A Rift Between Father and Son

He remembered it clearly—two years ago, he had secretly watched the Xiao San.

At that time, Xiao San's Soul Power was only slightly above level 30.

But now, only two years later, Xiao San has actually broken through to the Soul Ancestor!

Level 40!

A nine-year-old Soul Ancestor!

This was completely beyond his comprehension!

What shocked him even more was the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor.

As Ah Yin's husband, he understood better than anyone what the Blue Silver Emperor meant.

That is the royal bloodline of the Blue Silver Clan, a bloodline inheritance left behind by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ago.

He originally thought that the Xiao San would have to cultivate to at least level 50 or even 60 before she could possibly reach that threshold.

But now, Xiao San has awakened the Blue Silver Emperor at level 40!

How exactly did they manage to do that?

But following the shock came boundless joy.

Tang Hao looked at his son, who bore a striking resemblance to Ah Yin, and his eyes welled up with tears.

When Xiao San broke through to the Soul Elder at the age of seven, he had already seen hope.

He saw hope of avenging Ah Yin, and hope of returning to the Clear Sky Sect with his Xiao San and recognizing his ancestors.

He has been waiting all these years.

Once the Xiao San grows up, and one day I can bring my son back to the sect to make up for the losses I caused to the sect back then.

He is Clear Sky Douluo, a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect.

Even though he had been wandering around for many years, he never complained about the sect, and his sense of belonging to the sect, which was connected by blood, had never truly been severed.

Now, the Xiao San's talent is even more outstanding than he imagined.

The nine-year-old Soul Ancestor awakened the Blue Silver Emperor.

With such qualifications, what reason could the Clear Sky Sect have not to accept them?

Thinking of this, Tang Hao could no longer suppress the anticipation that had been building up in his heart for so many years.

He's never been one to keep things to himself; he speaks his mind and gets straight to the point—that's just his nature.

He looked at Tang San and asked directly:

"Xiao San, how did you do that? Awakening the Blue Silver Emperor at level 40, this..."

Tang San was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

The awakening process of the Blue Silver Emperor was far too complex, involving numerous arrangements made by his master— Whale Rubber body tempering, illusionary trials, and a plant-type Spirit Ring with ten thousand years of life attributes...

He himself only had a vague understanding of these things, and he had no idea how to explain them to his father.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Fu Shiyan, his eyes questioning.

Fu Shiyan met his gaze, nodded slightly, and slowly walked to the father and son.

He looked at Tang Hao and explained in a calm but clear tone:

"Brother Tang, it's no coincidence that Xiao San was able to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor ahead of schedule."

Tang Hao stared intently at him, waiting for him to continue.

Fu Shiyan continued:

"Xiao San's four Spirit Ring were all absorbed beyond the limit."

"Moreover, Xiao San's fourth Spirit Ring was absorbed from a 12,000-year-old Plant-type Soul Beast..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's pupils constricted sharply.

A fourth Spirit Ring that's 12,000 years old?

This is absolutely unheard of in the Soul Master World!

Fu Shiyan ignored his shock and continued:

"Through repeated absorption that pushed him beyond his limits, Xiao San's physical attributes and the essence of his Martial Soul were continuously enhanced."

But that's not enough.

He paused, looked at Tang San, and continued:

"During this process, I used elixirs made from Immortal Herb to lay a foundation for him, ensuring that his body could withstand the pressure brought by the Limit Spirit Ring."

"Before obtaining his fourth Spirit Ring, I used Whale Rubber as a supplement to enhance his physique, which I had him consume and refine to further improve his physical condition."

"Thus, with the dual enhancement of his Spirit Ring and physical body, he was able to successfully awaken the Blue Silver Emperor at level forty."

Tang Hao listened quietly, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

I see!

It wasn't just luck; it was a meticulously planned scheme!

The look in his eyes when he looked at Fu Shiyan was no longer just gratitude, but almost reverence.

This Brother Fu... no, Tianqing Douluo, has nurtured his Xiao San far beyond what her biological father could provide.

He slightly bent his knees, seemingly about to kneel down in front of everyone!

"Brother Fu!"

His voice was hoarse, his eyes were red-rimmed, and they were filled with tears.

"I can never repay the kindness you have shown me, Tang Hao, and my son, Tang San Tang Hao!"

He took a deep breath, his voice choked with emotion, and continued:

"Over the years, I, Tang Hao, have failed Xiao San, failed Ah Yin, and even more so, failed the Clear Sky Sect!"

"If I hadn't acted recklessly back then, the sect wouldn't have suffered such losses."

"Over the years, I've always thought that one day I can bring my Xiao San back to the sect, acknowledge our ancestors, and make up for the damage I caused to the sect back then!"

He looked up at Fu Shiyan, his eyes brimming with tears:

"The Xiao San's current success is all thanks to Brother Fu's guidance!"

"Tang Hao will remember this kindness forever!"

Tang San stood aside, quietly watching his father's excited expression and listening to his heartfelt words of gratitude, while a complex and indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

It's certainly true that the father is grateful to his master.

But his father's words—to make up for the damage he caused to the sect back then, to take him back to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan...

These words, like tiny thorns, pierced Tang San's heart.

Through those Simulation, he had already seen through the true colors of the Clear Sky Sect.

How did those people scheme against my mother?

How did they scheme to obtain their mother's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone?

A path to death!!!

He had already labeled everyone in the Clear Sky Sect as someone who was courting death!

He will not let anyone who participated in the murder of his mother go unpunished.

But now, Father is moved to tears, wondering how to make amends to that sect...

Tang San took a deep breath and finally interrupted Tang Hao:

"Dad."

His voice was clear and resonant, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

Tang Hao was taken aback and turned to look at him.

Tang San looked directly into his father's eyes and said, word by word:

"I saw my mother."

These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the myriad emotions surging within Tang Hao's heart.

His body stiffened abruptly, the excitement and guilt on his face freezing instantly, replaced by an incredulous panic and complex emotion.

"What... what did you say?"

His voice trembled as he pressed on, "You saw... Ah Yin?"

Fu Shiyan chimed in from the side:

"Oh right, I forgot to tell Brother Tang."

He looked at Tang Hao and continued calmly:

"When Xiao San, the Blue Silver Emperor, awakened, he vaguely sensed a strange connection in the direction of Holy Soul Village."

"So a few days ago, I took my Xiao San back to Holy Soul Village."

Tang Hao's breath hitched slightly.

Fu Shiyan continued:

"In a very secluded cave, we found a peculiar Blue Silver Grass."

"That Blue Silver Grass was completely different from the ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Its leaves were large, with golden veins flowing through them, emitting a faint blue-gold glow."

He paused:

"Through the senses of his own Martial Soul, Xiao San confirmed the identity of the Blue Silver Grass."

His gaze fell on Tang Hao's face, and he said, word by word:

"That is the transformation of the Xiao San's mother— the Ah Yin you mentioned."
