The Blue Silver King's face, formed by countless intertwined vines, gazed at Tang San as if scrutinizing him.
After a long while, the Blue Silver King spoke, "Your Highness, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but rather that the Origin within your body is too impure."
"Within the Blue Silver Origin in your body, I sense many Origins that do not belong to the Blue Silver Grass. They are very mixed. This is not something you can easily remedy by absorbing the Origin of your subjects. Even His Majesty the Blue Silver Emperor would not agree to your methods."
"Your Highness, perhaps you should seek out His Majesty. If His Majesty were to act, perhaps he could help you resolve the issue with the Origin in your body."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression immediately stiffened. He hadn't expected the Blue Silver King to refuse so bluntly, which sparked a hint of displeasure in his heart.
However, remembering that the Blue Silver King before him was a Spirit Beast over 50,000 years old, Tang San dared not show any disrespect. He could only try again, hoping it would change its mind.
"SeniorBlue Silver King, Junior naturally also wants to ask Mother for help, but Mother's whereabouts are a mystery, and I don't know where she is going. If Senior knows, you can also tell Junior."
The Blue Silver King said, "I also don't know His Majesty's exact location, only that she seems to be in the distant west. You can only search for her yourself."
Tang San wanted to curse in his heart. If the Blue Silver King had told him his mother's exact location, he might have grudgingly accepted it.
But only knowing it was the west, how was he supposed to find her?
He could only continue respectfully, "SeniorBlue Silver King, even you cannot determine my mother's location. If I were to go look for her, I don't know how long it would take. Why don't you let me borrow some of the LifeOrigin of a few Blue Silver Grass plants?"
"Please rest assured, I only need a portion of their LifeOrigin, and will never harm their lives."
Seeing this, the Blue Silver King finally hesitated.
After a moment, the Blue Silver King said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, we are all subjects of His Majesty, and naturally, we are willing to help Your Highness now."
Hearing this, the joy on Tang San's face was instantly undisguised, and his clenched fists relaxed.
"Excellent!"
"Then, SeniorBlue Silver King, Junior will make his move!"
With that, countless purplish-black Blue Silver Grass emerged from beneath his feet, and eight purplish-black spider legs sprang from his back, then aimed at a Blue Silver Grass plant over five thousand years old near the Blue Silver King and stabbed into it.
At the same time, the Devouring Power on the Eight Spider Lances erupted, violently devouring the Life energy within that Blue Silver Grass.
As the Life energy surged into Tang San's body, an expression of enjoyment immediately appeared on his face.
However, just as Tang San was engrossed in devouring the Blue Silver GrassOrigin, an angry voice suddenly boomed through the forest.
"Stop it quickly!!"
This thunderous roar instantly shook Tang San's body back several steps, pulling him out of his devouring state.
Tang San looked at the Blue Silver King in confusion. He was enjoying the absorption, but was suddenly interrupted by the Blue Silver King, making him feel a bit annoyed.
However, the Blue Silver King said unceremoniously, "No wonder the Origin in your body is so mixed. It turns out you used such evil methods. The Spirit Beasts that have died by your hands because of this are probably not few, right?"
"I wondered why your aura made me feel uncomfortable; it turns out the root cause is this external Spirit Bone of yours. If I'm not mistaken, your first few spirit rings should have been absorbed from a Man Faced Demon Spider, right?"
"Although I don't know why you thought of absorbing a Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring, nor whether doing so is good or bad, your method is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse, abandoning the Blue Silver Grass's greatest advantage."
Tang San's face immediately darkened, but he still explained in a deep voice, "Senior, you may not know, but the Blue Silver Grass Martial SoulCultivates too slowly. Junior had no choice but to use this ability. However, please rest assured, Senior, Junior has only killed vicious Spirit Beasts and has never harmed a good one."
The Blue Silver King said indifferently, "But do you know that your Martial Soul is not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass? You possess His Majesty's Bloodline, and even without a secondary Awakening, your cultivation speed wouldn't be slow."
"If I'm not mistaken, your cultivation speed only slowed down after you absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression grew even gloomier.
He couldn't help but recall that back at Nuoding Academy, his cultivation speed was indeed not slow. Although he couldn't compare to Xiao Wu, he was far superior to Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu, and the others.
Even after graduating from Nuoding Academy and going to Shrek Academy, his cultivation speed was not slower than Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others.
This all indicated that although his Innate Full Spirit Power was related to Mysterious Heaven Skill, his inherent Foundation was not bad, so his cultivation speed was not inferior to that of an InnateRank 9 Genius.
However, as he successively absorbed Man Faced Demon Spiderspirit rings for his second and third spirit rings, his cultivation speed also slowed down.
Initially, he had always thought that this phenomenon occurred because Blue Silver Grass was a trash spirit, and thus, the later the stage of cultivation, the slower it became.
But now it seemed that was not the case.
After absorbing his fourth spirit ring, his cultivation speed plummeted even further, making him once want to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, but Yu Xiaogang's guidance dissuaded him from that idea.
However, repeatedly absorbing Man Faced Demon Spiderspirit rings, coupled with taking the Tang Sect secret medicine back then, although he had neutralized many of the secret medicine's side effects, it still had a certain impact on his Foundation.
Furthermore, he was severely injured by Yang Yuan during the Soul Master Tournament, with all his bones broken and his Meridians inevitably damaged.
It was precisely the superposition of these many factors that caused Tang San's cultivation speed to fall from the clouds to the bottom, and even led him down the path of devouring.
At this moment, the Blue Silver King's heavy sigh sounded.
"Perhaps you were forced onto this path, but for you, it is truly a road of no return. If I'm not mistaken, your devouring of your subjects' Life energy is not for repairing your Foundation at all, but for your own selfish desires!"
"Although the energy gained through devouring can help you rapidly increase your strength, from now on, you will only be able to devour everywhere, all the way to the end."
Tang San remained silent because the Blue Silver King had said it all correctly.
The consequence of continuously using the Eight Spider Lances' devouring energy was that from then on, it would be difficult for him to Breakthrough in Rank through cultivation.
Previously, he could increase two Ranks after a year of arduous cultivation. Now, let alone two Ranks, even increasing one Rank was difficult.
Of course, he didn't need to Cultivate now.
Devouring evil Spirit Masters was much faster than Cultivating.
He even felt that as long as he absorbed his fifth spirit ring, his Spirit power Rank could directly soar to Rank fifty-five or fifty-six.
This cultivation speed was something he had never dared to imagine before.
And the Blue Silver King continued to speak.
"You should leave. Although you possess His Majesty's Bloodline, I will not stand by and watch my subjects have their LifeOrigin devoured by you through such evil methods."
Tang San clenched his back teeth tightly, his eyes cast down.
Facing the Blue Silver King's directness, he did not continue to plead or explain.
After a long silence, he finally said in a calm tone, "Since that is the case, then Junior will not disturb you."
With that, Tang San cupped his hands and decisively took his leave.
It wasn't until he left the Blue Silver Forest's boundaries that Tang San's calm face was instantly replaced by gloom.
Especially when he thought of his subservient pleas to the Blue Silver King, only to be mercilessly rejected and even driven out of the Blue Silver Forest.
Tang San's heart was filled with rage.
One must know, his mother was the Blue Silver Emperor.
What was the difference between the Blue Silver King's actions and expelling the Crown Prince?
It was simply courting death!
He turned and gazed in the direction of the Blue Silver Forest, muttering:
"I will be back!"
One day, sooner or later, he would return to the Blue Silver Forest and eliminate all these rebellious traitors.
