Devouring the Blue Silver Emperor, Fusing with the Blue Silver Bone

Shui Bing'er's figure passed through the curtain of waterfall once more and landed beside the pool.

"Bing'er, did you find it?"

"Yes. Grandfather, let's go somewhere else before we talk."

"Alright."

Leng Jun did not ask further.

Shui Bing'er spread her wings and flew toward the outskirts of the mountain range with her grandfather.

Only after leaving the mountains did the two stop in a flat area.

Leng Jun looked at Shui Bing'er, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

"Bing'er, what exactly was the item Senior Phoenix guided you here to find?"

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"What? A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?!"

Leng Jun was utterly shocked.

He had never expected a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to be hidden behind that waterfall.

"Grandfather, it's a right leg bone. Not only did I take the soul bone, I also took a Blue Silver Emperor seedling."

As Shui Bing'er spoke, she took the Blue Silver Grass from the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch.

At the sight of this somewhat unusual Blue Silver Grass, Leng Jun's eyes lit up.

Clearly, this was no ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

"Bing'er, you're saying this is a Blue Silver Emperor seedling?"

"Yes. Senior Phoenix said that it is the source Blue Silver Grass left behind after a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor died, and it contains a trace of the Blue Silver Emperor's remnant soul."

"No wonder..."

Leng Jun drew in a sharp breath.

Even in its seedling state, its pure vitality and faint imperial aura stirred his heart.

Next, Shui Bing'er took out the soul bone from her storage device.

The instant the soul bone appeared, a pure, vast blue radiance brimming with life filled Leng Jun's vision!

Clearly, it was a soul bone of exceptional quality.

Its entire body was crystal-clear, as though carved from blue crystal.

Fine, mysterious golden patterns flowed across the bone.

The energy fluctuations it emitted caused the surrounding grass and trees to sway without wind, flourishing with vitality.

"What powerful life energy!"

Leng Jun could not help but exclaim.

Shui Bing'er put the soul bone away.

"Grandfather, Senior Phoenix told me to eat this Blue Silver Emperor seedling and refine it with Soul Power as if it were an immortal herb, then fuse with this right leg bone."

Leng Jun nodded excitedly.

"Since Senior Phoenix told you to do this, he must have his reasons. Start now. I'll stand guard."

"Alright."

Shui Bing'er sat down cross-legged.

The Blue Silver Emperor seedling seemed to sense the threat. It released a faint imperial pressure and immense life force, causing Shui Bing'er's heartbeat to quicken.

"Bing'er, don't be afraid. The ice and fire within your body come from residual dragon power and are enough to suppress the Blue Silver Emperor's remnant soul."

"Mm, I'm not afraid."

Shui Bing'er no longer hesitated. She placed the entire seedling into her mouth, then immediately activated her Soul Power.

The Blue Silver Emperor seedling turned into a warm, cool, sweet current that flowed down her throat and into her stomach.

At first, it was merely threadlike wisps of coolness.

But soon, that coolness exploded within Shui Bing'er's body!

It was not a violent explosion, but the boundless growth of life.

Vast life energy instantly filled every limb and bone in her body. Every cell seemed to rejoice, greedily absorbing this pure source of life.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor's power excelled in vitality, its essence still carried the dominance and resilience of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Just as that torrent of life was about to surge uncontrollably through her meridians, the ice and fire power within Shui Bing'er was stirred.

The ultimate ice and fire—two utterly opposing powers born from the same source—met that rushing life energy and refined it in an exquisitely ingenious manner.

The life source transformed from the Blue Silver Emperor seedling gradually became part of Shui Bing'er's body under the cleansing of ice and fire.

Shui Bing'er could feel vibrant life force even in the flow of her blood.

Time quietly passed.

The alternating blue and red light around Shui Bing'er finally began to slowly recede.

She opened her eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them as her entire aura became more restrained and profound.

"Bing'er, you're awake. How do you feel?"

"Grandfather, I feel more full of vitality than ever before."

"Wonderful! Hurry and fuse with the soul bone."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

Without wasting any time, she took the right leg bone from her storage device.

The soul bone appeared once more.

Pure blue light, like clear seawater—gentle yet boundless—enveloped Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and pressed the soul bone against her right leg.

The instant the soul bone touched her skin, a warm yet powerful flow of blue energy poured into the bones of her right leg like mercury spilling across the ground.

Waves of coolness spread through the bones of her right leg, blue light shining through from within.

The golden patterns also seemed to be branded into her leg bone, gradually appearing within it and becoming part of her right leg.

The fusion process went far more smoothly than refining the Blue Silver Emperor sapling.

About half an hour later, the final trace of blue light disappeared into Shui Bing'er's right leg.

Under Leng Jun's watchful gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Bing'er, has the soul bone completely fused?"

"Mm."

Shui Bing'er rose with a smile and gently moved her right leg, finding it incomparably light and nimble.

"Grandfather, this right leg bone truly gave me two powerful skills, just as Senior Phoenix said."

"What kind of soul skills are they?"

"One is the ability to fly. As long as I activate the right leg bone, I can fly, and the consumption is very low. The other is a recovery ability. As long as I still have a breath left, no matter how serious my injuries are, I can recover completely. Even the Soul Power consumed in battle can be quickly restored."

Leng Jun nodded in satisfaction.

"These are truly two powerful and practical soul skills. They'll be of great help to your growth."

"There's an unexpected surprise too!"

Shui Bing'er suddenly released her wings and explained, "The flight ability of the right leg soul bone works in tandem with the Wings of the Phoenix, further increasing my flight speed to the point where it rivals teleportation."

"Really? Hurry and show me!"

Before Leng Jun had finished speaking, Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, her thoughts stirring.

Behind her, a pair of icy-blue wings unfurled with a whoosh.

Almost at the same moment, a faint blue halo silently spread from her right leg.

Her wings gave a gentle flap.

In the next instant, her figure left behind an afterimage and vanished!

Leng Jun's pupils abruptly contracted.

With eyesight and perception nearing the level of a Titled Douluo, he could only barely catch a blurry trajectory.

"What incredible speed!"

Leng Jun could not help exclaiming loudly, his eyes shining with amazement.

Feeling the changes brought by the fusion of the two flight abilities, Shui Bing'er was delighted.

After several flashes, she had already returned before Leng Jun. She landed lightly, the blue light around her wings and leg receding at the same time. Her aura remained steady, her expression unchanged.

"Grandfather, I feel that in this state, the Soul Power consumed during long-distance flight may not even be half of what I'd use when traveling at full speed normally."

"That's wonderful! But in the future, you'll have to slow down a little—I can't even keep up with you anymore. Hahaha~~"

The grandfather and granddaughter replenished some food and water, then continued westward...
