Throughout his life, he practiced the faith of the Angel God and protected the peace and balance of the continent. Although he was the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall and his stance was biased towards humans, he also knew that spirit beasts were an indispensable part of this continent and that it was not a good thing to over-exacerbate the conflict.
At this moment, a trace of solemnity and responsibility flashed in his eyes. As the High Priest of the Angel God and one of the strongest figures on the continent, he could not simply stand aside.
"Just how large is this beast tide? Is it limited to wiping out humans within the forest, or will it expand further outwards, threatening villages and towns on the forest's edge?"
Qian Daoliu could not rest easy until he understood this thought.
In his view, the deaths and injuries of ordinary Soul Masters were the price of greed, but if innocent civilians were affected, then he could not stand idly by.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Daoliu made a decision instantly: he had to find out the truth for himself!
Therefore, Qian Daoliu said gently to Snow White, who had just finished a round of cultivation, "Your Highness, your teacher suddenly has some urgent matters to attend to and needs to go out for a few days. You can consolidate your cultivation on your own during these few days, but please do not be rash."
Although Snow White was a little puzzled as to why her teacher was suddenly leaving, she still nodded obediently: "Yes, teacher. Please take care."
Qian Daoliu nodded, his figure instantly blurring, as if merging into the light, and he disappeared from the spot.
He transformed into an invisible streak of light, heading straight for the Starry Sky Forest at an astonishing speed.
Qian Daoliu needs to personally confirm the movement and intentions of the beast tide and assess its potential threat to the human world, which is his duty as an angel god.
If the soul beasts really want to invade the human world, he will definitely have to take action to deal with them.
……
Qian Daoliu was extremely fast. As a level 99 Limit Douluo, his flight speed far exceeded the imagination of ordinary Soul Masters.
However, just as he was about to reach the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a special encrypted message from the Spirit Hall was transmitted to him through the advanced communication soul tool he carried.
The information comes from the Spirit Hall branch stationed in a city near the Star Dou Great Forest.
They have always been loyal to their duties, constantly monitoring the movements of the Starry Sky Forest.
The message was concise and clear: the massive beast tide had suddenly stopped about an hour ago.
As if receiving a unified command, all the spirit beasts quickly retreated into the depths of the forest, showing no sign of advancing towards human cities or villages.
The area around the forest has now returned to calm, with only a small number of surviving Soul Masters, still shaken, managing to escape.
Chapter 89 Magic Potion
Qian Daoliu hovered high in the sky, his immense spiritual power sweeping across the edge of the Starry Sky Forest below like a tidal wave.
The soaring malevolent aura and chaotic energy fluctuations in the Star Dou Great Forest have subsided, leaving only some lingering bloody stench and terrified Soul Masters.
His senses confirmed the accuracy of the Spirit Hall's information: the beast tide had receded completely, showing no intention of continuing its advance.
Qian Daoliu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mind relaxed. It seemed that the ruler in the Star Dou Great Forest only intended to expel and warn, and did not really want to start a great war that would affect ordinary people.
"Just a warning?" Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, a hint of understanding and guilt flashing in his eyes. This bloodbath ultimately stemmed from his unavoidable lie.
He stood on a cloud, looking down at the vast forest below, which was gradually returning to tranquility, yet seemed to have gained an invisible barrier. He remained silent for a moment.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, there is no need for him to venture deeper into the forest to question anything further.
The strong have their own rules. This time, it was the human who crossed the line first, and the other party retaliated and stopped when appropriate. If he insists on stepping in again, it may escalate the conflict.
"Never mind." Qian Daoliu sighed softly, turned around and transformed into a stream of light, silently returning to Tiandou City.
His feelings were somewhat complicated. He was relieved that the civilians were safe and sound, but he was also somewhat disturbed because he had indirectly caused the deaths of many soul masters.
But soon, he suppressed these emotions. At his level, he valued the overall balance and order of the mainland more.
When he returned to the palace, Snow White's training was not yet finished, and she was unaware of everything that had happened behind her teacher's brief trip.
The panic within Tiandou City began to subside slowly after it was confirmed that the beast tide had completely receded and there was no risk of it spreading further.
However, after this incident, no one dared to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest easily in the short term.
The fervent rumors about the "miracle herb" have become a thing of the past.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the beast tide had receded and its target was clear. At the same time, he became even more convinced that there was a terrifying king deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, and warned the sect's disciples to be more cautious in their future actions.
In the palace, Emperor Xueye's worries turned into subsequent appeasement and cleanup work.
The turmoil gradually subsided.
Inside the mimicry training room, Snow White finished her training for the day and was about to leave when she saw Teacher Liu standing quietly at the door waiting for her, with his usual gentle smile on his face.
"Teacher, aren't you going out?" Snow White asked softly.
"Yes, the matter has been taken care of." Qian Daoliu stepped forward, naturally sensed the state of her soul power, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Your Highness is making rapid progress and has laid a very solid foundation."
His gaze fell on the Ice Marrow Heart Necklace around Snow White's neck, feeling the steady flow of energy within it, a barely perceptible gentleness flashing in his eyes.
No matter how turbulent the outside world is, as long as his great-granddaughter is safe and sound, everything will be alright.
"Let's go, our training is over for today, let's relax. I heard that Rongrong got a new gadget, she asked you out this afternoon?" Qian Daoliu said with a smile, changing the subject.
Snow White nodded, completely unaware of the earth-shattering events happening in the outside world.
For now, her world consists only of cultivation, occasional tea parties, and her incredibly powerful yet gentle and patient teacher.
……
As time went by, the aftershocks of the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest gradually subsided, but the impact it brought was profound and lasting.
The Heaven Dou Empire government swiftly issued orders to strengthen monitoring and defense of all soul beast forests within its territory, especially those forests near important cities, which were designated as key alert areas.
The Sunset Forest, located near Heaven Dou City and once famous for producing high-quality spirit rings, naturally became a top priority.
The empire dispatched more patrols to guard the perimeter of the forest, strictly checking the identity and purpose of people entering and leaving, in order to prevent excessive hunting or provoking of soul beasts from happening again.
On this day, a blurry silver figure, as if blending into the breeze, silently crossed the patrol line of Sunset Forest.
It was Lin Wan.
His purpose for this trip was clear: not to hunt for soul rings, but to go to that treasure land occupied by the Godos, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
He intends to use the extreme environment and the power of Godor there to break through the level 40 bottleneck and further temper his physical body.
Lin Wan skillfully avoided any potential spies in the forest and quickly arrived at the valley protected by poison arrays and strange plants.
After being modified by Ge Duo, the defenses here are even more formidable and well-hidden. Unless one knows the path, it is almost impossible for someone below the rank of Title Douluo to sneak in unnoticed.
Lin Wan passed through layers of illusions, and suddenly the view opened up before her. The red and blue spring water flowed clearly like a Tai Chi symbol, radiating two terrifying energies that were extremely cold and extremely hot.
Around the spring, the medicinal herbs that were originally growing haphazardly are now neatly arranged, each one exuding vigorous vitality and astonishing energy fluctuations, clearly having received excellent care and cultivation.
In the center of the valley, a small and exquisite wooden house was built. In front of the house were various vessels made of crystal and jade, which contained liquids or powders of different colors and emitted a strange medicinal fragrance.
Gedo stood before a medicine cauldron emitting a misty purple aura, her staff lightly tapping as she manipulated delicate magic to guide the energy within the cauldron to merge.
She was still wearing that deep purple dress, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura, but her gaze towards Lin Wan carried a hint of gentleness.
"You've come." Ge Duo stopped what she was doing, her voice slightly hoarse and magnetic.
"It was a little later than I expected."
"We encountered a strengthened Imperial patrol on the way, so we took a slightly longer route," Lin Wan explained. His gaze swept over the increasingly thriving immortal herbs around him, and he sensed an energy aura that was more concentrated than ever before.
"It seems you've managed this place very well."
"Hmph, it only took a little effort." Ge Duo's tone carried a hint of smugness; she was extremely satisfied with this treasure land.
"I have prepared what you requested."
She turned around and took out a box made of cold jade from the wooden house. She opened the lid, and instantly, a strange medicinal fragrance filled the air, invigorating everyone.
Inside the box lay three bottles of different colored potions, one of which was crimson and appeared to have flames flowing across its surface.
A bottle of crystal-clear white liquid exudes a chilling aura.
The last potion was a strange, chaotic color, with red and white energies slowly rotating and merging within it, maintaining a delicate balance, as if they were alive.
Chapter 90 Ning Rongrong, who refuses to admit defeat
"The Crimson Flame Elixir is made primarily from the delicate branches and leaves of the Fiery Apricot, supplemented with various precious Yang-attribute ingredients. Consuming it allows one to draw upon extreme fire energy to temper the meridians and physical body, a process that is quite painful," Ge Duo said calmly, pointing to the red elixir.
"The Ice Heart Elixir, with the leaves and branches of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass as its core, supplemented with cold-attribute ingredients, can protect your heart and main meridians from frostbite and damage in extreme cold." She pointed to the white pill.
Finally, Gedo's finger touched the chaotic-colored pill.
"This is the Yin-Yang Elixir. I extracted the primordial energy of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and combined it with the power of many immortal herbs to finally form the elixir. It can help you better balance yourself under the impact of the two extreme energies of ice and fire, absorb the medicinal power to the maximum extent, and strengthen your foundation and enhance your martial soul origin when you break through."
Lin Wan looked at the three bottles of potion with their immense energy and felt a slight stirring in her heart.
Gedo's abilities in alchemy and plants were indeed beyond imagination.
With the help of these magical potions, the chances of this breakthrough and the benefits he can gain will far exceed his expectations.
"Thank you." Lin Wan solemnly put away the jade box.
"No need to thank me, helping you is helping myself." Ge Duo waved her staff, pointing to a specially cleared platform at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"That is the cultivation ground I prepared for you, the convergence point of ice and fire energies. I have already imprinted the order of taking the pills and the precautions into your mind with my spiritual power. Go, don't waste my pills."
Lin Wan said no more and walked to the platform.
Instantly, two energies, one of extreme cold and the other of extreme heat, surged into his body from his feet, causing him to groan involuntarily.
He immediately sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and first picked up the Ice Heart Pill and swallowed it.
The potion entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a pure stream of ice that spread throughout his limbs and bones, forming a flexible yet icy protective membrane around his main meridians and heart.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Wan swallowed the Crimson Flame Potion without hesitation.
"boom!"
The moment the Crimson Flame Pill entered his mouth, it felt as if a ball of raging fire exploded inside his body. The violent, scorching energy, like a wild horse that had broken free, surged wildly through his meridians, and the resulting burning pain almost made him faint instantly.
Lin Wan forced herself to stay awake, frantically circulating meditation techniques to guide the violent energy along a specific route through her body, washing over, burning, and tempering every inch of her meridians and flesh.
Sweat evaporated as soon as it seeped out, leaving the skin red and even developing tiny cracks, as if it might be burned to a crisp at any moment.
In the midst of extreme pain, the effects of the Ice Heart Potion began to appear. The cold protective film firmly guarded Lin Wan's vital parts, preventing him from being completely burned.
Just as Lin Wan felt he was about to reach his limit, the extreme cold energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye itself was drawn in and began to surge into his body, clashing violently with the fiery energy within him.
The interplay of ice and fire intensified the tearing pain once more!
Lin Wan gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes shone with a crazy and determined light.
