The three returned to the courtyard. Ah Yin communicated with the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass, even secretly pricking her finger and dripping a drop of blood onto its roots while keeping it hidden from Tian Hao and Tang Hao. She let it absorb the blood to increase its compatibility with her.
After that, things became simple. The Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass had originally shared the same origin as Ah Yin, and with that drop of blood serving as a bond, along with Tian Hao's continuous assistance and fine adjustments while in his state of enlightenment, it was finally fused with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in the courtyard.
More precisely, the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass had merged into the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
The original Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass vanished, replaced by a Blue Silver tree.
The Blue Silver Overlord Spear planted in the ground became its trunk, while blades of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from it. Faint, thin golden threads could be seen running through the leaves.
At the same time, roots spread from the spear blade and dug into the earth.
"Hah!"
"It worked. Take a look and see how it feels."
Letting out a long breath, Tian Hao released the shaft of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and gestured for Ah Yin to inspect the result.
"There's no need to sense it. Your idea was right."
Ah Yin stared excitedly at the Blue Silver tree before her, one hundred percent certain that it had worked.
The fusion of the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass had, to a certain extent, granted the Blue Silver Overlord Spear spirituality, Mental Power, and even a soul.
That Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass could maintain the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and keep it from collapsing. Even the Soul Power it cultivated could sustain the usual consumption of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear's Blue Silver Domain, meaning she would no longer need to manage it herself.
This proved that Tian Hao's earlier speculation had been correct. This method truly worked.
At the very least, she now possessed a Blue Silver Overlord Spear that could remain permanently stable.
"Not only that. Since the Blue Silver Overlord Spear is a creation of a soul ring soul skill, its rank and power are fixed. But this Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass can continue growing. With the Blue Silver Domain inside the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and your high-level Soul Power, Sister Ah Yin, it will surely grow even faster.
"If it can grow and transform into a king-level Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear will definitely receive an enormous boost.
"And if this Blue Silver Grass reaches the hundred-thousand-year level, this Blue Silver Overlord Spear may very well evolve into a Blue Silver Overlord Spear..."
Tian Hao continued spinning his tale, providing Ah Yin with ideas so she could cultivate it along that path in the future.
At least the Blue Silver Overlord Spear really could be achieved. Tang San had done it in the original story.
"Becoming a Blue Silver King should not be difficult, but becoming a Blue Silver Emperor is impossible. The breakthrough to Emperor is not as simple as you think. At the very least, it would have to cultivate independently into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Ah Yin was indeed even more excited, but after calming down and thinking it through carefully, she felt that a second Blue Silver Emperor could not emerge. The Blue Silver Emperor was unique. Before her death, another Blue Silver Emperor could not be born.
However, she could strive for a Blue Silver King. As long as she raised the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass to the ten-thousand-year level, then merged some of her origin power into it, there was a high chance that it could transform into a Blue Silver King.
"Even if it can't become a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, it can still reach ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years. Its combat strength certainly won't be bad."
Tian Hao still insisted on his view. As for there supposedly being only one Blue Silver Emperor, that was complete nonsense. Otherwise, how could Tang San and Ah Yin coexist in the original story?
Clearly, there was a loophole in that setting. As long as they found the right method, it would work.
At worst, they could force a breakthrough with accumulated power. He refused to believe that reaching one hundred thousand years would still not produce an Emperor.
Besides, there was still him, a cheat-user.
"You try it. With this Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass as a medium, you should be able to smoothly merge with and bear the Blue Silver Overlord Spear."
Ah Yin gestured to Tian Hao. She had not forgotten that the main purpose was for him to fuse with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, thereby verifying whether a Fusion Skill between a soul master and a soul beast was truly possible.
If it worked, they could begin researching how to stabilize it.
Tian Hao had been waiting for this step. He stepped forward once more and gripped the spear shaft covered in Blue Silver Grass leaves. His Soul Power gradually merged with it, followed by his Grass Root Martial Soul.
Because they had succeeded at fusion before, and with Ah Yin's guidance and the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass's active cooperation, this attempt was much faster and easier. By the afternoon, the fusion was complete.
Tian Hao's entire body merged into the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, causing the spear, originally only as thick as an egg, to instantly swell to the thickness of a thigh, like a massive pillar.
There was no helping it. Whether it was the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass or the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, both were fundamentally far stronger than Tian Hao. He could only merge into them as support and could not become the main body.
"So this is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Listening to the surrounding sounds through the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass, Tian Hao found the sensation strange.
Although he had merged his Grass Root Martial Soul into the Blue Silver Overlord Spear at the training ground before, the fusion had been too brief. Moreover, that had merely been a fusion of Martial Souls, rather than directly merging his body into it as he had now. Even he had not expected this current state.
This was the Blue Silver Domain sealed within the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. Across from him stood another Blue Silver Grass—the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass.
It was not over yet. Before long, a pale blue, ethereal female figure appeared before Tian Hao. It was the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin—or rather, the Mental Power of the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin.
"The Blue Silver Domain inside the Overlord Spear has actually become like this."
Ah Yin looked around in surprise.
Previously, the Blue Silver Domain had merely been energy sealed within the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. Yet after merging with the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass and Tian Hao, it had evolved into something resembling a mental space.
Was this evolution?
"Tsk, tsk... you have quite a nice body."
Ah Yin suddenly turned to Tian Hao, her Mental Power projection openly looking him up and down.
Unlike her, who could formally cultivate Mental Power, Tian Hao's Mental Power was very weak—only one or two times stronger than that of an ordinary person. He could not control it independently at all. The Mental Power projection he manifested now had not formed any clothing to conceal itself, revealing his original state.
Still, Tian Hao's body, honed through relentless training, was indeed perfect. It was not the bulky sort like Tang Hao's, but lean and wiry, a balanced form of strength and speed.
Seeing the youth in his natural state, Ah Yin showed no embarrassment.
As someone who had lived for nearly a hundred thousand years, she was no inexperienced young maiden. Moreover, she was a Soul Beast Transformation; her consciousness and way of thinking were not like those of humans.
In the world of soul beasts, all soul beasts existed naturally in their original forms. Humans who wore clothing to cover themselves were the strange ones instead.
Ah Yin did not mind, and Tian Hao, being a young man, naturally minded even less. In any case, he was quite satisfied with both his physique and his assets.
"It is too difficult to change the Blue Silver Overlord Spear's rigid properties through external means. Unless that Blue Silver Grass can transform into a Blue Silver King, only then can power of the same level neutralize and alter the soul skill properties of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear."
After carefully sensing things through the Blue Silver Domain, Tian Hao had essentially given up on the idea of using Blue Silver Grass to make the change.
It was not that it could not be changed, but that the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass was far too inferior compared to the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
The strong had always changed the weak. At the very least, it required an existence of the same level. How could the weak change the strong?
"I'm not in a hurry. I can wait."
Ah Yin had a good mindset. Although transforming into a human had cost her the nearly limitless lifespan of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, becoming a Titled Douluo could extend one's life. It was said that a Peak Douluo could live for over a thousand years.
Hao could live that long too. They had plenty of time.
"You misunderstood me. I meant that this method won't work for now. We can start trying the next one."
Tian Hao corrected Ah Yin's understanding. He had other ideas for changing the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
Tian Someone: I forgot to introduce myself. My Tian is the Tian shared by two neighboring Old Wangs, and I'm also a die-hard fan of the Chancellor. Those who get it, get it. Fellow wolves, hurry up and support me with recommendations.
Also, brothers who do not understand the term Mental Power projection can refer to the phantom formed when Tang San extended his Mental Power in the Douluo Continent anime.
