"Here?"

"Then sense the surroundings. See where among these mountains there are valleys, waterfalls, or pools."

Bai Mu remembered very clearly where Tang Hao had placed the Blue Silver Emperor.

Zygarde carefully extended its senses and quickly found the target.

"I sense special life energy within a valley containing a waterfall!"

"That should be it!"

Very soon, one person and one dog arrived at the target valley.

It was a verdant valley encircled by mountains. Other than the sound of the waterfall, it was utterly silent.

In the valley, the pool shimmered beneath the moonlight.

"That's right! This is the place!"

Bai Mu's sharp gaze immediately locked onto the silver-ribbon-like waterfall cascading down from above.

He took a deep breath. "Xiao Ruan, charge in!"

"Howl!"

Zygarde let out a low roar. White light flared around it as it activated Extreme Speed, and it leaped forward in a burst, crashing into the center of the waterfall like an arrow loosed from a bow!

Splash—!!!

The curtain of water was forcibly torn open!

One person and one dog successfully entered the deep cave behind the waterfall.

"Howl~"

Green light bloomed from Zygarde's body, illuminating the cave.

The cave walls were slick with moisture, and the passage stretched onward into the unknown.

"Let's go."

"Howl~!"

One person and one dog swiftly passed through the tunnel. After traveling an unknown distance, they finally arrived at a stone chamber roughly ten square meters in size.

Moonlight spilled through a hole in the ceiling, shining upon the Blue Silver Grass growing from the mound of earth directly below.

This Blue Silver Grass was rather unusual. Faint golden light flowed through its veins, and the entire plant radiated a gentle yet majestic aura of life, swaying slightly as though it possessed consciousness.

It was none other than Ah Yin, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who had once sacrificed herself!

"Ah Yin, my Ah Yin! I've finally found you! I've missed you so much!"

Bai Mu walked into the stone chamber with a smile, his tone as relaxed as though he were visiting family.

He circled the mound, carefully studying this legendary plant.

Sensing an unfamiliar presence, the Blue Silver Emperor swayed slightly, seeming somewhat nervous.

"Although this is our first meeting, you're being a little too wary, aren't you?"

Bai Mu paid it no mind and began feeling around the stone walls.

According to the original story, Tang Hao had hidden the Spirit Bone—

Click.

An inconspicuous protruding stone was pressed down. Immediately afterward, a long black box fell from above and landed directly in Bai Mu's hand!

"Oh my, how did something end up in my hand? Ah Yin, you must have specially prepared this gift for me because you knew I was coming, right?"

Bai Mu did not waste any time. He gently opened the lid, and an incomparably extraordinary aura surged out from within.

In terms of rank alone, that aura surpassed any existence Bai Mu had ever encountered apart from Zygarde!

Inside the box lay a crystalline blue-gold right leg bone.

Its form was perfect, as though a galaxy swirled within it, sparkling brilliantly. The energy it emitted alone let Bai Mu feel an aura of pure life.

"The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone... I've finally got it!"

Bai Mu's breathing quickened slightly. His eyes shone as he took it out.

As a transmigrator, he knew that the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone contained two great Spirit Skills: [Flight] and [Wildfires Cannot Burn It All; Spring Breezes Bring It Back to Life].

The former was self-explanatory. Once used, it granted the ability to fly.

Although one could fly after becoming a Title Douluo, gaining the ability in advance gave one the upper hand in travel, combat, and escape alike.

Even after becoming a Title Douluo in the future, the boost from this Spirit Bone skill would likely let him fly even faster!

The latter was an incredibly powerful healing and recovery skill.

Although Jungle Healing was already powerful enough, it still had considerable limitations. For example, it could not regenerate severed limbs.

But this Spirit Skill could!

As long as one was not dead and had sufficient Soul Power, even if the body was mutilated and only a final breath remained, given enough time, one could be restored to full health!

"Good, good, good! This Spirit Bone is simply perfect for me!"

Bai Mu did not hesitate. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, pressed the Spirit Bone against his right leg, and began absorbing it.

Seeing this, the Blue Silver Emperor trembled as she tried to stop him.

This Spirit Bone had been left behind for her husband and son, not for an outsider like Bai Mu!

"Howl~"

Zygarde stood between them and shot the Blue Silver Emperor a cold glare.

Dragon Might erupted. The Blue Silver Grass instantly wilted, trembling as it shrank back atop the small mound.

Pitiful and helpless!

"Hiss~"

As Bai Mu absorbed the Spirit Bone, his right leg trembled. A cool aura then quietly slipped into his leg, and the Spirit Bone silently vanished as its energy merged into his body like a gentle stream.

Cool and comfortable, without the slightest resistance.

Unlike the overbearing medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone was like spring rain on the breeze, gently strengthening every inch of Bai Mu's bones, muscles, and meridians.

Bai Mu could clearly feel his meridians becoming tougher. The space within them that could hold Soul Power was perfectly expanded by this force, growing from a small stream into a vast river.

His bones crackled, and a faint fluorescent glow emerged from his muscles as they became even sturdier.

The residual medicinal power from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the large amount of Whale Rubber within his body was perfectly absorbed under the nourishment of this energy. The Indestructible Vajra Body, which had only just begun taking shape, was naturally completed under the impetus of this force!

His Spiritual Power seemed to strengthen faintly. Even the Time-Diamond Eye grew more compatible with him, as though every barrier between them had vanished and it had completely fused with him!

Perhaps because the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone was naturally gentle, even with its bodily transformation, it took less than five hours to fuse perfectly.

The sheer comfort of the entire process made Bai Mu want to lie down right there and sleep for three days and three nights!

Unfortunately—he could not sleep!

"Perfect! Is this the power of the Blue Silver Emperor, a symbol of ultimate life?"

Silver light flashed through Bai Mu's eyes as he rose to his feet.

With a thought, a faint glow appeared beneath his feet, and his entire body immediately floated off the ground, lightly circling the stone chamber.

"Flight—success!"

He put away his Light Wings and looked toward the Blue Silver Emperor, which radiated vigorous life force.

"Ah Yin, you're amazing!"

Bai Mu approached and gently stroked her leaves, but the words he spoke made one's scalp tingle.

"I wonder, if I raised you back to a hundred thousand years again, could you drop another Spirit Bone and Spirit Ring?"

The Blue Silver Emperor shook violently. Her leaves desperately recoiled, the pale golden light within them rapidly dimming as they withered at an incredible speed, as though she were dying.

"Quite the temperament. You're actually trying to play dead in front of me."

Bai Mu's gaze gradually turned cold. "Blue Silver Emperor, I can cultivate another one myself. It isn't as if I absolutely need you."

"Besides, I've heard that the Blue Silver Emperor cannot be killed, but I don't believe that."

"If you don't pull the weeds out by their roots, then naturally, wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes bring them back to life."

"But what if you pull out the roots as well?"

He grinned and yanked the Blue Silver Emperor out of the mound. He dug three feet into the ground, determined not to leave behind even a single blade of grass or seed!

Just as he was about to put her into his Soul Tool and then take her elsewhere to destroy her—

"Howl!"

Zygarde suddenly cried out, sending an urgent thought. I sense that this grass will be useful to me. Can you let me handle it?

"Useful to you?"

Bai Mu pondered for a moment.

Zygarde had already completely digested the medicinal power of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Now, it could consume even Immortal Herbs.

Moreover, the Blue Silver Emperor was a special species. Her life essence could be called ultimate, so she truly was a great tonic.

"Fine. I'll leave her to you."

He casually tossed the grass aside, leaving the space to Zygarde.

"Howl~"

Zygarde opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Blue Silver Emperor—along with her roots beneath the mound, her seeds—everything, all of it.

Gulp.

The swallowing sound was especially clear in the silent stone chamber.

"Youth has no price tag; Ah Yin melts in your mouth!"

Seeing this, Bai Mu could not help but sigh. "Xiao San, your mom tastes great!"
