The secluded grounds of the Clear Sky Sect lay within the Heaven Dou Empire, nestled in a remote mountain range east of Heaven Dou City.

It was not actually far from Sunset Forest; they could reach it in about three days at most.

Tang Yu did not idle away the journey. He meditated and cultivated in the carriage the entire way.

Three days later.

The two finally arrived outside Sunset Forest.

"Is this Sunset Forest?" Looking at the vast, shadowy forest before him, Tang Yu's spirits rose with excitement.

"Yu'er! Let's go! Father will lead you in and kill our way through!"

"Alright!"

Sunset Forest was fraught with danger. Not only did it contain a great number of thousand-year Poisonous Soul Beasts and Poison Fog Forests, but it also held all kinds of Poison Arrays laid down by Dugu Bo.

An ordinary Soul Saint-level powerhouse would most likely die if they trespassed here on their own.

But this was no challenge for a peak level-93 Titled Douluo like Tang Tian!

He used his outwardly released Soul Power to block the poisonous mist. The thousand-year Soul Beasts they encountered along the way were practically children before him, each one blasted to death by Tang Tian's domineering hammer strikes.

Tang Tian also dismantled every Poison Array they came across.

"So strong! A Titled Douluo is truly terrifying!" Tang Yu marveled inwardly as he watched Tang Tian display his strength along the way.

Before long, the two easily fought their way into the core region of Sunset Forest and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

"We're finally here!"

Tang Tian swept his gaze around as his powerful Spiritual Power spread out to investigate, but he found no trace of Dugu Bo. "Looks like we're lucky. Dugu Bo isn't here."

"He isn't? Well, Dugu Bo couldn't possibly stay here all the time."

"The environment and climate here are extraordinarily unique. There may truly be Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng here. Yu'er, let's look around."

Father and son gradually ventured deeper inside.

Finally, Tang Yu saw it!

The springs of ice and fire, as well as the Immortal Herbs around them, each radiating a strange glow.

"Yu'er! Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng! There really is Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng here! Two stalks! There are actually two stalks!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!" Tang Tian, usually a man of few words, could no longer contain his excitement and burst into loud laughter.

He was overjoyed!

This way, he and Tang Yu could each absorb one stalk.

They were entirely purple-gold in color, with roots as thick as hammer handles, ginseng tendrils coiled like chains, and leaves at the top shaped like hammerheads, radiating a dense metallic luster.

This was Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng, the Immortal Herb most suited to soul masters with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Tang Yu was equally exhilarated. "Father, I once read records of these unusual plants in an ancient book. Every rare herb here possesses effects no weaker than Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng!"

"Among them, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot on either side of that spring possess top-grade Fire Poison and ice poison. If consumed together, they can greatly strengthen one's constitution, making one Immune to All Poisons and granting a Body Immune to Ice and Fire!"

"What! They have such effects?" Tang Tian asked in astonishment.

"Yes, Father. Now, I want to take those two Immortal Herbs."

"Go ahead, Yu'er."

"Mm!"

Tang Yu nodded.

Then he slowly walked along the path above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, from now on, you're mine!"

After bringing the two Immortal Herbs together, Tang Yu swallowed them simultaneously.

Then he truly jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Splash!

Ice and fire began to frantically erode Tang Yu's body, but within this spring, the medicinal effects of the two Immortal Herbs could be perfectly suppressed and absorbed.

As the minutes passed.

Tang Yu could clearly feel his fleshly body changing. The transformation was extremely apparent, a qualitative leap.

After a long while.

He had completely absorbed the medicinal effects of the two body-tempering Immortal Herbs, achieving Immunity to All Poisons and a Body Immune to Ice and Fire.

His constitution and physical strength had increased severalfold!

At that instant, his Soul Power also broke through to level 30!

It was clearly only a one-level increase in Soul Power, yet Tang Yu felt that his strength had grown tremendously.

"Awesome!"

Splash!

Tang Yu leaped out of the water. His body had transformed; both his strength and speed had clearly increased greatly.

With his current third Soul Ring, absorbing one over four thousand years old should have posed no problem at all.

"These two Immortal Herbs are body-tempering herbs and won't help much with Soul Power. Now that my Soul Power has broken through to level 30, once I obtain my third Soul Ring, I'll be able to absorb the Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng and raise my Soul Power by several more levels!" Tang Yu was in an excellent mood.

Seizing the Immortal Herbs to strengthen himself was also equivalent to weakening Tang San.

Having completed the first task, First Hammer Tang San, Tang Yu was now brimming with confidence.

"Father, let's pack up all these rare herbs and take them away, then head to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my third Soul Ring!" Tang Yu said with a grin.

"Alright!"

Father and son began swiftly harvesting all the mature Immortal Herbs here.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

And the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower—pack them all up!

Take them all!

Tang San wouldn't get a single one!

In less than a few minutes, every mature Immortal Herb in the area had been swept clean.

Tang Yu looked utterly pleased with himself, his mood radiant. "Not bad! Not bad! Without these Immortal Herb resources, more than half of those so-called Shrek Seven Devils are probably finished!"

At the very least, it was certain that without the enhancement of Immortal Herbs, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing would struggle even to break through to the Titled Douluo realm in the future, let alone become gods.

"Father, let's go!"

They had obtained the Immortal Herbs, so naturally they no longer lingered and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Dugu Bo finally returned.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, his face as sinister as a snake's. "The Poison Array has been broken! Someone has entered my cultivation residence!"

Beside him stood a girl with an alluringly strange yet exceptionally beautiful appearance.

This girl was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

"What? Who could be so outrageously bold as to dare trespass into Grandfather's cultivation grounds?"

"Oh no! My herbs!!"

A flash of panic crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.

Though he did not know what great treasures these Immortal Herbs were or what use they had, he had always regarded these rare plants as treasures.

"How preposterous!"

Dugu Bo charged in at once and happened to encounter Tang Yu and Tang Tian, who were preparing to leave.

Seeing that they were still there, Dugu Bo first let out a breath of relief—then he saw that all the Immortal Herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye were gone.

Dugu Bo flew into a rage, killing intent rising. "You're seeking death! How dare you trespass into this old man's cultivation grounds and steal my belongings!!"

Dugu Bo blocked their path.

Dugu Yan hurried up after him as well.

"Yu'er, it seems our luck isn't all that good. To run into him at a time like this..." Tang Tian said helplessly.

"A little imperfection is the normal state of life, Father." Tang Yu shrugged.

Father and son clearly paid no heed to Dugu Bo's fury.
