The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and the Clear Sky Sect's Inheritance Soul Bones

After putting away the Soul Bone, Wang Dong'er left the stone cave, tucked the Seed of Life into the Ruyi Treasure Bag, and drove her carriage to an unfamiliar barren mountain.

From the mountaintop, she looked out in every direction. The surrounding hundred li were deserted. After confirming there was no danger, she sat down cross-legged.

Once she had adjusted her state through meditation, Wang Dong'er activated her Soul Power and guided the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone until it slowly settled against her right leg.

Gentle energy flowed into her body. Vast life energy nourished her meridians, and for a moment, Wang Dong'er's mind and body relaxed completely. The Soul Bone's energy slowly transformed into Soul Power, and her aura grew stronger. Her Soul Power barriers shattered one after another, and soon she had climbed to the level of a Soul Ancestor.

Absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone took less than half an hour. When Wang Dong'er's awareness returned, she was astonished. She raised a hand and touched the smooth skin of her right leg where the Soul Bone had attached.

"Could it be... because of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline? Is that why everything went so smoothly?"

"Mm... that must be it. After all, a senior's keepsakes are meant for their descendants."

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone had granted her two Soul Skills.

They were Flight and Wildfire Cannot Burn Out.

Flight was a fairly ordinary skill, and Wang Dong'er didn't try it. Her First Martial Soul already allowed her to fly.

The Flight Soul Bone Skill from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone was sure to be faster than her Martial Soul's current flight speed, but it would consume a tremendous amount of Soul Power.

"Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze blows, and it grows anew."

The second Soul Bone Skill was a powerful lifesaving ability. It could regenerate severed limbs.

Though the Soul Bone Skills were powerful, they couldn't compare to the Domain she had gained after awakening her Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

The Blue Silver Domain could not only detect the surroundings through Blue Silver Grass within a certain range, but also command the Blue Silver Grass to sacrifice its life force and replenish her.

In that case... Tang San shouldn't have focused on control with his Blue Silver Grass. He should have become a support Soul Master.

Tang San had chosen the wrong path of cultivation and absorbed the wrong Soul Rings, but none of that diminished the power of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. The Blue Silver Emperor's talent was simply too powerful.

Everyone knew Yu Xiaogang was an idiot.

But Tang Hao was something else entirely.

He stayed by Tang San's side the whole time, yet watched with his own eyes as Tang San went astray...

Could it be because he had already realized Tang San wasn't his biological son?

Maybe...

Tang San had been practicing in secret. How could Tang Hao not know?

Tang Hao must have known that the cultivation method Tang San practiced didn't belong to this world.

Even if he didn't know, children on the Douluo Continent might mature early, but none were like Tang San, a little genius who could invent miraculous cultivation methods, movement techniques, and Hidden Weapons.

That was probably why Tang Hao ignored Tang San.

But the original story had said that when Tang San showed Tang Hao his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Tang Hao excitedly hugged him and cried, "My son!"

If he had already confirmed Tang San's identity, why would he still watch helplessly as Yu Xiaogang led Tang San astray?

Wang Dong'er couldn't understand.

If you called Tang Hao stupid, he had managed to scheme for Ah Yin to sacrifice herself.

If you called Tang Hao a god, he had watched helplessly as his son's talent was ruined.

He couldn't protect Ah Yin, and then he told Tang San to use the hammer to protect the Blue Silver Grass... That was the Martial Soul he had inherited from Ah Yin, and he'd let it be so casually ruined.

Did Tang Hao love Ah Yin?

Wang Dong'er was certain he didn't. If he had loved her, how could he have stabbed her in the back for a Soul Ring?

He knew where the Blue Silver Forest was, yet planted the Seed of Life in a damp stone cave where no sunlight could reach.

In the original story, he had said, "This is to keep others from finding her, so I can spend more time with Ah Yin." What mattered was that Ah Yin could see their child.

But in the more than ten years after Tang San was born, Tang Hao never mentioned the matter. Ah Yin never saw Tang San, either. Only after Tang San broke through to Soul King and could awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline did Tang Hao tell him everything.

Did that mean... Tang Hao hadn't returned Ah Yin to the Blue Silver Forest because he wanted to keep the Blue Silver King and the other Blue Silver subjects from learning that Ah Yin was still alive?

If the Blue Silver King learned that Ah Yin was still alive, even if she had become the Seed of Life, then Tang San, his tool of revenge, wouldn't be able to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, grow stronger, and complete his revenge.

After all, rather than let Tang San, who had only half Soul Beast blood, become the new king, it would be better to sacrifice their life force to revive the former empress, Ah Yin. She would surely protect the Blue Silver Grass people, while Tang San might not.

So, to help Tang San awaken his Bloodline, Tang Hao had no choice but to make Ah Yin suffer?

Although Tang Hao had chosen to follow Tang San, the only name he called out was Ah Yin's...

(To be honest, by the time I got here, my brain was already scrambled. If Tang Hao wanted Tang San to awaken his Bloodline and grow stronger, why did he watch as Tang San's talent was ruined? I really shouldn't have started spinning conspiracy theories. Everything's a mess. Let's just say Tang Hao really was stupid, and the Hammer King was divine.)

Wang Dong'er lightly brushed the dust from her backside and stood up.

The more she thought about these things, the more confused she became. More importantly, she had no one to talk to. Telling the Seed of Life... that would be too cruel to it.

Her beloved husband was dead, had never loved her, and had schemed against her. Her child had died the moment it was born... She didn't even know if Tang San had been reborn with his memories or had transmigrated into another body.

If the Seed of Life found out, she would surely lose the will to live.

After stretching a little and finding some wild fruit in the mountains to tide her over, Wang Dong'er sat down again, took out the Soul Bones Tang Hao had dropped, and began absorbing them.

She didn't know what these two Soul Bones were called, and she had no memory of them. The only thing she knew was that they were the Clear Sky Sect's Inheritance Soul Bones, which only the future sect master had the right to absorb.

Their ages were easy to tell, and both were very old: one was fifty thousand years old, the other seventy thousand. They corresponded to her right hand and left leg, respectively, and came from Power-type Soul Beasts. They were an absolute match for the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Though the energy in the two Soul Bones wasn't as powerful as that of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, it was wild, like two heavy trucks repeatedly slamming into her meridians and flesh.

Wang Dong'er could hardly bear it. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. The liquid soaking her clothes wasn't cold sweat, but blood seeping from her pores.

She regretted it a little. "I really overestimated my body's strength and how much it could endure. Sigh! I should've absorbed them one at a time."

But soon, the pain vanished. The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone trembled faintly, and its gentle energy instantly subdued the Inheritance Soul Bones' raging power.

With the pain gone, Wang Dong'er's furrowed brows relaxed, and absorbing the Soul Bone energy became exceptionally smooth. In a daze, she seemed to see a breathtakingly beautiful woman with blue hair.

The woman's aura was gentle and her bearing otherworldly. The corners of her lips lifted in a kind, warm smile.

"Grandma, I really can't thank you enough."

Wang Dong'er felt grateful.

"No wonder the Tang family are all so fond of transformed Soul Beasts. If I were Tang Hao, I'd pursue you too."

The remnant soul Ah Yin had left in the Soul Bone stiffened. Had she heard that right? This was a girl, and she was calling her Grandma?

The little one before her had Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and resembled her in three ways. Wasn't she her son Tang San, who had awakened the Blue Silver Emperor?

(Does anyone know what Tang San was like after awakening the Blue Silver Emperor? He was absolutely a femboy. I really want to look into it properly.)
