Ye Shuyuan held a glowing gem in his hand, illuminating the damp cave, which was about three meters high and two meters wide.

The three of them continued onward, one after another entering the stone chamber at the deepest part of the cave. In the center of the chamber was a small mound of earth, and growing atop it was a Blue Silver Grass that was completely different from the others.

Golden threads grew across the leaves of this Blue Silver Grass.

Upon entering the chamber, Dugu Bo looked around first. Seeing nothing in the stone chamber except the Blue Silver Grass atop the mound, he said, "There are no other paths. Is the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone really here?"

Ye Qingzhou entered the stone chamber and surveyed the empty surroundings. Not a sliver of sunlight could be seen. He smiled and teased, "Absolutely. Old Poison, are you daring to doubt a god king?"

At that, Dugu Bo said no more and shook his head.

Doubt a god king? Even if he had a thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred million times the courage, he wouldn't dare doubt a god king.

Unless he didn't want to live anymore.

As soon as Ye Shuyuan entered the chamber, he went to examine the most unusual thing inside: the Blue Silver Grass. "Why is there a Blue Silver Grass here?"

It stood out from all the rest, isolated from the world.

He went up to the Blue Silver Grass, crouched down, and carefully studied every golden thread on it.

When Ye Shuyuan's calloused hands touched the Blue Silver Grass, it clearly recoiled. Its leaves retreated as if they had a will of their own.

"How strange." That reaction stirred Ye Shuyuan's curiosity. "I really want to know which blind fool planted you here. You should be in the Blue Silver Forest."

Seeing Ye Shuyuan examining the Blue Silver Grass, Dugu Bo said irritably, "Old Ye, we're here to search for the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, not to study Blue Silver Grass."

Ye Shuyuan stood up and glanced around. "Don't rush. The God of Life won't deceive us. There must be some kind of mechanism in here."

Ye Qingzhou's gaze swept over every corner of the stone chamber.

He remembered that, in the original story, Tang Hao seemed to have triggered some sort of mechanism.

A box containing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and the Clear Sky Sect Inherited Soul Bone had fallen from the ceiling of the stone chamber.

But where was the mechanism?

As he pondered this, Ye Qingzhou walked over to the wall and stopped.

He leaned lightly against it. His shoulder seemed to touch some sort of switch, and a dark object dropped from the ceiling, landing on the floor.

The sound of it hitting the ground caught Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo's attention.

They stopped what they were about to do and came over to where the object had fallen.

Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo stood around a triangular pattern, surrounding the small black box in the middle.

Dugu Bo's gaze rested on the box. "Little Monster, what did you just do?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head. "I don't know. I must have touched some sort of switch."

"Let me open it." Ye Shuyuan stepped forward, picked up the box, and opened it.

The instant it opened, Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo felt two overbearing auras and one gentle one.

Their eyes fixed on the three Soul Bones inside the box: two right leg bones and one left leg bone.

The gentle aura came from the right leg bone in the middle.

That Soul Bone was translucent blue-gold from end to end, and tiny specks of starlight seemed to shimmer within it.

Both its age and quality far surpassed those of the Soul Bones on either side.

"Three Soul Bones!" Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan exclaimed.

Neither of them had expected three Soul Bones to be hidden in this tiny stone chamber.

Even though the two Soul Bones on either side were incomplete, their age and quality were still quite high. They were at least ten thousand years old.

Ye Qingzhou spoke slowly, offering his guess. "If I'm not mistaken, all three of these Soul Bones belonged to Tang Hao."

"That's very likely." Ye Shuyuan agreed with Ye Qingzhou.

For an ordinary Soul Master, it was hard to come across even one Soul Bone in a lifetime, let alone three that were over ten thousand years old, one of them being a hundred thousand years old.

Only Tang Hao could have done this in the tiny Holy Soul Village.

From what he could tell, the one in the middle had to be the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. It was the only Soul Bone that carried an aura of life; the other two were both fierce and violent.

Dugu Bo was astonished that a Titled Douluo could possess three ten-thousand-year Soul Bones and not absorb them.

"I can't believe Tang Hao had three high-quality Soul Bones. Instead of keeping them to absorb himself, he left them here. What a waste."

Ye Qingzhou looked at Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo. The three of them exchanged glances.

He reached out and took the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from the middle of the wooden box.

In the original story, Tang San had been able to use Wildfire Cannot Burn Out and Spring Breeze Brings Life Anew thanks to this Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

"Grandpa, Old Poison, stand guard for me." Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which was perfectly compatible with his Martial Soul, Ye Qingzhou could barely contain his excitement.

Ye Shuyuan spoke gently. "We've done this kind of thing before. We'd better hurry."

Previously, Tang Hao had escaped calamity thanks to another god's intervention. Ye Shuyuan was a little worried that Tang Hao might have gained the power of another god and come back for revenge.

"Mm." Ye Qingzhou nodded and sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Just as he was about to begin, the Blue Silver Grass atop the mound tried to stop him.

It seemed unwilling to let Ye Qingzhou absorb it.

Faced with Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's refusal, Ye Qingzhou paid it no mind. Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo released the pressure of their Titled Douluo ranks, forcing the Blue Silver Grass to retreat.

Only then did Dugu Bo realize that the Blue Silver Grass had a faint consciousness. "This Blue Silver Grass really isn't ordinary."

Ye Shuyuan looked at the Blue Silver Grass atop the mound, a hint of realization in his eyes.

The two men and the Blue Silver Grass were of no concern to him. Ye Qingzhou began absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

An hour later.

Since both possessed the life element, the natural element of living things, and Ye Qingzhou's life element was hundreds of times stronger than that of a blade of grass, the fusion went exceptionally smoothly.

"Excellent. Not only did my Soul Power Level rise by three ranks, I also gained Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Brings Life Anew, and flight—two Soul Bone Skills and an ability to fly."

Soul Bones, like Soul Rings, could raise a Soul Master's Soul Power Level after being absorbed, and they also came with two innate Soul Bone Skills.

After absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, his Soul Power Level had risen from forty-one to forty-four.

The voice of the God of Life sounded in his mind.
