Tang Chen did not pay much attention to Blue Lightning's actions. They had merely come 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 Tang Lie and the others before they died. With that trash's strength, he couldn't have been Tang Lie's opponent."
"Spirit Hall, Soul Beasts."
"If it was Spirit Hall, I could still go cause them some trouble. But if it was Soul Beasts..."
Tang Chen now hoped even more that Spirit Hall had been responsible. That way, he would have a reason to trouble Spirit Hall.
However, no matter how much he hoped so, he had a feeling that Tang Lie and the others had encountered powerful Soul Beasts.
Better wait a little longer. This was also a good chance 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 gave the order coldly, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Blue Lightning's arrival had given him room to make a display.
And while the outside world was bustling with activity, Xu Xiao, the instigator behind 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 matter 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 came out, she sensed the dense vitality. The life energy here was beyond anything the Blue Silver Forest could compare to. It was richer and of a higher level.
"Xu Xiao, this place is truly too suitable 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 relying on resources.
This place was truly too suitable for her.
Even more suitable than the Blue Silver Forest.
Xu Xiao's lips curled upward slightly. If it had not been suitable, he would not have brought her here.
In the original story, Little Scumbag had placed the Seed of Life of the Blue Silver Emperor here to nurture it, and it had not taken many years for Ah Yin to come back to life.
It could be said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was heaven for all plants.
How could the Blue Silver Emperor not love it?
"Senior, don't touch that red-and-blue lake water, or there will be danger," Xu Xiao still reminded her.
Those words were not only 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 a reminder.
"Don't worry, Xu Xiao. From now on, I'll guard this place!"
As she spoke, the Blue Silver Emperor began taking root before everyone's eyes. Blue-gold vines gradually spread out, winding 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 densest.
Xu Xiao did not stop her. The Blue Silver Emperor growing stronger would also benefit him.
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were so stunned by this sight that they could not speak.
Back then, the two of them had even thought of robbing the Hall Master. Thinking about it now, they truly had been brave.
If they had children in the future, they could brag about it: their mother and I once tried to rob 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 formed several stools from her vines, and everyone took their seats.
Xu Xiao turned his gaze toward Snake Granny. "Snake Granny, come here!"
Snake Granny looked confused, but she still obediently walked before Xu Xiao.
"Fifth Brother, it's time for you to learn why I wouldn't let you hunt Soul Rings."
Chen Xin stared fixedly at Xu Xiao. He wanted to see what this was all about.
When he had asked Fourth Brother within the Spirit Ascension Platform space, Fourth Brother had only explained the benefits of the Spirit Ascension Platform space. He had not said why Eldest Brother would not allow him to hunt Soul Rings.
Moreover, he was curious how his Eldest Brother and Second Brother had obtained 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 enormous Spirit Pagoda emitted 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 this scene in disbelief.
"This..."
"Is this something a human can do?"
"Xu Xiao, you...!"
The three of them were too shocked to speak.
"Get used to it, everyone. From now on, you only need to hunt Soul Rings for me."
"I'll add your Soul Rings for you!"
"For the rest of your time, cultivate 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 their reactions were not particularly great.
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 with every Soul Ring?"
Xu Xiao nodded repeatedly. "Senior, naturally it can."
The Blue Silver Emperor was overjoyed. "You can add Soul Rings to every person?"
Xu Xiao nodded again.
"Good, good, good. Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao, you have truly given me a huge surprise."
"You must spread this."
"Xu Xiao, I will support you properly."
The Blue Silver Emperor had already seen a future where the Soul Beast clan would no longer become Soul Rings. She had already seen the Soul Beast clan flourishing.
This Soul Skill was not merely beneficial to humans. For the Soul Beast clan, 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 clan depended on the sincerity of the Soul Beast clan.
Xu Xiao had already set his sights on Di Tian.
Di Tian was alive, a being who had participated in the God Realm war.
If Xu Xiao wanted to create his own Godhood, he needed to study the God Realm, and the God Realm war was the most important reference.
If he wanted to experience that battle, he could only rely on the Spirit Pagoda and Di Tian's memories.
Even if there was no final result, Xu Xiao still believed it would be worthwhile to witness so many gods and to witness the Dragon God.
Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—Xu Xiao truly coveted these two.
As for daring to make Di Tian into a Soul Ring, Xu Xiao, as a transmigrator, was probably the first.
If possible, Xu Xiao actually wanted to make the Silver Dragon King into a Soul Ring as well. But he could only think about it, because that was impossible.
If he dared entertain such a thought, Di Tian would absolutely be the first to kill him.
However, making Di Tian into a Soul Ring was still somewhat possible.
Meanwhile, the more the Blue Silver Emperor thought about it, the more excited she became. She could not wait to turn Xu Xiao into a Titled Douluo right now.
As she thought, blue-gold light emerged from the Blue Silver Emperor's body and enveloped Xu Xiao.
Blue Silver Grass pierced into Xu Xiao's body, and rich life force began coursing through him.
