Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 136 Returning to the Body Sect

Huo Yuhao took Di Ruier, who was still in a weakened state, and left the far north.

However, just as he stepped out of the far north, a rather dissatisfied snort reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

Huo Yuhao calmly maneuvered the flying soul tool to descend from the sky, placing Di Ruier on a stable surface.

Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully to Du Busi, who had appeared before him at some unknown time and whose face showed a slight hint of anger, and said, "Master."

"Oh ho, so you finally know to acknowledge me as your master, huh?!"

Before Huo Yuhao could explain, Du Busi flicked his hand, and a dark green palm wind directly attacked Huo Yuhao.

The soul power within this palm strike was quite strange; it wasn't the same weak and feeble attack that Du Busi and Huo Yuhao used to feed him.

What it contained was undoubtedly a strike that contained a portion of the power of a Limit Douluo, seemingly insignificant but actually not to be underestimated.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly, and the phantom of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul appeared behind him.

With a flash of icy blue light, under Huo Yuhao's control, the ice elements within a ten-meter radius of the place where he fought with Du Busi were all drained away in an instant, turning into frost at the absolute zero level.

Under Huo Yuhao's control, this absolute zero energy was spewed out directly from the Ice Dragon King's mouth, condensing the dark green palm wind in mid-air.

Huo Yuhao himself was not idle either, activating his Eye of Truth.

The moment the Ice Dragon King extracted and refined the ice elements in the surrounding environment into absolute zero energy, a large number of new elements were transformed from the purification process.

At the same time, due to the lack of elements in this area, other elements from further away also began to surge towards this place.

Driven by external elements and born from internal elements, the elements existing in the place where Huo Yuhao and Du Busi fought were thrown into a chaotic collision.

However, these minor elemental disturbances had little effect on the two who had already entered the state of oneness with nature, much like a gentle breeze.

"Oh? This ice is quite interesting, but it's made quite a commotion. Could this be what you've gained after spending several months in the core area of ​​the far north?"

Poison Undying's expression turned cold, as if he was about to continue his attack, but suddenly he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Instead of anger, his face showed a smile. Poisonous Undying laughed loudly and said, "Good lad, so you were hiding this from me all along!"

The elements that were originally rioting and colliding around them suddenly transformed into soul skills of different attributes, surrounding Poison Undying within them.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already broken free from the ten-meter encirclement and was forcing a smile at Du Busi with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing his reaction, Du Busi lost interest in continuing the fight and waved his hand listlessly, saying, "Alright, let's take that little girl and head back to the Body Sect."

"As for the trouble you caused in the far north, tell me everything when you return to the sect."

At the same time, an invisible soul force dissipated from Huo Yuhao's body, then transformed into dark green soul force and returned to Du Busi's body.

"Yes, Master."

When Huo Yuhao saw that the person who spoke was Du Busi, he could sense that although Du Busi had shown considerable dissatisfaction before, he was actually more delighted than anything else when he first saw him.

After all, if he hadn't been constantly worried about Huo Yuhao's safety, how could Du Busi have waited for Huo Yuhao here right after he left the far north, relying solely on the wisp of soul power left on Huo Yuhao's body?

With the Poison Immortal ability, Huo Yuhao naturally no longer needed to use a flying soul tool to carry Di Ruier.

With a Limit Douluo helping to look after them, and not an unreliable guy like Xuanzi, they naturally wouldn't encounter any major problems along the way.

Although it was clear that Di Ruier wasn't in good condition, Du Busi didn't ask any further questions.

However, while ensuring that his speed would not affect Huo Yuhao and Di Ruier, he quietly increased the speed of flight.

They arrived at the secluded Body Sect before evening, but the sect was much quieter than usual.

"Yuhao, take this little girl and find her a place to stay first, then come to the study to find me."

After returning to the Body Sect, Poison Undying's expression softened somewhat, but his words still carried a hint of dissatisfaction. He then turned and left alone.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could only shake his head helplessly. After settling Di Ruier down, he went to see Du Busi.

"Master, where have all the disciples in the sect gone? I feel that the aura of many disciples and even elders is no longer in the sect."

Poison Immortal nodded: "That's right. After you left, everything that needed to be done in Tiandou City was basically arranged."

"And these disciples were gradually transferred from the Body Sect during that period."

"After all, even if the Soul Masters of my Body Sect don't learn how to make Soul Tools, they still need to learn how to use them or how to deal with Soul Masters."

"Moreover, with the theories you previously promoted within the sect, the ordinary disciples no longer need to be confined to the sect for arduous cultivation. It's time for them to go out and broaden their horizons."

After finishing discussing official business in Tiandou City, Du Busi looked Huo Yuhao up and down with a somewhat mocking smile: "However, I didn't expect that you would actually be involved with those ferocious beasts in the far north."

"Is it because of that little fox from before? Or is it because of this little girl who transformed from an imperial auspicious beast? Or..." Poisonous Death said in a slightly teasing tone.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao replied with a wry smile, "Master, please stop teasing your disciple. However, your disciple has indeed formed an alliance with the ferocious beasts of the far north."

"After all, the root of my disciple's second martial soul is still ice attribute. Although the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is also a treasure land, I will inevitably need to borrow help from the far north in the future."

"Therefore, with Rui'er's help, I also helped the far north resolve some troubles and hidden dangers. As a result, the alliance has naturally taken initial shape."

At this point, Poison Undying's expression became more serious: "Soul beasts and soul masters have always been enemies. Although there are exceptions, Yuhao, are you absolutely certain that you can handle a forbidden zone for humans like the far north?"

After all, the alliance is not a game; it can't be settled in a few words. Naturally, Poison-Undying has doubts about this.

However, seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Du Busi ultimately didn't say anything more: "In short, Yuhao, you know what's going on."

"However, the alliance with the far north is not something that can be leaked at will. You can handle the specific details yourself, Yuhao. I will not get involved."

"But if there is a shortage of manpower, Yuhao, you don't need to hide it."

"Although there aren't many, there are still a few experts in my Body Sect who are skilled in ice attributes."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Master, rest assured, I understand."

"Alright, what are you standing there for? Sit down." Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was still standing straight, the poison finally failed to kill him.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao sat down as well. Seeing that Du Busi was in a much better mood, Huo Yuhao knew that this hurdle was over.

"Damn it, I thought you were just going to the far north to find some rare treasures like before, but I never expected you'd get involved with those ferocious beasts."

At this point, Poison Undying's anger, which had almost died down, reignited: "Although I set up some traps for you, it wasn't my true self who was present."

"Even if these methods could pose a threat, you'd be lucky to escape from a ferocious beast. How dare you be so bold?"

"But that trick you just used was quite interesting. If I'm not mistaken, you didn't use any soul power at all, right? Did you figure that out during your trip to the far north?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Du Bu Si's eyes. Although Huo Yuhao had only fought him for a short while, the momentum and combat power he displayed were far less than in his previous encounters with Huo Yuhao.

However, with the keen senses of a Limit Douluo, he immediately discovered that Huo Yuhao did not consume any of his own soul power, whether he was controlling the Ice Dragon King or those random self-created soul skills.

It should be understood that even the realm of oneness with heaven and man reached by a super Douluo powerhouse, even if every move is accompanied by the power of heaven and earth, it is still just power, which is a kind of mental pressure.

To truly put it into practice and create actual destructive power, it is absolutely essential to use soul power as a catalyst. Even if you consume very little soul power to draw upon a great deal of the power of heaven and earth, there will still be some consumption.

Huo Yuhao's actions just now seemed to have neither consumed his soul power nor caused any fluctuations in his mental energy. How could Du Busi not be curious about this?

"Have you come up with some new trick again, kid?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled, but shook his head and said, "This disciple has only grasped a little bit of the basics."

"If we really want to put it into practice, it probably won't be able to keep up with my disciple's own strength in the short term. For now, it can only be considered a little trick."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't say much, Du Busi didn't press further, but continued, "I led a group to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well some time ago."

At this point, Poison Undying paused: "I discovered traces of outsiders' arrival within, but it's rather strange, even though the external Azure Phosphorus Flower poison was forcibly broken by someone's strength."

"However, the immortal herbs and the Yin-Yang Wells within it, which were sealed by my soul power, did not have any problems, and that is precisely what is strange."

"Even if that person's cultivation is not as good as mine, since he was able to break the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Flower with his strength, breaking the seal of one or two immortal herbs or one of the springs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will naturally not be a problem."

"The result was quite the opposite. After entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, this person left. You, kid, analyze this for your master. Who could have done this? Could it be the so-called Tang Sect?"

After hearing what Du Bu Si said, Huo Yuhao frowned and his brain began to work at high speed.

It's impossible for the Tang Sect to know, since in the original story, if it weren't for Niu Tian, ​​Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been able to obtain the map of the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the other members of the Tang Sect would be even less likely to know.

Not to mention that because of the influence brought about by his own transmigration, the Tang Sect is now even more insignificant than in the original story, and Tang Ya has already been captured by the evil soul master, so it is impossible for her to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

However, it would be unreasonable for Niu Tian and his group, who possessed the map of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, to make a move, since Du Busi was still a level 98 Super Douluo when he set up the Soul Power Seal.

Even though they suppressed their own strength as gods descending to the mortal realm, Niu Tian and Titan's cultivation levels were undoubtedly at the level of Limit Douluo, which was at least level 99. Although dealing with them would be somewhat troublesome, it was not impossible for them to be completely helpless.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao could only shake his head: "Then Master, did you have those immortal herbs?"

After glancing at Du Bu Si, Huo Yuhao didn't continue, since he still had the secret manual in his hands.

"I have already ordered people to secretly bring back those 100,000-year-old immortal herbs that have developed sentience to the sect. However, I do not know how to collect those immortal herbs that have not yet developed sentience, and they are too fragile, so I have not ordered anyone to touch them."

"Now that you're back, rest for a while today, and we'll go to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire together tomorrow."

Huo Yuhao nodded, took his leave, and returned to his courtyard.

At this moment, Di Ruier blinked her eyes and looked at him curiously: "Yuhao, that old man is so fierce."

Although her face was still a little pale, it was different from protecting a ferocious beast through its tribulation. Di Ruier had recovered somewhat by now, and in a few more days she would be fine.

Huo Yuhao nodded, then explained that he would be leaving the next day. After a pause, he said, "Weren't you curious about the origin of my Ice Dragon Martial Soul? It's mainly because of this place. Would you like to come along?"

Tilting her head, Di Ruier thought for a moment and then said, "I'd better go see those 100,000-year-old immortal herbs first. Are they here? Apart from Uncle Wan Yao Wang, I've never seen a plant-type soul beast that has cultivated intelligence."

"Alright, then I'll take you to have a look first."

Compared to an unknown land of rare treasures, Di Ruier, who was determined to lead the soul beast race out of its current predicament, was more interested in these 100,000-year-old soul beasts and ferocious beasts who possessed great power but harbored different intentions.

Moreover, she could tell that although Huo Yuhao spoke very casually, the things related to his Ice Dragon Martial Soul were probably not simple, so she did not ask to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with him.
