Sword Points to the Blue Silver King

"Is hunting soul beasts the only way to obtain a Soul Ring?"

Qian Yu pondered this question earnestly.

He thought of soul spirits and the possibility of self-condensing a Soul Ring.

Yet he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the conditions remained unmet.

"I have no choice but to try my luck in the Extreme North!"

In the end, Qian Yu could not think of many other options.

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, finding a soul beast that perfectly matched his own attributes was currently extremely difficult.

As for the vast ocean, that was Tang San's territory.

Only the Extreme North might still harbor soul beasts of a suitable age; even if their attributes were not a perfect match, he had to attempt a search.

Who knows?

Perhaps there was a soul beast out there that would suit him perfectly.

"Perhaps, there is one other decent option!"

Suddenly, a specific soul beast came to mind, and his eyes brightened instantly.

"Xie Yue, are you familiar with the maps of the various factions across the Douluo Continent?"

Having settled on a target, Qian Yu sought out Xie Yue.

"What are you looking for?"

"Whether it is the detailed maps of the various factions or the layout of the major forests, I have some understanding of these things."

Xie Yue spoke with great confidence.

In the past, Martial Soul Hall had spread across the entire continent, reaching even the most remote mountain villages. Having undergone the systematic education of Martial Soul Hall and serving as a team leader who required comprehensive knowledge, Xie Yue was truly not exaggerating.

"Help me find a soul beast forest; it might be called the Blue Silver Forest, or perhaps it goes by another name."

Qian Yu then described the characteristics of the forest where the Blue Silver King resided to Xie Yue.

"I actually do know the place you are describing. The only difference is that it is not called the Blue Silver Forest; in the records of Martial Soul Hall, it is referred to as the Life Forest."

"The plant-type soul beasts there are extremely abundant..."

Xie Yue fell into deep thought, explaining the information he possessed to Qian Yu in detail.

Qian Yu was certain that the Life Forest mentioned by Xie Yue was very likely the Blue Silver Forest.

That eighty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King was likely hiding within it.

The Six-Winged Angel martial soul already possessed healing attributes.

Therefore, a plant-type martial soul containing powerful life force would not conflict with his own; he might even obtain a powerful healing-type soul skill.

For someone like him who already possessed Twin Martial Souls, sacrificing one Soul Ring to gain a healing-type soul skill was a very sensible trade-off.

"The target for my next Soul Ring is the Blue Silver King!"

Qian Yu made his decision immediately.

However, he also knew that this soul-hunting mission might carry risks.

After all, the Blue Silver Empress had already been resurrected.

If they encountered her, it would be dangerous.

Given their current strength, they could handle the Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin, but the real difficulty would be Tang Hao.

Nevertheless, Qian Yu felt that such a crisis could be mitigated.

Although the Blue Silver Empress was the sovereign of the Blue Silver Grass, she had never seemed to do anything reliable as a ruler, nor had she made any contributions to her own kind.

After her resurrection, she stayed by Tang Hao's side every day, backed by a god-son, and never cared whether her identity as a soul beast living in a human city would attract the covetous eyes of others.

As long as they investigated and confirmed the whereabouts of Ah Yin and Tang Hao, they could find an opportunity to strike.

Qian Yu then sent a secret letter to Hu Liena and the others, instructing them to prepare.

A month is a long time, yet it can also be incredibly fleeting.

Qian Yu received the information from Hu Liena and the others; the Porcupinefish Douluo had successfully broken through to level 94, and the Snake Lance Douluo was not far from level 94 himself.

The most exaggerated progress was that of Yan. When he absorbed his eighth Soul Ring, he had already reached level 82. Afterward, with the help of immortal herbs and other methods to stabilize his foundation, he naturally broke through to level 83. Once his cultivation was solidified, he fused with that seventy-thousand-year-old torso bone, and his soul power surged directly to level 86.

He was now not far from level 87.

According to him, as long as no accidents occurred, he would certainly break through to become a Title Douluo within two years.

Hu Liena's cultivation had also reached level 84. Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty was not a perfect match for her, it was still an immortal herb, and the boost to her talent and power was quite astonishing.

On the contrary, it was Xie Yue who had the lowest cultivation, having just broken through to level 77 not long ago.

As for Qian Yu himself, he had naturally succeeded in breaking through to level 40.

Everything was ready, and it was time to hunt for souls once more.

Everyone was extremely cautious; they viewed Qian Yu as their final hope, and even if they had the opportunity to break through themselves, they were willing to temporarily set it aside to help Qian Yu hunt his soul beast.

"It has been confirmed. Tang Hao and the woman named Ah Yin are currently within the Clear Sky Sect."

"The selection for the new Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects is approaching. Tang Hao will be representing the Clear Sky Sect, so there is a high probability they will not leave during this period."

Xie Yue relayed all the relevant information he had gathered to Qian Yu.

Regarding intelligence, while Martial Soul Hall had valued it in the past, they had never truly taken concrete action.

During his time by Qian Yu's side, Xie Yue had learned a great deal.

He learned how to extract desired intelligence through minor figures, how to synthesize seemingly unrelated pieces of information, and how to see the signs of autumn in a single falling leaf—making bold conjectures and verifying them with caution.

Xie Yue felt that if the previous Martial Soul Hall had possessed such talent, perhaps they would not have suffered defeat.

Therefore, he studied everything Qian Yu taught him with the utmost seriousness.

He treated every word and action as a golden rule.

In the eyes of the current Xie Yue, Qian Yu's authority even surpassed that of the Angel God.

"Let them continue to bask in their glory. We shall initiate our next move while they are in the midst of hosting their grand celebration."

Qian Yu smiled as he delivered his conclusion, his eyes sharp and piercing.

Leaving Lüzhu in Heaven Dou City, the two departed quietly to rendezvous with Hu Liena and the others at the Heaven Dou Forest.

Their target: the Blue Silver King within the Blue Silver Forest.

They remained cautious throughout the journey, ensuring they did not reveal their identities.

They soon arrived at their destination, the domain of the Blue Silver King.

"It seems to be hidden quite deeply, doesn't it?"

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo utilized their spiritual power to search for the Blue Silver King.

Despite being two Title Douluo, they were unable to detect any trace of the Blue Silver King.

Deep within this forest, the Blue Silver King held the absolute home-field advantage; as long as it remained hidden, even a Title Douluo could not track it down.

"Burn the mountain down!"

Qian Yu pondered for a moment before making a rather ruthless decision, then turned his gaze toward Yan.

Yan had long been itching for action; upon hearing Qian Yu's words, he immediately manifested his martial soul.
