Ultimate Wood Advancement

"Let's see if it dropped any equipment."

Walking up to the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse, he controlled a willow branch and peeled apart the shell mixed with flesh.

Before long, a flash of purple light appeared.

"Just as I thought, there's loot."

Liu Yuan's lips curled upward.

With a gentle sweep of the willow branch, a purple-black bone with eight spider legs growing from it, shaped like a ribcage, appeared before him. It was an External Soul Bone!

It only contained deadly poison.

"What a pity."

Liu Yuan shook his head at the sight. If the Man Faced Demon Spider's attribute had matched his own, he really would have wanted to absorb this External Soul Bone.

As things stood, he could only store it away for now.

It was a good thing, after all. There was no reason not to take it.

He took out a Soul Sealing Box and placed it inside. Then, with a thought, he selected [Return]!

A stream of rainbow light descended.

Liu Yuan vanished along with it.

At the same time,

Tang Shan, who was chasing after the Titan Giant Ape, suddenly felt her body go slack, and her mind jolted.

The Blue Silver Grass that had obeyed her as easily as her own limbs moments ago

suddenly became ordinary.

"The mission is already complete?"

Tang Shan pressed her lips together.

If only it could have lasted a little longer.

But just then,

"Xiao Shan? Why are you here?"

A familiar voice rang out.

Tang Shan turned back in delight. "Young Master Wu!"

[Ding!]

[Mission complete. Reward: Innate Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline]

Amid flashing rainbow light,

Liu Yuan was brought back to his original world by the platform.

Huo Yuhao had not noticed his departure at all. He was still cultivating intently, free of distractions.

Liu Yuan silently chose to claim the reward. A ball of blue light drifted out from the mission panel and floated before him, emanating a dense aura of life.

"Now comes the most crucial part..."

Having done this sort of thing many times,

Liu Yuan was already thoroughly familiar with it.

He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly.

The blue light merged into Liu Yuan's body. At the same time, the phantom of the Origin Willow enveloped him completely.

Though the aura it gave off was not immense, it instantly startled Huo Yuhao awake from his cultivation.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Liu Yuan.

Not only was his entire body glowing with blue-gold and emerald-gold radiance, but the two lights seemed to be refusing to yield to each other, constantly crushing against one another.

This anomaly made Huo Yuhao's heart tighten.

But he did not act rashly.

Instead, he hurriedly called out to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Spirit Sea.

"Brother Sky Dream! Brother Sky Dream! Wake up!"

His consciousness kept shoving the sleeping giant white worm.

When there was no response no matter what he did, the anxious Huo Yuhao decided desperate times called for desperate measures. He opened his jaws...

I'll bite!

"Aah—"

The pained Sky Dream Ice Silkworm woke up instantly!

As he hurriedly wriggled his body, he saw that it was Huo Yuhao and looked thoroughly indignant. "I just became your Wisdom Soul Ring and spent a great deal of effort sealing myself. I was about to rest and recover! Yuhao, why did you bite me?"

"Brother Sky Dream, something big has happened!"

Huo Yuhao ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's complaints and quickly told him about Liu Yuan's abnormal condition.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately used Huo Yuhao's perspective to examine Liu Yuan's state. Yet while waiting anxiously, he asked a question in an odd tone.

"Yuhao, what did your 'brother' eat?"

Those words made Huo Yuhao's heart clench.

"Brother Sky Dream, did something terrible happen?!"

"Something big did happen."

In an instant,

Huo Yuhao's heart rose into his throat.

Fortunately, the next moment—

"But it's a very good thing."

Whew—

Hearing that, Huo Yuhao let out a breath of relief, though a trace of resentment entered both his gaze and tone.

"Brother Sky Dream, don't pause like that when you talk."

"Next time for sure, next time for sure..."

Since it was good news, Huo Yuhao grew curious. "Brother Sky Dream, what exactly is the good thing?"

"I know. But what I want to know even more is..."

Looking at Liu Yuan's current state, tears of envy streamed from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mouth. "What exactly did your brother eat? It actually made his Martial Soul's attribute evolve toward an ultimate attribute!"

"An ultimate attribute?!"

Huo Yuhao cried out in shock!

But then a smile spread across his face.

"That's wonderful!"

"What a foolish boy..." Seeing his unfeigned expression, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered to himself.

He had originally planned to tell Huo Yuhao that during the break, he would take him to obtain an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul when Huo Yuhao became envious.

Who would have thought this boy would not be envious at all?

Forget it!

Such sincerity proved that he had not misjudged him.

"Yuhao, your brother's evolution is at a critical stage. He can't be disturbed," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly reminded him.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.

"Brother Sky Dream, I'm counting on you!"

"Leave it to me!"

The next second,

A wave of spiritual power enveloped the entire dormitory.

No matter how noisy it became outside, even if someone pounded on the door, this spiritual power could isolate everything. If anyone forced their way in, they would be met with a powerful Soul Shock.

At this moment,

Liu Yuan was continuously circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Unlike his previous fusions with the bloodlines of other plant-type soul beasts, as well as Luo Sanpao's Light Bloodline...

Perhaps because the Blue Silver Emperor and the Origin Willow were nearly equal in quality, the fusion was far from easy.

Fortunately, as time passed, the blue-gold and emerald-gold lights that had initially crushed against each other gradually changed. The emerald-gold radiance swallowed up most of the blue-gold radiance.

Once it was fully fused, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline would completely become nourishment for the Origin Willow.

But during this process,

Liu Yuan, who was seated in meditation, seemed to hear a call.

It seemed to come from the Blue Silver Grass,

yet it also seemed to come from all plants,

as though subjects were calling for their emperor.

This seemed to be...

Could it be a domain?!

Such a thought suddenly sprang into Liu Yuan's mind.

He wanted to seize that feeling.

Because this was very likely the Blue Silver Domain contained within the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. If possible, it might even evolve into a domain exclusive to the Origin Willow Martial Soul.

However, that feeling vanished in an instant.

Yet Liu Yuan's instincts told him that it was not yet time to seize that feeling and awaken a domain.

So Liu Yuan did not force the matter.

As this brief interruption passed,

the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was soon completely fused.

In an instant, emerald-gold radiance burst forth!

As a dense aura of life spilled out, an incomparably vigorous aura of vegetation followed close behind.

However,

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm isolated it all with spiritual power.

"Buzz—"

The phantom of the Origin Willow trembled!

At the same time, Liu Yuan abruptly opened his eyes. A streak of emerald-gold light flashed through his clear black pupils.

Ultimate Wood, achieved!

"Whew—"

Stopping the circulation of his skill, Liu Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and also noticed the spiritual power enveloping the dormitory.

He smiled at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, thank him for me."
