First Seize Tang San's Opportunity

The two Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows were Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, primarily responsible for Qian Renxue's safety in Heaven Dou City.

This time, they had ventured deep into Sunset Forest specifically to test whether Huo Yuhao truly came from ten thousand years in the future. Earlier, when Huo Yuhao mentioned the landscape of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, they had only debated the conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Masters.

Now, hearing from Huo Yuhao's own mouth that the Martial Soul Hall had been destroyed ten thousand years ago, both Titled Douluo's faces changed greatly. They exchanged glances, all of them deeply shaken by Huo Yuhao's words just now.

Taking advantage of Dugu Bo's absence, Huo Yuhao planned to head to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye in Sunset Forest and strip it of all its Immortal Herbs. Such a golden opportunity was truly hard to come by.

Of course, Huo Yuhao alone crossing the beast-filled Sunset Forest was clearly impossible, and with the Immortal Herbs right before his eyes, he absolutely could not let them go.

At times like this, one had to learn cooperation. Huo Yuhao wasn't worried that Qian Renxue would threaten him or harm him.

Even if it came to that, Huo Yuhao had already figured out a way to return to ten thousand years later.

Xue Qinghe's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, then he acted as if nothing had happened, even clapping in approval: "Good! The future destruction of the Martial Soul Hall benefits my Heaven Dou Empire. Might I ask which outstanding figure possessed such great ability?"

Seeing Xue Qinghe's composed expression, Huo Yuhao had to admire Qian Renxue's depth. He no longer hesitated.

The original owner, Huo Yuhao, had been trained like a dog by Tang San. Huo Hao, having taken Huo Yuhao's place, still carried this grudge.

Huo Yuhao said: "The era I live in is ten thousand years from now. According to history books, Tang Sect founder Tang San, after becoming a god, defeated both the Martial Soul Hall Master Bibi Dong, who had also inherited a Godhood Position, and another god. In the end, the Martial Soul Hall was destroyed."

Xue Qinghe was momentarily stunned, then asked after a long pause: "Tang Sect? But I've never heard of this sect before."

"The Tang Sect hasn't been founded yet. The current Tang San is still just an ordinary student. In the upcoming All Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, I believe he will make his appearance," Huo Yuhao reminded him.

"The latest All Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament will be held five years from now. Thank you for the information. If all this proves true, I don't know how to thank you," Xue Qinghe said with a warm smile, looking extremely approachable.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, looking up at the Ink Black Sky: "I just want to return to my own era as soon as possible."

"Why? Isn't this Douluo Continent?" Xue Qinghe asked in confusion.

"With a blood feud unavenged, how can I afford to stagnate?" Huo Yuhao's eyes were desolate. He couldn't help but think of his mother's twelve years of day-and-night companionship, as if her voice and smile were still from yesterday.

Xue Qinghe remained silent, watching the tears welling up in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He took a few extra glances at him and made a decision in his heart: if what Huo Yuhao said was true, then no matter what, he would change this already destined history.

The next day, in the early morning, dewdrops hung on the verdant forest. Taking advantage of the dissipating morning mist, Huo Yuhao, Xue Qinghe, and the two Titled Douluo set out again.

This time, their pace was noticeably faster. Since Xue Qinghe had ordered that Dugu Bo not return before they left, Prince Xue Xing, though he didn't understand the Crown Prince's reasons, still kept Dugu Bo occupied.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in confusion: "Yuhao, why did you tell this kid so much about our era? You're from ten thousand years later, and he's from ten thousand years ago. You're not from the same era; you'll have to part ways sooner or later."

"Brother Tianmeng, do you know who he is?" Huo Yuhao had a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Brother can't be bothered to know that. Brother only knows that the one I chose is you. In the future, you must cultivate hard."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and didn't reveal that Qian Renxue was the first human to become a god.

Sunset Forest was teeming with soul beasts, making it the preferred hunting ground for Heaven Dou City's Soul Masters.

Finally, they reached their destination.

"Your Highness, there's a poisonous fog ahead blocking our path. I've dealt with that Old Poison before; this poison is definitely his handiwork."

Xue Qinghe nodded. The air carried a faint mix of fishy and fragrant scents, effectively blocking soul beasts and Soul Masters from entering.

"Leave it to you." Xue Qinghe was also curious about what treasures the Old Poison had at home that Huo Yuhao valued so highly.

Dugu Bo wasn't part of the Martial Soul Hall and had even been hunted by them before, so Xue Qinghe naturally had no reason to be polite.

Pufferfish Douluo stepped forward, his entire body shrouded in red light. He took a deep breath, and the poisonous barrier visibly entered his stomach. In no time at all, the poisonous fog vanished without a trace.

Soon, a towering mountain appeared before them.

"The entrance is at the top of the mountain. The mountain's interior is completely hollowed out."

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Snake Lance Douluo stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Huo Yuhao's waist, and leaped into the air toward the peak. Xue Qinghe revealed a pair of pure white swan wings on his back, while Pufferfish Douluo followed silently behind Xue Qinghe.

The mountain soared into the clouds. Standing at the mountain's mouth, Huo Yuhao gazed down at the interior, completely obscured by clouds, as a wave of heat surged toward him.

"Your Highness, this Huo little brother is right. I have a feeling there's something good down there." Snake Lance Douluo's eyes lit up.

"Good! Let's prepare to go down!" Xue Qinghe could barely contain himself.

Just then, Huo Yuhao said: "When we go down, don't descend from the center. Descend as slowly as possible along both sides."

"Why do that?" Pufferfish Douluo asked.

"The place we're going to is called the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. In its center are two crescent-shaped pools of water, one with extreme heat and the other with extreme cold."

"How do you know so much?"

Soon, with Snake Lance Douluo's help, Huo Yuhao descended slowly. During the descent, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but ask.

"Because I come from ten thousand years later!" Huo Yuhao replied with a smile.

"Is that so? I'm becoming more and more interested in you." Xue Qinghe looked at Huo Yuhao, then turned his gaze downward.

"Yuhao! We've come to the right place! The two pools before us contain the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire. If you cultivate here, it shouldn't take long for you to quickly raise your Soul Power to Level 20." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said in surprise, also sensing the extremely rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Power.

"So beautiful!" Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled with wonder.

Snake Lance and Pufferfish, both Titled Douluo, were also greatly shocked.

The valley before them wasn't large, but the most striking features were two distinctly separate lakes—one ice-white and one fiery red, emitting extreme cold and extreme heat respectively. The valley was covered in medicinal herbs everywhere. Even the two experienced Titled Douluo found themselves dazzled, unable to take it all in.
