Gu Yuena's "Dream"

"Phoenix King, there's no need for you to obtain any artificial flame yet. Those are things you can acquire later; they're still a little too far off for you right now. Once you can successfully cultivate Battle Qi and reach the level of a Dou Zhe, I'll get you an artificial flame then."

Medicine Elder's conditions were not difficult. Simply put, Phoenix King only needed to reach the level of a Dou Zhe and become capable of properly cultivating Battle Qi. Then Medicine Elder would obtain a good artificial flame for him. It truly was no difficult matter.

"Understood," Phoenix King said. Then, Gu Yuena's expression suddenly changed.

"Di Tian, Mr. Medicine Elder, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"???"

"???"

The two did not quite understand what Gu Yuena wanted from them—one was her subordinate, while the other was her partner.

"Big Sister Gu Yuena, what is it you want to say?"

"For us, it should count as an opportunity—or perhaps something uncertain..." Gu Yuena clearly had something she wanted to say.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Medicine Elder said. He could tell that Gu Yuena seemed uncertain about something, which was why she wanted to tell them.

"It's like this. In my dream, I saw that there seemed to be an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well somewhere in Sunset Forest. There, I heard the wails of dragon clansmen..."

"???" x3

Di Tian, Medicine Elder, and Phoenix King all wore different expressions and had different thoughts.

Could it be some kind of mutual resonance among dragons, calling out to Gu Yuena?

That was what Medicine Elder thought.

Could it be the dragon souls of fallen clansmen, crying out to their lord for help?

Di Tian guessed at one possibility.

Could Gu Yuena be a transmigrator? Phoenix King thought in astonishment. Logically speaking, Gu Yuena should not know about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at this point.

After all, this place was supposed to be occupied by Dugu Bo. Given Dugu Bo's personality, there was no way he would casually reveal the location of his treasure, so outsiders should not know about it.

Yet Gu Yuena had a "dream" and learned of this place. Though she did not specify where in Sunset Forest it was, the issue was that Sunset Forest clearly had an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, didn't it?

This made no sense at all. If the two Dragon Kings at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were sending out some sort of distress signal, then Gu Yuena should have known or sensed it long ago and sent Di Tian there already.

Why did it have to be now?

And Gu Yuena specifically called it a dream. That was highly unreasonable—too strange. She had only dreamed of this place after they had begun to develop. There was definitely something wrong with that. Clearly, Gu Yuena might be using this as cover.

"You may think it's merely an ordinary dream, but I still can't put my mind at ease. So I hope to go to Sunset Forest and take a look, to see whether there's anything unusual there. Perhaps we might truly discover something strange, or perhaps the place where dragon clansmen fell. Di Tian, you don't distrust me, do you?"

Once Gu Yuena said that, Di Tian was rendered speechless. Did he dare say no?

Besides, he was indeed inclined to believe Gu Yuena. In his eyes, Gu Yuena was an incarnation of the Dragon God, so she must possess special dragon-clan abilities that allowed her to sense certain unusual places.

Perhaps dragon clansmen truly had fallen in Sunset Forest, but their dragon souls had remained behind. In other words, dragon souls were calling for help from Gu Yuena, calling out to their fellow dragons.

"My lord, I'll go to Sunset Forest to investigate at once. I'll turn the entire forest upside down and find it for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. If you discover anything, contact me immediately, and we'll decide what to do then."

"Understood."

"I've taken the Humanoid Transformation Pill, so the God Realm cannot sense my aura. I can rest easy, but I still hope that Mr. Medicine Elder can remain by my side. If we encounter trouble, he can help me."

"Fine." Medicine Elder was also half-convinced. He felt it was possible that the dragons of the Douluo Continent had some special ability to send out distress signals that others of their kind could sense.

And if this truly turned out to be a good thing, they would not be losing out.

Phoenix King was different. He knew very well that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was crucial to whether Tang San could become a god in the future and develop his talent.

Only with those Immortal Herbs could Tang San become a god, and only then would the Shrek Seven Devils be qualified to undergo divine trials. Without those Immortal Herbs, if Tang San and the others could become gods through Shrek's training methods alone, that would be a miracle.

Take Tang San's Innate Soul Power, for example. Given the effect of his physical condition and the living environment Tang Hao provided, how could he possibly have had a good body?

The later series of Douluo Continent clearly told readers that while those with high Innate Soul Power were not necessarily physically strong, a good body at least would not result in excessively poor Innate Soul Power.

Take Huo Yuhao, for example. His childhood living environment should originally have allowed him to possess better Innate Soul Power, rather than only level one. But because his environment was so terrible, his Innate Soul Power was only level one when he awakened his martial soul.

With Tang San's living environment, it would have been strange enough for him to awaken Innate Full Soul Power.

Moreover, even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it proved that Tang San was definitely not born with Innate Full Soul Power. Tang San had cultivated until he became calm, then awakened his martial soul and obtained a soul ring before cultivating more deeply.

Therefore, Tang San was definitely not born with Innate Full Soul Power.

If his body had been a little better, then his Soul Power Level should have been a little higher.

But this also proved that Tang San's aptitude was not the peerless talent everyone imagined, a genius naturally born with Innate Full Soul Power. His Innate Full Soul Power had been cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Without the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it would be questionable whether Tang San could defeat the Four Elements Academies in the future Soul Master Tournament, since he would not have the Immortal Herbs to grant him abilities such as fire immunity.

The moment Tang San encountered Blazing Fire Academy, he would have to kneel and beg for mercy, much less defeat Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian was genuinely born with Innate Full Soul Power.

And Shrek's education basically consisted of running, physical training, and the like. There was nothing particularly special about it. It called itself a monster academy, yet it had no outstanding educational resources.

It had even allowed many outstanding students to die in the mouths of Soul Beasts. Some students who failed to meet the graduation requirements were directly expelled from the academy.

What powerful monsters could an academy like that possibly produce? It could be said that Tang San's future was probably ruined.
