Chapter 139: Blue Silver Forest

Yu Tianyun, following the feeling from the Star Dou Great Forest, darted off in one direction.

After each stretch of flight, he landed among the woods, carefully sensing his surroundings to avoid veering off course.

When the bright moon hung high in the sky, Yu Tianyun, after flying for a full three hours, arrived in a forest.

The forest was not large; even compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, it was less than half the size of the Sunset Forest.

However, as soon as he stepped inside, Yu Tianyun noticed what set this forest apart: its plants had endured countless ages and appeared extremely ancient.

All he could see were towering trees that pierced the clouds; even though the full moon shone brilliantly, its light could not penetrate the dense foliage to reach the forest floor.

Yu Tianyun stepped within, feeling an intensely familiar aura, and instantly realized this was Ah Yin's birthplace—the Blue Silver Forest! Wherever he walked, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground seemed to cheer excitedly, its blades swaying gently in unison as if they possessed consciousness, dancing to welcome Yu Tianyun's arrival.

Yu Tianyun gave a faint smile, released his spiritual power, and instantly linked with the Blue Silver Grass on the ground, forming a spiritual magnetic field.

"King? Great King, is it really you? You finally came, thank the heavens."

Just as the spiritual magnetic field formed, without warning, a voice suddenly rang in Yu Tianyun's mind.

"You really think I'm the Blue Silver Emperor? Seems my digestion is quite strong, having absorbed all of Ah Yin?"

Yu Tianyun felt a slight surprise in his heart, yet a faint smile still lingered on his face.

At that moment, the voice sounded again, this time with some urgency:

"King! Please come to me, may I?"

He knew the spiritual ripple came from the Blue Silver King, a Blue Silver Grass that possessed eighty‑five thousand years of cultivation.

The Blue Silver King's intense spiritual aura continuously called and guided him.

Yu Tianyun furrowed his brows, hesitated briefly, then continued onward. His purpose was to eliminate this Blue Silver King, thereby depriving Tang San of the chance for a second martial soul awakening.

The reason he did not bring Liu Erlong and Ye Lingling with him was his worry of encountering Tang Hao here.

He himself was no longer afraid of Tang Hao; even if he couldn't win, he could leave calmly, but bringing the two women made a clean retreat difficult.

As for where Tang Hao was at this moment, Yu Tianyun was unsure, but he had already altered many historical trajectories himself, making Tang Hao's current location unpredictable.

However, after forming a spiritual magnetic field with the Blue Silver Grass here, Yu Tianyun confirmed that Tang Hao was not present.

Yu Tianyun moved at great speed; a quarter hour later, he reached his destination.

"King, I am here."

This time the Blue Silver King's voice no longer sounded in his mind but came to his ears.

Yu Tianyun looked toward the sound and saw, behind two ancient trees large enough for several people to embrace, a strange plant. The voice emanated from that plant.

It was a rather peculiar plant, composed of countless slender vines intertwined, standing over ten meters tall. Its skin shimmered with crystalline blue, and around it, Blue Silver Grass grew especially luxuriantly.

Each vine's diameter exceeded a foot, thicker than an ordinary person's waist, and they swayed gently.

At the very center of the tangled vines, a human‑face outline had formed. At this moment, its expression was smiling, as if smiling at itself.

"First see what it says; no need to rush to destroy it outright."

Yu Tianyun's face bore a faint smile as he stepped forward. He knew this was the Blue Silver King; its aura's intensity was comparable to the earlier Red Blood Tyrannosaur, yet it was not as violent, instead unusually gentle, brimming with vigorous life energy.

"Are you calling me?"

Yu Tianyun's gaze was clear as he looked at the Blue Silver King's "big face".

"Yes, my great King, it is I, your subject, calling you."

The Blue Silver King's big face displayed expressions as rich as any human's; he opened his mouth excitedly and said,

"Who are you? How did I become your King?"

Yu Tianyun's face showed curiosity as he asked. The Blue Silver King smiled and said:

"Because noble blood runs through you, more esteemed than mine. If I am the King of Blue Silver Grass, then you are the Emperor among the Blue Silver Grass."

Listening to the Blue Silver King's voice, Yu Tianyun's expression remained unchanged; before he could continue, the Blue Silver King spoke again:

"My bloodline realm is still fifteen thousand years behind yours. Seeing you, I am delighted; sensing the aura of your bloodline, I seem to have found the way to continue my cultivation, thank you, my noble King."

Yu Tianyun feigned a puzzled expression and tentatively asked:

"Perhaps you are mistaken! I am not your King; I am merely an ordinary human Soul Master."

"No, no, no," the Blue Silver King's voice denied hastily:

"My most precious King, I could never be mistaken. The aura you bear is that of the Empress; that cannot be wrong. The bloodline you possess is the Blue Silver Imperial Clan's bloodline!"

Yu Tianyun then raised another question: "What exactly is your purpose in summoning me here?"

The Blue Silver King paused, then said:

"Great King, is it not that you came here for me to help awaken your martial soul?"

"???"

Three question marks instantly flashed in Yu Tianyun's mind, and he wondered, "My martial soul is the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur! Though I now possess the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, does that mean I can awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul? Forget it, I'll ask him first; if there's no benefit, I'll cut off Tang San's opportunity altogether!"

Immediately, Yu Tianyun voiced his doubt: "My martial soul is neither Blue Silver Grass nor the Blue Silver Emperor you speak of; it is the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Tianyun released his martial soul, a powerful draconic aura surging toward the Blue Silver King.

At that moment, the Blue Silver King was completely stunned, stammering, "Impossible! The aura on you is clearly the Empress's; your mother must be the Empress!"

Yu Tianyun furrowed his brows, pondering:

"Should I go along with his story? Then let's try. Mom, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you first."

Just as Yu Tianyun was about to speak, the Blue Silver King seemed to have an epiphany and said, "I understand, King. You truly are our great King, but your father's bloodline is stronger, which is why you have not awakened the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. I can sense the noble draconic bloodline within you; it must be so."

Yu Tianyun was initially stunned, then silently chuckled to himself:

"Not bad, this self‑fabrication saves me from having to play the unfilial son and explain it."

The Blue Silver King's mood seemed pleasant, and he continued:

"Great King, even if you lack the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, I can still help you awaken the Empress's bloodline. Across this continent, I am the longest‑living Blue Silver Grass aside from the Empress, which is why I am called the Blue Silver King. Today, meeting you, as your subordinate, we will forever support you. So, will you forever protect your subjects?"

"I agree."

Yu Tianyun did not hesitate at all and readily accepted.

The Blue Silver King's words about awakening the bloodline made Yu Tianyun immediately think of the Blue Silver Domain; having an extra domain is definitely a good thing, only a fool would refuse!

As for the promise to the Blue Silver King, Yu Tianyun thought, let's see how things go; if he truly succeeds in awakening the Blue Silver Domain, sparing its life would not be impossible.

Tang San poses little threat to him now; his coming here is merely placing an idle pawn. Even if Tang San awakens the Blue Silver Emperor, what could he do?

Dear Mother entangled? Hmph, snap it with a pull.

As Yu Tianyun pondered, two drops of blue tears streamed down the large face of the Blue Silver King, woven from vines, and it exclaimed excitedly.

"Sixteen years have passed, full sixteen years without sensing Your Majesty's aura. Today we are finally no longer children without a mother. Your Majesty, please accept our worship."

These words made Yu Tianyun feel embarrassed; he muttered to himself, 'Just call me Your Majesty if you're going to call me that, why call me Mother! I'm a man, call me Dad! …'

However, while Yu Tianyun harbored those thoughts, a vast and mighty aura surged forth, not emanating from the Blue Silver King before him, but from this entire expansive forest!
