Huo Yuhao was silent, took out a soul guide cigarette from his belt and put it in his mouth.
"Love is of course beautiful and desirable, but in the eyes of many people, love does not bring them any benefits, but instead causes both parties to fall into internal friction."
"Everyone was very happy when they were apart, but after they got together, neither of them was happy."
"I really don't want to encounter such a restrictive love, so I have never been willing to admit my feelings."
Xue Di frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do you think so?"
Huo Yuhao whispered: "At least in my opinion, love should be accompanied by responsibility, but how should the boundaries of responsibility be defined?"
"I am indeed willing to do my best to protect Jiujiu, but should I obey her unconditionally?"
"Jiujiu is a member of the Xingluo royal family. Should I obey the Xu family from now on, put aside my ambitions, and do whatever Xu Jiawei says?"
Bingdi asked doubtfully: "Are you still thinking of unifying the continent with the help of the power of the Sun and Moon Empire? How will you face her then?"
Huo Yuhao paused and said, "My goal has never changed, but the unification I'm talking about does not mean the elimination of all national boundaries, but the creation of a community of shared destiny for the continent. I believe that Jiujiu will not refuse."
He did not explain any further. Thinking back to his experiences in Qiankun Valley of Love and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Huo Yuhao's eyes became colder.
"I'm going back to the Sun and Moon Empire, but before that, I have to go to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire again."
……
Tianhun Empire, Sunset Forest, Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
After the previous explosion, the original lakeside was shattered, causing the boundary of the ice and fire lake water to become much larger.
Huo Qiuer was sitting with her legs crossed on a large recliner made of vines, her head supported by her right hand, looking at the magical herbs around her with boredom.
The plant-type soul beasts, led by Youyou, were extremely respectful. They even spoke in whispers and did not dare to make loud noises for fear of disturbing this auspicious beast.
Huo Qiuer's cheeks were slightly puffy on the recliner, as if she was chewing something.
Youyou asked cautiously, "Master Ruishou, I wonder if this fairy fruit suits your taste?"
Huo Qiu'er snorted lightly and praised lightly: "Well, it tastes good."
The sweet and sour, smooth taste and nourishing effect made her very satisfied.
Youyou was flattered and delighted. The petals of her flower moved slightly, giving a secret signal of "OK" to the fairy grass that produced the fairy fruit. Now she had finally dealt with this person.
But Youyou and the other immortal herbs were still worried, as a bigger trouble might come back at any time. At that time, whether the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire would still exist would really depend on the other party's mood.
Suddenly, Huo Qiuer's eyes widened slightly, and she became alert. She turned her head and looked straight up at somewhere in the air.
She was suddenly so excited because she naturally sensed Huo Yuhao's approach.
Before Huo Yuhao showed up, a loud dragon roar was heard above the two-colored lake, and two dragon souls formed by the cold spring and the Yang spring rose into the sky.
The two dragon souls this time were quite small, less than a meter long. After being awakened, they continued to circle around Huo Qiuer.
All the immortal herbs bowed down and transformed themselves to the two dragon spirits in awe.
Huo Yuhao then appeared in front of the flowers, plants and Huo Qiuer.
Not only him appeared, but also Tianmeng and the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow.
Huo Qiuer asked: "Has the person been rescued?"
As soon as the question was asked, all the immortal herbs opened their non-existent ears wide, extremely concerned about the answer to this question.
They were afraid that if they didn't get a positive answer, this mysterious and powerful being would vent his anger on the entire Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
Huo Yuhao replied calmly: "I guess he was rescued."
The immortal herbs couldn't help but feel happy, but when they saw Huo Yuhao's cold eyes, they were still afraid.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about resisting, but the Dragon Lord, the biggest reliance of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, listens to the other party. They really don’t know how to deal with Huo Yuhao. This kind of pressure from the depths of their blood and soul cannot be eliminated at all.
Huo Qiu'er stared at Huo Yuhao for a few seconds and nodded: "Just save him."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the immortal herbs and said in a cold voice: "But because of your difficulties, I almost failed. What do you think..."
Before he could finish his words, Youyou hurriedly pleaded in fear: "Sir, we are willing to surrender, please show mercy and don't destroy the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire!"
"If you want to punish me, just punish me like a blade of grass. Please don't destroy the home of our plant-type soul beasts."
During the time that Huo Yuhao was away, Huo Qiuer, out of bestiality, provided a good place for these plant-type soul beasts.
If Huo Yuhao really destroyed the entire Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, she could accept these homeless fairy herbs for free on behalf of the Star Dou Great Forest and allow them to be planted beside the Lake of Life of Star Dou and Interest.
The Lake of Life possesses pure and rich life energy. Coupled with the blessing of the auspicious beast itself on the growth of soul beasts, it may not be inferior to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire for plant-type soul beasts.
But Youyou and the others did not think this was a good idea. After seeing the sinister smile on Huo Qiuer's lips, they knew that this condition must not be agreed to.
The core area of the Star Dou is the lair of the ferocious beasts. They may not die there, but they will definitely become leeks and food for the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou. They will be harvested regularly every ten years or so, and their life is worse than death.
It’s both surrendering, but surrendering to Huo Yuhao alone is definitely better than surrendering to a group of ferocious beasts. The immortal herbs still have some judgment in this regard.
"We are willing to surrender, please show mercy, sir."
Youyou was the first to express her opinion, and the other immortal herbs followed suit.
Seeing the immortal herbs being so sensible, Huo Yuhao was a little stunned. He smiled and said, “If that’s the case, I will use this Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.”
"Yes, sir, you can take whatever rare treasures you want, but please leave our roots behind." Youyou gritted her teeth.
Now it can only hope that Huo Yuhao is not greedy, knows the principle of taking things slow and steady, and will not kill them all.
However, contrary to the expectations of Youyou and the other plants, Huo Yuhao was not interested in them and just walked straight towards the two-colored spring water.
In addition to him, there were Tianmeng and the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow, all gathered in front of the pale white Hanji Ice Spring.
The saliva from Tian Meng's mouth was almost dripping onto the ground, and even the eyes of the usually calm Ice and Snow Emperors flashed a glimmer of light.
"Yuhao, absorb it quickly."
Huo Yuhao let out a breath, and then jumped directly into the icy spring that was emitting a biting chill.
thump--
The ice spring splashed everywhere, bringing up a cold mist.
Feeling the chill of the extremely cold ice spring, the seven soul rings of the Demon Eye martial spirit also appeared behind Huo Yuhao.
The cold spring with extreme ice properties is the most nutritious tonic in the world for them.
Huo Qiuer slowly walked to the shore and carefully observed Huo Yuhao's seventh soul ring.
She had never heard of such a star-like color.
"Ice Spring Body Refining? Is this the Body Sect's method of increasing age? Or is it liberating Tianmeng's spiritual essence?" She frowned and thought, "But with this color, what year is the soul ring from?"
Chapter 410 Huo Qiuer's Surprise
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was completely immersed in the extremely cold ice spring of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The biting coldness continuously impacted his meridians through all the pores of his body, and a huge amount of ice-attributed energy continuously flowed into his body.
The pale white cold spring once again lit up with the same enchanting green light as before, scaring the fairy grasses such as Youyou so much that their branches and leaves trembled.
Fortunately, this time the green light was not accompanied by a horrific explosion.
Huo Yuhao held his breath and continued to dive. He had experienced this kind of situation many times before, but the effect brought by the extremely cold ice spring in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was better than that brought by other deep waters.
The spring doesn't look deep from the outside and the bottom is clearly visible, but when you actually fall into it, you always feel like you can't reach the bottom.
The chill, along with the powerful pain, continued to beat Huo Yuhao's skin. But he did not say a word. Instead, the constant training of his muscles and bones made him feel extremely happy and excited.
Today, Huo Yuhao has officially become a Soul Sage, and he is also going to try to reach a new level.
Strengthening the body in the ice lake, exposing oneself to strong water pressure and simulating a near-death situation, is not only a method used by the Body Sect to help disciples achieve a second awakening of their own martial spirits, but also a secret method they use to help disciples increase the age of their spirit rings.
When a soul master is under such tremendous pressure, if there is sufficient external soul power, there is a chance that his soul ring will be further broken through.
However, this method is not 100% successful, and the success rate is even extremely low. Even Du Bu Si’s first four soul rings are still the best soul ring ratio of two yellow and two purple.
However, this secret method is bound to succeed for Huo Yuhao, because he can use this pressure to release the original power sealed in his body by Tianmeng and Bingdi, and integrate it into his other spirit rings, thereby increasing the age of these spirit rings.
The specific number of years is determined by the maximum number of years that his physical fitness can withstand.
The last time he upgraded the Demon Eye Martial Spirit's second to sixth soul rings to seventy thousand years, he planned to upgrade the second to seventh soul rings to a hundred thousand years in one go.
Huo Yuhao was very calm in the cold spring. He closed his eyes and activated his mental detection and mental sensitivity at the same time, carefully feeling the movement and flow of the soul power around his body.
The spring water, which also had the property of extreme ice, brought rich vitality from heaven and earth, which turned into strands of silk threads that filled his meridians. Even Huo Yuhao's strong meridians could not absorb this huge amount of energy, and he had to carefully circulate the soul power and merge it into his own muscles, soul bones, and dantian.
This feeling is painful, but also extremely pleasant.
Behind him, the spirit ring configuration of his first martial spirit, which consisted of one white-gold and six black, kept flashing, and seemed to be expanding and deforming.
Huo Yuhao was not the only one who used the extremely cold ice spring to strengthen himself, but also Tian Meng and the Ice and Snow Emperors by the lake.
Tianmeng lay on the shore, lowered his head to the cold spring, and licked it happily with his tongue.
Bingdi stood beside Tianmeng with his arms folded, stretched out his tail and gently dipped into the ice spring, frowned and said speechlessly: "Tianmeng, can you pay a little attention to your image?"
"There's nothing I can do... I'm not like Bingbing and the others who have the ultimate ice attribute, so I can only absorb it little by little like this."
Tian Meng's voice sounded a little aggrieved, and he raised his head and looked at Bingdi pitifully.
Bingdi looked calm as she continued to absorb the energy quietly, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. She had taken a handful of ice spring water before, and she knew in her heart how much help the energy of heaven and earth in it would bring to them.
Xue Di stood alone in the middle of the cold spring. There was no ice under her feet, but she could stand firmly on the water. She seemed to blend into the pale white lake water in her white dress, showing her hazy beauty to the fullest in the looming cold mist.
The ice spring formed on the corpse of the Ice Dragon King after his death brought the long-lost and familiar smell of home to Tianmeng and the Ice and Snow Emperor who came from the Far North.
After an unknown amount of time, the Ice Emperor finally pulled his tail out of the water with a sense of unfulfilled desire. He said with some regret, "Although this ice spring water is good, it is a pity that its effect on us is getting weaker and weaker. It is still some distance before this Emperor can recover to his peak level."
Even though she was complaining, the joy in her eyes showed that Hyotei was very satisfied.
She sighed and said to herself, "I wonder how this extremely cold ice spring water compares to the ten thousand year old black ice marrow."
Tian Meng, who was standing next to him, had already stopped absorbing the energy and answered hesitantly, "Hmm... Bingbing, I guess it should be slightly inferior to the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow..."
"How do you know?" Bingdi asked subconsciously, then turned his head and looked at Tianmeng, and the two blinked in tacit understanding.
The joy that had just been in Bingdi's eyes disappeared in an instant. He frowned, stretched out his right hand and hit Tianmeng on the head mercilessly.
"Wow, Bingbing, you're so fierce..."
Ignoring Tian Meng who was pretending to cry, Bing Di walked lightly to the side of Xue Di who was in the center of the cold spring.
"Xue'er, how are you recovering?"
