Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

As a special martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor possesses the characteristic of bloodline inheritance.

When a holder of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline dies or offers themselves as a sacrifice, their bloodline and origin may be preserved in some form, waiting for a new successor.

Ah Yin, as the Blue Silver Emperor, could be reborn in the form of a seed even after her sacrifice.

The ultimate evolutionary skill of the Blue Silver Domain—All Rivers Run into the Sea.

In any place where Blue Silver Grass exists, the domain can convert the life force of all Blue Silver Grass into any form of energy the Blue Silver Emperor needs (such as life force, soul power, or spiritual power), thereby supplementing itself. As long as there is still Blue Silver Grass, the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor will not be exhausted.

This skill makes the Blue Silver Emperor almost invincible when fighting an opponent of the same level in a forest.

On the Douluo Continent, the existence of only one Blue Silver Emperor is enough to illustrate the specialty of this bloodline.

"Is this the Blue Silver Domain? It's a very strange feeling."

Lin Feng sat beside Ah Yin's soul body, lost in thought.

A trace of anxiety was in Ah Yin's brow.

In her current state, maintaining the Blue Silver Domain was still a bit difficult for her.

"With a domain like this, if you had been able to freely escape into a forest back then...

With the Blue Silver Domain, not only could you conceal your own aura and disguise yourself, at the same time, All Rivers Run into the Sea would bring you a nearly inexhaustible source of energy. How could you have been so easily killed?

Were there also some problems with your escape route back then?"

Ah Yin bit her lower lip tightly, without words.

A look of sorrow appeared in her eyes. She looked at Lin Feng as if pleading.

"I'm begging you, can we not talk about this anymore? You've already said enough these past few days.

Even if that child really has a problem, even if Tang Hao really did something to wrong me back then... my identity is still here now. I don't want to be constantly sinking into the past.

Really, it's very painful..."

The main body of the Blue Silver Emperor seemed to feel Ah Yin's emotions. It became withered, its branches and leaves drooping slightly.

"Alright, I'll try to mention it less in the future.

But you should also know that there are some things you will have to face eventually.

During this time, haven't you also seen the performance of that Tang San?

What do you think of the tools he made, his unknown cultivation methods, and his mentality that is different from ordinary people?"

"I don't know..."

Ah Yin shook her head, still unwilling to admit this fact in her heart.

"Let's leave it to time. You will get the answer.

Speaking of which, we actually didn't take Tang Hao's life. He is now still wandering in Spirit City.

If you want to hear his true words, you can find a spiritual-attribute soul master, charm his spirit, and ask about the truth of that year.

The journey to Spirit City is only a month's time."

Lin Feng guided her patiently.

"No!

No..."

Ah Yin turned her head away.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, please don't take me there.

I don't want to hear if he was really like that back then..."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded:

"You seem to be afraid?

Then let's forget it.

Ah Yin, you seem to still be afraid of me?

What is there to be afraid of about me? For you, I brought you out from that sunless cave and gave you the possibility to recover your cultivation.

And I don't even covet your 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and plan to return you to the Blue Silver Forest.

I should be a benefactor.

Why now, are you still calling me by such a respectful and distant title as 'Your Highness, the Holy Son'?

You are a little older than me. Just call me Lin Feng, or Xiao Feng."

"But, but... your identity..."

Ah Yin's tone was conflicted.

Lin Feng waved his hand:

"Identity?

Do you think this kind of identity is worth talking about between us? You yourself are a soul beast in your true form, while I am a human.

We, who should have had no intersection, have now come into contact. Since neither of us wants to put the other to death...

Then let's just be friends.

There are not so many shackles between friends."

Ah Yin was stunned:

"You really don't care about my soul beast identity?"

Lin Feng casually picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Soul beasts and humans...

Aren't they both living beings of this continent? It's just that the rules of this heaven and earth have destined the two to be enemies. But sometimes, there is no need for so much hatred."

"Actually, this world is far more complex and diverse than we imagine," Lin Feng put down his teacup, his gaze gently looking at Ah Yin.

"The boundary between soul beasts and humans is not insurmountable.

On this continent, all things have a spirit. Every life has its own value and meaning of existence.

Your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline not only grants you great power but also carries the mysteries of life and the wisdom of nature.

I respect you, just as I respect every living being on this continent."

"And," Lin Feng continued, "I have always believed that true strength lies not in bloodline or race, but in the heart and will.

Your resilience, your kindness, and your courage to do whatever it takes to protect those you love—all these far surpass your identity.

In my heart, you are a respected friend, not a simple soul beast or an enemy."

A trace of emotion flashed in Ah Yin's eyes. She gently lowered her eyelids, seeming to be trying hard to digest the impact of these words.

This young man is indeed very different.

If back then...

A moment later, she slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with unprecedented determination:

"Lin Feng, thank you.

I am willing to try, to get along with you as a friend. I am also willing to offer my assistance to you during this time."

Lin Feng smiled faintly, stretched out his palm, and gently covered the back of Ah Yin's hand, giving her silent support and encouragement: "It's good that you can think this way, Ah Yin."

He clearly hadn't actually touched her, yet it made Ah Yin's cheeks flush slightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The surroundings seemed to become brighter and warmer because of this.

The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor also seemed to feel this harmonious atmosphere, swaying gently, emitting a faint fluorescent light, adding a bit of mystery and peace to the quiet night.

"Then... then Xiao Feng, do you need to go deeper into the research of my undying characteristic?"

Ah Yin tucked a strand of beautiful hair behind her cloud-like temple.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"Actually, it's about done.

Once one law is understood, all laws are understood.

The essence of the Blue Silver Emperor's immortality lies more in your innate domain.

The third level of the Blue Silver Domain allows you to absorb the life force of other Blue Silver Grass. Blue Silver Grass is spread all over the continent. It can be said that unless all the Blue Silver Grass on the entire continent is completely exterminated, the Blue Silver Emperor will never truly die.

And another important key...

Is the circulation of energy.

The unique energy transfer of your clan can be said to be a darling of nature.

In this process, the Blue Silver Emperor is not just a simple energy absorber, but also an energy regulator.

It perceives the energy in the surrounding environment and adjusts its output and absorption according to itself to achieve a dynamic balance.

This ability is one of the reasons why you can maintain a strong life force when facing difficulties and injuries, and recover quickly after being heavily injured.

Energy circulation and balance, this point is also an important key to being undying.

I have already gotten the answer I want."

Ah Yin was stunned.

"So fast? It's only been a week..."

Ah Yin's tone seemed a little lost, and also a little happy.

It was truly very complicated.

There was joy for Lin Feng being able to get the answer he wanted so quickly.

There was relief that she could return to the Blue Silver Forest sooner.

At the same time, there was also an inexplicable sense of loss. Is the comprehension of this human who could create Soul Veins so strong?

The reason for this sense of loss was unknown.

Perhaps it's because I've lost my value to him so quickly?

I can't stay by his side anymore?

It had clearly only been a short week of getting along, but she seemed to have already grown to like this feeling.

Here with him, she didn't have to consider any trivial matters between soul beasts and humans.

Logically speaking, she should already be his trophy. It wouldn't be too much no matter how he treated her.

But from beginning to end, he had always treated her with an equal mentality, and even as a mentor, guiding her.

Although sometimes he was more like a demon guiding her to doubt her past, having already seen Tang San's strangeness with her own eyes, and seen Tang Hao's appearance in the memories of the past six years, she also knew in her heart that he was indeed doing it for her own good.

To let her see her past foolishness sooner...

Ah Yin slowly shook her head, putting away the strange emotion in the bottom of her heart...

Lin Feng seemed to have noticed the subtle change in Ah Yin's emotions.

He smiled lightly, a warm and sincere smile, as if it could dispel all the gloom.

"What are you thinking about? Why do you seem a little down?

Are you lacking medicinal liquid?"

Lin Feng took out a bottle of green medicinal liquid specially made from a high-grade immortal herb and slowly dripped it onto the main body of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Ah Yin lowered her head, as if not daring to look at Lin Feng at all, and gently hummed in agreement.

Immediately, she transformed into a fluorescent light and returned to the main body of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor continued to sway gently, emitting an even softer light.

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth hooked up. Actually, he had just noticed that Ah Yin's mood was a little off.

He gave her a way out.

With the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone still buried in the soil, how could she be spiritually withered?

"Truly a gentle woman."

Lin Feng sighed lightly.

From the very beginning, she had not implicated him with past grudges just because he was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.

Her gentleness was not only reflected in her care and consideration for the people around her. Even for a stranger, she could treat them with a kind heart.

Perhaps the Blue Silver Emperor itself carried freshness and vitality. That was the comfort and peace from nature.

After transforming, it also brought her this kind of personality.

Pure and beautiful.

He suddenly discovered that it seemed all soul beasts' IQ would drop a little after transforming.

Or should I say, a bit naive.

When he and his brother Tang Hao first met her, their soul power levels could not be clearly examined.

But one point was clearly known.

Three years after they met, Tang Hao had already reached level 84 and was a Soul Douluo.

And Tang Xiao was a full 14 years older than Tang Hao.

Even if Tang Hao was only a Soul Sage when he met Ah Yin, Tang Xiao must have been a Soul Douluo at that time.

The title of the Clear Sky Twin Stars... it was impossible for the talent between the two to be too far apart.

Both of them had walked out from a sea of blood.

Tang Hao had even obtained the Slaughter God Domain in the Slaughter City.

Just one look, and they could remain calm upon learning that the person before them was a transformed soul beast?

The Douluo Continent was not lacking in beauties. To say it was love at first sight for the two of them from the three upper sects was probably a bit hard to say...

She was tricked as soon as she came to the human world.

Tang Hao and his brother might have really liked Ah Yin, that's true, but the attraction of a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone was clearly even greater.

It was as if she had heard Lin Feng's praise for her.

The speed at which the Blue Silver Emperor swayed seemed to have quickened a little...

Lin Feng put away Ah Yin's main body and sat down cross-legged again.

"The five elements also need a kind of balance.

Too much of one element or too little of another...

Will affect the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

For me, in fact, the shaping of the Five Elements Soul Veins is still not perfect.

The water and fire origin of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, although they provided an excellent foundation and energy source before and during the birth of the Five Elements Soul Veins...

But after this, because their strength exceeded that of the other three elements, my body has not achieved a true balance.

And the 'five qis' in the Innate Treasure Pearl might be able to help me solve this problem.

These 'five qis' come from nothingness, born when each Soul Vein was shaped, and finally formed through the shaping of that white thin shell.

They contain the purest and most harmonious energy among the five elements.

If I can integrate these 'five qis' into my Five Elements Soul Veins, perhaps it can make my Soul Veins reach an unprecedented balance and perfection.

This will not only enhance the circulation efficiency of the soul power in my body, but may also allow my control over the power of the five elements to reach a new height."

Lin Feng thought to himself, a firm light flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that the path of cultivation was never smooth. Every step required his own unremitting efforts and exploration. The Innate Treasure Pearl in his hand was the key for him to break through to a higher realm.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his body, and began to carefully perceive the circling Soul Veins.

The Soul Veins were all like living rivers, flowing with the soul power of the five elements, sometimes clashing with each other, sometimes coexisting in harmony.

But just as Lin Feng had perceived, the power of the water and fire Soul Veins was too strong, making the other three seem somewhat inferior.

The overall balance was thus affected to a certain extent.

"It's time to let these 'five qis' play their role."

Lin Feng thought to himself, then guided his mind and slowly approached the Innate Treasure Pearl.

As his will concentrated, the surface of the pearl began to emit a faint fluorescent light. Five different colored auras gradually overflowed from within the pearl, surrounding his body.

These auras were precisely the "five qis" contained in the Innate Treasure Pearl.

They were pure and powerful, every wisp containing the most essential power of the five elements.

Lin Feng carefully guided these auras, letting them follow a specific trajectory and slowly merge into his own Five Elements Soul Veins.

As the "five qis" merged in, the Soul Veins in Lin Feng's body began to undergo subtle changes.

The originally slightly imbalanced power distribution gradually became harmonious and unified, and the relationship of mutual generation and restraint between the five elements also became clearer and smoother.

Lin Feng could clearly feel that his soul power was growing at an unprecedented speed, and it was becoming more pure and powerful.

This filled Lin Feng's heart with an indescribable joy and excitement.

However, the joy did not last long.

These "five qis" existed in the Innate Treasure Pearl, each with only a single wisp.

It was not enough to completely regulate it now. It needed time to recover.

Before this, Lin Feng couldn't even mobilize these "five qis."

Compared to when the Innate Treasure Pearl had just changed, had his body undergone new changes again?

When did it change?

—

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

The lake water was clear to the bottom, sparkling, as if containing endless life and vitality.

Gu Yuena, this common lord of soul beasts, had at this moment temporarily shed her huge beast body and transformed into a peerless beauty, quietly standing on the shore of the lake.

Her silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, shining with a soft and mysterious light, complementing the water waves of the Lake of Life, so beautiful it was breathtaking.

Gu Yuena's eyes were deep and bright, as if able to see through the essence of all things in the world, and also seemed to contain the oldest and purest power in the universe.

She gently closed her eyes, feeling the peace and harmony brought by the Lake of Life.

Suddenly, Gu Yuena's eyes opened slightly, as if she had captured some subtle fluctuation.

She turned her head to look into the distance, where Lin Feng was. Although they were far apart...

She could feel an aura different from the past slowly rising.

"Is it him?" Gu Yuena thought to herself. That aura contained both the five elements she was familiar with...

And also seemed to contain some new, more harmonious and powerful energy fluctuation.

She couldn't help but become deeply interested in Lin Feng. After all, on this continent, there were not many people who could so accurately master the five elements and seek a breakthrough.

As the Silver Dragon King, she herself was the strongest existence in the use of elemental power.

Logically speaking, no matter how Lin Feng's body changed, it shouldn't exceed the scope of the laws she understood.

But Lin Feng was different. That instant just now...

"Could it be..." Gu Yuena secretly speculated, "he found some method to harmonize the five elements,

making them reach an unprecedented harmony and power?"

Moving away from simple elements, developing towards a deeper level.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly and shook her head. How could that be possible?

Gu Yuena's thoughts turned over countless times in an instant. Her heart was both surprised and carried a trace of imperceptible anticipation.

As the Silver Dragon King, her understanding of the power of the elements had almost reached the peak of this continent.

Therefore, when she felt the unusual aura on Lin Feng's body, she was so shocked.

"Did he really do it?" Gu Yuena muttered to herself,

but she quickly shook her head again, trying to drive this unrealistic idea from her mind.

However, Gu Yuena's intuition told her that the change in Lin Feng's body was not without reason.

The harmony and power in that aura were something that no disguise could imitate.

"Interesting," Gu Yuena whispered to herself, a playful look flashing in her eyes.

I'm really getting more and more interested in this human. Maybe, just grabbing him directly is also a good choice?

Grab him in one go, and subdue him in an instant!

"Heh~"

Gu Yuena spoke out towards a certain direction at the side:

"Zi Ji, have you seen him? How was his reaction?"

"Yes, Master.

Lin Feng was not overly surprised, as if he had already expected it. He was not shocked by the enlightenment you gave him either.

It seems... he had thought of it long ago."

"Is that so."

Gu Yuena squinted her eyes. "Two and a half years later, bring him here to me."

"Yes, Master."

Zi Ji silently mourned for Lin Feng for a moment. It felt like her master's mood had been good and bad lately, and she didn't know why.
