Ice and Fire Dragon Kings

The warm current flowing from his Martial Soul had yet to truly join the battle before Mu Zhe sent it back, while the ice and fire energies continued their struggle.

Upon entering the spring, Mu Zhe could feel a stimulating force accelerating the effects of the ice and fire energies.

Even so, this body tempering took a full half day. By the time he emerged from the spring, it was already dawn the next day.

Spreading out his Spiritual Power, Mu Zhe sensed a powerful presence—a Titled Douluo.

"Dugu Bo is back?"

After muttering that, Mu Zhe shook his head. He had probably sent Dugu Yan back first, then returned to use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to purge his toxins.

With a flicker of his figure, Mu Zhe reached Dugu Bo's side within a few breaths.

"Mr. Dugu, I'll be cultivating for quite a long time this time. Please let Yan Yan know, so she won't worry."

Green poisonous mist surrounded Dugu Bo. He opened his dark green eyes, and it was obvious he had just been circulating his poison cultivation technique.

He shot Mu Zhe an irritated glance. "Cultivate if you want. Why tell me?"

The Soul Power here was violent, but it was also incredibly dense. He only needed to find a place to sit cross-legged and cultivate directly. Why tell him?

"I'll be cultivating in that spring. I'm telling you so you won't think I've gone missing."

"What? That spring?"

Dugu Bo immediately cried out in alarm. Mu Zhe had given him quite a fright. This was no joke—the extreme aura within that spring was more than even he dared endure for long.

Cultivating in there? Wasn't that like lighting a lamp in a toilet—looking to get himself killed?

He did not care whether Mu Zhe lived or died, but what would happen to his granddaughter?

Not to mention that her poison had yet to be cured; she might even be heartbroken over him!

"No, you can't joke about something like this!"

"You're exceptionally talented, kid. There's absolutely no need for such an extreme method of cultivation."

Despite his young age, Mu Zhe was already a Soul Elder. His cultivation speed surpassed ordinary people by far. In Dugu Bo's senses, Mu Zhe's Soul Power had grown even stronger since their first meeting.

Although his Soul Power Level had not changed, the degree of compression in his Soul Power was no weaker than that of a Soul King.

"I would never joke with my life. Since I'm cultivating in there, I naturally have confidence in it."

Mu Zhe's attitude was firm, as though there was no possibility of him giving up.

In the end, after Mu Zhe talked him around for a while, Dugu Bo stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, he most admired promising young men with ambition like Mu Zhe.

Watching Mu Zhe turn and head toward the spring, Dugu Bo shook his head. "As expected, a genius is a genius. Even his method of cultivation is so different from everyone else's."

Mu Zhe's method of cultivation also made him fully accept the fact that he was already a Soul Elder at such a young age.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo felt his mind grow muddled.

Had that kid Mu Zhe just stood in his poisonous mist without suffering the slightest harm?

What sort of bizarre ability was that?

What Dugu Bo did not know was that after Mu Zhe consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, not only had his body become stronger, but he had also obtained the Golden Body that should have belonged to Tang San—immune to both ice and fire, impervious to all poisons.

Thus, the poisonous mist Dugu Bo emitted could not harm him.

"Ah Yin, I'll be cultivating in there for a long time. Take good care of yourself."

Mu Zhe walked over to Ah Yin and reminded her, casually pulling over a vine and winding it around his fingers as he played with it.

"You..."

"Then be careful."

Feeling her body being toyed with, Ah Yin immediately flushed with embarrassment. Yet she still endured her shame and gently reminded him.

Even she herself had not noticed that after Mu Zhe refined the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, she had become extremely close to him. Many times, she simply could not refuse Mu Zhe's unreasonable actions.

"Mm."

After responding, Mu Zhe released Ah Yin. He walked to the edge of the spring, put away his clothes as usual, and leaped into the water.

Looking toward the bottom of the spring, a fiery gleam flashed through Mu Zhe's eyes.

Ever since he had forged his Golden Body in the spring, a craving had risen from deep within him. It was even stronger than when he encountered the Immortal Herbs outside. There was something good below.

Mu Zhe had considered that there might be danger below, but with Void as his trump card, he would never easily give up before encountering an obstacle he could not overcome.

The spring water did not harm him. After consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, he had gained a certain degree of resistance. Back then, the spring water had even helped him refine the medicinal effects.

After Mu Zhe forged his Golden Body, soaking in the spring water even felt comfortable.

Of course, only Mu Zhe had such qualifications. If anyone else, such as Dugu Bo, fell into the spring, they might not last even a breath.

The light in the spring was extremely dim, and the deeper he went, the darker it became. After diving several dozen meters, visibility had dropped to less than half a meter.

Mu Zhe spread out his Spiritual Power, but when it reached several dozen meters away, he felt resistance. The spring water severely restricted Spiritual Power.

He then released his Spirit Rings and used their glow to illuminate the way ahead. However, he soon gave up. Other than crimson and milky white, there was nothing in his vision but spring water.

In the end, Mu Zhe simply withdrew his Spirit Rings and followed the direction guided by his heart, continuously diving at the point where the Yang Spring and Yin Spring met.

He did not know how much time had passed. Gradually, the spring water that had originally felt extremely comfortable to Mu Zhe became wildly violent. The moment he drifted away from the point where yin and yang converged, he immediately felt either bone-chilling cold or scorching heat.

As expected, the space below is larger.

Mu Zhe understood. The corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were buried below. It could not possibly be as small as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well above.

After all, those two had been God-tier in life. Their true forms could not have been small.

As Mu Zhe continued descending, the surrounding space grew larger and larger. He could even see the light emanating from below, brightly illuminating this stretch of spring water.

Bang!

A dull impact rang out, and a faint pain came from Mu Zhe's head. It seemed he had hit something.

"Ice?"

He had been focused on diving earlier, and with visibility so low, Mu Zhe had not examined his surroundings carefully.

He touched the object blocking his path. On the side of the cold spring, the bitter cold seemed unaffected by the scorching heat next door, forming a thick layer of frost.

He then looked toward the Yang Spring. Although there was no obvious phenomenon there, he could sense the heart-palpitating heat within it.

I should be close to the bottom!

Mu Zhe was invigorated. A trace of purple flashed through his eager eyes as he looked toward the bottom of the spring.

The frozen region stretched for over a dozen miles. At its end lay a colossal creature, its azure body sprawled upon the ground, its head raised upward as though roaring at the heavens.

If his judgment was correct, this should be the remains of the Ice Dragon King.

On the other side, at the bottom of the Yang Spring, another colossal creature lay sprawled there. Aside from its color, its form was very similar to the Ice Dragon King's. These were the remains of the Fire Dragon King.

Suppressing his excitement slightly, Mu Zhe looked at the ice before him. Ice of an extreme attribute, its hardness far surpassed that of any metal on Douluo Continent.

However, though the ice was hard, it still could not stop Mu Zhe's advance.

Soul Power surged. In the next moment, Mu Zhe entered the Void State and passed straight through the solid ice, continuing downward.
