Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower

Tieli had one very important point he didn't mention: he had used gambling to win the Tang Sect land deed from Tang Lin's hands.

Under those circumstances, to avoid infuriating Xue Yuheng, Tieli chose to conceal it.

Xue Yuheng was aware of this; he had previously sent Yue and Ying to investigate the full story behind the fall of the Tang Sect.

He just hadn't expected the actions of the Iron Blood Sect and the city garrison to be so swift.

The elite of the Tang Sect were completely wiped out, and of the forty-three people in the entire sect, only Tang Ya and her parents were left.

Because of their cruel methods and the monstrous crimes they committed, all members of the Iron Blood Sect, including the sect master Tieli and his son Tie Tang, as well as all the elders, were arrested and imprisoned.

Vista, the commander of the city garrison, was negligent in his duties and indulgent toward his subordinates, receiving the punishment of suspension without pay and three months of house arrest. After all, he was the emperor's own brother, so such a punishment was merely a slap on the wrist.

The captain who directly participated in the matter was immediately dismissed, and the three hundred soldiers under his command were dealt with accordingly; anyone involved in taking lives would pay with their own.

The Tang Sect was completely destroyed on this very day.

The reason Vista was so eager to curry favor with Xue Yuheng was simply because he was still holding a trump card he hadn't played yet.

After the Tang Sect affair concluded, Princess Weina's martial soul also successfully evolved, her body martial soul, the brain, transforming into the semi-god-level Brain of Wisdom.

What shocked the high-level members of the Body Sect was that this evolution also allowed her body martial soul to complete its third awakening.

The quality of the martial soul far exceeded the gold level.

The tournament, originally scheduled for about forty days, had already reached its final ten days, ushering in the round of thirty-two.

Just as Shrek advanced to the round of sixteen with an absolute advantage, Du Busi's closed-door cultivation also came to an end.

"Xiao Ya, get ready. The Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower is at least twenty thousand years old, and its toxicity is extremely tyrannical. To successfully fuse with it, you will need immense willpower."

In the secret chamber of the Body Sect, inside the water pool.

The two were face-to-face, as Xue Yuheng was going to help Tang Ya complete her martial soul evolution.

As the core material for the martial soul evolution, the few Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers that Du Busi brought back from the Sunset Forest were placed in the pool, dyeing the clear hot spring water a deep emerald green.

Over these ten days, Tang Ya's temperament had changed drastically; she had become almost completely silent.

Gone was the lively and spirited girl seen when she first appeared in the original story.

She had personally buried the forty-three bodies of the Tang Sect members one by one.

Xue Yuheng promised her that the lives of all the Iron Blood Sect disciples and elders would be kept in the imperial prison, waiting for her to take them herself.

The prerequisite was that she must have the ability to kill her enemies with her own hands.

Tieli was a Spirit Emperor-level powerhouse, and Tang Ya, only ten years old, had mediocre talent; she was playful and neglected her cultivation, currently only being a level twelve spirit master.

Tang Ya needed to cultivate to at least the Spirit Ancestor level.

Her martial soul was a mutated one, the Dark Blue Silver Grass, which only required vast life force to rapidly increase its realm.

Xue Yuheng did not have any Life Gold for the time being, but he possessed the Power of Creation, which could simulate the spirit power of any attribute.

In other words, while cultivating with Tang Ya, he would simply produce a little less Power of Creation per hour, nothing more.

As for the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower, a plant-type spirit beast with the Ultimate Poison attribute, Du Busi had gained the Ultimate Poison attribute after absorbing a seventy-thousand-year spirit bone from a Nine Absolute Flower.

He had successfully crossed that final threshold and broken through to the Limit Douluo level.

The Douluo Continent was vast and boundless; even though the Sunset Forest was right before his eyes, if not for Xue Yuheng's suggestion, Du Busi might never have had the chance to advance.

The upright and responsible Du Busi owed Xue Yuheng a massive favor, and he promised that if there was ever a place where he was needed, he would act three times.

A promise from a Limit Douluo... Xue Yuheng didn't seem to care much about it.

Tang Ya in the pool showed no signs of shyness, her eyes fixed firmly on the thick vines in the water.

A few days ago, under Xue Yuheng's arrangement, her parents had gone to Lingdou City to start a new life.

Before leaving, the couple had talked with Tang Ya for an entire night, telling her to let go of the Tang Sect and only focus on killing Tieli in the future to avenge those who died.

As the sect master, Tang Lin was a gambling addict who had lost the land deed as a stake and didn't dare to speak of it; he was undoubtedly incompetent.

Tang Ya's mother was also a spendthrift.

Such parents would never have placed much hope in their children.

Not to mention that Tang Ya was a girl.

But this family tragedy made Tang Ya deeply understand the law of the jungle.

Tang Ya not only wanted to destroy the Iron Blood Sect, but she also wanted to make the Tang Sect rise again and stand tall on the continent.

As a Blue Silver Grass spirit master with only level six innate spirit power, she could not do it alone.

"Your Highness, as long as I fuse with it, can I become a powerhouse?" Tang Ya used her Purple Demon Eye to see the veins of the vine, which appeared a deep, toxic green inside.

She was terrified; she was afraid that if she died, no one would remember the Tang Sect anymore.

"At the very least... you will have the opportunity to become a powerhouse." Xue Yuheng's words undoubtedly moved the young girl before him.

The Wordless Heavenly Book held a very high evaluation of Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass, predicting the evolution direction to be the quasi-god-level Death Blue Silver.

Wielding the authority of Ultimate Poison and Ultimate Death.

It seems that innate spirit power is not the only standard for judging the potential of a martial soul.

There are no useless soul masters, only useless martial souls.

The Grandmaster's soul master theory was correct.

Tang Ya closed her eyes and began to release her soul power, several short strands of Blue Silver Grass wrapping around the thick vines of the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower.

In an instant, the emerald-green venom surged wildly into Tang Ya's body along the Blue Silver Grass.

Xue Yuheng's gaze sharpened; he pressed his palm against her back, and a massive surge of the Power of Creation erupted.

Golden light, like a thin veil, precisely enveloped her two vital points: her heart and her brain.

Every other part of her body was left completely exposed to the ravages of the ultimate poison.

Wherever the venom passed, her skin instantly turned blue-black, and her muscles decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah--!"

A shrill, miserable scream erupted from Tang Ya's throat. Her body convulsed violently, and her once-silky black hair began to fall out in clumps.

The strands swirled in the air before falling into the water, where they were quickly corroded into nothingness by the venom.

Her fingernails cracked one after another, first splitting into fine fissures, then falling off entirely.

Excruciating pain swept through her entire body like a tidal wave.

Her once-delicate cheeks became a bloody, mangled mess. Tang Ya's consciousness teetered on the edge of collapse; every second felt like being pricked by ten thousand needles at once.

Xue Yuheng's Power of Creation protected her heart meridian, ensuring she remained conscious, denying her even the right to pass out.

The toxins of the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower were frantically eroding Tang Ya's bones and meridians.

Her bones felt as if they would shatter at any moment, and her meridians were scorched full of holes by the venom.

Tang Ya's body constantly withered, only to be stimulated by the toxins to swell and reshape itself frantically.

Decaying flesh fell away, and new, tender flesh with a pale cyan luster slowly grew in its place.

This was a confrontation between the poison and the Power of Creation, a nirvana born from extreme agony.

I do not know how much time passed, but the pool water gradually turned from emerald green to clear, and the ulceration on Tang Ya's body finally ceased.

New, tender skin covered her entire body, delicate and firm, even more lustrous than her original skin.

Her fallen hair grew back, even darker and more beautiful than before, cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall.

Her lost fingernails also regrew, crystal clear and shimmering with a faint luster.

The charred marks on her face faded away entirely, and her original pretty features became even more exquisite.

Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes, feeling the surging soul power within her, her eyes filled with shock.

Her soul power level had actually broken through from level twelve directly to level twenty, reaching the Great Soul Master realm.

In the pool, several vines of the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower had withered, turning into specks of green light that merged into her body.

A soul ring belonging to a twenty-thousand-year soul beast slowly rose around her.

The purple-black soul ring drifted in the water, carrying a dense aura of deadly poison. Tang Ya instinctively raised her hand, and several thick strands of Dark Blue Silver Grass sprouted from her palm.

The blades of grass were wreathed in a pale green, toxic glow; with a gentle flick, they stirred ripples in the pool water.

This was the evolved form of her Dark Blue Silver Grass martial soul: Death Blue Silver.

Tang Ya knelt in the blood pool and murmured, "Tang Ya thanks Prince Gan for the grace of rebirth."

...So, she is drawing a line between us.

Xue Yuheng said coldly:

"I hope you understand the little value you have left."

After going through so much trouble, you tell me you want to set up a memorial archway for your virtue.

That is quite laughable.

Xue Yuheng does not like girls who do not know their place.

The Tang Sect is a decent signboard, and nothing more.
