Moving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

After bidding farewell to his grandmother, parents, and aunt, Zhuang Xingyu left through the Family Secret Passage.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Zhuang Xingyu was still in secluded cultivation within the family. Meals continued to be delivered to his courtyard every day, and the bowls always came back spotless.

Wearing a Human Skin Mask, Zhuang Xingyu traveled at an unhurried pace without taking a carriage. Along the way, he observed the local customs and scenery. Some people quarreled, some laughed, children were born, and elders passed away... Though surrounded by the mortal world, he remained untouched by it. His state of mind was elevated, and his Spiritual Power grew rapidly.

A day later, he was still forty kilometers from Sunset Forest. Judging by the time, Dugu Bo should have already left by now.

"My father and mother really spoil me. I've told them so many times that I don't need guards, yet they still sent so many hidden guards."

After reaching an uninhabited place, Zhuang Xingyu used the Chaos Bead to sense his surroundings. There was an aura at level eighty-four, which should belong to the Seven Core Clan Elders. In addition, there were two Soul Saints and six Soul Emperors.

The Seven Core Clan Elders had always cared deeply for the younger generation of the family. As the vice dean of the Family Academy, he was responsible for answering the cultivation questions of the juniors. He placed extraordinary importance on Zhuang Xingyu, the family's greatest genius, and had personally come to protect him in secret this time.

Zhuang Xingyu immediately wrote a letter and flung it in the direction of the Seven Core Clan Elders. Then, he activated Azure Cloud Steps and swiftly departed.

After catching the letter, the Seven Core Clan Elders immediately gave chase. Yet after ten minutes, he found that the distance between them had only grown larger, until Zhuang Xingyu vanished completely.

Left with no choice, he opened the letter. It read, "Ninth Grandfather, I've already discovered you. You don't need to follow me. You've seen my perception and speed. If I want to escape, even a late-stage Soul Douluo won't be able to catch me easily. I'll keep a low profile, so you don't need to worry about my safety. I want to gain experience on my own. Please return to the family quickly!"

The Seven Core Clan Elders smiled helplessly. Watching Zhuang Xingyu's rapid growth, he revealed a gratified smile. "He's grown up, he's grown up. The Young Clan Leader can stand on his own now. The family's revival is within reach, within reach!"

He then burned the letter and departed with the others.

After running another five kilometers, Zhuang Xingyu used the Chaos Bead to confirm that the family guards were no longer following him and that there were no living creatures nearby. Judging by the time, Dugu Bo had already taken his granddaughter to obtain a soul ring.

Zhuang Xingyu immediately pictured the appearance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as described in the novel and poured Spiritual Power into the Chaos Bead. In an instant, with a sharp whoosh, purple light wrapped around him, tore through space, and carried him far away.

Unfortunately, his current strength was still too weak. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located in the heart of Sunset Forest, where there were many soul beasts over fifty thousand years old. They were not opponents Zhuang Xingyu could handle right now.

He had to use the Chaos Bead's one teleportation function. Otherwise, he could have done many more meaningful things with it.

Very soon, Zhuang Xingyu arrived at a hot spring. The spring was not large and was oval-shaped. Its water had two distinct colors, milky white and vermilion red, clearly divided from one another. This was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Zhuang Xingyu surveyed his surroundings. This was an inverted cone-shaped valley, with its highest point roughly five hundred meters above sea level. Billowing heat surged from the opening above, and anyone unaware of the truth would have thought this was an active volcano.

Zhuang Xingyu no longer hesitated. He strode forward, intending to sweep away every medicinal herb! He would not leave even a single one for Tang San!

As for Dugu Bo, these things were born of heaven and raised by earth; they had never belonged to Dugu Bo in the first place. Perhaps Dugu Bo had taken them from someone else as well. That was how Douluo Continent worked: you robbed me, and I robbed you. On Douluo Continent, the kinder someone was, the faster they died! Their kindness could even bring disaster upon their families.

However! Zhuang Xingyu would still leave Dugu Bo a method to detoxify himself, along with several pills to help Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan resolve their poison problems. They could even raise his Soul Power by one level.

He would not use this to threaten Dugu Bo into agreeing to three conditions, making him serve for his life like Tang San had.

Nor did he have any intention of recruiting Dugu Bo, because his family had enough talented people! With Immortal Herbs, many members of the family would be able to break through to Titled Douluo.

Besides, with such limited resources, if he neglected the utterly loyal clansmen within his own family in favor of winning over an outsider of unknown character and no sense of belonging, then someone would have had to kick him in the head.

Zhuang Xingyu would not be so foolish as to act like a Simp, refusing to give treasures to his own relatives while stupidly handing them to someone who was destined to become an enemy and whom he had barely exchanged a few words with.

Tang San only completely won over Dugu Bo after obtaining a God Trial. At that time, both Dugu Bo and Tang San shared a common enemy, Spirit Hall. More importantly, Tang San had Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect behind him, as well as the Golden Iron Triangle, who could contend with Dugu Bo to some extent.

Although his family currently had seventeen Soul Douluo and had no reason to fear Dugu Bo, there was simply no need for it!

His goal was only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Now that he could achieve that goal so easily, there was no need to provoke a Titled Douluo before the family had recovered its strength, even if he was the weakest of Titled Douluo.

Just as Zhuang Xingyu was about to harvest Immortal Herbs such as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, an unexpected change occurred!

The Chaos Bead within his sea of consciousness suddenly emitted purple light, as excited as Guan Zhong when he met Bao Shuya.

It buzzed nonstop!

No longer did it resemble an ordinary broken bead as it usually did. Strange patterns emerged across its surface, as though they were telling some ancient legend.

It emitted a faint glow, as though a mysterious force flowed within it. When one touched it, it seemed to release an invisible energy that left one shaken and filled with strength.

The interior of the Chaos Bead churned violently. Strands of Innate Spiritual Power spilled out, unexpectedly forming the embryonic shape of a Chaos World. Though it was only tiny, less than one trillion-trillion-trillionth of its complete state, it was still a world capable of continuously evolving!

If he could control this complete world during the teleportation process and allow it to keep advancing, he could use it to prove the Dao through strength! He might even become an existence on par with the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

But all of that was far too distant for the current Zhuang Xingyu.

Suddenly, the Chaos Bead released an immense suction force toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Then, with a deafening BOOM, it directly swallowed the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the Chaos Bead!

The valley instantly became cold, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well vanished along with it, leaving only a deep pit roughly two thousand meters wide!

Before long, surging groundwater filled it, forming a lake! There was no longer the slightest trace that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had ever existed.

The Chaos Bead had just drained the Spiritual Power from Zhuang Xingyu's body, leaving him somewhat exhausted. Before he could sit down to meditate and rest, the Chaos Bead fed back a stream of purple Spiritual Power. It was actually a strand of Chaos Qi!!!

One had to know that Chaos Qi was the earliest form of energy. It existed only during the initial formation of a world or when a world advanced.

Any world that could not advance would gradually decline. Its Chaos Qi would weaken into Innate Spiritual Qi, its Innate Spiritual Qi would weaken into Acquired Spiritual Qi, and eventually all Spiritual Qi would disappear, turning it into an age devoid of cultivation.

The current Douluo Continent was in the stage where Innate Spiritual Qi was declining into Acquired Spiritual Qi. Only the God Realm still possessed some Innate Spiritual Qi. So-called divine positions were most likely a form of world authority condensed from Innate Spiritual Qi. As for God King Positions and Creation God positions, they were likely condensed from a tiny amount of Chaos Qi.

In other words, with this complete strand of Chaos Qi, Zhuang Xingyu possessed the foundation to create his own Creation God position!!!
