"This is the legendary Nine Serene Spring."

Looking at the yellow lake ahead, Wei Yang and the others couldn’t help feeling curious as they slowly walked closer.

As they drew nearer to the Nine Serene Spring, they could clearly sense an obscure yet terrifying force of extreme yin and extreme cold continuously drilling into their bodies.

This extreme yin and cold was incredibly frightening. Once it seeped into a person, it felt as if it wanted to freeze their blood, Dou Qi, and even their soul solid.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both frowned slightly. They circulated the Heavenly Flames within their bodies, quickly burning away and dispersing the invading cold energy. Medusa, Qing Lin, and Ah Da, on the other hand, felt much more comfortable.

The three of them closed their eyes slightly, carefully sensing the yin-cold energy entering their bodies, and a faintly joyful expression appeared on their faces. This yin-cold aura was a great tonic for the three of them, a high-quality form of energy.

Wuuuuu~

With a wailing sound like ghosts crying, a layer of black wind gradually rose on Ah Da’s skin.

The black wind writhed and howled, looking unusually active and delighted. Clearly, this extreme yin and cold force was also a great tonic for the Nine Serene Wind Flame. Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help smiling a little.

Xiao Yan scanned the surroundings and said softly, "This place is too cold. The environment is downright hostile. Even the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan can’t endure staying here for long. Unless it’s under very special circumstances, almost no serpent comes here. That gives us plenty of time."

Everyone nodded slightly. Even with Wei Yang and Xiao Yan’s current strength, staying in a place like this still caused them some discomfort. That alone spoke volumes.

But Medusa, Qing Lin, and Ah Da could fully take advantage of this environment to enter seclusion and break through. For the three of them, this high-quality yin-cold force was practically an endless fountain of energy.

Xiao Yan walked in with curiosity and stopped beside the Nine Serene Spring. He crouched down and dipped his hand into the water. At once, a sizzling sound rang out as deep yellow ice crystals rapidly formed and crawled up his arm.

A flash of shock passed through Xiao Yan’s eyes. He quickly withdrew his arm, staring at the ice crystals still spreading across his skin.

"Incredible. No wonder teacher said even an ordinary Dou Sheng can’t reach the bottom of this spring."

With that, he circulated his Heavenly Flame and released it outward, instantly melting the ice crystals.

"Senior Brother, this Nine Serene Spring is no joke." Xiao Yan shook his slightly numb arm and turned his head.

"What does it feel like?" Wei Yang walked closer and asked.

"It’s fine. Shouldn’t be a big problem," Xiao Yan estimated after thinking a bit.

"Good."

Wei Yang nodded and immediately made arrangements.

"Xiao Yan and I will go to the bottom of the Springs first to retrieve the Spring Blood Crystal. Medusa, Qing Lin, Ah Da, you three stay here. Once we succeed, then you can enter the springs to cultivate. We’ll guard you when the time comes."

"Alright." The three nodded.

"You two be careful. If it’s truly impossible, back out immediately. After we break through to Ban Sheng, we can go down ourselves and collect the Spring Blood Crystal." Medusa and Qing Lin couldn’t help warning them.

Both women looked solemn, worry evident in their hearts. The extreme yin and cold of the Nine Serene Spring was simply too terrifying. It was hard to believe such an extreme place existed in the world.

At first, Medusa had doubted Yao Lao’s claim that this place could help her absorb the Nine-Colored Origin Stone and evolve into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. But seeing it now, it just might really be possible.

Similarly, Qing Lin would likely be able to refine and strengthen her bloodline here.

Therefore, after the two of them cultivated and stepped into the Ban Sheng realm, with their bloodlines and physiques, they should have enough confidence to dive into the bottom of the springs.

"Relax. With senior brother and me, plus our Heavenly Flames protecting us, it shouldn’t be too hard." Xiao Yan laughed.

Wei Yang also smiled and nodded.

The two of them were hardly ordinary Dou Shengs. On top of that, Heavenly Flames protected their bodies. There was no way they would fail to withstand the cold of the Nine Serene Spring.

"When we enter the Nine Serene Spring, hide yourselves first in case someone spots you," Wei Yang reminded them.

Then the two stopped wasting time. With a thought, black flames and purple-brown flames seeped out of every pore on their bodies, spreading and wrapping around them.

Sssssss~

The terrifying heat of the Heavenly Flames collided with the cold aura around them, erupting into a billowing cloud of white mist.

"Let’s go!"

They exchanged a look, let out a slow breath, and nodded. Their figures flickered, and the two of them leaped straight into the Nine Serene Spring.

Splash!

As yellow water splashed upward, the two of them shot downward like lightning, sinking rapidly toward the depths of the Springs.

Ssss!

The moment they entered the Nine Serene Spring, the collision between their Heavenly Flames and the lake water caused two thick columns of white vapor to surge upward from the lake surface.

Bubbles gurgled and burst as the water churned violently. This was the result of the Heavenly Flames clashing with the extreme cold of the lake.

Seeing this, Medusa flicked her jade-like hand. Two streaks of seven-colored energy swept out, instantly dispersing the white vapor columns.

Only when the two columns vanished entirely as Wei Yang and Xiao Yan sank deeper did she finally let out a small breath of relief. She then turned her beautiful gaze toward Qing Lin and Ah Da.

"Let’s hide for now. We’ll move after the two of them return."

"Alright." Qing Lin and Ah Da both nodded.

The next moment, their figures flickered and slipped into the surrounding darkness. Space twisted slightly around them as they concealed their tracks and completely suppressed their auras.

Seeing this, Medusa also moved lightly, retreating into a shadowed corner and vanishing. In an instant, the bottom of this abyss, beside the Nine Serene Spring, returned to its previous silence.

Aside from the sound of the cold wind, there was nothing else.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the seemingly murky deep yellow lake water, two figures flashed past like lightning, diving straight downward. Flames coiled around their bodies. Each time they touched the icy water, sizzling sounds erupted sharply.

"No wonder it’s the Nine Serene Spring. The yin-cold energy here is unbelievably terrifying!"

As they advanced, both their expressions gradually grew solemn. The deeper they went, the more horrifying the cold became.

Even with the Heavenly Flames protecting them, they still felt numbness creeping into their limbs. The Dou Qi that normally flowed smoothly through their bodies was beginning to slow, almost as if it were freezing.

The two exchanged a silent glance and nodded.

"Looks like we need to speed up. Staying here too long isn’t a good idea!"

Using a Heavenly Flame to resist this icy energy consumed Dou Qi at an alarming rate.

In fact, the pace of consumption wasn’t any less than what one would expend fighting an evenly matched opponent—and here, the drain was constant, second after second, without pause.

The terrifying yin-cold force eroded them relentlessly. Although the two of them were now Dou Sheng, possessing Dou Qi vast as the sea and able to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth...

In the Nine Serene Spring, all surrounding energy was extreme yin and extreme cold. This was energy they could neither control nor absorb. That meant every bit of Dou Qi they consumed was simply gone, impossible to replenish unless they used pills.

Realizing this, the two instantly accelerated again.

Two deep trails were carved through the water behind them. Only after they had traveled far ahead did the lake water finally surge back in, erasing the traces.
