Omnipotent Cell Mutation, Elemental Cell Transformation

Wait—

Xu Tiance suddenly thought of something.

His Sun-Moon Radiance Martial Soul possessed two attributes, Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire. Those clearly belonged to the sun in Sun-Moon Radiance. So what about the moon?

Could it be... that the moon in Sun-Moon Radiance possessed not only spatial and mental attributes, but Ultimate Ice as well?

But Kong Deming and Du Busi had both sensed his Martial Soul. If it truly contained Ultimate Ice, there was no reason they would have missed it.

Unless... Ultimate Ice had been concealed by Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire, or perhaps locked away. And the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal was the key to that lock!

Which meant... he could take the Blazing Gel, the essence of the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal, the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, at the same time?

Taking the Blazing Gel and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal would have the same effect as taking those two Immortal Herbs. Then... after taking both, could he enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body?

After hearing Xu Tiance's theory, Kong Deming narrowed his eyes slightly, as though weighing whether it would work. Du Busi was more direct. He unleashed his oppressive aura and threatened them.

"The Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—tell me, will Tiance's idea work? Give me a definite answer, not some vague reply. If anything happens to Tiance, forget this herb garden. I'll raze the entire valley!"

"In theory, it could work... The Blazing Gel and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal don't contain fire poison or cold poison, so those can't counteract each other. But the clash between Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice should work much the same way. The only problem is his age. If he were older, his chances of success would rise sharply. Right now... we can't guarantee it. What we can guarantee is that even if he can't withstand the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he'll hold out long enough for you to pull him out."

The Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass answered almost simultaneously, and their answers were much the same.

Xu Tiance drew a deep breath. "Teachers, let me try."

At his words, Kong Deming and Du Busi exchanged a glance. Both could see the resolve in Xu Tiance's eyes.

"If that's how you feel... then give it a try, Tiance."

With his safety assured, they had no reason to stop him.

Using the Mechanical Arm Soul Tool to hold the Blazing Gel and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal, Xu Tiance slowly walked to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Swallowing the Blazing Gel on its own would be too much for him, even with his Ultimate Fire attribute. So Xu Tiance first placed the crystal-clear Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal in his mouth. Only then did he bite off the Blazing Gel, which was half the size of a fist, and swallow it.

In an instant, Xu Tiance felt the jarring sensation of ice and fire at once, and his expression shifted slightly.

Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Tiance plunged headfirst into the place where the two waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well met.

The water swallowed Xu Tiance's entire body. In an instant, he slipped into a state halfway between consciousness and oblivion. Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire rampaged through him almost immediately. Yet, as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well helped them balance each other, their potent energies truly began to seep into his body, just as he had hoped.

Xu Tiance's Sun-Moon Radiance Martial Soul manifested almost beyond his control. On the surface of the well, a crimson sun and a Full Moon appeared in reflection.

The sun and moon seemed to intertwine more tightly without a sound, while the cool moonlight gradually took on a deeper, more piercing chill.

At the same time, the cells in Xu Tiance's body began dividing at breakneck speed, as though stimulated by the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They divided far faster than they had when he first took Whale Rubber.

Yet this anomaly did not frighten Xu Tiance.

He even felt that something about his body had changed.

Most of the cells in the human body had already settled into fixed types. Muscle, nerve, immune, epithelial, and other cells came together to form a complete body. The functions of ordinary adult somatic cells were locked in place. Each could only do its own job, never another cell's.

But now, the cells in Xu Tiance's body seemed to have awakened their innate, all-purpose potential, forcibly tearing through the body's biological shackles.

At that moment, the membranes and organelles of every cell in Xu Tiance's body seemed to undergo a wondrous change as the well's waters, the Ultimate Fire of the Blazing Gel, and the Ultimate Ice of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal washed over them.

It was as though every cell in his body was being transformed by the scorching heat and bitter cold of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

In other words... Elemental Cell Transformation!

But Xu Tiance had already fallen unconscious. He had no idea how profoundly his body had changed.

"It's been so long... Why hasn't there been any sign of Tiance?"

Du Busi paced back and forth along the bank of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his anxiety plain on his face. Kong Deming, by contrast, appeared much calmer.

He was worried too, but his spiritual senses told him Tiance was in no danger. He was still absorbing the herbs' power and tempering his body.

If Kong Deming had been unable to sense Xu Tiance's condition, he might have been even more anxious than Du Busi.

Ye Guyi did not possess senses that keen. She had no idea what was happening. Her beautiful eyes stayed fixed on the still water, worry creeping into her gaze.

The three of them waited for an entire week.

A faint ripple finally spread across the once-still surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Then Xu Tiance emerged from beneath the water, unmistakable delight on his face.

Seeing Xu Tiance safe and sound, Du Busi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, he had nearly tormented the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to death. "You brat, you nearly scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you! If you hadn't woken up soon, Kong Deming and I were going to find a way to fish you out of there!"
