The sun rises.
Having just absorbed the purple aura from the horizon,
Ye Qiu, having finished his cultivation, lay down on the ground. The soft blue silver grass beneath him was even more comfortable than a soft bed.
He stood up and stretched. With the aid of the Blue Silver Domain, cultivation was indeed twice as effective.
He took a few steps casually, looking at the height of the ground above him. Ye Qiu was still quite unaccustomed to it. At just over nine years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall, and his face still had a touch of childishness.
"My Emperor~ would you like something to eat?"
Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised by the appearance of the Blue Silver King this time. A phantom humanoid figure floated there, its exact appearance unclear.
In front of it was a small woven table with some wild fruits and dew gathered by the blue silver grass.
"Thank you!"
Ye Qiu didn't stand on ceremony. He sat back on the throne and began to eat. As soon as he took a bite, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and his soul power seemed to increase slightly.
"Ah~ Little Blue wants some too!" A streak of light shot out, transforming into a little girl who immediately sprawled on the table, picking up wild berries and starting to gnaw on them. "Aww~ So delicious! Brother, you should eat too~"
The Blue Silver King floated over, gently stroking Little Blue's head, his gaze shifting to him, "Little Blue? Did you name her?"
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded.
"Hehe. Sounds alright."
"By the way, what's going on with your current state?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"My physical body needs to recover, this is kind of a mental projection, you can do that when you've almost completely mastered the Blue Silver Domain."
"I see~" Ye Qiu hadn't expected the Blue Silver Domain to have such a wonderful use.
Come to think of it, the final stage of the Blue Silver Domain, the All-Encompassing Domain, can convert the life force provided by the Blue Silver Grass into any kind of energy, such as soul power or spiritual power. It's not surprising that the Blue Silver King, with over 80,000 years of cultivation, has reached this level.
"Brother, eat quickly~ Mmm!" Little Blue jumped into Ye Qiu's arms, stuffing a few wild grapes into his mouth.
...
Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the open ground, now about to begin the Ring-Enhancing process.
"Great Emperor! Please accept the gifts of your people!"
With the Blue Silver King's shout, countless people responded, and numerous Blue Silver Grasses contributed their strength.
The blue ocean blossomed with brilliant colors, and immense power slowly surged into Ye Qiu's body. He didn't even need to actively absorb it; it instantly filled his limbs and bones.
With Ye Qiu's physical strength after being transformed by two thousand-year spirit rings, and possessing a right leg bone and Blue Silver bloodline, enduring the thousand-year spirit rings was effortless.
The Blue Silver Domain was released, absorbing the power they transmitted to a greater extent.
Beneath him, the purple ring belonging to the Serpent appeared, followed closely by a white spirit ring.
White, yellow, gradually turning into purple.
One thousand years, two thousand years, five thousand years...
until Ye Qiu frowned, the Blue Silver King finally stopped.
"Hoo!" He exhaled a breath of stale air, his heart finally at ease.
The second ring granted Ye Qiu the spirit skills Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. As for Susanoo, with the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, he probably wouldn't need to be a "three-second man" anymore!
"Well, at least it can extend the time by one minute."
*Whoosh* The Blue Silver Domain activated the spirit rings, and the two purple spirit rings gradually changed, eventually transforming into two hundred-year spirit rings.
"Now, my spirit rings are finally presentable!" Ye Qiu smiled faintly, his handsome face radiating a gentle and noble aura.
"Wow~ Brother is so amazing!" *
Thump!* Ye Qiu opened his arms and embraced Xiao Lan, wiping the juice from the corner of her mouth.
"Uh~" Xiao Lan let out a burp, rubbing her bulging little belly, her azure eyes watery, her face contorted in a sad expression: "I ate too much, uh~"
"Haha." He hadn't expected the Blue Silver King to be such a little glutton.
"By the way, is it okay for Xiao Lan to keep eating like this?" Ye Qiu asked the Blue Silver King.
"Don't worry, she'll convert all that stuff into energy. When she reaches saturation, she can even feed it back to you."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly upon hearing this. It seemed Xiao Lan's growth wasn't entirely due to absorbing his spirit power. 'If we find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire later, we can give her some unfamiliar herbs. She shouldn't be afraid of poison anyway.'
The Blue Silver King's figure, floating in the air, became even more ethereal.

"You're almost leaving, aren't you?" It knew very well that Ye Qiu wouldn't stay.
"Yes, I plan to leave now."
"Now?"
"...Then go, and remember to protect yourselves!"
The Blue Silver King was slightly surprised, raised its hand, and gestured for them to leave. The Blue Silver Grasses received its will, and a wider road appeared in the dense Blue Silver Forest.
"Goodbye!" An invisible vortex appeared, and the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger appeared in front of Ye Qiu, carrying Little Blue on its back.
"Goodbye, the Blue Silver Forest will always welcome you!" The Blue Silver King's voice was still ethereal.
At Ye Qiu's signal, the tiger ran towards the exit, with the Blue Silver Grasses on both sides guarding them like sentinels.
"Goodbye, Sister Lan Ying!" Little Blue tugged at Ye Qiu's neck and poked its head out, waving at the Blue Silver King.
Ye Qiu was a little surprised; he hadn't expected the Blue Silver King's name to be so good. He really wasn't good at naming things!
Reaching the end of the road, Ye Qiu turned around and bowed to them. With such gains on this trip, their power was not to be underestimated.
After saying goodbye, Ye Qiu left with Xiao Lan without looking back.
The Blue Silver King's figure slowly faded away, its warbling voice echoing through the Blue Silver Forest, "I hope my choice was right, Ye Qiu! Don't disappoint me!"
The entrance to the Blue Silver Forest vanished again, as if it had never existed.
...
In the jungle, Ye Qiu, carrying a beautifully sculpted little girl, rode on the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger, heading towards the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although Ye Qiu possessed an outstanding aura, he was scantily clad, making him look like a beggar who had kidnapped a little girl!
Having no other choice, Ye Qiu used his Sharingan's X-ray vision to search, but he didn't find anyone.
He only found a 'Mount Emei Monkey's' nest. These spirit beasts, though not very old, were particularly fond of robbing and collecting various things from humans.
Riding his tiger, Ye Qiu stormed into their lair. After rummaging around, he found some wearable clothes, washed them, and put them on, finally evolving from being barely clothed to being dressed in rags. They were
almost nearing a human town when Ye Qiu stored his Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger in his Divine Might Space, while Xiao Lan went back to sleep.
This time, her sleep was quite long, lasting a full two days.
As Ye Qiu leaped through the forest, he suddenly heard her joyful voice.
"Brother! Brother! Xiao Lan's first soul ring is ready!"
Ye Qiu stopped, feeling his soul power surge, and Xiao Lan slowly materialized before him.
Before he could even see her clearly, she hopped into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
He patted the little girl in his arms, "You've changed so much!"
"Hmm, Xiao Lan has grown quite a bit taller!"
It seemed that the increase in strength would accelerate her growth. Ye Qiu realized this, put her down, and rubbed her head. "Let me see what your first soul skill is?"
"My first soul skill is called: Endless Life!" She spun around on the spot, and a yellow soul ring appeared under her feet.
She spread her little hands out towards the ground below, and tiny green shoots sprouted from the ground, and the almost withered shrubs regained their vitality.
"A healing soul skill? I thought it would be Entanglement?" Ye Qiu pinched his chin, unconsciously thinking of Tang San's first soul skill.
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him, "What nonsense are you talking about, brother? Entanglement is child's play. Xiao Lan can master it after trying it a few times. Why would I need a soul skill?"
"Haha. That's right, Xiao Lan is so smart." Ye Qiu squatted down and pinched her nose. It seems that the only redeeming quality of the first soul skill Yu Xiaogang planned for Tang San was poison. His other ideas are truly limited—
the theory of spirit mimicry, the discovery that plant-type spirits can absorb non-plant-type spirit beasts—it's all nonsense. Weapon spirits can absorb anything, yet no one goes to weapon shops to find spirit rings. Are plant-type spirits any more superior? His
eyes swept across the ground; this healing soul skill was quite powerful, converting soul power into life force. Unless someone was missing an arm or leg, healing was basically no problem.
Moreover, Ye Qiu also discovered that while Xiao Lan's appearance would draw some of his soul power, later when using soul skills, it seemed she was self-sufficient.
Receiving Ye Qiu's praise, she was very happy.
"Xiao Lan is very smart, and as long as Xiao Lan is inside brother, brother can use it too! Waaah~ *kiss*!" Without another word, she smeared saliva on Ye Qiu's face.
