On the carriage journey to Blue Silver City, Chu Chen voiced the question that had been on his mind.
"Brother Qinghe, for such a grand gathering of the Tiandou and Xingluo Empires, there must be some kind of bargaining chip involved, otherwise, why would they allow the younger generation of both countries to go out without reservation?"
Xue Qinghe seemed to have anticipated that Chu Chen would ask this question, so he explained.
"Of course there are bargaining chips, and those chips... are the ownership of Blue Silver City and the surrounding cities and their land."
Chu Chen frowned. Using national territory as a bargaining chip?
No wonder they send their younger generation to fight without reservation; the victors will gain a larger territory and naturally develop a stronger national power.
Once war breaks out...we will definitely have the upper hand.
"So, does the area where Blue Silver City and the surrounding cities are located belong to Tiandou or Xingluo?"
Xue Qinghe sighed, "Xingluo."
Chu Chen chuckled. It seems the people from the Heavenly Dou Empire weren't very good last time...
The journey was long, and even with a horse-drawn carriage, it would take almost a week. So, during this week, Chu Chen relaxed and simply enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
He often enters a meditative state, communicating with the plants along the way through invisible vibrations, seemingly able to obtain some interesting information through this method of meditation!
In this way, time is wasted very quickly.
On the seventh day, Chu Chen discovered that they had arrived at a vast plain. The city was not grand, but it stood out conspicuously on the open plain.
"Blue Silver City is just ahead," Xue Qinghe introduced.
He looked at the plain and continued, "This plain is the largest source of mineral and oil resources, and it happens to be located on the border of the Tian Dou Star Luo..."
“In the past, small-scale wars often broke out to compete for this place, resulting in heavy casualties and damage to the resources here. Later, the tradition of the grand event continued.”
Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
It seems that minerals and oil are extremely important resources everywhere, even in the Douluo Continent.
As the convoy moved along, Chu Chen entered the so-called Blue Silver City. The people here were dressed in no special way, but what was unique was that they all had special patterns on their arms that resembled blue silver grass.
"What are these patterns? A curse? Or some kind of inheritance?"
Chu Chen had doubts.
Before long, after going through some tedious procedures, they finally arrived inside Blue Silver City, where some royal troops from the Star Luo Empire had already gathered.
"The competition within the Star Luo Empire's royal family is fierce, so far, no true crown prince has emerged. Therefore, the representative on this trip is the eldest prince, Davis, who is the most likely candidate to become the crown prince."
Xue Qinghe, walking beside Chu Chen, introduced him to him.
At that moment, a blond man looked over in front of them, followed by some polite greetings from Xue Qinghe and Davis…
"I am really looking forward to tomorrow's grand event."
After their conversation, Davis left with those words.
In Blue Silver City, resting places were prepared for both countries' troops. Of course, Chu Chen had no intention of resting. He walked around Blue Silver City aimlessly.
"Watch this, Blue Silver Wrap!"
Suddenly, a child's voice came from beside him. Chu Chen frowned. The little brat had chased him here.
Obviously not.
He looked over and saw two children, around ten years old, sparring together. They possessed only the most ordinary white spirit rings, and their martial spirits were both Blue Silver Grass.
The little boy released Blue Silver Grass, which surged from the ground and coiled around another chubby boy in front of him. His movements and starting stance were exactly the same as the little punk's...
The chubby boy opposite him was equally unyielding, his Blue Silver Grass blooming upright and transforming into a longsword: "Watch my Blue Silver Sword cut through your entanglement!"
Chu Chen: "Alright, alright, control the Blue Silver Grass, and launch a full-scale attack on it?!"
Chapter 48 Faith in the Blue Silver Emperor: Chu Chen's Imminent Opportunity!
"It's quite interesting that the children here have such unique ways of using Blue Silver Grass."
Chu Chen stood aside, watching the fight between the little boy and the chubby boy. Unexpectedly, the chubby boy's blue silver sword was exceptionally sharp and actually cut through the little boy's entangled blue silver grass.
They fought for a long time without a clear winner.
"Big brother, you've been watching us for a long time, is there something you need?" the little boy asked Chu Chen obediently.
"I just think you guys are really good at using Blue Silver Grass. What kind of spirit beast did you absorb for your first spirit ring?"
Chu Chen sat down to the side and started talking to the two kids.
“My first spirit ring is a fifty-year-old tiger tail vine,” the little boy said.
The chubby boy followed suit: "Mine is a 50-year-old Guzhu."
Chu Chen nodded and praised, "The Tiger Tail Vine, a soul beast, has roots that creep along the ground, and its leaves are interwoven with strong fibers. Moreover, the leaves are extensible, which is indeed very suitable for your path of control-type Blue Silver Grass."
"The same goes for the Lone Bamboo. It possesses resilience and has good piercing power, making it very suitable for the offensive Blue Silver Grass."
After being praised, both the little boy and the chubby boy scratched their heads somewhat shyly.
"Big brother, you know a lot about Blue Silver Grass!" the chubby boy asked curiously.
"Hmm, I guess you know quite a bit about it. I heard there are people here who cultivate the agility-based Blue Silver Grass?" Chu Chen asked.
The little boy nodded and said, "Yes, Blue Silver Grass can gain extremely fast speed by absorbing plant-type soul beasts like Cornelian Cherry, but its attack power is slightly lacking."
"If you want to go for a defensive build, hunt some tough plant-type soul beasts; if you want to go for a support/healing build, hunt plants with self-healing abilities."
"Cornelian..."
Chu Chen knew about this plant-like spirit beast.
It can spray out pollen with a paralyzing effect at an extremely fast speed, almost in the blink of an eye!
I never imagined that the speed at which it spews pollen could become a skill for Blue Silver Grass to train in agility-based attacks...
Chu Chen admired in his heart that even the children in Blue Silver City knew how to apply different characteristics of plant-type soul beasts to Blue Silver Grass to give it different branches.
"The people here..."
He suddenly felt something was off. How one chooses to cultivate their martial soul is indeed a personal choice. He said he wanted to cultivate control, and that wasn't wrong, but he was incredibly foolish. He wouldn't go far down that path.
A large part of the reason he kept mocking Yu Xiaogang was that the guy pretended to know everything, saying that Blue Silver Grass only had one way to be controlled.
In fact, if Tang San hadn't possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, you would have ruined him too, forcing the Blue Silver Grass to absorb animal soul rings, sacrificing the greater for the lesser, and turning the tables on the Heavenly Gang.
And the people here prove it.
As Xue Qinghe said, if ordinary Blue Silver Grass follows these branching paths, it will only reach the level of Soul Venerable and Soul Master.
Take Tang San for example. Even though his Blue Silver Grass has the hidden Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, it is now destined to be unable to awaken. So how far can he go?
"I'm not here to correct their path of cultivation, but these wildly imaginative ideas might give me some inspiration."
Chu Chen looked at the two little ones and asked, "Why don't you think about casting animal-type soul beasts on your Blue Silver Grass?"
Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately shook their heads.
"That won't do. Although Blue Silver Grass is weak, it can undergo considerable evolution by absorbing plant-type soul beasts, but absorbing animal-type ones is absolutely out of the question."
Yes, even kids know this.
Yu Xiaogang, you clown.
"Big brother, are you also a Blue Silver Grass martial soul?" the little boy asked.
Chu Chen opened his palm. He did not directly reveal his current golden Blue Silver Emperor, but instead condensed a blue-gold Blue Silver Emperor, exactly the same as the previous form of the Blue Silver Emperor.
"Wow, it has golden blue silver grass!"
Chu Chen said goodbye to the two little ones and continued to wander around Blue Silver City. Indeed, everyone here possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and he saw many uses of the Blue Silver Grass along the way.
For example, Blue Silver Grass can be condensed into a shield, or a greatsword, a hammer, or even used to accelerate itself by bursting through the ground with the explosive force of Blue Silver Grass...
The various strange and imaginative ways of using it also broadened Chu Chen's horizons.
"I never expected that Blue Silver Grass had so many uses... but I haven't seen a single Soul Master along the way."
But there is no doubt about it.
Chu Chen's advantage lies in his mastery of the life-giving Blue Silver Grass, which allows him to control all the changes within the Blue Silver Grass.
There are indeed many ways to cultivate Blue Silver Grass, but Chu Chen always felt that the most suitable path was life itself, which is the inherent characteristic of Blue Silver Grass's fragile martial soul!
"The various cultivation paths in Blue Silver City are quite interesting. The routes are feasible, but they won't last long."
Chu Chen wanted to return to his residence, but a middle-aged man appeared in front of him at some point. The man looked up at Chu Chen, suppressing the excitement deep in his eyes, and asked, "May I ask if you are from the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
"I suppose so. What is it?" Chu Chen nodded.
This person possesses strength that Chu Chen cannot currently fathom; according to his estimation, he is at least a Soul Saint.
"No need to worry, I mean no harm. I've heard that you possess a Blue Silver Grass martial soul engraved with golden patterns, I wonder..."
Chu Chen stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. On his arm, there was also the special mark that Chu Chen had seen before.
This mark intrigued him greatly. It was something that all the people of Blue Silver City possessed, and it was clearly not a custom, but rather something like a kind of inherited mark.
"You are the city lord of Blue Silver City."
Perhaps the only person in the entire Blue Silver City whose strength Chu Chen couldn't discern was the Blue Silver City Lord, whom Xue Qinghe mentioned, who possessed the strength of a Soul Douluo. He was also the only Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with formidable power.
“That’s right.” The city lord nodded and summoned his martial spirit.
Chu Chen realized something was wrong. His was clearly not Blue Silver Grass, or rather, it should be Blue Silver King. It had obviously undergone an evolution, making it more powerful and containing a life force.
A golden Blue Silver Emperor bloomed in Chu Chen's hand.
At this moment, the Blue Silver King in the city lord's hand uncontrollably knelt down in the direction of Chu Chen...
"Golden-patterned... Golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass, could it be the legendary Blue Silver Emperor, the true ruler of the Blue Silver Clan!"
The city lord's tone was a mixture of shock and excitement. He stepped forward quickly and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency, is this the Blue Silver Emperor? The legendary Blue Silver Emperor?!"
Chu Chen sensed that the latter meant no harm, so he nodded and asked, "What kind of place is Blue Silver City?"
The city lord looked at him with piety and said, "This is a place where people have worshipped the Blue Silver Emperor for generations. Your Excellency, the martial spirit you possess is the very Blue Silver Emperor that we worship."
"Faith in the Blue Silver Emperor?" Chu Chen was taken aback. He had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an opportunity for him here.
"Yes, Your Excellency, the people living in Blue Silver City also worship the Blue Silver Emperor," the city lord said earnestly.
