Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 459 Ghost King Vine

Blue Silver Furnace, a key series.

The Blue Silver Evolutionary Organ is configured with mixed pharmacology and mixed toxicology. The more complete and stronger the types of toxins within the entire population, the stronger the effect of the "Blue Silver Furnace".

Han Tao hesitated slightly before replying, "Therefore."

"Before creating the Blue Silver Forge, Blue Silver Grass with various toxins is needed as the base for fusion."

At the center of the ice spring's air currents, a Blue Silver Grass grows, which was originally the location of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Approaching the evolution of immortal herbs
Chrysanthemum Douluo told Han Tao that this was one way to push one's martial soul to its limit.

"Blue Silver Grass, with its five-dimensional adaptability and perfect foundation, is already a top-tier soul beast."

"Although the quality has reached the top level, the characteristics of the cold poison are still weak, and the structural form has not evolved."

The perception triggered by the spiritual bond allowed Han Tao to detect the cold poison beneath the Ice Crystal Grass.

It's a high-level cold poison, but it's still a step away from being the top-tier one.

"That's all."

After a brief pause, Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"When the Frost Poison approaches its limit, help it outline an octagonal structure so that it can break through to the level of an ultimate Soul Beast."

"With its extremely strong structure and grade, it drives the development of extreme cold poison. Thus, [Blue Silver] can naturally acquire the antibody to 'cold poison'."

His gaze gradually shifted, finally settling on the edge of the scorching spring.

The spot where the fiery apricot blossoms once stood is now empty.

The Eight-pointed Ice Grass is, after all, a type of grass, and it shares some similarities with the Blue Silver Grass. However, the "Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass" is completely out of place. A plant that can resist and nurture flames is an unexpected exception.

"Even with convergent evolution, it is impossible to achieve convergence across species."

The streets of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Looking at the farmers, merchants, and soldiers with their full faces, Han Tao was secretly amazed.

"Qian Renxue is a good monarch."

"It seems that the six-winged angel's nature of upholding justice drives her to act in a just manner."

"And the power of faith, as the birth of divinity, compels her to stand on the side of the vast majority."

Ye Lingling sighed leisurely: "Yes!"

The Spirit Hall's advanced system is not entirely without reason.

Han Tao's purpose in coming here was not to praise Qian Renxue, but to obtain his own martial spirit.

"arrive!"

Han Tao and Ye Lingling stopped in their tracks.

Solemn guards stood on both sides, while above the gate was a plaque decorated with sandalwood and the brushstrokes of a master calligrapher.

——Sun and Moon Pavilion——

"Emperor Xueye once came down to destroy this place, but his orders were not carried out."

"The nobles of Tiandou, and even Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, are frequent visitors here. Such orders have become distorted under the influence of many nobles."

"Yuexuan simply changed his name and thus evaded Emperor Xueye's orders."

Ye Lingling's fingers were soft and boneless.

Her mother, Ye Junlan, was a regular here and highly praised the etiquette at Yuexuan.

"stop!"

The guards stopped Han Tao.

This is the duty of the guards. Of course, if your clothes and appearance are really bad, you will be met with their disdainful looks.

Showing the token Xue Qinghe had given him, Han Tao and Ye Lingling entered.

"Is the Ghost King Vine, the martial soul of Aud, the master of the Sun and Moon Pavilion, the king of Ghost Vine?"

"But whether it is or not, its toxicity is even higher."

In the center of Riyue Pavilion, Tang Yuehua, dressed in a silver palace dress, embraced a precious musical instrument with Tiandou characteristics.

Steward Odd stood guard beside her, his wary gaze sweeping over every visitor.

As the instruments resonated and soul power intertwined with the noble realm, the restless hearts of the many soul masters here were calmed and soothed.

"No wonder so many nobles like this place."

Ye Lingling sighed softly.

Her sigh, delivered in a soft tone, suddenly drew the disgust of those around her.

It was as if it were saying: "Don't make strange noises during this enchanting moment, as they disturb my peace of mind."

Han Tao's fingers trembled: "This...this is the antidote for the Yellow Spring Dew."

"The Noble Ring is a martial soul born for the Yellow Spring Dew."

If Tang Yuehua were a Title Douluo, or even just a Soul Saint, Tang Chen would be immune to the harm Huang Quanlu could inflict on him.

The Haotian Sect, full of muscle-bound idiots, only used her as a tool and a beast of burden, never valuing her whatsoever.

"Soul power, annihilated!"

"Sound isolation!"

Suddenly, utter silence descended. The nobles of Riyue Pavilion were thrown into a panic, for they suddenly discovered that their innate soul power was dissolving into nothingness in the air.

"Who?"

Steward Ode suddenly stepped forward and roared at the crowd.

His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out, because everything was obliterated in the illusion.

"I don't have time to wait for you to finish playing!"

"Chief Steward Aud, please summon your Martial Soul now. Please don't make me repeat myself."

Han Tao, with an indifferent expression, took half a step forward.

"It's him?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Tang Yuehua's eyes widened in shock.

Sharp fingernails clenched into a fist, stinging and drawing blood.

"Han Tao is the soul master who killed my brother, and now he is a major enemy of the Clear Sky Sect. He is currently at the Sun and Moon Pavilion and has no defenses against me."

"Can I take revenge with the help of the Heavenly Dou Nobles?"

Tang Yuehua thought to herself, then shook her head.

He lowered his head and sighed, "My elder brother and father were able to easily crush the Sun and Moon Pavilion, yet they couldn't kill Han Tao. I suppose I can't do it either."

Ode feigned composure and summoned his martial spirit.

—Ghost King Vine
He soon discovered that his proud martial spirit was trembling and filled with fear.
"why?"

The steward was puzzled.

The perception granted by his martial soul allowed him to sense an unusual anomaly.

"This is the highest position in the bloodline."

Ode sensed an aura emanating from the "Emperor," even surpassing that of the "Emperor," a level he could not comprehend.

Han Tao leaned against the wall railing, his posture unrestrained.

With a casual flick of the wrist, the reflection of the blue silver grass appears in the mirror, transforming into blue, silver, gold, and green in succession.

Nine leaves, blooming in fluorescent green, exude an inexplicable nobility.

"The Nine-Leaf Blue Silver Emperor represents the pinnacle of form, the pinnacle of bloodline, and the convergence of form and evolution."

Looking him directly in the eye, Han Tao's eyes showed approval.

Inside the soul tool, Ning Fengzhi unfolded a page of his "Special Martial Soul Inheritance Soul Skills".

"From the datura snake, to the ghost vine snake, then to the sea viper, and then intertwined with the cyanotoxin..."

"This is the wrong path!" Han Tao said resolutely.

Blue Silver Emperor can only counter Blue Silver Grass.

Because of this phenomenon, Han Tao was able to realize that Aud's Ghost King Vine evolved from Blue Silver Grass.

In the early stages of Blue Silver Grass's evolution, the rules of "Special Martial Soul Inheritance Soul Skills" were referenced, and a completely new fulcrum was developed in the second step.

"what?"

Od's voice trembled slightly.

His voice was low and hoarse, yet he successfully conveyed his thoughts.

"This is your martial spirit?"

"Nine-Leaf Blue Silver Emperor, a supreme form, an unparalleled bloodline?"

Han Tao smiled gently.

Sovereigns, emperors, and priests are all in the same core hierarchy, but in terms of authority, the ability to control the will of the tribe is more noble.

"Yes!"

Since it evolved from Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Overlord activated the eight-petaled spiritual bond, gradually gaining a deeper understanding of the evolutionary path of the Ghost King Vine.

Observe, understand, and record.

"The first spirit ring, the Hundred-Year Mandragora Serpent."

"The second spirit ring, a four-hundred-year-old Ghost Vine Serpent."

Fingers tap lightly on the table, producing a crisp "thump-thump" sound.

Han Tao raised his eyes slightly and asked:
"I'm curious, how did you break through the level 30 barrier?"

The leap to level 19 requires the aid of mimicry training and the essence of plants.

As for the level 29 barrier, if one cannot understand the essence of the martial soul and does not have the extra stats of the Lone Bamboo, how can one reach the other side?

Odd hesitated for a long time.

This answer is actually very valuable. Asking directly like Han Tao did was quite inappropriate, but he also longed to learn some of the "Emperor's" theories.
"Don't worry, they can't hear you!"

Hearing Han Tao's explanation, Aud put aside his doubts.

"Um"

"I was able to break through level 30 because I used the sap of the Azure Vine, which caused my martial soul to undergo a transformation."
