Facing the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's questions,

Di Tian hurriedly explained, "Uncles, this is what happened. After we were defeated in the Dragon God War, the Golden Dragon King was sealed within a forbidden area of the Divine Realm. Our lord, the Silver Dragon King, was also severely injured by the Asura God King, her origin damaged. She retreated to the Life Lake on Douluo Continent to recover..."

"Originally, our lord's injuries would have required at least another ten or twenty thousand years to heal. But several years ago, she sensed a special human entering the Star Dou Forest."

"We observed him for several days and discovered that he possessed a beast clan bloodline we had never seen before. It was incredibly powerful. In our lord's words, that bloodline even far surpassed the Dragon God!"

"Later, our lord discovered that the aura of bloodline origin leaking from that human could accelerate her recovery. So, she chose to seal her origin injuries, emerge early in human form, and stay by that human's side."

"There were a total of nine seals. One would be released with every major realm breakthrough... Once our lord recovered to the human seven-ring Soul Sage level, her memories would be unsealed."

"As for why we deliberately caused our lord to faint earlier, the reason was simple. First, our lord instructed us before taking human form not to reveal her identity before her memories returned."

"Second, the topic we needed to discuss was unsuitable for her to hear right now. It could affect her emotions, causing her, without her memories restored, to overthink things or even tell that human."

After hearing Di Tian's explanation,

the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King finally understood everything. The reason the Silver Dragon King did not recognize them was that her memories had yet to be unsealed.

Immediately afterward,

the two Dragon Souls thought of the powerful human Di Tian had mentioned earlier, the one with a mysterious beast clan bloodline.

After exchanging glances,

they simultaneously released what little divine sense they had left. It passed through the ice and fire spring waters and settled upon Jin Feng within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, Jin Feng, who was picking medicinal herbs, froze. He subconsciously raised his eyes and frowned toward the direction of the ice and fire springs...

There was no other reason.

Jin Feng sensed two mysterious gazes spying on him. In this place, the only ones who would do so were the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

!!!

Seeing how keen Jin Feng's senses were,

the divine senses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings did not linger any longer and swiftly withdrew.

Immediately afterward, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's exclamations reached Di Tian's ears.

"What sharp perception."

"This human truly possesses a mysterious bloodline that fills even us with dread. Its bloodline pressure even surpasses that of the Dragon God from back then. No wonder merely leaking traces of its origin aura can help the Silver Dragon King recover from her injuries..."

"Could such a bloodline come from the inheritance of some powerful beast clan in the vast starry sky beyond the Douluo God Realm?"

"That is indeed possible. Compared to the vast starry sky, Douluo Planet is merely a tiny corner..."

After discussing it for a while,

the two Dragon Kings turned their gazes toward the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who floated in midair.

After a long silence,

the two Dragon Kings seemed to have made some decision.

They suddenly said to Di Tian, "Since the Silver Dragon King is about to break through and has happened to come here, let us two old fellows help resolve the next seal on her origin injuries!"

With that said,

as the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King willed it, one blue and one red streak shot out from the massive dragon skeletons behind them and landed on Gu Yuena's left and right arms respectively.

Once the dazzling light faded,

two Divine Level soul bones, one blue and one red, had appeared on Gu Yuena's arms.

Seeing this,

Di Tian subconsciously asked, "Uncles, if you give these soul bones to our lord to fuse with, strengthening her physique and healing her injuries, will it affect your Dragon Souls?"

In response,

the Fire Dragon King said freely, "Di Tian, we two old fellows are merely remnant souls barely clinging to existence. We will not last much longer. If we can contribute something to our clan before we perish, then our deaths will have been worthwhile."

The Ice Dragon King also added, "There is no need to be sad. We have only one request: once those people above have left, Di Tian, bring your true body here and carry our dragon bones back to the Dragon Graveyard for burial..."

After giving their final instructions,

the two Dragon Kings immediately began using the little power they had left to help Gu Yuena fuse with the soul bones, assist her in breaking through the level 40 bottleneck, strengthen her physique, and repair the origin injuries within her that had broken through their seal!

Meanwhile,

within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Jin Feng swiftly gathered the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Narcissus Jade Bone... and other immortal-grade medicinal herbs.

After returning to his grandfather and the others,

he first selected two suitable immortal-grade herbs for his uncle Niu Ben and the Fourth Elder, informing them how to consume and absorb them.

Immediately afterward,

he placed a chrysanthemum-shaped immortal herb in his grandfather Niu Gao's hand and said, "Grandpa, this is the immortal-grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. After consuming it, you will definitely break through the level 90 bottleneck. It will also temper your muscles and bones, strengthen your body's explosive power, and forge an indestructible body."

Looking at the somewhat familiar-looking Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand, Niu Gao subconsciously muttered, "Why does this immortal herb feel so similar to Yue Guan's martial soul?"

Upon hearing that,

Jin Feng wanted to say that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

But he did not speak.

He had never met Chrysanthemum Douluo since birth. He had not even met the man, much less seen his martial soul.

"Xiao Feng, how should I eat this immortal herb?"

When faced with Niu Gao's question, Jin Feng immediately replied, "Eat the stamens in the center first, then eat the petals one by one... You do not need to eat the roots or stem. Once you are done, directly circulate your cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal power."

After learning how to refine it,

Niu Gao did not say anything more. He walked directly to a quiet corner and sat down cross-legged.

At that moment,

Jin Feng watched Dugu Bo, Gu Yuena, Niu Gao, Niu Ben, the Fourth Elder, and the others undergoing transformation in different places.

Jin Feng sat down on the ground.

The Golden Horned Behemoth martial soul crouched before him, staring eagerly at the large pile of immortal-grade herbs scattered before Jin Feng and giving off enticing aromas.

Seeing this,

Jin Feng swiftly sorted the immortal herbs one by one. He kept all those that could be used and tossed every useless one into the Golden Horned Behemoth's mouth, allowing it to Devour them and transform them into genetic energy to strengthen itself.

As he sorted them, he muttered, "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, fire attribute... It is useless to the clan. Ma Hongjun is too poor to afford it, so it is suitable for Golden Horn to refine..."

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma can strengthen one's foundation and replenish one's origin. They can be given to the younger generation of the Defense Clan to absorb and enhance their talents..."

"Narcissus Jade Bone... Ink Jade Divine Bamboo... Primordial Immortal Herb... They are useless to the family. Devour them all."

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the finest of all flowers... It can protect the soul after being picked and block fatal killing moves. Keep it."

"Aromatic Silk Beauty can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... It seems somewhat wasteful for Golden Horn to Devour it. If... I sell it to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for over a hundred million Gold Soul Coins... that would be more suitable for purchasing large quantities of metal. Keep it for now. Let us see whether Ning Fengzhi recognizes its value and is willing to pay. If we cannot reach an agreement, then just Devour it!"

"As for this Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that can enhance spiritual power... once Grandpa and the others emerge from seclusion, I can absorb them to break through level 40."

"I'll have four rings soon!"

"I wonder what the exact effect of the innate secret technique, Enhancement, awakened after breaking through to four rings will be?"

"The mass of black energy in my mind."

"Could its purpose be what I think it is?"
