When the Dream Flower Spirit died, its pollen and fragrance completely lost their effect. The soul beasts that had fallen asleep gradually woke up, according to their strength.
Yet some of them squinted their eyes, seeming neither fully asleep nor fully awake, as if still somewhat captivated. This showed just how intoxicating the Dream Flower Spirit's illusion had been.
Dugu Bo stomped his foot, releasing a fierce aura. The soul beasts fully awakened, roaring in various ways as if threatening him, and then turned and fled.
In the presence of a Titled Douluo, an existence as powerful as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, they did not dare to linger.
Soon, the place was empty, completely deserted.
Dugu Bo glanced at Wang Li, sighed, and said,
"You really did it. Hunting down a soul beast approaching thirty thousand years old all by yourself… your strength now rivals that of a Soul Emperor, only slightly weaker than a Soul Saint using the true form of their martial soul. Xiao Li, you really want to absorb this soul ring. The risks involved are not something that can be explained in a few words!"
At this moment, Wang Li's swelling had already begun to subside. Hearing this, he spoke confidently,
"Grandfather, as I said before, if I can hunt it, I can absorb it. I'll just take a moment to recuperate and restore myself to my best state."
Wang Li fully expanded his domain. Within a range of several hundred to even over a thousand meters, all the Blue Silver Grass became his loyal followers, contributing their energy to speed up his recovery.
A faint blue airflow surrounded him, visible to the naked eye. With every breath, it entered his body, replenishing his energy.
Before long, combining his two martial soul talents, Wang Li had almost fully recovered to his peak. After moving slightly, he turned to Dugu Bo and said,
"Grandfather, I'll start absorbing the soul ring now. It may take some time. I'll rely on you to handle any protection matters."
Dugu Bo, not a man of hesitation, saw Wang Li's determination and did not try to persuade him further. Instead, he said,
"I won't let anyone disturb you, but during the absorption process, I can't help. You'll have to rely on yourself."
Wang Li nodded, said no more, and approached the soul ring. He sat cross-legged and began the absorption.
The deep black soul ring slowly floated to Wang Li when summoned, wrapping around his martial soul and merging directly into it.
Instantly, an overwhelming surge of soul power erupted. This was the soul ring of a soul beast nearly thirty thousand years old, one that even sixty-level quasi-Soul Emperors would not dare to attempt lightly.
Even though Wang Li was prepared, he was still startled. The enormous soul power filled his meridians, completely saturating them without leaving a single gap.
It was uncomfortable,extremely uncomfortable. But having decided to absorb this nearly thirty-thousand-year soul ring, Wang Li had no intention of giving up.
He circulated his cultivation method and mobilized his soul power. His skin, muscles, bones, and meridians glowed faintly golden, forming a bridge that unified all his strength to restrain the vast soul power, preventing it from running wild.
Gradually, Wang Li began to carefully channel the immense soul power, circulating it within his body and slowly taming it.
With a good start, he could complete the absorption as long as he spent enough time.
However, soul rings over ten thousand years old retain the soul beast's residual consciousness. As a plant-type soul beast with spiritual attributes, the Dream Flower Spirit did not attack Wang Li's mind directly.
Instead, it hid within the soul ring, silently exerting a strange force, pulling Wang Li's consciousness into a dreamlike realm. He was completely unaware.
He only felt that the absorption process was going smoothly, hastening his cultivation to finish faster.
Strangely, the more earnestly he focused on something, the more he seemed to forget it. The more he concentrated on circulating his cultivation, the more he forgot that he was circulating it.
He felt as if he should be doing something, but could not remember what. His mind drifted, seemingly without anchor.
In reality, if he stopped circulating his cultivation, the continuous release of vast soul power from the ring would damage his body, and he would be powerless to stop it.
At this moment, calls came,his subjects, using the Blue Silver Domain as a medium, transmitted their calls directly to his mind.
In an instant, Wang Li's consciousness was shaken violently.
"I underestimated you!"
Immediately, Wang Li reestablished contact with reality, quickly regained control of his body, circulated his cultivation, mobilized his soul power, and continued absorbing and refining the soul ring.
Minute by minute passed. Suddenly:
"Roar!"
With a piercing cry, the residual consciousness of the Dream Flower Spirit finally dissipated, and Wang Li fully regained control of his body.
The absorption of the soul ring neared completion. With the Dream Flower Spirit's interference gone, the soul ring was completely tamed.
Wang Li sat cross-legged, his Blue Silver King martial soul in front of him. It was no longer disguised,thick, upright, crystal-clear, with one red and one blue stripe. Even when restrained, it exuded a fierce aura.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black,the final black soul ring now rotated around his body like the previous four.
Opening his eyes, Wang Li exhaled. The absorption was complete. He checked his panel:
[Host: Wang Li]

[Soul Power: Level 54 (12%)+]
[Attribute: Vitality Lv6 (As a once-in-ten-thousand Blue Silver Grass King, the Blue Silver King has immense life force, a powerful body, terrifying strength, and rapid recovery)]

[Soul Rings: First Soul Ring (equipped), Second Soul Ring (equipped), Third Soul Ring (equipped), Fourth Soul Ring (equipped), Fifth Soul Ring (equipped)]

Wang Li thought to himself,
"Level 54 soul power is the result of pushing my limits to absorb soul rings and my recent cultivation. Not bad,it wasn't wasted effort."
"And now the Blue Silver Domain is level two. That makes sense. My spirit was also tempered during the absorption, greatly enhanced. This was all thanks to the Blue Silver Domain and all the Blue Silver Grass. Without them, my spirit might have been exiled, gradually dissipating into the world."
