Humm—
The instant the Blue Silver King finished speaking, ten thousand Blue Silver Grasses deep in the Blue Silver Forest swayed in unison, as if welcoming the arrival of some sacred moment.
The next instant, countless strands of pale blue light burst from the entire forest. They grew brighter and brighter, finally gathering slowly in midair into a blue-and-gold crown radiating an aura of nobility and majesty.
The moment it took shape, the crown drifted down and settled firmly atop Tang San's head.
Almost at the same time, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul in his hand bloomed of its own accord with the radiance unique to the Blue Silver Emperor. The golden patterns that had lain dormant across it lit up in an instant, as though awakened!
As the patterns flowed, a pure, profound azure domain spread out from the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
Blue Silver Domain!
The instant the domain descended, the entire Blue Silver Forest erupted. Countless Blue Silver Grasses seemed to feel its call and poured their strength into it without pause.
The Blue Silver Domain expanded at an astonishing speed, covering tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. Everywhere it reached, the Blue Silver Grass grew wildly at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Even the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King, thanks to the Blue Silver Domain, broke through by more than 5,000 years in cultivation.
No one knew how much time passed before the azure domain finally began to contract, slowly merging back into Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
The Blue Silver Grass all around them had grown several times taller than before, without exception, and brimmed with almost surging vitality.
Just as the domain settled completely, the Blue Silver King's voice rang out slowly through the forest. Its words were solemn and clear.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Please accept the offerings of the children of the Blue Silver Grass Clan!"
As the words fell, countless blue motes of light separated from the Blue Silver Grass and surged into Tang San's body.
Soon, a white Soul Ring formed beneath his feet, its color beginning to deepen.
"Your Majesty, this is the most suitable Life-Bound Spirit Ring our Blue Silver Grass Clan can provide you."
"This Soul Ring will grant you the Soul Skill best suited to you, and its age will grow alongside the limits your body can endure."
"In theory, there is no limit to how old it can become."
Tang San was overjoyed. He understood all too well how precious this Soul Ring was.
As long as he devoted himself to cultivation in the future, reaching a second ring of one hundred thousand years would only be a matter of time!
Wrapped in blue-and-gold light, Tang San sat cross-legged as the Mysterious Heaven Skill began circulating through his body in a steady rhythm.
"The new emperor's ascension is now complete."
In an instant, the entire Blue Silver Forest murmured in unison, as though all life were paying homage. Their voices joined as one—
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
Tang San had already completed his transition from Blue Silver Crown Prince to Blue Silver Emperor before arriving at the Blue Silver Forest. Thus, aside from granting him the Blue Silver Domain and a Life-Bound Spirit Ring, the Blue Silver Crown formed during this coronation was mostly symbolic.
As a result, much of the pure energy that should have been gathered for Tang San's true awakening remained unused.
The Blue Silver King turned to Jiang Li with a reverent expression. "Esteemed human expert, thank you for caring for our emperor all these years. Please accept this energy as a token of gratitude from the Blue Silver Grass Clan."
With those words, the Blue Silver King directed the pure energy into Jiang Li's body.
He, of course, accepted without hesitation.
In an instant, Jiang Li's entire body was filled with rich vitality.
The energy steadily strengthened the Soul Rings he had already absorbed.
Their ages began to rise without pause.
Oh? Is that all?
Jiang Li had originally thought the Blue Silver King would give him a Life-Bound Spirit Ring just like Tang San's. But if all it did was increase the ages of his Soul Rings, it was somewhat underwhelming.
In that case, it was time to give these foolish Blue Silver Grasses a taste of the shock that came with the methods of an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon!
Jiang Li summoned the Deep Blue Panel, which only he could see, for the first time in a long while. At the shift of his intent, surges of mysterious power rapidly poured into his body.
An essence aura that shared the same origin as the Blue Silver Emperor continuously radiated from Jiang Li. Nearby, fine blue droplets flowed spontaneously from the Blue Silver Grasses.
Then the droplets turned into specks of light and drifted into Jiang Li's body.
In just a moment, a special membrane of light formed around him, made from the life force gathered by the Blue Silver Grass. It enveloped Jiang Li completely.
"How can this be?"
"Why is his aura turning into the emperor's?"
The Blue Silver King felt as though its CPU was about to burn out. Even with all its years of life, it had never seen anything like this.
The Blue Silver Grass Clan could have only one Blue Silver Emperor in any given era. Otherwise, no matter how extraordinary one's talent, one's age could never exceed 99,999 years.
But the Blue Silver King's shock was quickly replaced by resolve. What would it mean for two emperors to appear in the same generation?
The Blue Silver Grass Clan was destined to flourish!
"Children, please help our second emperor as well!"
At the Blue Silver King's words, even more blue motes of light flowed into Jiang Li's body...
Time passed second by second, and the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor around Jiang Li grew ever stronger.
Humm—
A gentle blue radiance spread out around him in waves.
When Jiang Li reappeared outside, his hair had turned the same sea-blue shade as Tang San's, and his features had grown noticeably softer as well.
The Blue Silver Plastic Surgery Technique was truly terrifying!
Beneath his feet, his hovering Soul Rings finally became purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red!
With the Blue Silver Grass Clan's contribution, his Seventh Soul Ring had transformed into a Life-Bound Spirit Ring just like Tang San's. It could grow stronger along with his own strength.
A life aura even more majestic and awe-inspiring than Tang San's suddenly surged from Jiang Li.
His formidable Blue Silver Domain spread out with it. Everywhere it reached, the Blue Silver Grass seemed to awaken, erupting into joyful cries as it grew wildly.
Under the domain's cover, they could not only feel their cultivation rising at an astonishing speed, but also sensed their bloodlines transforming at their very roots, growing stronger than ever before!
In Jiang Li's hand, red and blue threads crisscrossed with golden ones. His Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul coiled upward and fluttered in the breeze. His voice was calm and gentle, like a mother's hand. "Blue Silver King, thank you for your help. Please accept this life energy as my gift to the children."
The Blue Silver King's expression grew utterly reverent. "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"
A thought surfaced in its mind. If the previous emperor were to awaken once more, could the Blue Silver Grass Clan welcome three emperors at once?!
