Tang Hao's actions left Tang San deeply shocked.
Tang San never expected that the mother he had longed to meet all this time would turn out to be a Blue Silver Grass.
"Little San, kneel quickly and pay your respects to your mother."
Tang San trembled in his heart and hurriedly knelt down.
Connecting this to his own Blue Silver Grass spirit, he suddenly realized that the woman his father had fallen in love with was actually a spirit beast that had taken human form.
That Blue Silver Grass gently swayed, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit was uncontrollably released, instantly spreading throughout the entire stone chamber.
Seeing the scene before him, Tang Hao was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Little San, your mother has sensed your presence, she's responding to you."
That Blue Silver Grass suddenly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly extending two more feet.
Tang Hao became even more excited.
In the past ten-odd years, it had never grown this much.
Feeling the presence of his mother, Tang San was also deeply moved.
He knew that any plant nourished by the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could grow at a speed hundreds or even thousands of times faster.
Although Dugu Bo was dead and the immortal herbs in his herb garden might have been looted, that naturally formed Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would not just disappear.
If his mother could live there, perhaps she could regain her form sooner.
"Dad, there's a special spring in Poison Douluo's herb garden. That spring water can boost Mom's growth a hundred or even a thousand times. Why don't we go and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao was pleasantly surprised but quickly calmed down.
"Dugu Bo is dead. That herb garden may already have been taken over by the Spirit Hall."
"Dad, we absolutely cannot let the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fall into Spirit Hall's hands. If they have taken it, then we must destroy it."
Tang Hao nodded.
"You're right. Spirit Hall is our greatest enemy. We must destroy everything they have to avenge your mother and all those who died in the Clear Sky Sect."
"Dad, was my mother also killed by people from Spirit Hall?"
"That's right. Haven't you always wanted to know about my past? Today, I'll tell you everything."
Then, Tang Hao told Tang San about his past in the sect and the events after meeting Ah Yin.
Only then did Tang San understand the story of his parents.
"Dad, so much has happened to you."
Tang Hao let out a sigh.
"I am the sinner of the sect. I caused your grandfather's death and brought Spirit Hall's wrath upon the sect, forcing it to hide deep in the mountains, sealing itself off from the world."
"Dad, do you know where the Clear Sky Sect is located?"
"Of course I do. Though I've always wanted to go back and pay respects to your grandfather, I no longer have the face to return."
"Dad, I am your son. I am willing to bear all the blame with you."
Tang Hao patted Tang San's shoulder and nodded with relief.
"Little San, you have twin spirits and already possess the potential to become a powerhouse. Now, the three upper sects of the Heaven Dou Empire are no longer what they used to be. I hope that in the future, you can shoulder the responsibility of reviving our sect."
"Dad, I will give it my all."
"Good, I believe in you."
Tang Hao turned around, sighed, and continued:
"I have two spirit bones on me that came from the Clear Sky Sect. I originally intended to take them off and have you return them to your uncle at the sect while I stayed here with your mother. But many things have happened in the past year that may affect the sect's survival. I cannot stay out of it."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was filled with sorrow and quickly advised:
"Dad, removing a spirit bone is no small matter. You mustn't do such a thing. Let's return to the sect together and atone for our sins. Who's to say we can't make up for it later?"
"Little San, you're right. Your father won't do something so foolish for now. I must keep this life to deal with Spirit Hall. Once you've obtained your sixth spirit ring, we'll return to the Clear Sky Sect together."
"Okay. Then let's head to Sunset Forest as soon as possible to see if the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is still there."
"Alright."
After speaking, Tang Hao took out a box.
"This was left to you by your mother. Open it and have a look."
Tang San received the box and opened it. Inside was a piece of translucent blue-golden bone. It appeared to be a right leg spirit bone.
Different from ordinary spirit bones, this one seemed to possess life.
Tang San felt an extremely intimate aura, as if it were connected to his heart.
"Father, is this a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone that fell from my mother?"
"That's right. This is a gift your mother left you. Quickly absorb it. Being able to watch you absorb it would certainly satisfy her."
"Okay."
Without hesitation, Tang San sat down to absorb that hundred-thousand-year right leg spirit bone.
The process of absorption was especially smooth. Tang San could feel the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor continuously merging into his body.
After absorbing the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, Tang San's Blue Silver Domain became even stronger, and his strength improved another level, directly breaking through to Rank 60.
Three days later, the father and son set off toward the Sunset Forest.
Since they were unsure whether the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still existed, Tang Hao did not bring the Blue Silver Emperor with them, leaving it in the stone chamber.
A few days later, the two arrived at the Sunset Forest east of Heaven Dou City.
As soon as they reached the center of the Sunset Forest, Tang San sensed something strange.
After Dugu Bo's death, the Snake Poison Formation had also disappeared.
Under Tang San's lead, Tang Hao arrived at the top of an inverted cone-shaped mountain.
Sensing the aura here, Tang San frowned.
"Xiao San, what's wrong?"
"Father, something seems off here. It seems that a major incident occurred."
"Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look. Even if we run into people from Spirit Hall, we won't be afraid."
"Alright."
Tang San leapt toward the valley bottom, and Tang Hao followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the bottom of the valley, the scene before them stunned Tang San.
All the thousands of immortal herbs that had once been there were gone. This was within Tang San's expectations.
What surprised him was that the spring still remained, but it was no longer the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The spring had already become a pool of dead water.
The surrounding shattered rocks were piled up like mountains, clearly showing signs of a fierce battle.
"How could it be like this?!"
"Xiao San, is this what you meant by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Tang Hao asked, pointing at the pool of dead water.
"Yes. But it has already been destroyed. It's no longer the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well it once was."
Tang Hao helplessly shook his head.
"It seems… this is fate. Since that's the case, then let your mother continue living in that stone chamber. As long as I can feel her heart, that's enough."
Tang San's gaze suddenly turned sharp.
"Father, I know another method that could help Mother grow quickly."
"What method?"
Tang Hao's shattered hope rekindled.
Tang San's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
"Two special immortal herbs once grew in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, representing ice and fire respectively. Both of those herbs were consumed by Yan, so his body can be considered a living miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If we can capture him alive, we can use his blood to nourish Mother."
