Electrolux

"Welcome to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye!" Huo Yuhao looked around at everything in the valley, relieved, and glad that he had crossed over early enough that Tang San had not yet set foot here.

"Eh? Isn't that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?" Snake Lance Douluo's sharp eyes spotted a golden chrysanthemum growing in a crack in the rocks. It was the very same Martial Soul as Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall.

Huo Yuhao said, "Eating the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum strengthens the limbs and circulates blood through the eight meridians. It can help you cultivate the Indestructible Vajra Body, making it very suitable for the Crown Prince. The greatest benefit of consuming these Immortal Herbs growing here is that they strengthen a Soul Master's body. For someone like me, who was born with a frail body, every Immortal Herb here is an important step toward turning my life as a Soul Master around."

Xue Qinghe was completely absorbed by the valley's extraordinary sights. It wasn't hard for him to see that every herb here was priceless, and terrifyingly old. The two pools of water in the center of the valley, one scorching hot and the other freezing cold, were especially eye-catching.

"I never thought everything you said would be true. You really are from the Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the future!" Xue Qinghe's eyes shone as he stared at Huo Yuhao, making Yuhao's back prickle.

"Your Highness, you've asked me that many times already. Since I could bring you here, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Choose the Immortal Herb that suits you and eat it as soon as possible."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and looked toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass growing between the Cold Pond and the scorching spring. Unlike ten thousand years later, when this place would be full of Hundred Thousand Year Plant System Soul Beasts, now was the perfect time to pluck them.

When Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw Huo Yuhao looking toward the two pools of water, he grew anxious. "Yuhao! With your current physical condition, you can't force your way into those pools. You can't withstand the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire they contain."

Huo Yuhao wasn't that foolish. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's warning was right. His Second Spirit hadn't yet gained a true Ice Attribute; rashly entering the Cold Pond would be fatal.

Huo Yuhao reassured Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with a smile. "I want the two Immortal Herbs between the pools: the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. They can unblock my clogged meridians and forge a body that's Immune to All Poisons and Unafraid of Water and Fire."

"So that's it!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was glad he had met Huo Yuhao. Although they had somehow ended up on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the past, encountering such a great opportunity was truly a once-in-a-century stroke of fortune.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head in frustration. "The problem is, I can't get across. Forget Titled Douluos—even Xue Qinghe, with his Swan Spirit, wouldn't dare linger above those pools. One wrong step, and you'd either burn to ash or freeze into a block of ice."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mood sank as well. "That's what they mean by having a mountain of treasure right in front of you but only being able to look at it, not touch it."

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at each other inside the Spiritual World and sighed at the same time.

Just then, the Gray Gas that had been motionless above the Sea of Spirit stirred.

An aged yet majestic voice rang out. "What's so difficult about that?"

Huo Yuhao's body suddenly slipped out of his control, and his eyes turned a dead gray. While Xue Qinghe and the other two were inspecting the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye and hadn't noticed him, "Huo Yuhao" slowly raised his right hand. The two Immortal Herbs rooted in the middle of the pools swayed despite the lack of wind. The next moment, they were uprooted and landed at "Huo Yuhao's" feet.

"Old geezer! Fine, you can fight me for territory, but now we're stuck ten thousand years in the past and can't go back! This is all your fault!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted angrily.

"Impudent insect! I fought you for territory? What are you, anyway? If I hadn't stepped in when I did, would you have been able to stop the Time Eye from accelerating the Time Flow?" Electrolux snorted, sending waves rippling across the Sea of Spirit.

"You!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew he was in the wrong, but he still snapped, "Don't think I don't know—you're nothing but a wisp of Divine Sense now. You don't have a shred of power, yet you still dare challenge me!"

"Challenge you?" Electrolux didn't look at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm again. After returning control of Huo Yuhao's body, he turned his gaze toward Yuhao. "Child, I am the Calamity of the Undead, the Holy Necromancer, Electrolux. I come from another world. All I have left now is a wisp of Divine Sense. I've just scanned your memories, and honestly, you're quite unusual in a certain sense."

Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly as he stared at the gray, human-shaped cloud. The corner of his mouth twitched. No way. You know I'm a Transmigrator?

"Yuhao, don't listen to him! This old geezer's mysterious. Who knows what he's really up to?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm moved closer to Huo Yuhao, clearly not fond of the man calling himself Electrolux.

"Brother Sky Dream, I know what I'm doing." Huo Yuhao smiled at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then looked at Electrolux and said, "Hello, Electrolux. May I call you Elder Yi?"

"What a sensible child, unlike that Big Bug, who has no manners." Electrolux continued, "Yuhao, you want to know how to return to your own time."

"You know how?" Huo Yuhao was overjoyed and gazed eagerly at Electrolux.

"It was an accident. Your Martial Soul, the Time Eye, has both Time and Spiritual attributes. When the Big Bug's vast Mental Power entered your body, it accidentally triggered your Time attribute and made your body grow rapidly. After I sensed that something was wrong, I entered your body as well. With my intervention, the Time Flow reversed, restoring your body to its original state, while..."

Electrolux looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his tone turning hostile. "Big Bug! I have no desire to quarrel with you, and I'm not going to fight you for territory. But if you keep making trouble, then once my Divine Sense is fully restored, I'll squeeze your fat body until every inch of it bursts, spraying juice everywhere. Then I'll chop up what's left and grind it into powder!"

"You!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was furious, his whole body blazing with golden light.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly hugged Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. "That's enough, Brother Sky Dream! We still need to get back to our own time!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's already plump body trembled violently a few times. He took a deep breath. "For Yuhao's sake, I won't hold this against you. Whatever-your-name-is, how do we get back?"

"It's simple. Do you remember what you said back then?"

"I've said a lot of things. How am I supposed to remember which one?"

"Then let me help you remember..."

(My heart aches! I spent a million years saving up that Mental Power, and suddenly one percent of it was gone! It hurts!)

From Chapter Four: This Is the Heaven Dou Empire.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face turned even paler. His voice grew hesitant. "You mean I have to give up some of my Mental Origin? Then we can return to our original world?"
