One month later.
A carriage with a plain and unpretentious appearance, but the material of the carriage and the shock-absorbing technology revealed extraordinary features, slowly stopped in the vast and deep virgin forest outside Heaven Dou City.
The car curtain opened, and the first person to step out was a beautiful woman in a white dress.
She is tall and graceful, and her long sea-blue hair glows softly in the sun.
Immediately afterwards, a young man in Tsing Yi jumped out of the car.
He has a tall and straight posture, a handsome face, and his brows have the unique vitality of a young man and a hint of calmness beyond his age.
Finally, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress with a gentle and ethereal temperament stepped out of the carriage.
It is none other than Bo Saixi, Ye Qing, and Ah Yin who came from Sea God Island.
The three of them stood on the edge of Sunset Forest. In front of them was a lush, primitive forest sea that blocked the sky and the sun.
The sun shines through the gaps between the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadow.
The air is filled with the smell of soil, rotten leaves and vegetation, and occasionally a few unknown deep roars of Soul Beast are heard, adding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere to this ancient forest.
Ah Yin looked around, feeling the rich breath of life in this forest that was completely different from Sea God Island, and couldn't help but ask, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in his tone:
"Xiaoqing, what are we doing here? We currently... don't seem to need to obtain Soul Ring, right?"
They have not yet reached the stage where they need to obtain Soul Ring, so logically speaking, the most important thing to do now is to stabilize their realm first.
Instead of rushing into this forest that seems to be full of dangers.
Ye Qing heard this, smiled slightly, and cast his gaze deep into the forest, as if he had seen a secret hidden in the dense forest.
He said slowly:
"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it later."
As soon as these words came out, not only Ah Yin, but also Bo Saixi was slightly stunned.
What does "just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it later" means?
Could it be that Ye Qing means that he wants to stay in this Sunset Forest for a long time?
While practicing, wait for the next bottleneck to arrive, and then leave after obtaining Soul Ring?
This...
Will this have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?
Moreover, even if you want to practice, whether you go back to Sea God Island or go to the bustling Heaven Dou City not far away, the conditions are much better than this primitive forest full of dangers, right?
Why do you have to stay in this wilderness?
Bo Saixi frowned slightly, his blue eyes full of confusion and doubt.
She looked at Ye Qing and asked softly:
"Xiao Qing, what do you want to do? Is there... anything special in this forest?"
Ye Qing saw that both of them looked confused and stopped trying to make excuses.
He smiled and explained:
"There is a treasure hidden deep in this forest. There are some natural and earthly treasures growing there, which can help Soul Master greatly increase his strength and even improve his qualifications. As long as we find them and absorb them properly, we can elevate Soul Power to a whole new level in a very short period of time."
"Treasures from heaven and earth?"
Bo Saixi heard this and frowned even more tightly.
She has lived for hundreds of years and has seen too many so-called "geniuses" who took shortcuts in pursuit of rapid improvement in cultivation and ultimately destroyed their own foundation.
Those people are all tempted by various so-called "magic pills" or "quick fixes".
In the end, the foundation will be unstable, Soul Power will be vain, and even become obsessed, and it will be impossible to make any further progress in life.
She looked at Ye Qing, with a hint of seriousness and concern in her tone, and said sincerely:
"Xiao Qing, with your talent and resources, there is actually no need to take such a shortcut in order to quickly improve your cultivation. Practicing steadily and practicing step by step is the safest and least likely to cause hidden dangers. If you destroy your own foundation just for the sake of temporary advancement, causing future cultivation and even the inheritance of gods to be affected, it will be more than worth the gain."
As Grand Pontiff of Sea God Island, and more importantly, Ye Qing's already established wife, she has the responsibility and obligation to help Ye Qing in time when he may take a detour.
Ye Qing looked at Bo Saixi's serious and concerned eyes, and felt warm in his heart.
He stretched out his hand, gently took Bo Saixi's slightly cold hand, squeezed it, smiled and comforted:
"Don't worry, sister Bo Saixi. The treasure I'm talking about is completely different from those evil ways that rely on overdrafting potential and destroying the foundation in exchange for short-term improvement."
He paused, with a kind of certainty and confidence in his eyes:
"The real treasure of heaven and earth can be called a treasure because it is completely different from those heretics. It is like... a reward given by the gods after passing the assessment of the gods. It is a pure and gentle essence of heaven and earth. Not only does it not have any side effects, it can cleanse the marrow, consolidate the foundation, and enhance the potential."
He looked at Bo Saixi and blinked. "I think you, sister Bo Saixi, know this best. Didn't your all-encompassing cultivation improve step by step after passing Sea God Island's assessment?"
Bo Saixi was slightly startled when he heard this.
She carefully tasted Ye Qing's words and found that they did make sense.
Her peerless cultivation level of ninety-nine levels was indeed polished and improved step by step through the inheritance and assessment of Sea God Island.
The rewards obtained through the examination of orthodox gods are indeed pure and gentle.
It is fundamentally different from those false promotions obtained by plundering and taking harmful elixirs.
Most of the doubts in her heart dissipated.
But she was still a little unbelievable and couldn't help but ask:
"Having said that... but in this world, are there really any treasures from heaven and earth that can compete with the inheritance rewards of the gods? That is a gift from the gods... How can there be such a heaven-defying thing in the mortal world?"
When Ye Qing heard this, he just smiled slightly and did not answer directly.
He turned around, looked at the deep forest in front of him, and said:
"Sister Bo Saixi, Ah Yin, please help me look for it. Is there... nearby a huge natural barrier formed by miasma or poisonous mist? Or... a poison array?"
"Poison array?" Bo Saixi and Ah Yin looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
But they didn't ask any more questions. Since Ye Qing was looking for him, they could just help him find it.
Bo Saixi closed his eyes, and the huge mental power was like an invisible tide, centered on her, spreading overwhelmingly toward the depths of Sunset Forest ahead.
As a level 99 Peerless Douluo, her mental power is so strong that any slight abnormality around her cannot escape her perception.
Ah Yin, on the other hand, squatted down slightly and gently pressed his hands on the ground.
Her ontological aura, which is homologous to Blue Silver Grass, follows the ground beneath her feet and quietly blends into the plant network of the entire forest.
Countless Blue Silver Grass seemed to have turned into her eyes and ears, continuously feeding information about every inch of land in the forest into her mind.
