Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters, Yu Yuanzhen's Opportunity

As the transparent droplet was consumed by Yu Hengqing, the Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters, which had been vibrant just a moment ago, instantly withered.

With a slight exertion of force from the Ice Dragon King, the Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters crumbled into dust, returning to the embrace of Mother Earth.

The moment the droplet was swallowed, Yu Hengqing felt waves of coolness rush straight to his brain; with each surge, his senses grew sharper.

Previously, Yu Hengqing could only detect auras within a range of two hundred meters on his own, but now, he could perceive them within five hundred meters.

At this moment, changes were also occurring within Yu Hengqing's spiritual space.

The entire spiritual space was continuously expanding, and the sea of spirit, which had previously only reached his ankles, rose to his calves.

I am only one step away from the minimum standard for condensing a Soul Core as described by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Sensing the changes in Yu Hengqing's spiritual space, Leiyi felt genuinely happy for him.

Before Yu Hengqing could fully recover, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings cast their respective Dragon Pearls back into the pool water, utilizing the power of the spring to transform the pearls into their own divine artifacts.

"Zhantian, we are about to initiate our reincarnation process, and we will be unable to wake up until we succeed. Therefore, I hope you take care of yourself; after all, the revival of the Dragon Clan is a long and arduous journey, and we still need you."

The Ice Dragon King understood that Yu Zhantian lacked this more refined method of reincarnation and could only rely on time to forcibly heal his wounds.

However, this method was the slowest, and the injuries sustained from that battle were not easily recovered from; one slight misstep could lead to total annihilation.

"I understand, and I have my own plans as well."

As he spoke, Yu Zhantian glanced at Yu Hengqing, who was still digesting the Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters.

"This kid has great potential; I believe you will surely succeed."

After offering these words of blessing, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings merged into the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, respectively.

The moment the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings merged, streams of heaven and earth energy surged toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In the blink of an eye, the concentration of heaven and earth energy in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well doubled, and this increase showed no signs of stopping.

It was not until Yu Hengqing finished his dinner that the concentration of heaven and earth energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well finally stabilized.

"The concentration of heaven and earth energy has increased fivefold compared to before. Dugu Bo will definitely be suspicious when he returns."

Looking at the faintly glowing Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, Yu Hengqing could only offer a helpless remark.

At noon the following day, Dugu Bo returned.

As soon as Dugu Bo stepped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he immediately sensed that something was amiss, just as Yu Hengqing had expected.

A gaze filled with scrutiny fell upon Yu Hengqing. Dugu Bo did not speak; he simply watched for a long while before withdrawing his gaze.

Having dealt with Yu Hengqing for so long, Dugu Bo knew this kid was incredibly strange and always managed to stir up trouble.

Dugu Bo was already relieved that the boy hadn't destroyed his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Kid, I went back and have preliminarily identified the reason for the dissipation of the toxins. The toxins were dissipating because the accumulated poisons within my body were actively attracting new ones."

"If I want to continue cultivating, I must use my soul power to encapsulate the toxins to isolate them from the attraction of the poisons within my body."

"However, if I truly do that, I must be able to multitask or even triple-task, so the Poison Core Method must be suspended for a period of time."

Looking at the regretful Dugu Bo, Yu Hengqing could not think of any words of comfort, so he simply said, "It's fine, there is still enough time. Believe in yourself."

"Hmm, even if I cannot achieve it, it would be quite good to provide a trial for Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo accepted this quickly. Ever since his son died due to the toxins, Dugu Bo had poured all his heart and soul into Dugu Yan and finding a cure.

Now that the toxins in Dugu Yan's body were under control and there was progress on the antidote, Dugu Bo was quite satisfied.

"Alright, you have been away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for so long; it is time for me to take you back."

Soon, Dugu Bo took Yu Hengqing and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, Dugu Bo left in such a hurry that he didn't even notice that a few medicinal herbs were missing from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Father, long time no see!"

After Dugu Bo brought Yu Hengqing to Yu Yuanzhen's study, he immediately turned and left. He did not want to disturb the reunion between father and son, and besides, Yan Yan missed him.

"You've returned safely, and your level has broken through to twenty-two. Not bad! Not bad!"

Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Hengqing's shoulder with a gratified expression; he had already heard about Yu Hengqing's recent experiences from Yu Hezai.

However, before Yu Yuanzhen could say much more, Yu Zhantian impatiently emerged from the pearl.

"Are you the ancestor of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Zhantian?"

Looking at the Yu Zhantian who had suddenly appeared before him, Yu Hengqing asked the ancestor, who looked like white smoke, with some caution.

"The one and only!"

"The current head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan pays respects to Ancestor Yu Zhantian!"

Yu Yuanzhen did not use his title as the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, because, in the end, the sect belonged to the clan, but it was not synonymous with the clan itself.

"Rise. I have only one reason for seeking you out today: I hope that with my assistance, you can greatly increase your strength and thereby elevate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to become the number one clan in the world."

Yu Zhantian's tone was casual yet laced with firmness, as if helping Yu Yuanzhen, a ninety-fifth-level Title Douluo, increase his strength were a simple matter.

Hearing that Yu Zhantian could improve his strength, Yu Yuanzhen became somewhat excited.

Level ninety-five was a threshold for Title Douluos, and Yu Yuanzhen had lingered there for a long time, unable to find a way to break through.

With a powerful ancestor now offering his help, how could Yu Yuanzhen not be thrilled?

"Thank you, Ancestor, for your grace. This junior will certainly not fail your expectations!"

Though his heart was brimming with excitement, Yu Yuanzhen did not lose his sense of propriety, bowing deeply and respectfully toward Yu Zhantian.

"Hm. In that case, come with me to the back mountain. Oh, and little Hengqing must come along as well."

As he spoke, Yu Zhantian removed the bead from Yu Hengqing's waist and guided it to float toward the mysterious back mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Yu Hengqing, who had originally intended to retreat, was forced to follow in the footsteps of Yu Zhantian and Yu Yuanzhen.

Watching Yu Zhantian float before him, Yu Yuanzhen asked a question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

"Ancestor Yu Zhantian, dare I ask if the Sect Master Trial in the back mountain was also set by you?"

Regarding this Sect Master Trial, Yu Yuanzhen still felt a sense of regret and lingering resentment; he had been so close to succeeding back then.

"The Sect Master Trial? I have no memory of that. It must have been set by my true self later on. However, if even you could not pass it, that proves this Sect Master Trial is not as simple as merely testing a sect master."

"I fear my true self intended to select a successor with the potential to become a god, to fulfill the wish I left unfinished."

Hearing the keyword "unfinished wish," alarm bells rang in Yu Hengqing's mind; this sounded like nothing good.

Looking at his father's sudden expression of realization, Yu Hengqing recalled how Yu Yuanzhen had previously dropped hints, asking if he would be willing to participate in a trial.

At the time, Yu Hengqing had assumed it was just some sect trial and told Yu Yuanzhen that he would definitely go take a look whenever he had the time.

It seemed now that his father had failed to clear the trial back then and had pinned his hopes of completion onto him.

"Dare I ask, Ancestor, with your strength, why do you still need us lowly juniors to fulfill your unfinished wish?"
