Tang San used his talent for crafting Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to earn the Clear Sky Sect’s approval and prove their power in battle. After years of traveling with Zhu Zhu Qing and marrying her, he saw his cousin Xia Guyi summoned back to the Imperial Palace over a break-in at the Worship Hall.

• Tang San, inspired by Xia Yang’s ascension to godhood, pursued a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone by presenting Hidden Weapons to the Clear Sky Sect elders.

• Xia Guyi used her bloodline authority to reclaim the armor, and the thief revealed a Clear Sky Hammer and nine Spirit Rings.
• The man in black attacked Xia Guyi with the Clear Sky Hammer as she used her Soul Skills to defend and counter him.

• Xia Tian arrived, comforted Tang San, and led him away from the Drill Ground.
• Xia Guyi used the Emperor Armor to absorb Tang Xiao’s soul power, Martial Soul Origin, and memories, reducing his corpse to ashes.

After Tang Xiao’s death, Xia Guyi revealed that the Emperor Armor had absorbed his Martial Soul and memories, giving the Xia Family access to his Clear Sky Sect techniques. Tang Hao arrived to collect Tang Xiao’s ashes and comfort Tang San, then arranged for Tang San and Zhu Zhu Qing to travel while he informed the Clear Sky Sect’s elders; as they prepared to leave, Xia Guyi gave Tang San an ancient wooden box.

• Xia Guyi explained that the Emperor Armor had absorbed Tang Xiao’s power, Martial Soul, and memories, preserving his Clear Sky Hammer and secret techniques for the Xia Family.

Tang San received Xia Guyi’s metal-alloy formulas and traveled with Zhu Zhu Qing to Gengxin City to study forging. After a year of successfully making every unusual metal in the blueprints, he was approached by Divine Craftsman Lou Gao, who asked whether the formulas came from the Cang Lan Empire’s ruler.

• Tang San accepted Xia Guyi’s blueprints of metal-alloy formulas and left the Imperial Palace with Zhu Zhu Qing.
• Tang San and Zhu Zhu Qing traveled the continent for half a year before arriving in Gengxin City to test the formulas.
• Tang San rented the Blacksmith Association’s best forge and spent a year experimenting with the formulas while Zhu Zhu Qing supported him.
• Tang San forged the final metal, Wan Pi Si, and paid the workers who had helped him.
• Lou Gao arrived at Tang San’s forge, examined the Wan Pi Si, and asked whether the formulas had been bestowed by His Majesty of the Cang Lan Empire.

Tang San and Lou Gao spent three and a half years developing a method to forge a powerful artifact, then completed the Clear Sky Armor at a volcanic forge. The finished armor remained below divine-artifact level, but its creation marked an unprecedented feat for two Soul Saints.

• Lou Gao recognized Tang San's alloy formulas as ones Sea God Xia Yang had devised and agreed to help Tang San attempt to forge an artifact.
• Tang San stayed in Gengxin City to research forging with Lou Gao, and three and a half years later he advanced to Soul Saint.
• Tang San and Lou Gao brought their project to a volcanic peak, where Lou Gao had built a forging platform powered by magma.
• Tang San used his Clear Sky Hammer to deliver the final strikes that completed the dark golden Clear Sky Armor.
• The armor's impurities faded, leaving a pure black surface traced with fine golden patterns.

Tang San and Lou Gao completed the Clear Sky Armor, then Tang San used a chain tower to channel Heavenly Thunder into it. When the lightning became uncontrollable, Lou Gao collapsed the tower and Tang San detonated several Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses to protect the armor.

• The Clear Sky Armor reached Title Douluo level, but Tang San insisted it still needed more power to become a divine artifact.
• Tang San built a tower of chains above the Forging Platform to channel Heavenly Thunder into the armor, and its power began to rise.
• The clouds unleashed repeated bolts of Chain Lightning, so Lou Gao dismantled the tower and stopped the storm from targeting the peak.
• Tang San activated his prepared Hidden card and detonated four or five Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses rising from the Magma Lake.

Tang San and Lou Gao successfully forged the Clear Sky Armor by combining Heavenly Thunder and magma energy, and Tang San tested its immense power. The armor then began cracking from hidden damage, threatening to collapse and undo their success.

• Tang San activated the Energy Extraction Device to channel the Magma Lake's heat into the Clear Sky Armor as lightning struck it.
• A violent energy blast erupted, but the Clear Sky Armor survived, and Tang San and Lou Gao confirmed that Thunder Tempering had succeeded.
• Tang San merged with the armor and found that it let him rival an ordinary Title Douluo, with a brief burst of power comparable to a level 95 Super Douluo.
• Cracks spread across the armor as its energy leaked away, revealing that Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire had damaged its foundation.

Tang San and Lou Gao completed the Clear Sky Armor when Lou Gao sacrificed his life to repair it, and Tang San received the God of Forging inheritance. After years of cultivation and a life with Zhu Zhu Qing, Tang San eventually entrusted the Clear Sky Sect to their son Tang Wulin and ascended with Zhu Zhu Qing.

• As the Clear Sky Armor began to crack beyond repair, Lou Gao used the Blood Sacrifice Technique to mend it, giving his life so Tang San could complete the armor.
• A black pillar of light struck Tang San and gave him the God of Forging inheritance; Zhu Zhu Qing arrived and agreed to enter the inheritance space with him.

• Over the following years, Tang San and Zhu Zhu Qing married and had a son, Tang Wulin, whom Tang San trained as the sect grew stronger.
• After entrusting the Clear Sky Sect to the grown Tang Wulin, Tang San ascended with Zhu Zhu Qing.
