Blue Silver King

In the original story, gods existed in the cosmic space to which Douluo Continent belonged.

In Douluo Continent's cultivation world, the limit for Soul Masters was level ninety-nine. Thus, Titled Douluo with ninety-nine levels of Soul Power were also known as Limit Douluo.

According to legend, breaking through this threshold allowed one to Become a God.

The Shrek Seven Devils from the original story all ultimately attained godhood and ascended to the God Realm.

After ascending, gods would leave their divine artifacts in the mortal world. When needed, they would use those artifacts to initiate an inheritance and seek out successors.

For example, the Asura Sword, Rakshasa Demon Scythe, Angel Sacred Sword, and Sea God's Trident were all divine artifacts left behind on Douluo Continent by gods.

Then what about his Divine Artifact Fragment?

Could it be like Spirit Soul Fragments—collect enough of them, and they could form a divine artifact?

Liu Xinghan speculated inwardly.

He could not be certain either. Divine Artifact Fragments were different from Spirit Soul Fragments; the system had provided no introduction for them, so he could only explore their uses himself in the future!

Over the following days, Liu Xinghan's group continued wandering through the Jade Forest.

Plant-type Spirit Beasts with cultivation exceeding Fifty Thousand Year were simply too scarce. Moreover, because they could not move, they were naturally adept at disguising themselves. Some even hid underground, and finding them deep beneath the earth was harder than ascending to heaven.

The group had even considered giving up and trying their luck in the Star Dou Great Forest. While it was not a paradise for Plant-type Spirit Beasts, they might still encounter one that suited their needs.

If they truly could not find one, they could settle for the next best option and find a roughly suitable Animal-type Spirit Beast. Although its effects would differ somewhat from a plant-type one, having something was better than having nothing.

"Two Elders, if we still can't find anything today, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest." Half a month later, Gu Qing spoke helplessly.

Over the past half month, they had not obtained the slightest clue regarding any high-level Plant-type Spirit Beasts.

That day, the group arrived in a strange area.

"Junior Brother, why is there so much Blue Silver Grass here?" Hu Liena suddenly asked in a low voice.

Liu Xinghan was immediately taken aback. Blue Silver Grass was roadside weed and could grow anywhere without being unusual, yet its presence here was distinctly abnormal.

"Exactly. This is the core area of the Jade Forest. How could there be so much Blue Silver Grass in a place like this?" Liu Xinghan said suspiciously, sensing that something was wrong.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others also revealed strange expressions.

Hu Liena's casual remark had indirectly enlightened everyone.

As everyone knew, Animal-type Spirit Beasts possessed a strong sense of territory. Once their territory was invaded by another Spirit Beast, they would immediately launch an attack.

In fact, Plant-type Spirit Beasts were the same.

In areas where powerful Plant-type Spirit Beasts had taken root, other weaker plants could not possibly grow—unless they were of the same species.

Ordinary Blue Silver Grass was nothing more than weed. It grew by the roadside, and not only would Soul Masters not spare it a second glance, even ordinary people would ignore it, as though it existed like air itself. That was why Liu Xinghan's group had not noticed this at first.

So the question was—

What right did such weak Blue Silver Grass have to grow in the core area of the Jade Forest?

And it was not just one or two stalks. This entire area had been occupied by it.

"Could it be that a powerful Blue Silver Grass is protecting them?"

"How is that possible? How powerful could weed like Blue Silver Grass possibly be?"

Just as Liu Xinghan was about to dismiss the thought, his heart suddenly jolted.

Come to think of it, there really had been powerful beings among the Blue Silver Grass clan in the original story.

First was the Blue Silver Emperor, the sovereign of the Blue Silver Grass clan and Tang San's mother—a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Grass. However, she should already have been dead by this point. Driven into a corner by Spirit Hall's former pope, Qian Xunji, she had chosen to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao.

Other than her, there was the Blue Silver King that had grown in an unknown forest. It later gave Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit Soul a second awakening, transforming it into a Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Soul. Its cultivation had reached Eighty-Five Thousand Year.

"Could it be that Blue Silver King?"

Liu Xinghan thought in shock.

If it really was, that would explain why so much Blue Silver Grass could survive in the core area of the Jade Forest.

That fellow had possessed Eighty-Five Thousand Year of cultivation in the original story.

"If it really is..."

Liu Xinghan smiled. "Then we can't let it live!"

Other than the Blue Silver Emperor, it was the oldest Blue Silver Grass on Douluo Continent. In the original story, it was the one that upgraded Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit Soul into a Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Soul.

Then if he killed it now, would Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit Soul be unable to evolve into a Blue Silver Emperor?

His looks would not improve either, and he would remain ugly forever!

In the future, Tang San would not only be weaker than him, but uglier too?

Liu Xinghan entertained himself with the thought.

Besides, Eighty-Five Thousand Year of cultivation was perfect for becoming Gu Qing's Ninth Spirit Ring.

Liu Xinghan told the others his thoughts.

Of course, he did not explicitly say that there might be an Eighty-Five Thousand Year Blue Silver King here. Otherwise, if they asked how he knew, how could he answer?

He only said that the Blue Silver Grass had taken root and gathered here in a highly unusual manner, perhaps connected to a powerful Plant-type Spirit Beast. They could search the area, and perhaps they would find some clues.

Upon hearing that, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others immediately began searching.

After spending so many days in the Jade Forest with no results, they would not overlook any information that might be connected to a powerful Plant-type Spirit Beast.

A moment later, the search ended, and the group gathered together.

Ghost Douluo spoke first. "I didn't find any useful clues."

Gu Qing also said, "Nothing on my side either. Just Blue Silver Grass."

Chrysanthemum Douluo wore a strange expression as he said, "I didn't find much either, but I did discover a very large Blue Silver Grass."

"A very large Blue Silver Grass?"

Liu Xinghan's eyes widened. He had been with Ghost Douluo earlier and had not seen the enormous Blue Silver Grass Chrysanthemum Douluo mentioned, but his intuition told him that it might be the Blue Silver King.

Led by Chrysanthemum Douluo, the group arrived before the enormous Blue Silver Grass.

"Look, that's it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke oddly. He had extensively researched Plant-type Spirit Beasts, yet even he was seeing Blue Silver Grass this large for the first time.

Liu Xinghan looked at the target.

It was absurdly huge. Its leaves were lush and dozens of meters long. It used the surrounding trees as trellises, climbing over them with its leaves and covering the entire surrounding area.

"It grew this large without even producing Soul Power fluctuations. It failed to evolve into a Plant-type Spirit Beast. Blue Silver Grass truly is the most useless of all plants." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head and mocked it.

The method for determining whether something was a plant or a Plant-type Spirit Beast was simple: the latter had Soul Power fluctuations, while the former did not.

This Blue Silver Grass had no Soul Power fluctuations, so it was clearly not a Plant-type Spirit Beast.

"Could I really have been wrong?" Liu Xinghan frowned.

"We'll know if we test it!"

Liu Xinghan drew his Blazing Fire Blade, aimed at the Blue Silver Grass, and slashed out a Flame Slash.

Boom!

Flames scattered everywhere. Everyone's eyes narrowed in shock, because the Blue Silver Grass struck by the Flame Slash was completely unscathed. How was that possible?
