His condition examined, and Xiao Wu also being resurrected, Tang San calmed down and began to restore his mental strength. Through the little bit of mental strength he could control, he cautiously roused the Seagod’s Light, and then with the Purple Demon Eye cultivation technique through the Seagod’s Light, gathered and slowly fused the fragments of his mental strength.
When he first got the Seagod’s Light he felt this ability was chicken ribs, as if the most it could do was scare those sea spirit beasts and sea spirit masters. But as time passed, Tang San discovered more and more of its marvelous uses. In some sense it was even more important than the Seagod Trident. After all, with his current capabilities, the Seagod Trident also needed the Seagod’s Light to produce its true power.
Tang San used a full three days to completely restore his mental strength, and his body had also recovered on its own accord over the same time, returning to its original condition. Besides missing a few spirit rings and abilities, nothing much had changed. And from a wider perspective, his abilities really hadn’t decreased. Xiao Wu’s spirit bone had been replaced by two even stronger spirit bones, and five spirit rings had been traded for two hundred thousand year spirit rings. Overall, his abilities were even stronger than before.
Faint golden light filled his whole body. Right now Tang San was already sitting cross legged by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, looking as if he was cast in gold, glinting like jewelry.
Tang Hao sat nearby watching his son. Xiao Wu sat next to Tang Hao, her beautiful eyes filled with deep concern. Tang San’s mother Ah Yin’s blue silver emperor body, ever since it was subjected to the Seagod’s Light illumination that day, had grown another third in a short few days.
Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor was inherited from his mother, their blood interlinked. To an ordinary spirit master that Seagod’s Light would only feel bright and warm. If it was evil spirits, they would suffer a powerful attack. But to the constantly growing Ah Yin, it was a like a plant in sunlight. Adding in the connection between Tang San and her, she had obtained the greatest benefits from the Seagod’s Light. Originally the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well treasure ground had been speeding up her cultivation, and after being illuminated by this divine light, Ah Yin’s cultivation had already formally entered the ten thousand year level. To recover to this stage within a few years, reaching the Blue Silver King level, was close to inconcievable.
Only, this was also related to Ah Yin’s history. She had originally cultivated to a hundred thousand year spirit beast, and hadn’t restarted from the lowest level blue silver grass. With the blood of the blue silver emperor, she was naturally familiar with the Blue Silver Emperor’s cultivation methods, and could advance with the simplest and most effective methods. Further being nourished by her son’s blood, plus the assistance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Seagod’s Light, she could recover this quickly. The illusory figure she could condense was already much clearer than when Tang San came here.
Golden light blossomed three times, and withdrew three times, then finally returned to the Seagod Trident brand on Tang San’s forehead, the faint golden light quietly disappearing from all over him. When Tang San opened his eyes, a gem-like light reappeared in his eyes, already back to the appearance he had when he came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
“Dad, mom, Xiao Wu.”
Tang San looked at his parents and lover, that kind of satisfying feeling made him even more excited than his mental strength recovering.
“Ge——”
The rims of Xiao Wu’s eyes reddened again, not minding that Tang Hao and Ah Yin were still right next to her, she fiercely lunged, throwing herself into Tang San’s arms.
Tang Hao turned around with a smile, and Ah Yin’s silhouette also smiling melted back into her main body. They knew that lovers who could finally be together again would definitely have a lot to say.
Tightly holding each other, listening to each others’ heartbeat, whether Tang San or Xiao Wu, their hearts were filled to the limit. For fear of losing the other, neither spoke, just holding each other tightly, as if they would merge together.
Even though it didn’t feel much different from when Xiao Wu was attached to her body before, at that time she still wasn’t truly alive! At this moment, with the real living Xiao Wu in his arms, Tang San felt as if each cell was cheering jubilantly.
“Xiao Wu, I love you.”
Tang San whispered with an almost trembling voice next to Xiao Wu’s ear.
Xiao Wu went a bit rigid, sharply raising her head to look at Tang San. Four eyes met, endless deep emotion congealed. Whether for Tang San or Xiao Wu, this was the day they had waited for far too long.
“Ge…… I love you too.”
Again holding each other closely, their feelings rose once again, and on the middle finger of their left and right hand, the rings made from the Blue Silver Emperor’s threads sparkled. That was their engagement token, and at this moment, they truly felt that they possessed each other.
After so many tribulations, they could finally be together again, but it was also because of so many experiences that their feelings for each other would grow so profound.
Softly kissing Xiao Wu’s forehead, Tang San softly said:
“Little Wu, will you marry me? I’m finally entitled to ask you.”
“I will, I will…….”
Xiao Wu agreed without hesitation, her voice already choked, her eyes already filled with tears, but no longer tears of grief.
Tang San said gently:
“Once we’ve returned to Heaven Dou City and reported to Teacher, I will formally marry you. I will definitely give you a grand wedding, to let the entire world know that you are my wife. Your happiness is the greatest blessing of my life, I will love you all my life, and beyond. Even when the seas run dry and the rocks go soft, until the end of time, I will still never leave you.”
Xiao Wu, choked with emotion, nodded hard. She couldn’t say a word. She had never been as happy as now.
Tang San raised his head and looked at his not distant father smiling at him and Xiao Wu, and pulled Xiao Wu’s hand:
“Before we leave for Heaven Dou City, there are still a few things to do.”
Xiao Wu nestled her head against Tang San’s chest, speaking softly:
“NO matter what you do, I will follow by your side.”
Tang San brought Xiao Wu over to his mother’s enormous Blue Silver Emperor,
“The first thing is to let mom and dad be as happy as us.”
Two giant Blue Silver Emperor leaves curled up, circling Tang San and Xiao Wu. Dense motherly love rippled out from the leaves,
“Children, it’s been hard on you. No matter what has passed, you can finally be together. Cherish each other. Me and your dad will be happiest as long as you are happy.”
Tang San immediately shook his head:
“No, mom, I will let you and dad truly be together like me and Xiao Wu. You’ve suffered more than us. I didn’t have the strength to help you before, to show my filial respect. But now that I’m back, I also believe I have that strength.”
What Tang San said next completely shocked Tang Hao and Ah Yin,
“Dad, I will help restore your right arm and left leg. Mom, I will let you resurrect like Xiao Wu. Even if I’m not absolutely sure of success, my methods definitely won’t harm you.”
Even the experienced Tang Hao whose mood was long since as calm as water, couldn’t keep his expression from changing on hearing this, fiercely leaping over in front of Tang San, grabbing Tang San’s shoulder with his one hand, excited:
“Little San, what did you say? You can bring your mom back to life?”
Tang Hao wasn’t concerned with his own body, but when he heard his son say he could restore Ah Yin’s form, this news really was too exciting. Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s feelings were different from Tang San and Xiao Wu. Besides that never shrinking deep love, there were also a bunch of complex feelings mixed up within. Back then Ah Yin sacri
ficed herself to save him, leaving their son without a mother, and Tang Hao’s guilt towards them was obvious. If someone now told him they could trade his life for Ah Yin’s resurrection, Tang Hao absolutely wouldn’t hesitate.
Originally he had thought he would never see Ah Yin again in his lifetime. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gave him the chance, allowing him to communicate with Ah Yin again, just that was enough to make Tang Hao ecstatic.
If someone else told him they could resurrect Ah Yin, Tang Hao might still have hesitated. This was too important to him, so he absolutely wouldn’t try it without one hundred percent certainty, he never wanted Ah Yin to suffer any harm again. But this came from the mouth of his son, how could he not believe it? Setting aside their family relationship, just Tang San using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to speed up Ah Yin’s recovery gave Tang Hao a miraculously deep trust.
Hearing what Tang San said, Ah Yin was equally excited. She’d always buried the distress over seeing her husband’s lost limbs deep in her heart. She clearly understood that Tang Hao had removed his spirit bones in order to cast away everything else to stay with her. But Ah Yin also understood that Tang Hao still had far too many things he couldn’t let go of. If she could resurrect, if Tang Hao’s arm and leg could be restored, everything would doubtless be perfect.
But, was this really possible? One was missing an arm and a leg, one was a Blue Silver Emperor that had just cultivated to the ten thousand year level. Could Tang San really return them to their peak?
Chapter 266: Blue Silver Domain’s Final Evolution, All Rivers Run Into The Sea
Seeing his parents’ both surprised and disbelieving expressions, Tang San sternly said:
“Dad, mom, listen. I originally didn’t dare be certain either, but resurrecting Xiao Wu has let me realize a lot of the mysteries of spirit cultivation, and even spirit beast cultivation. If I’m not mistaken, dad, in the years you’ve kept mom company, you’ve definitely eaten a lot of medicinal ingredients.”
Tang Hao nodded:
“Those were all found for me by your mother, with the effect of banking up my fundamentals. Adding in that my physical condition was originally quite good, even the injuries from severing an arm and a leg have already completely healed, and my spirit power has returned to rank seventy nine.”
Tang San said:
“Back then, in order to repay the sect, you severed to limbs, and released the sludge in your blood, and at the same time also returned those two spirit bones. Your spirit power was also forcibly reduced by twenty ranks due to losing the spirit bones. But in fact, you still have your ninth spirit ring, just that you can’t use your last two spirit rings due to the lack of spirit power to support them, right?”
Tang Hao said:
“That’s right. But, can severed limbs even be restored?”
Tang San said confidently:
“Why not? The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone ability mom gave me, Wildifre Burns Without End, The Spring Wind Breathes New Life, even though it can’t bring the dead to life or grow flesh from just bone, it’s still enough to regrow severed limbs. After my spirit power reached rank ninety, this spirit bone ability can be fully used. With my mental strength, it’s completely possible to not just use this ability on myself, but also on others. As long as we bring back those two spirit bones you contracted with, I’m at least eighty percent sure I can regrow your limbs. At that time, with an intact body, you can recover to your peak before long through cultivation. After all, even though a portion of your spirit power is lost, the painstaking cultivation back then wouldn’t be wasted. After your limbs are restored and meridians whole, I think, within one year, you could still be the Clear Sky Douluo who made Spirit Hall lose their gall at the sound of the wind.”
Tang San’s words undoubtedly lit a flame of hope in Tang Hao’s heart, but his shiny gaze very soon dulled. Shaking his head, he sighed:
“Little San, did you forget? I returned those two spirit bones to atone for my sins. Putting aside that it would be impossible for the sect to return them to me, even you can’t gain their true approval right now.”
Tang San gave a cold snort,
“Dad, back then when you killed the Spirit Hall people to save mother, did you do anything wrong? That tragedy was because they coveted mother’s spirit ring. Spirit Hall then took their anger out on you, but the sect not only didn’t come to your aid, instead gutlessly choosing to retreat. Who was right and wrong? I’m a junior, I can’t criticize grandfather’s decision. Only, can our Clear Sky School really escape calamity by blindly withdrawing? I’ve never thought you did anything wrong back then. If those sect elders won’t give us their approval, then I’ll just beat it out of them.”
Always in the past, due to his father’s matters and his own encounter with the Clear Sky School, Tang San had never had any good impression of them. Otherwise he wouldn’t have established the Tang Sect alone. When faced with difficulties, the Clear Sky School not only didn’t protect their own, but on the contrary chose to retreat far away, separating from the spirit master world, leading to the tragedy of the four single attribute clans and the Clear Sky School being stricken from the list of the seven great sects, only able to stand on their lonely mountaintop.
Tang San didn’t have enough strength before, and could only endure. But now he had already become a Title Douluo, and also grasped a divine tool like the Seagod Trident. He’d already endured long enough. Those two spirit bones should belong to his father, and his father should at least be an elder within the sect. What his father had lost, he had to return for him.
Seeing his son radiate aggressiveness, though Tang Hao’s face was calm, the gratitude in his eyes was clear to see.
“You’re becoming more and more like me back then. Only, back then I was just impulsive, while you’ve been clever since you were a child. But, little San, whether me or you, we’re both born of the Clear Sky School, our Clear Sky Hammers are inherited from the sect, no matter when, we absolutely can’t betray the sect. This is the bottom line, understand?”
Tang San watched his father with a burning gaze, his eyes expressing respect,
“Dad, I understand your meaning. I’m not talking about betraying the sect, I know you wouldn’t want to see that. Therefore, I will accompany you to return justly and fairly, and have every person in the sect acknowledge your position. Look, what’s this?”
While speaking, Tang San’s palm brushed the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, and in his palm appeared a small golden hammer, a black gem inlaid on either end.
Seeing this hammer, Tang Hao couldn’t keep his eyes from shining, suddenly growing excited, he suddenly grabbed the hammer from Tang San’s hand,
“Little San, hurry up and tell me, where did you get it?”
Tang San said:
“Great grandfather gave it to me. Great grandfather not only gave me this token, but at the same time also the authority that comes with it. I told great grandfather about everything that’s happened in detail, and great grandfather didn’t blame you, even he said you were right. What did you do wrong?”
“Grandfather really didn’t blame me?”
Tang Hao asked in a trembling voice. This kind of iron man’s mood surged to rapidly, clearly showing how important he regarded the sect.
Tang San nodded firmly,
“Dad, great grandfather said it himself.”
Tang Hao tightly held that golden hammer, his eyes suddenly shining with unprecedented light. He roared towards the sky, the intensity making even Tang San take a step back. This roar seemed to contain all the resentment held in Tang Hao’s heart. Tang San saw correctly. Ah Yin was undoubtedly number one in Tang Hao’s heart, but, his loyalty to the sect that had raised him from childhood and given him the name Clear Sky had never waned. The previous sect master was his father, and whether his father had done right or wrong, Tang Hao had never returned to argue it. But at this moment, the strongest of the Clear Sky School, his grandfather had confirmed he didn�
��t make a mistake. To Tang Hao, this approval was even more important than the return of his strength.
Back then he had become dispirited, but now listening to Tang San, the flames of hope reignited within him. He seemed to again see those glories when he represented the Clear Sky School.
Tang San said:
“Dad, once I’ve helped mom recover her human form, we’ll return to the Clear Sky School. To get everything you deserve.”
Tang Hao returned to his senses, returning that golden little hammer back to Tang San,
“This is the authority your great grandfather gave you, you have to care for it well. Little San, you’re really sure you can restore your mom’s shape? There’s absolutely no danger?”
Tang San said:
“Don’t worry, even if I’m not absolutely sure of success, my methods will be beneficial to mom. Even if I can’t restore mom right now, I can definitely enormously cut down the time required.”
“Little San.”
The whole time listening silently to her husband and son, Ah Yin spoke up.
Illusory light sparkled, her beautiful face filled with motherly tenderness,
“You can help me recover, but, mom has a request. When you help me recover, there absolutely can’t be any harm to you. Otherwise, I’d prefer to continue like this forever. While your father has kept me company here these years, he has told me everything about how you’ve grown up. You are a good sensible child. Did you know, both your father and me feel that we deeply owe you. We brought you into this world, but we’ve never fulfilled our duties as parents. You didn’t even have a happy childhood. Mom is already very sorry. If you let yourself be harmed when helping me, mom would never be able to forgive myself.”
