Blue Silver City.
Located east of the Star Dou Great Forest, on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
It was originally an uninhabited wasteland, but later became a gathering point and supply station before entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
After two expansions and the establishment of a city, decades of accumulation have made Blue Silver City a soul master gathering city comparable to Spirit City.
Within the city, on a winding, steep mountain peak.
A manor covered in blue silver grass and various medicinal herbs, composed of plant spirit beasts possessing soul power.
An old man with white hair lay on a lawn of blue silver grass, breathing heavily.
With his breath, countless soul powers resonated, transforming into specks of starlight covering his entire body.
It was as if fireflies were attracted to him.
Beside him, a phantom figure condensed from soul power sat quietly, watching him affectionately.
An old man and a young woman in this tranquil, peaceful place, like the most beautiful painting.
"Master, you're awake."
As the heavy breathing ceased, the white-haired old man opened his eyes, his breathing becoming peaceful.
The beautiful figure formed by the phantom spoke softly.
"Xiao Jin just sent over the gift list."
"Your one hundred and fiftieth birthday is in a week."
"Some guests have already arrived in Blue Silver City."
Listening to the words of the beautiful figure beside him, Lan Tian slowly regained his senses, his crimson eyes gradually sharpening.
"One hundred and fifty years old, I've reached that age."
"You've worked hard, Xiao Lan."
"Tell him to handle the gift list themselves."
"I'll appear on the day of the banquet."
Having transmigrated for a hundred years, Lan Tian understood his destiny of 'late bloomer' from the very beginning.
As long as he persevered, as long as he lived long enough, theoretically anything was achievable; if he failed, it only meant he hadn't lived long enough.
Thinking about how he cultivated from innate level one to his current eighty-ninth rank Soul Douluo, becoming a king in one part of the continent, he had indeed received his due reward.
But this alone wasn't enough; above Soul Douluo were Titled Douluo, and above Titled Douluo were gods and god kings.
In this world, failing to become a god ultimately meant becoming nothing more than a mound of dirt, an ant.
Since he had come to this world, Lan Tian was determined to fight for it; even if he died, he would die on the journey.
"Blue Silver City is so lively now, do you want to go take a look?"
Lan Tian wasn't surprised by Xiao Lan's words.
One hundred and fifty years had passed, and he had also established a family, and as his status grew higher.
Now, for his birthday, many external forces would come to congratulate him.
Of course, some also came to check on the situation, to see if this old man was dead yet.
Blue Silver City, in the eyes of many, was a piece of prime real estate, especially with his advanced age.
"Then let's go take a look."
He also knew that she just wanted to take a walk with him.
Lan Tian would occasionally visit the city he had built, so he didn't refuse.
Only by observing the changes outside did he feel the passage of time, with new generations appearing.
After hearing Lan Tian's words, Xiao Lan smiled, narrowing her eyes.
The phantom became more solid, taking Lan Tian's arm and heading down the mountain peak together.
Blue Silver City, bustling with people, had a permanent population exceeding eight million.
During major festivals like this, over ten million people would enter the city.
Due to Lan Tian's birthday, nearby businesses were also holding events, as Blue Silver City was established under his leadership, making him arguably its sole founder.
The hype was also at its peak.
"Is this Blue Silver City?"
"It's so luxurious; the towns we've been to before are like the countryside."
"Huh, so much blue silver grass, it's everywhere..."
"Third Brother, what's that over there? I want to ride it too."
The bustling streets were paved with neat, flat stone bricks, and various plants were planted on both sides of the road, including blue silver grass.
Bicycles and soul-powered vehicles occasionally passed through the main road, and after paying the entrance fee, several figures started to exclaim loudly.
Walking on the sidewalk, the leader was a middle-aged man with glasses and long gray-white hair, accompanied by a man with a buzz cut, ordinary-looking and a bit disheveled.
Behind them were three girls and four boys, all young.
Standing behind the buzz-cut man, the boy in the blue suit had a calm expression, observing discreetly.
He also perceived the state of his soul power absorption; after entering the city, Tang San felt something was off.
He felt his soul power becoming more active.
He felt that some places here could increase his usual cultivation speed by more than half, and there were even many places that attracted him.
Beside him, a pink-haired girl with a scorpion braid was chattering excitedly, hugging his arm and talking non-stop, even pointing at the vehicles people were riding.
Xiao Wu was visiting such a lively place for the first time; the cities she had been to before were utterly dull.
"Blue Silver City seems even livelier; I've only been here once when hunting for spirit rings."
"Zhu Zhuqing, come with me later, my treat."
Ning Rongrong, a girl in an elaborate dress and a knee-length princess gown, looked at the various shops calling out their wares not far away.
She was already planning how to spend her money.
After so many days at the school in the small village, she finally had a chance to have some fun.
With her was a cold-faced girl with long black hair, wearing a form-fitting leather outfit that accentuated her proud figure. Zhu Zhuqing nodded without a word.
Then she looked with a hint of disdain at the several boys hugging each other nearby.
"Boss Dai, let's go check out the quality of the women in Blue Silver City later."
"Hehehe, don't worry, Oscar, it won't take too long."
A sturdy, red-haired fat man spoke excitedly, reaching out to hug the two boys beside him.
Looking at the women on the roadside, he rudely whistled.
Oscar, simply dressed in gray cloth with a pair of peach blossom eyes, somewhat helplessly pushed away the fat man beside him, his gaze involuntarily falling on Ning Rongrong ahead.
He was quite depressed.
"Fatty, you go by yourself, I don't have time to accompany you."
Dai Mubai, also being hugged, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing ahead, straightened his suit, and tidied his messy golden hair, refusing earnestly.
Especially when he felt Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, he really wanted to throw the fatty away.
"No way, you two..."
"Don't be so prim and proper."
"I'll really go have fun by myself and ignore you guys."
Ma Hongjun, the fatty, became dissatisfied and started clamoring loudly when he was rejected.
His voice wasn't small, drawing displeased glances from those around him on the street.
"Alright, quiet down."
"Don't cause trouble for others."
Feeling some unfriendly gazes, the white-haired man, Flander, who was walking ahead, turned around and glared at Ma Hongjun.
"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't you say that not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity? What capabilities do these guys have?"
Ma Hongjun wasn't worried or scared; instead, he became smug.
He completely disregarded the looks from those around him, mainly because he trusted Flander, a Soul Sage, to handle it.
Even Dai Mubai and Oscar beside him seemed to think there was no problem.
"Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity, what a boastful statement."
The arrogant words caused the onlookers to step forward, led by several teenagers in blue and white school uniforms.
Each of them glared angrily at Ma Hongjun and his group.
As native residents of Blue Silver City, they detested these rude individuals the most.
Although they knew that due to Blue Silver City's geographical location, they would inevitably encounter such people, they couldn't help but get angry.
They even wanted to expel them.
Such rule-breakers always brought trouble.
