Chapter 79: Finding the Blue Silver Emperor

After traveling for a while, Zhou Heng and his party arrived not far from Nuoding City at noon.

They stopped here, and after the three of them got off the carriage, Zhou Heng stored the entire carriage into his Battle Instrument martial soul.

This was an ability derived after Zhou Heng's Battle Instrument martial soul evolved, allowing him to store items within the space where the Spirit Beasts he had subdued resided.

Within the spaces of those Spirit Beasts, there was quite a bit of room that could be used to store items; however, the spaces of some Spirit Beasts were not suitable for storing items.

For example, in the volcanic simulated environment where the Fire Phosphorus Melt Beast resided, that kind of high temperature could easily roast a horse until it was cooked.

This was also a change that occurred in the space when the Fire Phosphorus Melt Beast was about to reach ten thousand years of cultivation.

Dugu Bo and the other two all knew that there was a Title Douluo in this Nuoding City, and one who was quite a restraint against his own close-combat explosive-type Title Douluo.

The three of them had to hide their tracks so that they could better accomplish their goal.

After the carriage was taken away, Dugu Bo and the other two walked toward Nuoding City.

Since it was already noon, it was the perfect time to rest for a while in Nuoding City.

Upon arriving in Nuoding City, Dugu Bo and the other two went straight to the largest restaurant in the city and ate a hot meal there.

During this period, the three had been living in the wild, eating the dry rations they carried, and only had the chance to eat a warm meal when they passed through a few villages.

Now that they had the chance to have a proper meal, they naturally wanted to eat their fill.

After a satisfying meal, the three booked the two best rooms in Nuoding City.

Afterward, they headed without pause toward Holy Soul Village outside of Nuoding City; in the original story, Tang Hao had planted the seed left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor in a cave hidden behind a waterfall.

And that waterfall was in the vicinity of Holy Soul Village, not too far away.

Otherwise, Tang Hao would not have hidden in Holy Soul Village.

The three arrived at the back of Holy Soul Village and, using the village as the center, began to search for the waterfall where the Blue Silver Emperor grew.

It took the three of them a full hour to find the cave hidden behind the waterfall in a mountain that was not very tall.

Dugu Bo took Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan down to the bottom of the waterfall, where water vapor swirled and aquatic plants were lush; it was a good place for an outing.

However, none of the three looked at the surrounding environment, but instead looked behind the waterfall, where there was a semicircular shadow—that was the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor resided.

In Zhou Heng's perception, not far behind this waterfall, there was a faint life aura, and this life aura radiated the power of a plant.

After Zhou Heng confirmed that this aura was indeed that of the Blue Silver Emperor, he did not hesitate, nodded slightly to Dugu Bo, and said, "This is the place; let's go over now."

Dugu Bo nodded to indicate he understood, and then, pure soul power wrapped around his body as he walked toward the cave behind the waterfall.

As for Zhou Heng, he manipulated the water elements in the air, condensing them into an ice bridge to block the ceaselessly rushing waterfall.

Afterward, he took Dugu Yan into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, the three could not help but frown; there was no other reason than the fact that the environment here was simply too poor.

The cave was located behind the waterfall, the air was filled with extreme dampness, and there was also a faint smell of decay wafting from the depths of the cave.

Although the soil underfoot looked loose, if one looked closely, the soil was not the yellow-black color that normal soil should be, but gray—pure gray.

In Zhou Heng's perception, there was very little vitality in this soil, not nearly enough for the growth of normal plants.

If a plant grew here, unless it was a shade-loving and moisture-loving plant, it would not survive at all; even in a shade-loving and moisture-loving environment, it would cause the plant to grow extremely weakly, with thin and powerless roots and stems.

It was just unclear how the Blue Silver Emperor growing here was doing.

Zhou Heng and the others continued to walk forward.

After walking more than ten meters, the three arrived in a small room; this room was not small, with a length and width of five meters each, and a height that reached seven meters.

And in the very center of this room, a Blue Silver Grass, entirely water-blue with golden veins, was growing quietly in the room.

It was just that this Blue Silver Grass looked sickly, its stems and leaves thin and weak, appearing very frail.

Dugu Bo looked at this special Blue Silver Grass, circled around it several times, and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Truly miraculous. Originally, Blue Silver Grass is just the most common weed; however, although this Blue Silver Grass looks weak and thin, it contains tenacious vitality within it. Rare, truly rare." Dugu Bo could not stop praising the Blue Silver Emperor.

Dugu Yan was also very curious about this special Blue Silver Grass; she looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, since this Blue Silver Emperor possesses such vitality, can it achieve limb regeneration?"

Dugu Bo did not dare to be certain and looked at Zhou Heng, the questioning intent in his eyes not concealed.

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "The possibility is not high. Although the Blue Silver Emperor possesses vast vitality, to achieve limb regeneration, it requires not only vast vitality but also a soul skill with the attribute of creation to be able to do so."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Afterward, the Awakening Battle Instrument appeared in Zhou Heng's right hand.

Then, a golden beam of light flew out from the Battle Instrument martial soul and linked to the Blue Silver Emperor; the Blue Silver Emperor felt the traction of the Battle Instrument martial soul, its stems and leaves twisting as it wanted to resist the traction of the golden light beam shot out by the Battle Instrument martial soul.

Zhou Heng's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the resisting Blue Silver Emperor, a flash of disdain in his eyes—it had fallen to this state, yet it still wanted to resist.

Immediately, he injected mental power into the Awakening Battle Instrument martial soul, and the golden light beam instantly surged, completely suppressing the Blue Silver Emperor and pulling it to fly into the Awakening Battle Instrument.

The moment the Blue Silver Emperor was subdued by the Battle Instrument martial soul, a white soul ring appeared at Zhou Heng's feet.

Looking at the appearance of this white soul ring, this soul ring had at most forty-some years of age.

Dugu Bo looked at the white soul ring at Zhou Heng's feet and was not worried about whether this white soul ring would delay Zhou Heng's cultivation.

One had to know that the Spirit Beasts in Zhou Heng's hands previously had all already reached over ninety thousand years.

With Zhou Heng there, even if the Spirit Beast Zhou Heng subdued was an ant, Dugu Bo believed that Zhou Heng could pile that ant up to a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

Now it was just subduing a Blue Silver Emperor that was re-cultivating; relying on Zhou Heng's methods, he would definitely be able to make the Blue Silver Emperor become a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast again.

Zhou Heng looked at the ten-year soul ring at his feet, feeling somewhat puzzled.

According to the ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, from the time of the sacrifice until it was planted here, eight years had already passed.

In eight years, as long as the Blue Silver Emperor obtained some nutrients, it could easily reach a hundred-year Spirit Beast.

Now, how could it only be a ten-year Spirit Beast?

Zhou Heng truly did not understand.

However, feeling the extremely damp air in the cave and looking at this room that saw no sunlight,

other than two or three ventilation holes on the ceiling of the room, there was no other connection to the outside world.

One had to know that no matter how much vitality the Blue Silver Emperor possessed, it still needed water, sunlight, and nutrients.

Tang Hao chose to plant the Blue Silver Emperor in a place like this; I truly do not understand if Tang Hao wanted the Blue Silver Emperor to survive, or if he did not want the Blue Silver Emperor to survive.
