When they saw the Blue Silver Tree with a cultivation of nine thousand years, the disciples were completely stunned. They knew that Teacher's Wife possessed the Super Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, but seeing a Blue Silver Tree nearing ten thousand years in age with their own eyes still shocked them.
After all, Blue Silver Grass was considered the lowest class of plant and could be found everywhere. In their eyes, reaching a thousand years was already impressive; this was their first time seeing one close to the ten-thousand-year level.
However, as they looked at an even larger pit nearby, they fell silent.
Even a nine-thousand-year Blue Silver Tree could not occupy the very center of this cultivation environment. Just what kind of Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast were their teacher and Teacher's Wife planning to transplant here?
Deep within the Blue Silver Forest—
"Your Majesty... is that you? Is that you... my Emperor?"
Within the unique spiritual network of the Blue Silver clan, that heartfelt call lingered in Ah Yin's heart.
The two of them had arrived before the Blue Silver King, the strongest member of the Blue Silver clan beneath the Blue Silver Emperor, with a cultivation of eighty-five thousand years.
Compared to ordinary Blue Silver Trees, the Blue Silver King appeared far more rugged. Its uneven surface bore witness to the long years it had endured.
As though it sensed their arrival, the Blue Silver Grass vines clinging closest to the trunk seemed to come alive, forming an aged human face that spoke aloud.
"Welcome back, my Emperor.
Is this the companion you chose among humans? I offer you both my heartfelt blessings."
Clearly, the Blue Silver King already knew about Ah Yin and Ye Wen's relationship.
Although the two possessed mimicry concealment abilities that even Titled Douluo could not detect under Ye Wen's Between Mimicry Soul Skill, their large-scale transplantation of thousand-year Blue Silver Trees had still caught the attention of this elder of the Blue Silver clan, second only to the Blue Silver Emperor.
There were other Blue Silver Kings on the continent, but the one before them was undoubtedly the strongest Blue Silver Grass expert closest to the level of the Blue Silver Emperor. That was why they had come to find it.
The fact that it could speak human language despite having less than a hundred thousand years of cultivation was enough to show just how profound and solid the Blue Silver King's cultivation was.
The reason the Blue Silver King could produce sound was because it used vibrations between its vines to create sound waves. Ye Wen could only admit that he was inferior to it in such exquisite control.
"My honored Emperor, may I ask what brings you here?" the Blue Silver King asked.
Ah Yin glanced at Ye Wen, signaling for him to explain.
"Hello, Blue Silver King. We came here hoping to gain your support. We have transplanted a large number of thousand-year Blue Silver Trees onto our territory, creating a pseudo Blue Silver Domain. Within this domain, Plant-type Soul Beasts can cultivate faster, and the Blue Silver Grass clan benefits the most.
"But if powerful humans discover it, we seemingly won't be able to protect it. That is why we need someone like you to guard it."
That was right. Once they discovered that gathering large numbers of Blue Silver Trees could produce such an effect, it seemed too late to reverse it.
Although Holy Soul Village was an extremely remote place where Soul Masters generally did not come, if some truly formidable expert showed up, the two could escape with their current cultivation. However, the foundation they had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.
Ah Yin had then mentioned the existence of this Blue Silver King with eighty-five thousand years of cultivation. Although the Blue Silver Grass clan was not renowned for powerful offensive strength, a Blue Silver King that had grown over eighty-five thousand long years was by no means ordinary.
At the very least, so long as the opponent was not a Titled Douluo, no ordinary Soul Master could defeat it.
Blue Silver Grass excelled most at entangling battles. Once someone was caught by the Blue Silver King at close range, they would be dragged to death alive.
Especially with the Blue Silver Domain's enhancement, the Blue Silver King's strength could approach that of a Titled Douluo. At the very least, trash like the Poison Douluo would absolutely be unable to do anything to a Blue Silver King enhanced by the Blue Silver Domain.
At that moment, the Blue Silver King fell silent. In all its long years, this was the first time it had encountered such a matter.
"No problem, my Empress. Everything shall be as you wish. Perhaps that Blue Silver Forest will become a new homeland for our Blue Silver clan."
Ye Wen had not expected things to go so smoothly, and he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Blue Silver King harboring ill intentions toward Ah Yin, that was unlikely. Otherwise, Tang San would have been swallowed whole the moment he appeared before the Blue Silver King.
Even though both of them had reached the rank of Soul King, if the Blue Silver King truly made a move, they would never be able to stop it unless Ye Wen's Martial Soul abilities proved exceptional.
It could only be said that the Blue Silver Grass clan's concept of hierarchy was more sincere than that of humans. Their clan had originated in extreme weakness, so they wholeheartedly supported the kings and emperors of their kind, even at the cost of their own Life Force. After all, the appearance of a king or emperor accelerated their clan's cultivation speed, making them equivalent to the Emperor Auspicious Beast among Soul Beasts.
Although the Blue Silver King was enormous, Ye Wen's Martial Soul Space was a full one hundred cubic meters. It had more than enough room to contain a Blue Silver King.
While he was at it, Ye Wen dug up every single cultivable Blue Silver Grass from the Blue Silver Forest in one sweep.
Looking at the Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Forest, which stood ten meters tall and required at least five adults to wrap their arms around it, all the disciples gaped. They had not expected their teacher to truly bring back a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver King.
Ye Wen then looked solemnly at his eight disciples and grandfather.
"This is Senior Blue Silver King. It is a Blue Silver Grass that has cultivated for eighty-five thousand years. By a fortunate coincidence, I formed a contract with this senior. It will protect our Heavenly Path Academy, while Heavenly Path Academy must treat the Blue Silver clan well in return.
"So from now on, you must respect Senior Blue Silver King just as you respect me.
"Also, all your future cultivation will be concentrated around Senior Blue Silver King. The Life Force energy is richest here. Whether you cultivate Soul Power or train your bodies, you will receive the greatest possible enhancement.
"Furthermore, I must remind you that from now on, you may not bring anyone else into this Blue Silver Forest. This will become a forbidden area of our academy. Other than those permitted by me, anyone who enters without authorization will face execution at the hands of Senior Blue Silver King.
"Do you understand?!!!" Ye Wen said sternly.
The eight disciples clearly realized the importance of the matter and nodded in agreement.
Afterward, the Blue Silver King formed a face once more and greeted the eight disciples and Old Master Ye Buyi before falling into a dormant state.
Or rather, the Blue Silver clan was simply this laid-back. Unless something was necessary, most of them spent their time idling around like this.
