This was an emotion he had never felt before. Gradually, he didn't need to release as much spiritual force; every stalk of
Through them, the range Tang San could perceive increased exponentially.
Every stalk of Blue Silver Grass seemed to become his eyes and ears. Probing the outside world with spiritual force was something Tang San could do before, but now, borrowing the Blue Silver Grass's spiritual magnetic field, the area he could "see" could only be described as terrifying.
Right at that moment, without any warning, a voice suddenly echoed in Tang San's mind, "King, great King, is it truly you? You have finally come to me. Thank the heavens."
*King? Is it speaking to me?* Tang San was greatly alarmed. He didn't understand why a voice had appeared in his spiritual world. Meanwhile, standing beside him,
Just as Tang San was immersed in the surrounding Blue Silver Grass's spiritual field, a sudden voice brought him immense surprise. It was actually calling him *King*.
From the originally calm and distant spiritual field of the Blue Silver Grass, a powerful wave of spiritual force suddenly surged forth, rapidly entwining with Tang San's own energy, like two ropes tying themselves together.
"King, please come to me, may you?" The voice seemed to grow more urgent, filled with an intense yearning.
Startled, Tang San opened his eyes and instinctively looked toward his father.
Tang Hao said mildly, "You should have felt it by now. Go. I'll wait here for you. Sometimes, obtaining a Soul Ring doesn't require hunting."
Though Tang San didn't fully understand his father's meaning, he stood up. What greatly astonished him was that even though he wasn't consciously controlling his spiritual force, that powerful spiritual presence remained linked to him, constantly calling out.
Stepping into the forest, Tang San suddenly felt that the threatening aura from Soul Beasts within it had noticeably faded, as if the beasts hiding in the depths had opened a path for him. With his father's assurance, he hesitated no more. He took to the air, swiftly advancing in the direction of that spiritual pull.
Wherever he passed, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground seemed to call out in excitement, swaying gently in rhythm, as if dancing joyfully to welcome Tang San's arrival.
The forest wasn't large, at least nowhere near comparable to the Star Dou Great Forest. But as he entered, Tang San discovered the plants here all seemed ancient, as if they had endured countless long years.
Lofty trees pierced the sky everywhere, their dense canopies so thick that even sunlight struggled to reach the forest floor.
Tang San was certain this must be an ancient forest, but what exactly was the voice calling him?
He was desperate to know the truth, so he moved with exceptional speed. Along the way, not a single Soul Beast obstructed him. He followed the spiritual pull effortlessly.
After rushing onward for about an hour, the spiritual force linked to him became exceptionally clear.
"King, I am here." The mental call came again, carrying excitement and even a hint of tension.
Passing between two ancient trees that would require several people to encircle, Tang San focused his spiritual sense, locking onto a plant ahead. He could clearly feel that the spiritual call was emanating from this very plant.
Slender vines climbed upward, intertwining until they reached about ten meters high. It looked like a special plant formed by countless vines bound together. Its entire body was a clear blue, its surface shimmering with a peculiar luster. Around it, Blue Silver Grass grew with exceptional vigor.
Each vine was as thick as a normal person's waist, over a foot in diameter.
It was swaying slightly. At the center of the vine cluster, where they converged, a mark resembling a human face was visible. At this moment, its expression seemed to be smiling. Smiling at *him*.
This vine cluster gave him a feeling of immense power, an extremely powerful aura released without reservation. From that central face-like mark, intense spiritual ripples surged outward, dancing joyfully around Tang San's body.
The spiritual pull ended here. Tang San had seen plant-type Soul Beasts before, but one with such a formidable aura was a first.
