With Jiang Chen's current speed as the number one on the continent, he set out in the early morning and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by noon.
This time, he went directly above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and discovered numerous imperial personnel researching there.
Among the researching crowd were Bishop Salas, a Title Douluo elder guarding the place, and several alchemists.
For the convenience of alchemy, the empire had established an alchemy branch in the Sacred Hall of Heaven Dou City. These alchemists were from the Heaven Dou alchemy branch.
Salas had made great contributions in the Heaven Dou plan in previous years and had already received generous rewards, becoming a Title Douluo.
He could have returned to Spirit City to become an elder, but he preferred life in Heaven Dou City, so he stayed.
"How is it? Have you found out the reason?" Salas asked.
Before them, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which originally presented the shape of a Taiji yin-yang fish, had lost its original form. The crimson half was gone.
At this moment, only white spring water remained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, emitting an extremely icy aura.
All the medicinal herbs that originally grew on the fire spring side had withered, while those on the ice spring side were growing vigorously.
Inside this small valley, it was more terrifying than the depths of winter. An ordinary person entering would likely turn into an ice sculpture immediately.
Without the energy suppression emitted by the Fire Dragon King's corpse, the terror of the ice energy was fully displayed.
Several personnel responsible for the inspection said in heavy tones: "We have been checking here for a day and found that the fire-attribute energy rising from underground is gradually weakening. The original balance of ice and fire coexistence has been broken. If it continues to develop like this, it won't be long before the entire Sunset Forest becomes like an ice-sealed forest."
Salas furrowed his brows, the wrinkles on his aged face deepening. "Is there a way to solve it?"
"There is no way. This spring water is too terrifying, let alone the underground. This matter is not something we can solve."
Salas sighed and said: "Then report it back to Spirit City and have His Majesty send people to handle it."
Three days had already passed since Jiang Chen's great battle that day. The disappearance of the Fire Dragon King's corpse causing such an effect was not strange.
Jiang Chen knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was already ruined.
Such a precious land being destroyed was truly a pity, but it was also an unavoidable matter.
Besides, he had brought the art of alchemy to this world, which was far superior to any number of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Wells.
He descended from the air.
"His Highness the Holy Son has arrived." Salas said in surprise.
He had just been troubled about how to report this matter when Jiang Chen appeared.
Jiang Chen said directly: "You all harvest these medicinal herbs. From now on, this place will become an ordinary location."
Under the questioning of those alchemists, he did not mention the matter of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, only saying that he had already investigated previously and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been damaged. It would not be long before the ice energy completely disappeared as well.
Those alchemists immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet in grief and regret.
To them, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a divine land, yet it was about to disappear.
They had no choice but to harvest all the surviving medicinal herbs.
Jiang Chen paid them no further attention. Leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he found an uninhabited place and began diving downward.
Before long, he once again entered that space.
Inside, only the ten-thousand-zhang-long Ice Dragon corpse remained. Of the Fire Dragon corpse, only a layer of dragon skin was left.
Without any hesitation, he directly drilled into the Ice Dragon's body and began absorbing that vast and boundless blood and flesh essence, rapidly elevating his zombie cultivation.
The massive ice-attribute energy within the Ice Dragon's body began to wash over and temper his physical body.
With the great tonic of the Ice Dragon's blood and flesh essence, the damage from these ice-attribute energies to him was limited.
Last time, while absorbing the Fire Dragon King's essence, he had also endured the tempering of terrifying fire-attribute energy.
The blood and flesh essence elevated him from within, while the ice and fire energies were external forces acting upon his body, promoting the absorption of the blood and flesh essence.
Only by using both approaches together could the speed and effect of absorption reach the maximum.
This time, without the life-and-death pressure of being hunted by the Sea God, Jiang Chen's mind relaxed, carefully observing the various changes in himself.
His body was evolving rapidly. Whether in strength or the toxins within his body, it was a comprehensive elevation.
Several hours later, that massive Ice Dragon corpse was likewise absorbed by him until only a layer of skin remained.
Jiang Chen's strength once again rose by a large margin. As for exactly how strong, he could not estimate.
But he could be certain that the current him could absolutely smash Tang San, who had been possessed by the Sea God a few days ago, with a single punch.
Just then, Jiang Chen felt something and immediately entered the system space.
Violent changes had actually occurred within this system space.
The white dense fog at the edges suddenly began to slowly recede.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed in his heart and immediately went to the position of that enormous black shadow that he had vaguely seen through the white fog before.
This white fog was finally beginning to dissipate. He could finally see what that massive black shadow was.
While waiting, he also observed the entire space.
He discovered that besides the white fog on all sides, the white fog overhead was also rising. The entire space was expanding outward.
The white fog slowly receded, and Jiang Chen advanced toward that enormous black shadow.
He suddenly discovered that the position of that black shadow was actually very far. Only after this space expanded to a diameter of a thousand meters did the true face of that black shadow reveal itself.
The space was still slowly expanding, but Jiang Chen was shocked by the object before his eyes.
This object's surface was circular, with diameters up and down and left and right both reaching a hundred meters, emitting intense golden light and extremely terrifying pressure.
Previously shrouded by the white fog, this golden light could not disperse, so Jiang Chen could only see the appearance of a black shadow.
What shocked Jiang Chen was that this degree of pressure was something he had never felt before.
In his perception, the pressure of this golden object had already surpassed the Asura God, surpassed the pressure of the Heavenly Dao during tribulation, far surpassing it by too much.
But strangely, this pressure was not directed at him. Instead, it gave him a sense of familiarity, as if this thing belonged to him.
In the midst of his mental shock, Jiang Chen urgently wanted to know the information about this object.
He walked a circle around this surface-circular object and discovered that this object was only circular in the front, while the back was concave, as if a ball had a small face cut off, or rather, this was a shell.
"Is there a ball this large?" Jiang Chen muttered, not recognizing what this thing was.
This seemed to be a part of some circular object, with a diameter actually reaching a hundred meters.
Out of reverence for that pressure, he did not rashly contact this thing. Instead, he slowly flew up, wanting to observe from a farther distance.
When he was a hundred meters away, he suddenly trembled all over, his eyes bursting with incredulous light.
Looking from afar, the shape of this object gave rise to a terrifying thought in his mind.
This piece of thing was actually a piece of skull!
To be precise, this was a piece of frontal bone.
Jiang Chen had killed quite a few people and was very familiar with human body structure. The external form of this object was extremely similar to a human frontal bone, only magnified several hundred times.
A frontal bone a hundred meters wide, exactly what kind of terrifying creature would have such a large head?
Jiang Chen was horrified in his heart. Based on this frontal bone, he could infer that the head of the owner of this frontal bone had a diameter of at least a hundred meters. This was even more shocking than the two ten-thousand-zhang dragon corpses he had seen before.
After all, those were divine dragons. Jiang Chen felt it was only natural for divine dragons to possess ten-thousand-zhang-long bodies.
But the heads of those two divine dragons were not this large either.
Although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' bodies were long, the diameter of their heads was only around thirty meters, much smaller than this frontal bone.
And most importantly, this frontal bone was extremely similar to a human's.
Jiang Chen dared not imagine that if this frontal bone truly belonged to a humanoid creature, to what extent its body size would reach.
It was probably a terrifying giant comparable to mountains.
"No, this is not necessarily a frontal bone. Perhaps it is just a substance with a similar shape."
"System, what exactly is this thing?" Jiang Chen finally remembered to ask the system.
"The master only needs to touch it with his hand to obtain the item information." the system replied.
Jiang Chen relaxed. Since the system told him to touch it, that meant this thing posed no threat to him.
He came before this enormous frontal bone and reached out to touch it.
At this moment, his heart strongly throbbed.
Just as the system said, the instant he touched it, a stream of information appeared in his mind.
[Pangu God's Frontal Bone, extremely hard, invulnerable to all methods, can be fused…]
Jiang Chen looked and looked, gradually becoming stunned.
Pangu God, was that the Pangu who split heaven and earth?
But wasn't that a character from the mythological legends of his previous life?
Jiang Chen was extremely shocked. Even the frontal bone of the Great God Pangu had appeared. What origin did this system have? And why had it chosen him?
After a long while, Jiang Chen calmed down and began reading the fusion method that appeared in his mind.
From this information, he learned that as long as he fused this Pangu God's frontal bone, he would break through the restrictions of this world.
However, to achieve one hundred percent fusion, he needed his zombie cultivation to break through to the twelfth rank before it could be done.
Jiang Chen was ecstatic with joy. If he fused this Pangu frontal bone, he probably could stand there and not need to worry even if all the gods of the God Realm attacked.
However, this fusion was not that easy.
The higher his zombie cultivation, the faster the fusion speed.
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, he turned his gaze to the other few objects that had appeared after the system space expanded.
With a thought, he arrived before those few objects.
Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled. These were actually several pools with diameters of over two meters.
Inside the pools were multicolored liquids of five colors, emitting an aura that made one's soul extremely comfortable.
This liquid looked very similar to the tribulation lightning liquid Jiang Chen had previously obtained, but the aura was different.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows and scooped it up with his hand, but no information appeared in his mind.
"System, what is this liquid?"
The system remained silent and did not answer.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to abandon the idea of getting an answer from the system.
With a thought, he controlled a strand of liquid to directly act upon his own body.
What puzzled him was that after this liquid entered his body, it actually caused no change at all.
He had no choice but to abandon the exploration of this mysterious liquid.
Over so many years, with his understanding of the system, the things the system did not tell him must be because the time for him to know had not yet arrived.
When the suitable opportunity came, he would definitely know the answer.
He looked around. The expansion of the space had already stopped.
What surprised him was that the system space, which originally had a diameter of three hundred meters, had now reached a diameter of ten thousand meters.
Such a vast space truly made him feel somewhat inconceivable.
He controlled the white fog drifting within the space to cover those several multicolored small pools, then withdrew.
He looked at the remaining dragon scales of the two giant dragons, pondered for a moment, and stored them into the system space.
The purpose of this trip was finally completed. Jiang Chen exited the underground and returned to the surface of Sunset Forest.
The sky had already darkened. Those alchemists had already harvested all the medicinal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and that guarding elder had also left.
"Time to go back and diligently cultivate with Xue'er and Senior Sister." Jiang Chen revealed a smile, summoned Qiongqi, and flew toward the direction of Spirit City.
At this time, his strength had once again greatly increased, and time was not so urgent. It was just night, so he could cultivate for a night on Qiongqi's back and return to Spirit City tomorrow.
Just then, the Asura God's voice rang out: "I have checked with the God of Kindness. When you initially went to Sea God Island, the God of Destruction once went to the Committee Headquarters and left without saying anything. He should have been the one who caused the Heaven Monitoring Mirror to malfunction at that time, leading to the God of Kindness not discovering the divine senses of the Sea God and the others descending upon Douluo Continent."
Immediately after, he sighed and continued: "Unfortunately, we were unable to find out exactly what method the God of Destruction used to interfere with the Heaven Monitoring Mirror. However, you can rest assured. I have already made the God of Evil and the God of Kindness vigilant against the God of Destruction. The previous incident will not happen again."
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Senior, I have now absorbed the Ice Dragon King's corpse. If the Sea God's divine sense descends again, he will only have the portion of being violently beaten by me. You need not worry, unless they dare to descend upon Douluo Continent with their true bodies. Otherwise, I should no longer be in danger."
The Asura God said: "You can rest assured. No matter who it is, as long as a true body enters Douluo Continent, the Three Great Law Enforcers and the Two Great God Kings will sense it. No one dares to do so."
Only then did Jiang Chen relax and ask: "Senior, has the matter of my teacher been investigated clearly?"
"There are some leads." the Asura God said. "Give me some more time, and I will give you a reply."
"Then I will trouble Senior."
"No need to be polite. You quickly elevated your cultivation. Eh, you have reached rank ninety-eight?"
"Reached it last night." Jiang Chen answered with a smile.
"Mm, not bad. When you elevate one more rank, I will let you receive the final inheritance."
...
After the conversation ended, in the Asura God's palace, the Asura God's true body walked out.
He had not left his own palace for many years. Usually, when enforcing the law or standing guard, he condensed a divine sense clone.
He stood at the palace entrance, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, departing in a certain direction.
He was going to find a long-time enemy who had entangled with him for countless years, the Rakshasa God.
Actually, the matter of Bibi Dong had already been investigated clearly by him. It was just that this matter involved the Rakshasa God, so he had to personally make a trip.
Although going this time might again invite cold mockery and sarcasm, for the sake of Jiang Chen, what did it matter to lower his posture a bit?
Actually… he also somewhat wanted to see that crazy woman.
