Uchiha Huan flew straight above the valley and looked down.
At the very center of the valley lay a pool of red and blue water, slowly rotating like a taiji diagram.
This had to be Douluo Continent's most famous sightseeing spot, the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.
Uchiha Huan landed in the valley. At that very moment, several powerful waves of Mental Power swept over and enveloped him.
Of the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin-Yang Well ten thousand years later, six had developed sentience.
"Human, are you from the Tang Clan?" a girl's voice called out.
Uchiha Huan looked over and saw a large flower, purple-red all over, its stamen blooming like violet crystal. Its entire body exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
This should be the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and she was also the leader of the Six Great Icefire Beast Kings.
This place had also become Tang Buddha Lord's private property. However, they possessed only their realms, not the corresponding strength. Their Mental Power was merely comparable to that of Beast Kings.
Uchiha Huan shook his head. "I'm not."
"Then die!"
Qiluo suddenly unleashed her formidable Mental Power, fiercely shrouding Uchiha Huan.
But Uchiha Huan was completely unaffected. He strode directly before Qiluo, reached out, and yanked her out by the roots.
"Ahhh... Put me down..."
Uchiha Huan squeezed hard, kneaded the entire flower and its stamen into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth.
At the same time, a scarlet Spirit Ring, a secret manual, and a purple-red left arm Soul Bone fell to the ground.
Uchiha Huan glanced at the Spirit Ring, feeling somewhat regretful. He could not absorb it.
He then picked up the secret manual, Mysterious Heaven Skill. It also contained the Hundred Remedies for Medicine and Poison.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, king of flowers. Consuming it granted immunity to a hundred poisons, strengthened one's foundation, and nourished one's vitality. Its medicinal properties were the gentlest of all.
Uchiha Huan felt the origin of his Sharingan grow somewhat stronger, but felt nothing else. This Immortal Herb's effects were too mild, the slow-and-steady kind.
At this moment, the remaining five Immortal Herb Beast Kings in the Icefire Mandarin Duck Pot were all trembling.
Uchiha Huan's gaze swept across those sentient Immortal Herbs.
Soon, his eyes settled on the Immortal Herb Autumn-Seeing Water.
Autumn Water was also one of the six sentient Immortal Herb Beast Kings.
Uchiha Huan strolled over to Autumn Water.
Autumn Water looked like an utterly ordinary medicinal herb, but as Uchiha Huan approached, she curled up, her leaves drawing tightly together.
"Give me the dew."
"Can you not hurt me?" Autumn Water asked in a trembling voice, like a terrified little girl.
"I want the dew."
Autumn Water extended a leaf and condensed a drop of dew upon it.
Uchiha Huan looked at the height of the leaf and could only lie directly beneath it. "Drip it onto my eyes."
"This is the essence I condensed from a hundred thousand years of cultivation."
Although she had existed for only ten thousand years, the Icefire Mandarin Duck Pot could accelerate plant growth tenfold. Thus, most of the Immortal Herbs here possessed over a hundred thousand years of cultivation.
"If I pull you out, you'll have nothing left."
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew dripped the dewdrop onto Uchiha Huan's eyes.
Uchiha Huan immediately felt the origin of his eyes surge upward by a huge margin. The origin of his right eye, in particular, had reached its bottleneck.
Uchiha Huan sensed that as long as his right eye absorbed one more suitable Soul Beast Spirit Ring, it could evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan level.
The cooldown of his left Eye of Time was cut in half. Its original one-year cooldown had now been reduced to only half a year.
The cooldown of his right Eye of Space was likewise halved. It could now be used once every half month.
After producing the essence of the dew, Autumn Water became weak and listless, her leaves curling up and drooping.
Uchiha Huan had never felt better.
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum! Taking it.
Nine Netherworlds Ghost Grass, taking it.
Primordial Unity Immortal Herb, taking it.
Earth Dragon Golden Melon, taking it.
Uchiha Huan looted more than a dozen Immortal Herbs in succession before finally arriving before Momo, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, one of the six Immortal Herb Beast Kings.
"Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to me? I can preserve your sentience and take you to godhood. I swear upon my Martial Soul."
Momo was extremely terrified. He clearly did not want to sacrifice himself.
But Uchiha Huan's habit of slapping people the moment they disagreed made him even more frightened.
Uchiha Huan immediately activated Sage Mode, and natural energy instantly spread outward.
"Divine Power! This is Divine Power like that person's!"
All the Immortal Herb Beast Kings grew excited. Momo was even more excited, his bamboo branches swaying continuously.
"I'm willing, I'm willing to sacrifice myself to you..."
"I'm willing too."
"I'm willing too."
For the time being, Uchiha Huan was interested only in the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.
The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo could greatly increase the strength of Wood Release.
Naturally, it also possessed the vigorous life force shared by most plant-type Soul Beasts.
Uchiha Huan had no need for the other Immortal Herb Beast Kings for now.
After all, if he improved too much at once, his Soul Power would become unstable again, and he would need to spend even more time refining it.
Uchiha Huan summoned his second Martial Soul, the Wood Release Divine Tree. "Come. You can begin the sacrifice."
As though afraid the other Beast Kings would snatch the opportunity, Momo immediately began the sacrifice.
Momo's entire body radiated red light, which enveloped Uchiha Huan.
"Master, what part would you like the Soul Bone to be from?"
"A torso bone."
"Yes, Master."
The sacrifice lasted three hours. Uchiha Huan felt his life force increase drastically once again, while his physique was further strengthened.
His current physique was at least at the level of a Soul Sage.
However, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo had granted him only one soul skill: Overlord Form!
It could grant himself or an ally Overlord Form, increasing all attributes by 30% and making them immune to all control effects. The effect increased by 10% for every Spirit Ring added to the Wood Release Martial Soul.
Uchiha Huan assessed his current Soul Power. Ten thousand years ago, after absorbing Crimson Shadow's Spirit Ring, his Soul Power had reached level 31. After absorbing Momo's Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, it had risen to level 34. Then, after fusing with Momo's torso Soul Bone, it reached level 35. His Soul Power had become somewhat unstable again.
He wondered whether, ten thousand years later, there was a way to quickly refine Soul Power.
Uchiha Huan glanced at the remaining Immortal Herb Beast Kings.
"I'm leaving. I may need you to sacrifice yourselves in the future."
Of course, Uchiha Huan did not mean that they would sacrifice themselves to him. After all, he had no use for the attributes of these Immortal Herb Beast Kings.
"When will you come again?"
"You need to come back soon."
"It probably won't be too long."
Uchiha Huan soared into the air and shot away like a streak of light.
However, his Soul Power was still too low. He had to land halfway through the journey, and he still had not even left Sunset Forest.
Along the way, he saw nothing but Soul Beast bones. All of it was the work of the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower. Tang Buddha Lord truly lacked virtue.
It took Uchiha Huan three days to finally leave Sunset Forest.
The air outside was fresh and free. Uchiha Huan felt that if he remained in Sunset Forest any longer, he would turn into a little green man.
East, south, west, north—he would go wherever he chose... As for which direction was east, who cared?
Uchiha Huan closed his eyes and spun in circles. His first choice was somewhat disappointing, as he chose the way back.
He had no desire to return to Sunset Forest.
He chose again, closing his eyes and spinning in circles once more.
Fortunately, he finally picked a direction this time.
Hopefully, he would encounter civilization soon. He desperately needed a place where he could take a bath.
Yet he found no one after one day, none after ten days, and still none after twenty days...
Eh? Why had another forest appeared? With such dense heaven-and-earth Soul Power, could this be another Soul Hunting Forest?
