Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

As Yan spoke, he waved his hand, ignoring the Blue Silver Emperor's swaying grass and its protests, and rolled up the entire small mound before leaving the waterfall chamber without a second thought.

Just as his figure disappeared behind the waterfall, a surge of soul power crashed down behind him, causing the waterfall to tremble slightly before the entire stone chamber collapsed.

Yan's figure soared into the air, and the scenery below rapidly changed. Around dusk, he slowly came to a stop. Below was a large forest, which on the surface did not seem much different from the Star Dou Forest, as it was also full of life and the aura of soul beasts.

However, this vast forest differs from the Starry Sky Forest in many ways, including its size and climate. The Starry Sky Forest is a tropical rainforest, while this area is dominated by plants adapted to the colder, northern climate. The only similarity is the abundance of Blue Silver Grass covering the entire forest.

After pausing for a moment, Yan flew all the way to a small hill in the center of the forest. Here, ice-blue and crimson light flowed, and countless plants grew vigorously around a spring.

"This is the Blue Silver Emperor? Even after being sacrificed, it still didn't die completely. It's truly amazing."

As soon as Yan landed, a large golden cat came to his side. Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, it couldn't help but stretch out its paw. "Didn't you say before that the two people who are closely related to this Blue Silver Emperor have a grudge against you?"

Why do you still choose to help it? Aren't you afraid it will come back to cause trouble for you after it transforms back into human form?

"It's unknown how long it will take for her to regain her human form. By the time she's resurrected, everything will be over. Even if she does choose to take revenge on me, at worst I can erase her consciousness and let her reincarnate, allowing the Douluo Continent to be reborn as a Blue Silver Emperor."

Yan casually said these words, and then threw the small mound containing the Blue Silver Emperor next to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. As it took root again, the Blue Silver Emperor immediately regained its vitality. Golden threads shimmered between the swaying grass leaves, and a few strands of blue light added a touch of life.

Chapter 393 100,000-Year-Old Right Leg Bone

Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.

After calming the Blue Silver Emperor with a little of her own soul power, Qiu'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, looked at Yan and asked, "You're already level 80. Shall we try to acquire the next soul ring?"

"Ah."

Yan nodded, glancing at the fiery red side of the spring. The crimson water resembled translucent red crystal, crystal clear yet unfathomably deep. "Is the dragon egg in the spring still not moving?"

"Its existence seems to have awakened the dragon ancestors deep within this spring, and I can feel its origin growing stronger."

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head and continued, "But don't worry, the bond between you and it has already been established. The contract was formed before it was born, and it will inevitably become your soul."

Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry for this, it's just that this dragon egg has been stuck for so long and I have some doubts."

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stretched out its claws and pointed around, suggesting, "The true dragon inside the dragon egg still needs time, but there are still quite a few immortal herbs around this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Why don't you find another suitable one to try forming a contract with?"

"The Fiery Apricot Blossom is probably the most suitable fire-attribute immortal herb for me; the others are probably just a bit lacking."

Although Yan said this, he still walked to the Yang side of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Many spiritual herbs with Yang attributes grow in this area, including many immortal spiritual herbs.

"Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, unfortunately I don't have the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, which is a bit troublesome."

Yan finally stopped in front of a rather strange plant. It was a bright red herb that looked very simple, consisting only of red leaves.

The very tip of the blade of grass resembles a rooster's comb, but upon closer inspection, one can discover its unique feature: the veins are a reddish-gold color.

This highly yang-tonifying herb is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It can greatly enhance the soul power of the user and is also the key to helping Ma Hongjun solve his evil fire problem and completely transform into a phoenix in the original work.

The three-eyed golden lion suggested from the side, "I have an idea. You could try hunting a fire-attribute beast with phoenix blood, just like last time. But such beasts are probably even rarer than dragon beasts."

Upon hearing this, Yan couldn't help but turn around and pat the head of the three-eyed golden lion. "I say, are you really an imperial auspicious beast, helping a human like me to suggest capturing ancient beasts?"

"Hmph! Don't touch me like that, it's so annoying."

Xiao Qiu'er twisted her body arrogantly, but did not move her fluffy head away. Instead, she gently rubbed her palm against Yan's palm and continued, "Anyway, you can figure it out even if I don't say it."

Furthermore, in the current world of spirit beasts, most of those possessing ancient bloodlines only have diluted bloodlines, and their intelligence has degenerated to the point where they are similar to ordinary spirit beasts. These kinds of beasts cannot be considered true ancient bloodlines.

“You’re right, that’s why they’re hard to find. You might be able to find some sub-dragons or even some true dragons in some corner of the Douluo Continent, but beasts with phoenix blood are really rare. These kinds of beasts almost disappeared at the end of the Dragon Age.”

As Yan spoke, he leaned against the three-eyed golden phoenix and sat on a large rock, gently stroking the latter's soft, fluffy fur. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly stopped. "I wonder if phoenixes from other worlds can do it. If they are all from the same universe, it should work, right?"

"What are you talking about? What other world? And what does 'universe' mean?"

After hearing Yan's words, the three-eyed golden cat couldn't help but ask a question. However, Yan just smiled and didn't explain much. He wasn't sure if his idea was right yet, and since his ability to travel to other worlds was of great importance, he decided not to let the golden cat know for the time being.

After Yan had other ideas, he lost interest in staying in Sunset Forest. After giving some instructions to the golden-haired cat, he left Blue Silver Emperor and departed from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye alone.

……

"You're back."

In the council hall of Wuhun City, after several days of travel, Yan finally returned to the foundation of the Wuhun Hall after resolving the trivial matters of the Heaven Dou Empire. He saw his Pope once again, and Bibi Dong, upon seeing him again, also showed a rare gentleness.

"Ah."

Yan simply replied softly, and there was a moment of silence between them. He waved his hand to close the palace door, and then took out a heavy lead box.

"Boom!"

This lead box, which doesn't look very big, actually weighs at least 200 pounds. Yan simply placed it lightly on the table, and it made a dull thud.

"what is this?"

Bibi Dong couldn't help but step down from the throne and come to Yan's side, curiously asking about the origin of the lead box.

It had been less than three days since Yan left Heaven Dou City, and he hadn't revealed anything about Tang Hao to anyone else. So even Bibi Dong didn't know that the Haotian Douluo, who had been feared by a generation of Spirit Hall members, had left this world forever.

Yan did not answer immediately, but silently opened the heavy lead box. In an instant, the multicolored soul light illuminated the entire council hall, and several domineering and powerful auras filled the entire palace.

“Soul bones, how do you have so many soul bones?”

When Bibi Dong saw what was inside the lead box, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Inside were the eight soul bones that Yan had obtained during this period. One skull came from Soul Saint Shi Nian, and the remaining seven were the spoils of this trip.

Yan looked at the box full of soul bones, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. "Tang Hao truly deserves to be called a peerless genius who shook the Douluo Continent. All six of his main soul bones are full."

"Tang Hao, these soul bones."

Upon hearing Yan's words, Bibi Dong seemed to realize something, staring in shock at the several soul bones in the box that exuded an overbearing aura. "Tang Hao... he's dead. You killed him."

Her tone was full of surprise. Even though Tang Hao was no longer her match and they barely had any interaction, Bibi Dong, as the Pope, was shocked upon hearing the news of the man's death.

Who is Tang Hao? He is the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent, and a peerless powerhouse who suppressed a generation.

Her teacher, the previous Pope Qian Xunji, was seriously injured by Tang Hao. Bibi Dong was able to turn the tables and achieve her current status because of that incident, thanks to Tang Hao.

Because of her many interactions with this man, Bibi Dong felt quite conflicted when she heard the news of his death. Haotian Douluo Tang Hao was an idol for many people of her generation.

Yan's words carried a hint of melancholy, "He's dead, and it's time for the era of the Clear Sky Sect to end. Once these four generations of the family have all passed away, the Clear Sky Sect could perhaps follow Lan Ba's example and leave some seeds behind!"

"Well, the Haotian Hammer is one of the six royal weapons after all, it wouldn't be good if it were completely lost."

Bibi Dong nodded, and the two of them decided the fate of the Haotian Sect in just a few words. Then they turned their attention back to the box of soul bones in front of them.

"Tang Hao's soul bones have been nurtured by his Killing God Domain for many years, making them very suitable for the owner of the Killing God Domain. When Nana returns, we can give them to her."

Bibi Dong reached out and picked out Tang Hao's six soul bones. "Although one or two of them are relatively old, I remember you previously researched the method of fusing soul bones, right?"

Yan nodded. "Using the secret method I developed, soul bones from the same part can be fused together, but not too many times, and more materials need to be prepared, so it's a bit troublesome. But it's nothing for Nana."

"This soul bone must be the soul bone left behind by that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. It's a 100,000-year-old soul bone left behind by a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has advanced normally. It's so beautiful that I have an irresistible urge to absorb and refine it."

Bibi Dong looked at the blue light hidden at the bottom of her chest and couldn't help but reach out her hand again. She held a delicate right leg soul bone in her hand to admire it. The dazzling blue light made people's eyes dazzled. "If I remember correctly, you don't have a right leg bone yet, right? A 100,000-year soul bone, you can't possibly look down on it, can you?"

"My standards aren't that high."

Yan knew she was alluding to his past disdain for the 30,000-year-old Crimson Flame Beast Soul Bone. He found his teacher's somewhat childish behavior rather amusing.

Bibi Dong smiled at Yan and placed the crystal-clear blue soul bone in front of him. "Then don't waste time. I happen to have some free time now and can protect you. Just refine it."

Upon hearing this, Yan no longer hesitated and reached out to take the right leg soul bone, which was entirely blue-gold and full of life.

"Buzz..."

Yan took the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor and placed it next to his own right leg. With a slight buzzing sound, he felt his right leg tremble slightly. Then, a cool aura quietly entered his leg from all directions.

The crystalline blue soul bone quietly disappeared, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy that permeated around his right leg. Yan felt an inexplicable heat and repulsion erupt within his body.

This stemmed from the will of the Blue Silver Emperor; it instinctively felt some resistance towards Yan, the murderer who killed its husband.

However, with its seed transplanted to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there were not many fragments of spiritual energy contained within the soul bone. Although the soul bone was still resisting and rejecting Yan, refining this soul bone was still very easy for Yan.

As the soul bone underwent deeper refinement, Yan felt changes in his body, as if his right leg had stepped into a vast blue sea. Immersed in the gentle energy fluctuations, he felt his soul power gently undulating under the special pull it emitted.

With each fluctuation, the surrounding air softened slightly. His soul power didn't increase significantly, but it became purer, and the coolness from his right leg bone instantly spread to every part of Yan's body.

Chapter 394 Earth Spirit Mountain Range

"This feeling is really wonderful."

Inside the Spirit Hall's council hall, as the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor was gradually refined by Yan, a cool blue aura directly affected his meridians, allowing him to constantly feel his own transformation.

A cool aura enveloped his entire body, and the rich life force elevated his essence. Blue Silver Grass belongs to the wood element, and wood can generate fire. Refining this soul bone not only resolved some of his shortcomings but also greatly enhanced his abilities.

"Are you leaving again? Are you in such a hurry?"

After refining the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, Yan discussed some things with Bibi Dong before preparing to go to the underground research room to open the portal to leave. At this moment, the Pope was a little unhappy, and his tone was quite resentful.

"I'll listen to whatever the teacher says. *gulp*"

Upon hearing this, Yan couldn't help but turn around and look. For some reason, he noticed that the Pope's clothes didn't seem to be properly dressed, and it seemed that he needed to reach out and straighten them. Once he straightened them, he couldn't help himself. The ambiguous relationship between a man and a woman alone was already quite intense, so naturally, their passion ignited once again.

……

Before the blurry light of the portal, Yan's figure slowly disappeared from the spot. A warm feeling spread through his chest, and his heart burned with an unprecedented intensity. How long had it been since he last saw her?

He watched as dazzling red lotus petals rose around his body, the surrounding scenery gradually blurred, the familiar objects distorted, and everything around him was changing. Under the soft red light, he finally arrived once again in this world filled with fire elements.

Yan no longer felt the discomfort of his first visit. The thick fire element brought him only boundless pleasure, as if every cell in his body was groaning comfortably with his breath.

As he stepped onto solid ground, the red light around him gradually faded, and his first glance fell upon the center of the lava lake. He then leaped over and flew there.

At the heart of the lava lake, in the center of the Earth's core, a giant, fiery red egg is undergoing a transformation, constantly gathering fire-attribute energy. This is the mount that Blaze has prepared for him—a powerful fire-attribute dragon pet.

Just then, Lie Yan's voice, as melodious as celestial music, gently rang in his ears, "Little Yan, I haven't seen you in so long."

"Blazing flames..."

Yan turned around and what came into view was a face so exquisite that words could not describe it. Before seeing Lieyan, he had a thousand words he wanted to say to her, but when he actually saw Lieyan, he found that he could not say a single word.

When he saw Lieyan's delicate face with a faint smile, something seemed to choke him. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately stepped forward, embracing the goddess in his arms to declare his ownership.

"Waaah... Xiao Yan, no, no, don't rush me... I haven't even... Waaah..."

Lieyan's fiery red lips lost control in an instant and began to ramble incoherently. A moment later, the goddess responded to him very proactively. When the two of them fell onto the rocky core, the surrounding lava couldn't help but ripple.

After such a long separation, Yan naturally wouldn't let go of his beloved goddess. Although they didn't end up together, he had done almost everything that needed to be done and seen, so he naturally felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Yan, you're so mean. You always bully people every time we meet."

Lieyan nestled in Yan's arms, her soft, boneless hands gently stroking his face, expressing her love with tender words.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Flame Queen, Yan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Flame, do you like being bullied by Xiao Yan?"
