Heading to Sunset Forest

"What! Brother Jue, you've already broken through to level twenty?"

"Damn it! I've been working so hard, yet I still can't even catch a glimpse of your taillights?"

Hearing the news Yu Tianjue brought, Yu Tianheng, who had been diligently cultivating, felt his gaze lose focus. His eyes went vacant, looking completely broken.

"While I can't let you catch my exhaust, I can grant you the most supreme talent."

The moment those words fell, the previously listless Yu Tianheng sprang up, his face beaming with smiles as he grabbed Yu Tianjue. "Brother Jue, your brother here has never asked you for anything, but this time, I'm truly begging you."

"How can I obtain the most supreme talent? Tell me quickly!"

Begging... if it were Yu Tianheng, he wouldn't need to wait in line.

But, aren't you being a bit too impatient?

Yu Tianjue lowered his head, looking at the hand Yu Tianheng had clamped onto him.

Seeing that his clothes were being pulled out of shape, Yu Tianheng laughed sheepishly. "Brother Jue, I'm just too anxious. I'm just so eager to improve."

"You know I enjoy flipping through miscellaneous books in my spare time. One of them recorded a miraculous treasure land in the Sunset Forest called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Countless immortal herbs grow within that sanctuary; even if an ordinary person consumes just one, they could be reborn and possess the most top-tier talent in this world."

"I've already told Grandfather about this. It won't be long before he takes us both to find it."

"Miscellaneous books? A treasure land? Immortal herbs?"

Yu Tianheng's expression turned slightly hesitant. "Are these miscellaneous books reliable?"

Seeing this, the corner of Yu Tianjue's mouth twitched, and he retorted, "Who knows if they're reliable? Just tell me, are you going or not?"

"I'm going! I'm going! If there's such a thing, of course I'm going!"

Yu Tianheng was truly his grandfather's own grandson; the reactions of the two were almost identical!

When he had mentioned this to Yu Yuanzhen, the old man had reacted the same way. Yu Yuanzhen knew that Yu Tianjue had no other hobbies besides reading various miscellaneous books from the family collection or the outside market. He hadn't doubted the source of the information, only questioned whether such a place truly existed.

After much deliberation, Yu Yuanzhen decided to go and try his luck.

Even if the records in the miscellaneous book were fake, they wouldn't lose anything; he could just treat it as taking the two children out to see the world. But if it were true... then Tianheng could soar directly to the heavens!

Holding this thought, Yu Yuanzhen immediately began preparations.

The experience in the Far North, where they encountered the Ice Empress and the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, still left Yu Yuanzhen with lingering fears. Therefore, this time, he decided not only to take the two brothers, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianjue, personally, but also to bring several elders from the clan, leaving only his younger brother, Yu Luomian, to guard the family and the sect.

One Titled Douluo, several Soul Douluos, and several Soul Saints—this lineup was more than enough to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Surely, there couldn't be any mistakes this time, right?

The Sunset Forest is located in the southern suburbs of Heaven Dou City. Although its area is only one-eighth that of the Star Dou Forest, it is also a large-scale gathering place for soul beasts. The vast sea of forest stretches across the land, and because orange-red miasma floats between the trees year-round, looking like a perpetual sunset from afar, it is named the Sunset Forest.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well lies in the core area of the Sunset Forest.

To reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one must first pass through the thick, seven-colored poisonous miasma. Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen had made full preparations before coming. As soon as they reached the edge of the Sunset Forest, he distributed the Miasma-Avoiding Pills he had prepared in advance, emphasizing his instructions to the two brothers, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianjue.

"To travel through the Sunset Forest, Miasma-Avoiding Pills are essential. Even with them, there is still a risk of being affected by the miasma. If you two feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, state your condition immediately. That treasure land is precious, but your safety is far more important."

Seeing both Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianjue nod earnestly, and watching them consume the pills, Yu Yuanzhen felt relieved and turned to instruct the others he had brought along:

"Keep a close watch. Although the Sunset Forest is not as dangerous as the Star Dou Forest or the Far North with their many high-level soul beasts, do not let your guard down. Tianheng and Tianjue are the future hope of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Even if you encounter danger, you must protect their safety at the first opportunity!"

"Yes! Sect Master!"

With everything prepared, Yu Yuanzhen took the lead and brought everyone into the forest.

Just as Yu Yuanzhen had said, the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest were not as numerous or powerful as those in the Star Dou Forest. Although they encountered some soul beasts after entering, most were low-level ones like Mandala Snakes or Earth Cave Demon Spiders; they hadn't even encountered many ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Looking at these soul beasts, a thought suddenly crossed Yu Tianjue's mind regarding a special soul beast that only appeared in the first volume of the Douluo Continent series.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which resided in the Star Dou Forest.

Although this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's cultivation had not yet reached eighty thousand years, its strength was in no way inferior to some ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, especially that bizarre Space-Time Arena—a truly shameless cheat skill.

If Tang San hadn't been able to use his hidden weapons and Tang Sect secret techniques even after returning to his childhood, he might have truly suffered a major setback against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Moreover, the orb formed after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's death even became the "golden finger" for the protagonist of another novel written by Tang San.

From every perspective, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and his newly awakened second martial soul, the Asura Demon Sword... seemed unexpectedly compatible.

In that case, he could consider the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a soul ring choice for his Asura Demon Sword martial soul in the future.

"Once we pass through this layer of poisonous miasma, we should be entering the central area of the Sunset Forest. Tianjue, the treasure land you mentioned should be nearby, right? It's a pity you forgot which miscellaneous book you saw it in; otherwise, there should have been a map in that book."

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's voice, Yu Tianjue coughed twice.

"It should be soon. I remember the description said that after passing through a thick layer of poisonous miasma, one would see a valley. The entire valley is surrounded by ring-shaped mountain walls, divided into two, with yin and yang in opposition—it is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"We have traveled quite a distance; if this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well truly exists, it should be very close now."
