Chapter 111 is too unfair.
Chapter 111 is too unfair.
Chapter 111 is too unfair.
The black sun, radiating purple light, hung high in the sky.
On the barren black earth, Huo Yuhao planted the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb in the center of this newly formed Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The surrounding fairy herbs swayed their branches and leaves happily, clearly extremely satisfied with this new home.
Compared to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire outside, the spring water here is still clearly divided into red and white, but at the junction of the two, there is an extra faint green-gold light.
A rich life force wafted over, far surpassing the original Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
If the effect of the external ice and fire dual energy points can reach the level of one day equaling ten days.
So here, it's probably close to the terrifying effect of one day being equivalent to twenty days.
More importantly, the pure life energy brought by that piece of living gold is undoubtedly a more suitable growing environment for many immortal herbs.
After all, not all immortal herbs are like the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, which prefer to grow in extremely hot or extremely cold environments.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had brought Tang Ya to a dark bamboo forest that shimmered with a lustrous sheen.
"Sister Xiaoya, these are the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. I think you can absorb one first to improve the toughness and hardness of your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
"Once your soul power reaches level seventy, I will find a way to help a black jade bamboo with nearly 100,000 years of cultivation overcome its heavenly tribulation, develop complete sentience, and become your soul spirit."
These immortal herbs all rely on the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to accelerate their growth.
Growing within it for ten thousand years is equivalent to cultivating for one hundred thousand years in the outside world.
But precisely because of this, they also have to endure the tribulations that a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have to go through.
However, plant-type soul beasts are often much more fragile than animal-type soul beasts.
Those who successfully survive the heavenly tribulation and develop complete intelligence are even fewer.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb will actively suppress the spiritual intelligence of other immortal herbs.
Without intelligence, they would not be envied by the heavens, and the power of the heavenly tribulations would be correspondingly weakened, thus allowing them to live longer.
That is why, among these immortal herbs, only a handful—the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower—have truly developed complete intelligence.
Tang Ya was still somewhat dazed at this moment.
She nodded subconsciously at Huo Yuhao's words, her gaze somewhat unfocused.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyuhao, whatever you say, Sister Xiaoya will agree to it."
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who had already been caught by Gu Yuena multiple times and was already "desperate to live".
Tang Ya was still very frightened by the fact that she had been caught red-handed by the person in question.
Especially considering that Gu Yuena was hugging Huo Yuhao in front of him not long ago, and then he turned around and found himself hugging and eating someone else's little cabbage?
Not to mention that she has only just become single again, yet she is acting as if she is targeting her best friend's boyfriend.
If Nan Nan finds out about this, she probably won't forgive me easily.
Just thinking about all this messy stuff made Tang Ya's head feel a little swollen.
Knowing that the person above had never valued the Tang Clan's legacy was even more exhausting for her than learning that the person above had never taken it seriously.
Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya, who had been in a daze since earlier, and waved his hand in front of her: "Sister Xiao Ya, wake up."
Tang Ya was jolted back to her senses by his sudden movement.
She nervously tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Yuhao, why did Gu Yuena say she was going back to sleep? Do you think she was really angry? Could she be planning to sneak over and stab Xiaoya to death under the cover of darkness?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya, who had a rather wildly imaginative mind, and felt even more helpless.
If Gu Yuena really wanted to kill you, would she need to go through all that trouble?
"Stop, stop. I don't think Gu Yuena will mind what you just did."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then seemed to suddenly remember something. She released her grip on Huo Yuhao's sleeve.
"It seems that's indeed the case."
Jiang Nannan had mentioned before that Gu Yuena didn't actually seem to care much about the women around Huo Yuhao.
Because in her eyes, those girls were never considered equal opponents.
Tang Ya initially felt somewhat indignant about what her best friend Jiang Nannan had gone through.
So now I've been included in this group too?
Hearing Huo Yuhao say this in person, Tang Ya's feelings were even more complicated and difficult to understand.
But when she thought about how she was just an employee and Huo Yuhao was her boss, Tang Ya could only grit her teeth in silence.
Patience!
After all, subordinates shouldn't kiss their superiors.
Tang Ya gave a soft snort, and without saying anything more, obediently sat down cross-legged.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao also summoned a suitable age of black jade bamboo to float beside Tang Ya, transforming it into a pure black aura that enveloped her.
As Tang Ya fully entered a meditative absorption state, the pure medicinal power around her gradually flowed into her body.
On Tang Ya's skin, rings of lustrous, black jade-like luster began to appear, adding a touch of peculiar beauty.
Huo Yuhao sensed that Tang Ya's soul power was steadily increasing, so he withdrew his attention.
He took out a "Longing for Autumn Dew" from the jade box. The dew had three snow-white leaves and a few glistening water droplets condensed in the center of the leaves.
Huo Yuhao had already set his sights on this immortal herb when he first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, the effect of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" on enhancing his Spirit Eye Martial Soul was simply too great.
Given his cultivation level at the time, which was only close to the second ring, it would have been tantamount to courting death to rashly consume this immortal herb that might directly trigger the second awakening of his martial soul.
In his previous life, he also consumed the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water during his Soul King cultivation stage, thereby elevating his spiritual power to the realm of tangible yet intangible.
Huo Yuhao poured the three drops of dew from the longing dew-covered leaf into his mouth.
A sweet taste flowed down his throat, followed by a refreshing and unique fragrance that filled every corner of his body.
The Dewdrop Tree, having lost its dew, withered quickly and turned to dust in an instant.
With a slight thought, Huo Yuhao controlled the few remaining tiny seeds, sending them drifting to a distant open space to be replanted.
The cool energy condensed from the medicinal power of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" within his body, guided by Huo Yuhao, circulated for several cycles before completely flooding into his brain.
Then, like a vast ocean embracing all rivers, everything converged on the area of his eyes.
A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
As his spiritual power successfully entered the realm of tangible yet intangible, the whole world seemed to have gained many more dazzling colors in his eyes.
Although he was in the undead demiplane, he could clearly see the elemental fluctuations emanating from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the Metal of Life, and various immortal herbs around him, even without using his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously took out a mirror from his storage soul tool.
Unlike in her previous life, she did not develop double pupils after consuming the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew".
The only noteworthy thing is that his originally azure eyes have now turned into a deep blue-gold. As the light flows, they shine as brightly as the sun shining on an endless sea.
On the other side, Tang Ya's absorption of the medicinal power of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo was also nearing its end.
The black energy swirling around her had completely merged into her body.
Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes, a deep black light flashing in her purple phoenix eyes. Her already beautiful face gained an even more lustrous glow, as if it were shimmering with a precious light.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and asked, "Sister Xiaoya, how are you feeling?"
Tang Ya chuckled and proudly waved her slender, jade-like fingers in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Xiao Yuhao, my soul power has increased by a full six levels! Now, Sister Xiaoya feels incredibly strong!"
As she spoke, Tang Ya couldn't hide the joy on her face.
It should be noted that after Tang Ya reached the Soul Master level, her Soul Power only increased by two levels in the past year.
This is also one of the reasons why Tang Ya was completely desperate before.
Given her slow cultivation speed, she may never have the chance to avenge her parents in this lifetime.
And now, she has finally seen hope again.
As Tang Ya shook her fingers, strands of dark jade-colored Blue Silver Grass emerged from beneath her feet, instantly covering the surrounding ground.
Compared to the original emerald green and soft Blue Silver Grass, the current Black Jade Blue Silver Grass not only looks more tough and robust, but its surface is also covered with a layer of crystal-clear jade-like luster, making it exceptionally beautiful.
"Sister Xiaoya also opened up the Chong Meridian as recorded in the complete version of the Xuan Tian Gong. Do you think everything would have been different if everyone had practiced this version back then?"
Towards the end, Tang Ya's tone became somewhat melancholy.
When she opened up her meridians with the medicinal properties of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, she could clearly feel that the Mysterious Heaven Skill within her body had undergone some fundamental changes.
Not only is the soul power enhanced, but the soul power itself also becomes more refined and condensed.
Just as it is better for Soul Masters to cultivate at a younger age, it is also easier to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at a younger age, and the effects will be better.
Many thoughts flashed through Tang Ya's mind, but in the end, they all turned into a silent sigh.
Huo Yuhao noticed that Tang Ya's mental state was a bit off, and knew that she had fallen into memories of the past again.
If Tang Ya continues to dwell on the past, her mental state may seriously deteriorate in the long run.
Huo Yuhao spoke up, trying to shift her focus.
"What's past cannot be undone, but the future can still be shaped. Sister Xiaoya, do you want to go and take revenge right now?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's beautiful phoenix eyes instantly lit up with surprise.
"Can I do it now?"
Although the Iron Blood Sect is only a very small sect in the entire Douluo Continent.
But the sect leader, Tie Li, was also a genuine Soul Emperor-level Soul Master.
In Tang Ya's original plan, she needed to have at least the strength of a Soul King before she could take revenge with a high degree of certainty.
Huo Yuhao nodded and smiled, "Sister Xiaoya, you still have me, right? I'll stand behind you and help you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya became somewhat dazed and lost in thought.
She turned her head slightly away, not daring to look Huo Yuhao in the eye.
She murmured to herself, "Xiao Yuhao, what you just said was way too unfair to Sister Xiaoya."
……
The capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Dou City.
The setting sun is like blood.
When Tang Ya followed Huo Yuhao to the familiar vermilion gatehouse, her eyes immediately changed.
The Tang Clan, which had long since declined, was more like Tang Ya's home than a sect.
The reason why Tang Ya is so obsessed with the revival of the Tang Clan is largely because she wants to reclaim her home.
This is the deepest obsession that Tang Ya has always been unable to let go of.
Seeing that the plaque on the gate tower, which originally belonged to the Tang Clan, had been replaced with one belonging to the Iron Blood Sect, Tang Ya's purple eyes began to uncontrollably turn a little blood red.
Huo Yuhao sighed softly and gently patted Tang Ya's shoulder, waking her from her out-of-control state.
"Sister Xiaoya, don't let hatred blind you."
Tang Ya's voice was low and hoarse: "Xiao Yuhao, I know that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, but I just can't tell..."
The intense hatred in her heart almost consumed Tang Ya's reason.
Huo Yuhao said gently to Tang Ya, who was standing beside him with her head down, "Sister Xiaoya, leave it to me."
Once mental power reaches the realm of tangible yet intangible, the naturally formed mental interference field has silently dispersed all irrelevant personnel within hundreds of meters of the Iron Blood Sect.
The two disciples guarding the gate tower were originally leaning lazily against the gatepost.
When they saw Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya standing not far away, they showed impatience and were about to go forward to scold and drive them away.
However, before they could take a step, the scene before them suddenly distorted.
The illusion of reality had already enveloped the entire area of the Iron Blood Sect, and everyone within it had been unknowingly dragged into that world that was both real and illusory.
Death is not the most terrifying thing.
Tie Li, the leader of the Iron Blood Sect, is currently experiencing a torment more despairing than death.
After enduring a series of tortures, including being strangled to death by the giant python-like blue silver grass and dying from the excruciating pain of being pierced by dozens of dragon whisker needles, his only thought now was to crave a quick and complete death.
Huo Yuhao calmly watched Tie Li die once again, then glanced at Tang Ya beside him, who seemed to have turned to the dark side.
He could only be thankful that all of this was happening in a mirage.
Otherwise, if someone were to come and kill her directly from the outside world, allowing Tang Ya to take revenge herself, the intense bloodshed and slaughter would only further stimulate the hidden devouring talent within her, accelerating her descent into depravity.
