Ye Die Die dared not think about anything else. She focused her thoughts and diligently operated the Butterfly Illusion technique, directing all her attention to herself.
With each breath, she adjusted herself to the best state.
After a quarter of an hour, Ye Die Die felt that she had reached her peak state. Just as she was about to break through, her body became like a black hole, absorbing the soul power in the air.
However, it was clear that the scarce soul power in the air was not enough for her breakthrough. But she had already prepared for this.
Ye Die Die put the Three-Increment Grass into her mouth, holding onto its leaves and roots, ready to absorb it carefully.
She followed the method she used to break through the thousand-year soul beast and prepared to surpass the ten-thousand-year soul beast.
However, what she didn't expect was that while Ye Die Die was absorbing soul power through the Butterfly Illusion technique, the small grass burst forth with a large amount of soul power.
The energy contained in the Three-Increment Grass filled her whole body, faintly on the verge of breaking through her own limits.
Ye Die Die tightened her body and mind, not daring to relax even a bit, and diligently operated the Butterfly Illusion technique, fearing any energy leakage.
She understood that if even the slightest bit of this energy leaked out, not only would her breakthrough be interrupted, but it would also be a catastrophe for the entire Blue Silver Grass species.
Ye Die Die exerted all her strength, allowing the soul power to flow into her body. In the past, cultivation was like absorbing a gentle stream.
Now, she was like a small boat in a turbulent sea, only able to let the waves of energy flow into her.
Ye Die Die guided this energy, rushing towards the bottleneck, and the energy became her driving force.
After finding a channel of release, this energy gradually calmed down, but the power contained within it remained abundant.
That small segment of Ye Die Die's progress towards the ten-thousand-year soul beast slowly replenished, advancing towards the hurdle.
Three days passed quietly.
Ye Die Die remained motionless, maintaining the same posture as when she began. The small segment of progress within her body was about to be reached.
However, the energy within the Three-Increment Grass was still abundant for her. But now, the energy was different from the intense beginning.
The energy within the Three-Increment Grass was now like a murmuring stream, slowly flowing into her body, making her feel very comfortable.
She was on the verge of breaking through to become a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Finally, the energy within her body had been cultivated to a good state, reaching that crucial point. As long as she broke through this hurdle, she would become a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
A ten-thousand-year soul beast was already considered a middle-level power in the Starry Forest. It was a relatively powerful existence.
Ye Die Die made a firm decision and directly crushed the Three-Increment Grass in her mouth. The green liquid filled with soul power flowed into her body.
At the beginning of absorbing the Three-Increment Grass, that strong energy reappeared. Having experienced it once before, she was prepared this time.
At the moment the energy was released, she directly guided it to impact that hurdle.
One attempt...
Two attempts...
Finally, the hurdle was shattered. She succeeded. She had now become a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
Suppressing her excitement, she absorbed the last bit of soul power remaining in the Three-Increment Grass to stabilize her cultivation.
"Butterfly Sister, did you succeed?" When Ye Die Die opened her eyes, A Yin asked nervously.
Ye Die Die slightly revealed a trace of her own energy, a presence that only A Yin could sense without any leakage.
"That's great, Butterfly Sister! You've finally become a ten-thousand-year soul beast. I'm so happy for you," A Yin said cheerfully. She had known since the moment Ye Die Die began to break through, and she had been waiting by her side, guarding her, fearing any other dangers.
Fortunately, during Ye Die Die's breakthrough, nothing else happened. She successfully broke through unharmed, which relieved A Yin.
"I made the breakthrough, Yin Mei. You're next, right? I see that you're already a nine-thousand-year soul beast. I believe it won't be long before you can break through and become a ten-thousand-year soul beast too," Ye Die Die said.
A Yin's talent for cultivation was indeed very high. Ye Die Die had watched A Yin grow step by step and didn't realize that she was already reaching her level.
Ye Die Die truly regarded A Yin as her little sister. In the thousands of years they had spent together, they had become good friends.
A Yin was also her first friend in this world.
"Ah, I'm still cultivating too slowly. If I could break through to become a ten-thousand-year soul beast with you, we could go to the inner area for cultivation."
"Right now... Butterfly Sister, why don't you go to the inner area for cultivation first? This outer chaotic region is not very suitable for the cultivation of a nine-thousand-year soul beast. You're already a ten-thousand-year soul beast now, so it's better to go to the inner area for cultivation as soon as possible!" A Yin suggested. Her voice gradually weakened, but she continued to feel happy for Ye Die Die's breakthrough as a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
"Don't worry too much, Yin Mei. I'll wait for you to break through as a ten-thousand-year soul beast, and then we can go to the inner area for cultivation together. By that time, the two of us as ten-thousand-year soul beasts, I don't believe anyone can surpass us sisters," Ye Die Die said.
"It doesn't matter where we cultivate; it's all the same. I also really like the cultivation atmosphere of the Blue Silver Grass tribe here. Maybe my cultivation speed will be a bit faster here!" Ye Die Die continued and handed some cultivation herbs to A Yin.
"Butterfly Sister, don't worry. I will work hard in cultivation," A Yin said earnestly. She wanted to break through and become a ten-thousand-year soul beast as soon as possible. This would not only fulfill the expectations of the previous Blue Silver King for her, but also the dreams of all the Blue Silver Grasses. At the same time, she could also help Butterfly Sister...
"Don't rush, take your time in cultivation. Cultivation must not be rushed; you must lay a solid foundation. I believe in you, Yin Mei," Ye Die Die advised. She didn't want A Yin to have any flaws in her cultivation due to rushing it.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to Butterfly Sister," A Yin said, taking in Ye Die Die's words.
"Yin Mei, let me share some insights about cultivation with you. This way, I can also check if I have any flaws and help you in your cultivation," Ye Die Die said, sharing some of her cultivation methods since she began training.
In the following days, she not only helped A Yin in cultivation and chatted with her, but also cultivated a garden full of Spirit Grass.
Spirit Grass was a small plant that Ye Die Die had accidentally discovered. By infusing it with her own spirit, it could grow into a plant after a hundred years of cultivation.
Ye Die Die called this plant Spirit Grass. It could not only replenish her spiritual power when she was depleted, but also enhance her own spiritual power.
These were all part of her upcoming plans, but there was still one very important task at hand.
That task was to create new cultivation methods for the future.
Now that she had become a ten-thousand-year soul beast, the Illusory Butterfly Technique she created when she was a thousand-year soul beast couldn't keep up with her cultivation speed anymore.
She had to create the cultivation methods for the later stages of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, with the help of the Dragon God Technique she had created before.
The process of creation went smoothly for Ye Die Die this time. She didn't encounter many difficulties, but it still required a significant amount of time for contemplation and deduction.
This time couldn't be compensated with experience alone. She had to invest a considerable amount of time into the creation process.
