Chapter 53: The Blue Silver Forest
Dugu Bo was capable of flight; as they traveled, he carried Dugu Yan in one hand and Lu Chen in the other.
Even including time for meals, sleep, and other rests, it took less than three days to travel from the depths of the Sunset Forest to the border mountain range where the Two Great Empires met.
Through the Blue Silver Domain, Lu Chen had already roughly determined the location of the Blue Silver Forest. Under Lu Chen’s guidance, Dugu Bo quickly landed outside the Blue Silver Forest with Dugu Yan and Lu Chen.
After the three landed steadily, Lu Chen stared intently at the forest ahead. From within that forest, countless life signatures, both large and small, emanated.
Each life signature belonged to a Blue Silver Grass with cultivation—there were hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, and even ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass.
Deep in Lu Chen’s eyes, a flash of excitement surfaced, but he suppressed it. He then looked at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, speaking with a solemn expression:
"Big Brother Dugu, Yan Yan, since we’ve arrived here, I should be more honest."
"You’ve seen my Spirit; it is actually an evolved form of Blue Silver Grass called the Blue Silver King."
"For any Spirit Master, the Seventh Spirit Ring is crucial. Only a Seventh Spirit Ring with a matching attribute can activate a Martial Soul Avatar skill that maximizes the Spirit’s advantages."
"The Spirit Beast I want to hunt is inside this forest. It’s a Blue Silver King with extremely high cultivation. Using this Blue Silver King Spirit Beast’s spirit ring as the Seventh Spirit Ring for my Blue Silver King Spirit will surely unlock the most compatible Martial Soul Avatar for me."
Regarding Lu Chen’s Spirit, Dugu Bo had actually suspected it long ago. Hearing Lu Chen’s words now, he wasn’t too surprised.
Dugu Yan, however, was learning for the first time that Lu Chen’s Spirit was a Blue Silver King evolved from Blue Silver Grass.
She blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke in great surprise:
"Blue Silver Grass is universally recognized as a Trash Spirit on the continent! I didn’t expect it could evolve, and that the evolved Blue Silver King would be a Top-tier Spirit with a Domain ability!"
After she finished speaking, Dugu Bo chuckled and said with full confidence:
"Brother Lan Chen, don’t worry. You have shown great kindness to us, grandfather and granddaughter. This time, I will personally take action to help you heavily wound that Blue Silver King and make it your Seventh Spirit Ring."
Lu Chen smiled upon hearing this. With Dugu Bo taking action, hunting the Blue Silver King this time would be a sure thing. He said with a laugh:
"Then I’ll have to trouble Big Brother Dugu. Let’s head in now."
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement:
"Alright!"
"After entering this forest, I’ll take the lead. Yan Yan, stay by Lan Chen’s side. He’s a Support Soul Master with no combat capability, so you must protect him well."
Hearing Dugu Bo say this, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned. He was indeed a Support Soul Master, but he wasn’t the fragile kind; he had plenty of strength and methods.
However, it seemed that during this period, he had never demonstrated his combat abilities in front of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
As a result, Dugu Bo still thought he was a Support Soul Master without any combat capability.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen chose to smile without saying anything, planning to let the facts speak for themselves in the future.
At this moment, Dugu Yan walked to Lu Chen’s side and said:
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand. I will protect Grandpa Lan Chen well."
With the plan deployed in advance, Dugu Bo took the lead, Lu Chen walked in the middle, and Dugu Yan was at the rear. The three of them walked into the Blue Silver Forest.
Inside the forest, perhaps because Dugu Bo carried Killing Intent and radiated an undisguised malice,
the numerous Blue Silver Grass in this forest were extremely wary of him.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, one Blue Silver Vine after another coiled toward them like creepers, attempting a Binding.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo began to condense his spirit power, preparing to forcibly blast a path open.
However, Lu Chen acted first. He released his Blue Silver Domain, and the invisible ripples of the Blue Silver Domain spread out in all directions with him as the center.
Under the shroud of the Blue Silver Domain, the surrounding hundred-year and thousand-year Blue Silver Grass all trembled slightly and then bowed down to Lu Chen.
These ordinary Blue Silver Grass simply could not resist the pressure of Lu Chen’s Blue Silver King Spirit.
Rustle, rustle!
The Blue Silver Vines that had coiled forward quickly retracted and even actively cleared a path for Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, and Dugu Yan.
Lu Chen then spoke with a smile:
"Big Brother Dugu, let’s continue forward. Following this path will lead to the center of the forest."
Dugu Bo gave Lu Chen a deep look:
"Brother Lan Chen, your Domain is truly convenient. The Blue Silver King, the king of Blue Silver Grass—this name is well-deserved."
After saying this, Dugu Bo turned back and strode toward the forest center, while Lu Chen and Dugu Yan followed closely behind him.
All the Blue Silver Grass ahead retreated to the sides, and they reached the central location of the forest without encountering any obstacles.
In the center of the forest stood a "Towering Giant Tree," crystal clear and azure blue, radiating life signatures from top to bottom.
This "Towering Giant Tree" was not actually a tree; it was that Blue Silver King with eighty-five thousand years of cultivation.
Because of its profound cultivation, its trunk was exceptionally tall and thick, looking like a Towering Giant Tree.
In the next instant, an old human face slowly emerged on the trunk of the Blue Silver King, and a steady, powerful voice came from its mouth:
"Foreign Blue Silver King, why have you come to this Blue Silver Forest?"
Lu Chen chuckled upon hearing this:
"Asking what you already know. I am a human Spirit Master, and you are a plant Spirit Beast. What other purpose could I have in coming to find you!"
After saying this, Lu Chen looked at Dugu Bo with burning eyes:
"Big Brother Dugu, please take action!"
Dugu Bo’s expression was startled. Sensing the unfathomable Aura emanating from the Blue Silver King, he spoke with a tone full of shock:
"Brother Lan Chen, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake? The cultivation of this Blue Silver King is at least eighty thousand years or more. My ninth spirit ring back then was only seventy-some thousand years, not even reaching eighty thousand."
"Using an eighty-thousand-year spirit ring as your Seventh Spirit Ring—you’re truly courting death!"
Lu Chen spoke urgently:
"Big Brother Dugu, I have my reasons for this choice. I’ve consumed three Immortal Herbs; if I weren’t certain, I wouldn’t do such a thing. Please, Big Brother Dugu, take action."
Since things had reached this point, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and stepped forward. A heaven-toppling Aura erupted from his body as nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—rose from beneath his feet.
The Blue Silver King at the forest center also appeared exceptionally furious. It roared in a low voice:
"Human, wanting my spirit ring is a pipe dream! This entire forest is my people; prepare to leave your bones here!"
Boom!
An invisible wave erupted from the Blue Silver King’s body and quickly spread in all directions—it was the Blue Silver Domain.
Within the coverage of the Blue Silver Domain, all the Blue Silver Grass grew frantically, sweeping toward Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, and Dugu Yan.
The Blue Silver King intended to use the power of all the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Forest to suppress Dugu Bo, Lu Chen, and Dugu Yan in one fell swoop.
