Tang Chen did not pay much attention to Blue Lightning's actions. They were merely here to apologize.
But since they had come, they had to pay a price. One-third of their resources was that price.
"It wasn't Blue Lightning who acted. They encountered them before Lie'er and the others died. With that trash's strength, he couldn't have been Lie'er's match."
"Spirit Hall, or Soul Beasts."
"If it was Spirit Hall, I could still go and make trouble for them. If it was Soul Beasts..."
Tang Chen now hoped even more that Spirit Hall had acted. That way, he would have a reason to trouble Spirit Hall.
However, no matter how much he hoped otherwise, he had a feeling that Tang Lie and the others had encountered powerful Soul Beasts.
Better wait a little longer. This was the perfect opportunity to let the world know that challenging the dignity of the Clear Sky Sect came at a price.
"Someone, spread the news that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has compensated the Clear Sky Sect."
"Let everyone on this continent know!"
Tang Chen issued the order coldly, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Blue Lightning's arrival had instead given him room to make a show of it.
While the outside world bustled with excitement, Xu Xiao, the instigator of it all, had already returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
Only after returning to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well did Xu Xiao finally relax completely.
Tang Lie's side had already been dealt with, and Xu Xiao was confident that no one knew he had done it.
Taking out the Spirit Pagoda, Xu Xiao enlarged it and placed it beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then called out the Blue Silver Emperor and the others.
The moment the Blue Silver Emperor emerged, she sensed the dense vitality. The life energy here was incomparable to that of the Blue Silver Forest—far richer, and of a much higher level.
"Xu Xiao, this place is truly perfect for me!"
The Blue Silver Emperor greedily absorbed the energy here. She did not want to leave. If she cultivated here continuously, she was confident that she could reach two hundred thousand years in just over a decade, even without resources.
This place was truly perfect for her.
It was even more suitable than the Blue Silver Forest.
The corners of Xu Xiao's lips lifted slightly. If it had not been suitable, he would not have brought her here.
In the original story, Little Bastard had cultivated the Blue Silver Emperor's Seed of Life here, allowing Ah Yin to come back to life without even needing many years.
It could be said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was paradise for all plants.
How could the Blue Silver Emperor not love it?
"Senior, don't touch that red-and-blue lake water, or it will be dangerous," Xu Xiao reminded her.
Those words were not only meant for the Blue Silver Emperor, but also for Chen Xin, Dragon Duke, and Snake Granny.
It was Chen Xin, Dragon Duke, and Snake Granny's first time here as well, so naturally they needed the warning.
"Don't worry, Xu Xiao. From now on, I will guard this place!"
As she spoke, the Blue Silver Emperor began taking root before everyone. Blue-gold vines gradually spread out, wrapping around and enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The blue-gold vines began absorbing the surrounding energy.
Xu Xiao was not worried that she would drain this place dry, because that was impossible.
The Blue Silver Emperor's true body appeared beside the king of Immortal Herbs, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Where the king of Immortal Herbs grew was naturally where the energy was most concentrated.
Xu Xiao did not stop her. The Blue Silver Emperor's growth would benefit him as well.
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were already too shocked to speak at the sight.
The two of them had once wanted to rob the Hall Master. Thinking about it now, they truly had been brave back then.
If they had children in the future, they could brag about it: your mother and I once robbed the Hall Master.
"Brothers, Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, come over!"
Xu Xiao called to them, and everyone sat beneath the towering Blue Silver Emperor.
The Blue Silver Emperor condensed several stools from her vines, and everyone took their seats.
Xu Xiao's gaze fell on Snake Granny. "Snake Granny, come here!"
Snake Granny looked utterly confused, but she still obediently walked before Xu Xiao.
"Fifth Brother, it is time for you to learn why I wouldn't let you hunt Soul Rings."
Chen Xin stared straight at Xu Xiao. He wanted to see what this was really about.
He had asked Fourth Brother within the Spirit Ascension Platform, but Fourth Brother had only explained the benefits of the Spirit Ascension Platform and never said why Eldest Brother would not let him hunt Soul Rings.
Moreover, he was curious how his eldest and second brothers had managed to have thousand-year Soul Rings as their first Soul Rings.
Xu Xiao smiled and raised his hand. "First Soul Skill: Soul Bestowal!"
In an instant, the massive Spirit Pagoda radiated platinum light, layer after layer wrapping around Snake Granny.
A purple Soul Ring formed beneath her feet.
The shackles binding Snake Granny's Soul Power shattered at that moment.
Chen Xin, the Blue Silver Emperor, and Dragon Duke stared at the scene in disbelief.
"This..."
"Is this something a human can do?"
"Xu Xiao, you...!"
The three of them were already too shocked to speak.
"Everyone, get used to it. From now on, you only need to hunt Soul Rings for me."
"I will add your Soul Rings for you!"
"For the rest of the time, focus on cultivating properly."
"Do you still have any questions now?"
Xu Xiao smiled at the stunned group. Yue Guan and the other two already knew about this, so they did not react much.
Before Chen Xin and the others could speak, the Blue Silver Emperor stared blankly at Xu Xiao and asked, "Xu Xiao, tell me, can this Soul Skill of yours work for every Soul Ring?"
Xu Xiao nodded repeatedly. "Senior, naturally it can."
The Blue Silver Emperor was overjoyed. "Can you add Soul Rings for everyone?"
Xu Xiao nodded again.
"Good, good, good. Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao, you have truly given me an enormous surprise."
"You must spread this."
"Xu Xiao, I will support you well."
The Blue Silver Emperor had already seen a future where the Soul Beast race no longer became Soul Rings. She had already seen the Soul Beast race flourishing once more.
This Soul Skill did not merely benefit humans. For the Soul Beast race, it was an instrument of revival.
Xu Xiao knew what the Blue Silver Emperor was thinking, but whether he could cooperate with the Soul Beast race would depend on their sincerity.
Xu Xiao had already set his sights on Di Tian.
Di Tian was still alive, an existence who had participated in the God Realm war.
If Xu Xiao wanted to create his own Godhood, he had to study the God Realm, and the God Realm war was the most important reference.
To experience that battle, he could only rely on the Spirit Pagoda and Di Tian's memories.
Even if he could not obtain the final outcome, Xu Xiao still believed it would be worth it to witness so many gods and see the Dragon God.
Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—Xu Xiao truly coveted those two.
As a transmigrator, Xu Xiao was probably the first person to dare imagine making Di Tian into a Soul Ring.
If possible, Xu Xiao actually wanted to make the Silver Dragon King into a Soul Ring too. But he could only think about it, because that was impossible.
If you dared entertain that thought, Di Tian would definitely be the first to kill you.
However, making Di Tian into a Soul Ring was still somewhat possible.
On this side, the more the Blue Silver Emperor thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could make Xu Xiao a Titled Douluo immediately.
As she thought, blue-gold light radiated from the Blue Silver Emperor's body and enveloped Xu Xiao.
Blue Silver Grass pierced into Xu Xiao's body, and dense life force began coursing through him.
