The Demon-Sealing Pot was a familiar yet unfamiliar name to Tang Li.
It was an item from the myths of his previous life. Even among divine artifacts, it stood among the strongest, comparable to such great treasures as the Xuanyuan Sword and Shennong Ding.
Legend had it that in ancient times, when humanity had first emerged, demons and monsters roamed the land without restraint, feeding on humans and causing boundless slaughter.
For the sake of humanity's development and to resist those demons and monsters, the great Fuxi and Nuwa joined forces to forge this divine weapon for humanity—the Demon-Sealing Pot!
The Demon-Sealing Pot's greatest power was its formidable suppressive force against every race other than humans. It could easily draw all living beings into itself, suppressing and refining them.
Furthermore, the Demon-Sealing Pot contained a small world known as the Pot World. This realm held dense spiritual energy accumulated over countless ages. Whoever wielded the Demon-Sealing Pot could mobilize this realm and control everything within the Pot World, including time itself!
Once this item appeared, gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters all bowed their heads. It set the foundation for humanity's rise and was later called a terrifying artifact capable of creating all things and destroying everything.
And now, Tang Li was the Demon-Sealing Pot's new master. Based on the information in his mind, he had roughly summarized its abilities as follows:
The pot's mouth possessed an energy form that surpassed the gravitational pull of a black hole.
It could completely break down and reconstruct the essence of matter.
The Pot World carried the ultimate power to alter the rules of the world.
At the same time, he was also the controller of the Pot World. The original Pot Immortal had already vanished, and the entire Demon-Sealing Pot had completely fused with Tang Li. He himself was akin to an artifact spirit and possessed the highest authorization to use this divine artifact.
However, his current strength was too weak to fully unleash the Demon-Sealing Pot's power. As a result, the divine item had concealed and sealed itself away. He could only nurture it slowly and gradually unlock its power.
At present, the only abilities he could use were the Demon-Sealing Pot's most basic ones—suppression and Refining.
Once he fused with a Soul Spirit and became a true First-Ring Soul Master, he would gain access to another portion of the Demon-Sealing Pot's abilities.
After leaving the Awakening Chamber, Tang Li was so absorbed in his own world that he had completely forgotten about his older sister, Tang Wulin. All he could think about was going home to properly study the Demon-Sealing Pot's wondrous properties.
Suddenly, a small hand reached out from behind and grabbed his shoulder, followed by Tang Wulin's joy-filled voice:
"Xiao Li, why did you take so long to come down? I've been waiting for ages!"
Tang Li stopped where he was, suddenly remembering that he had an older sister. Tang Wulin skipped around in front of him, her bright, watery eyes filled with excitement. Shaking Tang Li by the shoulders, she asked:
"Xiao Li, what's your Martial Soul? Mine turned out to be the Clear Sky Hammer, with level-seven Innate Soul Power."
No wonder she was so excited. It really was the Clear Sky Hammer! Thankfully, it wasn't Blue Silver Grass and level-three Soul Power. If it had been that lousy thing, he would probably have had to comfort her.
Thinking that, Tang Li let out a sigh of relief and replied in an equally cheerful tone:
"My Martial Soul is the Demon-Sealing Pot. My Innate Soul Power is level ten."
"Level ten! Innate Full Soul Power! Xiao Li, you're amazing! Come on, come on! Mom said we're having ribs today. Let's hurry home—I'm starving!"
As siblings who had grown up together, Tang Wulin was genuinely happy for Tang Li. Holding his arm, she skipped and ran toward the academy gates. Whenever she saw neighbors or friends, Tang Wulin enthusiastically greeted them.
They all returned her greetings. After all, who wouldn't like such an adorable and sensible little girl as Tang Wulin?
As they walked, Tang Wulin also shared with Tang Li the stories Tang Ziran had told her while putting her to sleep, stories about the legendary Martial Soul known as the Clear Sky Hammer.
After all, the Clear Sky Hammer Tool Martial Soul truly possessed an illustrious reputation on the Douluo Continent. As the inherited Martial Soul of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world twenty thousand years ago, it was known to everyone.
At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer was also the Martial Soul of Tang Sect ancestor Tang San, the Sea God. In the era ten thousand years ago, Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong, wife of Spirit Ice Douluo, the first master of the Spirit Pagoda, had also possessed this Martial Soul. It could be said that the Clear Sky Hammer was truly among the finest Tool Martial Souls.
However, in the present era, the reclusive Clear Sky Sect had completely disappeared. No one knew where they had gone, and supreme techniques such as Ring Detonation had vanished along with them. Perhaps the Tang Sect still had information on those inheritances...
At this point, Tang Wulin felt somewhat regretful. Ever since she had first heard the name, she had liked the Clear Sky Sect, the legendary number one sect in the world. That sense of closeness seemed etched into her bones.
And now that the Clear Sky Sect had vanished, she had no way to seek a master and learn its arts.
Hearing this, Tang Li offered Tang Wulin some consolation, saying that things would work themselves out when the time came and that there would definitely be a way in the future.
In truth, he knew full well that Tang Wulin was Tang San's daughter, and that her grandfather, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, was still on the Douluo Continent. With such a background, Tang Wulin would certainly obtain those things in the future.
Not only that, the Sea God had left a strand of divine consciousness in her mind. With that as a safeguard, she would never lack such inheritances in the future.
At any rate, it was far better than awakening some trashy Blue Silver Grass and spending every day using that old lady's Binding.
"Xiao Li, I don't think I've ever heard of your Martial Soul. Can you tell me about it?"
Tang Wulin, who had just entered the world of Soul Masters, was nothing but a curious little child. She blinked her big eyes at Tang Li, seeming to glow all over!
Tang Li: Being cute was shameless, but effective.
"The Demon-Sealing Pot, as the name suggests, is a pot that refines things. It sucks things in and then refines them. It also has some suppressive effect on beasts."
Tang Li picked out a few basic details to tell Tang Wulin, making the Demon-Sealing Pot's heaven-defying abilities sound utterly ordinary.
After hearing Tang Li's words, Tang Wulin puffed out her little cheeks, clearly dissatisfied with his perfunctory answer.
"Xiao Li, how can you be like this? I told you all the information about my Martial Soul. (ó﹏ò｡)"
"I only just awakened too. This is all I know. Wait until I get home and study it properly. Once I figure it out myself, I'll explain it to you in detail."
Tang Li had no way to deal with this older sister of his. Seeing her pitiful expression, he could only force himself to explain.
"Hehe, Xiao Li is the best."
Tang Wulin: (⑅˃◡˂⑅)
Tang Li: (ー_ー)!!
After walking for a little while longer, they arrived at their small home in the commoner district of Aolai City.
Tang Ziran's workshop had received a large order today, leaving him extremely busy. He had originally planned to personally take the two siblings to awaken, but this unexpected matter had come up.
When Tang Wulin heard that her father was busy, she volunteered to take her younger brother Tang Li to awaken, leaving their mother, Lang Yue, at home to cook.
Tang Ziran could only pat his good daughter on the head, then sternly tell Tang Li to listen to his sister and not run around.
In this old father's eyes, his biological son was not the least bit reassuring.
Of course, as an unexpected arrival, Tang Li's presence had brought quite a few changes to this family—
