(nobody's POV)
A month had passed since Ali visited the martial soul hall and spent his time by enjoying the days with Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.
Hu Liena had hunted her 5th martial soul after a few days of searching with Yue Guan and Gui Mei for a suitable soul beast.
Having acquired her 5th soul ring, a decade millennium soul ring, and the energy of the sacred herb that couldn't be absorbed because of not being able to advance, her soul power level directly reached level 56!
The sacred herb gave her 5 level worth of energy once she absorb it, and the soul ring 2 levels. And after absorbing the head soul bone, her soul power level reached level 59!
She was actually able to raise her soul power level by 10 levels in less than a week! To say that she was happy and excited was an understatement.
But Ali told her that because of the sacred herb, her cultivation speed will increase a lot, so she will definitely be able to reach the rank of soul emperor by the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament.
He also got the corpse of the Charming Illusion Fox skinned and turned into a few scarves. But of course, he didn't let Bibi Dong nor Hu Liena knew just how many for now.
And now, he was in standing just outside an ancient forest which seemed to have a lot of blue silver grass.
As he stood there nonchalantly, he looked around at the view :'it should be here. I found his location using my CS powers.
When I found out that one of the peony snakes had actually absorbed a drop of San'qe so it could copy the bloodline to my body, I was really excited.
Blue silver grass isn't anything big normally, but San'qe's true blue silver grass is something completely different.
His blue silver grass is actually the blue silver emperor, the martial soul which was on the same level as the Hao Tian hammer, the strongest tool martial soul!
When the peony snake absorbed San'qe's bloodline, my peony became a hybrid of the Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet and the blue silver grass.
But the blue silver grass is actually the unawakened blue silver emperor, and that was why I was excited.
When San'qe's blue silver grass went through the second awakening, it's strength skyrocketed.
So, once my Purple Black Peony also goes through the second awakening, it will go through earth shattering changes!
Just think about it! The hybrid of the two kings of the plant empire, Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet and Blue Silver Emperor!
And for that second awakening, I needed to come here and meet him. This ancient forest is where San'qe met the Blue Silver King who made his martial soul go through the second awakening.
If I remember correctly, dad told San'qe in the original work to spread his soul power and feel the surrounding through it.'
As Ali took a deep breath, he raised his hand and the Purple Black Peony appeared on too of his hand.
He didn't bother to release the soul rings as he gently spread his soul power to his surroundings.
After a few seconds, he suddenly heard an ancient voice :"my king, is that you? Please follow my voice!"
This was the reason why Ali had come here, so he did as the ancient voice had asked and ran towards where the voice had come from.
Once he arrived at where the voice came from, he saw a thick trunk of vines of blue color with a human shaped face at its center.
Ali knew that this was the Blue Silver King, not just from the appearance, but because of the connection that he felt with him through the blue silver part in his Purple Black Peony :"my king, it is really you! I have been waiting a long time to meet you!"
Ali tilted his head as he looked at him with a raised eyebrow :"who are you? Why do you keep calling me your king?"
The blue vines morph and turn into an excited smile as the old voice came once again :"my king, I am the Blue Silver King. And you, are the person who posseses the blood of the Blue Silver Emperor!"
Ali pursed his lips a little :"the blue silver king?" The old human face nodded :"yes, but even if I am called the king, you are still the true emperor."
Ali folded his arms after taking back his martial soul :"what do you mean by that? Can you please explain?"
The Blue Silver King nodded with a patient and excited smile :"yes, king. Your mother was actually the 100'000 years old Blue Silver Emperor, sigh, but she has passed away and you are the one who has inherited her bloodline, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline!"
Ali had to act a little so he wouldn't seem suspicious, so he raised his hand with a shocked face and summoned the Purple Black Peony as he looked at it :"the Blue Silver Emperor? But this martial soul of mine is just a mutation of the ordinary blue silver grass."
The Blue Silver King nodded as he explained patiently :"king, that's because your martial soul needs to go through a second awakening.
There are other ways to go through the second awakening, but most of them require one to go through a painful process. But with my help, you wouldn't need to undergo through any pain at all!"
Ali looked at him with a slightly shocked and surprised face :"then, may I ask you to help me awaken it?"
The Blue Silver King gave a sharp nod with a determined face :"yes, king! It would be my honor! May I ask what your name is?"
Ali smirked as he looked at him :"Ali. That is my name. It means Majesty." The Blue Silver King smiled as he asked :"truly deserving of our king. Great king, when you awaken your martial soul, do you wish to forever shelter your subjects?"
Ali brought his hands to his ides as he straightened his back with an extremely serious face :"I am willing."
Two drops of tears fail from the human face of the Blue Silver King :"after so long, we can finally feel your presence, we are no longer motherless children. Your majesty, please sense your subjects' worship!"
As he finished his sentence, every single blue silver grass in the ancient forest lit up and and small, ball shaped blue lights exited them.
The uncountable number of blue lights from all around the forest surrounded Ali and fell on him.
But even though most people would probably panic a little, he wasn't alarmed at all. For her could feel the warm feeling that these lights gave him.
He could clearly feel the unconditional love and affection from these blue silver glasses. This feeling, only one thing could compare to.
A feeling that he has long missed and forgotten. The feeling of a mother's embrace. Though he hadn't felt it for over a decade, it was still something that was embodied into his soul.
Feeling the love that he had missed so much, a soft expression formed on Ali's face as small tears gently slid down his face while the blue lights actually made him float.
The feeling was comfortable, so comfortable that he simply just enjoyed the long lost feeling while the blue lights were absorbed into his body.
But he didn't notice that the Purple Black Peony was released on its own and the blue lights after a while condensed together around him and formed another red soul ring!
He had already fallen sleep from how comfortable the sensation was, so he didn't notice the changes that were happening to his body.
Such as his snow white hair getting longer and longer once again before reaching even lower than his waist and nearly to his hips.
His already perfect face became even more handsome than before as his snow white skin took on a healthy shade of pink.
Ali fell into a deep slumber on top of the blue silver grasses that had formed a bed under him. He could only have sleeps this comfortable when he was sleeping with Bibi Dong and his other lovers.
(Ali's hair):

After an unknown amount of time, Ali's eyes slowly fluttered open as he laid completely comfortable on the bed of blue silver grasses.
He gently brought his hand up and covered his eyes as the brilliant light of the sun brightened the sky.
Ali slowly got up with a satisfied smile as he stretched his arms out of habit and yawned :"that was one great sleep."
His eyes had also changed. The one on the left and become half dark purple and half blue. But his right eye had remained the same blood red.
As the still bubble Ali blinked his eyes, he looked down on the ground when he felt a soft and silky feeling.
He smiled gently when he saw that his hair had actually gotten even longer. As he felt it, he smiled at the silky and smooth sensation :'haha, the girls will definitely like playing with my hair from now on.'
As he saw the Blue Silver King looking at him with a gentle smile of an old man, he got up as he smiled back :"thank you for your help. I feel a lot stronger."
The Blue Silver King nodded :"great king, it was an honor to assist you to awaken your blood and martial soul, you don't need to thank us.
But your majesty, you have greatly surprised me. I knew at first glance that you are incredible talented and your mutated martial soul is very strong, but I couldn't have imagined that the soul ring we have had the honor of giving you would be a 100'000 year soul ring! As expected as your majesty!"
Ali smiled as he chuckled :"yeah, I'm kinda... A special case. But really, thank you for your help, all of you. I can feel that me and my martial soul have gotten a lot stronger."
The old face of the Blue Silver King bowed a little with a small smile :"you are welcome, your majesty. But it seems that a soul ring wasn't the only thing that we had the honor of gifting you."
Hearing him, Ali focused on his body as he searched for anything new. And he smiled when found it.
As he released it, a clean, snow white crown appeared on his head with purple black gems on it!
On top of the purple black gems, there were also two kinds of gems, blue gems and purple black gems.
Ali opened his eyes with a smile as he created a floating ice mirror and looked at himself :"who could've imagined that I would get an external soul bone this time?"
'and these skills... They are just something else. Majesty's Domain: a domain type ability where anything in the range of 20'000 meters, the same as my Purple Black Peony's range, will have a decrease of 10% for every martial soul I have and my allies will have a 10% increase for every martial soul I have. No matter the level and the cost of the soul power won't change... Shit, that's overpowered.
I have 4 martial souls, that means that I can even weaken a god by 40% if I wanted to in this domain.
This skill is a really overpowered domain. But the second skill is really just something else. Majesty's grace: basically, I can summon a soul ring which I can increase the age of for the maximum of my own soul rings' age.
This soul ring then can be absorbed by anyone I want without them suffering at all. Meaning that I can just bestow a 200'000 year soul ring to someone. This is way too cool to be true, I can just make my harem overpowered as well from now on!'
All of the blue silver grasses seemed to how towards him as the trunk of the Blue Silver King also bowed :"your majesty, I hope that you are satisfied with our gifts."
