Lu Yuan began using the Great Bluffing Technique.
"Big Sister, ever since I awakened my Martial Soul... some images have flashed through my mind."
"I dreamed about them again last night while I was sleeping."
Gu Yuena asked curiously, "What kind of images?"
Lu Yuan frowned as though he were trying hard to recall them. "It seemed to be... a valley. There was a spring in the valley, hot on one side and cold on the other, with the two currents merging together."
"A lot of grass grew beside the spring... the kind that glowed. There were also many flowers with strange colors, all unlike anything I had ever seen before."
"At first, I thought I was muddleheaded and had seen it wrong, but that image had kept surfacing in my mind these past two days."
"Sister Na, do you think it might have something to do with my Martial Soul?"
The light in Gu Yuena's violet eyes flickered slightly.
"Are you certain that you dreamed of the place you described after awakening your Martial Soul?"
Lu Yuan nodded. "I'm sure. It was very brief, perhaps not even as long as a blink, but the image was especially clear. Steam rose from one side, cold air from the other, and all the grass by the water glowed..."
Gu Yuena fell silent.
Could it be some kind of treasure land?
Seeing that Gu Yuena had taken the bait, Lu Yuan continued, "Sister Na, that place was also covered in mist. It should be somewhere in a forest."
Mist?
Gu Yuena was even more puzzled, her little mind racing at full speed.
Xiao Yuan's Martial Soul had been formed from a certain fire-element Dragon King ancestor of the Dragon Clan after being cursed. Could this dream be guidance from that Dragon King ancestor?
Was the place indicated by the dream some treasure land of the Dragon Clan?
The more Gu Yuena thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
The Dragon God had truly blessed her!
She had encountered Xiao Yuan and even received guidance from a Dragon Clan ancestor!
But where could this forest be?
Gu Yuena stroked her delicate chin and fell into thought once more.
Although she could now wield the strength of a First-Level God, finding this forest on a tiny planet like Douluo Star would not be difficult. However, doing so could very likely draw the attention of the Divine Realm.
Those people in the Divine Realm were no decent lot. Once they detected her traces, they might come looking for her.
If she were captured, Xiao Yuan, the Dragon Clan, and the Soul Beasts would all be finished.
That's right!
Di Tian often used spatial power to travel across Douluo Star, so he should know quite a few places.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuena called out, "Di Tian!"
Whoosh!
In the next instant, a streak of light flashed.
Di Tian's tall, imposing figure appeared before Gu Yuena and Lu Yuan.
"My Lord, what are your orders?"
Gu Yuena recounted what had just happened. "Di Tian, do you know of any forest covered in mist like this?"
A forest covered in mist?
Di Tian frowned slightly as he pondered.
Could the place his lord was looking for be Sunset Forest?
The current Sunset Forest did fit his lord's description quite well.
He had visited Sunset Forest once several thousand years ago, intending to see whether this Soul Beast gathering place had any suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast young. Yet after arriving, he discovered that the forest was shrouded in miasma.
Never mind Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast young—even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were nowhere to be found. It had once been a gathering place for Soul Beasts, but now perhaps not even a Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be found there.
Aside from that, there was also Evil Demon Forest, which somewhat matched Lu Yuan's description.
Di Tian felt that perhaps their similar attributes were why he had dreamed of them.
"My Lord, I believe there are two places that are most likely. One is Sunset Forest, and the other is Evil Demon Forest!"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and asked, "Which one is closer?"
"Sunset Forest!"
"It lies in the north of Douluo Continent and is closest to Star Dou. Evil Demon Forest is over on Sun-Moon Continent, much farther away!"
Gu Yuena thought for a moment before saying, "In that case, we'll go take a look at Sunset Forest tomorrow!"
Di Tian hesitated. "My Lord, are you... truly going? Why not leave it to me? I'm afraid that you..."
Gu Yuena shook her head. "It's fine. As long as I don't use divine power on a large scale, those people in the Divine Realm will not discover me!"
"All right."
Di Tian answered.
Gu Yuena looked at Lu Yuan and said gently, "Xiao Yuan, go back and get some proper rest first. Tomorrow, we'll carefully search for the place from your dream!"
Lu Yuan nodded. "All right! Thank you, Big Sister!"
Gu Yuena smiled faintly.
Guidance from a Dragon Clan ancestor!
Better to believe it exists than believe it does not!
What sort of treasure land could it be?
Glowing flowers and grass? Could they be Immortal Herbs?
The next day.
Lu Yuan finished meditating, opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.
Gu Yuena and Di Tian appeared beside him.
Gu Yuena asked softly, "Xiao Yuan, are you done meditating?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Then let's set off!"
Di Tian casually stretched out a hand and lightly sliced a fissure through the air.
In an instant, space was torn open.
Di Tian walked in front, while Gu Yuena held Lu Yuan's hand and followed behind.
The next moment, the three vanished and appeared above a forest.
Looking down at Sunset Forest, Gu Yuena saw that it appeared very peaceful. A faint layer of mist seemed to drift through the woods.
From afar, it even looked as though a cloud had descended into the forest, obscuring even the vegetation.
And this cloud was not merely white; it contained many colors.
"Xiao Yuan, is this the place?"
Lu Yuan said, "It looks a little similar? Why don't we search carefully?"
Gu Yuena closed her eyes and released her divine sense, sweeping it across the entirety of Sunset Forest.
Something was wrong!
Wasn't this place supposed to be a Soul Beast habitat?
Why were there so few Soul Beast auras? And they were all merely ordinary Ten-Year Soul Beasts!
There had to be a major problem!
Gu Yuena's divine sense continued to probe deeper.
Hm? Why were there so many Jade-Scale Seven-Absolute Flowers in this valley?
Could Sunset Forest have turned into this hellish state because of the poison released by the Jade-Scale Seven-Absolute Flowers?
And this valley...
Seven-Colored Poison Miasma, Jade-Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers, Jade-Phosphorus Poison Cloud, highly toxic vines on the valley walls—every single one was lethal poison!
A place surrounded by so many deadly poisons could not possibly be ordinary!
Gu Yuena opened her eyes, a sharp gleam flashing through her beautiful violet pupils.
"Come, let's go inside and take a look!"
She used divine power to envelop Di Tian and Lu Yuan, passing directly through the poison-miasma-filled forest and arriving in the valley in an instant.
At once, fresh air unlike anything outside—unprecedented and brimming with the aura of life—rushed toward them.
The three looked ahead and saw an incomparably beautiful valley. At its very center lay an astonishing pool.
It was split distinctly in two, one half milky white and the other crimson red, sending up billowing clouds of steam.
"This... this is?"
Di Tian's body trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the sight before him.
A familiar feeling surged into his heart.
Gu Yuena felt the same!
This seemed to be the aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings!
Hahaha!
The Dragon God had blessed them! The Dragon God had blessed them!
Xiao Yuan truly was her lucky star!
He had actually led them to the resting place of two Dragon Kings!
