• Danheng surfaced with the Soul Bones while Dugu Bo stood guard nearby.

Danheng discovered that removing the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Soul Bones had weakened the spring’s spiritual energy output, so he tried to replenish it with a drop of his blood. The spring erupted with immense energy and began to change, leaving Danheng and Dugu Bo watching in alarm.

• The spring trembled and released an immense surge of energy, and Danheng noticed that it was undergoing another change.

Danheng calmed the energies erupting from the spring and combined them with life energy from the Herb Garden, producing a seed that rapidly grew into a towering tree. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue learned of Danheng’s strength and asked She Long to find him so she could meet him.

• The spring erupted in a golden pillar, and its energy caused the Herb Garden’s immature herbs and weeds to grow rapidly while leaving them unharmed.

• Danheng tapped the pillar to balance its energy, causing the red, blue, golden, and emerald-green energies to merge into a seed.
• The seed cracked, sprouted, and grew within moments into a towering tree radiating a holy aura.

Danheng created a radiant tree in the Herb Garden that slowly purged Dugu Bo’s toxins, and Dugu Bo agreed to gather intelligence about the continent in exchange for staying beneath its light.

• Dugu Bo reflected that the Poison Arrays served as a smokescreen and hoped She Long would survive what awaited him.

• The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Remnant Souls talked beneath the tree, and the Ice Dragon King sensed someone dangerous above them.

• Dugu Bo showed Danheng Prince Xue Xing’s letter requesting his death, and Danheng told him to handle the matter as he saw fit.
