Chapter 216 A-Yin: Kawaii Yo!
Gu Yuena led Huo Yuhao and A Yin into the mysterious Blue Silver Forest. The soul beasts in the forest seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from Gu Yuena immediately. They became unusually quiet, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Their previous restlessness and sense of threat vanished without a trace.
As one of the Dragon God's avatars, the Silver Dragon King's majesty was not unfounded. Her status as the ruler of soul beasts was not solely based on her title, but on the unparalleled, absolute suppressive power within her bloodline. Before her, all soul beasts with bloodlines inferior to hers, no matter how powerful, would be rendered immobile under the weight of her aura, as if bound by invisible shackles.
However, although the soul beasts were suppressed by the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, the Blue Silver Grass in the forest seemed to be stimulated by something and became unusually active. They swayed gently in the breeze, as if paying tribute to the powerful Silver Dragon King, or as if demonstrating their tenacious vitality.
Although this Blue Silver Forest is not large, its antiquity commands respect. The trees soar into the clouds, some reaching hundreds of meters in height, their trunks thick and their branches intertwined, forming a verdant ocean that blocks out the sun. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the treetops, casting dappled shadows and adding to the forest's mystique and tranquility.
Every tree in the forest seems to tell a story of history, witnessing countless changes over the years and enduring countless storms. The tree rings hold countless stories and secrets, inspiring curiosity and awe for the history of this forest.
This forest has an ancient history, seemingly dating back to prehistoric times. Every inch of land, every leaf, is brimming with life and vitality, while also bearing witness to the joys and sorrows of countless spirit beasts. Here, time seems to stand still, captivating visitors with the mystery and beauty of this ancient forest.
In Ah Yin's heart, that mysterious spiritual power surged like a tide, and almost instantly, it echoed in the depths of his mind, like an ancient hymn, full of power and mystery.
"Great Emperor, I am here!" The voice was filled with awe and anticipation.
Ah Yin raised his head, his gaze piercing through the surrounding forest before settling on a spot not far ahead. Before him stood a gigantic Blue Silver Grass, its presence almost impossible to ignore. The plant's vines were long and intricate, intertwined like giant blue pythons stretching upwards towards the sky. Their height was astonishing, easily over ten meters above the ground, as if challenging the heavens, defying the limits of nature.
The entire body of the Blue Silver Grass is a sky-blue hue, its surface shimmering with a unique, crystalline luster, as if carved from the purest sapphire. Around it, the Blue Silver Grass grows exceptionally lush, its vines reaching several meters high, forming a vast, azure ocean. This ocean, illuminated by the sunlight, shimmers with a mesmerizing light, like a cloud in the sky, beautiful and mysterious.
Each of these vines is as thick as an average person's waist, and their root systems are unfathomably deep, stretching downwards as if trying to pierce the earth. Some of the older roots have completely grown out of the ground, exposed to the air, their surfaces covered with a thin layer of blue moss, giving them an ancient and mysterious appearance.
Just then, Ah Yin sensed a strange fluctuation. He focused his gaze and saw that the center of the Blue Silver Grass was beginning to change. The vines seemed to come alive; they began to move slowly and eventually coalesced into a human face.
The face looked devout, staring intently at Ah Yin, as if waiting for something.
"Was it you who just called out?" Ah Yin asked curiously, a hint of doubt in his voice. "I feel like I know you from before."
Ah Yin's heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if she were searching for a lost memory.
A Yin couldn't help but break free from Gu Yuena's warm embrace. She took small steps and slowly walked towards the giant Blue Silver Grass. Her little hands gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver King, feeling the faint pulse coming from the vines.
The leaves of the Blue Silver King trembled slightly under Ah Yin's touch, as if responding to his closeness. A strange sense of intimacy welled up in Ah Yin's heart; it seemed that he had indeed once had some kind of connection with this ancient plant.
Under Ah Yin's gentle caress, an indescribable warmth and joy welled up in the Blue Silver King's heart. He felt as if he were surrounded by an invisible force, a long-lost sense of intimacy and respect.
"Yes, Your Majesty. It is I who am calling upon you." The Blue Silver King's voice trembled slightly, his words filled with reverence and loyalty for the emperor before him.
"Great Emperor, I haven't sensed your presence for over a decade. I never imagined I would see you today. Although you haven't recovered your cultivation and have lost your memories, I can feel that you have returned!"
After saying this, the Blue Silver King's eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
"But don't worry, with me here, your lost cultivation will be restored soon. The Blue Silver Grass of this world can live without the Blue Silver King, but it cannot live without the Blue Silver Emperor. I am willing to give everything for you and witness you ascend to the supreme throne again!" The Blue Silver King's words were full of determination and resolve.
He continued, "I will gather all the Blue Silver Clan members and let them know that the Emperor has returned. We will work together, fight together, until you have fully regained your strength. Success may not be mine, but I will certainly be a part of it! I will be with you until the Blue Silver Clan prospers again, until you once again reign supreme!"
The Blue Silver King's words were filled with power and conviction. He was willing to give everything, even his life, for the Blue Silver Emperor and the future of the Blue Silver Clan.
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire space seemed to tremble, and a vast and boundless aura suddenly surged forth from all directions. This aura did not originate solely from the Blue Silver King, but rather seemed to be the concentrated manifestation of the will and power of the entire forest.
As the guardian of this forest, the Blue Silver King's power is closely related to the Blue Silver Grass throughout the forest; there is a mysterious and powerful connection between them.
At this moment, each Blue Silver Grass seemed to be given life, and its leaves began to emit faint blue light spots.
Although these points of light were faint, when they rose simultaneously from thousands of Blue Silver Grass plants, they converged into a spectacular sight. The entire forest seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious blue glow, resembling a dreamlike blue ocean.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena stood not far away, and they could clearly feel the immense power emanating from it. Their hearts seemed to merge with the forest, allowing them to perceive things from afar.
They realized that this power was not limited to the forest they were in; the surrounding forests, such as the Starry Sky Forest, the Sunset Forest, and even the Blue Silver Grass in the Soul Hunter Forest, all responded to some kind of call at this moment, beginning to transmit their light and power to Ah Yin.
At this moment, Ah Yin's body shone exceptionally brightly. She seemed to transform into a massive energy vortex, greedily absorbing all the energy around her. Her body slowly rose into the air, as if in sync with the pulse of the entire forest, her presence becoming the center of this forest.
As energy continued to flow in, Ah Yin's aura also strengthened. Her power increased at a visible rate, from its initial weakness to a rapid ascent, until it broke through a certain critical point.
In a very short time, Ah Yin's cultivation level had broken through to the 100,000-year mark, reaching a completely new height.
However, just as Ah Yin's cultivation reached the crucial milestone of 100,000 years, her progress suddenly stalled. Despite this, the natural forces around her continued to surge into her body, as if pushing her towards an unknown realm. This force was so immense that Ah Yin's face began to contort, revealing unbearable pain.
The Blue Silver King knew the importance of this moment. He realized that if he didn't act quickly, Ah Yin might be devoured by this immense power. Therefore, without hesitation, the Blue Silver King immediately began a sacrificial ritual.
As the sacrificial ritual proceeded, a terrifying power began to surge within Ah Yin's body, as if it were about to break through all constraints.
In that instant, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered. This was a rare 100,000-year lightning tribulation in the world of soul beasts. All soul beasts knew that only a very few could successfully survive this tribulation, and those who succeeded would evolve into even more powerful ferocious beasts.
Just as the Blue Silver King finished his sacrifice and Ah Yin's cultivation broke through 100,000 years, a lightning tribulation, like a divine punishment, descended from the sky without any warning, striking Ah Yin fiercely like the scythe of death.
This lightning bolt carried destructive power and struck Ah Yin's body directly. The terrifying lightning instantly turned Ah Yin's clothes to ashes.
At this critical moment, Huo Yuhao rushed forward without hesitation. Knowing the danger Ah Yin was in, he quickly draped his Ice God Armor over her. The Ice God Armor emitted a soft blue light the instant it touched Ah Yin's body, as if using its power to protect her and shield her from external harm.
Gu Yuena stood there, her eyes flashing with anger. She stared at the majestic tribulation cloud in the sky, her gaze filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to tear it apart.
Her heart was filled with anger and protectiveness. Watching her newly adopted daughter, Ah Yin, struggle in agony under the ravages of lightning, she could barely control her emotions. Ah Yin's body trembled incessantly under the bombardment of lightning, each flash of thunder and lightning feeling like a knife slashing into Gu Yuena's heart.
However, just as Gu Yuena was about to make her move, Huo Yuhao tightly grasped her right hand, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and calmness. He slowly shook his head, trying to calm Gu Yuena down.
"Na'er," Huo Yuhao's voice was deep and powerful, "this is Ah Yin's destiny. The characteristic of the Blue Silver Emperor is that it cannot be extinguished by wildfire, and it will spring back to life with the spring breeze. Have you noticed that, despite being struck so tragically by lightning, Ah Yin's aura is becoming stronger and stronger, and the life force within her is beginning to grow continuously?"
Gu Yuena's anger subsided slightly, but her heart remained filled with worry. She knew Huo Yuhao was telling the truth; Ah Yin's bloodline did indeed contain terrifying vitality. She could sense that after Ah Yin began her tribulation, the Blue Silver Grass across the entire Douluo Continent seemed to be responding to the Emperor's call, their leaves swaying as they continuously replenished the Blue Silver Emperor's energy.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath. She knew Huo Yuhao was right; she couldn't interfere with A Yin's tribulation simply because of her own worries. But she still couldn't bear to watch her daughter suffer such pain.
"I can't just stand by and watch my daughter suffer," Gu Yuena said with a firm voice. "You've already used the Ice God Armor to protect our daughter, so I have to do something too."
As Gu Yuena spoke, she gently took out a piece of shimmering Life Gold from her sleeve.
"Blue Silver Emperor is inherently of the life attribute, complementing the Metal of Life. Using the Metal of the Holy Spirit to help Ah Yin will definitely have unexpected effects."
As Gu Yuena spoke, she controlled the flow of water, continuously injecting the life force within the Holy Spirit Gold into A Yin's body.
Nourished by the life-giving gold, Ah Yin's aura immediately began to increase wildly.
However, this time Gu Yuena seemed to have overdone it. Under her guidance, the Blue Silver Grass across the entire Douluo Continent seemed to be awakened, their vitality and power converging to form a powerful life energy. Driven by this power, Ah Yin's cultivation level surged like a wild horse, almost breaking through to two hundred thousand years.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Gu Yuena put away her Holy Spirit Gold; otherwise, Ah Yin would probably have had to endure two hundred thousand years of lightning tribulation.
Given Ah Yin's current resources and accumulated strength, it would be too much of a stretch for her to withstand two hundred thousand lightning tribulations in one go. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena couldn't bear to see Ah Yin suffer.
After surviving the tribulation of lightning, Ah Yin was finally able to truly transform into human form. She turned into a little girl, threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, hugged him tightly, and her face beamed with a happy smile. Her little hands rubbed against Huo Yuhao's chest.
Well, it seems that even after restoring his cultivation, Ah Yin still hasn't regained his memories.
However, Huo Yuhao seemed even more delighted. He had been worried that Ah Yin would leave him after regaining her memories. Compared to the truth of what happened back then, Huo Yuhao liked this girl much more; after all, Ah Yin was just so incredibly cute!
