The Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade was indeed only ten thousand years old; Tang San himself had planted them here ten thousand years ago.
"Oh, you know quite a lot, huh? Hmm, those two have a similar aura to the Ice Eye, no wonder they could pass through the Biphos Poison Array outside."
The Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade gently swayed its petals, its tone filled with delight.
She had spent over ten thousand years in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and it had been a long time since she had seen outsiders. Naturally, she was overjoyed at this moment.
"Well, according to the rules set by that person, outsiders aren't allowed in here. Even if you stumble in unintentionally, you must pass my test, otherwise you have to leave. If you chat with me, I might even give you some benefits. Come on, talk to me!"
The Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade's voice was filled with excitement and urgency, clearly having been stifled by the long years.
For an immortal herb that had developed sentience, the loneliness in this isolated Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a constant companion.
If they couldn't voluntarily enter slumber, they would have likely been driven mad by loneliness long ago.
"Heh, rules? I am the rule, Snow Empress!" Lu Jingming chuckled, his tone dismissive.
Why should he obey the rules set by Sea God Tang San? On what grounds should he obey them?
And letting them leave? How could that be possible? If someone truly stumbled through the Biphos Poison Array and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as long as they weren't related to Tang San and weren't strong themselves, death would be the only outcome.
Did they really think these few 100,000-year immortal herbs were pure white flowers? They would never let accidental intruders expose the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Only humans related to Sea God Tang San would have a sliver of hope.
So, Lu Jingming had no intention of playing along with the Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade and directly gave the signal to the Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress rolled her eyes at Lu Jingming, somewhat speechless. This guy was actually treating her like a subordinate.
But strangely, she unexpectedly felt no aversion in her heart; instead, she was quite cooperative.
"Boom!"
The Snow Empress unleashed her demigod-level pressure without reservation. In an instant, the air distorted, emitting muffled rumbling sounds.
A bone-chilling coldness spread rapidly throughout the entire valley, centered on the Snow Empress, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"You, what do you want to do?"
The Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade shivered from the sudden pressure, its pink petals quickly closing. Its voice also carried a distinct tremor, filled with fear and panic.
"I don't care whose 'rules' these are. But now, I call the shots here, understood!"
Lu Jingming's tone was indifferent and cold, his gaze like a torch, looking coldly at the Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Grade.
These immortal herbs were all planted by Tang San ten thousand years ago, so they instinctively favored Tang San in their subconscious.
If these immortal herbs didn't know their place, he would show no mercy.
"Humans, what do you desire?"
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a gentle and mellow male voice leisurely resonated. At the same time, a golden radiance spread like a tide, and a charming fragrance, like a spring breeze, permeated the air.
The voice came from the direction of that magnificent golden flower—the King of Immortal Herbs, the Qiluo Tulip.
Meanwhile, accompanying the release of the Snow Empress's powerful pressure, two distinct yet equally formidable auras suddenly rose in the valley.
One was as scorching hot as a blazing fire, the other as cold as ancient ice. The two intertwined, jointly meeting the Snow Empress's pressure.
Clearly, the Blazing Apricot Jiao Du and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, growing near this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, could no longer hold back and had to join forces to resist the Snow Empress's pressure.
Lu Jingming had no intention of conversing with these immortal herbs. If it weren't for the Great Lord Rukkhadevata's thoughts, he would have adopted more direct and forceful means.
After all, in his opinion, time was precious, and there was no need to waste energy on these immortal herbs.
Therefore, the task of persuading these immortal herbs was left to the Great Lord Rukkhadevata.
As the power of the World Tree Stigmata emerged, a soft and vibrant emerald green radiance spread throughout the valley.
Within this brilliant glow, the beautiful and sacred figure of the Great Lord Rukkhadevata gradually appeared before everyone.
The Great Lord Rukkhadevata exuded an aura of life, as if she were the very source of life force in this world.
"This, this aura... are you?"
Feeling the rich, almost overflowing life aura from the Great Lord Rukkhadevata, as well as her noble status and temperament far surpassing mortals and transcending all things, the few 100,000-year immortal herbs that had already developed sentience were instantly terrified.
Their petals or leaves involuntarily trembled, revealing their extreme shock and fear.
It wasn't just these few 100,000-year immortal herbs; the moment the Great Lord Rukkhadevata appeared, all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shook violently.
They expressed their submission to the Great Lord Rukkhadevata in this manner. Even the two divine-grade immortal herbs, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, could no longer maintain their aloofness and arrogance, swaying obediently in the breeze as a sign of respect.
On this Douluo Continent, the existence of the Great Lord Rukkhadevata was like an absolute sovereign to all plant-type life forms, possessing irresistible deterrence.
At least on this planet, no plant-type life form could escape the Great Lord Rukkhadevata's control.
Even Shrek Academy's Golden Tree, if it weren't for his consideration of Sea God Tang San, he would truly dare to take the Great Lord Rukkhadevata to Shrek Academy and lure the Golden Tree back to St. Freya Academy.
Of course, if everything progressed smoothly, this matter might even become a reality in the future; it was just a matter of time.
Lu Jingming didn't pay much attention to the Great Lord Rukkhadevata's conversation with the immortal herbs. Instead, he turned his gaze to Gu Yue, and with a gentle smile, said, "Next up is you, Gu Yue."
"Me? You brought me here just for this valley?" Gu Yue's heart was filled with confusion.
This valley indeed had strange and precious scenery, with various rare immortal herbs growing everywhere. Any single one taken out could cause a huge stir on the continent.
But she simply couldn't understand what deep meaning Lu Jingming had in specifically bringing her here.
After all, throughout this journey, she felt like she was mostly just "playing soy sauce" (a Chinese idiom meaning to be a bystander or not play a significant role), not really contributing anything.
Lu Jingming leaned slightly closer to Gu Yue, his warm breath gently brushing her ear, whispering softly.
Despite Lu Jingming's slightly intimate action, Gu Yue felt a peculiar sensation in her heart but did not resist.
However, feeling the warmth against her ear, her cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.
Yet, when she heard what Lu Jingming said, her pupils instantly constricted, her eyes filled with shock.
"You actually know my identity! Since when?"
Although Gu Yue had previously had a vague suspicion that Lu Jingming might have detected her true identity, when Lu Jingming explicitly told her to release her Silver Dragon Martial Soul at this moment, she still couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the shock.
One must know that the martial soul she had always displayed externally was the Elementalist, and she had never revealed to anyone, nor exposed, that her true martial soul was the incomparably powerful Silver Dragon.
"Of course, from the very beginning. You wouldn't think the Simulated Universe's functions are really that simple, would you?" Lu Jingming explained with a slight smile, a hint of mystery in his grin.
Gu Yue's identity was naturally not discovered by him relying solely on the Simulated Universe, but the Simulated Universe indeed possessed powerful data analysis capabilities.
Once entered into the Simulated Universe, all data, including soul data, would be precisely collected by it.
As a clone created from a drop of the Silver Dragon King's divine blood, Gu Yue naturally couldn't escape the deep analysis of the Simulated Universe. All her information was clearly dissected.
With the existence of the Herta, in this world, very few things could escape the fate of being analyzed; almost no information was truly unknown.
Gu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, then she looked at Lu Jingming with a somewhat disdainful gaze.
This guy was simply too sinister. He actually used the Simulated Universe to gather intelligence, causing her to unknowingly have all her information collected.
At this rate, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, whose information wouldn't be collected?
Unless one never used the Simulated Universe their entire life, but for Soul Masters, this was almost impossible.
After all, no Soul Master could resist trying the convenience and opportunities provided by the Simulated Universe.
Since her identity had already been exposed, Gu Yue felt there was no longer a need to hide it.
Immediately, she unhesitatingly released her own martial soul.
In an instant, dazzling silver light flickered in the valley, and a magnificent Silver Dragon Spear appeared out of thin air in her hand.
At the same time, a giant and splendid silver dragon phantom slowly emerged behind her. A pair of delicate silver dragon horns quietly grew on Gu Yue's forehead, and a pair of small yet agile silver dragon wings sprouted on her back. With gentle flaps, they stirred up faint breezes.
As Gu Yue's aura was released, the previously calm red and white colored lake suddenly boiled like a heavy bomb had been dropped into it.
The lake water violently churned, accompanied by two deafening dragon roars. Two thick water columns, one red and one white, shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds, as if they wanted to break free from the valley's confines.
This sudden explosion of dragon roars instantly attracted everyone's attention. The Snow Empress's brows furrowed even more, her expression grave.
Because she clearly felt two very powerful auras surging from the lake. These two auras were in no way weaker than her own; in fact, they were much stronger than Dragon God Douluo Mu En, causing a sense of vigilance to rise in her heart.
Soon, water splashed everywhere, and two enormous dragons roared as they shot up from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the sky.
One dragon emanated an icy blue light, surrounded by an extremely chilling aura.
The other was fiery red all over, like flames, and a scorching hot aura swept forth, igniting the air wherever it passed.
