Chapter 186: I need to pass Tang San's test to obtain the Poison Scripture? No, what would I need that for?
The Soul Masters of the Underworld held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the sky.
They clearly remembered that when Huo Yuhao from the Black World first broke into this place, even with Wang Qiu'er risking her life to accompany him, it was only after expending a great deal of soul power and essence, and even facing life-or-death crises several times, that he finally managed to pass through this miasma forest with extreme difficulty.
"It's this miasma again..." a Soul Master from the underworld sighed softly.
"Bai Yuhao also encountered it. In our memory, this is a death trap that could even cause a Soul Saint to perish."
"I wonder what the situation is like for Bai Yuhao now? Will he pass like Hei Yuhao?"
The crowd's eyes were filled with curiosity, and then the scene in the sky gave everyone an answer that astonished them.
[In the scene, Bai Huoyuhao did not show any solemnity or tragic expression.]
He stopped at the edge of the miasma, a pale blue data stream flashing rapidly in his left double pupil, instantly completing a thermodynamic assessment of the toxin's activity.
The next second, Bai Huoyuhao made his move. He didn't use any complex defensive soul skills, but instead directly communicated with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea and instantly activated his Ice God Martial Soul.
Two extremely cold auras merged in the void, and centered on Bai Huoyuhao, a visible white cold current burst forward in a fan shape.
The absolute low temperature of the ice instantly stripped the toxin molecules of their kinetic energy upon contact with the miasma.
[Click—click—]
The continuous sound of ice forming echoed through the forest.
The originally swirling pale purple poisonous mist was instantly frozen into tiny ice crystals under the extreme low temperature.
Thick layers of ice rapidly spread across the ground and among the ancient trees, completely sealing off the source of the miasma. Within seconds, the toxin concentration in the surrounding area plummeted to a safe level.
Without any hesitation, Bai Huoyuhao immediately equipped himself with a set of silver-white battle armor.
The perfect seal of the metal layer prevented any residual physical penetration. He led Wang Dong'er across this area, considered a "death zone" in the underworld, as easily as if they were strolling in their own backyard.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld were once again engulfed in heated discussion, and this stark contrast made them feel a kind of cognitive tear.
"As expected of Bai Yuhao, his strength is far superior to Hei Yuhao's. He's completely dominating the field by relying on his physical attributes and knowledge."
"The problem that Hei Yuhao struggled to solve, and even needed Wang Qiu'er's help, was easily solved by him alone with Dong'er. The efficiency of his power is terrifying."
"However, the real test has only just begun. The miasma is merely a barrier; the divine herbs within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are the true challenge. I hope Bai Yuhao will have a smooth journey ahead as well."
[The video continues playing on the screen.]
[After passing through the frozen woodland, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's view suddenly opened up.]
A strange valley appeared before them, with a circular pool of water at the center of their vision.
One side of the pool was a blazing red, surging with heat; the other side was a deep milky white, chilling to the bone. At the heart of this interplay of ice and fire, countless rare and precious herbs, radiating a precious light, greedily devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Bai Huoyuhao landed safely with Wang Dong'er.
He stepped precisely on the safe nodes detected by the White Order, avoiding the aggressive plant roots. Soon, they arrived before a huge, pinkish-purple flower.
The large flower was over three meters in diameter, and its petals emitted a delightful, subtle fragrance.
[This is truly a fragrant and exquisite celestial product.]
["A human?" The large flower swayed slightly, and a clear, curious female voice rang in their minds. "I haven't seen a human pass through the miasma so quickly in a long time. You can call me Youyou."]
Huo Yuhao was very polite. He nodded slightly to Youyou and then got straight to the point: "Hello Youyou, my name is Huo Yuhao. I've come to inquire about the 'Heartbreak Grass.' I need it to heal something."
Upon hearing the words "lovesick heartbreak grass," Youyou's enormous flower stamen instantly contracted, its gaze shifting back and forth between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, its expression becoming unusually strange.
"The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass! So that's it, it's for this again." Youyou shook the petals, her tone carrying a ritualistic quality, "To find the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass, you must first obtain the legacy left by the Sea God. It was left here by the great Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago."
[The flower crown swayed gently, and the voice grew stern: "The Sea God has clearly stated that the immortal herb possesses a spirit, and only those with the right destiny can obtain it. To obtain the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass, you must first recognize it. The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass is only recorded in the 'Poison Scripture.' And the only way to obtain the 'Poison Scripture' is to accept the Sea God's test."]
"See these herbs at my feet, emitting a faint purplish-black glow?" A chilling voice pointed to several terrifyingly poisonous plants nearby. "These are the rules set by the Sea God: if you dare to ingest this poison and survive, then you possess the courage to face death, proving the sincerity of your feelings. Only then are you qualified to peruse the Book of Poisons and search for the immortal herbs. Do you dare to try?"
In the darkness, the previously noisy Soul Masters all fell silent at this moment.
Sure enough, the plot returned to this suffocating decision point.
In the memories of all the dark world soul masters, it was here that the Black Huo Yuhao of that period swallowed the deadly poison without hesitation for that faint hope.
"Does Huo Yuhao from the White World also have to be like this?"
"If you want to pick flowers, do you have to take this self-harming path?"
Tang San looked at the sky in the God Realm, his palms already slightly sweaty.
He desperately wanted Bai Huoyuhao to take the poison, because if Bai Huoyuhao did, it would prove that his rules could still supersede the Bai Order.
But what happened next in the sky left the soul masters of the underworld looking at each other in bewilderment, their gazes becoming extremely strange.
[In the scene, Bai Huoyuhao listened quietly to Youyou's explanation of the rules regarding "poisoning, sincerity, and the Poison Manual." He showed no signs of excitement or fearlessness.]
He simply stood there, looking at Youyou with an expression as if she were an idiot, his tone filled with utter helplessness and bewilderment.
"Does it have to be this complicated?" Bai Huoyuhao frowned and asked, his expression as if he were looking at an extremely redundant and illogical administrative procedure. "Isn't it unnecessary? I know what the Lovesick Heartbreak Grass looks like, and I know its coordinates. Can't we just go directly there?"
[The enormous pinkish-purple flower crown of Youyou froze completely in mid-air due to extreme shock.]
["???"]
