First Spirit Ring

Gripping the iron spear tightly, Tang Chuan slowly lowered his stance, his gaze deep as water as he stared fixedly at the largest specimen growing at the center of the Illusionary Hidden Flower cluster.

He clearly

felt that familiar bloodline fluctuation continuing to emanate.

That fluctuation was richer and purer than that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass, yet it had not reached the vast, overwhelming pressure of the Blue Silver Emperor. It was as though it were a branch product along Blue Silver Grass's evolutionary path, at an intermediate stage of bloodline transformation.

"Stronger than ordinary Blue Silver Grass, yet weaker than the Blue Silver Emperor..." Tang Chuan's eyes flickered with indescribable shock as he said incredulously.

After a moment, he hesitated no longer. He spread open his palm again and released the Blue Silver Grass Spirit within him. Strands of blue-gold vines extended from his palm, slowly slithering like spiritual serpents as they silently approached the Illusionary Hidden Flower.

The Illusionary Hidden Flower seemed to sense something. Its flower bud trembled slightly, then stopped its instinctive vigilance and actually opened part of its petals, as if responding to Tang Chuan's approach.

"Excellent."

Tang Chuan was immediately delighted. He promptly tried to use his Spiritual Power to guide his Blue Silver Grass Spirit into deeper communication with the Mutated Illusionary Hidden Flower before him.

A faint spiritual fluctuation slowly seeped out from his sea of consciousness and gradually probed toward the Illusionary Hidden Flower's spiritual core.

He had expected resistance.

Yet, to his astonishment, only moments later, a gentle and docile spiritual fluctuation quietly responded from within the Illusionary Hidden Flower. Like a familiar relative from his childhood, it merged, resonated, and intertwined with Tang Chuan's Spiritual Power with extreme naturalness...

Buzz—!

In an instant, brilliance burst forth in Tang Chuan's mind, and before his eyes, a vast, boundless scroll seemed to unfold.

Through the spiritual link, he saw the origin of this Illusionary Hidden Flower's life:

Deep within a forest filled with sunlight and dense mist, a Bee-Type Spirit Beast flew past countless blooming flowers. Suddenly, as it flapped through a thick patch of Blue Silver Grass, it paused upon a massive plant whose branches and leaves cascaded like a waterfall.

It was a Blue Silver Grass several zhang tall, its coloring an intermingling of blue and gold. Its blades swayed gently in the breeze, and on its central main stem was a blurry human face.

That face was faint, yet to Tang Chuan, it was incomparably familiar.

"This plant... Human-Faced Blue Silver Grass? Could it be—the Blue Silver King?!"

Tang Chuan's heart jolted. It was as though a thunderclap had exploded through his mind, and he instantly recalled the Blue Silver Grass royalty mentioned in the original work—the Blue Silver King, whose cultivation had reached eighty thousand years!

The Bee-Type Spirit Beast landed atop the Human-Faced Blue Silver Grass and paused briefly.

In that instant, the bee's body faintly glimmered with blue-gold light, and pale blue-gold pollen particles quietly stained its body.

Then, the Bee-Type Spirit Beast beat its wings and flew westward.

After flying an unknown number of miles, it finally landed on an ordinary-looking Illusionary Hidden Flower and completed an utterly commonplace pollination.

From that moment onward, the Illusionary Hidden Flower underwent an irreversible mutation at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Its roots and stem became sturdier, its color gradually shifted toward blue-gold, and a faintly spiritual radiance glimmered from the center of its stamens.

Tang Chuan drew a deep breath, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock and wild joy as he said:

"It was pollen left behind by the Blue Silver King?"

"No wonder this Illusionary Hidden Flower's Life Aura falls between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor... What it fused with was the purest bloodline essence of Blue Silver Grass royalty!"

"No wonder it could establish a spiritual link with me... At its core, part of its bloodline shares the same origin as my Blue Silver Grass!"

At this moment, Tang Chuan was almost certain.

After mutating, this Illusionary Hidden Flower possessed not only the dual attributes of life and spirit, but its essence could even be considered a distant branch of the Blue Silver lineage. Like the Ancient Dragon Bear in Battle Through the Heavens, it possessed a trace of Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline—an offshoot with immense potential for fusion and evolution.

"A Soul Beast like this is something one can only encounter by chance."

"I just wonder what Soul Skill it can bring me."

"Whatever. I'll absorb its Soul Ring first." Tang Chuan stared at the Mutated Illusionary Hidden Flower before him and spoke in a low voice.

The next second, a breeze brushed its petals. The Illusionary Hidden Flower's leaves, originally soft as silk, suddenly tightened the instant they sensed killing intent, as though they possessed intelligence.

"Judging by the size of its corolla and the thickness of its main stem, it is likely around five hundred years old. I absorbed the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, so my physique is considerably stronger than that of Soul Masters at the same level. It should be just within the limits of what I can bear." Narrowing his eyes, Tang Chuan rapidly merged the Blue Silver Grass's senses with his Spiritual Power, greatly enhancing his perception as he made a simple assessment.

As his words fell, Tang Chuan hesitated no longer. He stamped down fiercely with his right leg, and a ripple of blue-gold Soul Power instantly appeared beneath his feet.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, his right leg released a dense blue-gold radiance that was almost tangible, spreading like mercury pouring across the ground from his knee down through his leg and foot.

As the blue-gold light rose, Tang Chuan himself slowly floated into the air as though freed from gravity! This was precisely the flight ability bestowed upon him by the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!

Hovering in midair, Tang Chuan looked down coldly upon the Illusionary Hidden Flower cluster below.

The next moment, the blue-gold radiance beneath his feet grew increasingly dazzling. Like a god descending from the heavens, it spilled across the entire swamp, and the first to sense that light was the Mutated Illusionary Hidden Flower.

The Illusionary Hidden Flower instinctively shuddered, as if terrified and struggling at the same time.

But what shocked Tang Chuan was that the instant the blue-gold radiance fell upon it, the Mutated Illusionary Hidden Flower seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move at all!

"What powerful bloodline suppression!"

Tang Chuan's gaze sharpened as he said, "The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone fused with the essence of a 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor... It should have a suppressive effect on all Plant-Type Spirit Beasts!"

"Excellent. Then I won't have to waste any more time."

He slowly raised the long spear in his hand, gripped it tightly with both hands, and poured in his Soul Power.

At once, the ordinary iron spear bloomed with a faint blue-gold glow under the enhancement of his Soul Power!

Whoosh!

Tang Chuan dove down like an eagle soaring through the skies, his spear tip aimed directly at the Illusionary Hidden Flower's stamens!

Boom—!

The instant the spear tip pierced in, the Illusionary Hidden Flower's entire body convulsed violently. Blue-gold radiance tore through its branches and roots like blades!

Just one strike!

This mutated Illusionary Hidden Flower, possessing both spirit and life attributes, was crushed in midair before it even had time to struggle.

Moments later, the ground fell silent. The Illusionary Hidden Flower's petals lost their luster and withered completely.

At the same time, a Deep Yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged from its corpse, rotating as it rose into the air and released a dense Life Aura.
