Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 231 Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow
"So this is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Yuhao. Did you get all those immortal herbs from here before that you gave us to absorb?"

The outer area of ​​the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Meng Hongchen looked left and right with a curious expression.

Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen were so shocked that they could only barely maintain their composure.

They had never seen such a treasure before, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that such a place existed in the world.

No wonder Yuhao was able to produce so many immortal herbs, and his strength improved so quickly in the previous period. It would be strange if his strength improved slowly in a place like this.

After the disappearance of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus and the nurturing of the Gold of Life, Sunset Forest has begun to slowly recover from its previous lifeless state.

Although there are no ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the forest, many hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts have been migrated from other places, and the plants have begun to recover. Although it is not as good as the Star Dou Great Forest, it has far surpassed the previous chaotic situation.

Given more time, it's only a matter of time before this forest recovers to its former level, or even surpasses it.

As for the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, just as mentioned before, even though the energy of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings dissipated, the energy density here did not decrease due to the blessing of the Douluo Plane. In fact, it became even denser without those immortal herbs.

The immortal herbs that were taken away earlier, and the seeds of those herbs that were left behind, have now sprouted many new shoots thanks to the tenfold growth acceleration of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Moreover, with the enhancement of the plane, not only soul masters benefit, but also plants and soul beasts. It is likely that in a thousand years, or even a hundred years, everything here will far surpass what it was before.

Huo Yuhao led the group to a spot not far from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring and replied.

"Yes, those immortal herbs did indeed come from here, and this place is one of the world's three great treasure basins. I think you all felt it; the energy concentration here is several times that outside."

“Cultivating here provides access to all kinds of elemental energies, surpassing most simulated cultivation sites, which can greatly enhance your cultivation speed.”

"So for the next period of time, you will all be in seclusion here, trying your best to raise your strength to level 80. Then I can plan your eighth spirit ring so that you can grow up in the shortest possible time."

Although Dragon Valley has opportunities like Dragon Cloud and Dragon Soul, it is not suitable for Meng Hongchen and his group, or rather, it is not as suitable as Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Meng Hongchen's main attributes are ice, poison, and fire. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is dominated by ice, fire, and poison attributes, making it a perfect simulated training ground for her.

The Thousand Refined Golden Essence Vine can grow to the level of a celestial herb here, which is naturally extremely suitable for a metal-attribute soul master like Xiao Hongchen. However, Ji Juechen's path is different from theirs; he focuses on comprehension and improves his own fundamental nature.

In less than a year, all three of them could grow to the level of a Contra Master.

Meng Hongchen understood the implication in Huo Yuhao's words and quickly asked.

"Yuhao, aren't you cultivating here?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"I have some things to do next, but I think it will take at most a few months. I will come back to check on your cultivation results then."

This time, he plans to go to the Earth Dragon Gate first to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, which will enhance the age and strength of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, and also increase his own foundation. He will then leave some behind to help Meng Hongchen.

Then head to Dragon Valley to help Gu Yuena absorb those dragon souls, while obtaining the torso bone belonging to the Mountain Dragon King, the super artifact Dragon God's Heart, and the Dragon Valley mini-plane.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is suitable for Meng Hongchen and his group, but it is useless to him. Therefore, there is no reason for him to waste time here.

"Yuhao, can I come with you?"

The speaker was Yu Qiu'er. She possessed Soul Saint strength when she transformed into human form, and with Huo Yuhao's help, even without absorbing a Soul Ring, her strength was just shy of reaching Soul Douluo level.

"Okay, but you need to do as I say from now on, understand?"

"Good!"

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen didn't say anything more. She clearly understood that Yuhao must have his own plans.

The reason Huo Yuhao brought Yu Qiu'er along this time was that he planned to have her enter Dragon Valley with him.

No matter what, the Heart of the Dragon God is a super artifact. It would be difficult for Gu Yuena, who has the bloodline and divine status of a dragon god, to gain its approval.

Yu Qiu'er possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline, which is a secondary evolution of the Golden Dragon King bloodline. Combined with the Golden Dragon Spear, it's possible that it could play a crucial role in the future.

"Oh, right." Huo Yuhao said to Meng Hongchen one last time, "I will leave some Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers and teach you the secret technique of spiritual absorption. These poisonous herbs can help you enhance the poison attribute of your martial soul."

"Also, you must not approach the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire. Even with your current strength, it will still threaten your lives."

Meng Hongchen and the other two nodded solemnly.

Although this place is not suitable for learning soul tools, given their level, it wouldn't hurt to put it aside for the time being.

This place is so suitable for cultivation. As long as I raise my soul power level, raising my soul tool level will be a very simple matter.

Ji Juechen, unusually, began to speak at this moment.

"Yuhao, is this place suitable as the headquarters for establishing a force?"

After all, the energy here is extremely concentrated, and because of the remnants of those immortal herbs, this place is naturally suitable for soul masters of all attributes to cultivate.

"maybe."

Huo Yuhao gave a vague answer, after all, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was too remote, and it was too early to talk about establishing a headquarters for the force.

“I think this place is quite nice. After the Sun Moon conquers the Douling Empire and unifies the continent, our Extreme Dao organization can be established here, just like Shrek Academy, naturally independent of the empire.”

Xiao Hongchen became interested and put his arm around Ji Juechen's shoulder to start a conversation with him.

Huo Yuhao stayed here for a few days, mainly leaving a few of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus for Meng Hongchen, and teaching the others the secret method of spiritual absorption, which would allow them to maximize their cultivation efficiency.

They chose the most suitable cultivation positions for each of them. Although the Spirit Absorption Secret Technique is a secret technique of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao doesn't care about that now, and he thinks his own teacher won't care either.

After settling things here, Huo Yuhao left with Yu Qiu'er and Gu Yuena, heading towards the Earth Dragon Gate.

Watching the three figures leave, Meng Hongchen gritted her teeth and resolved to work hard in her cultivation from now on.

Xiao Hongchen watched this scene with a smile in his eyes, muttering to himself.

"Meng, this isn't working either. Looks like I'll have to help you out next."

Northwest of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, lies Dragon City.

The territory of the Earth Dragon Gate is located in Dragon City, a military fortress in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The entire sect of the Earth Dragon Gate is built against the mountain, with the main buildings constructed of gray-white boulders and surrounded by defensive soul-guiding arrays, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Earth Dragon Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, now known as the Heavenly Dragon Sect, have stood side by side for a thousand years, maintaining a duopoly in Dragon City for millennia. However, this "side by side" relationship is largely a matter of Heavenly Dragon suppressing Earth Dragon due to differences in martial soul bloodline levels. The two sects have long been in competition, or rather, Heavenly Dragon Sect has consistently dominated Earth Dragon Sect.

The inherited martial soul of the Earth Dragon Sect is the Crimson Dragon, but this martial soul can only be awakened by direct bloodlines. Those who are not direct descendants can only inherit sub-dragon martial souls, resulting in a significant difference in combat power.

The Rouge Dragon Martial Soul possesses the annihilation attribute. Its martial soul has the decomposition property, which can destroy the opponent's soul power structure and even disintegrate energy defense. Therefore, this martial soul is also known as the attribute nemesis.

The current successor of the Earth Dragon Gate, also known as the sect leader, is named Nan Shuishui. He is an 82-level Soul Douluo with a Soul Ring configuration that is standard for Soul Masters on the continent. In the entire Dragon City, he can be considered a fairly average strongman.

With such strength, not to mention Huo Yuhao, even Meng Hongchen and the others could easily deal with them. I don't know how they can stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

However, Huo Yuhao did not intend to cause trouble for the Earth Dragon Gate. Not to mention that there was no conflict between the two sides, if the Heavenly Dragon Gate was alerted, although the two sides were in a standoff, they would definitely unite against an external enemy, and any unexpected twists and turns would definitely delay things.

There's no need to make yourself uncomfortable.

The secret treasure of the Earth Dragon Gate, also known as the sect's forbidden area, is located in a deep ice cave 300 meters underground from the old site of Dragon City. The entrance is sealed and guarded by an elder of the Rouge Dragon bloodline, and can only be opened by a direct descendant with the essence of their martial soul.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't care about any of this. He didn't care at all that it was only possible to activate the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul. He was joking, because all the dragon martial souls in the world had to submit to Gu Yuena's bloodline.

That mere Rouge Dragon is quite formidable; her Dragon God rank completely overwhelms everything.

As a forbidden area of ​​the sect, this place is naturally guarded year-round. It would take a lot of effort for an ordinary person to sneak here unnoticed, but for Huo Yuhao, that was simply not an issue.

The "Mirror Flower Water Moon" technique directly put the Earth Dragon Gate elder, who was secretly guarding this place, into a deep sleep. He would definitely not wake up for at least ten days or half a month. He then used simulation to lead Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er into this forbidden area.

The mental detection simulation quickly located an ancient well within the forbidden area, which was the entrance to the ice cave.

"Come on, let's go in."

Yu Qiu'er remained silent and obediently followed.

As for Gu Yuena, she knew what Huo Yuhao was going to do next. In fact, she felt there was no need to be so cautious. After all, if they were discovered, they could just deal with those humans directly.

However, this was Huo Yuhao's decision, and she supported it unconditionally. She had witnessed Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen acquiring soul beasts and soul spirits before.

In her view, Yuhao will inevitably change this era in the future, and he is already doing so.

All I need to do is stand unconditionally behind her and support her.

Although the ice cave was located 300 meters underground, it was not dark. When the three of them entered, they were all amazed by the magnificent blue space in front of them.

The entire ice cave was filled with dark blue ice crystals. The surface of these crystals shone with a cold light, causing the entire space to be filled with a cold mist. Among the group, Yu Qiu'er even needed to surround herself with soul power to resist the corrosive effect of the low temperature.

Inside the space, three stalactite-like crystals hang from the top of the ice cave, their interiors flowing with liquid silvery-white essence, which is the supreme ice-attribute treasure, the Myriad-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

As Huo Yuhao approached, he gently touched the stalactite-like crystals, which instantly emitted particle effects resembling ice explosions, causing frost patterns to form on the surrounding ground.

Intertwined with those icy divine crystals, it continuously releases a blue halo, making people feel as if they are in an icy blue energy field, and the extreme low temperature even distorts the surrounding space.

Envelop Yu Qiu'er in soul power; she might not be able to withstand it here.

Noticing Huo Yuhao's thoughtful and gentle actions, Yu Qiu'er couldn't help but smile slightly.

Gu Yuena noticed this out of the corner of her eye; her little dog didn't seem to be behaving very well.
As a forbidden area of ​​the Earth Dragon Gate, the fact that this place can be sealed off proves that the higher-ups of the Earth Dragon Gate know the value of these things, but cannot use them. This secret place is shrouded in cold mist all year round, and even ice attribute soul masters need to have a cultivation level of eight rings or above to resist the erosion of the low temperature.

The inherited martial soul of the Earth Dragon Gate is the Crimson Dragon, which has the annihilation attribute and has nothing to do with the ice attribute. Although we don't know what it was like in the past, the strongest one now is only a Soul Douluo. It can be said that they are holding a treasure mountain without realizing it.

But since the Earth Dragon Gate understands the value of these things, there must be a trap set here. In addition to the previous bloodline restriction, there is also an Annihilation Dragon Breath Array here. As long as you are not a direct disciple, if you break into this place, your soul power will be continuously decomposed until it is exhausted.

However, these are all minor issues, which Huo Yuhao could easily resolve with just his little finger.

After some exploration, it was discovered that there were a total of 47 original ice crystals here, as well as the three stalactite-like crystals that shimmered with blue and white light and contained ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice marrow.

The sea of ​​spirit.

Tianmeng had already gone mad, and even Xue Di and Bing Di almost lost control of their emotions.

"Hahaha, wow, wow, there really are so many ancient ice marrow here! I almost lost control!"

Having eaten and slept on the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow until it grew to the level of a million-year being, Tianmeng knew these Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows all too well.

While these things are not as good as what the far north absorbs itself, they are not far behind. The ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow in the far north is the accumulation of countless years and is an ecological-level ice marrow vein, so its total amount naturally far exceeds that of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Although the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow here is only three isolated crystals, its quality is high, and it doesn't require much effort to absorb and purify.

In essence, the difference between the two lies in the nature of natural mineral deposits versus the refined form of resources.

But some things can't be viewed that way. Only Tianmeng himself knows how much energy of the Mysterious Ice Marrow he wasted back then because he didn't understand it.

While it's uncertain whether these ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrows can create another million-year-old soul beast like myself, each marrow is definitely capable of helping an ice-attribute soul beast grow to the level of a ferocious beast.

The Snow Empress shared the same thought, as did the Ice Empress. If they had possessed these ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow back then, they wouldn't have had to worry about surviving the Heavenly Tribulation. Neither of them felt that four hundred thousand or seven hundred thousand years would be a problem.

But it's not too late now. They all know that these things were prepared for them by Yuhao.

Currently, the Snow Empress's lifespan is approximately 800,000 years, while the Ice Empress's is 600,000 years. With these 10,000-year-old profound ice marrow, they are confident that they can increase their strength to a million years based on their current abilities.

"Hmph, I get angry just thinking about how Tianmeng wasted so much Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in the Far North back then. Why can't I have such good luck!"

Tianmeng pouted, not daring to refute, but inwardly she thought, "That was just my incredible luck. Besides, I was caught in a panic and fell into the cave because I was preyed upon. I wasn't happy about it."

This time, without Tianmeng's guidance, Huo Yuhao directly injected his ultimate ice soul power into the crystal, and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal quickly softened and fell off, which he then put away.

However, it did not damage the source that gave birth to these Ice Extreme Crystals, nor did it damage the Mysterious Ice Marrow of Ten Thousand Years.

Natural treasures should be preserved to benefit future generations. Just as ice and fire are interdependent, the practice of draining the pond to catch all the fish is unacceptable.

The moment Huo Yuhao put away the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, the temperature of the entire ice cave began to rise rapidly.

"Yuhao." Yu Qiu'er was a little flustered.

However, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena remained calm.

"go!"
