Must Go See the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

Thinking of this, Gui Mengguan immediately smiled at Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo, casually spinning a lie he had long since prepared: "So that's how it is. I actually stumbled upon a tattered ancient text in a hidden corner of the Martial Soul Hall library. It only had a few sparse lines, mentioning a blessed land in the depths of the Sunset Forest called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It supposedly hides heaven-sent treasures, but it's guarded by a powerful natural formation. Ordinary people can't find the entrance at all; one must wait for time to pass and the formation to naturally lose its effect before they can enter. I thought it was some famous secret realm, I didn't expect that even you two grandfathers hadn't heard of it."

"An ancient fragment from the Martial Soul Hall library?"

Falling Devil Douluo raised an eyebrow and looked at Thousand Jun Douluo, his eyes filled with contemplation. The Martial Soul Hall library's collection was as vast as the sea, and the core archives of the Worship Hall did indeed contain many ancient, fragmented records. Many secret realms were only mentioned in passing, and since the two brothers had spent years stationed in the Worship Hall, rarely coming into contact with such miscellaneous notes, it was normal that they hadn't heard of it.

Thousand Jun Douluo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although the Sunset Forest isn't considered a top-tier danger zone, its depths are still occupied by thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts, filled with peril. Even if there really is some blessed land guarded by a natural formation, it is not something you should be touching right now."

"Don't say that, my dear grandfathers!"

Qian Gujue was the first one unable to sit still. He had always loved adventuring, and upon hearing about a blessed land, his eyes instantly lit up: "Isn't it just the Sunset Forest? With you two here, let alone thousand-year soul beasts, even ten-thousand-year ones couldn't hurt us! Let's just go take a look! Even if we can't find the entrance, we can just treat it as a soul-hunting expedition!"

"Exactly!"

Oupai immediately chimed in: "If there really is a blessed land recorded in an ancient text, it is an opportunity for our Martial Soul Hall, so we should naturally go and see. Even if we don't find it, there's no loss."

Gui Mengguan also chimed in with a soft, persuasive tone: "Two grandfathers, let's just go take a look. We absolutely won't run around, and we will listen to all your arrangements."

Tang San also spoke at the right moment, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable certainty: "Two grandfathers, I also think we should go take a look. If such a treasure land truly exists, it would be a pity to miss it; if the ancient text was mistaken, we can just treat it as training, which is also perfectly fine."

He had already begun calculating in his heart.

He had transmigrated here, bringing with him all the ultimate arts, hidden weapons, poison techniques, alchemy, and internal cultivation methods of the Tang Sect from his previous life.

Over these years in the Martial Soul Hall, although he had masked much of it with his talent, he couldn't hide this knowledge—which far surpassed his peers—forever. Where it came from would eventually be discovered and questioned.

At first, he could claim it was a sudden inspiration or that he had learned it from some knowledge in the library, but this excuse wouldn't hold up for long.

If the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well truly existed, then everything would have a perfect explanation.

When the time came, he could fully claim that he had found a cave dwelling left by a predecessor within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which contained the classics and heritage of the Tang Sect, and that all his knowledge originated from there.

In this way, he could not only perfectly explain his origins but also openly use all the Tang Sect's ultimate arts without needing to hide or find other excuses.

Moreover, the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well held an irresistible attraction for him as well.

Whether it was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, or the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that could reshape a physical body, each one could make his path of cultivation much smoother.

The four children spoke one after another, wheedling and pestering, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Thousand Jun and Falling Devil, the two Douluos, looked at each other, both feeling somewhat helpless.

These four children were the future foundation of the Martial Soul Hall, the precious treasures held in the palm of the entire sect's hand. Let alone just going to the Sunset Forest to take a look, even if they wanted to go to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest, the two would have to follow and protect them.

What's more, with the two of them present, they could absolutely ensure the four children remained safe and sound.

"Fine, fine."

Thousand Jun Douluo finally relented, waving his hand and saying: "Since you all want to go, we will first stop at a nearby city to rest for a day, and tomorrow morning, we will head to the Sunset Forest. I'll say this first: once we arrive, you must listen to our arrangements and are absolutely forbidden from running off on your own. Do you hear me?"

"We hear you! Thank you, grandfathers!" the four children replied in unison, their eyes lighting up.

Gui Mengguan, Qian Gujue, and Oupai exchanged glances, seeing the smiles in each other's eyes.

Whether they could obtain the immortal herbs was one thing, but securing the location and figuring out the situation of the formation was never a bad idea.

This first opportunity of the Douluo Continent was something they were determined to hold in their hands.

Meanwhile, Tang San leaned against the carriage window, watching the scenery rapidly receding outside, his fingertips gently rubbing together as a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the perfect excuse for the Tang Sect's heritage, and those immortal herbs that could defy the heavens and change fate...

This trip to the Sunset Forest was one he had to take.

Qian Gujue was the first to bounce up from his seat, spinning the Coiling Dragon Staff in his palm with a clean flourish, and said excitedly: "Great! Thank you, Grandfather Falling Devil! Let's not take a detour back to Martial Soul City; let's head straight toward the Sunset Forest. We can stop at the nearby Luo Ke City to rest for the night, stock up on supplies, and head straight into the forest tomorrow morning. How much easier that will be!"

"Exactly!"

Oupai immediately nodded in agreement, his fingertips flipping as a small, exquisite Godly Zhuge Crossbow martial soul flickered in his palm, the mechanism of the crossbow emitting a crisp click. "Going back to Martial Soul City would waste three days; there's no need."

Gui Mengguan also chimed in, smiling at the two Title Douluos: "Grandfather Thousand Jun, Grandfather Falling Devil, the children all want to go see it sooner. Besides, with you two here, there's no danger in the outer or middle parts of the Sunset Forest, so why not just grant our wish?"

Tang San also nodded gently, a few strands of Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns appearing in his palm, the leaves swaying softly: "Two grandfathers, I also think going straight there is more appropriate. My Blue Silver Grass can sense the surrounding life force, allowing us to avoid soul beasts in advance, and I can also provide life amplification for everyone, so there won't be any problems."

The four children spoke one after another, their eyes full of anticipation. Thousand Jun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. These four children were the heart and soul of the sect, each one spoiled into having their own strong opinions, yet what they said also made sense. With the strength of the two of them, protecting the four children as they entered the Sunset Forest would certainly not lead to any mishaps.

"Fine, fine, I can't win against you little brats." Falling Devil Douluo waved his hand and laughed indignantly. "Then we'll go to the nearby Luo Ke City to rest and enter the Sunset Forest tomorrow morning. I'll say this first: once we enter the forest, you are not allowed to leave our side by even half a step. Do you hear me?"

"We hear you! Thank you, Grandfather Falling Devil! Thank you, Grandfather Thousand Jun!" the four children replied in unison, their eyes lighting up.

The carriage immediately changed direction and headed toward Luo Ke City.

In less than half a day, the group arrived at this recently flourishing, prosperous city.

The two Douluos, Thousand Jun and Falling Devil, were generous, directly booking the best hotel in the city and letting the four children go out to purchase the supplies they needed.

Oupai didn't have anything he particularly wanted to buy and just looked at the scenery; Qian Gujue picked out handy camping gear and anti-poison powder; Gui Mengguan pulled Tang San along to buy many jade boxes capable of storing plant samples, preparing for the upcoming trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
