Sunset Forest!

At this moment, Wang Li, who had been recognized by Tang San as his greatest opponent, had already traversed most of the Sunset Forest. His expression was calm, with a smile on his face.

Currently, his domain, fully expanded, covered a radius of a thousand meters. Not only had his spiritual power increased greatly, but more and more Blue Silver Grasses willingly submitted to his command, actively contributing their strength. In fact, maintaining his domain now consumed no energy at all.

Like a snowball effect, the more subjects he had, the stronger his control over the Blue Silver Grass became.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he became the sole ruler of all the Blue Silver Grass in Sunset Forest.

If there was one regret, it was that he hadn't yet found a suitable plant spirit beast for his fifth soul ring. He held high expectations for this fifth soul ring.

Ideally, it should have an impact on Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo-level powerhouses, enhancing his ability to defend himself.

This significantly limited the types of soul beasts he could consider. Furthermore, his fifth soul ring couldn't possibly be limited to a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

He was the Blue Silver King martial soul, had awakened the Blue Silver Domain, consumed several elixirs, and undergone trials of life and death. Therefore, his fifth soul ring had to be at least 25,000 years old, if not more.

The first reason was for a powerful soul skill, and the second was to obtain more of the essence of life.

Thus, he could not rush this decision...

"Hm?!"

Wang Li was puzzled. Through his perception, he suddenly saw an astonishing scene—an eight to nine thousand-year-old Moonlight Deer, a five to six thousand-year-old Bone-Faced Demon Wolf, and a group of other soul beasts ranging from a few hundred to several thousand years old...

All of them were fast asleep in one spot. They still had a faint life force, so they weren't dead, but no matter what, they wouldn't wake up.

This intrigued Wang Li. Using the Blue Silver Grass' perspective, he peered deeper into the area where these soul beasts rested and finally saw a flower.

The flower had seven colors, brilliant and dazzling, swaying gracefully as if it were the most beautiful sight in the world.

However, Wang Li was stunned:

"A Dreamflower Demon? There's such a plant soul beast in Sunset Forest?!"

The Dreamflower Demon, an extremely rare plant soul beast, wasn't particularly strong in terms of offense, but its fragrance could trap both humans and soul beasts in illusions.

It would evoke the most beautiful desires in the hearts of both humans and soul beasts, making it difficult to wake from the illusion once entranced.

This plant soul beast was not easily found, as the moment one approached, they would inevitably be affected by its fragrance, falling into a dream that would last until death. Without getting close, how could anyone discover its existence?

But now, thanks to his Blue Silver Domain and the numerous Blue Silver Grasses, Wang Li had unexpectedly discovered a Dreamflower Demon.

A surge of joy filled Wang Li's heart. The Dreamflower Demon's hypnotic ability was exactly what he needed—it could influence anyone, regardless of their rank.

Even a Soul Douluo or Title Douluo would have desires deep within their hearts; after all, there's no such thing as a completely desireless person.

As long as it could cause even the strongest of the Soul Douluo or Title Douluo to briefly fall into an illusion, Wang Li could escape effortlessly. Moreover, when facing soul masters of the same rank, it would likely be a formidable weapon.

Thinking this, Wang Li immediately began assessing the Dreamflower Demon's age. From its color and size, it seemed to be at least 25,000 years old, possibly nearing 30,000 years.

It was exactly what Wang Li needed. The only trouble was that the Dreamflower Demon was difficult to approach—it wasn't easy to hunt, and with its spiritual attributes, absorbing its power was quite troublesome.

However, such a rare soul beast had been found by him—was he really going to give up on it?

Absolutely not. Wang Li first confirmed its location, then glanced deeply in the direction of the Dream Flower Demon before turning around and leaving.

...

*The Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eye!*

Wang Li found his mentor, Dugu Bo, who was deep in secluded cultivation. He smiled lightly and spoke:

"Grandfather, I found the soul beast I need for my fifth soul ring, but I feel it might be a bit tricky. I'd like to ask you to come and support me, though I want to try hunting it myself."

Dugu Bo, upon hearing this, became quite curious. Wang Li's chosen soul beasts were always rare and powerful, so his interest was piqued.

"What soul beast is it? How many years old, approximately?"

Wang Li, always meticulous in his approach, answered seriously:

"It's a Dream Flower Demon, at least over 20,000 years old, located in the western part of Sunset Forest, near the Golden Iron Mountain Range."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Dugu Bo furrowed his brow and scolded him immediately:

"Xiao Li, the Dream Flower Demon is a plant-type soul beast with spiritual attributes! And you know that it's a soul beast over 20,000 years old. How could you even consider hunting it?"

"Soul beasts over 10,000 years old possess powerful spiritual energy. Even after death, they leave behind terrifying residual resentment. Most ordinary soul masters need to prepare thoroughly when absorbing a soul ring of 10,000 years. You, however, have the audacity to think of hunting a soul beast over 20,000 years old?"

Wang Li knew that Dugu Bo was looking out for him, but he smiled lightly and said seriously:

"Grandfather, ordinary soul masters would indeed need to prepare carefully, but I am not an ordinary soul master. I've consumed many immortal herbs with the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eye, I have a domain, and my spiritual power exceeds that of a Soul King. That's not all."

"As long as I'm in an area filled with Blue Silver Grass, I can use their power to help suppress the lingering resentment of the Dream Flower Demon. I'm absolutely confident I'll be fine."

Seeing how serious Wang Li was, Dugu Bo still hesitated. After all, this was a soul beast over 20,000 years old—one with spiritual attributes.

Since Dugu Bo hesitated to give his approval, Wang Li added:

"Grandfather, how about this? You come and guard me while I hunt it. As long as I have the strength to kill it, then I'll be able to absorb its soul ring."

Since Wang Li had said this, Dugu Bo finally agreed to let him try. He didn't believe Wang Li, with his 50th-level soul power, could truly kill a soul beast over 20,000 years old:

"Alright, let's go. Be prepared, though. Soul beasts below 10,000 years are vastly different from those over 10,000 years. You need to be mentally ready."

Wang Li was naturally overjoyed. It was the perfect opportunity to test his limits, so he eagerly agreed:

"Got it, Grandfather! I'll be careful!"

Soon, Dugu Bo and Wang Li left the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eye and made their way out. Wang Li returned briefly and then left again, this time accompanied by Dugu Bo. Their departure caught the curiosity of Dugu Yan, who asked:

"Grandfather, Xiao Li, where are you two going?"

Dugu Bo hesitated, but Wang Li answered casually:

"Yanyan, I'm going out with Grandfather to hunt the soul beast I need for my fifth soul ring. Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

He hadn't told the full truth, but he hadn't lied either—no need to worry anyone unnecessarily.

Dugu Yan didn't think much of it and simply reminded them:

"Come back early."

Seeing her reaction, Dugu Bo didn't offer any further explanation. He took Wang Li and flew off into the air.
