An Eleven-Year-Old Soul Ancestor!

As Bi Ji's voice faded, Ye Lingling's gentle, limpid eyes instantly erupted with unprecedented anticipation and longing.

"Sister Bi Ji, I... I am ready!" Ye Lingling took a deep breath. Although her voice remained soft, it carried an iron-clad resolve.

Bi Ji nodded in satisfaction, then turned and waved her hand gently toward the poison swamp on the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Accompanied by three sounds of breaking air, three massive black shadows were lifted by a gentle soul power and landed steadily on the open ground of the cavern.

The group looked closely and saw three enormous plant-type soul beasts lying on the ground, emitting strange glows.

"The first one is called the 'Pure Heart Bodhi Vine', with a cultivation of exactly two thousand years."

Bi Ji pointed to the plant on the far left, which was pale gold in color and bore several crystal-clear Bodhi fruits on its vines, and introduced it softly:

"This Pure Heart Bodhi Vine grew in a land of extreme Yang, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for a thousand years. It contains an extremely pure 'purification' attribute."

"It is the perfect choice for your first soul ring."

Bi Ji then pointed to the one in the middle:

"The second one is called the 'Ten Thousand Year Green Jade Marrow Ganoderma', with a cultivation of five thousand years."

"It is a deep emerald green, rooted deep within the earth's veins, having absorbed five thousand years of the earth's life essence."

"Its life attribute is incredibly rich. Using it as your second soul ring will greatly expand your reserve of life soul power."

Finally, Bi Ji's gaze fell upon the largest plant on the far right.

"This third one is a ten-thousand-year 'Jade Bone Longevity Flower'." Bi Ji's tone carried a hint of solemnity. "It is one of the most top-tier existences among plant-type soul beasts in terms of life attributes."

"Ten thousand years of cultivation is enough to support the consumption of your third soul ring."

"With it, your Emerald Nine Heart Begonia will be completely stabilized at the level of a top-tier martial soul!"

Listening to Bi Ji's introduction, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were once again plunged into deep shock.

Two thousand years, five thousand years, ten thousand years!

And all of them were extremely rare plant-type soul beasts!

Such a foundation was enough to make one's scalp tingle!

"Go ahead, Lingling." Ling Xuqing stood to the side, his gentle voice acting like a stabilizing force. "I will guard you alongside Bi Ji."

"Mm!"

Ye Lingling nodded heavily and walked up to the two-thousand-year-old Pure Heart Bodhi Vine.

She took a deep breath, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a small dagger materialized.

Without the slightest hesitation, she swung her hand, precisely severing the main vine of the Pure Heart Bodhi Vine.

"Hum—"

With a faint hum, a purple thousand-year soul ring slowly emerged from the corpse of the Pure Heart Bodhi Vine.

Ye Lingling sat cross-legged and, under the dual protection of Ling Xuqing and Bi Ji, began to draw in the purple soul ring.

With the experience of absorbing the immortal herbs and Whale Glue, combined with the guidance of Bi Ji's vast Emerald Swan origin power, the absorption of this two-thousand-year soul ring went exceptionally smoothly.

As the purple soul ring merged into her body, Ye Lingling felt a cool, pure energy flow through her meridians throughout her entire body. The phantom of the Emerald Nine Heart Begonia behind her swayed slightly, and the first petal was stained with a faint touch of gold.

"First Soul Skill: Heart-Cleansing Bodhi Light!"

This was an extremely powerful single-target purification soul skill, capable of instantly dispelling all negative states, toxins, and mental erosion from a target!

"Good, continue!"

Without a moment's rest, Ye Lingling immediately turned her target to the five-thousand-year-old Ten Thousand Year Green Jade Marrow Ganoderma.

The same technique, the same decisiveness.

A deep purple soul ring emerged.

"Boom!"

A massive, warm life energy exploded within Ye Lingling's body. Under the impact of this energy, her soul power barrier crumbled like paper.

Level thirty!

Level thirty-one!

Level thirty-two!

Her aura surged all the way, finally stopping steadily at level thirty-two.

"Second Soul Skill: Cyan Jade Life Barrier!"

A group-type defensive and healing soul skill.

Once deployed, it could form a life barrier within a certain range, continuously restoring soul power and injuries for allies while weakening enemy attacks!

"The final step!"

Ye Lingling opened her eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. She arrived before the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Bone Longevity Flower.

With one slash, a pitch-black, ten-thousand-year soul ring emitting terrifying pressure slowly rose.

Under the protection of two peerless powerhouses, Ye Lingling completely relaxed her mind, allowing the black ten-thousand-year soul ring to merge into her body.

"Boom—!!!"

The moment the third soul ring was completely fused, an incredibly tyrannical aura erupted from Ye Lingling's body and soared into the sky!

The medicinal power from the previous immortal herb marrow-cleansing, the residual energy from the Whale Glue body-tempering, and the Emerald Swan origin power injected by Bi Ji were all detonated at this moment, turning into streams of pure soul power that crazily hammered against her soul power barrier!

Level thirty-three!

Level thirty-four!

Level thirty-five!

Level thirty-eight!

Level thirty-nine!

"Boom!"

With a dull explosion, the golden and emerald lights around Ye Lingling intertwined, turning into a brilliant rain of light that swept out in all directions.

"Level forty?!"

Xiao Wu widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief as she exclaimed: "No way, Lingling actually reached level forty just like that?!"

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, had her mouth agape, her jaw nearly hitting the ground.

"I'm only level thirty-eight, and Lingling is already forty?"

Dugu Yan muttered to herself, her voice trembling!

"Once she absorbs her fourth soul ring, she will be a true Soul Ancestor! An eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor! Heavens, what kind of monster is this!"

Hearing the exclamation of his little granddaughter, Dugu Bo was also deeply gratified. He laughed heartily:

"Yan Yan, you aren't bad either! You are level thirty-eight now, the same level as the Young Master!"

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan immediately came to her senses. She gave her grandfather a disgruntled look:

"Grandpa, when did you become so cheeky?"

"The Young Master is only six years old, and I am a full six years older than him! How can that be the same!"

A Yin spoke softly from the side to comfort her: "Yan Yan, the Young Master is the descendant of the Dragon God; how could ordinary people compare to him?"

Gu Yuena also lifted her snow-white chin slightly, her purple eyes filled with pride and attachment. She gave a delicate huff and said as a matter of course: "Exactly, Brother is the most amazing, and Na'er loves Brother the most!"

Watching Gu Yuena's possessive display, Zi Ji couldn't help but cross her arms and tease playfully: "Oh my, why do I feel like our Lord is so cute when she gets jealous?"

"Zi Ji, are you looking to die!"

Gu Yuena instantly broke her composure, her purple eyes glaring as a terrifying pressure belonging to the Dragon God instantly locked onto Zi Ji.

"Hahaha..."

Watching the bickering between Gu Yuena and Zi Ji, the valley was suddenly filled with laughter and joy.

Just as everyone was immersed in the happiness, Bi Ji suddenly turned around and took out another plant emitting a terrifying life aura from her storage soul tool.

It was a massive ganoderma that was entirely emerald green, as if carved from crystal.

It emitted an extremely rich life fluctuation, and the surrounding air even became viscous because of its presence.

"Lingling," Bi Ji looked at Ye Lingling, her eyes full of anticipation and solemnity, "This is a twenty-five-thousand-year 'Emerald Crystal Ganoderma'."

"It also possesses an extreme life attribute."

"Absorb this, and I will personally guard you!"

Hearing the words "twenty-five thousand years," Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan gasped once again.

A fourth soul ring, twenty-five thousand years?!

This was simply challenging the common sense of the Douluo Continent!

However, having gone through the baptism of the immortal herbs, Whale Glue, and Bi Ji's origin power, Ye Lingling's foundation was already unfathomable.

She looked at the Emerald Crystal Ganoderma without the slightest fear, filled instead with anticipation.

"Okay!"

Ye Lingling nodded heavily, walked up to the Emerald Crystal Ganoderma, and swung her blade.

A pitch-black, ten-thousand-year soul ring emitting terrifying pressure slowly rose.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but when the last bit of energy was completely digested, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

In her eyes, a strange emerald light flashed and vanished, and an incredibly vast life aura radiated from her body.

Her soul power finally stopped steadily at level forty-three!

"Level forty-three..." Ye Lingling felt the surging power like an ocean within her body, trembling with excitement.

She had done it!

She had not only broken the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia but had also become one of the youngest Soul Ancestors in the history of the Douluo Continent!
