Xu Tianyang then proceeded to collect seeds from and excavate other immortal herbs such as the Narcissus Jade Bone, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Primordial Immortal Grass, Marvelous Chrysanthemum, and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
Afterward, Xu Tianyang approached an ordinary-looking white flower. This flower resembled a peony, had no leaves, and its stem was connected to a large, entirely black stone.
It was none other than the legendary King of Immortal Herbs, the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"Little Tianyang, this is the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the legendary flower of ultimate love and devotion, which only blooms for true love. Do you want to try it? Or take it back for your little girlfriend to try?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at Xu Tianyang, a hint of teasing in its tone.
"Why don't you try testing your own sincerity towards the Ice Empress?" Xu Tianyang calmly glanced at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his tranquil gaze causing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart to involuntarily skip a beat.
"Sincerity is most afraid of tests." Before Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could answer, Xu Tianyang said with a faint sigh.
"Why?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm blurted out, asking in confusion.
"I don't deny that pure, selfless, and truly devoted love exists in the world, where one is willing to die for their other half. However, love that is mixed with other things, yet still involves mutual trust and reliance, is also a form of love, even if it's not entirely pure."
"I know Nianshuang likes me, but is there also a desire to repay her mother's kindness mixed in?
These things shouldn't be thought about too deeply. The human heart is complex and the most susceptible to tests. Sometimes, breaking through that thin veil can actually drive people further apart."
Hearing Xu Tianyang's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trembled violently. It began to recall its memories with the Ice Empress. Was its love for the Ice Empress truly pure?
Putting away the Yearning Heartbroken Red, Xu Tianyang approached the last two immortal herbs he had yet to pick.
The qiluo tulip and the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb.
The former is hailed as the King of Immortal Herbs, capable of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, refining the brilliance of the sun and moon, and can cure all poisons in the world. The latter is the chief of all flowers, capable of countering all poisons in the world, and possesses the effect of neutralizing extreme energies.
Both their names and effects are very similar. Is there some connection between them?
He only knew that the qiluo tulip could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. As for its connection with the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, he was unaware.
Unable to figure it out for now, Xu Tianyang didn't trouble himself. After collecting these last two immortal herbs, he arrived at the spring eye of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
From the moment he arrived until now, Electrolux had been staying here, gazing at the spring eye below, as if trying to see through the spring water to the secrets at its bottom.
"Elder Ilie!" He called out softly.
Electrolux turned his head to look at Xu Tianyang and said, "Have you made up your mind?"
"I also really want to know what caused this treasure land."
"Leave the rest to this old man." Electrolux smiled and nodded, transforming into a gray stream of light that entered Xu Tianyang's body.
The next moment, a dense gray aura surged within Xu Tianyang's body, and his eyes also turned a dull gray.
"Plop!"
As a string of bubbles rose, Xu Tianyang's figure disappeared into the water. The entire canyon once again fell silent, with the herbs swaying in the wind.
"It's much colder down here." Feeling the biting cold spring water, the Yin Yang Dual Pupils' ice attribute spirit power surged, dispelling the chill within Xu Tianyang's body, followed by a feeling of being in his element.
After an unknown period of descent, Xu Tianyang felt the ice and fire attribute spirit power within him become somewhat excited, as if it had encountered someone familiar.
"We're almost there!"
Electrolux's voice rang out at the opportune moment, and a gray light shield condensed around Xu Tianyang's body, protecting him.
After descending another thousand meters, Xu Tianyang took a deep breath as he gazed at the colossal 'iceberg' before him, even though he had been prepared.
What met his eyes was a gigantic dragon skeleton, still covered in dense ice-blue scales. Upon closer inspection, even tendons were visible, and the thick dragon bones within were strikingly prominent.
Boundless extreme cold energy emanated from this dragon skeleton, gathering into swirling white vortices above it.
The extreme ice seeped out during the rotation, merging into the surrounding frigid ice spring water. The energy from this giant dragon's corpse was nourishing the growth of the immortal herbs.
It was precisely the source that created the ice spring.
"How is this possible? How can there be such a pure dragon here!!!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's horrified voice rang out, an incredulous look flashing in its small eyes.
Even though the Water Dragon King had been dead for an unknown number of years, that terrifying dragon might still caused Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to tremble. It had never felt so insignificant at this moment.
Its nearly million years of cultivation were incomparable before the Water Dragon King.
"It's actually the remains of a God-level dragon, and two of them." Electrolux's voice followed. Unbeknownst to Xu Tianyang, a staff had appeared in his hand, and as he looked at the distant corpses of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
God-level remains! What excellent raw materials for undead creatures! Even in his lifetime, he had never encountered such a thing. At this moment, Electrolux was deeply moved.
"Tianyang, what do you think about refining it into an undead creature?"
Hearing Electrolux's suggestion, Xu Tianyang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trembled violently, looking at Electrolux in shock. These were the remains of a God King-level being, and Elder Ilie was actually so audacious.
"No, this true dragon might not be completely dead yet." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was startled and shouted.
Indeed, at the Water Dragon King's head, a dragon soul, shrunk countless times, stood proudly with an incomparably majestic expression, carrying the inherent arrogance of a dragon, and an indescribable Domineering in its dragon eyes.
"Elder Ilie, do you see if these two still have consciousness?" Xu Tianyang's gaze swept over the dragon soul as he asked softly.
"There are still remnants of consciousness, but they should be in a deep slumber now, and their remaining source power is gradually dissipating.
Perhaps in another thousand or ten thousand years, the consciousness within its dragon soul will completely vanish, and these remains will completely evolve into the spring eye of this ice spring." Electrolux extended his divine sense, observed carefully, and then said.
"Then can it be awakened?"
"This old man will try." Electrolux nodded slightly, holding the Staff of Undead, and pointed it at the Water Dragon King's dragon soul, tentatively attempting to communicate with the Water Dragon King's soul.
A moment later, the Water Dragon King turned, its gaze falling upon the two, devoid of any emotion. A majestic voice rang out, "Human God?"
The Water Dragon King stared at Electrolux, and instantly, a powerful pressure swept over them.
"Roar!" Immediately after, a resounding dragon roar echoed, and layers of spring water continuously surged, causing the entire ice spring to become turbulent, as if welcoming its king.
"Hmph, even dead, you dare to act fierce in front of this old man?!"
