NOVEL NEXT Chapter 230: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands?
Blue Silver Forest.
On a meadow densely covered with thriving Blue Silver Grass.
After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes and stood up, taking a deep breath. He felt more energized than ever before, his entire body brimming with vigorous vitality.
"As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!"
Clenching his fists, a faint smile spread across Ye Yu's handsome face.
"O great Emperor, congratulations on awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!
Our Blue Silver Grass clan finally has our true sovereign!"
Seeing Ye Yu awaken the bloodline, Blue Silver King cried out in excitement.
"Blue Silver King, thank you for helping me awaken this bloodline," Ye Yu replied with a smile.
"Don't worry! As the Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan, I will surely lead us to greatness and glory!"
After speaking, he activated his Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul, sending its roots deep underground to rapidly split and grow, spreading throughout the entire Blue Silver Forest.
In many parts of the forest, saplings of Blue Silver Jade Trees sprouted.
Due to the effect of Blue Silver Decree, these offshoots of the Blue Silver Jade Tree also carried its influence.
Now that the entire forest was seeded with its saplings, even if Ye Yu left, the field of the Blue Silver Decree would still envelop the whole Blue Silver Forest, encouraging the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to grow stronger and evolve toward the form of the Blue Silver Jade Tree.
"Blue Silver King, don't resist next—I'm going to transplant you into my Blue Silver Domain."
As promised, Ye Yu prepared to move the Blue Silver King into his Blue Silver Domain.
With the Blue Silver King's cooperation, Ye Yu easily uprooted him and brought him into the space.
Inside the Blue Silver Domain, Ye Yu had recently expanded a patch of land where he dug a large pit to plant the Blue Silver King.
Once buried again in fresh soil, this would become his new home.
Though the space wasn't vast yet—only several million square meters, enough to qualify as a small forest—the Blue Silver King immediately noticed the rich vitality everywhere.
The domain was full of giant Blue Silver Grass shrubs, numerous Blue Silver Jade Tree saplings, a towering Golden Tree, a newly sprouted Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree, Sun Fusang Tree, and even seedlings of the Undying Laurel Tree.
Though Ye Yu had previously killed the Undying Laurel Tree—thus acquiring its Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone—he later returned to its mountain and found several Undying Laurel Tree seedlings at the original site.
These young plant-type Spirit Beasts were vulnerable, especially in their early stages, to herbivorous Spirit Beasts. To protect this rare species, Ye Yu transplanted them into the Blue Silver Domain—leaving only two in the wild.
Other Spirit Plant species were also planted here, such as Starlight Tree, Undying Grass, Sword Bamboo, and Sky Azure Vine.
Even though the domain had no sun in the sky, it was never short of sunlight. Streams and ponds dotted the ground, and certain areas occasionally received gentle rainfall. Combined with the spiritual energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this place was nothing short of a paradise for plants.
Under the influence of the Blue Silver Decree, the Blue Silver King could feel his growth rate accelerating, his bloodline continually evolving. He was ecstatic.
"This... this truly is a paradise for our Blue Silver Grass clan!
From now on, this will be my new home!"
After settling the Blue Silver King, Ye Yu pulled out a mirror and looked at himself.
Since awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, his appearance had become even more refined—his blue-silver crystalline hair and eyes added a unique and striking charm. His aura had taken on a refreshing, natural quality that made him even more likable.
Still, Ye Yu sighed.
"As expected, my hair and eyes have changed."
If he could choose, he would've preferred to remain black-haired and black-eyed—like a true descendant of the "Flower Country" (China). But there was no changing it now.
With a thought, Ye Yu summoned the Spirit Rings of his Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul.
Sure enough, the number had increased from seven to eight.
The eighth Spirit Ring glowed a deep crimson, clearly surpassing the 100,000-year mark.
"Blue Silver King, how many years is this eighth ring?"
He couldn't tell by sight alone. In the original story, the Blue Silver King had told Tang San the age of his self-generated fifth ring.
"Reporting to the Great Emperor," the Blue Silver King replied respectfully from within the Blue Silver Domain.
"The self-generated Spirit Ring I created for you, by human reckoning, is approximately 880,000 years old.
And in the future, as your physique improves, your Spirit Ring's age will also increase further—as long as you are surrounded by members of our Blue Silver Grass clan."
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand years?" Ye Yu raised a brow, quite satisfied.
That number sounded auspicious, too!
Although he hadn't reached the Titled Douluo rank yet, the quality of his Spirit Power already exceeded that of many actual Titled Douluo.
Thanks to his Ice-Fire Body Tempering, Inner Core Technique, Whale Rubber tonics, and Heavenly Thunder Tempering, his physical body had surpassed even peak assault-type Titled Douluo under Spirit Possession.
Thus, 880,000 years was not unreasonable!
"Alright, let's see what the eighth Spirit Ability is!"
Self-generated rings were always unpredictable. When Tang San had created his fifth ring, the resulting ability—Blue Silver Emperor Tyrant Spear—was nearly useless.
But Ye Yu's Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul had long since surpassed that.
He had even consumed the Black Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot, giving him the ability to morph his Martial Soul into sharp Blue Silver Spears at will.
So, Ye Yu was confident his new ability would be something unique—and powerful.
Eighth Spirit Ability!
Ye Yu summoned his Martial Soul in front of him. The eighth ring glowed brilliantly.
In a surge of Spirit Power, an entire forest of massive Blue Silver Jade Trees erupted from the nearby land, growing explosively within seconds.
These weren't ordinary trees, but ones nearly in True Body state—like dozens of Blue Silver Jade Tree True Bodies!
Ye Yu drew a sharp breath, stunned.
And this was without even activating his Seventh Spirit Ability. What if he did use the True Body form?
As a Spirit Ring that far surpassed 100,000 years, it naturally came with a second ability.
With another thought, Ye Yu activated it.
This time, brilliant silver-blue light burst from his back, illuminating half the sky.
Behind him, a towering figure—nearly a thousand meters tall—rose into view. It was a Blue Silver Giant, seemingly formed from countless Blue Silver Jade Trees fused together. It glowed like blue crystal, with countless arms sprouting from its back.
Its face wasn't perfectly defined, but vaguely… it looked like Ye Yu himself.
He was shocked.
"This… This is exactly what I wanted?!"
Though not identical, this was unmistakably the realization of the concepts he had long imagined—
Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands!
Note:
The average Spirit Ring age a Titled Douluo can absorb is determined by both their Spirit Power cultivation and physical body durability.
Even though Ye Yu is only a Spirit Sage, his Spirit Power quality far exceeds most Titled Douluo, and his body is well beyond them.
After all, Tang San managed to absorb the 300,000-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale Kings Spirit Ring before even becoming a Titled Douluo.
To be fair, a 100,000-year and a 300,000-year ring should be worlds apart. But in the original story, the differences barely mattered. That… was always kind of a bug.
