Douluo Secrets, Part Five: Immortal Herb's Transcendence

[Douluo Secrets, Part Five: Immortal Herb's Transcendence!]

The Sky Screen changed.

A series of grand voices rang out in the minds of all living beings.

At first, people couldn't understand what was happening. But as the Sky Screen's voice explained, the Soul Master World fell silent once more.

[Spiritual Items exist in the world, born of Heaven and Earth!]

[The Douluo Continent is home to countless Rare Treasures that can improve a Soul Master's abilities and even aid in cultivation.]

[Today, we take stock of the secrets of Douluo: Immortal Herbs!]

[It is said that in ancient times, the Dragon God had two children, known as the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. The two Dragon Kings perished in a great battle, and their corpses fell into a lake, imbuing it with both ice and fire attributes.]

[Because of the two Dragon Kings' traits, the lake gradually became a natural wonder—a place known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!]

Under Tang Hao's lead, Tang San was on his way to the City of Slaughter when he suddenly stopped.

Tang Hao looked puzzled. "Xiao San, what's wrong?"

Tang San gazed at the Sky Screen. "Father, I've read about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye mentioned on the Sky Screen in an ancient book. It's a holy land for cultivation."

Naturally, he didn't mention that in his previous life, he had studied the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record in detail. It described a natural wonder called the "Treasure Basin"—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in his knowledge had formed differently from the one described by the Sky Screen. The Sky Screen said it was born when the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King perished, while he remembered it as the convergence of Extreme Yin and Yang energies.

Though the methods of its formation differed, he was certain that this was the same natural wonder recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

It was a Treasure Basin, a place where Spiritual Items of Heaven and Earth were nurtured.

"A holy land for cultivation?"

Tang Hao frowned. "Does the ancient book say how much it can help with cultivation?"

"It does."

Tang San nodded, his expression grave. "The ancient book says it's a Treasure Basin that nurtures Heaven and Earth Strange Items. Even the weakest Spiritual Item there can improve your physique, while the strongest can directly increase your cultivation."

"This..."

Tang Hao hesitated.

Heaven Dou Empire.

Dugu Bo gazed at the Sky Screen, feeling that it looked vaguely familiar.

Star Dou Great Forest.

The Ferocious Beasts all raised their heads.

At the front, the Black Shadow, radiating an overwhelming aura, let its eyes gleam.

"The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's remains?!"

[The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is a natural wonder where Extreme Yin and Yang energies converge. Over the course of centuries or millennia, it can transform the land around it.]

[The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye on the Douluo Continent is no exception. After being nurtured for thousands upon thousands of years, it gave birth to countless Rare Treasures, the most representative of which are the Immortal Herbs!]

[Immortal Herbs can transform the body when swallowed and refined. They can increase cultivation, break shackles, and evolve Martial Souls!]

[For example: Aromatic Silk Beauty is one of the Immortal Herbs nurtured by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. It absorbed the Essence of Sun and Moon and the radiance of Heaven and Earth as it grew. It can break shackles, and a classic example is its ability to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!]

[For example: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can circulate qi through the meridians and forge an Indestructible Body. If swallowed by someone with a Martial Soul of the same type, it can even trigger Secondary Evolution.]

[For example: Lovesick Heartbreak, the King of Immortal Grades, can resurrect the dead and restore flesh to bare bones.]

[The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye on the Douluo Continent lies in a place shrouded in poisonous miasma somewhere in Sunset Forest. Its current master is Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!]

The Sky Screen's voice rippled out like a pebble dropped into water, sending waves surging across the land.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi shot up from his chair and stared at the Sky Screen in disbelief, his body trembling with excitement.

"Martial Soul Evolution? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"

Ning Fengzhi's breath quickened. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, let's head to Sunset Forest at once!"

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had been the pursuit of Ning Fengzhi and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for centuries. His lifelong wish had been to witness Martial Soul Evolution.

Now that he'd finally seen a chance, how could he not be excited?

Sword Bone Douluo were just as stirred.

The boost the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gave them was already astonishing.

But what about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

They couldn't even imagine it. Ning Fengzhi would surely become the greatest Support Titled Douluo in the world, and the sect's overall strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

"Dugu Bo occupies the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. How can a mere Level 92 Titled Douluo deserve it?!"

Sword Bone Douluo's voices rang with authority as they took Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong with them and flew toward Sunset Forest.

Spirit Hall.

Inside Pope's Palace.

Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled when he saw the Sky Screen's images.

Bibi Dong and the others turned to look at him. "Yue Guan, you've always studied herbs. Do you know what these Immortal Herbs can do?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo clasped his fists. His voice trembled with excitement. "Your Holiness, I know what Immortal Herbs can do. There are hundreds of them, and the Sky Screen has likely mentioned only a few. Their uses go far beyond what it described. If we can obtain them, Spirit Hall will surely gain several more Titled Douluo in the future, perhaps even top-level Titled Douluo!"

He knew about Immortal Herbs, especially the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

He had dreamed of obtaining it. Once he swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his Martial Soul could undergo Secondary Evolution and become a God-tier Martial Soul.

Then he would have no more bottlenecks, and reaching Level 99 as a Titled Douluo would be inevitable!

At that moment, he was more excited than anyone.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong raised the Pope Scepter and gave an order. "In that case, you'll lead the team. Head to Sunset Forest at once!"

"What about Dugu Bo?"

"If he dares to resist, kill him!"

"Yes!"

The Worship Hall also sent several Titled Douluo to lead a team to Sunset Forest.

At that moment, all the top forces on the Douluo Continent sprang into action, all bound for Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Core Region.

Several powerful figures appeared, gazing up at the Sky Screen and letting out low growls.

"Sunset Forest..."

"Follow me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and seize the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remains!"

"Yes!"

*

On a mountaintop.

Li Xuan watched the spectacle unfolding among the people below.

"As expected, this secret is enough to change the balance of power on the Douluo Continent. And it'll likely lead to an unavoidable battle."

Immortal Herbs.

When Li Xuan had traveled the continent, he'd visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and taken a few Immortal Herbs suited to him. Even so, he still hadn't swallowed them.

And that wasn't all.

He had also left a contingency in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. He'd originally planned to use it to catch Tang San off guard, but now it had been revealed ahead of time.

He wondered who'd end up getting lucky.

He wasn't interested in Immortal Herbs anymore. What interested him most was a divine position.

As long as one became a god, everything else was meaningless.

"But if a battle breaks out, I can still watch from the sidelines."

Li Xuan chuckled. "After all, human Soul Masters aren't the only ones interested in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. I can also see who triggers the contingency I left behind."

All the forces were on the move.

As the current master of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Dugu Bo had lived there for years. He was completely dumbfounded.

"M-My herb garden has been exposed?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed dramatically. "I never thought those herbs were all Immortal Herbs. According to the Sky Screen, even swallowing one at random could help me break through a bottleneck—or I could give one to Yan Yan..."

At the thought, Dugu Bo drew a deep breath.

"No, I have to take some herbs before those beasts get here!"
