.
Huo Yuhao looked around at the various immortal herbs, his gaze finally settling on the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and asked.
"Has everyone made a decision yet?"
Youyou, the one who spoke up as the master of the immortal herbs, said, "Human, we have already discussed this. Regardless of whether your so-called soul contract is really as magical as you say."
"As long as you promise us that you won't harm our original forms, and are willing to leave our seeds to cultivate carefully, giving us a chance to grow and reproduce again, then we are all willing to leave this place with you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded: "Of course. Most of you will likely become the soul spirits of my companions in the future, growing together with them. In that case, you can naturally be considered my friends."
"friend?"
The delicate petals swayed even more violently, clearly having no resistance to the word.
It paused for a moment, then released an even more refreshing and delicate fragrance, like that of a virgin.
"Human, you really are a good person."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, and Tang Ya, standing beside him, couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Yuhao, did you hear that? You're such a good person."
The pink petals swayed slightly, and she didn't quite understand why the human woman was laughing.
It asked hesitantly, "But human, how do you plan to safely take all these magical herbs with you?"
"Wait a mininute."
Huo Yuhao began chanting an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation, and with his right hand, he sketched a gray six-pointed star pattern. An aura full of deathly silence and chilling intent began to flow outwards as the six-pointed star took shape.
A pitch-black gate, exuding an ominous aura, appeared behind Huo Yuhao.
The fairy herbs, which had initially shown some curiosity and eagerness, suddenly fell silent after sensing the intense aura of death and annihilation. Their gently swaying flowers and leaves froze.
They couldn't help but start to wonder, something didn't seem right about what the human had taken out.
After a while, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin spoke hesitantly and cautiously: "Human, your ability seems a bit abnormal."
Huo Yuhao straightened his face and said seriously, "You're all looking too much at appearances."
As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and the light on the surface of the door to the dead, which had originally been emanating a thick black aura, shifted and transformed into a soft and holy white light, radiating a reassuring aura.
"You've been here too long and haven't seen enough. You need to see beyond the surface. Look at this appearance; it's something I can easily replace. The key is the inner essence."
"Moreover, this is a demiplane created by my teacher. I have already put the dragon pills that I took from here before into it. I even put a small piece of life gold in it to take care of you immortal herbs that are not of the ice or fire attribute."
At this point, Huo Yuhao's emotions also showed a strange fluctuation.
"Do you know what the Gold of Life is? The life force of the Star Dou Great Forest over two hundred thousand years might only condense into this small amount. The life energy it contains is an unparalleled treasure for any living being."
That piece of "Life Gold" was an extra gift from Gu Yuena to Huo Yuhao after he told her about it.
As for the "price" paid, it's all bitter tears to tell.
After a brief and friendly exchange, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya began transplanting them one by one into the undead demiplane.
Gu Yuena, who had been standing quietly by the Ice and Fire Spring, seemingly fiddling with something, finally made a move.
The aura of the Silver Dragon King began to erupt from her body, instantly enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The entire Ice and Fire Spring began to boil and vibrate violently.
The elemental energy of heaven and earth that had originally dissipated from the spring water began to re-gather under the influence of Gu Yuena's aura.
On the churning lake surface, two enormous pillars of light shot into the sky, and the icy and fiery spring water, attracted by the pillars, continuously gushed upwards and converged within them.
Before long, the once vast lake of ice and fire dried up completely.
The light from the two dazzling pillars gradually dimmed, eventually revealing two dragon skeletons, one pure white and the other crimson, as clear and translucent as crystal.
Gu Yuena gazed at the two dragon skeletons, a rare hint of sorrow and remembrance appearing in her eyes.
She remained silent for a moment, then silently waved her hand and collected the remains of the two Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Huo Yuhao, who had stopped transplanting the immortal herb as soon as Gu Yuena revealed her aura and created such a huge commotion, also noticed that Gu Yuena's emotions were not right at the moment.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and came to Gu Yuena's side. He instinctively hugged her and whispered, "I told you my story last time. When will you tell me yours?"
Gu Yuena pressed her cheek against Huo Yuhao's chest, her nose filled with his reassuring scent.
She rubbed against him a few times, her voice tinged with sadness.
"My story isn't as exciting as yours, but if you're willing to listen, I'll tell you it slowly, little by little, in the future."
Tang Ya, who had just come out of the gate of the dead, happened to see the two of them hugging and whispering to each other.
She felt like she had been unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
But what can we do?
One is her boss, and the other is a "Title Douluo" level deity, while she is just a miserable employee.
Life is tough, Xiaoya sighed.
……
Before Huo Yuhao was about to transplant the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item to the Undead Demiplane, a small purple stamen peeked out from the petals.
It looked around, as if savoring something, or perhaps saying its final goodbye.
A moment later, the purple stamen trembled slightly, and a pure white book emerged from it, floating towards Huo Yuhao.
"Human, I'm leaving here soon anyway. That person hasn't come back to see us even once in tens of thousands of years. Since you and that person don't get along, then I'll give you this thing he left behind."
Huo Yuhao wasn't particularly interested in the book, whose origins he already knew and which contained parts of the Tang Sect's lost medicine and poison manuals. He simply handed the book to Tang Ya beside him.
"Sister Xiaoya, I think this thing should still belong to you."
Tang Ya took the book with some confusion.
She had some vague guesses about the person that Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin mentioned.
Tang Ya only glanced through a few pages before her face turned deathly pale, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her eyes.
She looked up at Huo Yuhao, her voice trembling slightly, and asked, "Yuhao, can you tell Sister Xiaoya now? How do you know so much about me?"
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Tang Ya's mind.
Why did Huo Yuhao know so many secrets about the Tang Sect?
Why did Huo Yuhao know that her parents were killed by the Iron Blood Sect?
Why would Huo Yuhao know the secret about her talent that only she and her parents knew?
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then walked up to Tang Ya and gently touched her brow.
"Sister Xiaoya, don't resist."
With a slight mental fluctuation, Tang Ya sensed the new information about the Mysterious Heaven Skill that had appeared in her mind.
That was the complete cultivation method of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, far more profound and mysterious than what she was currently cultivating.
Tang Ya's bright phoenix eyes were now filled with a sense of confusion and bewilderment.
"Little Yuhao, are you perhaps a reincarnation of an ancestor?"
Hearing Tang Ya's words, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat helpless.
He didn't believe that Tang Ya, with her intelligence, wouldn't notice something.
The way she's saying this now sounds like she's making a last-ditch effort, hoping things won't go in the direction she least wants to see.
Huo Yuhao gently tapped Tang Ya's head.
"Unfortunately, I am not the reincarnation of your ancestor. In fact, I am the greatest enemy of your Tang Clan. So, Sister Xiaoya, is it still not too late for you to leave the Spirit Pagoda?"
"Xiao Yuhao, if he's unwilling to leave behind a true legacy, why use his past glory to bind us generation after generation? Is it just to glorify his greatness?"
Tang Ya reached out and tightly grasped Huo Yuhao's sleeve, her voice becoming very soft.
"I'm suddenly feeling a little tired. Can I lean on your shoulder for a bit, just for a moment? Okay?"
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Tang Ya gently rested her head on his shoulder.
Without a record of the cultivation method to connect the eight extraordinary meridians, the Xuan Tian Gong can never be cultivated to its greatest level.
Since the Xuan Tian Gong is incomplete, are the other Tang Clan martial arts also incomplete?
If our ancestors had been able to preserve the complete legacy of the Tang Clan, would the Tang Clan have not declined so drastically, and would our parents not have been so cruelly murdered?
You have already become a high and mighty god, so why do you do this?
Tang Ya closed her eyes, unwilling to think any further.
Youyou sensed that the atmosphere around her had become a bit strange, and she couldn't help but wonder to herself if she should have taken out that book earlier.
It cautiously asked, "Um, could you please transplant me to your demiplane first?"
"Once you've settled me in, you can continue to huddle together and pour out your hearts to each other. Right now, I'm the only immortal herb left here, and I feel a little lonely."
Just then, Gu Yuena, seeing that Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya had not returned, walked out of the gate of the dead.
Seeing this, her eyes flickered slightly. She had only left for a short while, so how did things turn out like this?
Gu Yuena's gaze then fell on the only outsider present, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin.
Youyou felt a chill creep over her and began to tremble even more.
