"Di Tian, come to the Life Forbidden Zone at once!"
This mental fluctuation was like a divine thunderbolt from the nine heavens, instantly piercing through the thick, layered mists of the Star Dou Great Forest and landing precisely in the mind of the Beast God Di Tian, who was patrolling the outer perimeter.
Di Tian had been patrolling the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, listlessly driving away a few low-level soul beasts that had been foolish enough to cross his path.
Suddenly, this majestic and urgent voice rang out in his mind.
Di Tian's body stiffened violently, and his vertical pupils contracted to the limit.
The Master?!
A stormy sea surged in Di Tian's heart.
The Master had been in a deep slumber for tens of thousands of years and had never once summoned him proactively.
For her to transmit her voice so suddenly, something must have happened that was significant enough to shake the fate of the entire soul beast race!
Daring not to show the slightest negligence, Di Tian instantly transformed into a streak of black light, tearing through the air at maximum speed as he headed straight for the Life Forbidden Zone.
In just a few short breaths, Di Tian arrived above the Life Lake.
He respectfully suppressed all his pressure, transformed into an old man wearing black robes, and knelt on one knee by the lake.
"Your subordinate Di Tian, pays respects to the Master! What are your orders, Master?"
As his words fell, the water of the Life Lake began to churn violently.
Immediately after, a silver dragon, so massive it blotted out the sky, rose slowly from the bottom of the lake.
The giant dragon head emerged from the water, its eyes, resembling stars, gazing silently at the Di Tian below.
"Di Tian, you must go to Nuoding City in the human world immediately." The Silver Dragon King's voice echoed in Di Tian's mind, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
"Nuoding City?" Di Tian was stunned, his heart filled with confusion.
Why would the Master send him to that place where humans gathered?
"That is correct. I just sensed an extremely unique aura of the Golden Dragon King's origin appearing near Nuoding City."
A complex light flickered in the Silver Dragon King's eyes. "Go investigate immediately. Find the person who possesses the Golden Dragon King's origin, and no matter what method you use, you must bring him to the Star Dou Great Forest to see me!"
"The Golden Dragon King's origin?!"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He jerked his head up, his face full of shock and disbelief.
"Master, are... are you sure? Wasn't the Golden Dragon King sealed away by those false gods of the God Realm? How could someone possess its origin?"
"I don't care how he came to have it, nor do I care if he is human or beast."
The Silver Dragon King's voice rose sharply, carrying a hint of suppressed fanaticism. "That is the only hope for the rise of our soul beast race! As long as we find him and merge with his origin, my injuries will be completely healed, and our soul beast race will never again have to bow to the humans! Go!"
"Yes! Your subordinate obeys!"
Di Tian took a deep breath, forcing down the shock in his heart, and kowtowed heavily.
Afterward, he transformed into a bolt of black lightning, charging out of the Life Forbidden Zone without hesitation and heading straight toward Nuoding City.
Meanwhile, at the back mountain of Wuxi Village.
The night was deep, and the moonlight was like water.
Ling Xuqing moved through the dense jungle like a true ghost.
Relying on the terrifying physical constitution brought by the Golden Dragon King's origin, his speed was extremely fast, and he did not disturb a single soul beast.
Soon, he arrived deep in the back mountain.
The deafening roar of a waterfall echoed in his ears, and the white curtain of water cascaded down like a galaxy under the moonlight.
Ling Xuqing did not hesitate in the slightest; his figure flashed, and he passed directly through the massive waterfall.
"Hum—"
The moment he passed through the water curtain, he felt an extremely concealed energy fluctuation.
It was the restriction left behind by Tang Hao.
But in front of Ling Xuqing, this restriction was merely a formality.
With just a slight shift in his thoughts, the overbearing bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King within his body acted like a hot knife through butter, silently disintegrating the defense of the restriction without even making a sound.
Passing through the restriction, Ling Xuqing arrived deep in the cave behind the waterfall.
A few stones emitting a faint glow were embedded in the cave walls, barely illuminating the surroundings.
Ling Xuqing's gaze instantly locked onto the center of the cave.
There, a Blue Silver Grass emitting a faint blue light was growing quietly.
However, the state of this Blue Silver Grass was extremely poor.
Its leaves were tattered and withered, its light dim, as if it could die at any moment.
"So this is the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin?"
Ling Xuqing looked at the Blue Silver Grass, a cold sneer curling his lips.
He looked around, and soon, in a hidden compartment in the corner of the cave, he found a jade box sealed by a restriction.
Ling Xuqing waved his hand, and the restriction on the jade box crumbled to dust.
He opened the jade box, and a rich aura of life rushed toward his face.
Inside lay a bone emitting a lustrous blue light.
100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!
"Tang Hao, I'll be taking your wife's origin and soul bone."
Ling Xuqing chuckled softly and tucked the jade box into his robes.
Afterward, he found a small flowerpot, carefully uprooted the tattered Blue Silver Grass, and planted it inside.
Having finished all this, he put away the flowerpot, flashed his figure, passed through the waterfall once more, and stealthily left the cave.
Arriving once again at an open grassy area deep in the back mountain, Ling Xuqing took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
He took the small flowerpot from his robes and placed it on the ground.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the Blue Silver Grass in the pot seemed to finally breathe fresh air.
Its originally withered leaves began to sway wildly, and the blue light it emitted gradually brightened, as if a dying person had come back to life.
Ling Xuqing squatted down and examined the Blue Silver Grass, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
"Although this Blue Silver Emperor can no longer produce soul rings, she is, after all, a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, and her origin remains intact."
Ling Xuqing stroked his chin, a wicked smile curling his lips.
"Combined with this 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, if I absorb them both, perhaps my soul power and strength will increase significantly!"
At this thought, Ling Xuqing no longer hesitated.
He sat cross-legged and held both the Blue Silver Grass and the right leg bone in his hands.
"Boom!"
In an instant, an extremely rich power of life origin surged madly into his body through Ling Xuqing's palms!
This power was completely different from the violent destructive power of the Golden Dragon King; it was gentle and long-lasting, nourishing Ling Xuqing's limbs and bones like a spring breeze.
Under the nourishment of this life origin, the soul power within Ling Xuqing's body began to skyrocket at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Level 15, level 16, level 17...
With every level his soul power increased, Ling Xuqing could feel his physical body and soul becoming more solid.
However, just as Ling Xuqing was immersed in the pleasure of increasing power, a faint, female voice filled with endless pleading suddenly rang out in his mind:
"Please... don't absorb me... don't kill me!"
"Let me go find Brother Hao... find Brother Hao, and I will give you whatever you want..."
