Chapter 69 The New Sunset Forest (First Update)
As far as the eye can see, there is only a vibrant blue!
The towering tree, its trunk as if carved from the purest blue crystal, exudes a warm luster, and its canopy is enormous with lush foliage.
Each leaf is like a fine sapphire, shimmering with a dreamlike glow under the sunlight filtering through the trees.
Beneath the trees stretched rolling grasslands, like a blue velvet carpet, all covered in blue silver grass.
The vines twined between the tree trunks and rocks, some hanging down like curtains; they were also blue silver grass.
Further away, blue bushes can be faintly seen.
The light here seems much softer and brighter than elsewhere, full of tranquility, peace, and vibrant life, like a blue fairyland independent of the world.
Today, Sunset Forest is a true kingdom of blue-silver plants, and the scenery is the same everywhere – blue.
Green has been almost completely replaced by blue.
"Wow—this—here—"
Ning Rongrong was so overwhelmed by the dreamlike scene before her that she was somewhat incoherent. She subconsciously gripped Lin Qiyue's hand tightly beside her.
"Brother Lin, these blue plants look just like the ones in the academy! They're all blue, it feels so familiar and comforting!"
Lin Qiyue let her hold his hand, a gentle smile on his face, his gaze sweeping over the Blue Silver Forest, which he had personally created and which was now quite large.
"Yes, they are all of the same kind, or rather, they come from the same source."
"From the same source?"
Ning Rongrong turned her head curiously, blinking her big eyes.
"Yes, they all evolved from Blue Silver Grass."
Lin Qiyue stated this fact, which sounded almost like a fantasy in the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent, in a calm tone.
Unlike the Blue Silver Grass of Ah Yin's faction, perhaps it's because of Little Blue.
All subsequent Blue Silver Grass evolved in the same direction as her.
Evolve towards the direction of the Blue Silver Ancient Tree.
Who could have imagined that Blue Silver Grass would one day dominate an entire forest and become its true ruler?
You should know that Blue Silver Grass used to be a real weed, used as pig feed.
"Blue Silver Grass?!"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.
"Those common, ubiquitous blue silver grasses? How could they transform like this?"
She pointed to the towering trees around her, which resembled works of art made of blue crystal.
It's really hard to associate them with the delicate blue silver grass that I remember by the roadside, so fragile and easily broken; they seem to be completely different species.
Lin Qiyue smiled slightly and led her slowly into the depths of the forest, the soft blue-silver grass under their feet providing a comfortable touch.
"Rongrong, don't underestimate Blue Silver Grass. Although they are found in almost every corner of the continent and are the most common and basic plants, it is precisely because of this that they possess the most tenacious and vigorous vitality among almost all plants."
He casually brushed aside a hanging blue vine, which affectionately rubbed against his palm.
"The strength of vitality does not entirely depend on the starting point of an individual. Blue Silver Grass may seem weak, but its survival ability, adaptability, and reproductive capacity are unmatched by many so-called high-level plant spirit beasts. When they gather together, when their years accumulate under specific conditions and undergo a qualitative change, and then with the right guidance and evolutionary direction—"
He stopped and pointed ahead to a blue sea of grass that undulated like waves in the breeze.
"They can then present you with this incredible sight. Every single blue silver plant here contains a vitality far beyond your imagination."
Ning Rongrong nodded as if she understood, though she couldn't fully grasp it yet, but it sounded very impressive.
Even just standing in this forest made her feel more comfortable than anywhere else she had ever been.
"And they're all quite old."
Lin Qiyue added.
Ning Rongrong then carefully sensed the surrounding plants and indeed discovered that the soul power fluctuations emanating from them were gentle yet incredibly powerful.
She was speechless, gaining a completely new understanding of the words "Blue Silver Grass".
The two continued onward, passing through a lush thicket of blue and silver bushes, when their view suddenly opened up.
In the relatively open forest clearing ahead, ten particularly large and slightly different blue-silver ancient trees stood quietly like ten towering blue giants!
They were slightly taller than the one in the center of Blue Silver Academy, with canopies that almost blocked out the sun, and thicker trunks that shimmered with a deep blue aura.
A powerful vitality and an underlying pressure emanated from them, making the surrounding air feel exceptionally heavy.
They seemed to be connected in some mysterious way, their energy subtly linked, forming an invisible force field that made this area the core of the entire Blue Silver Forest.
"These trees—"
"Could they all be 100,000-year-old soul beasts like the one in the academy?!"
Ning Rongrong was genuinely surprised.
Lin Qiyue nodded calmly, confirming her guess.
"That's right."
"Ten?! And all of them are 100,000-year-old soul beasts?!"
Ning Rongrong was speechless, covering her mouth with her small hand, feeling her worldview, which she had built up over the years, crumbling piece by piece.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is a being that stands at the pinnacle of soul beasts; there are very few known to exist on the entire continent.
But here, right in Brother Lin's backyard, ten trees were planted, just like trees!
Okay, so it really is about planting trees.
No, if you include the one in the college, that makes eleven!
Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, which are extremely rare even on the main continent, don't seem so rare here.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's adorable expression of shock, almost petrified, Lin Qiyue couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Surprised? Rongrong, the continent is vast and full of wonders. While 100,000-year-old soul beasts are rare, they are not as rare as you imagine. It's just that most of them hide in dangerous, remote places, or possess extremely high intelligence and are good at concealing themselves."
He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dense blue canopy of trees, reaching towards the boundless sky.
"This continent is far more vast and mysterious than what you see before you. Secrets hidden in the dust of history, powerful beings lurking in the treacherous peaks of the deep sea, strange races and life forms far beyond the comprehension of the world—there are many, many more."
"When you are strong enough and have a broad perspective, you will naturally be able to see a wider and more wonderful world. At that time, you will understand that a 100,000-year-old soul beast may just be a footnote in this grand chapter."
Ning Rongrong listened intently, the shock in her eyes gradually replaced by a strong curiosity and longing.
Lin Qiyue's words were like opening a door to a completely new world for her. The scenery behind the door was bizarre and wonderful, far beyond her previous understanding.
She also wanted to see the world behind the door!
