The Evolution Paths of the Four Great Spirit Grasses, Ice Phoenix Serpent and Golden Dragon

External assistance is essential!

In the sea of knowledge, Mu Rong instantly recalled the Great Wilderness Scripture he had obtained from Demon Blade, as well as the spirit grass recorded within it.

Spirit Grass possessed a true dragon-bloodline evolution path!

The best option was... the Ice Dragon King's hundred-year-old dragon marrow!

Mu Rong's thoughts raced, and he immediately fell into deep contemplation.

The situation was too complicated. This was something that would affect the future path he would take, so he had to consider it carefully.

As for Demon Blade, the most suitable evolution path was to thoroughly analyze the characteristics of Spirit Grass and use them to complete the transformation of its martial soul's sword embryo.

After years of research into martial souls and countless analyses of the attributes of Spirit Grass, a clear evolution route had already taken shape in his mind.

The first step, and also the most difficult step, was to lay a solid foundation.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass!

As a spirit grass with ice attributes, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass had a core function: it could provide ice-type energy, forge the body, and allow the martial soul to endure a higher level of pain.

The Ice Phoenix Serpent martial soul naturally possessed the characteristics of both ice phoenixes and serpents.

When the Serpent-Flying martial soul evolved toward the dragon line, it naturally possessed a trace of dragon bloodline power.

The key to the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass lay in its ability to refine the "ice" attribute within the Ice Phoenix Serpent, slowly tempering it to its limits.

It could purify the martial soul, and the purity of its ice attribute could approach the limits of the martial soul itself.

At the same time, it could strengthen the martial soul and increase its compatibility with the soul, allowing it to withstand even more violent energy impacts and bloodline evolution, laying the best foundation for transformation.

On the Great Wilderness Continent, any martial soul containing even a trace of dragon bloodline could not compare with a true dragon's bloodline, but it was still a presence infinitely close to that level.

Only after the foundation was firmly established could the higher-level transformations be carried out.

Once this first step was complete, the second step was the inheritance and fusion of attributes.

Purple Gold Spirit Mushroom and Dragon Ant Blood!

The Purple Gold Spirit Mushroom and Spirit Grass complemented each other; neither could be lacking.

The Purple Gold Spirit Mushroom was not a spirit grass with ice attributes. Its core lay in strengthening the body's foundation, repairing hidden injuries left behind during cultivation, and greatly increasing the soul's endurance.

More importantly, it could neutralize the destructive effects of the bloodline energy on the body, acting as a "stabilizing vessel."

As for Dragon Ant Blood, it was the core medium for transforming the serpent into a dragon.

Its greatest effect lay in the pure "dragon blood" contained within it.

For the Ice Phoenix Serpent martial soul, the dragon blood was the source of its evolution.

Once the energy of the Dragon Ant Blood entered the martial soul, it would gradually transform the form of the Ice Phoenix Serpent martial soul.

After all, once the martial soul absorbed the Dragon Ant Blood and possessed a trace of dragon bloodline power, its own bloodline would already have accumulated to a certain level.

Then, after the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass raised the ice attribute to the level of an ultimate martial soul, a complete evolution was inevitable.

At that time, the martial soul would gradually shed the characteristics of the serpent and evolve toward the dragon.

For example, its head would grow dragon horns, its body would become thicker and stronger, and the hardness of its scales would increase dramatically.

At the same time, a true "dragon might" would gradually be born within the martial soul.

This step would complete the transformation from a "serpent" into a "half-dragon, half-serpent."

The ice characteristics of the martial soul and the dragon characteristics would initially merge, eventually evolving into a true ultimate martial soul—the Ice Dragon!

Although the Ice Serpent was already an ultimate martial soul, compared with the true dragon martial soul of the Tyrant Dragon King, there was still a considerable gap in its dragon-bloodline power.

The martial soul's potential and upper limit could still be greatly increased.

Therefore, this was the final and most crucial step.

The Earth Dragon Golden Grass!

The core characteristic of the Earth Dragon Golden Grass was its perfect compatibility with true dragon-bloodline energy and the essence of life.

Not only could it further refine the dragon bloodline, but it could also cause the previously fused ice energy and dragon energy to undergo a deeper fusion, producing a true transformation rather than a simple addition.

Once the Dragon Ant Blood completed the final dragon transformation, the Ice Dragon martial soul would truly possess the might of a dragon.

However, the dragon attribute at that moment was still only the dragon power brought by the Dragon Ant Blood, majestic but lacking in foundation.

The true dragon energy of the Earth Dragon Golden Grass was pure and profound.

It could further refine the dragon bloodline within the martial soul, eliminate the mixed aura that might have remained from the Dragon Ant Blood, and simultaneously integrate the ice energy and the pure dragon bloodline power, achieving a deep fusion.

Ice and dragon power merged. Their two kinds of energy would never again conflict.

At that moment, his martial soul would no longer be an Ice Phoenix Serpent, nor an Ice Serpent.

Instead, it would become a wholly new existence that truly stood at the pinnacle of ultimate martial souls.

It possessed the overwhelming control and terrifying offensive power of an ultimate ice-type martial soul, as well as the majesty, strength, energy amplification, and limitless growth potential of a true dragon's bloodline!

A perfect evolution path slowly unfolded in the sea of knowledge, and Mu Rong's heartbeat could not help accelerating.

Demon Blade had completed the Soul Fragment diagram. Combined with his own understanding, the path ahead had become completely clear.

His martial soul's original direction had been a control system, but would sticking to the control system mean he could not attack?

He could completely walk the path of both control and offense!

Control and offense, advancing together!

After all, his martial soul was going to evolve into a true dragon. Why should he settle for playing around with those ordinary control techniques?

In that case, the future combination of Soul Fragments would have to be carefully planned.

The third martial soul ring had to absorb a true dragon-type Soul Fragment, and preferably one that provided a full-range amplification effect.

The fourth martial soul ring would continue along the control route, strengthening his own control abilities.

After all, if he wanted to quietly enter the Icefire Yin Yang Well and obtain the true dragon bones, he would have to wait until the Soul Sect level before he could ensure a certain degree of safety.

At that time, powerful control abilities would be the key to survival.

The fifth martial soul ring would take the defensive route.

The dragon race was naturally born with powerful defensive abilities.

The sixth ring would provide pure offense.

The seventh would be the martial soul true form, the eighth would provide explosive offense, and the ninth would once again provide a powerful control ability.

Hah, perfect!

Mu Rong was extremely satisfied with this combination.

He would not need to follow some complicated control route. He only needed to let the martial soul evolve while walking the path of fusion.

His offensive and defensive abilities would be balanced, with no obvious weakness.

Moreover, the age limit of the Soul Fragments he absorbed far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even an ordinary fused martial soul ring could not compare with his.

Likewise, the power displayed by the same martial soul rings would be worlds apart.

Not to mention that the fusion of the original martial soul body would be even more terrifying.

As for why the final fusion would fail...

Mu Rong rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Could it be that he was afraid that once he released the ninth Soul Fragment, he would directly crush the protagonist?

After all, that person would not need a ninth Soul Fragment in the future, and might collapse if he was even slightly careless.

Especially the six offerings of the martial soul hall, the weakest Golden Crocodile Douluo, the ninety-eighth-rank Super Douluo...

It would be fine even if he did not release the ninth Soul Fragment. Even the ten-thousand-year soul-bone skills could not be used even once...

This was simply acting out his own self-cultivation drama.

Forget it. He did not want to think about these things anymore.

In any case, there was not much conflict with himself.

As long as he could mess with the minor characters and Bibi Dong, that would be enough. The ninth Soul Fragment could be kept hidden in the bones.

As for the martial soul true form, that was still necessary.

After all, he was the martial soul that needed to awaken first. It could also count as a chance to awaken the martial soul.

"Boss? Boss?"
