Sunset Forest lay at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. With King Tang's grand poisonous formation within it, no one from the outside world had ever dared approach.

After traveling for three days, Lin Chen settled into a small inn. Through the window, he could already see the poisonous miasma filling Sunset Forest.

"Brother, where are you headed?" In the inn's first-floor dining hall, a burly man slung an arm around Lin Chen's shoulders and asked.

Seeing how warmly the man treated him, Lin Chen could not bring himself to ignore him. "I'm going to Sunset Forest," he said.

The burly man's expression changed drastically upon hearing that. He repeatedly waved his hands. "Brother, if you trust me, don't go there. That place is filled with poisonous gas. Who knows how many Soul Masters it's killed? It's been a barren wasteland for tens of thousands of years, without even a blade of grass. If you go in, I'm afraid you won't make it out alive!"

Hearing the man's words, Lin Chen's mouth twitched. Good grief, King Tang had actually erased even the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"That Tang San seized such fortune for himself, yet still hid it away and claimed all the treasures as his own. Does he really think Douluo Continent is his personal backyard?" Qian Renxue said angrily. During their journey, Lin Chen had explained the purpose of this trip to Qian Renxue. He had not concealed the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so when she heard what the burly man said, she could not help speaking up.

Lin Chen said nothing. In a world where strength reigned supreme, if Tang San had remained on the continent, there would have been no issue with him occupying the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well all along. Who on the continent would have dared object?

But he had already ascended, yet still clung to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. That was rather unscrupulous.

Moreover, the God Realm did not permit gods to interfere in the affairs of the lower realms. Wasn't this openly breaking the rules?

"Alright, Sister Renxue. Why get so angry? Once we get there, all those opportunities will be ours," Lin Chen said to Qian Renxue.

"Mm."

After resting for the night, Lin Chen set off once more. Less than two hours later, he stood at the edge of Sunset Forest.

Looking at the poisonous miasma before him, Lin Chen took out the Soul Tool he had prepared and infused it with Soul Power. A protective barrier immediately formed around him.

This Soul Tool was called All-Defense. It could defend against every kind of attack, poisonous gas included, though each type of defense was rather weak. Still, in Lin Chen's view, there was no better Soul Tool for warding off poison.

After entering Sunset Forest, Lin Chen felt as though he had entered a green world. Poisonous miasma filled the skies, and there was not even a trace of Soul Beasts here—not even poisonous Soul Beasts. One could imagine just how... absurdly potent the toxins were.

Lin Chen naturally spotted the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers carpeting the ground, as well as Soul Beast skeletons scattered everywhere. Even with the mentality of someone from Blue Star, he could not help vomiting.

The deeper he went, the denser the poisonous miasma became. It was already slowly penetrating the Soul Tool's defenses.

No wonder no one had dared enter this forbidden zone, even in an era of rapidly advancing Soul Tools. Its penetrative power was anything but ordinary.

Lin Chen had long since formed a Sword Shield with Sword Qi, wrapping himself up tightly.

After another two hours of walking, just as Lin Chen's Soul Power was about to run dry, he finally reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and saw its iconic two-colored waters.

Lin Chen did not hesitate. He leaped down, sensing the aura within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and could not help marveling inwardly.

"Back then, Tang San found this treasured land and had the seven of them consume the Immortal Herbs here, laying the foundation for their later godhood. In terms of talent alone, Tang San might not even surpass you," Lin Chen said to Qian Renxue within the Sea of Consciousness.

"This place truly is a treasure land. No wonder Tang San didn't want anyone else to know about it." At the very least, Qian Renxue had never seen such a treasure land before.

"Who are you?!" A delicate cry rang out.

Looking toward the owner of that voice, Lin Chen saw a large pink flower.

Aromatic Silk Beauty!

"I am Lin Chen, and I have come for an opportunity."

"No! That person said you have to pass a test before taking the Immortal Herbs," Aromatic Silk Beauty refused.

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened at those words. The pressure of a Super Douluo instantly erupted, suppressing Aromatic Silk Beauty so thoroughly that it did not dare move.

The other Immortal Herbs all hid in the corners, trembling in fear.

Retracting his pressure, Lin Chen said calmly, "Since I have come here, it means fate has brought me here. Besides, I only seek opportunities. I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Lin Chen's voice spread throughout the entire valley with the aid of Soul Power.

Just now, Lin Chen had borrowed Qian Renxue's strength to create the pressure of a Super Douluo. His purpose was to intimidate these plant-type Soul Beasts, because he had already sensed that the unique aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had begun invading his body.

Swiftly removing his shirt, Lin Chen raised his sword and brought it down, cutting off an Infernal Delicate Apricot that had not developed intelligence and an Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. He placed the two Immortal Herbs into his mouth.

In an instant, two tyrannical auras—one of extreme cold and one of blazing heat—swept through Lin Chen's entire body.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to undergo Ice Fire Golden Body Tempering. Only then could he leave Sunset Forest safely.

Lin Chen did not use Soul Power to neutralize the medicinal effects. Instead, he allowed the Soul Power of the two herbs to cleanse every cell in his body. Once that was done, his body would fear no toxin, and the deadly aura within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would no longer affect him.

Who knew how long passed before a figure leaped out from the lake, blue and red light still flowing over the surface of his body.

Judging by his physical strength, Lin Chen could now withstand a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring.

After quickly putting his clothes back on, Lin Chen carefully examined the many Immortal Herbs.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Bone, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and other legendary Immortal Herbs were all present here. Lin Chen could not help feeling excited.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen first plucked a Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Several drops of crystal-clear dew slid down his throat and into his stomach, and Lin Chen's Spiritual Power began rising at an astonishing rate.

Spiritual Power was extremely important to every Soul Master, yet also exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Control over Soul Skills and the output of Soul Power both required powerful Spiritual Power as support.

After absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lin Chen's Spiritual Power had reached the level of a Soul Douluo. His control over his own Soul Power and Soul Skills became even more effortless.

"You certainly know how to pick Immortal Herbs," Qian Renxue teased.

"However, take a look at your piece of Life Gold first. It seems to be absorbing the energy in this place."

Lin Chen's heart stirred at her words. He hurriedly took the Life Gold from his Storage Bag. With his powerful spiritual perception, he discovered that wisps of subtle life energy were indeed flowing into it.

The Life Gold was not actively absorbing them, nor did it have that ability. Rather, it was itself an enormous source of life energy, so some ownerless life energy between heaven and earth naturally flowed toward it.

Even a hundred rivers flowed into the sea. To life energy, Life Gold was an immense ocean.

The moment the Life Gold appeared, the hungry cells within Lin Chen's body began greedily absorbing its energy. Even the life energy of this entire region surged toward them.

Having just undergone Ice Fire Golden Body Refinement, the cells in his body were at the moment when they most needed an infusion of life energy.

After finishing all that, it was time to prepare Immortal Herbs for his friends.
