"Those children have such unusual ways of using Blue Silver Grass. Interesting."

Chu Chen stood to one side, watching the little boy and the chubby boy fight. To his surprise, the Blue Silver Sword in the chubby boy's hand was exceptionally sharp and had actually cut through the little boy's entangling Blue Silver Grass.

Yet even after fighting for a long time, neither of them emerged victorious.

"Big Brother, you've been watching us for a while. Is there something you need?" the little boy asked Chu Chen obediently.

"I just think you're both very skilled at using Blue Silver Grass. What Spirit Beast did you absorb for your First Spirit Ring?"

Chu Chen sat down nearby and began talking with the two children.

"My First Spirit Ring came from a fifty-year Tiger Tail Vine," the little boy said.

The chubby boy followed right after him. "Mine came from a fifty-year Solitary Bamboo."

Chu Chen nodded and praised him. "Tiger Tail Vines have roots and stems that creep along the ground, while their leaves are interwoven with tough fibers and possess elasticity. They're indeed very suitable for the path you want to take with Control System Blue Silver Grass."

"The same goes for Solitary Bamboo. It contains great resilience and has considerable piercing power, making it well-suited for Power Attack System Blue Silver Grass."

After being praised, both the little boy and the chubby boy scratched their heads sheepishly.

"Big Brother, you know a lot about Blue Silver Grass," the chubby boy asked curiously.

"Mm-hm, you could say I know it rather well. I heard that some people here cultivate Agility Attack System Blue Silver Grass too?" Chu Chen tossed out the question.

The little boy nodded. "Yes. You only need to absorb Plant System Spirit Beasts like Cornus, and Blue Silver Grass can gain incredible speed. Its attack power is just a little lacking."

"If you want to pursue the Defense System, you hunt some hard Plant System Spirit Beasts. For the Support Healing System, you hunt plants with self-healing abilities."

"Cornus..."

Chu Chen knew of this Plant System Spirit Beast.

It could instantly spray pollen with a numbing effect at extreme speed, practically in the blink of an eye!

He had truly never considered that the speed at which it sprayed pollen could become an ability for Blue Silver Grass to cultivate along the Agility Attack System path...

Chu Chen silently marveled. Even the children of Blue Silver City knew how to add Plant System Spirit Beasts with different traits to Blue Silver Grass, allowing it to develop different branches.

"The people here..."

He suddenly found it strange. How one cultivated one's Martial Soul was indeed a personal choice. If you said you wanted to cultivate the Control System, no one would say you were wrong, only that you were incredibly foolish and that path would not take you far.

A major reason he had always mocked Yu Xiaogang was because that man pretended to understand what he did not, insisting that Blue Silver Grass had only one path: the Control System.

In reality, if Tang San had not possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Yu Xiaogang would have crippled him outright. Making Blue Silver Grass absorb Animal System Spirit Rings was sacrificing the greater for the lesser and turning everything upside down.

And the people here proved exactly that.

Just as Xue Qinghe had said, ordinary Blue Silver Grass would only reach the Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor level if it followed these branching paths.

Take Tang San, for instance. Even though his Blue Silver Grass contained the hidden Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, it was now destined never to awaken. How far could he possibly go?

"I didn't come here to correct their cultivation paths. Still, these wild ideas might give me some inspiration."

Chu Chen looked at the two children and asked, "Why haven't you considered adding Animal System Spirit Beasts to your Blue Silver Grass?"

At those words, the two children hurriedly shook their heads.

"How could that work? Blue Silver Grass may be weak, but absorbing Plant System Spirit Beasts can bring about considerable evolution. Absorbing Animal System Spirit Beasts is absolutely impossible."

Mm, even children knew that.

Yu Xiaogang, you clown.

"Big Brother, do you also have the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?" the little boy asked.

Chu Chen spread open his palm. Rather than directly revealing his current golden Blue Silver Emperor, he condensed a blue-gold Blue Silver Emperor, identical to the Blue Silver Emperor's former form.

"Wow, Blue Silver Grass with gold in it!"

After bidding farewell to the two children, Chu Chen continued strolling through Blue Silver City. Indeed, everyone here possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Along the way, he saw many different uses for Blue Silver Grass.

For example, Blue Silver Grass could be condensed into shields, great blades, and hammers. Some also used the explosive force of Blue Silver Grass bursting out of the ground to increase their own speed...

All sorts of strange and imaginative methods left Chu Chen's eyes opened.

"I never expected Blue Silver Grass to have so many uses... Yet after walking around all this time, I haven't seen a single Soul Ancestor."

But there was no doubt about it.

Blue Silver Grass focused on Life could achieve every transformation that all the Blue Silver Grass here could, and that was Chu Chen's advantage.

Blue Silver Grass indeed had many cultivation methods, but Chu Chen had always believed that Life was the most suitable path. It was the inherent trait of this fragile Martial Soul!

"The diverse cultivation paths of Blue Silver City... Interesting. The paths are viable, but they cannot go far."

Chu Chen was about to return to his residence when he saw a Middle-aged Man standing before him at some unknown time. The man raised his eyes toward Chu Chen, suppressing the excitement deep within them, and asked, "May I ask whether you come from the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"More or less. What is it?" Chu Chen nodded.

This man possessed strength that Chu Chen could not currently see through. By his estimation, he was at least a Soul Saint.

"Please do not worry. I mean no harm. I heard that you possess a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul engraved with golden veins. I wonder..."

Chu Chen watched the Middle-aged Man before him. The man's arm bore the same unusual mark Chu Chen had seen before.

This mark had drawn his attention. Everyone in Blue Silver City possessed it. Clearly, it was not some custom, but something akin to an inherited mark.

"You are the lord of Blue Silver City."

Perhaps throughout all of Blue Silver City, the only person whose strength Chu Chen could not see through was the Blue Silver City Lord Xue Qinghe had mentioned, someone with the strength of a Spirit Douluo. He was also the only Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master who could possess such formidable strength.

"That's right." The City Lord nodded and summoned his Martial Soul.

Chu Chen immediately noticed something was wrong. It was clearly not Blue Silver Grass, or rather, it should have been the Blue Silver King. It had evidently undergone evolution, becoming stronger and carrying a Life Aura.

A golden Blue Silver Emperor bloomed in Chu Chen's hand.

At that moment, the Blue Silver King in the City Lord's hand uncontrollably bent toward Chu Chen, assuming a kneeling posture...

"Golden veins... Golden-Veined Blue Silver Grass. Could it be the legendary Blue Silver Emperor, the true emperor of the Blue Silver Clan!"

The City Lord's voice held both shock and excitement. He strode forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, is this your Blue Silver Emperor? The legendary Blue Silver Emperor?!"

Chu Chen sensed no hostility from him, so he nodded and asked, "What kind of place is Blue Silver City?"

The City Lord's gaze was devout as he replied, "This is a place that has worshipped the Blue Silver Emperor for generations. Sir, the Martial Soul you possess is precisely the Blue Silver Emperor we worship."

"Worship the Blue Silver Emperor?" Chu Chen froze. He faintly felt that an opportunity belonging to him seemed to lie here.

"Yes, sir. The people of Blue Silver City all worship the Blue Silver Emperor," the City Lord said earnestly.
