This was something Bibi Dong had arranged personally for him. Now that he had found a blessed cultivation ground, he could continue cultivating the Indestructible Body.
Ever since completing the first major cultivation realm, even Mo BotJiang Xi's resentment had been unable to directly harm Jiang Xiaofeng. In other words, based on his physical strength alone, Jiang Xiaofeng already possessed the power of a Soul King. If he went all out, even a true Soul King wouldn't be a match for him!
But for Jiang Xiaofeng, that still wasn't enough. Only when he could move mountains and fill seas, split rivers with a single sword, could he speak proudly.
"Respected guests, the opponent list for the next match has been released. Please be prepared!"
Mo Bot nodded and said, "Hmm, time to go. Remember what I said earlier—cooperate, cooperate. Don't act on your own. Understand?"
"Yes!"
This time, their opponents were again a full Soul Sect team. They had participated in nearly 500 battles with a win rate of about 60%. It was a rather formidable team, especially known for their coordination, which was clearly stronger than Jiang Xiaofeng's team.
Although they could've easily overpowered the team with brute strength, for the sake of team integrity and cooperation, they completed the match in a coordinated way.
To outsiders, the battle looked spectacular, with back-and-forth action. But to experienced soul masters, it was obvious the Fengshen Team was suppressing their true power.
Their reason was simple—if they ever encountered a team of equal strength, coordination would be the key to victory.
No matter how powerful an individual is, in front of a well-coordinated team, they can at best only struggle for a little longer.
Three days later, Jiang Xiaofeng boarded a carriage.
Hu Liena said reluctantly, "Leaving again? Is it going to be like the Death Canyon trip last time?"
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head. Now that he had found a place to cultivate, he had to hurry there. After all, age was becoming a greater barrier to cultivation. The sooner he acted, the better.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You all keep training. Wolf Third, you take a spot on the team."
Wolf Third looked bitter. "Brother Feng, how can I do that? You're the almighty War God, and I'm just a foot soldier!"
"Haha, even foot soldiers can create miracles. Believe in yourself!"
Mo Bot added, "When you return, we'll be changing locations."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, waved to the group, and entered the carriage.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Watching Jiang Xiaofeng's carriage leave, Hu Liena huffed, "Teacher is so biased!"
Mo Bot sighed. "His Holiness the Pope is merely fulfilling the Holy Son's request—she found the secret realm where the Holy Son will cultivate. You know he has his own unique training methods, especially for physical cultivation. Even I haven't figured out exactly how the Holy Son trains."
Hu Liena pouted. "What else could it be? He's just really good at taking a beating!"
Mo Bot laughed. "Not wrong. It's just that the Holy Son's ability to take hits is terrifying—I can't even break through his defenses."
"What?!"
Everyone present was stunned. They had just learned that Jiang Xiaofeng could already go toe-to-toe with a Soul King-level powerhouse. His talent was terrifying.
"Brother Feng is a total freak! How is he so monstrous?!"
Hu Liena smiled. "Not a freak—he's just working hard to get stronger. We can't fall behind. Instructor Mo Bot, increase our training intensity!"
Voluntarily asking for more training wasn't new for Hu Liena, but the Tiger Brothers trio looked ready to collapse. It was already intense enough—how could they make it harder?
Mo Bot nodded. "Alright. Let's go. Starting today, we revise the training plan."
Inside the carriage.
"A secret realm in the Sunset Forest? Is it deep inside?"
"Replying to Holy Son: it's relatively remote. It was originally occupied by a Titled Douluo—Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo. His Holiness the Pope specifically took it from him for your use."
Jiang XiaofengI am from was surprised. So it had been taken from someone else? That made sense—such blessed lands were usually occupied by powerful individuals. Still, a Titled Douluo?
"What happened to that Titled Douluo in the end?"
"Dugu Bo had a personal grudge with our Elder Yueguan of the Spirit Hall. But because he was a guest of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, he was ultimately let go."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. Clearly, the Heaven Dou Empire had significant power; otherwise, Bibi Dong wouldn't have allowed an enemy to escape.
"Holy Son, be cautious. That secret realm is strange, especially the lake within—it's half yin, half yang, half ice, half fire. Just approaching it can either freeze your body or burn it. Standing in the middle, one side of your body is frozen, the other scalded."
Jiang Xiaofeng was shocked.
"The legendary Eyes of Ice and Fire?! This is the perfect location to temper one's body—I can't believe it really exists."
"Holy Son, what exactly are the Eyes of Ice and Fire?"
Jiang Xiaofeng replied, "You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just remember—never stay near that lake for too long. It's deadly!"
"Understood. Thank you for the warning, Holy Son."
As the carriage sped along, Jiang Xiaofeng's heart had already flown ahead—to the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
In his past life, his second cultivation stage was completed by relying on all sorts of rare medicinal herbs. The price? He was hunted down. The reason was simple—all those herbs were controlled by noble bloodline clans and sects, so he had to steal them.
Even though he successfully cleared the stage, he still couldn't break into the final major realm—the third realm of the Indestructible Body, Rebirth by Blood.
The main reason? He hadn't found the Eyes of Ice and Fire described in the manual. He'd used countless rare herbs to push through the second realm, Power of All Things.
But this time, Jiang Xiaofeng was absolutely confident he could enter the third major realm: Rebirth by Blood.
After a day's journey, the carriage stopped at the edge of Sunset Forest.
"Holy Son, we've arrived. We'll have to proceed on foot from here."
Jiang Xiaofeng stepped down and followed the guard slowly into the forest.
At this point, Jiang Xiaofeng's appearance had changed dramatically. It was hard to link him to the previous Holy Son.
The people of Sunset Forest only knew this man was from the Spirit Hall, probably here after a breakthrough to look for a suitable spirit ring.
No one suspected that this was the long-missing Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
With the guard leading the way, they arrived at a sheer cliff.
"Holy Son, be careful. This place used to be filled with deadly poisons. We've cleared a lot of it, but still, don't touch anything carelessly. Even a Soul Douluo could be poisoned here."
Jiang Xiaofeng was surprised. How could such a toxic place contain the Eyes of Ice and Fire? Truly odd.
"Does Holy Son find it strange?"
"Yes, this doesn't seem like a naturally toxic place."
"Of course not. The reason lies with that Titled Douluo—his poisons are among the most terrifying on the continent. Granted, their effects are limited on fellow Titled Douluos, but below that level, they're deadly."
That made sense. A poison master of Titled Douluo rank was a lethal force in team battles. One burst of poison, and all soul masters below Titled Douluo would be doomed!
Having such a person as an enemy was dangerous. If they ever faced him again, he'd have to be taken out first!
