Holy Spirit Village.
Somewhere deep in the mountains, no one knew how far away.
Tang Hao escorted Tang San all the way to Suotuo City, taught Zhao Wuji a lesson for bullying his adopted son, even gave him a little something in return, then went back to Holy Spirit Village.
He did not enter Holy Spirit Village, instead heading straight into the mountains some unknown distance away.
"Ah Yin, I came to see you."
Tang Hao stood before a stalk of Blue Silver Grass. A rare trace of tenderness appeared on his old, bearded face.
Blue Silver Forest.
After fleeing the human world, Ah Yin had remained secluded in Blue Silver Forest. Before becoming a Title Douluo, she did not dare venture out.
Although staying in Blue Silver Forest and keeping away from the human world might slow her cultivation, compared to her own safety, a slower cultivation speed was nothing.
Besides, in Blue Silver Forest, she held a unique status. She was the supreme emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan, and her cultivation speed was no slower than it would have been in the human world.
Having started cultivating anew, she was already a Level 17 Spirit Master.
"Good thing I ran back to Blue Silver Forest early. Otherwise, I would have ended up like that on the Sky Screen. I still want to become a god—I can't sacrifice myself to a human." Ah Yin patted her flat chest and spoke with a face full of relief.
When she saw the Blue Silver Grass appear on the Sky Screen, she knew that it was her, regrowing from the Life Seed left behind after her sacrifice.
The innate domain of the Blue Silver Emperor—the Blue Silver Domain!
Its supreme derivative mystery: wildfires could not burn it all away; when the spring breeze blew, it grew anew.
Even after death, it could leave behind a Life Seed. Once the Life Seed grew, it would be resurrected.
"Ah Yin, our son has grown up."
Tang Hao gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass and said softly, "He looks more and more like you."
"He's attending Shrek Academy now. I went to take a look as well."
"Although Grandmaster isn't very reliable, the Shrek Academy he recommended is decent."
"The dean is a Soul Saint, the Vice Dean is also a Soul Saint, and there are Soul Emperors and Soul Kings serving as teachers..."
"Their teaching staff is strong enough to guide Xiao San for now."
Clear Sky Sect.
"He is definitely not me!" Tang Hao frowned, his expression twisting as he shouted, "I absolutely refuse to acknowledge that he is me!"
Listening to the old man on the Sky Screen speak so tenderly, goosebumps rose all over Tang Hao's body.
Tang Hao was disgusted.
He absolutely refused to admit that the old man on the Sky Screen was his future self.
Heh. No matter how miserably he ended up in the future, he would never become that old man from the Sky Screen!
"Xiao San has made a little girlfriend. Her name is Xiao Wu, and she's like you."
"If you saw her, you would definitely like her too."
Tang Hao paused briefly, then said with deep melancholy, "I hope they'll be well, and not end up like us."
The Blue Silver Grass swayed in the wind, as if it were worried.
Tang Hao said, "Don't worry. With me here, I'll protect them."
"Xiao San met a Xiao Wu like you. He has also found trustworthy companions, and a teacher who takes better care of him than I do. Now, I can finally do what I've wanted to do for so long."
After saying goodbye, Tang Hao turned and left. "I'll repay what I owe the sect."
"And I'll collect what Spirit Hall owes us."
Spirit Hall.
Pope Qian Xunji stared speechlessly at the old-man version of Tang Hao on the Sky Screen, who wanted revenge against Spirit Hall.
"I led people to eliminate a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation. Was that somehow wrong?"
Qian Xunji felt that Tang Hao's brain had to be broken.
Even if the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation Blue Silver Emperor had become his wife, she was still a spirit beast.
Humans and spirit beasts were mortal enemies.
Until the spirit ring problem was solved, peaceful coexistence would forever be impossible.
Tang Hao had no righteous grounds whatsoever for seeking revenge on Spirit Hall.
If Spirit Hall had killed Tang Hao's human wife, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Tang Hao to seek revenge. But Spirit Hall had killed the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation Blue Silver Emperor.
More importantly, the Blue Silver Emperor had voluntarily sacrificed herself to Tang Hao and left behind a Life Seed, giving her hope of resurrection.
Quite a few of the Spirit Hall subordinates Qian Xunji had brought to trouble Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor had died.
No matter how one looked at it, Spirit Hall was the one that had suffered the loss.
Yet Tang Hao still had the nerve to seek revenge against Spirit Hall.
His brain had definitely short-circuited.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Madam Ning's eyes brimmed with tears as she pulled Ning Fengzhi over and leaned against his shoulder. "That was so moving!"
"..."
Ning Fengzhi had nothing to say.
Oh no, the woman he loved had become love-struck again.
"He fell in love with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation," Ning Fengzhi said flatly.
"Fine. Their love story may be touching, but they still can't betray humanity," Madam Ning said.
Good. Being love-struck had not lowered her intelligence. At the very least, she still had principles.
Ning Fengzhi frowned. "Spirit Hall is powerful, but it ultimately represents the righteous cause of humanity. For Tang Hao to go looking for trouble with Spirit Hall..."
"Don't overthink it. Since we have already seen the future decades from now displayed on the Sky Screen, we just need to prevent it from happening," Madam Ning said. "As long as Tang Hao doesn't get involved with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation again, he won't fall out with Spirit Hall."
"Alas... Spirit Hall is too powerful. The Upper Three Sects can only stand against Spirit Hall by joining together closely," Ning Fengzhi sighed.
"Look, the Sky Screen has shifted scenes again. It's back to Tang San in Star Dou Great Forest," Madam Ning said.
On the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest, because of Tang San's battle with the Man Faced Demon Spider, followed by the arrival of the Peerless Dragon Snake, Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Academy students, no spirit beasts dared approach.
Tang San was in terrible condition. It looked as if he would not survive.
At that moment, he fell into an illusion, as though he had returned to the beginning of his transmigration, when he had still been an infant.
He could feel himself in a warm embrace.
The person holding him was fleeing desperately for their life, seemingly being pursued.
Blue Silver Forest.
Ah Yin was angry.
She puffed up her cheeks and looked at the grown-up Ah Yin on the Sky Screen, who was being pulled along by Tang Hao as they fled hand in hand.
"That is me, all right!"
Ah Yin did not deny that the Sky Screen was showing her after she had grown up.
Unfortunately, she had grown into someone love-struck.
Wasn't cultivation good enough?
Wasn't becoming stronger good enough?
Why fall in love?
Ah Yin could not understand the thoughts of that grown-up Ah Yin. She only felt that she had become love-struck.
She had to take it as a warning.
Love? Not even dogs would bother with it!
Even if she became a Title Douluo in the future and returned to human society, she would not fall in love.
Tang Hao grabbed one of Ah Yin's hands and pulled the child-carrying Ah Yin along as they ran for their lives.
"Tang Hao, you have nowhere left to run!"
A cold voice rang out. A huge ghostly hand appeared out of thin air and lunged at Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Tang Hao reacted in time, shoving Ah Yin away before swinging his Clear Sky Hammer spirit martial soul and shattering the ghostly hand.
But the ghostly hand's interception had also prevented Tang Hao and Ah Yin from escaping.
