Sea God's Eighth Examination, Xia Yang's Plan

After Xia Yang brought Bibi Dong and her daughter back to Zhenhai City, life seemed to return to its usual rhythm.

A month passed quietly, and Tang Yuehua and Ah Yin returned from their Soul Hunting Journey.

When Xia Yang introduced Bibi Dong to everyone, the atmosphere was calm and restrained.

Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, and Ah Yin already knew about Xia Yang and Bibi Dong's past.

So, although they didn't show much enthusiasm, they all nodded in acknowledgment, which was considered as acceptance of her presence.

The adults interact with each other with a cautious distance, but the situation is quite different among the children.

Ye Guyi has now changed her surname to Xia and is called Xia Guyi.

Since Xia Guyi returned to this family with Xia Yang, she has naturally become the eldest sister among the children.

The newborn Xia Feng, Xia Shuang who was not yet two years old, and Xia Tian who had already Martial Soul Awakening and was at Xia Tian age where cats and dogs would avoid them, quickly became friends with this new older sister.

Lately, Xia Guyi's face has always been beaming with smiles; clearly, she is enjoying this lively family atmosphere.

Time flies, and another month has passed.

That day, Xia Yang gathered Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, and Bibi Dong together to discuss the next steps.

"Ah Yin and I have both reached level 96, while Yuehua and Erlong are at level 82 and 87 respectively."

Xia Yang got straight to the point, saying, "I think the time is about right, and I plan to begin the eighth Divine Exam."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua frowned slightly and said, "Brother Xia, I remember your Eighth Examination was to kill that nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, right?"

"With our current strength, are we really confident?"

Don't worry.

Xia Yang remained calm and said, "Don't forget, the four of us still have Martial Soul Fusion Skill as our trump card."

"Besides, I don't intend to fight the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King head-on this time."

Liu Erlong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you already have a plan?"

"That's right."

Xia Yang nodded and explained, "I plan to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to collect the water from the pool there and the highly poisonous substances that grow around it."

"Then, based on this, even if we can't directly poison the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, we can at least cause it considerable damage."

"That's a good idea."

Tang Yuehua pondered, "The water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contains both extreme cold and extreme heat. If we can make good use of it, it can definitely help us."

"How much damage these things can actually cause to Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that is millions of years old is hard to say."

"Man proposes, God disposes."

"Faced with such a formidable enemy, we must seize every possible advantage."

Xia Yang's tone was calm and reassuring.

Ah Yin then spoke softly, asking, "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... what kind of place is that?"

Xia Yang then remembered that Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, and Bibi Dong had never been there.

So he explained in detail, "It is a Treasure Land created by heaven and earth, located deep in the Sunset Forest."

"There are two springs in the valley, one of ice and one of fire, Mutual Generation and restraining each other. The extreme energy around them has given rise to countless rare medicinal herbs..."

After listening to Xia Yang's description, Ah Yin and Liu Erlong nodded in agreement.

Ah Yin pondered, "If we could combine the water from the Ice and Fire Pool and the poison from the valley with our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, perhaps we could truly contend with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."

The group carefully considered many details of the operation. Once the plan was roughly formed, Xia Yang turned to Bibi Dong and said, "Dong'er, while we're away, I'll be entrusting the family to you."

Bibi Dong nodded solemnly and said, "I will take good care of the children and also make sure to look after the two elderly people."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Xia Yang's expression turned serious as he instructed, "If the Spirit Hall causes trouble during this period, you must be patient and avoid direct confrontation with them."

"If the situation becomes critical, then you should take my parents and children and leave the Vast Sea Kingdom first."

"Remember, people are the most important."

"Land can be regained, but people are truly gone and cannot be recovered."

"I see."

Bibi Dong replied, "Go with peace of mind, and be sure to return safely."

"Must."

With the agreement settled, Xia Yang then dealt with some minor matters.

Then, he selected several of the largest Storage Soul Tool from the National Treasury and took them with him.

After that, the group's itinerary was officially finalized.

The next day, the group split into two groups and set off.

Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, and Ah Yin went to Vast Sea City first to arrange ships and prepare all the necessary supplies for the voyage.

Xia Yang, meanwhile, ventured alone into the Sunset Forest, his goal being the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to collect its water and deadly poison.

Seven days later, Xia Yang reappeared deep within Sunset Forest, outside the area shrouded in poisonous fog.

Looking down from mid-air, he saw that the land within a radius of Thirty Li was completely covered by a colorful poisonous fog.

The mist churned and surged, its colors strangely vibrant, clearly indicating the presence of alarming toxicity.

In addition, a large swamp has formed on the outskirts of this Death Zone, inhabited by countless Spirit Beast adapted to the poison.

The area is home to a diverse array of plants and animals, making the swamp a veritable paradise for poisonous creatures.

Xia Yang took a deep breath and, relying on his strong physique tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, charged straight into the poisonous fog.

The mist caused a slight tingling sensation when it touched his skin, but it did not cause any real harm to Xia Yang.

At this moment, Xia Yang flew inward while observing the scene below.

There are still quite a few poison-attribute Spirit Beast surviving on the outer edge of the poisonous fog, but the deeper one goes, the fewer signs of life there become.

By the time they reached the Core Region, the surrounding ground had been turned into a wasteland.

Apart from the exposed rocks, almost nothing grows there.

"It's even more deserted here than when I last came."

Xia Yang murmured to himself.

"Kid, who do you think you have to blame for this mess?"

An aged voice suddenly came from the mist.

Xia Yang didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Senior Dugu, so you were still living in seclusion here."

Xia Yang turned towards the source of the sound and, sure enough, saw Dugu Bo, dressed in green, walking slowly towards him.

"You've got some nerve."

Dugu Bo glanced at him sideways and said, "You just crippled the Pope of the Spirit Hall a while ago, why aren't you hiding in the Vast Sea Kingdom? What are you doing in my Poison Nest?"

"Aren't you afraid that the Spirit Hall will take the opportunity to destroy your stronghold?"

Xia Yang smiled and said, "Senior is too kind."

"I have come here today because I have a favor to ask of you."

Dugu Bo snorted and turned to walk out of the poisonous fog.

Xia Yang followed closely behind.

Before long, the two passed through the last poisonous barrier and arrived at the foot of a Green Mountain.
