However, Qian Ye merely nodded indifferently.

"Passable."

He remained as calm and unruffled as ever.

Qian Renxue felt a tinge of disappointment, but she quickly pulled herself together.

The realm of her master was not something she could fathom.

To receive an evaluation of "passable" was already a tremendous honor.

Just then, wind and clouds surged once more across the firmament!

The familiar golden curtain of light unfurled again, even more magnificent and vast than before!

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes brightened, her face filled with anticipation.

"The eighth place on the Rare Treasures List! It's about to be revealed!"

"I wonder what earth-shattering treasure it will be this time?"

As the golden characters slowly emerged upon the sky, a flicker of interest finally crossed the eyes of the ever-composed Qian Ye.

"Interesting."

"To think it would be this."

As his voice fell, several archaic, sweeping characters appeared on the golden list in the sky, reflecting into the eyes of every living being!

[Eighth Place on the Rare Treasures ListIce and Fire Yin Yang Well!]

Allied Forces Camp.

The moment they saw these words, the members of Shrek were stunned for a second, before erupting into cheers even more frenzied than before!

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! It's Senior Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"Hahahaha! We're rich! We've struck gold again!"

"Heaven bless Shrek! Heaven bless Brother San!"

Tang San was trembling with excitement, his eyes shooting out a scorching radiance.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The top three treasures on the list were all related to him, Tang San!

He was, indeed, the one destined by fate!

Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well nominally belonged to the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, in the eyes of everyone at Shrek, there was no difference between it and their own property.

Back then, it was precisely by relying on the immortal herbs from that place that they had achieved their transformation.

Now that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had made the list, once the Heavenly Dao bestowed its rewards, they would surely be able to get a share of the spoils!

Heaven Dou City, Poison Douluo's Residence.

Dugu Bo stared at the golden list in the sky, completely dumbfounded.

Immediately following, a surge of immense joy welled up in his heart.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The precious land he had guarded his entire life was actually a treasure recognized by the Heavenly Dao!

This was a massive stroke of fortune! An opportunity to defy the heavens and change his fate!

However, after the wild joy, a thick layer of worry clouded his heart.

He thought of Shrek, and he thought of Tang San.

Once upon a time, he had regarded that youth as a friend across generations, a soulmate.

But ever since the golden list exposed Tang San's identity as a transmigrator, a thorn had grown in his heart.

A soul from another world—was his character truly as reliable as it appeared on the surface?

With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well being so heaven-defying, would he... not be tempted?

"Grandfather, what are you worried about?"

His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, walked to his side, following his gaze toward the direction of the Shrek Camp as she consoled him.

"Are you worried about Tang San and the others? They wouldn't; they aren't that kind of people."

Dugu Bo slowly shook his head, his aged face filled with complexity.

"I hope... so."

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Di Tian and the other fierce beasts gazed at the Gold Ranking, their eyes filled with a trace of astonishment.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? This place actually made the list?"

A ripple stirred within Gu Yuena's beautiful purple eyes, and a strange sensation welled up in her heart.

Under the gaze of the masses, the imagery on the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking began to shift.

Lines of golden characters slowly revealed the origin and function of this treasured land.

[Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well: Formed after the fall of the Dragon God, where its resentment permeated the earth, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over eons...]

[The Dragon God fell, its resentment soaking into the earth, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over eons...]

[The land is divided into yin and yang, mutually restraining and nourishing each other; it is the place of ultimate cold and heat in the world.]

[It contains the remnant souls of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, capable of accelerating the growth of spiritual flora and nurturing divine-grade immortal herbs—a treasure land that plunders the fortune of heaven and earth!]

As these golden characters slowly manifested across the firmament, the entire Douluo Continent, and even the living beings of the God Realm, fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately following, the comments beneath the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking erupted like a burst dam!

[Holy crap! The Dragon God?! This place is actually related to the legendary Dragon God?!]

[The burial ground of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings... My god, what kind of concept is this? No wonder it could nurture so many immortal herbs!]

[A piece of land, just because it was formed by the fall of Dragon Kings, can rank eighth on the Rare Treasures List? This origin is too extraordinary!]

[I finally understand; this isn't some treasure land at all, it's clearly the graveyard of the Dragon Kings!]

[So many emotions... The Dragon Clan that once ruled an era, now even their final resting place has become someone else's opportunity.]

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Di Tian, Zi Ji, and the other fierce beasts all watched the sky with solemn expressions, not daring to make a sound.

Before them, Gu Yuena stood silently, ripples spreading through her exquisite purple eyes as her emotions fluctuated violently.

It is them...

It is the aura of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

As the embodiment of the Dragon God's benevolent side, she could clearly feel the sorrow and resentment originating from the depths of the bloodline described on the Gold Ranking.

The Dragon God had once bestowed different elemental powers upon the nine great Dragon Kings; they were the hope for the continuation of the Dragon Clan and the Dragon God's most trusted arms.

Yet, in the end, they met such a fate.

Gu Yuena sighed softly, her voice tinged with desolation.

"In the end, it was a matter of ill fortune."

Hearing this, Di Tian and the others lowered their heads even further, not daring to disturb their Lord's grief.

On the other side, at the Allied Forces Camp.

The Shrek members were also shocked beyond measure by this astonishing origin.

"So... it was the place where the Dragon Kings fell!"

Oscar muttered to himself.

"No wonder, no wonder it could nurture so many heaven-defying immortal herbs!"

Tang San's breathing grew rapid, his fists clenching involuntarily as a light of unprecedented greed shot from his eyes.

He said in a deep voice, "It is a pity that for the sake of everyone, I have already picked the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well clean."

As these words left his lips, a trace of regret flashed across everyone's faces.

Tang San changed the subject, a meaningful smile curling the corners of his lips.

"However, looking at it now, those immortal herbs were never the greatest opportunity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

Dai Mubai's spirit lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "Third Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Tang San's gaze remained fixed on the words "remnant souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings" on the Gold Ranking, saying word by word:

"The greatest opportunity is the remnant souls of those two Dragon Kings!"

"If I can obtain them, never mind a mere Qian Renxue, even if a God King were to arrive in person, I could still put up a fight!"

Hiss—

Everyone drew a sharp breath, and immediately, a greed identical to Tang San's erupted in each of their eyes.

Dragon King remnant souls!

This was a supreme treasure ten thousand times more precious than any immortal herb!

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, unable to contain his impatience. "Then what are we waiting for! Third Brother, let's go and seize that opportunity right now!"
