Chapter 173 The Abnormality of the Flower Sea
The location of Sunset Forest is not far from Tiandou City.
On their way to Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao and his group even encountered members of the Heavenly Soul Royal Knights.
Huo Yuhao greeted Mo Xue with a smile, and then, citing his upcoming journey to the far north, continued his northward travel.
Finally, just before entering the Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Royal Knights.
He sighed inwardly, "They're really telling more and more lies."
"When you were fabricating Di Tian's backstory, why did you choose Sunset Forest of all places?"
"If there really is an ice and fire Yin-Yang Well inside, I can't utilize it by myself."
Although Sunset Forest is not as large as Starry Sky Forest, it is still quite extensive.
However, the vegetation and the variety of spirit beasts there are far less abundant compared to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao had been walking around here for a long time, and most of the creatures he encountered were ten-year-old soul beasts with weak cultivation. They were so frightened by just a glance at the three of them that they fled in panic.
It wasn't until they ventured deep into the Sunset Forest that they finally encountered a thousand-year-old soul beast, though it wasn't a particularly powerful species.
Xue Di remained silent throughout the journey, hardly uttering a single word.
Huo Yuhao could understand Xue Di's emotions.
As the saying goes, "to see the whole leopard from a single spot," Sunset Forest, in a sense, can be considered a microcosm of how Soul Masters destroy the habitats of Soul Beasts.
If this situation is not changed, then the current state of Sunset Forest will be the future of the Far North and Starry Sky Forest.
Xue Di felt Huo Yuhao's gaze and chuckled softly, "I believe you."
"If even the Martial Ancestor's successors can't do this, then no one else on the Douluo Continent will be able to do it."
"No matter what his reasons are for betting on you, at least on this matter, he thinks the same way I do."
As Huo Yuhao and his companions ventured deeper into the Sunset Forest, the number of soul beasts not only failed to increase but actually decreased to the point that the forest could be described as desolate.
"It seems that the scarcity of spirit beasts in Sunset Forest is not only related to spirit masters hunting them."
Electrox looked at the undulating white miasma in front of him: "This miasma is highly poisonous, and can even corrode metal. With the cultivation level of the soul beasts in Sunset Forest, anyone who breathes into this miasma will definitely die from the poison."
"And when their corpses decompose, they exacerbate the miasma."
"If this continued, the interior of Sunset Forest would naturally become a desolate wasteland."
The three of them rose to a high altitude to observe.
In the eyes of the three, as the Sunset Forest spread, the miasma grew thicker and thicker, eventually forming an impenetrable fog that rose and fell slowly in the air like clouds.
At the edge of this thick fog, vibrant colors could be faintly seen churning.
"That should be the sea of seven wonders of the Azure Phosphorescent Flower that the teacher mentioned."
Huo Yuhao said, "For ten thousand years, only my teacher and my senior master have relied on the poison of the Life and Death Tribulation to cross the poisonous miasma and reach there."
"If I'm not mistaken, that sea of flowers is the source of this miasma. It's the True Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, which wiped out the soul beasts inside Sunset Forest and is one of the most poisonous plants on Douluo Continent."
Its poison is extremely corrosive, and can be called the most corrosive poison in the Douluo Continent.
The Snow Emperor raised her hand and unleashed a blizzard, dispersing the thick miasma in front of the three of them.
The three of them flew straight towards the sea of Bilin Seven Wonders Flower.
Only when the Snow Empress opened the Snow Dance Radiant Sun Domain could Huo Yuhao be protected from the deadly poison there.
The colorful poisonous miasma here was so dense that even Xue Di and Ilex were alarmed.
The sea of Bilin Seven Wonders flowers is at least a thousand meters wide, densely distributed in front of the canyon, with at least tens of thousands of them.
Among them were hundreds or even thousands of Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers that had become soul beasts, with cultivation levels reaching ten thousand years.
At this moment, the miasma seemed to come alive. As soon as Huo Yuhao and the other two arrived, it immediately transformed into a surging, thick cloud that enveloped them.
The air emitted a pungent sound as it was corroded by the poisonous fog, stirring up miasma from dozens of miles around.
"No wonder our teacher and senior apprentice were forced to quit back then."
Huo Yuhao stood beside Xue Di, seemingly immune to all poisons: "No wonder the teacher said that Di Tian was planting this bad luck at his doorstep."
"If only we could transplant so many Azure Phosphorous Seven Wonders to Sea God Lake."
Huo Yuhao used the domain attached to the Ice Emperor Soul Bone, attached it to his finger, and gently touched a Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flower.
"The Seven Wonders of the Jade Phosphorus Flower prefers to live in groups, but its reproductive ability is extremely poor and its environmental requirements are extremely demanding."
"Moreover, they require a lot of nutrients during their growth process to form such a huge sea of flowers, and even support thousands of ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers. Therefore, even if there is no Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in this valley, there must be an extraordinary opportunity."
"However, it is precisely because of their existence that even though the teacher and senior apprentice knew there might be opportunities inside, they could not enter."
"It would be great if we could make use of these highly toxic substances."
"It's a pity that it's too corrosive and difficult to store. Otherwise, it would be an invincible force if used to make soul tools."
Huo Yuhao threw out a piece of platinum with extremely strong corrosion resistance.
In just three breaths, the platinum vanished under the corrosive influence of the seven-colored poisonous miasma.
"I wonder if the Demon King can command these Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers."
Huo Yuhao suddenly had a brilliant idea: if he could subdue these Jade Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers, they would definitely become a powerful weapon in the future.
"It's difficult."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's idea, Xue Di immediately picked a Bilin Nine Absolute Flower.
This Azure Phosphorus Nine-Colored Flower sprayed out poisonous mist of nine colors, attempting to corrode the Snow Emperor into withered bones, but to no avail.
"Their spirituality is very low, almost nonexistent; they act almost entirely on instinct."
A circle of black spirit rings rose up, filled with envy from plant-type spirit masters.
The Snow Emperor froze the Bilin Jiujue Flower to death.
"If you want them to develop intelligence, they must be transplanted to the vicinity of the Arctic snow lotus, where they will be nourished day and night by the spirituality and life force of the Arctic. Only then will they have a chance to develop true wisdom."
But this is not possible.
It's impossible for the Snow Emperor to transplant the Azure Phosphorus Nine-fold Flower to the far north.
Leaving aside whether they can withstand the extreme northern environment, the Snow Emperor would not allow them to appear near the Arctic Snow Lotus simply because of their potent toxins.
Electrolux then said, "These poisonous miasmas are not entirely unusable."
"Since my soul was restored to its original state under the nourishment of the Martial Scripture and the Gold of Life, I have remembered all my magic."
"There are plague creatures among the undead, which can be seen as a source of some kind of plague."
"We don't need to transform the Nine-Petaled Jade Flowers into demons or undead; we can simply utilize their soul rings and the poisonous fog from the outside world..."
This allows the creation of undead plants.
"But everything that exists must have its reason, and the Nine Absolute Jade Flower is no exception."
Even if it seems to be extremely harmful, it may be an indispensable part of maintaining ecological balance under certain special circumstances.
"Therefore, not all of these Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers should be hunted; at least half should be left to maintain stability here."
"but-"
Electrolux looked at the sea of flowers that almost filled the entire valley before him, and hesitated.
According to the historical records of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Sunset Forest was not like this ten thousand years ago.
At least it hasn't reached the point where soul beasts are so rare.
Even if the Sunset Forest contains the seeds of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus, it is still too incredible that it has developed to this extent in ten thousand years without any human intervention.
Even if there are great opportunities in the valley, why has it developed into this way in the last ten thousand years?
What were you doing all that time?
Electrolux had just looked at them all. Those Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flowers all had a cultivation level of around ten thousand years, with little fluctuation. According to the habits of soul beasts, it was very abnormal that no stronger soul beast kings had been born under such a scale.
This situation is impossible without the intervention of a living being.
