Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 143: The Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb
As soon as the voice fell, Huo Yuhao pushed forward with a palm and activated his soul skill—Snow Dance in the Cold Sky.
This skill doesn't cause much damage, but it has the advantage of covering a wide area with wind and snow. The heavy snowflakes possess the ultimate ice attribute, making this the perfect method to quickly clear large patches of miasma and poisonous clouds.
In an instant, the air temperature plummeted. Heavy snow fell from the sky, landing into the colorful miasma and poisonous clouds. The miasma and clouds retreated rapidly under the influence of the snowflakes imbued with the ultimate ice attribute.
Huo Yuhao then charged forward, opening his soul guidance shield for protection.
Since the range of his soul skill centered on him, he needed to get closer to the miasma and poisonous clouds to be effective. Fortunately, his soul guidance shield could withstand the erosion of the miasma temporarily, and he suffered no damage from the poisonous mist.
After a short while, Huo Yuhao arrived in front of a valley.
He looked at the numerous Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers, which had shrunk due to the ice and snow, and a faint smile appeared on his face. This indicated that he was not far from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
These Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers served as a barrier outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Over the years, some of these flowers had even grown into Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers.
Under the influence of the poisonous miasma, many of the local soul beasts had died, leaving only the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as a pure land.
After all, very few lives in this world could withstand the poison of the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers for long.
At this moment, the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Tianmeng Spirit Soul appeared beside Huo Yuhao, all emanating intense coldness—through each with their level of frostiness.
The cold radiated by the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress was undoubtedly powerful. Tianmeng, lacking the ultimate ice attribute, could not compare in this regard.
Huo Yuhao quickly activated a flying soul guidance device, soared into the valley, and descended rapidly. The Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm followed closely behind. Soon, Huo Yuhao and his three spirit souls arrived at the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Along the way, they encountered numerous vine attacks—plant-type soul beasts launching their tendrils. Since this was the home of plant-type soul beasts around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, such attacks were expected.
Nevertheless, Huo Yuhao and his spirit souls easily neutralized the vine offensive before descending into the valley.
What unfolded before them resembled a fairyland on earth. Although the sky still carried the colorful miasma, the area below was peaceful and lush with vitality.
A large number of plants grew densely in the valley, radiating vitality.
In the center was a lake, divided into two distinct parts.
One side was icy white, shrouded in faint white mist; the other side was fiery red, with shimmering, distorted light—like two precious gems embedded in the earth.
This was undoubtedly the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three treasure pots.
"What is this place?" Tianmeng, now in human form, looked around in surprise. "The energy of heaven and earth here is so rich, and the aura of life is at least five times that of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
{T/N: I think this statement shouldn't be accurate. Life Gold attracts spiritual energy between heaven and earth and is the largest part of Life Gold in the entire Douluo series in the Star Dou Great Forest Core area (area near Lake of Life) so how come energy will be low?}
Since his birth, this was the first time he saw so many diverse plant-type soul beasts coexisting. Some of these species were believed to be extinct outside, yet here they thrived.
The ability of such a large number of plant-type soul beasts to survive indicated an extremely vigorous vitality. This vitality would undoubtedly benefit the further consolidation of their soul bodies.
Huo Yuhao thought that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was where the Water and Fire Dragon King fell. It was natural that the spiritual energy here was richer than in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. He believed that the Lake of Life contributed significantly to this richness.
Of course, when mentioning the Lake of Life, one cannot ignore the vitality of the living beings within it. Without the "Life Gold" soaking in the water, the Lake of Life would probably not exist.
"Practicing in a place like this would double your progress," the Ice Empress commented. "My residence and the Snow Girls can't compare to this."
She felt that this place was far better than the Extreme North. If such a place existed in the Extreme North, its status among the soul beasts would rise sharply.
Huo Yuhao had no time to ponder their thoughts. He quickly flew in a fixed direction.
His goal was to find the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb. After all, this item was an exceptionally special existence among the soul beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Even Tang San chose to incorporate the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record (supplementary version) along with the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb.
To be honest, Tang San's choices were a bit peculiar. He had to modify the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record into a "castrated" version, yet many in the Tang Sect still prided themselves on practicing it.
Wake up— it was a castrated version of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. No one in their right mind would regard the castrated version as a treasure!
Huo Yuhao wondered why Tang San kept his secrets so closely guarded. Was he afraid someone in the lower world would practice the full Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, become exceptionally strong, and overthrow him?
No, even if others obtained the complete Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, it was unlikely they could overthrow Tang San at this point.
Nevertheless, Mysterious Heaven Skill remained an incredibly useful technique in the Douluo universe. Even in Douluo Five, Tang San continued to use it. As a God-King who had been in the God Realm for so long, he had yet to craft a more powerful technique than Mysterious Heaven Skill.
It was truly the result of a strict selection by a divine ruler (Author)!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon a large, light pink flower growing on the shore at the junction of the red and white lakes.
The flower had no leaves and was notably large. Its petals, crystal-clear and shimmering, radiated a stunning beauty that made people want to pluck it. A strange aura emanated from this flower, exuding an air of authority.
"Human," the flower warned softly. "Although you may step into this place, it's already a commendable effort. But if you don't want to offend me, stop immediately."
While speaking, it radiated a unique aura characteristic of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—an intimidating presence.
Huo Yuhao knew that although Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb appeared serious on the surface, she was not truly hostile. Her warning did not evoke any sense of danger in him; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh. Still, he managed to hold back.
He looked into the flower and asked, "Do you remember the agreement with that person?"
The "that person" referred to the pure and innocent God King Tang San. Since Dugu Bo's passing, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has become the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well of the Tang Clan.
"An agreement with that person?" The flower's expression became excited. "Are you the descendant of that person?"
