Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 54 Absorbing Soul Bones

Jiang Li didn't expect that even Ah Yin, who was once a 100,000-year-old soul beast, couldn't escape the "it's actually good" phenomenon.

He thought he would have to use a lot of words.

But Ah Yin didn't think that way; her thoughts were quite simple.

That's my current cultivation level, barely a hundred years.

I've figured it out on the way back with Jiang Li.

Even if I wanted to escape, whether I could actually get away is another matter.

He described his current situation in case he managed to escape.

Let alone encountering a Soul Master, what if you accidentally run into a car?

He himself could be seriously injured right now.

It's better to make good use of this environment, at least to give yourself the ability to resist the outside world.

Then he slowly planned his famous escape.

Jiang Li quickly came up with this idea.

After thinking for a moment, he used his abilities to communicate with A-Yin.

"Senior, I can tell you must have been someone extraordinary in the past, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Li could communicate with her, Ah Yin was subconsciously a little confused.

It should be noted that, generally speaking, human soul masters who possess the Blue Silver Grass martial soul do not awaken any soul power.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to become a Soul Master.

Even if you become a Soul Master, unless your level or bloodline is exceptionally strong, you will not be able to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass.

However, in this era, he is the only Blue Silver Emperor, and he and his brother Hao have had a child together.

Logically speaking, only one's own children should have this ability.

This made Ah Yin overjoyed, but after sensing that Jiang Li did not have her own bloodline, she realized that...

He then became dejected again.

Indeed, if Jiang Li really is his child.

Then Tang Hao should bring him to her and they should recognize each other.

How could they possibly abduct me?

So, in response to Jiang Li's words, Ah Yin simply manipulated her leaf blades and nodded, which was considered an admission of his opinion.

Seeing that Ah Yin was willing to communicate with him, Jiang Li's eyes darted around again, and then he began his own speech.

"Senior, I was able to reach this point with my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul mainly because of some fortuitous encounters. I entered because I sensed something that particularly attracted my bloodline inside that cave, and I never expected to meet you there. The cave was dark and gloomy, and as a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, I naturally didn't want to see you suffer in there, so I went there after you brought me here."

At first, Ah Yin didn't react much to what was said.

She even felt a bit of resentment towards Jiang Li.

Of course, she knew what that so-called opportunity meant.

Isn't it just referring to the Blue Silver Emperor 100,000-year-old soul bone that he sacrificed and was born from?

Moreover, since she's already blinded and in the other party's hands, her current cultivation level doesn't even qualify her to negotiate with them.

So she remained silent, but she heard what came next.

Ah Yin also sensed something was amiss, because Jiang Li was telling the truth.

Let alone Blue Silver Grass, there are very few plants in the entire Douluo Continent that do not require sunlight.

So why did his brother Hao put him in that dark and sunless cave?

For a moment, Ah Yin couldn't help but start to doubt the other party.

But Ah Yin, true to her love-obsessed nature, quickly suppressed her doubts and then couldn't help but CTV herself.

It must have been an accident on Hao's part, or he was trying to avoid being discovered!

But Jiang Li's seemingly unintentional words next did indeed reignite A Yin's suspicions about Tang Hao.

"It's quite a coincidence, isn't it? Judging from the moss that first appeared when we entered that place, you must have been trapped there for many years. I just wonder how strong the people who imprisoned you were?"

It was Jiang Li's words, which he pretended to be talking to himself.

But this completely broke Ah Yin's defenses.

Since the birth of Tang San, Tang Hao had placed Ah Yin in that cave and hadn't visited her once in six years, let alone brought her child to reunite with her.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But a more chilling fact is...

Ah Yin knew that after she sacrificed herself to Tang Hao...

The opponent's strength has already reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Logically speaking, even setting aside himself, that 100,000-year-old soul bone was at least something that Tang Hao should take good care of.

But he has been missing for three whole days, and Tang Hao still hasn't found this place.

This only increased Ah Yin's suspicions about Tang Hao.

As Ah Yin knew, Jiang Li's current cultivation level was at most that of a Soul Venerable.

Logically speaking, entering that place should have left some clues.

With Tang Hao's cultivation level, he should be able to mobilize at least a considerable number of people, right?

So why haven't you found yourself yet?

If this doubt was initially suppressed by all emotions, it is not so easy to suppress it once it resurfaces.

Jiang Li was well aware of this as well, and after seeing Ah Yin fall into silence.

He showed no outward reaction, but inwardly he couldn't help but sneer, judging from the little tricks he had left behind.

Tang Hao would undoubtedly vent his anger on the spot and then completely destroy Jiang Li's flawless defenses.

As for the so-called grain merchant title he left behind in Holy Soul Village...

Jiang Li also devised a countermeasure.

That is, he actually managed to buy a lot of food using the gold soul coins he carried.

Then, to prevent Tang Hao from investigating, Jiang Li did something even more extreme: he used a portrait of a person who had already died as his identity.

With such a scheme, even if Tang Hao possessed extraordinary abilities, he might not be able to trace it back to him.

Not to mention that Tang Hao is just a brainless individual.

Then, in front of Ah Yin, Jiang Li took out the soul bone that once belonged to him and began to absorb it gradually.

After all, this stuff only becomes his own once he absorbs it; carrying it around all the time isn't his style.

On the other side, Ah Yin was preoccupied with whether Tang Hao had abandoned her, so she didn't care that her family was absorbing the 100,000-year-old soul bone right in front of her.

When Jiang Li began to absorb this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, he was immediately stunned by the immense energy within it.

Because of his martial spirit and this soul bone, Jiang Li's body was immediately surrounded by a layer of azure light, and almost all the blue silver grass around him knelt down involuntarily.

Jiang Li was naturally unaware of all this.

He felt that he was not able to adapt to this powerful energy for the time being, so he quickly activated the Yin-Yang Technique.

This immense power circulates continuously within the body, with a portion flowing into one's meridians with each flow.

This is why Jiang Li didn't cause any trouble while absorbing the soul bone.

For seven whole days, Jiang Li was absorbing the soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

From feeling a bit overconfident at the beginning to being completely at ease in the end, Jiang Li only spent less than five days.

Meanwhile, Ah Yin, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she saw the aura on Jiang Li that was close to that of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Logically speaking, after one's death, only one's own descendants can reach this level.

But Jiang Li clearly has nothing to do with me, so why did he achieve this?

As Jiang Li gradually absorbed the soul bone, the azure aura that initially surrounded his body gradually dimmed.

Seeing this, A-Yin's heart sank.

At this moment, she also knew that Jiang Li had absorbed all the vast soul power within the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

Right now, she only had one thought: to pray that Jiang Li would not absorb the original power that originally belonged to her.

Otherwise, given Jiang Li's current martial spirit strength, once he absorbs his own source power...

Then her offspring will never be able to awaken the power belonging to the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan in this lifetime.

But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen.

Just as Jiang Li absorbed all the soul power from the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone, he sensed that the strength of his martial soul bloodline was still slightly inferior to that of Ah Yin beside him. He felt as if he hadn't reached the level of the Blue Silver Emperor in any way.

This made Jiang Li subconsciously feel that something was wrong. Logically speaking, with the strength of his martial soul, absorbing this soul bone should have given him a chance to advance to the Blue Silver Emperor.

Jiang Li vaguely sensed that Ah Yin seemed to be feeling nervous.

This prompted Jiang Li to examine the soul bone again, but unexpectedly, this examination brought him a pleasant surprise…
