"There's actually something hidden behind this waterfall?"
Tang Chuan felt around behind the waterfall and suddenly slipped inside.
Whether in the Black World or the White World,
countless Soul Masters were astonished and curious, eager to know what exactly lay behind the waterfall.
How had Tang Chuan traveled all the way from Nuoding City, crossing mountains and ridges to reach this place?
Soon, the answer was revealed.
[After Tang Chuan entered behind the waterfall, he found a stone chamber inside. It was not very large, only several dozen square meters, and rather dim. Only at the very back did a beam of sunlight shine down from above, landing on a small mound of earth.]
[Growing atop the mound was a long, slender vine, crystal-clear like Blue Crystal, entwined with fine golden patterns and closely resembling Blue Silver Grass.]
[Upon seeing this strange plant, Tang Chuan immediately fixed his gaze on it and strode over.]
[After Tang Chuan approached the strange plant,]
[the plant, which resembled Blue Silver Grass yet was vine-like, suddenly trembled and wrapped its slender vine around Tang Chuan's wrist.]
"Why does this vine look so much like the Martial Soul Ah Yin summoned when she was being hunted by Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall Soul Masters?"
Previously, both the Black World's Tang San and the White World's Tang Chuan had appeared in Comparison Videos showing Tang Hao and Ah Yin facing Qian Xunji's pursuit.
In those videos, Ah Yin had used the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
Therefore, in both the Black World and the White World,
countless Soul Masters were immediately startled and recognized it.
Then they recalled the videos.
After Ah Yin's Sacrifice, she had not only left behind a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but also a seed resembling Blue Crystal.
The conclusion was obvious!
Anyone with a functioning brain could guess it.
The strange plant before Tang Chuan, which closely resembled Blue Silver Grass, was likely what had regrown from the seed left behind after Tang Hao's Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast wife had sacrificed herself.
In other words, this strange plant was Tang Chuan's mother!
Perhaps the bloodline connection between mother and son had led Tang Chuan here.
But upon seeing the environment inside the stone chamber,
many people in both the Black World and the White World had another question arise in their hearts.
Didn't plants need sunlight to grow better?
Why had Tang Hao planted the seed his wife had turned into inside this dark stone chamber?
Wouldn't that hinder its growth?
Though countless people were puzzled,
Tang Hao's actions were not entirely without explanation.
At the very least,
in the White World, within the Clear Sky Sect,
Tang Xiao's expression darkened when he saw Ah Yin planted in such a dim stone chamber.
He thought of the things
his second brother Tang Hao had said while kneeling before their father's grave in the previous Comparison Video.
Then there was the fact that Ah Yin clearly had not died, yet his second brother Tang Hao had completely neglected his nephew Tang Chuan, drinking himself into oblivion day after day in Holy Soul Village.
This caused some terrible suspicions to surface in his heart.
"No! It can't be!"
"My second brother is absolutely not that kind of person."
"Maybe he was worried that if Ah Yin were planted outside, passing herbivorous animals might eat her!"
"That must be it!!"
Tang Xiao shook his head wildly, muttering to himself as he desperately tried to convince himself.
[After arriving before the small mound where Ah Yin was planted,]
[and having his wrist wrapped by Ah Yin's slender vine, a complicated look flashed through Tang Chuan's eyes. He murmured in confusion, "Why do I feel like you're so familiar?"]
[In response to Tang Chuan's murmur, Ah Yin suddenly released his wrist. Her slender Blue Crystal-like vine pointed in a direction and stretched taut, as though she wanted Tang Chuan to go there.]
["What's wrong? Do you want me to go take a look?" Tang Chuan murmured in confusion as he followed the direction Ah Yin's vine indicated.]
[As he neared a stone wall, Tang Chuan seemed to discover something. He suddenly leaped up and unexpectedly pulled a black lead box from a recess near the top of the wall.]
["What's this?" Tang Chuan murmured in confusion as he opened the lead box.]
[Inside the lead box was a right leg bone, crystal-clear like Blue Crystal, glittering with starlike specks within and radiating a powerful aura of life.]
"That's the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!!"
At Shrek Academy in the White World,
when Ning Rongrong saw that Tang Chuan had actually found the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone Ah Yin had left behind after her Sacrifice, she could not help letting out a cry of surprise.
"That Tang Hao didn't fuse this Soul Bone himself?"
Ning Rongrong was deeply suspicious and confused.
"Could it be that Tang Hao intended to leave this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone for Tang Chuan?"
"But judging by how he behaved in Holy Soul Village, that doesn't seem very likely!"
Ning Rongrong simply could not understand why Tang Hao, such a terrible father, had not fused the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone himself.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone... it's too enviable!"
Seeing that Tang Chuan had obtained a legendary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Dai Mubai was so jealous that his eyes turned red. He clenched his fists and could not help saying,
"It would be great if I could have that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
"After a Soul Bone is fused, it can increase a Soul Master's strength."
"If I could fuse that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I'd definitely break through to Soul Ancestor immediately, and directly reach the high ranks of Soul Ancestor..."
There was one more thing Dai Mubai did not say aloud.
Then he would be able to catch up to his elder brother, Dai Weisi!
At that moment, as she watched Tang Chuan in the Comparison Video, Zhuqing's cold, breathtakingly beautiful face held eyes filled with envy and longing as well.
"Damn it!"
"You wretched brat, it really was you!"
However, within that valley,
when Tang Hao realized that Tang Chuan was the one who had taken the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, he nearly exploded with rage. He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily as he roared furiously.
Unfortunately, all he could do was rage helplessly.
["This is... a Soul Bone?" Tang Chuan was excited and delighted when he saw the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone inside the lead box.]
[But after taking a deep breath, Tang Chuan did not fuse it immediately. Instead, he closed the lead box and placed it into the bamboo basket on his back.]
[The bamboo basket also contained a woodcutting knife, some dry provisions, a waterskin filled with water, a tinderbox, and other supplies.]
[After putting away the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Tang Chuan inspected the stone chamber again. Once he confirmed that there was nothing else inside, he removed his clothes and wrapped up Ah Yin, roots and soil included.]
[Only then did Tang Chuan leave the stone chamber. Using his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul as a rope, he rappelled down the waterfall and prepared to leave the valley by way of the grassland beside it.]
[However, since it was already evening, Tang Chuan did not leave immediately. Instead, he lit a campfire on the grassland and made a flowerpot from the stump of a dead tree, planting Ah Yin inside.]
[After finishing dinner, Tang Chuan began cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method.]
[But this time, as he emptied his mind and began cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method, resonating with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass and becoming one with them, Tang Chuan not only sensed their emotions but also heard a gentle, excited woman's voice.]
["My son, my son, I've finally seen you!"]
