Passing through the sparse vegetation—
the true face of the Star Dou Great Forest leapt into view.
Dense clusters of trees over twenty meters tall stood packed together. A light breeze brushed past, carrying a faint scent of blood and dampness.Leaves on the branches rustled softly.
Qian Renjue stopped his steps.
Arriving here for the first time, Hu Liena could not help but feel shaken. She looked up toward the sky—her view blocked by layers upon layers of overlapping leaves.
The sudden dimness made her heart tremble, and she instinctively moved closer to Qian Renjue.
"Senior Brother, it's so big here…"
(Little brat, what's big about it? It's always been like this, okay.)The Soft-Boned Rabbit lay on Qian Renjue's shoulder, unable to hide its smugness.
"Heh."
Qian Renjue glanced at the Soft-Boned Rabbit, then lightly chuckled and gently rubbed Hu Liena's slightly curled short hair.
"Nana, don't stray too far from Senior Brother later."
"Mm, Nana understands."
Hu Liena nodded, happily hugging Qian Renjue's arm.
Qian Renjue withdrew his arm and softly admonished her.
"Don't cling too close either. You're not here for a stroll."
"Oh~"
Hu Liena responded dejectedly.
She obediently stood at Qian Renjue's side.
As the Pope's disciple, Hu Liena was naturally not some fragile flower.She merely appeared obedient and delicate in front of Qian Renjue.
In the Spirit Hall Academy—if she acted like this, how could she have subdued others so thoroughly?
"Your Highness, which direction should we go?"
Lingyuan gathered herself. Even at the forest's edge, she did not dare to lower her guard.
"Let's follow it."
Qian Renjue smiled faintly and pointed at the Blue Silver Emperor on the ground, shaped like an octopus.
"It?"
Lingyuan Douluo looked blankly at the grass.
Pu pu!
Meeting Lingyuan's gaze, the Blue Silver Emperor seemed excited, its branches stretching and bouncing.
It circled Qian Renjue twice.
"All right, hurry and see if you can sense your homeland."
Qian Renjue could understand the Blue Silver Emperor's mood.
This Star Dou Great Forest—could be regarded as a gigantic mimicry cultivation ground.
Especially for plant-type soul masters, the environment here was absolutely unrivaled.
Hearing Qian Renjue's words—
the Blue Silver Emperor stopped moving and, without the slightest hesitation, pointed in a certain direction.
As if it had long known where the Blue Silver Forest was.
A trace of surprise flashed through Qian Renjue's eyes.
He made a decisive call.
"Lingyuan-jie, let's head this way. We'll hunt soul rings for Nana along the way."
"Everything as Your Highness decides."
Lingyuan Douluo bent slightly in submission.
She reminded him, "Your Highness, once we go deeper, try not to leave Lingyuan's twenty-meter radius."
"Don't worry, Lingyuan-jie. I know my limits."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
"Let's set off."
"Yes."
Lingyuan nodded and took the lead, moving to the front to clear the way.
Hu Liena walked slightly ahead and to the side of Qian Renjue.
Her gaze swept the surroundings; the coquettish smile on her face had long vanished.
A dagger emitting a cold gleam was gripped in her small hand.
As Qian Renjue and the others advanced—
the Star Dou Great Forest seemed like a giant beast, opening its massive jaws and swallowing them whole.
Without causing even the slightest ripple.
Advancing deeper—
the sky gradually darkened.
The blazing sunlight was blocked by layers of towering trees, creating a stifling oppression.
Qian Renjue activated the Eye of Insight.With a wave of her hand, Lingyuan Douluo released blazing flames, clearing away the thorns ahead.
The soul beast distribution in the Star Dou Great Forest—
progressed vertically from the outer regions inward, with soul beast cultivation growing higher and higher.
The outskirts were mostly hundred-year soul beasts, with thousand-year ones appearing only occasionally.
According to a certain master's research—the upper limit for a fourth soul ring was five thousand years.
But over the years, Hu Liena had continuously consumed whale glue, and two years ago had even taken Autumn Water Condensing Soul Pill.Her physique and mental strength far surpassed those of her peers.
A ten-thousand-year soul ring was within reach.
To save time hunting soul rings—
heading to the mixed zone was their best option.
The mixed zone was a vast region where thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts coexisted.
The journey was uneventful.
Under the Blue Silver Emperor's guidance—
Qian Renjue and the others pushed straight toward the mixed zone.
Along the way, they encountered many hundred-year soul beasts, some in groups, some solitary.
Qian Renjue gave no order to attack.
Instead, he led Lingyuan Douluo and the others around them, continuing forward.
After advancing for about two hours—
with a Title Douluo guarding them, even if soul beasts approached, they immediately retreated.
Not much time was delayed.
They were already not far from the mixed zone.
Qian Renjue halted.
He glanced at Hu Liena, whose pretty face now showed signs of fatigue.
"Lingyuan-jie, night is coming. Let's stop and rest first. We'll enter the mixed zone tomorrow."
"Mm, we'll do as Your Highness says."
Lingyuan Douluo nodded in agreement.
There were quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the mixed zone, and the danger was higher—this was indeed the prudent choice.
Whoosh!Vast Sea Body Shield!
In Qian Renjue's hand, the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover rose into the air.
In the blink of an eye, it ascended to a height of about five meters and rapidly expanded.
Within moments, it had enlarged by over a hundred times.
Blue light flickered as it descended from above, enveloping everyone inside.
The surroundings turned into a blue world—
yet they could still clearly see everything outside.
Like a transparent triangular dome,shielding them within.
"Nana, relax and rest for a bit."
Qian Renjue walked toward a large stone in the center and beckoned to Hu Liena.
"Mm."
Qian Renjue's gentle voiceeased Hu Liena's tightly wound nerves.
She hurried over, wrapped her arms around Qian Renjue's, and leaned against his side.
With a soft smile on her beautiful face,she sat down along with him and rested against his shoulder.
"Thank you, Senior Brother~"
Seeing how quickly Hu Liena changed expressions, Qian Renjue laughed helplessly.
He lifted his gaze toward Lingyuan Douluo.
"Lingyuan-jie, you should rest too. With this shield, there's no need to be so vigilant."
"Yes."
Lingyuan Douluo nodded slightly.
With a wave of her hand, flames swept through, quickly clearing the surroundings.
She lit a campfire,making the area much brighter.
Lingyuan Douluo paced forward, glanced at Qian Renjue, hesitated for a moment—
then still moved over and sat beside him.
"Gu gu!"
(Thank you, Holy Son.)
The Soft-Boned Rabbit hugged the cool yam Qian Renjue handed it, lying on his shoulder and munching away.
The Blue Silver Emperor's branches wrapped around Qian Renjue's calf.
Fulfilling its role as a support—
it used its vitality to massage them, easing fatigue appropriately.
"Senior Brother, what are we doing following this piece of grass?"
Leaning against Qian Renjue's shoulder, Hu Liena couldn't suppress her curiosity.
"It is a spark left behind by a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor."
Qian Renjue chuckled lightly as he handed the pastries in his hand to Lingyuan Douluo.
"I'm taking it home to help it recover its cultivation."
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast?!"
Hu Liena cried out softly, staring at the potted plant before her in astonishment.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit also widened its crimson eyes.
No wonder this grass was so weak—it had even thought earlier that it had mistaken it.
Lingyuan Douluo, however, knew more about the matter.
Frowning with concern, she said, "Your Highness, helping it recover its cultivation—won't that be too risky?"
"Don't worry, it'll behave."
Qian Renjue smiled.
"And it may not necessarily recover to a very high level anyway."
Wishing everyone a happy life!
