Douluo Continent: Tang San has already taken off, and I'm only just arriving.

Chapter 39 Essence of Life
"Xiaochuan..."

Seeing Chen Yichuan's actions, Salas felt a pang of anxiety.

Although he knew that his grandson was mysterious and extraordinary.

But that's a soul beast that's 85,000 years old!

Even if he were alone here today, he wouldn't be able to defeat them.

"Grandpa, don't worry. As long as you have this, I'm confident I can handle anything."

Chen Yichuan pointed to the potted plant.

After hesitating for a moment, Salas finally released Chen Yichuan.

"Blue Silver King, I'd like to talk to you. Could we find a quiet place?"

Chen Yichuan stepped forward, smiling at the other person with his innocent and adorable face.

"Don't resist!"

Blue Silver King made his choice without any hesitation.

The other party's stance was clear: they wanted him to become the old man's soul ring, but he was willing to give up everything in exchange for the throne of his clan.

As the Blue Silver King's vines swayed, a space reserved for only two people was created.

"Human, what do you want?"

Blue Silver King couldn't help but speak first.

"Blue Silver King, do you want to be with your emperor, to take root together, to sprout together, to grow together..."

Chen Yichuan did not answer Lan Yinwang's question, but instead threw out a question to him.

Negotiation is all about taking the lead; naturally, one won't act according to the other party's wishes.

"What should I do?"

Upon hearing Chen Yichuan's words, Blue Silver King immediately thought of that scene.

He couldn't help but get excited just thinking about those things.

This is my dream.

The question is, will the humans in front of me just let me off the hook?
"Your Blue Silver Grass clan possesses a unique ability, doesn't it? It can't be burned out by wildfire, and it will grow back with the spring breeze."

"First, have your clan sacrifice you to try and increase your lifespan, ideally to 100,000 years, and then sacrifice you to my maternal grandfather."

"If you can do these things, I will plant the seeds you left behind together with the Blue Silver Emperor."

Chen Yichuan stated his terms.

"impossible!"

"With my current level of cultivation, I cannot successfully overcome the tribulation. Once I break through to 100,000 years, I will immediately attract a heavenly tribulation. Under the heavenly tribulation, my intelligence will be completely dissipated."

Blue Silver King refused.

He simply couldn't do that.

"Alright, my first condition is that you accept the sacrifices of your tribe and extend your lifespan as much as possible."

Chen Yichuan felt a little regretful.

He was also thinking that he might give it a try and maybe help his grandfather obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.

“I can agree.”

"But you and your grandfather must swear an oath that you will not lay a hand on my people after you succeed."

After some contemplation, the Blue Silver King finally put forward his conditions once again.

Although he longed to be with the emperor, he could not disregard his clan.

"I promise to put you together in exchange for your sacrifice. As for me and my grandfather making an oath, that's a separate condition."

"You have to pay more!"

As Chen Yichuan said this, he couldn't help but twitch a smile, a smile that was particularly wicked.

"Add money?"

Blue Silver King was puzzled.

"It's very simple. By gathering a few dozen drops of life essence from you and your people, we will make a vow."

"In addition, if you swear an oath to your people that you will not appear in the world for twenty years, I may return your emperor."

Chen Yichuan had considered resolving the issue once and for all, but he was worried that the other party wouldn't cooperate.

The most important thing is to prevent Tang San's martial soul from awakening a second time. If he succeeds within twenty years, then there's nothing to worry about regarding Tang San.

As for failure, since we've already failed, why bother with these things?
"A few dozen drops? How is that possible?"

"If we use all the power of Blue Silver Grass, we can only condense five or six drops at most."

Blue Silver King couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard Chen Yichuan's outrageous demands.

The essence of life is comparable to the lifeblood of the dragons to the Blue Silver Grass clan. If the emperor were still alive, the entire clan could still suppress and extract dozens of drops.

The problem is that the current emperor is still young, and his authority is not as great as that of the emperor.

"Then twenty drops!"

Chen Yichuan then negotiated with the other party and finally settled on twelve drops of life essence.

After discussing everything, Chen Yichuan went out and called his grandfather in.

They made vows to each other.

Under the leadership of the Blue Silver King, the Blue Silver Grass clan took the lead in sacrificing themselves.

When the Blue Silver King gave his order, the Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles, nearly a thousand miles away, responded in unison.

Countless soul forces and life forces converged from all directions.

These forces surged into the Blue Silver King's body.

If it weren't for the Emperor's presence, his actions would inevitably provoke resistance from other Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grasses.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

The Blue Silver King's age continues to increase.

Eighty-six thousand years, eighty-seven thousand years, eighty-eight thousand years... ninety-eight thousand years, ninety-nine thousand years...

Ultimately, it remained at 99,999.

Blue Silver King dared not increase his power again.

He could clearly feel the lightning tribulation hanging high above his head, as if it would descend at any moment.

"As agreed, let's begin to gather the essence of life!"

Chen Yichuan was very satisfied with Lan Yinwang's actions.

Although it's not a 100,000-year soul ring, having such a lifespan is already extremely fortunate.

Then, the Blue Silver King began to condense the essence of life.

If making sacrifices of one's own kind was like fleecing someone, now gathering the essence of life is like harvesting leeks.

Treating all the Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts like chives, leaving only the root, they began to harvest them madly.

A rich life force permeates the heavens and earth.

The others who came with him had already begun meditating at Salas's prompting.

For them, this is an opportunity—an opportunity to repair internal injuries, make up for deficiencies, and improve their fundamentals.

How could we miss it?

Chen Yichuan also activated the rudimentary form of his cultivation technique, devouring these powers.

It took three days and three nights to finish.

Everyone who came with them gained a lot, especially the Soul Douluo, who took this opportunity to advance further.

Chen Yichuan easily reached level 29. He felt that in another ten days or half a month, he would be able to break through to level 30.

Even the life attribute within his martial soul solidified somewhat.

Twelve drops of life essence floated in the air, each drop like amber, containing a rich life force.

These life essences are the prototype of the life gold. Although there is still a huge gap, it is still possible to heal injuries and reconnect severed limbs.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yichuan put it into the jade bottle.

Next came the sacrifice.

Since the two sides made the vow, Grandpa has completely relaxed his mind and meditated constantly to put himself in the best possible state.

"Humans, do not forget your oath!"

The Blue Silver King left these words and then began the sacrifice.

The immense power instantly transformed into a rainbow of light, surging into Grandpa Salas's body.
