The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 115 I'm not a good person, and I speak very bluntly.

"The story of Ah Yin and Tang Hao?" The Blue Silver King's aged face slowly wrinkled.

"Yes, don't you want to hear what your king has been through all these years?" Li Xun was in no hurry.

"Please speak freely."

"This story begins with Tang Hao's encounter with the Blue Silver Emperor," Li Xun immediately launched into a monologue.

He did indeed come for the fifth spirit ring.

However, the Blue Silver King's lifespan is a staggering 85,000 years. To safely absorb such cultivation, he would need to reach at least level 60 or 70 to be absolutely certain of success.

He prepared two plans for this purpose.

First, there was the awakening baptism that the Blue Silver King performed on Tang San. However, Li Xun's martial soul was not Blue Silver Grass, and he only intended to take advantage of this baptism.

Secondly, it was to make the Blue Silver King willingly sacrifice himself.

Sacrifice generally only occurs among 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, because of their immense strength, and secondly, because the intelligence of 100,000-year-old soul beasts is no less than that of humans.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the two conditions mentioned above can actually be combined into one: the soul beast must have cultivated for 100,000 years and gained intelligence before it can be sacrificed.

Of course, the above only applies to general cases; there are many exceptions.

For example, some soul beasts developed intelligence in less than 100,000 years; the Blue Silver King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion are two such examples.

As for whether he could absorb such a cultivation level of 85,000 years, a hint of cruelty flashed in Li Xun's eyes. "No pain, no gain."

He doesn't have a soul beast wife who would sacrifice herself for him, so he has to be ruthless to himself in order to raise his potential.

Through the absorption of several spirit rings of higher levels, the upper limit he can currently withstand should be around 60,000 years.

Although the Blue Silver King's cultivation level is 85,000 years, he is still short of the 100,000-year qualitative change period.

With the combined effects of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the Wood Release's self-healing ability, Li Xun felt he could give it a shot, as long as he didn't die immediately.

"Damn humans, despicable Tang Hao!!"

Two drops of blue liquid slid down the Blue Silver King's aged face like tears: "Instead of living in seclusion in a safe place like our clan's territory, you parade around the human world with a king who hasn't fully transformed into a human. Your intentions are despicable!!"

"You also find Tang Hao's behavior suspicious, right?" Li Xun nodded, observing the Blue Silver King's reaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"If it weren't for the tenacious vitality of our Blue Silver Grass clan, even if our souls didn't dissipate after the sacrifice, we would probably have died in that damp and cold cave."

Blue Silver King looked at Ah Silver gently: "Your Majesty, you have suffered."

Ah Yin seemed to sense something, and its branches and leaves kept shaking.

The Blue Silver King noticed the Blue Silver Emperor's unusual behavior and sighed, "Your Majesty, even as your subject, I must speak frankly. You are foolish!"

Seeing that the time was right, Li Xun released his mental blockade on A Yin: "I've said everything I needed to say, you two can talk about the rest."

Sometimes, when it comes to speaking, it's all about having a preconceived notion.

Once an impression is formed in someone's mind, even if what others say is correct, the listener will still have to weigh it in their mind.

Moreover, he didn't make things up; he was simply stating a fact.

The problem is that the events surrounding Tang Hao are too contradictory; anyone who thinks carefully can find the flaws in them.

Without Li Xun's blockade, Ah Yin slowly released her spiritual power and made contact with the Blue Silver Emperor.

No one knows what Ah Yin said, but the Blue Silver King sighed and became angry at times. In the end, only deep helplessness remained.

"Your Majesty, even I can sense the underlying discord in your past with that Tang Hao. Why are you so stubbornly clinging to your illusions?"

The Blue Silver King sighed, "Human, I have finished speaking with the King. What do you wish to gain from this visit?"

Li Xun, who had been bored to death, was relieved to see that the two plants had finally finished their conversation.

He immediately perked up and looked around at the dense blue silver grass: "I'm here to obtain a soul ring, so why don't you give me an awakening baptism first?"

"I'm afraid I can't do that."

The Blue Silver King remained silent for a long time, a troubled look appearing on his aged face: "I don't sense the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline in you, so this kind of baptism probably won't improve you in the slightest."

"Well, there's no other way then." Li Xun smiled sheepishly, but his words were quite blunt: "Then could you offer yourself as a sacrifice to me?"

He knew, of course, that the baptism required the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, but he just wanted to try it in order to maximize his strength.

"Uh..." The expression on Blue Silver King's aged face froze instantly, and he was speechless for a moment.

It was truly astonished. In its long history, it had never heard such straightforward and unadorned words.

It knew Li Xun had come to obtain a spirit ring. It had also considered that the other party might want to kill it to obtain the spirit ring, but it had never thought of the possibility of a sacrifice.

"Human, do you know that sacrifice requires the soul beast to be willing?" The Blue Silver King's expression gradually became serious.

"Of course I know, that's why I didn't lie to you and just told you why I came."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Li Xun straightened his clothes, becoming unusually serious: "I'm not a good person, and I rarely reveal my true intentions to outsiders. The reason I'm not hiding anything from you today is entirely because your loyalty to the Blue Silver Emperor has moved me."

Blue Silver King fell silent, his aged face momentarily at a loss for what expression to display.

"And don't think the worst of things."

Li Xun looked at the Blue Silver King: "The Blue Silver Emperor survived even after sacrificing himself, despite his greatly diminished strength in human form. Given your current condition, you will certainly be fine as well."

Blue Silver King remained silent.

"Besides, I already thought it through on my way here." Li Xun picked up the Blue Silver Emperor bonsai: "How about I plant you and the Blue Silver Emperor together after your sacrifice?"

"Do you see how she is now? There's a place where you can grow quickly, and you'll grow back in a few years."

After finishing speaking, Li Xun held the Blue Silver Emperor bonsai with a smile on his face, showing no sign of urging him to hurry.

It was quite a while before Blue Silver King's expression changed.

"I didn't really have a choice, did I?" Blue Silver King sighed. "If I chose to self-destruct or commit suicide, you would use the Blue Silver Emperor to force me to submit, wouldn't you?"

"That's right, so I said before that I'm not a good person, didn't I?" Li Xun looked at the Blue Silver King with a smile. "You can sense the strength of the two people behind me, right?"

"Actually, at most I can wait a few more years until I can fully absorb your spirit ring before coming back. It's just that I'm very ambitious, and the achievements I want are not as simple as just being given a title."

Blue Silver King remained silent for a moment, then enveloped Li Xun with a surge of spiritual power.

They noticed something was wrong.

Li Xun gestured to Sword Douluo and the other two not to act rashly, and he himself ignored the mental energy probe around him. He looked at Blue Silver King with a very calm expression.

"At your current age, you're only equivalent to a cub among soul beasts, yet the energy within you is comparable to that of some adult soul beasts that are twenty or thirty thousand years old!"

The Blue Silver King exclaimed in surprise, "Humans are truly blessed by nature. But your current level is not enough to bear my power."

"I have to clarify this: there aren't many people like me among the human race."

Li Xun smiled. "But since I'm here, I'm not looking for a spectacular death. How about it? Want to consider investing in me?"

Seeing that the Blue Silver King hesitated.

Li Xun slowly extended the Blue Silver Emperor bonsai in his hand forward: "I still have some principles. If you offer yourself to me, I can agree to your request. Once I have the ability, I will definitely resurrect you, and along with the Blue Silver Emperor of your clan."

"If one day I am fortunate enough to become a god, you can also ascend to the divine realm with me."
