Wang Li was naturally happy that his strength and Domain had improved. He then opened the "Evolving" interface:
"Lv6 — — > Lv7 Origin of Life (214/320) Emperor's Origin, also known as Blue Silver Affinity (7.68%)."
Wang Li was very satisfied; he was now a big step closer to evolving into a Blue Silver Emperor.
Next was the fifth spirit ring, which was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. Wang Li was very much looking forward to it:
"Spirit Ability: Dream Illusion Realm (When a Dream Illusion Flower blooms, mental force is integrated into the pollen and fragrance, which can penetrate the enemy's body, act on their nerves, and transmit to their divine soul, pulling them into a dream illusion. The longer they are immersed, the smaller the chance of breaking free)."
"Source: Dream Illusion Flower Demon (A rare mental-attribute Spirit Beast among plants, a master of dreams and manipulator of illusions)."
"Age: 28436 (+)."
Overall, Wang Li was very satisfied. A Spirit Beast nearly thirty thousand years old, and a life and mental-attribute Spirit Beast at that, brought him immense benefits.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's voice came over:
"That's good, you made it through. For a while there, your body swelled up like a meatball, which scared me. Xiao Li, for Yan Yan, you can't take risks so casually in the future."
"Also, the Spirit Ability obtained from a Spirit Beast nearly thirty thousand years old must be very powerful!"
Wang Li stood up and explained with a smile:
"Like the Dream Illusion Flower Demon, it can release pollen and fragrance to pull people into a dream illusion. It's a group-control Spirit Ability…"
At this point, Wang Li looked suspiciously at the Dream Illusion Flower Demon's corpse again, feeling something attracting him.
"Grandpa, wait for me!"
As his voice fell, Wang Li walked to the Dream Illusion Flower Demon's corpse and peeled open its giant flower bud. A seven-colored light entered his eyes.
Wang Li's pupils contracted. This was… a Spirit Bone…
This Spirit Bone was a skull bone, presenting a seven-colored glow, and it was still emitting a powerful mental force.
At this time, Dugu Bo also walked over. Upon seeing this Spirit Bone, his pupils also contracted, and he said in shock:
"A Spirit Bone, Xiao Li, you actually encountered a Spirit Bone on your first hunt of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast. I have to say, your luck is really too good."
Wang Li, however, thought to himself, "A dignified Spirit Beast over twenty thousand years old, nearly thirty thousand years old, was hunted by me, a Spirit Ancestor with only four spirit rings. It must be very unwilling, right? And the strong resentment, combined with mental force, resulted in this skull bone. Perhaps that's how it happened."
Seeing Wang Li still lost in thought, Dugu Bo began to urge him:
"What are you spacing out for? Quickly absorb this Spirit Bone. The spirit ring and Spirit Bone from the same Spirit Beast will have the strongest effect when on the same person."
"Don't easily expose it in the future. Once exposed, you must eliminate your opponent. Spirit Bones are already extremely rare, and they will drop directly after being killed. Even with my deterrence, there might still be some who are not afraid of death and choose to take the risk."
Wang Li finally came back to his senses and nodded solemnly:
"Grandpa, I know."
Although it was a Spirit Bone under thirty thousand years old, as a mental-attribute Spirit Bone, its value was even higher.
Wang Li took out the skull bone, sat cross-legged again, placed it on his forehead, circulated his spirit power, and began to absorb it.
The originally solid Spirit Bone gradually turned into a stream of air, like clouds and mist, merging into Wang Li's body.
These clouds and mist seemed to be pure mental force, and after entering Wang Li's body, they were quickly absorbed by him.
Wang Li's mental force had been able to achieve preliminary materialization a long time ago due to the Penetrating Autumn Water Dew, and thus activated his Domain.
With the fifth spirit ring, and having absorbed a life and mental spirit ring, his mental force surged again. Now, combined with this Spirit Bone, which originated from the same Spirit Beast as his spirit ring, his mental force underwent another great change.
His mental force expanded rapidly, as if the formless condensed into the tangible, finally forming countless points of light, flickering on and off, like a star river.
Now, his mental force had surpassed the Spirit King realm, the Spirit Emperor realm, the Spirit Saint realm, approaching the level of an ordinary Spirit Douluo.
"Ha…"
He let out a long breath, then Wang Li opened his eyes, stood up, and shook his head with a sigh:
"It's a bit useless, a bit useless…"
Dugu Bo heard this and asked curiously:
"What do you mean? You're not happy after absorbing a Spirit Bone?!"
Wang Li heard this and naturally explained:
"Of course, I'm happy to absorb the Spirit Bone. My mental force has increased dozens, even a hundredfold. With such vast mental force, my fifth Spirit Ability might even be able to affect Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo powerhouses."
"It's just that the Spirit Bone skill is really a bit useless. Dream Illusion, when one's mental force is absolutely stronger than the opponent's, one can use one's own mental force to invade the opponent's mental force, view memories, fabricate memories, blind memories… confuse the perception of reality and illusion. It doesn't have strong offensive power; it's more of a support ability."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment. Compared to his own head Spirit Bone skill from the seventy-thousand-year Medusa, Medusa's Gaze, Wang Li's head Spirit Bone skill indeed lacked strong offensive power.
Then Dugu Bo comforted him, saying:
"It's not bad. Spirit Bones, compared to spirit rings, are something you encounter by chance. Your strength is already formidable. Although this Spirit Bone didn't give you a powerful Spirit Ability, it greatly amplified your mental force, complementing your fifth Spirit Ability perfectly."
Wang Li could only accept this explanation. Perhaps it couldn't compare to the Grand Soul Master Tournament's prize, the Wisdom Condensing Mental Skull Bone, but with the spirit ring and Spirit Bone coming from the same Spirit Beast, the overall effect was definitely 1+1 greater than two.
Then Dugu Bo exclaimed in admiration:
"You've absorbed the spirit ring, and you've absorbed the Spirit Bone. You are now a true Spirit King. A Spirit King at twelve, almost thirteen years old, this kind of thing can really happen? It's simply outrageous. Let's go, let's head back to the valley first."
Wang Li, however, shook his head and then said:
"Grandpa, you go back first and tell Yan Yan Jie that I'm safe. I still want to continue cultivating in the forest for a while."
Dugu Bo heard this, pondered for a moment, and agreed, saying:
"You hunted a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Beast just like that. The Sunset Forest won't pose any danger to you. Then I'll leave first."
After speaking, Dugu Bo ascended into the air and departed.
As for the original spot, only Wang Li remained. He first stretched, then his gaze swept around.
He summoned his Blue Silver Domain, expanding it with all his might: one hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters, fifteen hundred meters, three thousand meters. After absorbing the Dream Illusion Flower Demon's spirit ring and Spirit Bone, the amplification for Wang Li was terrifying.
With a thought, his spirit power, his aura, and his spirit rings all became hidden. He, like his Spirit, seemed to transform into an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
"Thank you all very much just now!"
Wang Li said, then released his Life Force, giving it to every Blue Silver Grass within his Domain.
All the Blue Silver Grass at this moment swayed only for one person, and that person… was Wang Li…
