Target, Holy Soul Village!

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Qin Chuan did not stop in any city.

He changed into a plain black robe "borrowed" from some unlucky bandit spirit master, used the hood to cover his face—which was handsome to a fault—and galloped toward the Fasinuo Province in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Holy Soul Village was under the jurisdiction of Nuoding City in Fasinuo Province.

An hour later, the outline of a small village appeared on the horizon.

The stone tablet at the entrance of the village, engraved with the three characters "Holy Soul Village," had become somewhat blurred due to wind and sun exposure.

Most of the houses in the village were made of earth and stone, looking rather dilapidated, while wisps of cooking smoke rose from chimneys, carrying a tranquil and peaceful rustic atmosphere.

No one would have guessed that in this unremarkable, remote village, two peerless powerhouses who once shook the entire continent were hidden.

Qin Chuan stopped one kilometer away from the village.

He did not rush in blindly, but instead found a concealed hillside, sat down cross-legged, and quietly activated his Six Paths Reincarnation Eye.

Hum!

Invisible ocular power instantly covered the entire Holy Soul Village and the mountain range behind it.

The scene within the village was laid bare before him.

He saw villagers working in the fields, children chasing and playing at the village entrance, and Old Jack the village head sitting on a rattan chair at his doorway, dozing off.

Everything was exactly as Tang San had described in his memories of this place of origin.

Qin Chuan's "gaze" penetrated the most dilapidated blacksmith shop at the east end of the village.

The shop was empty; a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the forge, and the few finished farm tools in the corner had already rusted.

Tang Hao is not here. A thought stirred in Qin Chuan's mind.

Qin Chuan's "gaze" continued to spread toward the mountain behind the village.

The back mountain was not high, but it was lush with vegetation.

His gaze pierced through layers of trees and rocks, and soon, it locked onto an unusual location.

It was a waterfall several dozen meters high, with water cascading down from the summit, creating a deafening roar and forming a bottomless pool below.

Behind that massive waterfall, a cave was hidden, completely obscured by the curtain of water.

At the entrance of the cave, there was an energy barrier made of extremely powerful spirit power, invisible to the naked eye.

This barrier completely isolated the cave from the outside world; neither sound nor aura could pass through it.

This must have been Tang Hao's handiwork.

Qin Chuan's "gaze" easily penetrated this energy barrier and saw the scene inside the cave.

The interior of the cave was not large, but it was filled with a rich, dense aura of life that could not be dissolved.

In the center of the cave, there was a stone platform formed from natural rock.

On the platform, a strange Blue Silver Grass was growing quietly.

Its entire body presented a crystalline, translucent light blue, with golden patterns covering its leaves. Each leaf looked as if it had been carved from the finest sapphire, emitting a soft and noble glow.

An aura of love and gentleness, originating from the depths of the soul, radiated from this Blue Silver Grass.

Without a doubt, this peculiar Blue Silver Grass was the original body left behind after the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor A Yin had sacrificed herself.

Beside that Blue Silver Grass, a crystalline right leg bone, appearing as if carved from the purest blue crystal, lay quietly on the stone platform.

A spirit bone! And a hundred-thousand-year-level spirit bone at that!

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!

Surrounded by a circle of pale blue golden light of life, its surface flowed with ancient and profound patterns, and that vast life energy was almost condensed into a physical form.

It really is here!

Qin Chuan's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

A hundred-thousand-year spirit bone—this was a supreme treasure capable of driving even a Titled Douluo mad!

That guy Tang San was truly lucky later on, but soon, all of these things would belong to Qin.

Qin Chuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to observe the surroundings with his Reincarnation Eye.

He had to be certain that the drunkard Tang Hao was truly not in the vicinity.

With his current strength, he might still have the power to fight an ordinary Spirit Douluo.

But against a Level 95 Super Douluo like Tang Hao, who once stood at the pinnacle of the continent and possessed a bug-level ultimate technique like the Great Sumeru Hammer, he had no chance of winning.

Once discovered, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.

Qin Chuan's "gaze" carefully swept over every inch of land within a ten-kilometer radius of Holy Soul Village, over and over again.

The forests, fields, rivers, and even the underground caves.

There was absolutely no trace of Tang Hao's aura.

That decadent drunkard seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Heaven is truly helping me! Tang Hao just happens to be away from home today!

Qin Chuan was wild with joy.

He did not know where Tang Hao had gone; perhaps to Nuoding City to buy wine, or perhaps somewhere else entirely.

But that was not important. What mattered was that he had created a once-in-a-lifetime, perfect opportunity for himself!

Qin Chuan no longer hesitated in the slightest.

He leaped from the hillside, his figure transforming into a blurred shadow. In a few flashes, he had already arrived before the massive waterfall.

"BOOM!"

The deafening roar of the water, accompanied by the icy mist rushing toward his face, invigorated his spirit.

Without a moment's pause, he plunged headlong into the thick curtain of water.

The freezing river water instantly soaked his black robe, but the next second, an invisible repulsive force isolated all the water flow from his body.

Passing through the water curtain, the hidden cave, sealed by Tang Hao's energy barrier, appeared before his eyes.

Qin Chuan extended his right hand, his palm facing the invisible barrier.

His Six Paths Reincarnation Eye rotated slightly, the power of the Deva Path flowing through it.

"Break."

He did not use any brute force; he simply used the Reincarnation Eye to analyze the energy structure of the barrier, then used the power of the Deva Path to easily unravel several key energy nodes.

The once-impenetrable energy barrier, like a house with its frame removed, collapsed silently and vanished.

Qin Chuan stepped into the cave.

A life force a hundred times richer than that of the outside world rushed toward him, making every pore on his body feel as if it were opening up.

His gaze fell immediately upon the main body of the Blue Silver Grass on the stone platform and the hundred-thousand-year soul bone emitting an alluring glow.

Qin Chuan walked to the stone platform. Instead of touching the Blue Silver Grass first, he picked up the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

As the soul bone touched his hand, a warm and majestic surge of life energy instantly poured from his palm into his body.

He felt as if his body were soaking in the warmest of springs, every cell cheering and leaping for joy.

Good stuff!

Qin Chuan exclaimed in admiration, wasting no time.

He sat directly on the stone platform and pressed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone against the corresponding position on his right leg.

Then, he locked it with soul power and guided it with his mental energy.

Hum!

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone suddenly erupted with blinding blue light. Within the radiance, the soul bone began to slowly turn ethereal, bit by bit, merging into Qin Chuan's right leg.

An indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout his entire body.

He could feel his right leg undergoing a heaven-defying transformation.

His bones became tougher, his meridians wider, and his muscles filled with explosive power.

More importantly, a vast, inexhaustible life force was taking root and sprouting within his right leg.

Spring breeze blows and life returns! Information about a soul skill appeared automatically in his mind.

The soul skill attached to the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone—Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life!

This was an extremely powerful recovery-type soul skill!

As long as he was not killed instantly, no matter how severe his injuries were, he could rely on this massive life energy to recover rapidly in a very short time!

What a divine life-saving skill! Qin Chuan felt the endless life force in his right leg and felt completely at ease.

With this soul skill, his survivability would take a qualitative leap!

After absorbing the soul bone, Qin Chuan turned his gaze toward the pitiful-looking Blue Silver Grass on the stone platform.

A meaningful smile curled the corners of his lips.

A Yin, don't be afraid. Soon, I will take you away from this cold, damp cave to a warmer, more comfortable place.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor.
