The three of them made their way toward the outermost edges of the Star Dou Forest. Blue Silver Emperor and Soft Bone Rabbit walked ahead, arms linked, while Lin Yongming followed closely behind.

"Little brother, thank you for helping my sister," Xiaorou said, finally speaking to Lin Yongming directly.

"No, I should be the one thanking Sister Ah Yin. Without her, I wouldn't have made it to the Star Dou Forest, let alone found a suitable soul ring," Lin Yongming replied sincerely.

"And besides, I also have to thank you for saving us just now, Sister Xiaorou."

"You have a good personality, little brother. But from what I can see, you're quite young, yet already at the twenty-fourth rank of soul power. Were you born with innate full soul power? Which sect are you from?" Xiaorou asked in a gentle yet probing tone.

"Sister, you flatter me. While I was indeed born with innate full soul power, I'm just a child from a small village of less than a hundred households. Perhaps my natural blindness was Heaven's way of compensating me with this talent."

Hearing Xiaorou's cautious questioning, Lin Yongming quickly realized that she was far more vigilant than Blue Silver Emperor. She must have suspected that he had approached them with ulterior motives.

"I can see that even at your young age, you're a brave one. Back when we were facing the jungle wolves, you even shielded my sister behind you," Xiaorou continued.

"Sister, I'm not that weak! It's just that Blind Little Brother had a soul skill that could knock back the wolves, and we planned to keep running. But then you appeared with your Teleportation skill," Blue Silver Emperor quickly argued, prompting Xiaorou to shoot her a side glance.

"That was indeed the plan," Lin Yongming confirmed with a nod.

They chatted as they walked, eventually reaching the forest's edge and passing by a familiar inn before arriving at a fork in the road.

Xiaorou looked at the split in the road and said, "Little brother, this is where we part ways. My sister hasn't been home in a long time, so it's time for her to return."

Lin Yongming clasped his hands respectfully. "Thank you both. It was truly a pleasure meeting you on this journey."

"Blind Little Brother, are you sure you'll be okay traveling back to Ulto Town alone? It's quite a distance. Do you want me to escort you?" Blue Silver Emperor asked with concern.

"No need, Sister Ah Yin. I can manage on my own. You should go home with Sister Xiaorou."

"Then I'll come find you later. What's the name of your village?" Blue Silver Emperor asked quickly.

"Five miles past the Water Pool Encounter, Lei Yu Village," Lin Yongming answered.

"Besides, as long as we're walking the same road, we're bound to meet again someday."

"Farewell." Lin Yongming said, then turned toward the sunlit road and continued forward.

"Hey! Don't go picking up any bad habits from those noble brats! See you!" Blue Silver Emperor called after him.

Xiaorou gave her an exasperated look. "You're really that attached? He's just a kid. How old are you again?"

"I just think Blind Little Brother is pretty interesting," Blue Silver Emperor replied with a smirk.

Xiaorou sighed. "He's an innate full soul power talent. If he really does belong to a sect, getting close to him could be dangerous for you. Sooner or later, your identity will be exposed."

"But looking at you now… you've reached Rank 39 already. I guess you've been interacting with humans quite a bit. You haven't gone into any big cities, have you?" Xiaorou asked with concern.

"No. For years, I've only moved between small towns and villages. In the villages, you won't even find a Soul King-level soul master, so I was never at risk of being discovered," Blue Silver Emperor replied.

"That's good. If you ever want to go into a big city, you need to at least reach the Mature Stage, or you'll always be in danger of being exposed."

"It's not easy for us," Xiaorou sighed.

"Come on, let's go back to my place," she said as they both turned and re-entered the Star Dou Forest.

"How long will we be staying this time?"

"Until I break through to Soul Sect."

The Fate of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts have two choices:

Remain a beast and undergo Heaven's Tribulation every additional 100,000 years. If they survive, they continue evolving, aiming for the fabled Million-Year Rank.

Transform into a human, resetting their cultivation entirely.

If they choose the human path, their cultivation is divided into three stages:

Infant Stage (Rank 1–60)

Mature Stage (Rank 60–90)

Divine Transformation (Rank 90–99)

The Infant Stage is the most dangerous. A Soul Douluo with keen senses might detect their beast aura, and a Titled Douluo would recognize them immediately.

Upon reaching the Mature Stage, their aura fully integrates with human energy, making it undetectable—even by Titled Douluos.

Once they reach the Divine Transformation stage, they may have the opportunity to reach Rank 100, ascend to godhood, and gain eternal life.

Back in the depths of the Star Dou Forest, a small wooden hut stood among towering trees. Two massive soul beasts lounged in the sun nearby.

At the door of the hut, a tiny, pink-furred rabbit hopped about energetically. The scene was tranquil—though to human eyes, it would have seemed bizarre.

"Aunt Ah Yin!" the tiny rabbit suddenly spoke in a crisp voice.

"Ah! Xiao Wu, you've grown! Come, let me hug you. Your fur is so soft!" Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed excitedly, her eyes lighting up as she scooped up the little rabbit.

"How much longer until you can take human form?"

"Hmm… many more years, I think. Is the human world fun? Are human soul masters as cruel as they say?"

"It depends. There are good ones and bad ones—just like how some soul beasts are evil, like that sinister Dark Tiger."

"You two keep chatting. I'm going to grab a bite," Xiaorou said with a warm smile as she walked into the hut.

Meanwhile, Lin Yongming was making his way home alone.

Since he had memorized the route, he wasn't worried about getting lost.

There were no carriages available, so he had no choice but to walk. However, instead of simply walking, he used the time to train his soul power.

"They say 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.'"

Lin Yongming traveled swiftly with his soul power-enhanced speed. Whenever he ran low on energy, he would stop, meditate, and recover.

Along the way, many travelers noticed him—a strange young boy with a black blindfold making his way down the road.

At the Spirit Hall Branch in Ulto Town, a man named Xu Qing arrived at a rural home.

"Is this Lin Yongming's residence?"

A woman named Ying Lan, Lin Yongming's mother, stepped up to the fence.

"Yes, I'm Ying Lan, Ming'er's mother. May I ask why you're looking for him?"

Xu Qing frowned. "Where is Lin Yongming?"

"Ming'er left the village three days ago. He said he was going to ask Spirit Hall for help in hunting a soul beast," Ying Lan explained.

Xu Qing's expression darkened. "Damn. He didn't return to the village that day… He must've gone to the Soul Beast Forest instead. That was reckless!"

Without hesitation, Xu Qing rushed out of Lei Yu Village, heading back to Ulto Town.
