"Complete the required spirit rings?!"
"Intercept or destroy Tang San's key spirit beast aids?!"
"Blue Silver King, Blue Silver Emperor, Titan Giant Ape, and Sky Azure Bull Python?!"
Ye Han was overjoyed when he heard the contents of the Dragon God's fifth trial.
These four spirit beasts were all crucial to Tang San's growth.
The Blue Silver King helped Tang San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was also a significant aid to Tang San.
As for the last two, their help was even more substantial.
The reason Ye Han was particularly excited about the Blue Silver Emperor was that she was Tang Hao's wife.
In the previous round, he had targeted Tang San, that little brat. Now, it was time to go after his wife!
However, compared to the other three, dealing with the Blue Silver Emperor would be quite difficult.
After all, the Blue Silver Emperor was guarded by Tang Hao, that wild dog. Ye Han would have to proceed with caution.
He couldn't act recklessly like last time. He needed to be fully prepared before making his move.
After thinking this through, Ye Han snapped back to reality but suddenly remembered something. He quickly asked the Dragon God:
"Ah… right! Earlier, when the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings attacked me and you saved me, does that count as one of the three times you promised to help me?!"
The Dragon God pondered for a moment before responding:
"Of course not. However, that intervention consumed a significant amount of my divine power!"
"Now, I have very little divine power left and won't be able to assist you for the next five years!"
After saying this, the Dragon God returned to Ye Han's spiritual sea.
"That's a relief~!"
Ye Han nodded, feeling relieved, and prepared to leave this alternate space.
However, at this critical moment, Ye Han's body suddenly shuddered.
A wave of discomfort washed over him, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
"What's going on?!"
Feeling the strange sensation in his body, Ye Han quickly focused his mind and asked the Dragon God.
The Dragon God, as if suddenly remembering something, replied:
"I almost forgot to tell you. When my two sons sacrificed themselves."
"A portion of their divine power was absorbed by your bones, causing your age to skyrocket by a thousand years."
"This is just a temporary reaction from your body, so there's no need to worry. Besides, with your Dragon God's Saint Body, you have eternal life, so age is irrelevant."
Ye Han was stunned.
Wait, so I'm a thousand-year-old monster now?
But why hasn't my appearance changed? Is this a joke?
However, after a moment of thought, he realized this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Now that he was an adult, he could finally kiss Ling Yuan without any reservations~
Ye Han immediately turned and flew toward the entrance, leaving the alternate space.
"Buzz—!"
In the next moment, Ye Han returned to the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The spring at the center had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Without dwelling on it, Ye Han looked up and activated the Ice and Fire Dragon King Wings on his back.
Then, with a powerful burst of energy, he shot out of the well and hovered high in the sky.
Night had already fallen, and Ye Han looked like a dazzling star of ice and fire in the dark sky.
"This terrifying aura!!!"
The commotion instantly alerted Ling Yuan, Xiao Wu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan.
The four of them looked up at Ye Han, who now had wings of ice and fire on his back, radiating an overwhelming aura.
The aura was powerful and mysterious, as if a deity had descended from the heavens, inspiring awe in all who witnessed it.
"Is that… an external spirit bone, as recorded in ancient texts?!"
"But the age of that spirit bone… even I can't discern it. Could it be divine-grade?!"
Dugu Bo, after recovering from his shock, exclaimed in astonishment.
With his vast knowledge, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of the wings on Ye Han's back.
Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu were also stunned, having never seen such a breathtaking sight.
"Tsk…!"
Although Ling Yuan had known in advance that Ye Han's journey was guided by a deity.
She hadn't expected such a dramatic transformation. Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
"Whoosh—!"
Seeing the four of them, Ye Han quickly descended.
He landed in front of them and retracted the wings on his back.
However, the lingering aura of ice and fire continued to emanate from him, making everyone's hearts race.
Fortunately, even though the spirit bone was divine-grade, Ye Han was still only a Spirit Ancestor, so its effects were limited.
Otherwise, the mere aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon King Wings could have killed Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan.
After a moment of shock, Dugu Bo was the first to eagerly ask:
"Holy Son, those wings on your back, and that aura… what exactly happened?!"
Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan were also filled with curiosity, their eyes fixed on Ye Han.
Ling Yuan, too, was eager to know the details.
Ye Han naturally wouldn't reveal everything to anyone other than Ling Yuan. He shrugged and casually said:
"I was just lucky to gain some opportunities down there. As for the specifics, I'm afraid I can't say more."
Everyone was once again shocked. There was another world beneath the well?!
At this moment, Ye Han remembered the first part of the fifth trial—completing his spirit rings.
He also thought that since they would eventually find out about his spirits, he might as well reveal them now.
With this in mind, he decided not to hide his spirits any longer. With a thought, he released the Light and Dark Dragon Kings.
"Roar—!"
"Roar—!"
In the next moment, two dazzling lights burst forth from Ye Han's body.
The massive forms of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King appeared.
The former radiated a sacred and majestic aura, while the latter exuded a sinister and mysterious presence!
"Ah!"
Everyone was startled, and Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock:
"This terrifying aura! It's… it's making my Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor spirit tremble in fear!"
"Could these be the legendary divine-grade spirits?! Your two spirits have evolved into divine-grade spirits!"
Even Ling Yuan, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu were stunned.
What shocked them even more was that these two spirits seemed to possess intelligence?!
They could exist independently of Ye Han, acting as separate entities. This was utterly unbelievable!
Ye Han smiled slightly and said:
"This was also a fortunate opportunity I gained down there."
"They've evolved into the 'Light Dragon King' and the 'Dark Dragon King'!"
"Moreover, they've gained intelligence and can exist independently, acting as summoned entities!"
"Alright, I won't go into more details. Senior Dugu, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Dugu Bo immediately perked up, nodding and bowing:
"Ask away! If I know anything, I'll tell you everything!"
The other three women also listened intently, eager to hear more.
Ye Han nodded and said seriously:
"I want to complete the spirit rings for my Light Dragon King spirit."
"I need to find a few spirit beasts with light-attribute dragon spirits."
"The higher their age, the better. Ideally, all of them should be over ten thousand years old!"
"Senior Dugu, do you know if there are any such spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest?"
Dugu Bo was initially shocked, but after a moment of thought, he said:
"Light-attribute dragon spirit beasts are indeed rare, but…"
"In the depths of the Sunset Forest, there happens to be a lair of Light Sub-Dragons."
"There aren't many of them, but most are quite old. They might be perfect for you."
"However, they're extremely united, and their light attribute counters my poison. Even I wouldn't dare venture there alone!"
"Your Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu, once ventured there alone and killed their leader—a ninety-thousand-year Light Sub-Dragon!"
"That head spirit bone you used to defeat Yan Yan, if I'm not mistaken, might have come from that Light Sub-Dragon leader!"
Ye Han was slightly taken aback. What a coincidence.
So his head spirit bone came from there!
At this moment, a glint of joy flashed in Ye Han's eyes. He cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for the information, Senior Dugu. I'll trouble you to guide me there tomorrow to help me hunt for spirit rings."
Dugu Bo was more than willing to curry favor with Ye Han and quickly agreed.
Ling Yuan would naturally accompany Ye Han, while Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan, being weaker, couldn't join.
After some discussion, they decided to rest in the Sunset Forest for the night and set out the next day.
As the night deepened, Ye Han explained the events in the alternate space to Ling Yuan in detail before they all fell asleep.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a safe place, so there was no need for anyone to keep watch.
Dugu Bo and his granddaughter rested in their usual cave.
Ye Han, Ling Yuan, and Xiao Wu slept in a large tent they had set up.
...
"Ugh…"
In the middle of the night, Ye Han was awakened by the need to relieve himself.
After taking care of his business, he quietly returned.
As he came back, his gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Wu, who was sleeping soundly in the corner.
He suddenly remembered the part of the Dragon God's fifth trial about intercepting or destroying Da Ming and Er Ming.
An idea formed in his mind. Why not try to coax Xiao Wu into convincing Da Ming and Er Ming to sacrifice themselves for him?
With this thought, Ye Han gently walked over to Xiao Wu and shook her delicate shoulders, trying to wake her up.
