The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 116 Baptism and Fusion

"Of course, if we both die, then there's nothing more to talk about."

Ah Yin trembled in the potted plant, as if trying to persuade Blue Silver King not to agree.

Li Xun touched the broad, slender leaves and looked at Blue Silver King: "If you still feel that the above suggestions are not enough, I can add one more."

"If I ever manage to become a god, I will certainly take special care of your descendants."

Of course, this refers only to the descendants of the Blue Silver King; Li Xun doesn't care about his ancestors.

silence

A long silence followed.

Blue Silver King seemed to hesitate, until Li Xun finally replied after a long wait: "I can agree to your request. However, if this matter does not come to fruition, you must also guarantee the King's safety."

"And if you don't die after absorbing the spirit ring, you must plant my seed together with the King's seed."

Li Xun was overjoyed and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I value the spirit of contracts very much, and I always keep my word."

He knew that given how much the Blue Silver King valued his clan's kings and descendants, and his selfless nature, he would certainly not refuse his conditions.

Looking at the potted plant in Li Xun's hand, the Blue Silver King's face showed reluctance: "Then I will offer it to you now."

"Wait!" Li Xun quickly reached out to stop him.

"What's wrong?" Blue Silver King asked, puzzled.

Wasn't this the reason he came here? Why isn't he in a hurry now? A soul beast that's nearly 100,000 years old has been sacrificed; who wouldn't want to get their hands on it as soon as possible?

"Would you like to give me a baptism first?"

Li Xun put down the potted plant in his hand, rubbing his hands together somewhat embarrassedly: "From now on, you'll be sharing my fate. For our future, even if the chances are slim, we have to give it a try!"

He knew that without the blessing of the Blue Silver Grass King's bloodline, the chances of being improved by the baptism were slim. But he felt it would be a waste not to try while the Blue Silver King was still around.

This mentality is similar to passing by a place in a game but not collecting all the items to increase your strength.

Another silence followed.

"Alright," Blue Silver King said, and a vast aura rose from the entire forest. Faint blue light emerged from each Blue Silver Grass.

Although these blue lights are weak, when billions of blue lights come together, they are as magnificent and vast as an ocean.

Drawn by the Blue Silver King, the blue ocean, like a whirlpool, instantly swallowed Li Xun.

Both Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo were shocked by this sight.

Dugu Bo could sense that this enormous energy was not malicious, and he couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at Sword Douluo.

"I've never seen it before either." Sword Douluo shook his head. "It doesn't seem dangerous. I'll have to ask Xiao Xun later."

They had expected that Li Xun would bring out the two of them with their titles and that they would be engaged in a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, they had been watching the show for half a day.

Moreover, this play is a pantomime.

Because Li Xun and the Blue Silver King were communicating through mental energy, they could only speculate based on the Blue Silver King's facial expressions and Li Xun's body language.

"It really didn't work?" Li Xun looked at the magnificent scenery around him and felt a little regretful.

However, he still needs to make some final efforts.

Li Xun sat cross-legged, summoning his martial spirit with his right hand. Four spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared one after another.

Gradually, I entered a meditative state.

Through meditation, Li Xun was able to clearly perceive the situation outside.

In his perception, the blue ocean of life force formed by the Blue Silver Grass seemed uninterested in him, swirling around him. Even when he intensified his meditation, he couldn't draw that blue life force towards him.

Blue Silver King seemed to have anticipated this: "You've seen it yourself. I'm not lying to you. This kind of baptism is a unique method of my clan and is useless to others."

"Does it really only recognize bloodlines?" Li Xun opened his eyes, somewhat unwilling: "Let's try again. Even if we can absorb just a little, it will be a gain."

Since meditation was ineffective, Li Xun simply began refining chakra on the spot.

As his meridians circulated, Li Xun suddenly felt an invisible suction force emanating from his martial soul.

"Huh? It was absorbed by my martial soul!"

Realizing this situation, Li Xun quickly intensified his efforts. As long as he could get a share, it didn't matter whether he or the Martial Soul absorbed it.

The Blue Silver King also noticed something amiss, and astonishment appeared on his aged face: "Why is he able to absorb the offerings from his people even though he is not of the Blue Silver royal bloodline?"

Blue Silver King spread his mental energy around Li Xun, beginning to observe every change in him: "His plant-type martial soul seems to be coming back to life."

As the thousand-handed wooden carving in Li Xun's hand gradually turned emerald green, the Blue Silver King murmured.

Li Xun also noticed this situation.

More importantly, as the vitality of his martial soul gradually increased, Li Xun felt that the barrier between chakra and soul power was getting weaker and weaker.

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

This discovery immediately gave Li Xun a jolt of energy, and he quickly cast aside all distracting thoughts, all in order to absorb more of the blue life force.

He had always wanted to fuse his soul power and chakra together, but had been struggling to find a way. Now, he finally saw a possibility, and Li Xun didn't want to miss this opportunity.

As chakra flowed rapidly through the meridians, wisps of soul power were gradually drawn in by this force. As these soul powers traveled alongside the chakra, they were instantly assimilated.

Li Xun noticed the situation and quickly and carefully released the suppression of the soul power, allowing the two forces to merge more quickly.

As time passed, more and more forces were assimilated, and a third force formed within Li Xun's body.

This newly emerged power inherited all the characteristics of soul power and chakra, and also allowed him to sense the attributes contained within the power.

Once this power appeared, it began to assimilate both soul power and chakra. Unlike the other two powers that repel each other, it absorbed all soul power and chakra that were around it.

After an unknown amount of time, the blue ocean gradually dissipated.

Li Xun slowly opened his eyes, looked at the emerald green thousand-hand wood carving in his hand, and smiled. His power had finally been fully integrated.

"Xiao Xun, how are you feeling?" Dugu Bo walked to Li Xun's side.

Li Xun slowly stood up: "Grandpa Dugu, not only am I alright, but I also gained some benefits."

"And this spirit beast?" Dugu Bo pointed at the Blue Silver King: "Are you planning to use it as your fifth spirit ring?"

"Yes." Li Xun looked at Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression. "Didn't I already tell you that I came to see the Blue Silver King?"

"But you didn't tell us that this Blue Silver King's cultivation level is already eighty or ninety thousand years!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened immediately: "Aren't there plenty of soul beasts that have reigned for only ten or twenty thousand years?"

"Haha, I forgot to mention that." Li Xun quickly smiled apologetically, "Grandpa Dugu, please calm down."

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo saw Li Xun's sycophantic behavior and pointed to the Blue Silver King standing beside him: "With its high cultivation level, it could burst you apart in an instant."

Sword Douluo then walked over and said, "Xiao Xun, I know you're eager to gain power, but don't do anything foolish."

"We've already discussed this. Once your cultivation reaches the Soul Saint level, we old guys will all work together to help you hunt for a 100,000-year Soul Ring."

"Let's go. We'll come back for the Blue Silver King when you reach the Soul Emperor level." Sword Douluo patted Li Xun on the shoulder. "You might have a better chance of success then."

"But it already promised to sacrifice itself for me."
