Lan Xuanyu: What Use Do I Have for This Blue Silver Grass? (Seeking Collection and Follow-up Reads)
Lingdou City, Xuanming Sect.
After being forced to sign a series of unequal treaties, including five years of indentured servitude and a debt repayment of at least twenty gold soul coins, a dark-faced Lan Xuanyu finally awaited his martial soul awakening ceremony.
Watching the six awakening stones being placed around him, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but tremble, even though he had already experienced this once before.
Although Lan Xuanyu didn't dare hope for a miracle, deep down he still wished that the Dragon God bloodline, which was vital to him, had followed him through his rebirth.
After the soul master in charge of the awakening at the Xuanming Sect released his soul power, the six awakening stones emitted a soft blue glow, warmly enveloping Lan Xuanyu's body to awaken the sleeping martial soul within him.
"Resurrect—no, awaken! My martial soul!"
A cluster of azure light emerged from the palms of his hands, shooting straight upward for over a meter, revealing its true form as it swayed and danced in the air.
Without a doubt, it was the sole legacy of the Tang family, the symbol of their bloodline: Blue Silver Grass.
"!?"
Blue Silver Grass?! Why was it Blue Silver Grass!
A wave of intense disappointment surged in Lan Xuanyu's heart. What the hell was the use of this Blue Silver Grass martial soul?!
He wanted the Dragon God bloodline, the Dragon God bloodline!
He sighed helplessly, but what else could he do? He had to face reality and cultivate with this martial soul for the time being.
The awakening master, looking at the awakening ball overflowing with blue light in his hand, said in surprise, "Hiss, this is... innate full soul power? How can a Blue Silver Grass martial soul have innate full soul power?!"
Lan Xuanyu looked back, somewhat startled, but soon the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, carrying a very confident smile.
What was there to be surprised about? He, Lan Xuanyu, was the dignified reincarnation of the Dragon God. Even without the Dragon God bloodline, his powerful talent could not be obscured by any adversity.
Only then did Lan Xuanyu notice that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was a bit different.
Looking closely, one could see that the stems of this so-called Blue Silver Grass bore silver patterns, and the aura of life was rich and thick, far stronger than the common Blue Silver Grass seen everywhere on the streets.
Lan Xuanyu was certain that this was by no means ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
After all, in his previous life, his martial souls were the twin [Gold-Patterned Blue Silver Grass] and [Silver-Patterned Blue Silver Grass]. Of course, those were merely the external manifestations of the Dragon God bloodline, but he was naturally quite familiar with this martial soul.
In Lan Xuanyu's view, because he lacked the Dragon God bloodline, his martial soul was purely plant-based. The grade of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul was not the [Blue Silver Emperor], the sovereign of Blue Silver Grass that his father, grandfather, and great-grandmother possessed.
To be precise, it should be considered a [Blue Silver King], a rank just below the [Blue Silver Emperor].
Even if it wasn't a super martial soul, it was definitely a top-tier one, and it was in no way inferior to the Xuanming Sect's hereditary martial soul, the [Xuanming Turtle].
The fact that a genius with innate full soul power could be awakened among a group of servants naturally drew the attention of the Xuanming Sect. One had to know that among commoners, if one in twenty could awaken innate soul power, it was already cause for celebration; a genius with innate full soul power was simply unimaginable.
This news quickly reached the upper echelons of the Xuanming Sect.
"So, this child named Lan Xuanyu is a newly joined servant? How rare. A Blue Silver Grass martial soul with innate full soul power... could it be..."
As if thinking of something, the Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect paused, suppressed his excitement, and whispered to the steward, "Train him first, then focus on cultivating him."
In history, there was only one person with innate full soul power Blue Silver Grass!
Perhaps...
Nighttime.
Because of his innate full soul power talent, Lan Xuanyu received special attention from the Xuanming Sect, and his living quarters were moved from the original thatched hut to a small, single-story courtyard.
Lying on the comfortable bed, Lan Xuanyu did not fall asleep. With his hands behind his head, he stared at the ceiling, his mind constantly thinking.
He had finally settled down. The next step was to cultivate and grow stronger, then find a way to join Shrek Academy.
As for the Xuanming Sect's so-called "focused cultivation"? It was just talk. Their task was to awaken his martial soul, and since that goal had been achieved, they were no longer useful. Did he really intend to stay in this place for the rest of his life?
His goal was to become a god, and specifically, the Dragon God!
But... how was he supposed to cultivate this Blue Silver King martial soul?
Lan Xuanyu tossed and turned in frustration. In his previous life, due to the uniqueness of his bloodline, his soul rings were self-produced, so he had no experience in hunting soul beasts. He hadn't gone to the Spirit Transmission Tower to obtain soul spirits, but to blow up their Spirit Ascension Platform planes to absorb the immortal spiritual energy.
Thinking back, his previous life was truly exhilarating! Unlike now, where he had to worry about how to cultivate...
At this point in time, his uncle-in-law Dai Yuhao had not yet established the Spirit Transmission Tower, so he had no chance to obtain a soul spirit. But if he had to hunt soul beasts to absorb soul rings, which ones should he hunt?
He had not forgotten his identity as the Dragon God from his previous life. He was the true master of soul beasts. Even if he had to hunt soul beasts for soul rings, he would only do as he had done on Tianlong Planet: hunt those dragon beasts that had already earned their own destruction.
Yes, even if his martial soul had changed, Lan Xuanyu would still walk the path of the Dragon God.
However... his specialty was the power of the Dragon God—that is, strength and elemental control—and the life attribute of the Blue Silver King martial soul had nothing to do with either.
What should he do?
After tossing and turning in bed for half the night, a sudden flash of inspiration made Lan Xuanyu think of his grandfather, the God of Wisdom Tang San, and his journey of rebirth on Falan Planet.
Grandfather Sea God Tang San had developed the ability to devour the bloodlines of others using the Mysterious Heaven Technique. In order to find his grandmother Xiao Wu after she sacrificed herself and reincarnated, he relied on this ability on the Falan Planet system. Within ten years, he had relied on devouring the bloodlines of high-level life forms to cultivate to the god level, and even evolved his [Blue Silver Emperor] martial soul into the [Chaos Blue Silver Emperor]. By mastering the two supreme attributes of Yin and Yang, he surpassed his previous life in one fell swoop, reaching the level of a supreme God King and becoming an existence on par with the Dragon God.
In Lan Xuanyu's view, if his grandfather could do it, there was no reason why he, the strongest and most outstanding descendant of the Tang family, could not.
He scrambled out of bed, sat cross-legged, placed his palms inward, and silently began to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Technique within his body.
If his hypothesis could be realized, then he might be able to come into contact with the [Dragon God's Power] ahead of schedule!
Outside Xingluo City, the villa of Huo Yuhao's family.
Inside a master bedroom on the second floor, two breathtakingly beautiful goddess-like figures lay nestled against Baili Du. There was no need to ask what they had been doing just moments before.
The woman leaning against Baili Du's left side had long, snow-white hair draped over them both. Her perfect, delicate face, as cold and noble as a plum blossom in frost, was filled with a look of utter satisfaction. Her azure eyes, clear as the sky, were brimming with languor and tenderness; the contrasting temperaments of a celestial fairy and a woman of desire blended seamlessly within her.
To his right, the other woman had long, sea-blue wavy hair cascading down. Her large blue eyes were clear and pure, and while her beauty was a notch below that of the white-haired woman, she possessed a purity like that of a princess of the sea that was equally captivating.
Her curvaceous figure was also pressed tightly against Baili Du.
These two were none other than the soul spirits Ice Empress and the Mermaid Princess Liya. They were the most important soul spirit family members to Huo Yuhao, and during the Great God Circle era, they had become the... lovers of the Emotion God King, Huo Yuhao.
