Chapter 25 Departure, Sunset Forest!
Chapter 25 Departure, Sunset Forest!
Standing beneath Xiao Lan's majestic trunk, feeling the vibrant life that the entire forest had regained, Lin Qiyue made up her mind about her next plan.
"Little Blue, your foundation is already very solid. Next, we will do our best to increase your lifespan and strive to reach 200,000 years as soon as possible."
Lin Qiyue gently stroked the cold, tough bark of the tree and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master! Little Blue will definitely do her best!"
Xiao Lan's voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.
An increase in age signifies a leap in strength and also means being able to better assist its master.
Lin Qiyue nodded, but then frowned slightly: "However, when you break through the threshold of two hundred thousand years, you will inevitably attract a heavenly tribulation. This is a test that a soul beast must undergo to achieve a qualitative change in its cultivation. In Heaven Dou City... it will be too conspicuous."
He looked up.
"The commotion caused by the Heavenly Tribulation will be immense, inevitably attracting the attention of countless powerful figures. We cannot take that risk."
Xiao Lan paused for a moment, her voice tinged with dependence: "Master, Xiao Lan will listen to you."
"So, we need to move."
"Find a place that is remote, vast, and sparsely populated, as your new base for undergoing tribulation and for our future development. Ideally, it should be deep within a large forest or mountain range with abundant natural energy, suitable for the growth of Blue Silver Grass."
This idea had actually been brewing in his mind for a long time.
Although Tiandou City is prosperous, it is ultimately a human settlement with many rules and a complex network of informants.
He possesses the extraordinary ability to cultivate and control Blue Silver Grass, as well as Little Blue, a 100,000-year-old soul beast with unlimited potential. Living in seclusion on the edge of the city for a long time is like a giant dragon curled up in shallow waters, which is ultimately not a long-term solution.
He needs a wider world and more freedom to grow.
"However, moving is the next step."
Lin Qiyue withdrew her gaze from the distance, her eyes sharpening once more.
"Before that, we'll raise your cultivation level to 190,000 years! We'll solidify your foundation to the extreme, making the most thorough preparations for passing the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation!"
He was well aware of the terror of heavenly tribulations.
He had to make sure Xiao Lan was in top condition to meet the challenge.
"Yes, Master!"
Little Blue responded, its massive canopy swaying gently, radiating an indomitable fighting spirit.
With the plan set, Lin Qiyue decided not to delay any longer.
In the days that followed, he adjusted the focus of his cultivation.
Time passed day by day.
Xiao Lan's cultivation level steadily increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
115,000 years... 120,000 years... 130,000 years...
Six months later.
With Lin Qiyue's tireless nurturing and the energy support of the entire Blue Silver Forest, Xiao Lan's cultivation level soared like a rocket, finally stopping steadily at the threshold of 190,000 years today!
The 190,000-year-old Blue Silver Tree is far more imposing than it once was.
The tree, which was originally 100 meters tall, is now nearly 150 meters tall, and its trunk is so thick that it takes seven or eight people to encircle it.
The bark is a darker color, almost inky blue.
The tree canopy, like a giant umbrella reaching for the sky, expanded its coverage area several times over, casting a soft blue light over most of the manor's center.
The boundless life force and soul power fluctuations were restrained and profound, like a bottomless ocean.
It's fortunate that Blue Silver Domain is top-tier; otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago.
Of course, Xiao Lan can also control her body at will, and she will shrink down normally.
At this moment, the land in the center of the manor, which was originally occupied by Little Blue's huge root system, is now completely empty.
On Lin Qiyue's left wrist, there was a strange ornament.
A wristband woven from countless fine and resilient blue and silver vines, with faint gold patterns flowing across its surface.
The wristband has a simple and elegant design, a warm and smooth feel like jade, and a unique plant-based suppleness that fits the wrist perfectly without feeling bulky.
This is Xiao Lan!
She used the myriad phenomena of the universe to compress and condense her immense physical energy to the extreme, transforming it into this wristband that attached itself to Lin Qiyue.
In this way, her enormous body can be hidden, so that it will not cause a huge commotion when she moves, while at the same time she can maintain the closest connection with Lin Qiyue at any time, and instantly restore her body or release her power when he needs it.
"Master, is this comfortable?"
Xiao Lan's voice rang directly in Lin Qiyue's mind, carrying a hint of novelty.
Following her master in this form was a completely new experience for her.
Lin Qiyue gently stroked the blue-silver wristband on her wrist, feeling the vast energy contained within and that familiar sense of intimacy, and smiled, "Very good, Little Blue. This will make our actions much easier."
He looked up at the Blue Silver Forest he had been cultivating for over a year.
Countless blue silver grass trees still stand tall, radiating vitality, but their true emperor and core have quietly shifted.
Other Blue Silver Grasses in the manor cannot yet change shape and be carried around like Little Blue.
Lin Qiyue could only leave them here for the time being.
Fortunately, after six months of nourishment and the support of the Blue Silver Realm, this Blue Silver Forest has become a self-contained system with strong vitality.
Even without Little Blue guarding the center, they can still survive well and continue to grow slowly, relying on the seven ancient Blue Silver Trees.
Let him slowly transplant it later.
"Once I find a new home and settle down, I'll find a way to bring you over, or... let this forest become one of our bases in Tiandou City."
Lin Qiyue spoke softly to the blue silver grass around her.
He could feel countless faint emotions of longing and reluctance emanating from him.
In just six months, Lin Qiyue also made significant progress.
While helping Xiao Lan improve, he never slacked off in his own cultivation.
Being in the perfect simulated environment of the Blue Silver Forest every day, and enjoying the nourishment from countless Blue Silver Grasses, his soul power grew at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, his soul power level has steadily reached level 20!
The unique yellow-blue century-old soul ring floated quietly, and the blue patterns on it seemed to be clearer, vaguely showing signs of transforming into a millennium level.
He was not in a hurry to acquire a second spirit ring.
Having set a precedent by having his first spirit ring formed by the Blue Silver Grass clan, he had already decided that all future spirit rings would follow this path of self-production and self-sales, with unlimited potential.
Let's move first and then figure it out.
"It's time to set off."
Lin Qiyue took one last look at the manor where she had lived for many years.
He had already told Uncle Chen about his decision to move.
Although the old man was reluctant, he had no objections and said that he would go wherever the young master went, so that he could help the young master manage the daily life of the new home.
Of course, it's not appropriate to take Uncle Chen with me this time; maybe next time.
As for the destination, Lin Qiyue already had a choice in mind—Sunset Forest!
Sunset Forest is home to a wide variety of spirit beasts, including many that are ten thousand years old or even higher.
More importantly, unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, its core area is not inhabited by overlord-level soul beasts, making it more suitable for his development.
The deep forest is sparsely populated and has a superior natural environment, which is very suitable for the growth of Blue Silver Grass. It is also remote enough that it is the ideal place for Xiao Lan to undergo his tribulation and establish a new base.
Moreover, there is another place in Sunset Forest that is extremely tempting to Lin Qiyue.
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!
