Bloodline Advancement

Fog Mountain.

Dugu Bo and Yang Shelly stood on either side of the mountaintop, keeping a close watch on the surrounding forest, ready to guard against any possible danger.

Beside the "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well" in the mountainside, Ling Yi did not rush to Martial Soul Evolution. Instead, he took Ah Yin and wandered among the rare and precious flowers and herbs.

These naturally occurring celestial treasures and rare gems have now been organized and arranged by Ling Yi, becoming well-organized.

The cold-attribute springs are located on the "Extreme Cold Yin Spring" side, the hot-attribute springs are located on the "Scorching Yang Spring" side, and the neutral springs are located at the two locations where the two types of springs meet.

Furthermore, based on the strength of their energy, these celestial items and rare treasures are arranged in a stepped and fan-shaped order, extending all the way to the foot of the surrounding mountain walls.

It was only with the help of Ah Yin, the 100,000-year-old "Blue Silver Emperor" that Ling Yi was able to achieve such harmony and unity among the "spring water," "land," and "spiritual plants" on his own, even with his mental power far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Master.

In the southeast corner of the mountain, no candles were lit, yet the area still emitted a soft, blue-green glow.

Clumps of "Blue Silver Grass" are growing thriving here, none of them are less than five thousand years old, and the vast majority are over nine thousand years old.

As Ling Yi and Ah Yin approached hand in hand, every "Blue Silver Grass" began to sway, its leaves bowing low as if paying homage to a king on his tour.

As if sensing each other's thoughts, they turned their heads and met each other's eyes, their pupils reflecting the smiling faces of the other.

Without a word, the tacit understanding developed over the years brought their hands together, and the azure light of their Soul Power shone between their palms, leaking out from their tightly clasped fingers.

On the west side of the mountaintop, perhaps sensing a familiar aura, Yang Shelly subconsciously turned around and looked at the ground on the mountaintop, which was transformed from the Soul Guidance Array, her teeth clenched.

Across from him, Dugu Bo, who had also sensed the presence, seemed to hear a 'crunching' sound in his ears. He twitched his beard, did not turn around, and focused intently on observing the forest within a 180-degree field of vision ahead.

Inside the mountain, the two who had completed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill merged their minds and, with their spiritual power amplified, instantly brought the "Blue Silver Grass" within a radius of nearly a hundred miles under their sight.

That wasn't all. Just then, the dozens of "Blue Silver Grass" around them, each over five thousand years old, began to emit blue Soul Power, spreading towards Ling Yi and Ah Yin. Eventually, with the two of them letting it go, they merged into their Soul Power.

"Buzz—!!!"

The moment the Soul Power was connected, the originally invisible connection of perception transformed into powerful ripples visible to the naked eye, directly penetrating the thick mountains around it, pushing the ' Blue Silver Domain ', which was originally limited to a range of a hundred miles, to an even farther location once again.

One hundred and twenty li, one hundred and fifty li, two hundred li... three hundred li!

Leaving aside the southeast direction, Ling Yi could already vaguely see the city wall of "Heaven Dou City" that was over a hundred meters high to the west.

Thanks to Dugu Bo, who has traveled to most parts of the Sunset Forest over the past six months.

Wherever he went, he scattered "Blue Silver Grass" seeds. To ensure the successful growth of these "Blue Silver Grass" seeds, Dugu Bo would sometimes clear away other flowers, grasses, and shrubs to make room for the "Blue Silver Grass" to grow.

So thoughtful, so incredibly thoughtful!

Faced with such Dugu Bo, there was no doubt that once the division and cultivation of those rare and exotic flowers and herbs were successful, this number one protector would definitely be given a main character package, Ling Yi thought to himself.

Putting aside his gratitude towards Dugu Bo, Ling Yi focused his attention on the continuous flow of "Blue Silver Grass" Soul Power.

With a thought, Ah Yin, whose mind and spirit were intertwined, received Ling Yi's message. After preparing herself, the connection between her Soul Power and Ling Yi's was severed, and her two hands, which had been clasped together, were released. She quickly retreated until her back pressed against the hard, rough cliff wall before stopping.

On the other side, with Ah Yin's departure, the ' Blue Silver Domain ' that had been maintaining itself perfectly immediately began to flicker like a television screen with an unstable signal, with static-like mosaics appearing and disappearing intermittently, shaking in Ling Yi's mind.

Those were scenes from various places within a radius of more than 300 miles: dappled sunlight in deep forests, strong winds blowing on steep mountain peaks, mist rising from the banks of babbling streams, dust swirling beside flat official roads, and people coming and going at the foot of moss-covered stone steps...

Wherever "Blue Silver Grass" grows, there is a pair of "eyes".

At that moment, Ling Yi's mind instantly Meditative Trance state of tranquility, clear skies, and a complete absence of distracting thoughts.

With no thoughts arising and no intentions arising, one transforms one's mind into a still lake reflecting the starry sky and the Full Moon.

On the lake, various scenes reappeared, gradually stabilizing from a shaky, pixelated quality.

360P, 480P, 720P, 1080P...

Blurry, smooth, clear, high definition, ultra-high definition...

The moment all the images became crystal clear, Ling Yi's indifferent expression, which had been clouded by Meditative Trance, suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but furrow his brows, causing Ah Yin, who was watching from more than ten meters away, to feel a pang of anxiety.

Fortunately, Ling Yi's expression returned to calm in an instant, making Ah Yin almost think that she was seeing things and that Ling Yi's change in expression was just an illusion.

As the person involved, Ling Yi certainly knew that it was not an illusion.

In that instant, before he could even savor the supreme state of having everything within a radius of hundreds of miles under his control, the mental energy that was being consumed like mercury spilling onto the ground dealt Ling Yi a blow, preventing him from becoming immersed in that state.

"The area spanning three hundred li, while far inferior to the environment of the [Water Wood Duchy], is sufficient for the unique environment of this ' Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well'— "

After briefly experiencing the power that only the "Blue Silver Emperor" could possess, Ling Yi calmed his mind and turned his attention to himself.

Although Ah Yin had severed the connection, Ling Yi was still able to maintain the "Blue Silver Domain" thanks to the support of dozens of "Blue Silver Grass" that were over five thousand years old around him, temporarily fixing his state in a "Pseudo- Blue Silver Emperor" state.

In this state, Ling Yi could clearly sense that the thousands upon thousands of "Blue Silver Grass" within a radius of more than 300 miles were transmitting a strange fluctuation to him.

More illusory than thought, more intangible than spiritual power, it resembles faith, yet also recognition.

"Emperor—! Emperor—! Emperor—! Emperor—! ..."

A series of barely perceptible sounds rang out in Ling Yi's mind, growing louder and louder, from as faint as a mosquito's buzz to as loud as a great bell, echoing in Ling Yi's soul.

As the strange phenomenon appeared in his soul, Ling Yi's bloodline began to boil. The extreme cold and heat radiating from the "Extreme Cold Yin Spring" and the "Scorching Yang Spring" silently invaded Ling Yi's body, intertwining and surging together with the Martial Soul bloodline belonging to "Blue Silver Grass".

Ice, fire, and wood—the three attributes—began to go berserk, affecting every inch of Ling Yi's body, from the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians to the five internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, and bones!

Ignoring the chaotic turmoil within his body, and under Ah Yin's worried gaze, Ling Yi remained calm and composed, assuming a fighting stance and beginning to move.

Starting with "The Farmer's Three Forms," then moving on to the twelve bird and beast forms of "Basic Body Tempering Technique," and finally to "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Form" and the advanced version of "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Form," Ling Yi practiced them all. His skin turned blood red, and he looked as if he had been boiled. Finally, he started practicing "Two Aspects Fist."

Yin and Yang are infinite, ice and fire are dualistic, the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things...

Amidst the interplay of ice and fire, the unique green of wood, starting from a tiny, firefly-like glimmer, gradually grew stronger until finally, behind Ling Yi, it manifested as a lush, verdant blade of grass.

Just then, the voice echoing in Ling Yi's mind was still loud, but its content had changed.

"King! King! King! King!..."
