Lingdou City, Xuanming Sect.
After being forced to sign a series of unequal agreements—selling himself for five years, repaying at least twenty Gold Soul Coins, and so on—the dark-faced Lan Xuanyu finally awaited the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.
As he watched the six Awakening Stones being placed around him, Lan Xuanyu's heart could not help trembling. Though he had already experienced this once before, he still could not remain calm.
Although Lan Xuanyu did not expect a miracle, he still hoped deep down that the Dragon God Bloodline, so crucial to him, had followed him through rebirth.
After the soul master responsible for awakening Martial Souls in the Xuanming Sect released his Soul Power, the six Awakening Stones emitted a faint blue glow. Warmly enveloping Lan Xuanyu's body, they awakened the Martial Soul slumbering within him.
"Revive... no, awaken! My Martial Soul!"
A cluster of shimmering blue light emerged from his palms and shot upward, rising more than a meter before revealing its true form. It swayed and danced in the air.
There was no doubt about it. It was the single inherited bloodline of the old Tang Family, the symbol of their lineage: Blue Silver Grass.
"!?"
Blue Silver Grass?! Why was it Blue Silver Grass?!
Intense disappointment instantly flooded Lan Xuanyu's heart. What the hell use did he have for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?!
What he wanted was the Dragon God Bloodline, the Dragon God Bloodline!
With a helpless sigh, what else could he do? He could only face reality and temporarily cultivate with this Martial Soul.
The awakening master who had awakened his Martial Soul looked at the Awakening Orb overflowing with blue light in his hand and exclaimed in shock, "Hiss, this is... Innate Full Soul Power? A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul actually has Innate Full Soul Power?!"
Lan Xuanyu turned back in surprise, but the corners of his mouth soon curled upward into a confident smile.
What was there to make such a fuss about? He, Lan Xuanyu, was the reincarnation of the mighty Dragon God. Even without the Dragon God Bloodline, his powerful talent could not be concealed by any adversity.
Only then did Lan Xuanyu notice that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was somewhat different.
Looking closely, he could see silver patterns running along the roots and stems of the so-called Blue Silver Grass. Its life aura was dense and vigorous, far stronger than the Blue Silver Grass growing everywhere on the streets.
Lan Xuanyu was certain that this was no ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
After all, in his previous life, his Martial Souls had been the Twin Martial Souls, Gold-Patterned Blue Silver Grass and Silver-Patterned Blue Silver Grass. Of course, those had merely been external manifestations of the Dragon God Bloodline, but he was naturally extremely familiar with this Martial Soul.
In Lan Xuanyu's view, without the Dragon God Bloodline, his Martial Soul had become a purely plant-type Martial Soul. The grade of this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was not the Blue Silver Emperor, the emperor among Blue Silver Grass possessed by his father, grandfather, and great-grandmother.
To be more precise, it should be considered a Blue Silver King, an existence second only to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Even if it was not a super Martial Soul, it was absolutely a top-tier Martial Soul, no weaker than the Xuanming Turtle, the hereditary Martial Soul of the Xuanming Sect.
The awakening of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power among a group of servants naturally drew the attention of the Xuanming Sect. After all, among commoners, having even one person out of twenty awaken Innate Soul Power was already cause for celebration. A genius with Innate Full Soul Power was simply beyond imagination.
This news quickly alarmed the upper ranks of the Xuanming Sect.
"This child named Lan Xuanyu is a newly recruited servant, correct? How rare. A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul actually has Innate Full Soul Power. Could it be..."
As though he had thought of something, the sect master of the Xuanming Sect paused, suppressed his excitement, and quietly instructed his steward, "Train him first, then focus on nurturing him."
Throughout history, there had only been one person with Innate Full Soul Power and a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!
Perhaps...
Night.
Thanks to his talent of Innate Full Soul Power, Lan Xuanyu received special attention from the Xuanming Sect. His residence was also upgraded from a thatched hut to a single-story courtyard.
Lying on the comfortable bed, Lan Xuanyu did not sleep. With his hands behind his head, he stared at the ceiling while his mind continued turning over countless thoughts.
At last, he had settled down safely. Next, he needed to keep cultivating and growing stronger, then find a way to enter Shrek Academy.
As for the Xuanming Sect's so-called special nurturing? It was enough to hear it and nothing more. Their task had been to awaken his Martial Soul. Since their purpose had already been fulfilled, they were no longer useful to him. Was he supposed to remain in this place for the rest of his life?
His goal was to become a god—and the Dragon God at that!
It was just... how exactly was he supposed to cultivate this Blue Silver King Martial Soul?
Lan Xuanyu turned over irritably. In his previous life, due to the special nature of his bloodline, all his soul rings had been self-produced. Thus, he had no experience hunting soul rings. Even when he went to the Spirit Pagoda, it had not been to obtain Soul Spirits, but to blow up their Spirit Ascension Platform dimension and absorb Immortal Spirit Qi.
Thinking back on it now, his previous life had been incredible! Unlike now, when he still had to agonize over how to cultivate...
At this point in time, Uncle Dai Yuhao had not yet established the Spirit Pagoda, so he had no chance to obtain a Soul Spirit. But if he were to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings, what kind of soul beast should he kill?
He had not forgotten his identity as the Dragon God in his previous life. He had been the true ruler of soul beasts. Even if he had to kill soul beasts to obtain soul rings, he would only do as he had on Tianlong Planet and kill those dragon beasts that had earned their deaths.
Yes, even though his Martial Soul had changed, the path Lan Xuanyu intended to follow was still the path of the Dragon God.
It was just... what he excelled at was Dragon God power, namely strength and elemental control. The life attribute of the Blue Silver King Martial Soul had nothing to do with either of those.
What should he do?
After tossing and turning in thought for most of the night, a sudden flash of inspiration made Lan Xuanyu think of his grandfather Tang San, the God of Wisdom, and his rebirth journey on Falan Planet.
Grandfather Tang San, the Sea God, had developed the ability to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill to devour others' bloodlines. To search for Grandma Xiao Wu after her reincarnation following her death for love, he had relied on this ability in the Falan Galaxy. In less than ten years, he had cultivated to godhood by devouring the bloodlines of higher life forms. He had even evolved the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul into the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor, controlling the two supreme attributes of ultimate yin and ultimate yang. In one stroke, he surpassed his previous life and reached the level of a supreme God King, becoming an existence on equal footing with the Dragon God.
In Lan Xuanyu's eyes, if his grandfather could do it, then as the strongest and most outstanding descendant of the Tang Family, there was no reason he could not do it as well.
He sprang from the bed and sat cross-legged, turning his palms inward as he silently began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body.
If his idea could be realized, then he might very well come into contact with Dragon God power ahead of time!
Outside Xingluo City, at Huo Yuhao's villa.
Inside a master bedroom on the second floor, the exquisite bodies of two goddess-like women leaned against Baili Du. There was no need to ask what they had been doing earlier...
The woman leaning against Baili Du's left side had long, snow-white hair draped over both of them. Her flawless face, cold and noble as a frost-covered snow plum, was filled with satisfaction. Her sky-blue eyes brimmed with languid charm and seduction. The completely opposing temperaments of an immortal fairy and a sensual woman blended perfectly within her at this moment.
Meanwhile, the woman on his right had long, wavy sea-blue hair cascading down her body. Her large blue eyes were clear and pure. Though her appearance was slightly inferior to that of the white-haired woman, her innocence, like that of a princess of the sea, was equally captivating.
Her curvaceous figure was likewise pressed tightly against Baili Du.
These two were the Soul Spirits Ice Empress and the mermaid princess Liya. They were Huo Yuhao's most important Soul Spirit family members, and during the era of the Great God Circle, they had become the lovers of Huo Yuhao, the Emotion God King.
