Mother and Son Meet; Heartbroken Tang San

Tang San felt as if his heart were shattering.

He could not be mistaken; the connection of blood flowing between them was even more intense than what he felt from his own master!

Mother! It was the mother he had longed for day and night!

Yet now, he discovered that the true form of his great mother had been placed in a narrow, damp little cave, receiving only the sunlight that filtered through a tiny opening.

Tang San looked up at the sky, his eyes erupting with infinite purple light as he stared fixedly at the opening above.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west; there was no other place for light to enter.

This meant his great mother could only enjoy the sun's rays for a brief moment at high noon each day!

One had to know that the Blue Silver Emperor possessed ultimate vitality, coupled with the characteristic of endless life...

Tang San could not believe what kind of torture his mother had endured to become like this, the entire plant listless and drooping!

Perhaps sensing the Blue Silver Emperor aura—the same origin shared by Tang San and Jiang Li—Ah Yin, who had been on the verge of death, began to sway slowly atop that small mound of earth.

Tang San's heart was a whirlwind of complex emotions, but at this moment, only one intense conviction remained: he had to take his mother away from this place!

His eyes filled with tears, and he lunged forward in a single bound to the small mound where Ah Yin was planted, raising his hand as if to stroke the swaying leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, the moment his hand was about to make contact, a domineering and tyrannical spirit power blasted him backward.

For a moment, Tang San looked at his hands, feeling utterly helpless, yet he believed that with his master's knowledge, he could surely help his mother escape her current plight.

Thump.

Tang San knelt straight down in the direction of Jiang Li, his forehead striking the ground repeatedly. "Master, please, help me!"

Jiang Li acknowledged that as the new Blue Silver Emperor, he certainly had to save Ah Yin from her current predicament.

But how to save her—whether to save her quickly, slowly, or with a calculated rhythm—that was a matter of great complexity.

The moment he entered the cave, through his powerful spiritual sense, Jiang Li had already located the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which Tang Hao had hidden within a wall mechanism nearby.

"Little San, summon your martial soul. Your mother's soul has fallen into a deep slumber; try to see if you can awaken it."

Tang San nodded, slowly raising his right hand, and a Blue Silver Grass identical to the one on the mound appeared in his palm.

Jiang Li did not remain idle; he quietly activated his Blue Silver Domain, continuously drawing the life force from nearby plants into Ah Yin's body.

The next second, a miracle occurred!

The Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's palm trembled suddenly, as if drawn by a force of deep, familial love.

The following moment, the Blue Silver Grass on the mound responded gently to this vibration, and a streak of golden veins, seemingly containing the secrets of life, lit up in an instant!

Two bloodlines resonated at this moment, transcending physical form.

A faint light, carrying the essence of their origin, spread silently from the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's palm, gently connecting to the one on the mound.

The very instant the light converged, Ah Yin's dormant consciousness was thoroughly awakened.

That familiar and unique aura struck the deepest part of her soul.

"This is..."

"My child..."

The longing and pain suppressed for years surged forth like a rushing river.

Ah Yin's consciousness poured out, and in this moment, she recognized Tang San without a shadow of a doubt!

This was the flesh and blood she had nurtured with her life, the child she had worried about day and night!

The next second...

The Blue Silver Grass on the mound seemed to be imbued with life, erupting with the power of growth!

The leaves unfurled rapidly, the golden veins upon them pulsing gently and powerfully like a heartbeat, climbing upward and spreading outward.

Each blade of Blue Silver Grass was no longer a mere vine, but like countless gentle threads filled with love, extending softly from the mound and slowly reaching toward Tang San.

The spirit power barrier originally set by Tang Hao was also being dissolved by Jiang Li's continuous use of his domain.

Now, the Blue Silver vines, which were Ah Yin's true form, faced no further obstruction; like a mother's hands, they gently caressed Tang San's cheeks.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time Tang San felt a mother's touch; the sensation mesmerized him, and he stood there, stunned.

He felt not a shred of hostility from the Blue Silver vines; instead, he was enveloped by an unprecedented tenderness and intimacy that reached his very soul.

It felt as if, in a world of extreme cold and ice, he had suddenly been pulled into the warm, solid embrace of his mother!

It was an instinct born from the depths of his bloodline, a sense of absolute safety and belonging!

The Blue Silver vines wrapped around his arms, shoulders, and chest with infinite gentleness, and finally, a leaf tip brushed lovingly against the corner of his cheek.

The movement was as tender as a mother wiping away the tears about to fall from her child's eyes.

"Mother!"

Tang San's lips trembled violently, and he could no longer hold back his hot tears, which instantly blurred his vision.

Watching this heartwarming scene, Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh; look at such a touching display of maternal love and filial piety.

However, he also knew that from the moment he shattered the spirit power barrier set by Tang Hao, the man must have sensed the disturbance and was likely rushing toward them now like a mad dog.

Furthermore, that giant rat was undoubtedly active in the area around Nuoding City right now; even if he wanted to slip away without leaving a trace, it was already too late.

"Tang San, as your teacher, I will help you take your mother away from this place, but before that..."

Jiang Li used his powerful spiritual energy to quickly detect the location of the mechanism. After he raised his hand and pressed it, a box crafted from a special material dropped from the mechanism, which he caught steadily.

Upon opening it, an extremely dense aura of life rushed toward them, as if the interior of the cave had transformed into an ocean of life.

Blinding blue-gold light erupted from within, revealing a crystal-clear right leg bone etched with blue-gold patterns lying quietly inside.

"Tang San, this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was left behind when your mother performed her sacrifice. It retains the majority of her original essence, and it is undoubtedly most suitable for you to absorb."

Jiang Li pushed it toward Tang San without hesitation, signaling for him to absorb it.

Although a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was a top-tier treasure, it was still lacking for him, as he had already absorbed two Dragon King level soul bones.
