Tang San examined the cloud tree incarnation in his arms, noticing that her energy was different from the transformed energies of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. She felt tangible, like a real infant.
Yet, the cloud tree still stood tall, indicating she hadn't fully transformed.
"Your guess is correct. The cloud tree does indeed have the effect of turning illusion into reality," Electrolux suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with amazement. "Drawing power from the earth and light from the stars, and utilizing the energy between heaven and earth, she materializes spiritual power... this is undoubtedly mastery over the power of creation. For the cloud tree, this ability is instinctual."
"It's a pity that while this form faces the tribulations of soul beasts, the cloud tree lacks any offensive capabilities. Her defenses, though decent, are insufficient against the destructive lightning."
Tang San held the cloud tree incarnation with a solemn demeanor, saying, "I've come here to obtain a spirit ring. I ask you: are you willing to sacrifice yourself for me and witness the future together?"
"I am willing!" Without hesitation, the cloud tree incarnation flew up, her physical body dissolving into energy, emitting a bright silver-white light that enveloped the entire cloud tree.
At this moment, all the nearby cloud trees began to sway, their dense leaves rustling as if bidding farewell to the king of the White Cloud Forest.
The nine-layered cloud crown sequentially fell off, but instead of dropping to the ground, it transformed into nine silver-white rings encircling the bare trunk.
Under the rhythm of the nine rings, the trunk melted away like metal in flames, gradually dissipating into golden light spots that converged at the center, forming a silver-white orb.
Buzz—
At that moment, the leaves of all the cloud trees in the White Cloud Forest began to fall, turning into pure white energy, pouring into the silver-white core.
The entire White Cloud Forest's cloud trees were contributing their energy!
Thirty seconds later, the once beautiful and dreamy forest had become a desolate and eerie place.
At this point, the nine silver-white rings merged into the silver-white core, bursting with a touch of blood-red light, finally forming a blood-red spirit ring!
However, unlike the usual crimson hue of a 100,000-year spirit ring, this one had nine silver-white streaks, with golden lines on both the inner and outer edges.
The Blue Silver Emperor emerged automatically, and the spirit ring seamlessly merged.
The absorption of the sixth spirit ring began—
Tang San activated his three techniques: Mysterious Heaven Skill, Cosmic Meditation, and Jade Bone Gold Body Divine Technique, swiftly refining the energy within the spirit ring. He combined the cloud tree's soul bone essence with her spirit, driven by immense vitality, transforming her into a spirit like Wu Lin and Wu Tong, even more realistic.
Within half an hour, Tang San had absorbed all the energy within the spirit ring. With the forest's augmentation, the cloud tree's spirit ring reached a level of 200,000 years!
Thus, Tang San's spirit power instantly advanced to level 62.
Compared to others, Tang San's spirit power was greater in both quantity and quality. For an ordinary person, absorbing a 200,000-year spirit ring at the Spirit Emperor level would elevate their power to at least level 65; for Tang San, it was only level 62.
The effect of his abundant and high-quality spirit power meant Tang San could fight beyond his level. Now, he could confidently face any Titled Douluo below level 95.
If he used the power of ring fusion, Tang San estimated he could contend with a level 99 Peerless Douluo, even having an edge in burst power.
His first spirit ring granted the Blue Silver Grass the ability to draw strength from the earth; the second, the power to produce seeds; the third, the capability to absorb light for growth and evolution, displaying its true form as the Blue Silver Emperor through the Golden Ancient Tree's vitality.
The fourth spirit ring came from the Nine-Deaths Resurrection Grass, providing a "resurrection" spirit ability, allowing the Blue Silver Emperor to regenerate from detached leaves once they touched the ground.
The fifth spirit ring, from the fusion sacrifice of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, added ice and fire attributes, essentially giving the Blue Silver Emperor a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In summary, each of Tang San's spirit rings enhanced the Blue Silver Emperor's foundation, with their abilities complementing each other perfectly.
The sixth spirit ring was no exception.
As Tang San had surmised, the cloud tree wielded a sliver of the power of creation. With its spirit ring, the Blue Silver Emperor could truly be planted in the ground and exist permanently.
As long as Tang San's spirit power was sufficient, he could manifest multiple Blue Silver Emperor plants.
Moreover, Tang San discovered that these manifested Blue Silver Emperors acted like external brains, capable of storing his spiritual power. To put it more aptly, they functioned like signal stations, perfectly receiving his spiritual power.
After all, this was his martial soul.
"Isn't this a spiritual power network?" Tang San exclaimed, a multitude of insights bursting in his mind—
As a Soul King, he could project his spiritual power into ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but the grass was too fragile, consumed too much spiritual power, and lacked sufficient soul power. These factors made Tang San abandon the idea after a few attempts, focusing instead on cultivating his spiritual power.
Unexpectedly, after obtaining the cloud tree's spirit ring, the Blue Silver Emperor could materialize and be planted. Its rooted range was similar to his first spirit ability, and it required no extra soul power for maintenance.
When he was injured or low on soul power, these planted Blue Silver Emperor martial souls would actively repair and replenish him.
If the entire continent were planted with these materialized Blue Silver Emperor martial souls, their interconnected roots would mean he never had to worry about soul power depletion!
This was essentially a super-enhanced version of his first spirit ability: Endless Restoration.
More crucially:
Once established, this would be a Blue Silver Emperor version of a spiritual power network!
If he and Electrolux could uncover the fundamental reason for spiritual power manifestation within it and make minor adjustments, could others also enter this network?
Could they create a virtual world within the Blue Silver Network in the future?
"What a bold idea!"
Electrolux, stunned, tugged at a tuft of his beard, then leaned in closer. "In your previous life's world, devoid of extraordinary powers, the virtual world in computers, no matter how realistic, was still just illusionary data, unable to influence the physical world. But here, with soul power, spiritual energy, and faith, if the Blue Silver Network is built, a virtual world could be created. Catalyzed by collective thoughts and beliefs, and powered by soul power, spiritual energy, and the energy of the heavens and earth, it might truly be possible to create a world existing in another dimension!"
"This world would be a true plane, not just a material realm like a planet!"
The more Electrolux spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see Tang San's future act of creation!
He, the Holy Necromancer, the god of Death, could definitely be part of it!
Although he had a demiplane, it was just that—a demiplane, not a fully-fledged necromancer's world. But in the near future, he would join Tang San in—
Creating a true world!
It was incredibly exhilarating!
As for his demiplane, it could currently only serve as a gigantic storage space, but perhaps it could be integrated into that virtual world in the future.
Who knows, they might even create their own divine realm!
As for the divine realm above Douluo Continent?
Once they found the spatial passage and coordinates connecting the divine realm to Douluo Planet, they could sever the connection and erase the coordinates.
The universe is constantly in motion. Without a passage or coordinates, the gods wouldn't even be able to sense their "signal stations" (inheritance sites) in the lower realm. When the divine realm eventually found Douluo Planet again, it would be millions or even billions of years later.
"Even if it's possible, that's a far-off future," Tang San took deep breaths to calm his excitement and released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul—
