Beyond that, Ye Yu had discovered another remarkable function of the Blue Silver Domain's newly evolved ability—Blue Silver Space.
He could now use it as a transfer hub, enabling him to appear at will in any location on the continent where he had previously planted a Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree.
This was, without exaggeration, an overpowered life-saving technique—the kind of escape mechanism every Spirit Master dreamed of.
Unfortunately, these Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees, being manifestations of his Martial Soul, lacked independent consciousness.
If they did, and if Ye Yu could seed the entire Douluo Planet with them to gather faith power, creating a self-sustaining belief network...
Then establishing his own god position?
It would've been effortless.
As Ye Yu walked toward the patch of Blue Silver Grass he had planted long ago near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he simultaneously released his spiritual power, enveloping the whole lush, shrub-like field.
At once, emotional and reverent spiritual voices echoed in his mind:
"The glorious Emperor has returned to us!"
"Children, come, offer your loyalty to His Majesty!"
"All hail the great Emperor! Your kindness shall be remembered for all eternity!"
Despite hearing these sentiments more than once before, Ye Yu still couldn't help but feel... a little awkward.
Emperor?
Loyalty?
Grace?!
Did I accidentally become the material plane's Emperor and the Warp God's avatar all in one?
Still... it did feel kind of good.
"My fellow clansmen, this Emperor has something important to announce."
Ye Yu stood before a vibrant patch of Blue Silver Grass and, via spiritual transmission, informed them of his intention to transplant them all into the Blue Silver Space.
"Rest assured, the Blue Silver Space is the sacred paradise this Emperor created for our Blue Silver Tribe!"
"Inside, you'll have sunlight, air, fresh water, and access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's unique environment."
"Moreover, you'll be able to cultivate alongside me every day and benefit from my presence!"
These weren't empty promises.
As Ye Yu's strength grew, the Blue Silver Space expanded as well—now roughly the size of a small warehouse.
He'd already filled it with rich soil, created artificial ponds, and figured out how to maintain sunlight and rainfall through coordinate-linked Spiritjade Trees.
On top of that, by planting new Spiritjade Trees around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the space could now receive the spiritual energy of this miraculous location.
For the Blue Silver Grass being relocated inside, their conditions would only improve.
"We'll go with the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty! Bring us to the heavens!"
"Take us with you! Long live our glorious Emperor!"
Naturally docile and loyal by nature, the Blue Silver Grass had no doubt in Ye Yu's words and cheered with excitement and reverence.
At that moment, Ye Yu summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul, opened the Blue Silver Space, and transferred the entire field—including Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin—inside.
Then, he used his Martial Soul's division ability to grow several new Blue Silver Spiritjade Trees around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to serve as future channel anchors.
"Xiao Yu, did you just absorb that entire patch of Blue Silver Grass and Ah Yin into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse I gave you?"
Seeing the field suddenly vanish, Dugu Bo couldn't help but gape in disbelief.
Ye Yu smiled calmly.
"No, Grandpa. That's actually a new ability of my Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree."
He then explained the concept of Blue Silver Space.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was once again thunderstruck.
How is this kid's brain built?!
If it were me, I probably would've treated that ability like a glorified storage space!
But he turned it into a portable cultivation realm!
Was this the legendary "knowledge is power" he kept talking about?
After planting a few more Spiritjade Trees to stabilize the connection between the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Blue Silver Space, Ye Yu took Dugu Bo and flew back toward Dugu Manor.
Back at the Manor
After arranging rooms for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan led the two girls on a walk through the estate so they could get familiar with the place.
As a top-tier Spirit Master clan, the Dugu Clan wasn't as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, but they were far from poor.
The manor sprawled across a vast area, boasting numerous courtyards, pavilions, rock gardens, flowerbeds, artificial ponds—you name it.
"Grandpa! You're back!"
As soon as Ye Yu and Dugu Bo descended from the sky, Dugu Yan ran up in joy, followed by Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
But just as he landed, Dugu Bo's eyes landed on Xiao Wu.
His expression changed immediately. That eerily handsome face froze, and his jade-green eyes filled with disbelief.
"T-That's a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit… in human form?!"
"Xiao Yu, did you bring her back from outside?"
Ye Yu nodded.
"Her name is Xiao Wu. She'll be staying here temporarily, so don't harm her."
"Even though she's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, she's far more valuable to me alive than dead."
"In the future, I'm counting on her to use her beast instincts and help me locate rare life-type plant soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest."
Dugu Bo fell silent, then slowly nodded.
He understood Ye Yu's reasoning.
While hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones were priceless, this specific one—Soft Bone Rabbit—didn't suit either Ye Yu or any of their snake-type Martial Souls.
Moreover, life-type plant Spirit Beasts were far more aligned with Ye Yu's cultivation path.
And with Xiao Wu's knowledge of the forest and connections with other beasts, her utility far outweighed her death.
There was no need to "kill the hen that lays golden eggs."
Even so, Dugu Bo still pulled Ye Yu aside and whispered:
"You better not take her out in public. In a place like Heaven Dou City, there are too many people who could see through her identity. And if they do... our clan may not be able to protect her."
Ye Yu simply smiled.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't bring her outside unless necessary. She'll stay in the manor."
Then his expression turned sharp and proud.
"But honestly—"
"On this continent..."
"I doubt there's anyone who dares try and take what belongs to me."
