Chapter 135: Where Is My 100,000-Year Soul Bone? Find a Teacher for Tang San!
While Tang San was packing, Tang Xiao went to the back mountain of Holy Soul Village and released his mental power, carefully scanning every corner. After a short while, his brows furrowed.
Where is the 100,000-Year Soul Bone?
Didn't Tang Hao say he buried Ah Yin's 100,000-year Soul Bone nearby?
Why isn't it here?
Suddenly, Tang Xiao noticed a spot where the soil had been clearly disturbed. Walking over, he saw that the traces of disturbed earth were still very fresh, and his gaze instantly sharpened!
Someone has been here!
Someone had gotten there first!
But before Tang Hao was captured, he should have only transmitted a message to him, right?
Could it be that Tang Hao's transmission was intercepted, and someone came and took the Soul Bone before him?
What about Ah Yin? Tang Xiao's heart instantly felt a little flustered. He quickly went to a nearby cave, its entrance covered with Blue Silver Grass, but he didn't see that one special Blue Silver Grass!
Could Ah Yin also be in danger?
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger. He wished he could have come a little earlier. His 100,000-Year Soul Bone!
As for whether Ah Yin was still alive, Tang Xiao had long since stopped caring much. After all, so many years had passed, and Ah Yin was already Tang Hao's. She wasn't that simple!
It's just that now, without the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone as compensation and having to bring Tang San to the Clear Sky Sect, it felt like a loss.
Moreover, he didn't know if the Martial Soul Tang San would awaken as Blue Silver Grass or Clear Sky Hammer in the future. The risk was quite high.
Having not obtained what he wanted, Tang Xiao began to weigh the pros and cons.
After all, Tang Hao might already be dead, and a dead person has no value; any adult understands this.
Furthermore, if he truly cared about Tang Hao, with his strength, he could have been an autocrat and completely ignored the Elders. But he still listened to them—what does that show?
Their relationship wasn't very close; after all, the age difference was significant, and there was likely some estrangement.
However...
Tang Xiao thought, since he had already come and met Tang San, he couldn't just abandon him now, could he?
No matter what, he would wait until Tang San was six years old to see what his talent was like.
Tang Xiao slowly walked back to the wooden house from the back mountain, step by step, contemplating how to handle Tang San.
Soon, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Tang San had lived with Tang Hao in such a remote and backward village since he was young, so he should yearn for the outside world. And returning to the Clear Sky Sect would mean continued seclusion in a closed environment—probably not what Tang San wanted.
Tang Xiao took Tang San to the nearest town outside the village, hired a carriage, and began their journey.
Inside the carriage, Tang Xiao first explained some basic knowledge about Martial Souls, the distribution of powers across the continent, especially the major sects—the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—as well as the Two Great Empires and Spirit Hall.
After speaking for a while, Tang San's eyes gradually lit up. Was this world really so colorful?
He also felt that this world was somewhat similar to his previous one—except that it had an extra Martial Soul.
And his Mysterious Heaven Skill was like the cultivation method used by Soul Masters in this world, but with more advanced functions.
"Uncle, after we return to the Clear Sky Sect, will there be anyone who understands Martial Soul theory well? Can he teach me? I want to lay some foundation before I turn six."
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment and shook his head. "There aren't many who are particularly skilled in Martial Soul theory, and our sect has been secluded for quite some time. Those theories have been updated over the years, more or less."
Most of the people in the Clear Sky Sect focused on Cultivation, and they also practiced blacksmithing to improve their proficiency in the Clear Sky Secret Method. Their understanding of Martial Soul and Soul Beast knowledge was only superficial enough for their needs.
What Tang Xiao said wasn't wrong. After all, to master the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, the best practice was blacksmithing. This skill was created by his grandfather for blacksmithing, and only later developed into a Soul Skill.
The soul rings that the Clear Sky Hammer needs are generally of the strong attack type. Those Soul Beasts that look very powerful are suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer to absorb.
Since the Clear Sky Hammer is a Weapon Martial Soul, compared to Beast or Plant Martial Souls, the attributes and suitability of the soul ring are less critical.
The Clear Sky Sect emphasizes strength!
They only need to know which Soul Beasts possess great power or strong defense.
However, since Tang San wanted to understand things more comprehensively, he felt that someone very suitable for him existed. After all, that person's cultivation had reached its limit in this life, so he could only study theoretical knowledge—he had plenty of time.
"Yu Xiaogang!"
It just so happened that Yu Xiaogang had studied a lot of theoretical knowledge from Spirit Hall in the past, and with years of dedicated research, even if he wasn't the top theoretical Grandmaster on the continent, he was definitely among the best.
"I know someone who currently lacks a disciple. Since you want to learn theory, he is the most suitable. But in that case, you won't be able to return to the Clear Sky Sect."
"This time, our sect has offended Spirit Hall. After we return, we will close the sect to prevent attacks from Spirit Hall. To be honest, we are a bit unable to protect ourselves. And if you go to that place, you might even be safer."
"Where?" Tang San didn't really care where he went—after all, in this world, his only relative was Tang Hao.
He had just reconnected with Tang Xiao, and their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.
And don't think that just because he was young, he couldn't tell that Tang Xiao probably didn't want him to return to the Clear Sky Sect. Otherwise, he would have come to find him years ago.
Although Holy Soul Village was somewhat remote, it was still within the Heaven Dou Empire. His father hadn't changed his name, so if they inquired, the Clear Sky Sect's strength could make it just a matter of time.
As for the sect closing, Tang San paid no mind.
A large sect like the Clear Sky Sect must have some power remaining outside to secretly transport resources—otherwise, how could they cultivate and survive?
"Okay, then I want to go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But, Uncle, will that person accept me as his disciple?"
Tang San was a little worried.
Tang Xiao smiled. "Don't worry. Since you are Tang Hao's son, your talent is definitely good. That fellow is looking for talented disciples."
"Even if you are still far from awakening your Martial Soul, with my guarantee, he won't reject me. He will temporarily accept you as a disciple, but whether he accepts you as a direct disciple and teaches you everything depends on your own ability."
