Forbidden Books Section

Meng Xuanji slowly opened the heavy pages and finally found the records concerning the Blue Silver Emperor near the very end.

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor

The absolute emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan, a top-tier plant-type control Martial Soul. It held a transcendent status among all plant-type Martial Souls.

Traits: It contained powerful vitality and restorative abilities. Soul Masters could communicate with the power of nature through Blue Silver Grass, gaining an extensive range of perception. They could also cultivate by absorbing the energy of plants, advancing at an astonishing pace.

It was said that the Star Dou Great Forest had once been home to a Blue Silver Emperor with more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Its whereabouts were elusive and difficult to track.

According to the speculation of a Titled Douluo from the Elder Hall, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul had the potential to undergo some form of mutation. Its devouring trait resembled the soul-refining methods of evil Soul Masters. Should one awaken this Martial Soul, there might be a risk of falling into evil and becoming an evil Soul Master.

If a possessor of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was discovered, they must be strictly watched and never allowed to harm lives, lest they stray onto the wrong path.

Meng Xuanji nodded, committing it to memory.

"That old scholar was right. After Tang Ya turned dark in the book, her Blue Silver Emperor really did seem to mutate into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor. She cultivated even faster than the protagonist within the Holy Spirit Cult. If the protagonist hadn't had cheat abilities, Tang Ya probably would've become a god on the battlefield."

Meng Xuanji grew increasingly interested in the Martial Soul Hall's archives.

At least so far, everything written in the book matched the original work.

Meng Xuanji turned to the next page.

There was actually an image of a Blue Silver Grass plant corroded by darkness in the book, radiating eerie black mist and a sense of decay.

"This was the Martial Soul of an evil Soul Master from years ago: Dark Blue Silver Grass. It was said that he had constantly pursued a path to evolve his Martial Soul into a Blue Silver Emperor. Unfortunately, this world was destined to have only one Blue Silver Emperor."

"If he wished to achieve a Martial Soul mutation, he had to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and kill that hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"Rumor had it that after reaching Rank 90, this man paid an enormous price to persuade five peak evil Soul Masters with strength at the Titled Douluo level to form a soul-hunting team and enter the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Ten days later, news came from within the Star Dou Great Forest that three Titled Douluo had fallen. Even the Blue Silver Grass evil Soul Master who had barely escaped was killed alongside the other two Titled Douluo by the Grand Priest, who had ambushed them on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"From then on, no evil Soul Master above the Titled Douluo level appeared on the continent for a hundred years, and the Grand Priest never again stepped beyond Papal City."

After reading this, Meng Xuanji could not help but sigh.

"What a bunch of fools who loved money more than their lives. They knew there was an Ultimate Douluo with an Angel Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, yet they still dared to swarm into the Star Dou Great Forest. Didn't that hand Qian Daoliu the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out?"

"I'm afraid that the moment they stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Daoliu had already made thorough preparations. From the very beginning, they were destined never to leave that forest alive."

Thinking of the Angel Martial Soul's suppressive power against evil Soul Masters in the book, Meng Xuanji felt a lingering fear.

If Qian Renxue ever fought him in the future, she would probably hang his two dark Martial Souls up and beat them senseless!

Cold sweat broke out across Meng Xuanji's forehead.

"Hopefully, that day will never come. Otherwise, I can only pray that Bibi Dong will save me."

Meng Xuanji closed the book. That was where the records concerning the Blue Silver Emperor ended.

Since no Soul Master on Douluo Continent had ever possessed the Blue Silver Emperor as a Martial Soul, even the library had no recommendations regarding a first Martial Soul based on the Blue Silver Emperor.

Setting the book down, Meng Xuanji began walking deeper into the library on his own.

"It may not be here, but the forbidden books section Wu Jie mentioned might have the answer I'm looking for."

Meng Xuanji admitted that he feared death, but if he died while pursuing power, he believed that was still better than being crushed to death like a speed bump by Tang San.

Innate full soul power, Blue Silver Grass, the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Sect hidden weapons, Purple Demon Eyes, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, Mysterious Jade Hand, and more—Tang San had far too many trump cards. Without sufficient strength, Meng Xuanji would never easily confront him.

Tap, tap, tap.

Meng Xuanji's footsteps gradually drew closer to the depths. Behind a bookshelf at the innermost level of the library, he finally found a small sealed door.

A powerful spiritual barrier covered the door. Without strength at the Titled Douluo level, it would likely be impossible to move it in the slightest.

"What a powerful barrier. Could Qian Daoliu have set it up? That makes sense. In a dangerous place like this, only Qian Daoliu would have the authority to oversee it."

"I just wonder whether the golden key Bibi Dong gave me has permission to enter."

Meng Xuanji cautiously placed the golden key against the barrier's protective layer, afraid that he would trigger its defense mechanism and be killed instantly.

When the golden key touched the barrier, a gentle holy angelic light shone across its surface, flowing into the key like liquid.

A moment later, the key itself was dyed gold by the holy light, emitting a sacred angelic aura.

"Did it work?"

Meng Xuanji stared at the barrier gradually disappearing before him, utterly astonished!

"It actually worked!"

The golden key had originally belonged to Qian Xunji. After Bibi Dong killed him, she found it within his soul tool. Naturally, Qian Daoliu would not stop his own son from entering the secret chamber, and that was the fundamental reason Meng Xuanji could enter.

It could be said that Meng Xuanji had truly struck it lucky this time.

Meng Xuanji immediately looked around nervously. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he hurriedly pushed open the doors to the forbidden books section and slowly entered a long tunnel.

Meng Xuanji took out a box of matches from his robes and lit an oil lamp on the wall, then held the lamp as he slowly felt his way through the tunnel.

As he walked, Meng Xuanji gradually realized that he was heading beneath the library.

"What a gloomy place. I wonder how long it's been since anyone came here."

The tunnel walls were covered in moss, countless cracks spread across the bricks, and shattered stone slabs creaked beneath Meng Xuanji's feet.

Even Meng Xuanji did not know how long he had walked through the tunnel. There seemed to be some kind of spatial soul tool formation inside that disrupted his sense of time and space. If not for the golden key in his hand continuously radiating holy angelic light, Meng Xuanji suspected that he would not have been able to leave the tunnel alive.

"Finally, I'm here."

Upon arriving in the forbidden books section, Meng Xuanji likewise saw rows of neatly arranged bookshelves.

However, unlike the library, most of these books had seals pasted across their covers, along with a large red character for "Danger," making them look extraordinarily eerie.

Gulp.

Meng Xuanji swallowed. This was truly the first time in his life that he had entered such a gloomy and bizarre place.

"As expected of a place that seals away the continent's forbidden items. It really is a little frightening. Still, that might be good news."

The corners of Meng Xuanji's lips could not help but rise.

Because after arriving at the forbidden books section, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor within him had begun to stir faintly on instinct.

This place really did contain something he needed!
