"Your Highness, you've returned!"
Within the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver King immediately came forward with respect upon sensing Tang Chuan's arrival.
"Yes, I'm back."
Tang Chuan nodded in acknowledgment.
Seeing him return, Ah Yin felt deep guilt. Through their spiritual connection, her voice trembled with remorse and sorrow.
"Chuan'er, Mother is sorry."
"I never imagined you lived such a difficult life as a child. I was too focused on defending that hypocritical Tang Hao and failed to truly care for you."
"This is my fault."
Her voice gradually choked as she spoke.
"Now I understand. He does not deserve to be your father at all. I was completely wrong about him."
"It is a good thing that you chose to sever ties with him. I fully support you now."
As she spoke, a Blue Silver Emperor vine, already as thick as a baby's wrist, gently wrapped around Tang Chuan's wrist, stroking him like a loving hand.
"It's alright, Mother."
"As long as you understand now, that's enough."
Tang Chuan smiled faintly, showing no resentment.
"By the way, Mother, this comparison video has exposed this location. It is very likely that others will come searching for it, so I must take you away."
Looking at the comparison heavenly screen in the sky, Tang Chuan spoke in a serious tone.
"I understand."
"Wherever you go, I will follow."
Ah Yin replied softly.
"Don't worry, Mother. I will definitely take you somewhere better."
Tang Chuan reassured her with a smile.
However, when his gaze shifted to the Blue Silver King, his expression became troubled.
His mother's current size made her easy to move, but the Blue Silver King was far too massive to relocate.
"Your Highness, you need not worry about me."
A gentle smile appeared on the Blue Silver King's aged face.
"I cannot leave this place, so I will not accompany you."
"However, since this location has been exposed, humans may come searching for me in the future, and remaining here is no longer safe."
"Therefore, I have decided to sacrifice myself to Your Highness, making one final contribution to the Blue Silver Grass clan."
"If I can help Your Highness break through and become your spirit ring, that would be ideal."
"If not, I will guide the energy of the sacrifice into your existing spirit rings, helping them all advance to the ten-thousand-year level."
Tang Chuan felt conflicted, yet he did not refuse.
For the Blue Silver King, this was indeed the best possible outcome.
"Blue Silver King, thank you."
"I promise that I will work hard to strengthen the Blue Silver Grass clan and lead it toward a more glorious future."
Taking a deep breath, Tang Chuan made his vow with utmost sincerity.
"Moreover, a sacrifice preserves a complete soul."
"When I ascend to godhood in the future, I will raise the age of your spirit ring to a million years, help you resurrect, and let you become my Spirit Soul, sharing eternal life with me."
"Haha, very well, Your Highness."
"I will await the day you become a God."
With a kind smile, the Blue Silver King began the sacrifice.
In an instant, a brilliant blood-red light erupted from its body, forming a vast shield that spread outward and enveloped the surroundings.
During the process, the Blue Silver King's body crystallized into a blood-red statue, while streams of crimson light continuously flowed into Tang Chuan, strengthening his body and raising his spirit power.
Previously, after absorbing the sacrifice of the hundred-thousand-year Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Tang Chuan's cultivation had risen from level 50 quasi–Soul King to level 54.
After fusing with its left leg bone, his cultivation increased further to level 57.
Now, as he accepted the Blue Silver King's sacrifice, whose cultivation had reached eighty thousand years, his strength surged again, breaking through directly to level 60 quasi–Soul Emperor.
At that moment, the Blue Silver King disappeared completely, leaving behind an eighty-thousand-year spirit ring, pitch black in color, along with a left arm bone that shimmered like blue crystal.
Immediately, the spirit ring attached itself to Tang Chuan, becoming the sixth ring of his Blue Silver Life Tree Martial Soul and pushing him into the realm of Spirit Emperor.
Once the sacrifice ended, the blood-red barrier dissipated.
Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath, feeling the immense change within his body. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Let me test the sixth spirit skill gained from the Blue Silver King."
After testing it, he named the ability Blue Silver Life Halo.
This skill allowed him to deploy a life field similar to a domain, forming a halo of vitality.
Within this halo, all plant life experienced greatly accelerated growth and recovery, gradually evolving toward the Blue Silver Life Tree.
If the plants were Blue Silver Grass, their growth and recovery speed, along with their evolution efficiency, would double.
At the same time, through the life halo, his Martial Soul could forcibly establish a life link with surrounding plants, drawing upon their vitality for his own use.
However, despite completing the sacrifice and advancing to Spirit Emperor, Tang Chuan chose not to absorb the Blue Silver King's left arm bone.
He had already fused with the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone left behind by Ah Yin.
As a subordinate of the Blue Silver Emperor, and with cultivation below one hundred thousand years, the Blue Silver King's spirit bone would only grant a single skill, and its effect could not surpass that of the Emperor.
As a transmigrator, Tang Chuan knew there were far better spirit bones he could obtain in the future.
After completing everything, although he felt reluctant to leave, Tang Chuan still dug up Ah Yin once again, placed her into a flowerpot, and set off toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A few days after his departure, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo finally arrived at the Blue Silver Forest, only to find it completely empty.
Meanwhile, after leaving the forest and traveling for more than a day, Tang Chuan returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within the Sunset Forest and transplanted Ah Yin beside it.
"Mother, the environment here is quite good, isn't it?"
After finishing, Tang Chuan asked with a smile.
"This place is nothing short of a sacred land for plant spirit beasts."
Standing within the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin spoke with immense excitement.
"Here, my cultivation speed can reach a hundred times that of the outside world."
Originally, it might have taken tens of thousands of years for her to return to the hundred-thousand-year level and transform into a human once again.
But now, she felt that it might only take a hundred years.
