Awakening the Blue Silver Domain

The thought of heading to the Blue Silver Forest to obtain a life-bound soul ring flashed through his mind.

However, Xu Yuan soon abandoned the idea.

The hundred thousand year soul ring had granted him the Everlasting Vitality soul skill, comparable to the Blue Silver Emperor's profound mastery of life.

The hundred thousand year soul bone had also granted him the innate domain inherent in the blue silver emperor bloodline.

The Blue Silver Emperor's strongest soul skills were already his.

The red hundred thousand year soul ring still had another soul skill waiting to be unlocked.

Xu Yuan was reluctant to waste another slot on a blue silver life-bound soul ring.

Although a life-bound soul ring's age could increase, Xu Yuan placed greater value on the diversity of his wish-granting tree martial soul's skills.

"I'll take Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest first. If there's really nothing suitable, I'll seek out a blue silver life-bound soul ring."

Having settled on that, Xu Yuan took his clothes out of the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night and flew out of the azure lake.

"I can fly now, too!"

With the Blue Silver Domain's expansive field of vision, Xu Yuan discovered that the scenery of the other mountains had not changed noticeably.

The earth-shaking transformation of this mountain might have been caused by his awakening of the Blue Silver Domain.

At that thought, Xu Yuan stopped rushing to leave the mountain and instead began testing the soul skills granted by the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone.

By exerting his right leg, he could step through empty air with very little soul power, achieving the flight normally possible only for a Titled Douluo.

"The Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone's second soul skill is Wildfire Cannot Burn It Away; the Spring Breeze Brings It to Life Again!"

"It overlaps with my hundred thousand year soul ring's skill, but awakening the Blue Silver Domain makes up for that regret."

Even in its initial stage, the Blue Silver Domain possessed four abilities: detection, concealment, disguise, and amplification.

Detection used blue silver grass as a medium, allowing Xu Yuan's spiritual power to cover an astonishing radius of several thousand meters.

Concealment blended his aura into the vegetation, masking his soul power fluctuations so other soul masters could not detect him.

Disguise allowed him to freely change his soul rings' colors, and could also act on his own body, hiding his figure or the number of his soul rings.

Amplification affected his second soul ring's skill, Everlasting Vitality, directly doubling its area of coverage.

No one in the world could possess both a domain and misery!

Still savoring the experience, Xu Yuan stopped and surveyed the surrounding blue silver grass.

The waterfall lay deep within the mountains. No one would discover anything unusual.

"Where's the Blue Silver Emperor?"

Xu Yuan suddenly remembered the Blue Silver Emperor he had thrown down here.

As the Blue Silver Domain spread out, almost nothing around him remained hidden.

Xu Yuan soon found the Blue Silver Emperor at the bottom of the lake.

At that moment, nourished by the Blue Silver Domain, the Blue Silver Emperor had recovered some vitality and taken root in the lakebed's silt.

Xu Yuan raised his palm and clenched it through the air. The power of Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon erupted, crushing the Blue Silver Emperor in one grasp.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

Xu Yuan lifted his palm slightly, and a crystal-clear, azure blue seed of blue silver grass floated out of the black silt.

"The Blue Silver Domain's ultimate mystery allows the Blue Silver Emperor to revive within forty-nine days of death."

"Was what Tang Hao said true or false?"

Xu Yuan examined the Blue Silver Emperor's seed, a trace of doubt in his eyes.

According to Tang Hao in the original story, even if a soul master killed the Blue Silver Emperor, they could not obtain a soul ring or soul bone.

Unless the Blue Silver Emperor chose suicide.

Xu Yuan could not determine whether that claim was true, but the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality had indeed proven extraordinarily tenacious.

After some thought, Xu Yuan put the seed away.

True or false, this seed was worth collecting.

Perhaps it would come in handy somewhere in the future.

In this world, anyone who failed to become a god would always remain an ant.

And there were only two paths to godhood.

Either inherit a divine seat or establish a self-created godhood.

But the Sea God had spent nearly a thousand years establishing his own godhood back then. How long would it take to do so now?

Thoughts surged through Xu Yuan's mind before he shook his head.

He was only a level 30 Soul Elder. Godhood was still far away.

Rather than wasting time worrying that the sky might fall, he might as well consider which soul beast to hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest for his third soul ring.

Taking the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night with him, Xu Yuan left the waterfall.

A town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Once again, there was the unfamiliar ceiling of the town's clinic.

"Little San?" Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, his lips dry and cracked.

"Teacher, you're finally awake?" Tang San hurried over, still carrying a cup of warm water.

"What happened to me?" Yu Xiaogang rubbed his head, his thoughts in disarray.

"Have you forgotten?" Tang San set down the cup and sat beside Yu Xiaogang, his eyes full of worry.

"I... I remember having a nightmare!"

"In the dream, I obtained a top-quality thousand-year soul bone. After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, I broke through to Soul Elder!"

"But then I encountered a thousand-year Medusa's petrifying ray. My right leg was shattered, and I fell back to Soul Grandmaster."

With lingering fear on his face, Yu Xiaogang said, "What an absurd, bizarre, and utterly terrifying nightmare."

Tang San said sorrowfully, "Teacher, that wasn't a nightmare!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression froze. He abruptly threw back the covers and saw that he had only one leg left. It was as though he had been struck by lightning.

"Teacher, it wasn't just your right leg. Your supreme bone shattered, too!"

Yu Xiaogang's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

He finally remembered everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Little San!" Yu Xiaogang cried out, tears streaming down his face.

"Teacher!"

Tang San clasped Yu Xiaogang's hand tightly in both of his.

"Teacher, don't worry!"

"Although you've lost your right leg and soul bone, you'll gain a disciple who will prove your martial soul theory!"

Tang San gave his solemn assurance.

"Little San, I truly wasn't wrong about you!" Yu Xiaogang had experienced far too much despair in his lifetime.

Thus, he soon regained his composure.

He could even find joy amid suffering and spot an overlooked point.

"I can add another entry to my martial soul theory!"

"A soul master will not die from losing a limb soul bone while petrified!"

If he spread this theory throughout the Soul Master World, who would still dare say his title of Grandmaster was an empty reputation?

Yu Xiaogang immediately grew excited and wanted to take up a pen to record it.

"Where's your dean?" Yu Xiaogang looked around but saw no sign of the dean.

"Oh, the dean? After selling his storage soul tool, he joined a soul hunting team to earn money for your medical bills."

Tang San was no stranger to this sort of thing.

Every time he went out with his teacher, they were bound to return with fewer possessions.

"So that's what happened... Hm? My right leg was severed. With such a serious injury, where did he get so many gold soul coins?"

Yu Xiaogang had borrowed quite a bit of money from the dean. With their expenses along the way as well, how many gold soul coins could he have brought?

"It wasn't enough at first. To keep your life out of danger, the dean took a desperate risk. He used information about the soul bone as bait and sold it to other soul masters, earning enough gold soul coins."

"Now all the soul masters in town have gone to catch that thousand-year Medusa."

Tang San stood, picked up the cup, and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.

"He does have some quick wits!" Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, then casually picked up a brand-new book and began reading.

"A brand-new theory in the martial soul world?" Yu Xiaogang scoffed. Just hearing that, he knew it was something a fraud had made up at random.

He opened the first page. "A soul master will not die from losing a limb soul bone while petrified!"

"Hmm... Huh?"

Yu Xiaogang abruptly flipped to the title page and demanded furiously, "Who is this soul master named Dao Long? How dare he plagiarize a theory I haven't even published yet!"

Oh, fuck! Why were the soul masters of the Soul Master World so vile?

He, Yu Xiaogang, was the one whose leg had been severed, and he, Yu Xiaogang, was the one who had lost a soul bone. Why was someone named Dao Long getting the fame?

With no Grandmaster in the limelight, even a plagiarist could make a name for himself!

Who in the Soul Master World didn't know that he, Yu Xiaogang, despised plagiarists most of all!
