Chapter 252 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
Chapter 252 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
The next day, Huo Yuhao and his group appeared on time outside the majestic main gate of Shrek Academy.
The morning breeze still carried a hint of coolness from the lingering night dew, sweeping across the open square in front of the school gate, lifting the hems of the clothes and strands of hair of several boys.
They didn't have to wait long before two figures emerged side by side from the depths of the academy; it was Zang Xin and Ya Li.
It was only then that Huo Yuhao and the others learned that the Holy Spirit Douluo would accompany them throughout their trip.
The group boarded a large soul-guided bus prepared in advance by the academy and headed straight for the soul-guided train station.
Their final destination was Tiandou City.
Three hours later, the group got off at Tiandou Station and boarded vehicles arranged by the Tang Clan.
After the vehicle smoothly drove out of the city, the windows silently turned black, blocking everyone's view.
This is a secret method of the Tang Clan. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is the most core forbidden area of the Tang Clan. Even the disciples of the Tang Clan itself may not be qualified to know the route to it.
However, all of this was meaningless to Huo Yuhao.
The vehicle was indeed engraved with a soul-guiding array that restricted mental power, and it was of a high grade.
Ordinary Soul Masters, even ordinary Soul Saints, cannot fully utilize their spiritual power under the suppression of this formation.
However, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power has now entered the Spirit Realm. These so-called spiritual restriction formations are nothing more than a thin veil to him, which he can easily lift to see through everything behind them.
About an hour later, the vehicle finally came to a slow stop.
The group filed out, stepping onto the soft, fallen leaves and looking around.
As far as the eye can see, there is a primeval forest that blocks out the sky.
The trunks of the towering trees are so thick that it takes several people to encircle them, and the dense canopy spreads out in layers, with only a few golden rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps.
Zang Xin glanced at the crowd and simply uttered two words: "Follow up."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the depths of the dense forest. No one dared to delay and followed closely behind.
There were no paths or signs in the forest, but Zang Xin's steps were steady and he walked for about two hours through the winding paths.
After crossing another ancient tree, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He clearly sensed that the scenery around him was starting to look strange. He seemed to have stepped into a sophisticated illusion, and even with his spiritual power, he couldn't see through it.
Just as he was pondering to himself, Zang Xin suddenly stopped.
He turned around to face the crowd, his usually gentle and smiling face now filled with an unprecedented seriousness.
"From now on, follow my lead closely and don't make a single wrong step."
"The woodlands in this area are full of highly poisonous plants. If you step on the wrong side and get poisoned, it will be very troublesome."
No one would joke about their own life. As Zang Xin finished speaking, everyone nodded seriously.
Huo Yuhao held Gu Yue's small hand and followed closely behind Zang Xin.
Following them were Na'er, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie, while Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li walked at the very end of the group.
At that moment, an old yet familiar voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind without warning.
"That illusion array we just saw was no ordinary formation; it contained a trace of divine power. We must be extra careful from now on."
Huo Yuhao did not stop, but his pupils contracted imperceptibly for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that Aunt Leng had said that Tang San was the first to discover the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Therefore, the divine array here was most likely set up by Tang San himself.
Before long, the dense forest ahead suddenly cleared up, as if an invisible knife had sliced through their vision. The ancient trees that blocked out the sky disappeared in just a few steps, and they arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Zang Xin stopped at the edge of the cliff and turned around.
The next moment, a gentle force, like an invisible giant hand, steadily supported everyone and surrounded Zang Xin.
Zang Xin took a step off the cliff and led everyone down into the valley below.
Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a layer of seven-colored mist below, which refracted countless tiny points of light under the sunlight, making it so beautiful it was almost dreamlike.
Zang Xin raised his hand and waved it, and a pale golden light shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping everyone in it.
Then, he led everyone and slowly sank down into the colorful mist.
The moment it came into contact with the mist, a chilling change occurred on the surface of the pale golden light shield.
The once smooth, mirror-like light barrier suddenly began to sprout countless pits, accompanied by a faint hissing sound, as if some invisible force was frantically gnawing at the surface of the light barrier.
The corrosion marks spread rapidly, and golden light flashed across the light shield from time to time, barely repairing the eroded parts.
The pits and bumps, so numerous and dense, were enough to make one's scalp tingle.
The pits and bumps, so numerous and dense, were enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Clearly, this colorful mist is far from as beautiful as it appears.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp inwardly. If it weren't for Zang Xin's protective aura, they would have been reduced to ashes within a few breaths if they had rushed directly into this fog.
The name of the Tang Clan's forbidden area is indeed well-deserved.
Fortunately, although the fog was deadly, it was not excessively thick.
Zang Xin controlled his descent speed, and the golden light shield steadily traversed the colorful mist, covering a distance of several dozen meters in the time it takes to breathe.
Finally, the surrounding seven-colored light suddenly disappeared.
The world outside the light shield suddenly brightened, and the view became clear and transparent again.
Below the canyon lay a breathtakingly beautiful scene they had never seen before.
In the center of the valley, a lake lies quietly.
The lake wasn't very large, but it was strangely divided into two completely different colors: one half was ice blue, and the other half was crimson.
The two colors of lake water meet in the middle without any obstruction, yet they are as distinct as two gemstones cut apart by fate, remaining untouched by each other.
Huo Yuhao silently repeated the name "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye" in his heart, and suddenly felt that it couldn't be more fitting.
Around the lake, all sorts of exotic flowers and plants grow.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual power quietly spread out, and many of these flowers and plants were surrounded by extremely strong energy fluctuations.
These are not ordinary herbs, but truly rare and precious natural treasures.
Zang Xin led everyone to land steadily on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, where everyone curiously looked around at everything.
The air suddenly became thick and sticky, and the gentle breeze that had been caressing our faces seemed to be abruptly stopped by an invisible hand.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
This is a forbidden area of the Tang Clan. Could there be enemies here?
However, when he looked at Zang Xin, he found that there was no surprise on that gentle and refined face, as if all of this was within his expectations.
The next moment, Zang Xin's aura surged forth.
In just a few breaths, the several oppressive auras that came at them were shattered one by one by Zang Xin's aura.
Before long, six figures slowly emerged from the distance.
With Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, he could tell at a glance that they were not human, but plant-type soul beasts.
The ability to transform into human form means that their cultivation has reached the level of ferocious beasts.
Zang Xin, however, greeted him as if he were meeting an old acquaintance, smiling as he stepped forward and exchanging a few pleasantries.
However, the attitude of the six ferocious beasts on the other side was not very good.
When Zang Xin uttered the words "obtain the immortal herb," the six ferocious beasts opposite him all changed color.
The purple-clad man at the head of the group stared at Zang Xin, his voice not loud, but carrying an undisguised hostility.
"According to our agreement with the Tang Clan, only one person can enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well every hundred years."
He paused, as if suppressing some surging emotion, his face ashen: "Now, it hasn't even been a hundred years since the last time."
His gaze swept over the six teenagers behind Zang Xin, and he said, "And this time, you actually brought six people!"
