Sunset Forest!
Wang Li, who Tang San already considered his greatest rival, had now traversed most of the Sunset Forest. His expression was calm, and a gentle smile played on his lips.
His domain was now fully expanded, able to cover a radius of several kilometers. Not only had his spiritual power greatly increased, but more and more blue silver grass willingly submitted to his command, actively contributing their strength. Maintaining the domain now consumed him virtually nothing.
It was like a snowball rolling downhill: as his subjects grew, his control over the blue silver grass became increasingly absolute.
At this rate, it would not take long before he became the undisputed king of all blue silver grass in the Sunset Forest.
The only regret was that he had yet to find a suitable plant-type spirit beast for his fifth spirit ring. His expectations for this fifth ring were very high.
Ideally, it should have some effect on Soul Douluo or even Spirit Douluo-level warriors to enhance his own defensive capabilities.
This greatly limited the types of spirit beasts he could choose. Moreover, his fifth spirit ring could not be limited to a mere ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
As the Blue Silver King spirit, with his Blue Silver Domain awakened and after consuming multiple immortal herbs and surviving life-and-death trials, his fifth spirit ring would conservatively need to come from a spirit beast over twenty-five thousand years old.
The reasons were twofold: one, to obtain a powerful soul skill; two, to gain more life essence.
So this matter could not be rushed…
"Hm?!"
Wang Li's senses suddenly caught an extraordinary scene: an eight- or nine-thousand-year-old Moonlight Deer, a five- or six-thousand-year-old Bone-faced Demon Wolf, and a group of other spirit beasts ranging from a few hundred to several thousand years old,all were asleep in the same place.
They still had life force and were not dead, but no matter what, they would not wake.
Curious, Wang Li peered deeper into the group from the perspective of the blue silver grass. Eventually, he saw a flower.
The flower had seven colors, dazzling and vibrant. It swayed as if it were the most beautiful sight in the world.
Wang Li was astonished:
"A Dreamflower Spirit? Sunset Forest actually has a plant-type spirit beast like this?!"
The Dreamflower Spirit was an extremely rare plant-type spirit beast. Its attack power was not strong, but its fragrance could cause humans or spirit beasts to fall into illusions.
These illusions evoked the deepest desires and most beautiful longings in the mind. Once trapped, beings rarely wanted to awaken.
This type of plant spirit beast was very difficult to find. Approaching it meant inevitably succumbing to its fragrance, dreaming until death. Avoiding it made discovery nearly impossible.
But now, with the Blue Silver Domain and the aid of countless blue silver grasses, Wang Li unexpectedly discovered a Dreamflower Spirit.
Wang Li's heart leapt with joy. The Dreamflower Spirit's hypnotic ability could affect anyone, regardless of level.
Even Soul Douluo and Spirit Douluo-level warriors harbored longings in their hearts; no one in the world was entirely without desire.
If it could make even such high-level opponents fall into a brief illusion, Wang Li could easily escape and, when facing soul masters of equal rank, gain a significant advantage.
Thinking this through, Wang Li immediately checked the Dreamflower Spirit's age. Judging by its color and size, it was at least twenty-five thousand years old, perhaps approaching thirty thousand.
Exactly what he needed.
The only difficulty was that Dreamflower Spirits were hard to approach, not easy to hunt, and carried a mental attribute, making absorption of its spirit ring particularly troublesome.
But such a rare spirit beast had already been found by him. Could he give up? Absolutely not. Wang Li first confirmed its location, then gave the Dreamflower Spirit one long, intent glance before turning to leave.
…
The Ice-Fire Twin Eyes!
Wang Li found his grandfather, Dugu Bo, in seclusion and spoke with a light smile:
"Grandfather, I've found the spirit beast I need for my fifth spirit ring, but it seems a bit tricky. I'd like you to come and support me. I want to try hunting it on my own."
Dugu Bo's curiosity was piqued. Wang Li always chose rare and powerful spirit beasts.
"What spirit beast? How old?"
Wang Li answered seriously:
"A Dreamflower Spirit, at least twenty-five thousand years old. It grows in the western Sunset Forest, near the Golden Iron Mountains."
Dugu Bo frowned and immediately scolded him:
"Xiao Li, the Dreamflower Spirit is a mental-attribute plant spirit beast. And as you know, it's over twenty-five thousand years old. How dare you even think of hunting it?"
"Spirit beasts over ten thousand years old possess terrifying residual resentment after death. Even a normal soul master at level fifty must prepare extensively to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. And you dare to hunt one over twenty-five thousand years old?"
Wang Li knew his grandfather meant well, but he smiled lightly and replied earnestly:
"Grandfather, a normal soul master must indeed prepare carefully. But I am no normal soul master. I've consumed so many immortal herbs from the Ice-Fire Twin Eyes, I have a domain, and my mental power exceeds that of a Soul King."
"Furthermore, wherever there is blue silver grass, I can use their power to suppress the residual resentment of this Dreamflower Spirit. I will definitely be fine."
Seeing Wang Li's determination, Dugu Bo hesitated. This was a plant spirit beast over twenty-five thousand years old with a mental attribute, after all.
Wang Li continued:
"Grandfather, you just need to protect me. I'll hunt it myself. If I have the power to kill it, then I can absorb its spirit ring."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo finally agreed to let him try. For a spirit beast over twenty-five thousand years old, he didn't believe Wang Li, a level fifty quasi-Soul King, could actually kill it.
"Very well. Let's go. Spirit beasts under ten thousand years and over ten thousand years are entirely different. You must be mentally prepared."
Wang Li was delighted. This was the perfect opportunity to test the limits of his strength.
"Understood, Grandfather! I'll be careful!"
Soon, Dugu Bo and Wang Li stepped out of the Ice-Fire Twin Eyes' training ground.
Curious, Dugu Yan asked:
"Grandfather, Xiao Li, where are you going?"
Dugu Bo hesitated, but Wang Li calmly said:
"Yan Yan, Grandfather and I are going out for a while to hunt the spirit beast I need for my fifth spirit ring. Don't worry,we'll be back soon."
There was no need to overexplain; telling her more would only cause unnecessary worry.
Dugu Yan did not question further and only reminded them:
"Then come back early."
Seeing this, Dugu Bo said no more and, taking Wang Li, ascended into the air.
