Sky-screen timeline...

Bibi Dong no longer dared to make a fuss. She obediently stood beside Nan Huai'an and hugged his thigh, ready to take off.

Nan Huai'an looked down. He had almost forgotten that Dugu Bo was not yet a Titled Douluo. Neither of the two could fly.

By the time they arrived, the daylilies would have gone cold.

With a thought, a dark red sword shadow appeared, gradually solidifying as it floated above Dugu Bo's head.

"Dugu Bo, take your son and jump on. We're leaving immediately!"

Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Xin and jumped onto the sword shadow. "Sorry for the trouble."

With a slight movement of Nan Huai'an's fingers, the sword shadow and the Heaven-Burying Sword began flying toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Their breakneck speed made Dugu Xin cling tightly to Dugu Bo's thigh. He nearly fell off.

"Father, I'm feeling a little dizzy!"

Dugu Xin could not open his eyes at all.

"What the hell are you scared of? With your dad here, you won't die!"

Dugu Bo spoke irritably.

This little bit of speed scared him?

After flying for some time, the four landed in the Sunset Forest. Dugu Xin saw stars and swayed unsteadily.

Nan Huai'an put away the Heaven-Burying Sword and the sword shadow. "Follow me. Don't fall behind."

Then Bai Guyue walked ahead.

Original timeline...

"We're about to find out just what kind of herb is so mysterious that it can neutralize the Jade Phosphorus Snake's poison."

"Brother Nan is flawless. Let's just watch."

Many viewers were eagerly waiting.

Sunset Forest

"Grandpa, have you noticed? Why does the route Nan Huai'an is taking look so much like the route we took to get here?"

Dugu Yan noticed something was wrong.

"It doesn't just look similar. It's the very route we took. Still, it should just be a coincidence. There are two more forks up ahead."

Despite saying that, Dugu Bo was uncertain himself. He kept feeling that things were not so simple.

Nan Huai'an, I'm begging you. Don't come here!

Sky-screen timeline...

After traveling some distance, the four entered the depths of the valley.

Bibi Dong was nervous and on guard. "Teacher, there won't be some Soul Beast suddenly popping out in here, will there?"

Seeing how nervous Bibi Dong was, Nan Huai'an smiled. "Don't worry, there won't be. Besides, even if one appeared, you wouldn't be any use."

Bibi Dong froze, then pouted. "Teacher, you're such a big meanie."

After walking through the valley for a while.

Nan Huai'an pointed ahead. "We're here."

The four stopped and looked down. The sight within the valley astonished them.

Mist swirled around, and a peculiar pool appeared in the center of their view.

Miraculously, a clear boundary divided the pool in two, its left and right sides entirely different.

One half of the pool was a piercing white, giving off a bone-chilling cold, while the other half was scarlet throughout, constantly sending warm currents of air rising.

The two forces of heat and cold stood in opposition without mingling, constantly colliding and intertwining above the pool's surface, producing layers of white mist that drifted slowly through the valley.

"What a peculiar place!" Dugu Bo was astonished. Even more incredibly, the Jade Phosphorus Snake poison within his body had been alleviated.

Bibi Dong's eyes shone. "Teacher, since we discovered it first, it's ours, right?"

"Of course." Nan Huai'an nodded.

Bibi Dong immediately ran to the edge of the pool and chuckled smugly. "I declare that this place is mine! It's now my territory, Bibi Dong's territory!"

Nan Huai'an covered his forehead.

Original timeline...

The viewers erupted into an uproar.

"Heavens, what kind of treasure land is this? It has such beautiful scenery, and you can feel its tremendous power with just one look."

"There's more than one herb here. Could Brother Nan actually recognize all of them?"

One viewer who frequently dealt with medicinal herbs said:

"My family often trades in medicinal herbs, and the herbs on the sky-screen are anything but ordinary. You can't judge them as mere medicinal herbs at all. Their value is practically immeasurable, too. I don't recognize even a single one."

At that, everyone grew even more curious. Just what were these herbs?

Shrek Academy

"This... this place is incredible. I've never seen anything like it."

Ning Rongrong marveled endlessly.

She had never seen immortal herbs like these.

She had seen quite a few places herself, but this was her first time seeing somewhere like this.

Oscar rubbed his eyes. "I'm not dreaming, am I? Does a place like this really exist on the continent?"

Yu Xiaogang also looked shocked. He did not recognize these immortal herbs at all.

Tang San was undoubtedly the most excited. These immortal herbs were all things recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which could improve his Purple Demon Eye.

These immortal herbs suited his needs perfectly.

Now that they had been exposed on the sky-screen, the major factions would surely fight over them like mad. He would not have the slightest chance of obtaining them.

No, there's still a chance!

He did not believe Nan Huai'an recognized all of them. Perhaps he only recognized the one herb that could neutralize the poison.

As long as he went there when the time came and explained these immortal herbs to those factions, he would surely be able to obtain immortal herbs himself.

Elder Hall

"These... these are actually immortal herbs!"

"And there's even a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"

Yue Guan was so excited that he could not speak, yet his body already yearned to rush there immediately.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum! The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

As long as he obtained the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, he would definitely be able to break through his bottleneck and reach a higher realm.

"Yue Guan, are these the immortal herbs recorded in that book of yours?" Gui Mei asked in surprise.

"That's right," Yue Guan said. "Old Ghost, I told you I wasn't lying to you. Let's go see His Holiness the Pope right now. Then we can each have one and reach rank ninety-six."

"Rank ninety-six? These immortal herbs are that powerful?" Gui Mei asked in surprise.

"Of course! Don't underestimate them. Let's hurry!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei rushed toward the Pope's Palace.

Pope's Palace

"What a miraculous place."

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with disbelief.

There was such a treasure land in the Sunset Forest, yet no one had ever discovered it.

Then this place will belong to my Spirit Hall.

The other factions under heaven can forget about laying a finger on it.

Nan Huai'an, you've really done me a tremendous favor. If you really can return from that other spacetime, I'll be sure to thank you properly.

"Teacher, look, this is all thanks to Nan Huai'an. Why don't you call him Teacher?" Hu Liena piped up with another suggestion.

Veins bulged on Bibi Dong's forehead. "Nana, don't force me to act. The me in that other spacetime has already taken Nan Huai'an as her teacher."

An idea flashed through Hu Liena's mind, and she smiled.

"Teacher, that spacetime can represent this spacetime too. When the time comes, Teacher, you can call me your master's wife."

Bibi Dong's eyes spat fire. "Nana!"

The little fox tucked her tail between her legs. "Teacher, don't spank me."

Sunset Forest

Dugu Bo watched the scene on the sky-screen, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"I really have to thank you, Nan Huai'an. I really do have to thank you."

It's over. My treasure land has been discovered. It's all over.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, who had become indifferent to life and death.
