Trading the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Twin Dragon Kings!

Dugu Bo kowtowed heavily toward Long Yun.

Long Yun watched him in a measured, unhurried manner.

"Curing the poison in your bodies is nothing more than a trivial effort for me."

"However, I do not work for free."

Dugu Bo hurriedly replied:

"As long as you speak the word, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of flames, this junior will not even frown!"

A smile touched the corners of Long Yun's mouth as he shook his head.

"That won't be necessary."

"I have heard that you possess a rather peculiar valley known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Hand that place over to me, and I will ensure the lives of both you and your granddaughter."

Upon hearing the five words "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.

Although that valley was somewhat miraculous, the extreme heat and cold within were so intense that he could not venture deep into it himself; he usually only used the hot springs there to suppress the snake venom in his body.

To trade a valley that was somewhat of a white elephant—and even dangerous—to him.

In exchange for his own life and his granddaughter's.

This deal was worth it to the extreme!

"This junior agrees!"

"I can hand over that valley with both hands at any time, without a single complaint!"

Dugu Bo was overjoyed, his entire body trembling with excitement.

Seeing him agree so readily, Long Yun nodded with a measure of satisfaction.

"That is good."

"You may withdraw. In a few days, I will go there myself."

After Dugu Bo retreated from the reception room with a thousand thanks, Long Yun leaned back in his grand armchair and sighed with a touch of emotion:

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well..."

"Come to think of it, those two Ice and Fire Dragon Kings who fell back then could be considered my juniors."

"I wonder if their lingering dragon souls still have any chance of resurrection today."

Just as Dugu Bo left the gates of Rainbow Academy, the firmament of the entire Douluo Continent suddenly began to tremble violently.

The auspicious clouds across the sky receded, and a brilliant, almost blinding purple glow began to gather frantically at the center of the Sky Screen.

Everyone immediately understood.

The ranking of the eighth-place King of Ten Thousand Demons had concluded.

Now.

The seventh place, which had been so eagerly anticipated, was about to be revealed!

Dugu Bo, who had just stepped out of the academy gates, also looked up in shock, staring at the Sky Screen.

"This Douluo Continent is far more mysterious and powerful than I imagined."

"However, in front of the Dean, these so-called miracles are likely nothing more than that."

Having experienced the pressure that felt like facing a god just moments ago, Dugu Bo's worship of Long Yun had reached its peak.

At this moment, the barrage on the Sky Screen was once again scrolling frantically.

"It's here, it's here! The seventh place is coming out!"

"The King of Ten Thousand Demons was 550,000 years, so wouldn't this seventh place be heading toward 600,000 years?"

"A cultivation limit of 600,000 years... My god, such an existence must truly be god-like on our continent, right?"

Under the expectant gazes of countless soul masters and soul beasts, the light on the Sky Screen solidified.

Several lines of imposing golden characters emerged with a boom:

[Soul Beast Ranking Seventh Place: Bi Ji]

[Race: Emerald Swan]

[Cultivation: 600,000 years]

As soon as these words appeared, a collective gasp echoed across the entire Douluo Continent.

"Emerald Swan... Bi Ji?"

"600,000 years of cultivation!"

"Good heavens, it really is six hundred thousand years!"

Immediately after.

The image on the Sky Screen slowly pulled back.

It was a massive lake, calm and as blue as a sapphire.

In the center of the lake, under the shade of a colossal, heaven-piercing ancient tree.

A giant swan with an elegant posture and feathers shimmering with a warm, emerald luster stood quietly upon the water's surface.

Her eyes, gentle and spirited, were like the purest jade.

Countless soft green specks of light drifted through the air with her every breath, appearing sacred and serene.

Watching this beautiful scene.

Someone in the barrage suddenly noticed something amiss.

"Wait a minute... this lake, and this huge tree..."

"Isn't this the same forest from the King of Ten Thousand Demons' scene just now?"

"Right! I remember now! That is definitely the same place!"

"Holy crap! The Star Dou Great Forest!"

"This Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, is actually a Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest too?!"

On the Sky Screen, the clear, jewel-like Lake of Life rippled with shimmering waves.

The shade of that heaven-piercing ancient tree made countless Soul Masters feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After a brief silence, the barrage on the Sky Screen began to scroll frantically once more in a violent frenzy.

"Hold on!"

"This lake and this big tree, aren't they the same place that appeared in the King of Ten Thousand Demons' scene earlier?"

"It's definitely the same place! That tree blocking out the sky looks just like the King of Ten Thousand Demons!"

"My god, this seventh-ranked Bi Ji is actually a Soul Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest as well?"

"First Xiong Jun, then the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and now this Bi Ji... just what kind of blessed land is this Star Dou Great Forest?"

"It hides so many terrifying monsters, yet we humans actually thought there were only two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts inside."

"Do you think the legendary Beast God, Di Tian, might be from here too?"

"It has to be! This Star Dou Great Forest is simply heaven-defyingly strong!"

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the core area, beside the Lake of Life.

The originally calm lake water rippled with strange emerald-green waves at this moment.

The various fierce beasts raised their massive heads one after another, looking at the incomparably elegant figure on the Sky Screen that radiated endless vitality.

"It really is Lady Bi Ji."

Scarlet King shook its three massive heads, its tone filled with deep reverence.

Beside it, Zi Ji curled her lips slightly, her eyes holding unconcealable envy.

"That old tree spirit, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, only ranked eighth and received a thirty-thousand-year cultivation limit increase, plus a top-tier immortal herb."

"Lady Bi Ji's ranking is even higher than that old tree spirit's; the reward issued by this Sky Screen will likely be even more terrifying, right?"

Hearing Zi Ji's words, Bi Ji, who stood at the very front, could not help but let a look of sincere joy appear on her fair, jade-like face.

Although she was gentle by nature and disliked fighting, she naturally yearned for rewards that could increase her own cultivation and stabilize the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest.

With her six hundred thousand years of cultivation, if she could advance further, it would be a tremendous boon for the entire Soul Beast race.

"Bi Ji, congratulations."

Di Tian stepped to Bi Ji's side, his eyes carrying a touch of gentleness, but even more so, a strong sense of anticipation.

Bi Ji shook her head gently and said in a soft voice:

"I didn't expect that I would be able to rank seventh."
