Entering the Land of Great Calamity!

"Stop dawdling. If I'm telling you to absorb it, then absorb it. Hurry up."

Yin Chuan urged him impatiently, but Tang San's heart only grew warmer.

Uncle was still the same.

On the surface, he acted perfunctory, as though he were merely carrying out some task at work, but he was cold on the outside and warm within. He truly cared about him.

But an uncle like this was thousands, tens of thousands of times better than that bastard Tang Hao!

"Yes, Uncle!"

Tang San accepted the Eight Spider Lance Soul Bone, suddenly overcome by a powerful urge to weep.

Across two lifetimes, no one had ever treated him this well.

Was this what having family felt like?

He had thought that, in this life, the family affection he longed for would only ever amount to what Tang Hao gave him.

He had never expected to have an uncle too!

How fortunate was he, Tang San!

Tang San was not the sort to fuss endlessly. Having accepted his uncle's weighty kindness, he immediately began absorbing it.

He absolutely could not let his uncle's goodwill down!

Now, he had to grow stronger, stronger, stronger! For the debt of gratitude he owed his uncle for raising him, he had to grow stronger!

[Main Quest: Help Tang San obtain the Eight Spider Lance Soul Bone. Completed. Reward obtained: Heaven-Waving Cloak]

[Main Quest updated:]

[Take Tang San into the Land of Great Calamity, secure a place there, and allow Tang San to absorb the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power to grow rapidly.]

[Reward: Blue Silver Domain]

Yin Chuan was still somewhat pleasantly surprised. The Blue Silver Domain had dropped so quickly?

Didn't that mean he could now use Blue Silver Entanglement?

Given his current circumstances, Blue Silver Entanglement, an instant-cast control soul skill, was indeed extremely useful.

As for securing Tang San a place, with his identity as the Child of Nature, it should not be difficult.

"Cough, cough."

Yin Chuan nearly choked on his own saliva. Had he really fallen to the point of needing Blue Silver Entanglement?

Fate truly toyed with people.

"Domination Domain, Blue Silver Domain."

"I'll soon have dual domains."

The Domination Domain offered super berserk enhancement, while the Blue Silver Domain was comprehensive in its functions. Together, they were simply perfect.

What concerned Yin Chuan now was that Tang San still did not have the Blue Silver Domain. He did not know whether Tang San would awaken it later.

"Howling, come here."

As he pondered, Yin Chuan called over the Howling Celestial Dog, which had been frolicking while keeping watch.

"I'm putting a cloak on you."

Yin Chuan crouched down and personally tied the Heaven-Waving Cloak around the Howling Celestial Dog. The bright red Heaven-Waving Cloak immediately made the dog look even more imposing and spirited.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Howling Celestial Dog also loved the Heaven-Waving Cloak. It spun around several times on the spot, chasing its own cloak.

A thirty-percent increase in speed was absolutely an outrageously powerful piece of equipment for the ever-growing Howling Celestial Dog.

"You can talk now?"

Yin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Ordinary soul beasts could only speak human language after reaching one hundred thousand years, yet the Howling Celestial Dog could speak just after breaking through ten thousand years. As expected of a divine beast produced by the system.

"Yes, Master."

The Howling Celestial Dog sat obediently and answered Yin Chuan's question seriously.

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Forget it. Come back first."

Yin Chuan waved his hand and recalled the Howling Celestial Dog. He planted the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear into the tree beside him, then leisurely leaned against it and slacked off.

The Blue Silver Spearmen had already hunted several soul beasts and returned to prepare a meal.

That was right.

The Blue Silver Spearmen were useful for more than just fighting. Cooking, odd jobs, manual labor—they were skilled at all of it.

Yin Chuan leisurely acted as a hands-off boss, watching the Blue Silver Spearmen bustle about.

Before long, the meal was ready.

Tang San had also finished absorbing the Eight Spider Lance Soul Bone.

"Uncle!!"

Eight savage, sharp, venomous spider legs shot out from Tang San's back, fully possessing the characteristics and strength of a Man Faced Demon Spider.

Tang San was very satisfied.

The first thing he did upon waking was call for his uncle.

Only after seeing that his familiar uncle was still there did Tang San relax and retract the Eight Spider Lances.

"Finished?"

"Little San, come eat."

Yin Chuan pointed at the prepared roasted soul beast meat.

"Alright, Uncle."

Tang San scratched the back of his head. Eating Uncle's food and drinking Uncle's supplies all the time was rather embarrassing!

After obtaining the Eight Spider Lances, Yin Chuan led Tang San onward without stopping, all the way to the shore of the Lake of Life.

Xiao Wu, Er Ming, and Da Ming in the water were already waiting for them.

The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming was already sufficiently massive and brawny.

Yet the enormous bull head in the water was even larger. Tang San's heart trembled at the sight, and he could not help imagining just how colossal the Sky Azure Bull Python's body beneath the lake's surface must be.

What made him even more solemn was this.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python both seemed extremely serious. Even Xiao Wu, normally the most lively, was far more proper than usual.

Seeing this formation and combining it with his uncle's formal attire, Tang San immediately realized that something important was about to happen.

"Brother Chuan, please."

The Sky Azure Bull Python moved aside and opened a path.

Into the lake?

Tang San frowned slightly. Were they asking his uncle to enter the lake?

"Let's go, Little San."

Yin Chuan's expression remained calm and unruffled. He stepped forward first and entered the lake.

Strangely enough, when he stepped into the water, he did not create even the slightest ripple, nor were his clothes soaked by the lake water.

"Alright."

Tang San could not help but be startled. He was going in too?

But this scene looked so solemn and serious. He had thought he would be staying outside to play with Xiao Wu.

However, since his uncle had spoken, Tang San would not hesitate in the slightest.

Let alone lake water.

As long as his uncle gave the order, what did mountains of blades and seas of fire matter?

Splash!

Tang San clearly did not possess Yin Chuan's profound control over Soul Power. He used the simplest and most instinctive method: holding his breath and diving.

The lake water was very clear, yet its depths could not be seen. Tang San widened his eyes as he searched for his uncle.

A large hand suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him by the collar. The familiar sense of security arrived at the same time.

It was Uncle!

Glug glug—

Tang San's vision blurred, and in the next instant, he found himself in an unfamiliar and peculiar space.

He instinctively searched for his uncle. The moment he saw that his uncle was still beside him, he immediately felt at ease.

After confirming that his uncle was still there.

Tang San finally had the presence of mind to examine the surroundings.

When he did.

Even someone as steady as him felt his liver and gall tremble in terror.

At the very center of this space was a Milky White Cocoon, continuously sending out streams of pure energy.

Surrounding the Milky White Cocoon were prehistoric monsters of every conceivable shape!

There was an unfathomable Black Dragon, a Demon Tree with star-like demonic eyes, an emerald Sacred Swan, a savage and ferocious Giant Bear...

Tang San had thought the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python outside were already the strongest soul beasts, and enormous enough.

But compared to any soul beast here, they were utterly insignificant!

Buzz—

A large hand rested on Tang San's shoulder, and the sense of safety his uncle gave him immediately calmed his wildly pounding heart.

With Uncle here, what was there for him to panic about?!

"Lord, Yin Chuan has arrived."

"This is a gift for you."

Yin Chuan spoke respectfully and presented a dazzling Heart of the Ocean pendant with both hands.

Ning Rongrong had given it to him. It was said to be extremely valuable, capable of shining with the highest-grade light when appraised by the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Yin Chuan thought that keeping such a good item in his own hands would be a waste, so he might as well offer it to Gu Yuena as a gift.
