Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

He had taken the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, taken away Ah Yin, and incidentally seen the Tang God-King, planting a seed of doubt for Ah Yin.

Perhaps now it could no longer be called doubt.

After getting along for these few days, Lin Feng also discovered that Ah Yin had actually come to believe this situation a little in her heart, she just didn't want to admit it.

In these few days, Lin Feng also often let Ah Yin out to see the world, which could be considered as letting her familiarize herself with it in advance.

Because it was a bit eye-catching during the day, plus the reason that Blue Silver Grass absorbing the energy of heaven and earth was more suitable at night, he often let Ah Yin out at night.

On this night with hazy moonlight and a gentle breeze, the earth seemed to be gently covered by a layer of soft silver gauze, appearing both mysterious and tranquil.

Lin Feng and Ah Yin stood side by side on this open space dotted with the light of Blue Silver Grass. The shadows of the two were elongated in the faint fluorescent light, weaving a warm and harmonious picture.

Ah Yin lowered her head and stared at the Blue Silver Grass under her feet, which emitted specks of light, complex emotions surging in her heart.

These tiny lights were the inseparable bond between her and this continent.

She could feel that every time night fell, these Blue Silver Grass, like her children, would greedily absorb the energy between heaven and earth and grow strong.

"Xiao Feng, the me of the past," Ah Yin closed her eyes, "was I really wrong?

I forgot that I was still the Emperor of the Blue Silver clan.

This act of abandoning my own identity, of arbitrarily losing my life, was an irresponsible act towards them."

Ah Yin squatted down, her fair hand gently stroking the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.

Due to her current form, her two hands passed directly through it.

A look of guilt was in her eyes.

And the Blue Silver Grass, as if seeing its mother, happily swayed its branches and leaves.

Seeing this situation, the look of frustration on Ah Yin's face grew even stronger.

Lin Feng lay on the grass, a horsetail weed dangling from his mouth.

"That question, I cannot answer it. You need to find the answer yourself.

But I only know one thing. What has already happened, no matter how much you regret it, is useless.

What is important is what you do in the future.

Why did you come to the human world in the first place?"

Ah Yin was stunned, looking at the very leisurely Lin Feng.

She couldn't help but let go of some of her own complicated thoughts and sat quietly by Lin Feng's side.

Several meters away, her small hands hugged her own calves, looking at the tips of her feet.

Why did I come to the human world?

So much time has passed, it seems I can't even remember clearly...

For a soul beast, after its cultivation reached 100,000 years, there were two paths before them.

One was to transform into a human and re-cultivate as a human soul master.

This could avoid the heavenly tribulation, but one had to bear the consequence of possibly having their identity exposed and being hunted by human soul masters before level 60.

This point was actually not a big deal. As long as one didn't court death and steadily endured until level 60, they could be said to be a real human.

This path meant a longer future, and the possibility of reaching the supreme realm.

However, the current Divine Realm had long since blacklisted experts who had cultivated from transformed soul beasts from inheriting a god-seat.

This meant that the path of soul beast transformation was destined for death, just delayed by a few hundred years after avoiding the heavenly tribulation.

But it was worth noting that this unwritten rule of the Divine Realm was not known to the people of the present.

And the other choice was to continue to cultivate and grow in the body of a soul beast.

And during this period, one had to constantly pass through heavenly tribulations. Every 1000 years after the first 100,000 years was a life-and-death test.

If you passed, you could continue to grow. If you didn't pass, you would die.

Moreover, the power of the heavenly tribulation also grew stronger each time.

This required the soul beast itself to possess great strength.

And if this strength were to be quantified in the original novel, it would be the high and low status of one's bloodline.

With a bloodline strength like Xiao Wu's, it was clear she could not break through to a million years.

And even if she cultivated to a million years, I'm afraid the gods of the Divine Realm would have to descend and intervene.

A certain fish in the sea... was about to break through to a million years and become a god, but was directly plotted against by the Sea God, its life "lawfully deprived"...

It could be said that both sides were actually dead ends for soul beasts.

And when Ah Yin chose to transform back then, fear of the heavenly tribulation was one aspect, and yearning for the human world was another.

"It should be... more of a curiosity for the human world.

Our Blue Silver clan is spread all over the continent. The memories they transmitted made me develop a strong curiosity about the human world.

Those dazzling buildings, the various forms of clothing, the sumptuous and delicious wines and delicacies, and all kinds of things I had never seen before.

I wanted to see them all for myself.

Plus, for the upcoming heavenly tribulation, I didn't have a very firm grasp in my heart..."

A yearning for the human world?

Lin Feng nodded:

"I can understand. Then back then, or rather, this experience of coming to the human world, how did you feel?"

Feel?

Ah Yin blinked her eyes.

Ever since leaving the Blue Silver Forest and entering the human world... everything was so novel.

A completely different experience from when she was a soul beast.

In fact, after transforming, she had still cultivated for a period of time before walking out of the forest.

It was just that after experiencing a period of colorful life... she seemed to have met the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

After that, it was constant training, clashes with soul masters and soul beasts, battles of life and death.

And after that, it seemed to be being hunted down and fleeing, and finally, falling into a deep slumber...

A look of confusion appeared in Ah Yin's eyes.

When I first came to the human world, was this what I was pursuing?

Constantly fighting as a human soul master, constantly adventuring, living this kind of life?

But back then, after befriending Tang Hao and his brother, she was invited to travel with them.

It seemed that all she did were these things.

These things, in themselves, were not interesting.

Simply fighting and getting stronger did not hold that strong of a desire for her.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, her nature was tranquil and elegant. Her personality was very gentle, and she didn't know how to refuse.

At certain moments, she could even be described with the term "meekly accepting."

During this period of training on the continent, the specific affairs were actually all guided by Tang Hao and his brother.

Whatever they did, she would follow. After all, she had just come to the human world and didn't know so many principles and rules.

Or perhaps she lacked her own strong opinion, and was too obedient.

"The feeling of those times, I don't seem to remember it clearly anymore..."

"Then that means those experiences were not what you truly wanted."

Lin Feng bit the horsetail weed in his mouth and said.

"If those experiences had left you with beautiful memories, they should have made a deep impression on you."

"Is that so..."

Ah Yin turned her head.

She looked at the youth's slightly hazy face under the moonlight.

"What about you? Until now, the years and memories you have experienced...

Are they beautiful to you?"

Lin Feng chuckled:

"Of course they are.

I know clearly what I want.

And I am walking on the right path.

The research of martial soul theory is just an important step for me to reach the end.

For me, perhaps I am very greedy.

I want to hold tightly in my hands the things that are beautiful to me.

It's a bit difficult.

Sometimes I might even sink deep into a mire, but I am happy to do so."

A smile bloomed on Lin Feng's face.

That smile was something Ah Yin had never seen before.

She could feel that what Lin Feng was thinking in his heart at this moment was indeed what he wanted, as he said. That's why he felt happy.

Ah Yin lowered her gaze:

"Then Xiao Feng, what do you think I should do in the future?"

Lin Feng shook his head:

"How you walk in the future is not something I can decide.

When your cultivation recovers to ten thousand years, I will take you back to the Blue Silver Forest. But during this time, you can choose the life you want.

Although you are still just a soul body now, I will try my best to meet your needs.

After all, you have already given me theoretical inspiration. This can be considered payment."

Ah Yin nodded.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that recovering her cultivation too quickly was not a good thing.

Staying by this youth's side...

It seemed that she had a deeper understanding of what she truly wanted than in the past dozen or so years.

Sometimes, she even felt that Lin Feng was very much like that elder, the Blue Silver King.

As the Emperor of the Blue Silver clan, her own growth speed was actually very fast. The time she had truly descended upon the world was less than that of the Blue Silver King.

For the things of the world, that elder's understanding was above her own. And because of this, although her identity was the Emperor, the Blue Silver King was more like an elder guarding her, giving her inspiration and guidance.

Lin Feng was clearly so young, yet the words he spoke often made her think deeply...

And his theoretical achievements... were also so shocking.

If back then I had chosen not to join Tang Hao and his brother's team, but instead conducted martial soul theory research in a human city, what would the result have been?

Thinking about it, it should have been a bit more interesting than blood and fire.

As for what I want to do now...

Before I recover, should I stay by this youth's side?

"I...

I want to take a good stroll in the human cities again."

"That's possible, but your current state..."

A trace of bitterness was in Ah Yin's voice.

She had already lost her physical body.

Making this kind of request would make things very difficult for Xiao Feng, right?

"Should we go to the Blue Silver Forest?

I think they can help you recover your physical body. It's something they can do. You can quickly recover your cultivation, although it will cost something."

"No!"

Ah Yin shouted this word almost instantly.

"I...

I'll wait a few more days. I'm not in a hurry.

The branches and leaves that grow from my main body can also perceive the surrounding situation. Although my vision is limited, it doesn't hinder my feelings."

Lin Feng shrugged.

"Alright. It's really a bit strange. Taking you to the Blue Silver Forest earlier, you actually think it's not good?"

Ah Yin turned her head away, her earlobes slightly red.

"That...

I'm not yet ready to face my clansmen. Yes, that's right."

"Fine.

But I have one more thing to say. Tang Hao is already on Spirit Hall's blacklist. After returning to the Blue Silver Forest, you must not try to come to Spirit City.

If you choose wrongly again, the only thing waiting for you is the path of extinction."

Ah Yin was stunned. On her originally gentle and lovely face, a faint anger unconsciously arose.

Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly.

"Hmph—"

"What are you hmphing about?"

Ah Yin gritted her teeth. A blade of Blue Silver Grass suddenly grew from the ground and gently slapped Lin Feng's body, as if venting her dissatisfaction.

"I won't go, are you satisfied?!"

Lin Feng pulled away the Blue Silver Grass, whose force was so light it was like giving him a massage.

"It's good that you're not going.

I don't want to have to cross blades with a friend later on."

"You!..."

Ah Yin's mouth was puffed up, somewhat frustrated.
