Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Simulating Godhood

On the three wooden shelves in the middle were more than ten soul tools of various shapes and sizes, including armor, weapons, and auxiliary pendants. Each one emitted a faint fluctuation of soul power and was of a high grade.

On the far right stone platform, three soul bones emitting a faint glow were prominently displayed. Upon closer inspection, two were purple, a left arm bone and a right leg bone, dating back approximately a thousand years. The one in the very center, entirely black, radiated a far more concentrated soul power than the other two—a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!

Your heart pounded, and you reached out to touch the smooth surface of the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, feeling the immense energy contained within. A smile involuntarily crept onto your lips.

You take a deep breath, suppressing the urge to absorb everything immediately, and begin to take stock of all the gains in this stone chamber. This taking stock takes you almost half an hour.

[There are a total of forty-seven kinds of spiritual herbs, medicines, and pills, three of which are over five thousand years old, and two that are even close to eight thousand years old. There are also sixteen soul tools, including several of each type: defensive, offensive, and supportive. In addition, there are the three soul bones. All the accumulation of Zhao Wu, a seventh-ring Soul Saint, over his entire life is now yours.]

You sat in the center of the stone chamber, looking around, and the smile on your lips could no longer be suppressed.

[You didn't rush to leave, but decided to seclude yourself on this isolated island for a while, at least to absorb that ten-thousand-year-old soul bone and refine your physical body. You had a feeling that once you left this island and returned to the mainland, what awaited you would not be the peaceful scene before.]

The Sims continues...

.....

Zhang Liang's heart pounded as he watched the words constantly appearing in front of him.

"Three soul bones? Two thousand-year-old and one ten-thousand-year-old? And more than forty spiritual herbs and sixteen soul tools?"

"Just how many treasures did Zhao Wu plunder in his lifetime...?"

"But then again, I was quite cautious in this simulation. I spent a month learning how to sail before setting sail and prepared so many supplies."

"If I were to visit Hanhai City in real life... well, I'll see when the time comes."

He licked his lips and continued reading.

.....

The simulation is still ongoing.

You sit cross-legged in the center of the stone chamber, your gaze fixed on the purplish-red, ten-thousand-year-old soul bone at the very center. You take a deep breath, pick it up, place it against your right arm, close your eyes, and begin to guide your soul power to merge with the soul bone.

The absorption process of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is far more painful than that of a thousand-year-old soul ring. A violent energy surged into your body through your right arm, like thousands of steel needles simultaneously piercing your meridians. You gritted your teeth, veins bulged on your forehead, and sweat rolled down your cheeks, but you knew this was the price you had to pay, and you didn't utter a single groan.

Time passed slowly, and after a full three hours, the violent energy finally subsided, transforming into a gentle, warm current that flowed into your limbs and bones. You slowly opened your eyes and looked down at your right arm, where a faint purple line appeared on its surface before disappearing again.

[Your soul power level has broken through from level 33 to level 36!]

[With a thought, the skill information of this ten-thousand-year-old right arm soul bone appeared in your mind. It was a powerful offensive skill called Breaking Army Strike, which could instantly concentrate all the soul power in the body into the right arm to deliver a heavy blow far exceeding one's own level. The cooldown time was relatively long, but its power was enough to threaten even Soul King level experts.]

You nodded in satisfaction, and without pausing, picked up the two thousand-year-old soul bones—one a left arm bone and the other a right leg bone—and began absorbing them one by one. The thousand-year-old energy was much gentler, and you absorbed it all in just over an hour. Your soul power also broke through to level thirty-eight, and you gained two thousand-year-old soul bone skills.

[The left arm bone grants you Swift Step, which greatly increases movement speed for a short period, making it suitable for chasing or retreating.]

[Your right leg soul bone grants you Iron Wall, which automatically generates a protective soul power barrier when attacked, providing considerable defense.]

[With the three soul bones fully absorbed, you felt the abundant power within your body, a satisfied smile playing on your lips. You stood up, stretched your limbs, and after confirming that there were no hidden dangers left in your body, you turned and walked out of the stone chamber.]

You arrive at a rocky clearing on a deserted island and begin testing your three newly acquired Soul Bone skills one by one. First, you activate the Breaking Army Strike, your right arm suddenly erupting with dazzling purple light. You punch a boulder, easily two people tall, in front of you. With a deafening roar, the boulder shatters, turning into countless fragments that scatter in all directions. Looking at your fist, you are deeply shocked; the power of this punch far exceeds your current normal level of thirty-eight.

[Then you tried the Swift Wind Step, your feet creating a gust of wind, your figure instantly covering more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in distance. The speed was so fast that even you were caught off guard. The defensive effect of the Iron Wall was also quite excellent. You let a Blue Silver Grass vine lash out at you with all its might, and just as it was about to touch your body, a layer of pale golden barrier automatically appeared, completely blocking the attack.]

[Each of your three skills has its own strengths, combining offense, defense, and speed, resulting in a qualitative leap in your overall combat power. Your gratitude towards Zhao Wu has deepened even further; this Soul Saint senior, whom you've never met, is truly a benefactor in your life.]

After completing the test, you began exploring the island, searching for a suitable place for long-term cultivation. You traversed mountains and valleys, finally discovering a naturally formed depression on the mountainside of a small hill in the center of the island. It was surrounded on three sides by rock walls, offering a wide view of the distant sea.

[What's most wonderful is that many spiritual herbs and medicines grow around this depression, and the air is filled with rich spiritual energy. It's clearly a natural gathering place of spiritual energy. You crouch down, grab a handful of soil, sniff it, and look around to make sure there are no other signs of other soul beasts. Then you make your decision.]

[You spent three days using locally sourced materials, including Blue Silver Grass vines and timber felled from the island, to build a simple but sturdy wooden hut. You also cultivated a small medicinal garden in front of the hut, planting the seeds of spiritual herbs and medicines you brought from the stone chamber and watering them one by one with a secret medicinal liquid, allowing them to take root and sprout in the new soil.]

Standing before the wooden cabin, gazing at this small world that belonged to you, you exhaled a long breath, a sense of peace washing over you. You murmured to yourself, "I'll cultivate here properly. I'll consider leaving only when I break through to level forty."

[In the days that followed, you lived a secluded life almost entirely isolated from the world. Every morning, you rose with the first rays of sunlight to cultivate and absorb the purple energy from the east. During the day, you took spiritual medicines and pills to aid your meditation. In the evening, you used your life force to rejuvenate and tend to your herb garden. At night, you continued to hone your soul power under the starlight. Although the days were monotonous, you could clearly feel yourself growing stronger every day.]
