Haotian Sect

At that time, there were only two people who could arm wrestle with him.

One is Qian Daoliu from the Spirit Hall, and the other is Bo Saixi from Sea God Island.

These three are collectively known as the "Three Ultimate Douluo" of Douluo III, belonging to the very small group standing at the top of the pyramid.

If Tang Chen had focused on being the sect leader and the Clear Sky Sect had developed properly, it might still be the number one sect in the world today.

As a result, the old man was restless and insisted on pursuing some Godhood.

Qian Daoliu pursued the Angel God, Bo Saixi pursued the Sea God, and Tang Chen thought, "You all have gods, right? Then I have to get one too."

He chose the Asura God.

And then? And then nothing happened.

This old man went to the Slaughter City to receive the inheritance, but was ambushed by the Rakshasa God. His Divine Soul was corrupted, and he went insane. He became the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City, and held that position for decades.

What kind of situation is this?

The sect leader ran away, and he ran away in a frenzy. The Clear Sky Sect was suddenly leaderless.

Fortunately, Tang Chen left behind descendants. His son took over the position of sect leader and continued to uphold the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Chen's lineage has one notable characteristic: it is sparsely populated.

The family has a single son for every generation, it's like a joke.

By the time it came to Tang Hao's generation, he had two sons, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

The two brothers were originally a good match, respectful and loving towards each other, working together to bring glory to the Clear Sky Sect, but then Ah Yin appeared.

Who is Ah Yin? She is the human form of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San's mother.

Tang Hao fell in love with Ah Yin, Ah Yin also fell in love with Tang Hao. The two secretly pledged their lives to each other.

The problem is, the Spirit Hall has also set its sights on Ah Yin.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! Who wouldn't be envious?

Then came that classic chase. Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, led his men to hunt down Tang Hao and Ah Yin. In the end, Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Tang Hao was seriously injured, and he escaped with the newborn Tang San.

This incident caused an uproar within the Clear Sky Sect.

What kind of power is the Spirit Hall?

At that time Douluo Continent, with countless Soul Master under its command, and the Pope was even Ultimate Douluo- level existence.

Your Clear Sky Sect has offended the Spirit Hall, do you think you'll get away with it?

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect discussed it and decided that this was too dangerous. They had to expel Tang Hao from the sect and then announce a seclusion, never to return to the world.

To put it nicely, it's called avoiding the enemy's sharpest attack; to put it bluntly, it's cowardice.

The mighty number one sect in the world shut its doors and went into hiding simply because it offended the Spirit Hall.

This hiding lasted for decades.

Over the decades, the Clear Sky Sect went from being the number one sect in the world to becoming a legend.

The younger generation of Soul Master didn't even know that such a sect existed.

The sect's territory shrank, its power disintegrated, and its disciples scattered and left. In the end, only one family and a few elders remained, living a secluded life in a remote mountain village.

You call this the number one sect in the world?

To put it bluntly, it's just a small family-run workshop that's extremely concerned about saving face. Bright Capital making ends meet, they still act like the number one sect in the world.

When Tang San later returned to his ancestral home, this was the mess he found.

It's funny to think about it, but Tang Chen Tang Chen was the one who brought the Clear Sky Sect to its most glorious moment, and he was also the one who indirectly caused its most desolate moment.

If this old man didn't pursue some Asura God and just stayed in his sect as its supreme ruler, would the Spirit Hall dare to lay a finger on the Clear Sky Sect?

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Tang Chen went mad, Tang Hao was expelled, and the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates.

A once glorious sect has vanished silently into the annals of history.

Until Tang San appeared.

Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.

Xiao Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, watching with amazement.

"So the Clear Sky Sect had such a history ten thousand years ago..."

She only knew that the Clear Sky Sect was very powerful before, but she didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in the story.

"Isn't Tang Chen, too unreliable?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but complain, "Why give up being a proper sect leader and insist on causing trouble? In the end, he drove himself crazy, and the sect almost went bankrupt."

What's the difference between this and being a hands-off manager?

No, at least a hands-off manager would come back to check on things, but this guy just disappeared.

Xiao Xiao shook her head and looked down again.

"And those elders too, they just closed the mountain without warning, leaving Tang Hao to take the blame. They're so irresponsible."

She had initially thought the Clear Sky Sect was quite prestigious, but now that she saw it, it was just so-so.

When trouble comes, they hide and make their disciples take the blame. What kind of number one sect in the world is this?

Xiao Xiao pouted and turned over.

The story of Tang San recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan is quite dramatic.

At that time, Tang San had already made a name for himself on the continent, his Soul Ring were more and more outrageous, and he even created the Tang Sect.

But he never knew about his background until Tang Hao told him everything.

Tang Hao is really something. Why didn't he say it sooner or later? He had to wait until his son was grown up and capable before bringing it up. So he was afraid his son wouldn't be capable and would be bullied if he went back home?

After Tang San learned that he was a member of the Clear Sky Sect, what was the first thing he did? He returned to the sect to acknowledge his kinship.

And what happened? The elders of the Clear Sky Sect didn't like him.

Why? Because he is Tang Hao's son.

Tang Hao caused the Clear Sky Sect to close its mountain for decades, and the elders harbored a lot of resentment towards Tang Hao, which extended to Tang San as well.

What was Tang San's reaction at the time? He didn't get angry or argue back; he just stood there quietly, listening to the elders scold his father.

Then he said that he wanted to atone for his father's sins and that he wanted to revive the Clear Sky Sect.

The elders exclaimed, "Wow, this kid's got quite the nerve!"

Then, Tang San was given some tests, and only by passing the tests could he be recognized as a member of the clan.

To put it bluntly, the elders just didn't want Tang San to be recognized as a member of the clan, so they deliberately created difficulties for him.

But they didn't expect that Tang San was no ordinary person.

This kid's got some kind of cheat code.

A few years later, Tang San not only fulfilled all three conditions, but also exceeded them.

Furthermore, Tang San brought back Tang Chen's token Haotian Token.

Tang San went to the Slaughter City and, by chance, purified Tang Chen's Divine Soul. The old man temporarily regained his senses and handed the Haotian Token to Tang San.

Imagine that scene.

The elders had initially intended to put on airs and give Tang San a hard time, but when Tang San Haotian Token, the elders were completely dumbfounded.

This kid has met the ancestor and even brought back the Haotian Token. What else can they say?

Then Tang San became one of the highest-ranking members of the Clear Sky Sect.

Ironically, the Clear Sky Sect had been secluded in the mountains for decades, hiding there and not daring to confront the Spirit Hall head-on.

As a result, Tang San returned and, within a few years, led the Clear Sky Sect to make a comeback.

Not only did he make a comeback, but he also confronted the Spirit Hall head-on.

In the final battle at Jialing Pass, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect charged forward wielding hammers, displaying incredible prowess.

The elders were probably stunned. Our enemy, whom we'd hidden from for decades, was now openly waging war?
