Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone

Gu Rong had just raised his spiritual power to investigate when he suddenly gave a soft "Hmm?"

"Interesting. There's actually an extremely faint Soul Power barrier within the mountain behind this waterfall."

Gu En's eyes lit up, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

"This is it! Grandpa, take me inside."

With a casual wave of his hand, Gu Rong wrapped them both in spatial power, directly ignoring the raging waterfall and stone wall as they passed into the hidden cave behind the falls.

The cave was unexpectedly dry, and the air carried a faint, refreshing fragrance.

A small opening in the ceiling allowed a beam of sunlight to shine through, illuminating a small mound of earth at the center of the cave.

A highly unusual plant grew atop the mound.

It was a stalk of Blue Silver Grass, yet unlike the weeds found everywhere outside, its leaves were crystalline and translucent, as though carved from the purest sapphires. Within its long leaf veins flowed noble, mysterious golden patterns.

Around this Blue Silver Grass, the dense aura of life was nearly solid enough to take physical form.

"This is... Blue Silver Grass?"

Gu Rong's eyes widened. "No, ordinary Blue Silver Grass couldn't possibly possess such terrifying life essence."

Gu En slowly stepped forward. Looking at the golden Blue Silver Grass swaying gently beneath the sunlight, seemingly sentient as it radiated faint resistance toward him, a fanatical smile curled across his lips.

"I finally found it."

He turned to Gu Rong and spoke word by word.

"Grandpa, this isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass. This is the emperor of plant-type soul beasts—the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. She is also the wife of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."

"What?! Tang Hao's wife? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that rebuilt herself?!"

Hearing Gu En's words, Gu Rong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His deeply sunken eyes opened wide.

As a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo, he had weathered countless storms, but this information was simply too shocking.

He stared fixedly at the Blue Silver Grass covered in golden patterns, sensing the faint yet pure vitality it emitted, and sucked in a sharp breath.

"No wonder... No wonder Spirit Hall's former Pope, Qian Xunji, personally led a team to hunt Tang Hao down back then. It was for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!"

Ignoring his grandfather's shock, Gu En walked straight past the Blue Silver Emperor and carefully searched the cave walls.

Ignoring Gu Rong's shock, Gu En repeatedly ran his hands over the surrounding walls.

At last, in an inconspicuous depression near the cave ceiling, he felt a slightly protruding stone.

"Click."

The instant he pressed down hard, a dull mechanical sound came from within the stone wall.

Then, a square stone slab sprang open, revealing a wooden box inside.

Gu En carefully removed the wooden box and placed it on the ground.

Taking a deep breath, Gu En gripped the edges of the wooden box with both hands and abruptly lifted the lid.

There was no blinding light, nor was there any earth-shaking eruption of energy.

Yet the moment the box opened, the life energy throughout the cave became so dense it was almost terrifying.

Even the withered moss on the cave walls visibly regained its vitality.

Inside the box lay a crystalline right leg bone.

Its entire surface was a clear blue-gold, as though condensed from the purest essence of Blue Silver Grass.

There was not a trace of impurity on the bone's surface. Only countless naturally formed, intricate and profound golden patterns slowly flowed across it.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year... Blue Silver Grass right leg bone."

Gu En's breathing became hurried, and he could not be bothered correcting the fact that this was not a Blue Silver Grass Soul Bone, but a Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone.

After all, even with the Ice-Fire Golden Body and Twin Martial Souls, he could not remain completely calm before a Soul Bone representing the highest quality on Douluo Continent.

The restorative skill inherent to this Soul Bone—"Wildfires cannot burn it all; when spring winds blow, it grows anew"—combined with his Blood Dragon Martial Soul and Ice-Fire Golden Body, as well as the Bone Dragon's already formidable defense, was simply like adding wings to a tiger.

"This... This really is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

Gu Rong was utterly dumbfounded. His trembling hand reached toward it, only to stop in midair, afraid he might damage this peerless treasure.

"En'er, you... How did you know about all this?"

Gu Rong's expression became incomparably complicated.

First, Gu En had obtained information on medicinal herbs from Yang Wudi, found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and produced all manner of peerless immortal herbs. Now he had even precisely found the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Tang Hao had hidden for years, along with his wife!

This was no longer something that "intelligence" or "luck" could explain.

It was practically clairvoyance!

Seeing Gu Rong's puzzled gaze, which even carried a trace of reverence, Gu En knew it was time to throw out the "perfect cover story" he had long prepared.

Gu En closed the wooden box, and his expression suddenly became incomparably solemn.

He said nothing and merely closed his eyes. The next second, vast and profound spiritual power carrying the divine pressure of an endless ocean erupted from his body.

At his brow, the previously hidden blue trident mark slowly emerged, flickering with dazzling divine light.

Under this divine pressure, even Gu Rong, a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo, felt a tremor arising from the depths of his soul.

"Grandpa."

Gu En opened his eyes. Blue light and violet-gold radiance intertwined within them, while his voice was ethereal and imposing. "Have you ever heard of a god's inheritance?"

"A... a god?!"

Gu Rong swallowed, his voice trembling.

Gu En pointed at the mark on his brow.

"This is Lord Sea God's token, a divine mark left behind by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The Sea God came to find me as early as the day my martial soul awakened."

Gu En wove his lie, half true and half false.

"A god's gaze can see through the past and the future. Many secrets of Douluo Continent are no more than transparent to a god."

"Whether it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or Tang Hao's treasure site, Lord Sea God's divine will guided me here."

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is!"

Gu Rong came to a sudden realization, then burst into ecstatic laughter.

Every unreasonable detail became perfectly logical before the ultimate explanation of "a god's inheritance"!

"Heaven blesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! My grandson was actually chosen by a god!"

Gu Rong was so excited that tears streamed down his face. The way he looked at Gu En now was as though he were looking at a living god.

Gu En withdrew the mark with a faint smile and placed the wooden box containing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone into his spatial storage Soul Tool.

"Grandpa, for now, only you know about the god. You must not reveal it."

"Don't worry! Even if Grandpa dies, I'll take this secret to the grave!"

Gu Rong patted his chest in assurance.

Gu En turned to look at Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor still swaying gently, and a cold curve rose at the corner of his lips.
