Ten Thousand Years Later

Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Water Lily Jade Muscle Bone, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

All four Immortal Herbs had been swallowed into Huo Yuhao's belly. Located at the center of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, dense Heaven and Earth Yuan Power enveloped him.

Huo Yuhao felt a numbing sensation spread through his entire body. Under the effect of Water Lily Jade Muscle Bone, the meridians within him were widened, and the flow of his Soul Power became more than twice as fast as before—several times faster, in fact. It was as if all his meridians had been opened. Huo Yuhao took a deep, comfortable breath, and his body gradually relaxed, fully accepting the transformation brought by the four Immortal Herbs and the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Placed at the center of the two pools of Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold, Huo Yuhao's body bobbed up and down, soon sinking entirely beneath the surface.

On a cliff by the shore, Xue Qinghe, after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, burst forth with dazzling golden light. His whole person seemed forged from gold, and his aura became exceptionally sacred.

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace.

Dugu Bo, clad in an Ink Green tight-fitting outfit with ink-green long hair and ink-green eyes, faced his savior Prince Xue Xing with some difficulty containing his gratitude: "Prince, thank you for your care these past days. However, this Old Man has urgent matters at home that require my immediate return."

"Sir Dugu, what are you saying? To have met you is this Prince's honor. May I ask what urgent matters you have at home? Is there anything this Prince can help with?"

Dugu Bo had a solitary nature and preferred to act alone. Having been saved by Prince Xue Xing this time, he knew he owed the other a favor.

Faced with Prince Xue Xing's repeated attempts to keep him, Dugu Bo reluctantly agreed to stay one more day and leave tomorrow.

Dugu Bo's right eyebrow twitched involuntarily. In recent days, Prince Xue Xing's behavior had been somewhat strange, and his excessive warmth gave Dugu Bo an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

That night, Xue Qinghe was the first to awaken. The golden light bursting from his body gradually converged, and an intangible sacred pressure spread across every part of him. Strands of golden radiance, one after another, surged into the center of his brow.

"My Soul Power actually jumped four levels." Xue Qinghe could hardly believe it. Just yesterday, he had obtained his Sixth Soul Ring, and now, in a single night, his Soul Power had broken through four levels in succession, finally settling at Level 65.

Xue Qinghe punched toward the sky. An incredibly terrifying force accumulated in his fists. As the punch was thrown, a vacuum-formed fist shadow caused the dark clouds that had lingered above the valley for who knows how long to suddenly disperse, revealing the pitch-black sky and twinkling stars.

"What a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. My current state is unprecedented. Even circulating my Soul Power is several times faster than usual." Xue Qinghe was overjoyed. Then he looked down at the open space below.

"And Huo Little Brother?" Xue Qinghe asked the two people behind him.

"Your Highness, Huo Yuhao jumped into the pool after taking the herbs," Snake Lance Douluo replied.

"He jumped into the pool!"

Xue Qinghe leaped from the cliff, landing fifty meters from the pool. Even at that distance, he could clearly feel the alternating waves of Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold.

"Only now do I truly believe, Huo Yuhao, that you really are a person from Ten Thousand Years Later." Xue Qinghe's tone was firm.

Inside the pool, it was pitch black. Huo Yuhao's mind and body were completely immersed. A foul black mud-like substance emerged on his skin, but in the next second, it was diluted clean by the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.

The blocked meridians within Huo Yuhao's body, including the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, were all opened. After consuming Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Huo Yuhao gradually grew accustomed to being enveloped by the two extreme Heaven and Earth Yuan Powers of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire.

The Next Day, the sun rose.

Dugu Bo, seen off by Prince Xue Xing, walked all the way to Heaven Dou City. Watching Dugu Bo's distant figure, Prince Xue Xing looked into the distance and said with a Bitter Smile: "Qinghe, what exactly are you planning? Your uncle could only keep Old Poison for three days. I hope you can return as soon as possible."

Boom—

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the long-silent valley seemed to awaken.

Huo Yuhao revived from the pool. His whole person was drenched, but the moment he came into contact with the Extreme Fire Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, his clothes dried instantly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Crown Prince." Huo Yuhao landed back on the ground and smiled at Xue Qinghe.

"Just one night, not too long. How do you feel after taking the Immortal Herbs?" Xue Qinghe asked with some anticipation.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were clearer than before, his pupils sharply contrasting black and white. If one looked closely, they would notice that Huo Yuhao's eyes bore Dual Pupils, and the other pupil was actually gray.

A powerful Mental Power rapidly expanded, occupying every corner of the valley. Huo Yuhao made an intuitive assessment. After taking Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his maximum Mental Power coverage had reached Five Hundred Meters, and his Sea of Spirit had also tripled in size.

The Mental Power enhancement from the Immortal Herbs was not limited to this. His body had been completely transformed. Water Lily Jade Muscle Bone had opened all the blocked meridians in Huo Yuhao's body, and even his Soul Power had broken through nine consecutive levels.

Currently, Huo Yuhao had reached the Level 20 bottleneck, meeting Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's requirements.

"Xiao Yuhao! If Ge were a girl, I'd marry you! You're amazing!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's delighted voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, then looked at Xue Qinghe: "Soul Power broke through nine levels in a row. I've reached Level 20."

Compared to Xue Qinghe's four-level increase from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Huo Yuhao's nine-level jump to the Level 20 bottleneck was within Xue Qinghe's expectations.

After all, going from Soul Master to Soul Grand Master was a process of Soul Power accumulation.

"What are your plans next?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"Naturally, to sweep this place clean of all Immortal Herbs." Huo Yuhao then added: "But I don't have a Storage Soul Tool, and these Immortal Herbs can't be stored in one. If only I had a soul tool that could hold living things."

"Here, take this."

Suddenly, Snake Lance Douluo handed over a Dark Green Pocket-like pouch.

"Your Excellency, this is?" Huo Yuhao was startled inwardly. He was Just Saying, but you're this generous!

"The Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. I acquired it by chance at the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House when I was bored. You've done His Highness a great favor, so consider this little trinket a gift."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

At This Moment, Huo Yuhao didn't refuse. Taking the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch from Snake Lance Douluo, he turned into a demon, sweeping the area clean of herbs. Following That, he buried the seeds of the Immortal Herbs back into the soil.

Huo Yuhao patted the dirt and smiled: "Little Fellows, we'll meet again 10,000 Years Later!"
