Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

This was a dark-attribute left arm bone, but the energy contained within it was not particularly dense. It probably was not a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.

Even a thousand-year Soul Bone, however, was extremely precious.

Yan naturally had no intention of absorbing it himself, nor could he possibly hand it over to Spirit Hall. After all, this was his spoils of war.

With a stir of Soul Power, Yan stored the dark-attribute Soul Bone in his Soul Tool. Perhaps he would find a use for it later.

With the mission complete, Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, everything had gone so smoothly through a series of coincidences. Flames incinerated the Sindis brothers' corpses.

Only then did Yan turn his gaze to his surroundings.

The poisonous miasma here was astonishingly dense, nearly condensing into tangible droplets of water.

Yan stretched out his hand, and the Earth Flame Lizard Dragon Armor on his palm slowly faded away. The poisonous miasma swiftly invaded his hand, producing a sizzling sound.

Soon, the power of Burning Flame swept forth. Yan withdrew his hand, and the dark crimson dragon-scale gauntlet covered it once more, blocking the poisonous mist that sought to corrode him.

This poisonous miasma was immensely potent. If one remained in it for too long, even a Soul Saint would suffer greatly. Given enough time, one might even perish within the miasma.

The Sindis brothers had also suffered severe Soul Power depletion because of the miasma, making even escape difficult. That was why they had no choice but to make a desperate final stand.

Poisonous miasma, poisonous miasma...

As Yan moved through the poisonous miasma, he discovered that its flow followed an extremely regular pattern and was evenly distributed. Unlike naturally formed miasma, it was not dense in some places and thin in others.

Moreover, Yan noticed traces of deliberate maintenance within the miasma. The methods were ingenious; without close inspection, they would truly have been difficult to detect.

This was not poisonous miasma at all. It was clearly a Poison Array deliberately set up by someone.

The person who had laid this Poison Array must have reached the pinnacle of understanding and controlling poison. They were absolutely one of the continent's foremost poison masters.

With such a setup and such an environment, who else could it be besides Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?

At that thought, a surge of wild joy rose in Yan's heart. If that was truly the case, then hidden within this poisonous miasma was very likely the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well concealed by Dugu Bo!

The answer exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

He had searched so bitterly and made countless plans, even preparing himself for a long investigation and a prolonged battle of wits with Dugu Bo.

Yet who could have imagined that, while pursuing Fallen Soul Masters and completing his trial mission, he would arrive at this Poison Array, a place highly likely to contain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

Yan recalled the intelligence Qian Renxue had given him regarding Dugu Bo.

It had been around half a month since Dugu Bo had last returned to Sunset Forest to suppress his poison. At this point in time, it was absolutely impossible for Dugu Bo to return here.

"I have to finish this quickly!"

Yan took a deep breath. His spiritual power surged out in full as he headed deeper into the Poison Array.

Along the way, flames blazed over his entire body, forcibly burning out a vacuum passage.

Guided by his powerful spiritual power, Yan seemed to transform into a streak of fire as he sped through the Poison Array.

After less than half an incense stick's time, Yan finally reached the edge of the Poison Array. With a single leap, it was as though he had entered another world.

Yan had expected to see a few cottages and traces of people having lived here.

But inside the Poison Array lay what seemed to be a forest. After walking forward for quite some time, Yan found a cave and finally discovered signs of human activity.

His spiritual power operated at full speed. Yan found a narrow trail that could barely be called a path. As he walked deeper in, a faint mist gradually spread around him.

It was water vapor.

Yan reached out to sense it. By now, he had already withdrawn his Martial Soul, and no flames burned anywhere on his body.

The mountain path rose and fell along the way, and Yan took quite a few wrong turns. Not until the sky began to darken did he finally reach his destination.

He stood at the edge of a mountaintop. Below was a sunken mountain hollow, or perhaps a valley would have been a more fitting description.

Dense heat mixed with mist rose from the bottom of the valley, carrying a faint scent of sulfur.

Suppressing his excitement, Yan leaped down from the mountaintop.

Water vapor filled the valley, making the path ahead impossible to see. Yet with his powerful spiritual power, Yan moved through the valley as though walking on level ground.

The surrounding mist could not hinder him in the slightest.

Moving onward, Yan reached the bottom of the valley and finally saw the scene within.

At the center of the valley was an oval pool divided into two clearly distinct halves, resembling a taiji diagram. One side was milky white like jade, while the other was crimson like blood, with boundless power contained within.

It was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the three great treasure basins.

All around it grew all kinds of rare flowers and exotic herbs, each of extraordinary age, with immense power surging within them.

Most eye-catching were the two immortal herbs growing on opposite sides of the spring.

One was a white, octagonal flower, its stamen resembling ice crystals. The other was as gorgeous as fire, with scorching heat flowing around it.

They were none other than the immortal herbs Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

"After searching everywhere in vain, I found it without the slightest effort!"

This time, Yan could no longer suppress the wild joy in his heart and burst into hearty laughter.

With such a garden of immortal herbs, it was easy to imagine that his strength would soon enter a period of rapid growth.

In the Douluo Continent, one could become a god either by undergoing a Divine Examination or through faith.

Unfortunately, none of the three known inheritances of the gods had anything to do with Yan.

The Angel Holy Temple in the Worship Hall went without saying. It was the Qian Clan's private domain and the place where Qian Renxue would become a god in the future.

Sea God Island was also difficult to scheme against. Spirit Hall's attack on Sea God Island back then had left the relationship between the two sides extremely tense ever since.

If Bo Saixi learned that he was from Spirit Hall, forget opening a Divine Examination—if she did not beat him to death, it would already be a miracle that he had returned alive.

As for Slaughter City, it was an even greater trap. It was clearly the inheritance ground of the god king-level Asura God, yet its inheritance site had been eroded by the first-level god Rakshasa God.

It had forcibly turned the peerless genius Tang Chen into the neither-human-nor-ghost King of Slaughter, cutting off his path to inheriting the Asura God.

Still, Yan was not particularly interested in the god positions of the Douluo World.

He cultivated the Devouring Method. If he could become an Immortal God, he would naturally gain a nearly eternal lifespan.

Moreover, as long as he could break through to the Planetary Level, he would possess combat power comparable to a Douluo god.

At that time, with the formidable combat power of the Planetary Level, he could even take the path of becoming a god through faith.

Of course, if Yan truly cultivated to the Planetary Level, he would no longer wish to waste time on the Douluo Method.

At that point, focusing entirely on the Devouring Method would undoubtedly offer a higher ceiling.

Furthermore, beneath the God Realm, the Douluo World governed far more than just one Douluo Continent. There were also all kinds of other worlds.

There were even unexplored worlds in the vast cosmos beyond.

After passing down his god position, the Asura God had ventured into the depths of the universe to explore those unknown worlds.

Perhaps those broader worlds would offer Yan a path toward transcendence.
