The Reborn, Di Tian Has Arrived

"My Lord, I shall depart at once." After Di Tian finished speaking, he headed toward the Sunset Forest at top speed to investigate.

"Grandfather." A young girl approached an old man with white hair at this moment.

"Yan Yan."

This pair of grandfather and granddaughter were the benefactors of Tang San in the Douluo Continent—Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. If not for them, Dugu Yan's fate might have been different.

If not for their Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, whether Tang San could have defeated Spirit Hall would have remained an unknown. Furthermore, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later became an important location for the Tang Sect. Yet, as it turned out, the Dugu family never appeared in the subsequent The Peerless Tang Sect, Legend of the Dragon King, or even Ultimate Douluo. It was quite obvious that their line had ended.

The reason was simple: the treatment method Tang San provided was inherently flawed.

Tang San proposed two sets of plans:

Consume the Ice and Fire dual herbs to neutralize the toxins (abandoning one's cultivation): Have Dugu Bo consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, using the extreme cold and extreme heat to neutralize the accumulated toxins in his body—but Dugu Bo's soul power was deeply bound to the toxins; once the toxins were gone, his poison-based cultivation would be completely crippled, reducing him to an ordinary Title Douluo.

Store toxins in a soul bone + guided by medicinal pills (retaining cultivation): Use pills containing Tang San's blood—which had been tempered by the Ice and Fire—to help Dugu Bo gradually "filter" the free-roaming toxins eroding his internal organs and compress them into a soul bone (in the original work, Dugu Bo used his skull bone). This would relieve the backlash within his body while retaining his poison cultivation.

In the end, Dugu Bo chose the second option, successfully relieving the backlash of the toxins on his internal organs and bone marrow, while retaining his Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor poison cultivation.

However, there was a problem. Injecting toxins into a soul bone might solve the toxins in Dugu Bo's body, but had anyone considered this? Soul bones also have a capacity limit. When the soul bone was full and could no longer contain the toxins, what was Dugu Bo supposed to do?

What was Dugu Yan supposed to do?

On Earth, experiments had already been conducted showing that everything has a capacity limit.

For instance, a university professor once conducted an experiment for his students using water vapor: after compression, it turned into water; after water was compressed to the extreme, it turned into high-density ice. How could high-density ice be compressed further?

The same logic applied: when the toxins inside Dugu Bo's soul bone were compressed to a certain point where they could no longer be condensed, what would Dugu Bo do then?

The same logic applied to Dugu Yan.

"Grandfather, no matter what, we cannot let Tang San take advantage of us this time."

Dugu Yan spoke at this moment. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan shared a secret: they were both reincarnated.

"I once trusted Tang San immensely, but it turned out he was a hypocrite." Dugu Bo was also furious at this moment. Tang San had picked every single immortal herb clean for himself. Although they could grow back later, the problem was that his granddaughter had died.

"After that great war ended, Grandfather, you sacrificed the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and I was the only one left to inherit it. But I had no husband, and I was guarding it alone, only to find that..."

(Note: Dugu Bo sacrificed himself in the animation. I am referencing the animation here, as it increases the hatred the Dugu family feels toward Tang San.)

"The treatment method Tang San provided was fundamentally flawed! Soul bones have limits. The method Tang San gave was to channel toxins into the soul bone, but the problem is, once the soul bone reaches its limit, how can one continue to channel the toxins? That is why I died like that! Tang San is too sinister. His goal in doing this was to permanently occupy the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and steal what originally belonged to our family."

Although Dugu Yan did not call out to Tang San before she died, the fact remained that the treatment method Tang San provided was clearly wrong. Wasn't it just to wait until the entire Dugu family was dead so he could rightfully occupy the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

The fact that the Dugu family did not appear in the later Douluo Continent series was the best proof. Even their martial souls never appeared, nor did their surname. Did this not prove everything?

Some say that Tang San was still decent in the first Douluo Continent, but the problem is that the things he did at the beginning of the story in the first Douluo Continent did not seem that great either.

"I once trusted Tang San so much, but he treated me like this. In the great war against Spirit Hall, I gave my all, I even sacrificed myself, yet my granddaughter died like that..."

Dugu Bo had been reborn after death. He did not know about the later events until he discovered his granddaughter was also a reincarnated soul. After she told him what happened, he realized that their entire family had been made into fools!

"Grandfather, now that we have so many immortal herbs, we don't know if Tang San has been reborn, but the problem is we can use these immortal herbs to evolve our martial souls. If we let our martial souls evolve, perhaps we can avoid this poison. Why should we give them to Tang San?"

Dugu Yan's words made a lot of sense at this moment. With so many safeguards, they could keep them for themselves to strengthen their family's power. Why give them to Tang San?

"That makes sense, but the problem is I don't know what these immortal herbs do. I must find someone who understands them. I know who understands them, but the problem is I don't want to see him..." The person Dugu Bo was referring to at this moment was Chrysanthemum Guan, Yue Guan.

Dugu Yan also guessed who it was; after all, having spent so much time with her grandfather, she understood some of his past.

"Grandfather, there are so many people on the continent; there must be someone who understands immortal herbs. For example, the Break Clan also understands them. Why don't we win over the Break Clan? Back then, the Break Clan was treated as a discarded pawn by the Clear Sky Sect. If we use the immortal herbs to win them over, we should be able to bring them to our side. Then we can use the immortal herbs to evolve our martial souls. And Grandfather, don't forget you are a Title Douluo, while Yang Wudi is only a Soul Douluo. We hold the dominant position."

After Dugu Yan said this, Dugu Bo indeed felt this method was feasible. He had also been a member of the Tang Sect and understood Yang Wudi's character.

Since he held absolute hatred for the Clear Sky Sect, he should be able to be won over.

Moreover, since he was a Title Douluo, Yang Wudi would not dare to do anything to betray him.

"Then let us depart now."

Just as Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were about to leave, a figure walked over, and their aura was extremely powerful.

"Oh no!" Dugu Bo quickly shielded Dugu Yan behind him; she was his only granddaughter.

"May I ask who you are, Excellency?" Dugu Bo could sense the other party's strength; it was definitely at the Title Douluo level, and even above his own.

"This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is ours now. Leave immediately, and I shall spare your lives!" Di Tian said loudly at this moment.

"!!!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing these words, the two were stunned. Why would anyone know the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?
