Tiandou City is located in the northern hinterland of the Douluo Plane.

An aerial Soul Tool traversed the sky, flying beneath the cloud layer.

In this way, it could not only effectively avoid detection by man-made satellites in the sky but also utilize its own stealth design to prevent being tracked from the ground.

After all, neither the Sun Moon Federation nor the Spirit Pagoda was a place where the Xu Family's Sun Lineage had the final say.

Looking down at the earthy yellow land below, as the aerial Soul Tool continued to penetrate deeper into the north, the ground beneath gradually became covered in a cold hue.

The trend of falling temperatures became increasingly apparent, especially at high altitudes beneath the clouds.

The distance from Proud Arrival City in the East Sea to Tiandou City in the north spanned nearly two-thirds of the continent, far longer than the journey to the federal Ming Capital.

During this period, they had to turn and detour in the air whenever they encountered major cities like Shrek City, which were guarded by quasi-god-level powerhouses.

One can imagine the time and soul power consumed along this journey.

Fortunately, the pilot was Di Guangming, who was once a peak God King. Although he had lost his physical body and his divine position and godhead had long since fallen, his soul-body strength—even with the suppression of the Douluo Plane—still gave him the ability to hang and thrash a crowd of top-tier quasi-gods.

Therefore, the consumption required to recharge the aerial Soul Tool along the way was almost negligible.

The Dragon Emperor, sitting in the co-pilot seat, only needed to rely on his tens of thousands of years of memory to guide the Holy Dragon King in making minor course adjustments in the air.

Another day and night cycled by.

It was not until the temperature in the clouds outside dropped to a certain degree and the land below appeared gray-blue that the Holy Dragon King controlled the aerial Soul Tool to descend rapidly.

Hundreds of miles ahead and below, the outline of an ancient city appeared on the surface.

It was precisely the number one ancient city in the north of the Sun Moon Federation: Tiandou City.

However, the destination of this trip was the primitive suburbs to the east of Tiandou City: the Sunset Forest.

Since the Dragon Emperor and the Holy Dragon King had come from the East Sea coast, they did not need to approach Tiandou City to land, so as not to alert the Tang Sect Limit Douluo stationed there.

As This Humble One swept to a low altitude, the flying Soul Tool vanished into thin air.

The Holy Dragon King grabbed the Dragon Emperor, whose body was still small, and simultaneously unfurled a pair of pale dragon wings representing light and a pair of pure gold dragon wings representing holiness, gliding downward through the air.

The intent of light distorted the light around their bodies, while the intent of holiness shielded them from spiritual exploration.

The two of them descended from the sky in a way that was invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by spiritual power, landing in the primitive forest reserve in the eastern suburbs of Tiandou City.

--Sunset Forest.

The Holy Dragon King did not choose to land and walk into the forest; instead, he took the Dragon Emperor and dove straight toward the core forest area.

It was a sunken mountain col.

"Is this col the crater created by the corpses of your Fire Brother and Water Sister?" the Holy Dragon King sighed wistfully.

A layer of illusion formed by spiritual power covered this col in a three-hundred-sixty-degree radius like a distorted halo.

But in the face of the intent of destruction and the intent of holiness, this layer of illusory protection was as good as non-existent.

Passing through the layer of illusions, a patch of colorful thick fog came into view, rendering the forest below the col in seven colors.

Based on the Dragon Emperor's experience, he knew that this was the poisonous miasma emitted by the Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers.

Yet neither he nor the Holy Dragon King took any protective measures as they plunged straight into the poisonous miasma.

The two of them—one was essentially the god-grade Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and the other was a temporary shell molded from Life Gold.

Therefore, they had absolutely no interest in resisting the "body odor" emitted by the Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers.

The two dove another dozen meters, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A secret mountain valley appeared before their eyes.

First and foremost, a pool of spring water was the most eye-catching.

Deep in the center of the valley floor, the surface of the pool was red and blue, neither encroaching upon the other, distinct and clearly separated.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was named for this.

The Dragon Emperor spoke without reservation: "Look, that is the corpse water from the grave pit of your Fire Brother and Water Sister."

"Uh..." the Holy Dragon King clarified: "It should be that the underground water vein was smashed through, causing it to surge to the surface. It is only because it has been soaking the dragon corpses that it steams with the dragon qi of ice and fire."

The two landed lightly, the medicinal herbs beneath their feet emitting a "rustling" sound.

A series of chaotic thoughts, as if encountering a nemesis, scattered like gophers the moment the two touched the ground, retreating into their "nests."

Although this was a secret realm inherited by the Tang Sect and protected by illusion arrays on the outside, no one was stationed inside the valley.

This was a place where the top brass of the Tang Sect only had one entry quota every hundred years, and one could not take more than two medicinal herbs.

But around this two-colored pool, a dazzling array of exotic flowers, rare grasses, and precious medicinal herbs grew.

Everything from the first to the twelfth grade was in abundance.

Anyone who has read federal pharmacology must know:

Medicines, like people, are divided into different ranks.

Among them, the first to third grades are common, the fourth to sixth grades are rare treasures, and the seventh to ninth grades are precious medicines;

Just as it was twenty thousand years ago, the Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom that Tang San bestowed upon Yu Xiaogang was a nine-grade precious herb.

It had already reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm.

Above these precious herbs were the ten-grade ones, which were ordinary immortal-grade herbs.

Among them were all the herbs blooming with extraordinary radiance in the vicinity of where the Dragon Emperor and the Holy Dragon King had settled: the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Crystal Jade Muscle Bone, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, the Gazing Autumn Begonia, the Purple-Green Dragon Mushroom, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Star-Net Spirit Pearl, the Primordial Immortal Grass, and the Fragrant Silk Luo Flower.

These ordinary immortal-grade herbs were the ones that truly held status in the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Not only did they each possess unique medicinal effects, but they also required one-of-a-kind methods of consumption.

The Dragon Emperor led the Holy Dragon King past the towering, vibrant clusters of herbs and walked to the bank of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

On the banks of the Yin pole spring and the Yang pole spring stood two herbs born from the pure dragon qi of water and fire: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Both were eleven-grade peerless medicinal herbs, referred to as peerless immortal-grade herbs, containing within them extreme cold and scorching fire toxins.

These two not only had unique methods of consumption but also required unique methods of harvesting.

Only by extracting the cold dew and the scorching gel through special techniques could spirit masters of ice or fire attributes consume them safely.

However, none of these were the Dragon Emperor's goal for this trip.

He arrived before the center line between the Yin pole and the Yang pole.

Within the herb garden of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there were "four" prime planting locations.

Two of these were situated at the left and right ends of the spring, which were the Yin pole point and the Yang pole point.

However, those two locations had extreme growth restrictions, suitable only for the development of peerless immortal-grade herbs like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, which possessed a single fire or single ice attribute.

The remaining two locations were situated at the top and bottom ends of the spring's boundary line, capable of simultaneously enjoying the nourishment of dragon qi neutralized by both ice and fire.

One of these neutralization points was right before the Dragon Emperor.

Author's Note:

The Holy Dragon King is born with four wings.

Referencing the light, holy, and flame tri-extremes of the Six-Winged Seraph.

They correspond respectively to: the Two-Winged Light Angel, the Four-Winged Holy Angel, and the Six-Winged Seraph (Great Sun Angel).

Therefore, as the Holy Dragon King possesses the dual extremes of light and holiness, he should also be in a four-winged dragon form.
