Thinking back to when I was just a small Soul Venerable, Su Yu was filled with emotion.
"Thankfully, I was cautious and smart enough."
Unknowingly, I dodged a tribulation.
Although it's only a conjecture, after performing a thorough analysis of its plausibility, Su Yu felt that this possibility was significant.
The Holy Spirit Sect's development was rapid, contrary to everyone's expectations, and their power was exceedingly strong.
But all of this was achieved through stealth.
While the Holy Spirit Sect did take some actions, their secrecy was exceptionally well-maintained.
Even Shrek Academy only received news of the Holy Spirit Sect's existence in the last decade.
Even though they acted harshly and wantonly, that was only when they unleashed their nature.
Before that, the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect were terrifyingly good at hiding and enduring.
With their headquarters in a place like the Evil Demon Forest, hiding some Evil Soul Masters in places like the Mingdu Mountain Range wasn't a problem.
Not just the Mingdu Mountain Range, even in dangerous places like the Land of the Far North, there might be outposts of Evil Soul Masters.
...
Su Yu didn't linger for long; after dismantling the array on the battlefield, he returned directly to Mingdu.
He also understood that his current strength alone could not deal a devastating blow to all the Evil Soul Masters.
Strength is still everything.
...
"Not following the emperor's path, not being restrained by the Blue Silver Grass, yet it seems I've been influenced by their faith."
Realizing the enhancement of his perception by the Blue Silver Grass, Su Yu also engaged in research.
Prior to this, in Celestial Armor City, due to the Evil Soul Master's array, he didn't conduct a detailed study; now on the journey back to Mingdu, Su Yu spent his leisure time researching.
"I am indeed influenced by the faith of the Blue Silver Grass clan."
However, it seems the faith of the Blue Silver Grass clan leans more towards the bestowal of authority.
"What a magical species."
A vast community of Blue Silver Grass collectively worships an entity, thereby influencing the workings of rules, creating an authority akin to that of an emperor, inducing transformation, and leading the entire species to thrive and prosper.
"However, I don't need this authority."
What can the authority of the Blue Silver Emperor do?
It's quite useless, honestly.
"However, my Martial Soul isn't developing towards the Blue Silver Emperor's direction..."
This authority doesn't seem to be from the Blue Silver Emperor.
Su Yu pondered, stroking his chin.
"Could it be an entirely new authority?"
If that's the case, the Blue Silver Grass species is indeed fascinating.
No wonder in the future, when immigrating to other planets, the first to be transplanted from Douluo Star were the Blue Silver Grass.
It's a magical species.
Their number is vast enough.
Though they lack sufficient spirituality, in the genes of the species is a belief in the strong among the species.
Even without enough spirituality and wisdom, they instinctively uphold the strong in their species.
This vast belief gathers to form an illusory authority.
"I should have received a portion of the faith from the Blue Silver Grass communities of both the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun and Moon Empire."
Born in the Xingluo Empire, contracted with the Sun and Moon Empire's Blue Silver Emperor, converting it into a Soul Spirit, Su Yu himself bears the faith of the Blue Silver Grass across the continent.
"Yet, with a new Blue Silver Emperor emerging, my faith isn't the entirety, but it is certainly the majority."
Su Yu is confident in his strength.
Currently, he is stronger than the new Blue Silver Emperor, hence gathers more faith.
However, due to the evolutionary direction of his Martial Soul, the authority condensed from Su Yu's faith is not that of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Having interacted with the Power of Faith, following the thread, Su Yu vaguely sensed the faith of the Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass are too weak, so weak that even their faith is merely instinctual, unable to contribute true Power of Faith.
This faith is a connection, a collective consciousness of all beings.
Faintly, Su Yu sensed the illusory authority condensed by faith.
"Perhaps, one could create a Divine Position based on this."
However, the authority condensed by the faith of the Blue Silver Grass is too restrictive.
"Continue researching, surely can't become a God in the manner of the Blue Silver Grass's deity, perhaps try modifying and perfecting based on this authority."
...
In the past, Su Yu disliked being restrained, thus he didn't follow the path of the Blue Silver Emperor.
But now he realized that as he grew stronger, even the weak Blue Silver Grass species provided their faith to him, the strong one.
To do something for the Blue Silver Grass?
An idea formed in Su Yu's mind.
In the Sea of Spirit, the "Spirit" character rune faintly emitted a purple halo, with a cyan-green spiritual glow emerging from it.
On the surface of the rune, patterns stretched out.
As the rune got refined, Su Yu, through the "Spirit" character rune, fully connected with that illusory authority.
Using the authority as a bridge, Su Yu formed connections with myriad Blue Silver Grass.
"Although the 'Spirit' character rune's effect is insufficient to have a distinct impact on the entire Blue Silver Grass species at once, with the subtle influence of my Martial Soul Origin, it will indeed have an influence."
The Blue Silver Grass species lack spirituality; even Blue Silver Grass that has reached a hundred-year Soul Beast may not have developed intelligence, their spirituality remains scattered and extremely weak.
Only with the reinforcement of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass can a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass barely gather intellect.
This is the norm for wild-growing Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass under the influence of Su Yu's Martial Soul are exceptions, they are high-quality Blue Silver Grass with the potential to achieve at least a thousand-year Soul Beast!
"Since there is a lack of spirituality, I shall awaken it for you."
Wisdom!
