Chapter 60 - The Reason for the Tang Sect's Decline

Fishing with electricity is definitely illegal, but on Douluo Continent, it's naturally different.

Huo Yuhao stood by the stream, watching Beibei squatting at the edge, his hands submerged in the water. Strands of electricity surged from his hands into the stream.

Before long, fish after fish floated to the surface.

The next moment, Beibei flipped his hand, releasing a special force that strangely pulled the fish from the water onto the bank.

"Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon." Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, and he murmured inwardly.

But for some reason, he felt Beibei was deliberately using it in front of him, even giving off a sense of teaching while doing it.

"Yuhao, these fish should be enough for us to eat. Let's go back." Beibei directly put the fish into his storage ring.

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.

After the two returned to the cave, Tang Ya had already started a fire at the entrance.

Huo Yuhao immediately and skillfully prepared the fish, and then, under their expectant gazes, began to grill it.

He only brought simple chili powder and salt, but that was enough. The water resources of Douluo Continent were outstanding, and the fish quality was also extremely high. Too many seasonings would actually be counterproductive.

Not much different from the original story, when Tang Ya tasted Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, she was completely invigorated, constantly exclaiming that she had never eaten such delicious fish before.

It could be said that most of the fish was devoured by Tang Ya.

"It's so delicious! It's a pity that I won't have the chance to eat it again in the future." Tang Ya lazily lay on the ground covered with a blanket, completely oblivious to her figure's curves being fully displayed.

"You..." Beibei shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, Yuhao, where do you live?" Tang Ya suddenly sat up, asking with a serious expression.

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "We're staying in Shrek City."

Hearing this, Tang Ya's beautiful eyes immediately widened. "Really?"

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded, guessing what Tang Ya was thinking. He didn't dwell on it, as the barbecue stall was no longer open. "By the way, Beibei, are you and Sister Ya also from Shrek City?"

Beibei said, "I'm practically a native of Shrek. Ya is from the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Then it seems we can all go back to Shrek City together tomorrow."

Just then, Tang Ya gave a mysterious smile. "Actually, we have another identity."

"That is..."

"Shrek Academy students?"

Huo Yuhao interrupted Tang Ya.

Tang Ya's face twitched, and she clenched her fair fists.

"Actually, Yuhao, you already guessed our identities, didn't you?" Beibei said with a smile.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao replied, "A Soul Elder at fourteen or fifteen years old, and with only Shrek City within hundreds of miles, it's pretty much a given."

"No, we actually have another identity." Tang Ya's expression became serious. "I am also the current sect master of the Tang Sect. And Beibei is the Tang Sect's only current disciple."

It seemed that Tang Ya was afraid that Huo Yuhao wouldn't know the Tang Sect, and she was about to explain.

But Huo Yuhao spoke first, "It's that sect that plays with hidden weapons?"

"You know?" Tang Ya's eyes lit up. She'd revealed this identity in the first place to recruit him.

"I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to recognize it. That makes things easier."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I've read a lot of storybooks and historical texts, so I know about this sect. But I remember the Tang Sect already declined long ago."

Beibei's eyes flickered. This seemed to further confirm his previous guess: Huo Yuhao must have come from a distinguished background.

The Tang Sect was long forgotten by the world. Those who still knew about it mostly learned from ancient books.

Hearing this, Tang Ya's face turned ashen, and her voice softened. "You're right. The Tang Sect has indeed declined. We don't even have a sect headquarters anymore."

"Actually, it's normal for the Tang Sect to decline," Huo Yuhao said.

Beibei walked over and ruffled Tang Ya's hair, comforting her. At the same time, he looked at Huo Yuhao curiously. "Yuhao, what's your take on this?"

Huo Yuhao picked up a piece of firewood and put it into the fire. "Firstly, according to the historical texts I've read, the Tang Sect, because of the first sect master, collected a large number of Blue Silver Grass soul masters for cultivation. In my opinion, this was an extremely wrong and fatal choice."

"Why?" Beibei's expression remained unchanged, but Tang Ya became somewhat agitated.

Huo Yuhao analyzed, "It's simple. Blue Silver Grass is considered a useless spirit, and that can't be changed."

"But the first Sect Master of our Tang Sect had the Blue Silver Grass spirit, and he broke the limits of humanity and became a god. This shows that Blue Silver Grass isn't a useless spirit, as people say," Tang Ya retorted.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle, "Is the Tang Sect's first Sect Master's spirit really Blue Silver Grass?"

"Really Blue Silver Grass? What do you mean by that?" Tang Ya had a feeling about what Huo Yuhao was getting at.

"The Tang Sect's first Sect Master's Blue Silver Grass spirit should be, to be precise, the Blue Silver Emperor, right? I'm not wrong, am I?" Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Ya.

Tang Ya fell silent, clearly acknowledging Huo Yuhao's words.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I don't know what the Tang Sect thought in the past, why they were so determined to cultivate Blue Silver Grass soul masters. But Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Emperor are not comparable. This will lead to a lot of effort and resources being wasted."

"Even you, Little Ya, how do you see your future? You have absolute talent now, you're a genius, after all, a Soul Elder at fourteen or fifteen years old. But what about later? Blue Silver Grass will eventually limit you, and there's no escaping that."

Douluo Continent isn't full of people like Ji Juechen. He's almost the only one who proved the saying, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," to be true.

But even Ji Juechen, without the aid of pills refined with immortal herbs, couldn't break through to become a Title Douluo. His swordsmanship talent was terrifying, but his cultivation talent ultimately held him back.

Tang Ya grew increasingly silent.

How could she not understand what Huo Yuhao was saying?

Why was she so fixated on cultivation? Why did she choose the Red Sun Snake instead of following the choices of her ancestors and continuing to search for the Mandala Snake? It was because the Blue Silver Grass had too many limitations.

She wanted to break through those limitations.

Her innate soul power of rank eight already made her an outstanding individual, but she also knew very well that her talent was only somewhat useful in the early stages. Once she broke through to Soul Elder, everything would change. She could feel that her cultivation speed was already slowing down.

"Xiao Ya," Beibei gently embraced Tang Ya, a hint of comfort in his eyes. He also understood what Huo Yuhao was saying, but for the sake of his beloved, he'd never brought it up himself.

He understood even better than Huo Yuhao why the Tang Sect was putting so much effort into cultivating Blue Silver Grass soul masters. Simply put, it was a gamble on whether these soul masters' martial souls would evolve into the Blue Silver King or Blue Silver Emperor.

But the results were obvious: they had never succeeded.

In fact, even without success, the Tang Sect hadn't been greatly affected at that time, as the sect wasn't short on money.

All of this stability was broken after the war four thousand years ago. After that, the Tang Sect began to split completely, with the internal halls breaking away, and the Tang Sect itself began to decline.

Actually, in the early days of the Tang Sect, apart from the first generation, none of the other sect masters were Blue Silver Grass soul masters. It wasn't until the Tang Sect's decline that the Blue Silver Grass soul masters who had been selected for cultivation became sect masters.

But even becoming sect masters was useless. Their disciples and all their structures had already split, leaving them as little more than an empty shell, just in the name of the sect.

Those halls that broke away from the sect had taken away a large amount of money and resources, further hollowing out the Tang Sect. If it weren't for Shrek Academy's intervention, the Tang Sect would probably have been even worse off.

As for why those halls that broke away from the Tang Sect hadn't leaked the Tang Sect's unique skills, that would have to be attributed to another sect.

Clear Sky Sect.

Anyone who dared to leak the Tang Sect's secret techniques died mysteriously. Beibei knew exactly how they died.

But these hidden secrets were unknown to outsiders. He, however, had learned them from his ancestor.
