Chapter 16 - Tang San Recognizes His Father

Taking a deep breath, Tang San walked forward with heavy steps.The space inside was quite open, with only a sliver of light falling from the ceiling. In the center was a small mound of earth, upon which grew a slender, weak Blue Silver Grass. That was the remaining origin of Ah Yin."Little San, she does not seem to have awakened yet.""Teacher, please help Little San!"Tang San did not even call him godfather anymore, which showed how anxious he was feeling. The connection between his own Blue Silver Grass and his bloodline told him that the weak Blue Silver Grass before him was indeed his mother.Nodding, Tang Chuan released his Forest of Myriad Manifestations. Instantly, Blue Silver Grass grew wildly across the surrounding ground, and before long, the area was surrounded by Blue Silver Grass.Threads of azure light surged continuously toward Ah Yin. Before long, she began to move without wind, swaying as she lifted her large leaves."Child..."Ah Yin's roots stretched forward. To Tang Chuan's surprise and Tang San's shock, Ah Yin's roots wrapped around Tang Chuan's palm."Cough, cough!"Tang Chuan hurriedly probed inside with a sliver of his spirit power, seemingly guiding Ah Yin to wrap around his son.In a moment, Ah Yin's roots wrapped around Tang San again. Unlike just before, Tang Chuan did not feel anything special, but Tang San did."Mother!"Tang San's eyes brimmed with tears. Through the roots, he could feel the longing and concern attached within."Little San, just now, because of my Domain, your mother mistook the person.""It is okay, Godfather, Little San understands!"Tang San did not say much more, but knelt down in front of Ah Yin before Tang Chuan and kowtowed heavily several times.During this time, Tang Chuan looked left and right, discovering a mark on a stone wall. It appeared to be the place where Tang Hao had stored the Spirit Bone.The Blue Silver Emperor grew to form a whip, and Tang Chuan lashed it upward.Clatter!A long black box fell out. From the outside, it appeared unmarked.But Tang Chuan knew this was a lead box used to conceal the aura of a Spirit Bone."Godfather, what is this?"Tang San heard the commotion over here and hurried over to examine it. His mother now seemed to have lost her own consciousness; it appeared she was too weak."This is the Spirit Bone left behind after your mother's sacrifice, a hundred-thousand-year blue silver emperor right leg bone!""A hundred thousand years!?"Tang San's eyes widened. Tang Chuan had taught him about Spirit Bones: head, torso, left and right arms, left and Right Leg Bones, and the rarest external Spirit Bone.Among them, the age of the Spirit Bone corresponded to its relative quality. What was the concept of a hundred thousand years? A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was enough to make a Titled Douluo kill for it, let alone a hundred-thousand-year one.As Tang Chuan opened the lid, an azure light filled the entire stone cave, and the rich aura of life made the surrounding Blue Silver Grass sway involuntarily.The whole body was blue-gold and transparent, covered in vine patterns, with its own soft, vital glow, warm and moist like jade. This was the hundred-thousand-year blue silver emperor right leg bone.Tang San looked at this Spirit Bone, his eyes a bit dull. This was his mother's..."Little San, absorb it. Since it is your mother's, it should be you who absorbs it.""Godfather, I will always remember how you have cultivated Little San. You should take this Spirit Bone!"Tang San waved his hand in refusal. Godfather had sacrificed so much for him, busy cultivating him every day; his own cultivation must have fallen behind. He should let Godfather absorb it."No, Little San, I am your godfather. Only when my own son grows do I, as a father, feel proud and honored. Do not refuse, absorb it now!"Tang Chuan did not pull anymore, but stuffed the Spirit Bone into Tang San's arms, then turned his head away.He naturally did not need the blue silver emperor right leg bone; he already had one, so what else would he need? Besides, even if he did not, this Spirit Bone would only be given to Tang San.How could a teacher snatch his student's things? It was simply improper."Godfather!"Tang San's eyes were covered with tears again. With a plop, Tang San knelt down again and shouted:"Little San has drifted for half a life, only regretting not meeting a wise lord. If Godfather does not abandon me, I am willing to acknowledge you as Little San's father!"Tang San said this with all his heart. Although he had already called Tang Chuan godfather, that was not truly close in the end.In Tang San's view, since both had the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, there must be a blood relationship. Since that was the case, it was very reasonable to be his biological father!The only pity was that Tang San did not know what his mother looked like. If she was good-looking, he might even have the idea of setting up Godfather with his mother."Little San, why go through all this trouble?"Tang Chuan turned his head, only to see that this Tang San had actually called him Father."If Father does not agree, Little San will not get up.""Sigh, child, since that is the case, then you are my, Tang Chuan's, good eldest son!"Tang Chuan sighed, but also agreed to Tang San's request."Father! I will absorb it now!"Tang San heard this, and a flash of ecstasy appeared in his heart. He had a father, and a father who cared for him so much. Tang Hao? Irrelevant! Treating his own mother like that simply violated Tang San's gentlemanly code; it should be spurned by the world!Pressing the blue silver emperor right leg bone onto his corresponding part, instantly, a rich blue-gold halo radiated from inside, and countless phantoms of Blue Silver Grass surrounded Tang San.The fragrance of grass and trees overflowed, and the blue-gold airflow flowed along the skin of his right leg, forming blue-gold patterns.Tang San himself only felt a warm, moist current traveling through his whole body along his thigh, and that life energy continuously washed over his meridians and body.The blue silver emperor right leg bone was also continuously merging with Tang San's body during this time.The energy of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone was very rich. Tang San was only level thirteen, so the absorption time would be very long. This was also why Tang Chuan had prepared many things before setting off.Soon, two days passed.From the outside, Tang San's body was also undergoing changes. The first to bear the brunt was his Blue Silver Grass Spirit.From the faint silver patterns at the beginning, to gradually becoming obvious, the Blue Silver Grass became thick and lush, and the silver patterns on it also turned toward gold.In the end, it stopped at the transition between silver and gold, obviously allowing the bloodline to be stimulated very well.And Tang San himself was also constantly transforming. First was his hair; the original black with a hint of blue changed to a pure light blue.The original azure Blue Silver Grass spirit power on his body also transformed into blue dotted with a little gold.His body had grown a lot. The situation where he might not have been as tall as Xiao Wu before was no more; now Tang San was much taller than her.His appearance was the same; compared to his slightly fairer skin before, it had now become fair and clean.
