Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

"Congratulations, Young Master!"

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo stared at Qian Xunji in utter shock. A top-tier light-type soul beast that was seventy-five thousand years old—Qian Xunji had killed it at level 80 without even possessing an Eighth Soul Ring. If it had been them, let alone when they were Soul Douluos, even with their current cultivation, taking it down one-on-one would not have been easy.

The Angel Spirit truly deserved its reputation as the continent's strongest spirit!

Once Qian Xunji absorbed his Eighth Soul Ring, his strength would likely surpass even the two brothers'.

Qian Xunji briefly steadied his breathing and said, "Elders, please stand guard for me."

"Understood!" x2

Qian Xunji sat cross-legged. Guided by his will, the Two-Winged Light White Tiger's soul ring settled around his body. In an instant, an incomparably pure and immense surge of Soul Power flooded into him, rampaging through the meridians throughout his body. At the same time, within his spiritual world, the Two-Winged Light White Tiger's resentment took form and charged wildly through his sea of consciousness, seemingly intending to utterly destroy his mind and turn him into an idiot.

With the powerful rank suppression of the Angel Spirit's matching attribute, he could completely withstand the pressure brought by the soul ring. His sea of consciousness continued to churn violently, but fortunately, before hunting the Two-Winged Light White Tiger, he had killed a sixty-five-thousand-year-old soul beast and obtained a head soul bone, greatly enhancing his Spiritual Power. He successfully endured the Two-Winged Light White Tiger's assault of resentment as well.

It had to be said that the knowledge generations of predecessors had compiled at the cost of their lives was truly valuable. After all, for soul masters without cheat abilities, this really was the limit.

After spending more than half a day, Qian Xunji finally finished absorbing the soul ring. His Soul Power surged straight to level 83.

Normally, even after absorbing a seventy-five-thousand-year soul ring, Qian Xunji's cultivation would at most have approached level 82. However, he had previously absorbed the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Head Soul Bone, which had also raised his cultivation. Once he obtained the Eighth Soul Ring, that increase was fully revealed.

The Soul Tool in Qian Xunji's hand flashed, and he stored away the Two-Winged Light White Tiger's corpse.

The corpse of a seventy-five-thousand-year soul beast still contained exceptionally abundant Soul Power. Delicacies made from the flesh and blood of such soul beasts were not only delicious dishes, but also excellent cultivation resources. Naturally, they could not be wasted.

"Elders, let us go to Sunset Forest."

Seeing the confusion in Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's eyes, Qian Xunji said, "Before coming to obtain a soul ring, I happened to discover in an ancient text that Sunset Forest contains a treasure land no less remarkable than the Star Dou Great Forest. The Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous, but Sunset Forest should be far less perilous. With the strength of you two elders, I believe you should be able to come and go freely."

"You flatter us, Young Master. With your current strength, you are already no weaker than us brothers."

After a round of mutual flattery, Qian Xunji, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo set out for Sunset Forest and began their search.

After searching for three days and three nights, the three of them found nothing.

Qianjun Douluo said, "Young Master, is this information truly reliable? We have already circled all of Sunset Forest."

Qian Xunji's brows furrowed slightly as well. That should not be right. They had clearly searched the entire area, so why was there no poisonous miasma from Dugu Bo?

Right, what era was this? There were still more than thirty years until the story's timeline began.

Qian Xunji closed his eyes, and inspiration flashed through his mind. He had fallen into the cognitive trap of having read the novel before and had not carefully recalled the original owner's memories. At this point in time, Dugu Bo's cultivation was probably only at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level. He was still searching across the continent for a way to cure his family's Jade Phosphorous Serpent problem and had not yet discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Otherwise, when he appeared, he would not have been alone aside from his granddaughter.

And in the current timeline, Tang Chen was still the Clear Sky Sect's sect master! Qian Xunji had not yet ascended to the position of Pope and sent people to attack Sea God Island, after which Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen traveled together to Sea God Island and met Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi. None of it had begun yet.

His thoughts finally came full circle, and the logic became clear. After Qian Xunji ascended as Pope, why did he insist on attacking the newly discovered Sea God Island instead of suppressing the perfectly fine Clear Sky Sect? Why did Qian Daoliu abdicate so early, saying things that would easily damage one's self-esteem, telling him to peacefully guard Spirit Hall's foundation? And why did Qian Xunji become so aggressive after taking the Pope's seat?

Qian Daoliu's thinking was simple: he sought stability. After all, the Qian family had the lingering blessings of the God Ancestor. Reaching level 99 was practically effortless. Then Qian Xunji only needed to outlive Tang Chen, and Spirit Hall would become the continent's unquestioned overlord.

Qian Xunji, meanwhile, had been discouraged by Qian Daoliu. Thus, after ascending to the position of Pope, he became extremely aggressive and resolved to accomplish something great. That was why he attacked Sea God Island, promoted his breakthrough to Titled Douluo before fifty as well as Spirit Hall's once-in-a-generation genius, and so on.

Having figured everything out, two enormous words surfaced in Qian Xunji's heart: speechless. He was speechless to the extreme. In the previous era, Spirit Hall's one and only idiotic path had been stumbled upon by this odd father-son pair. As for the Spirit Hall of the next era, with its three love-brained fools, there was no need to say more.

"Elders, we have searched the general regions of Sunset Forest. Now, we will focus on searching the valleys."

As soon as he finished speaking, eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—appeared beneath Qian Xunji's feet. With a beat of his wings, he flew into the air and began searching from above. Since they were not looking for poisonous miasma, they only needed to find that mountain.

Within a vast, lush forest, a hill roughly five hundred meters tall stood out conspicuously.

Just as Qian Xunji, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo were about to reach the hill, two pale white lights lit up from a crevice somewhere on it. Immediately afterward, two pale white Soul Power beams shot toward them at tremendous speed.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo immediately attacked with Coiling Dragon Staffs in hand. When the staffs struck the Soul Power beams, there was no great commotion, but the Soul Power surging around the Coiling Dragon Staffs actually turned into stone and fell away.

"What is that?!"

Qianjun Douluo swept his Spiritual Power downward. It was a creature roughly eight meters long, with a human body and a serpent tail. Its features were extraordinarily seductive, and its dark green eyes had emitted the white light just now. Most eye-catching of all was its hair, which was made entirely of tiny snakes, a horrifying sight.

"A fifty-thousand-year Medusa Queen? You are simply courting death!"

Qianjun Douluo showed no mercy. He knew that the Medusa Queen had launched an attack in advance because they had intruded upon its territory and it believed they had come to kill it.

But so what? In the world of soul masters, weakness was the original sin. There was no place for the weak before the strong. When facing the strong, one could only crawl and beg for survival, leaving one's fate to the other party's decision.

Qianjun Douluo might behave like a normal person or a senior toward other soul masters, but in his eyes, soul beasts were merely animals. The only reason they were spared was to ensure the sustainable use of soul ring resources. But since it wanted to court death, then he would simply kill it.
