"Since you know what you're doing, I won't say any more as your father." Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, choosing to trust his son.
He was already an old man.
What he needed to do, and what he could do, was protect Yu Xiaogang until he had fully grown.
At the same time, he had to keep other complicated affairs from affecting his cultivation.
"Father, I also prepared an Immortal Herb for Second Uncle."
"After he takes it, breaking through to the Titled Realm shouldn't be a problem."
"As for the rest, that depends on Second Uncle's own fortune." Yu Xiaogang did not continue the subject.
Instead, he brought up another matter.
"Fine, we'll do as you say."
Afterward, father and son chatted about family matters for a while.
Gradually, the topic turned to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Yuanzhen merely sighed faintly. "They're clearly the same person. Why is the difference so enormous?"
"Father, are you still keeping track of him?"
"Yes and no. The latest intelligence is already from half a year ago."
"He accepted a disciple named Tang San. His Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and he has Innate Full Soul Power."
"What a pity."
Yu Yuanzhen felt rather regretful.
Why did such talent have to appear in a trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass?
"Tang San? Innate Full Soul Power? Blue Silver Grass?" Yu Xiaogang's first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible.
"A soul master's Innate Soul Power level corresponds to the quality of their Martial Soul."
"There are two possibilities for someone like Tang San. Either he possesses a cultivation technique that can alter his Innate Soul Power level through early cultivation."
"Or... his Martial Soul isn't Blue Silver Grass at all."
Even with Twin Martial Souls, the quality of the two Martial Souls had to be similar.
Take Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, for example.
Their quality was extremely close. Both were peak Spider Emperor Martial Souls; only their specialties differed.
"A cultivation technique... impossible, right? That isn't something one can simply have." Yu Yuanzhen did not believe a youth from some small village could possess such a heaven-defying opportunity.
He knew that Yu Xiaogang possessed a cultivation technique, and Yu Xiaogang was willing to spread it throughout the clan.
But absolutely not now.
A cultivation technique capable of changing Innate Soul Power—what kind of opportunity was that?
The slightest leak of information would instantly turn the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into the target of everyone.
The clan could not withstand that.
His plan was to wait until Yu Xiaogang returned to the Titled Realm before considering gradually spreading the cultivation technique.
That would be the safest and most secure approach.
"Father, don't underestimate anyone. Since I could be reborn with the memories of my past life, others may also have that possibility."
Yu Xiaogang actually found it quite plausible.
"Though the possibility is very small." Yu Xiaogang himself was not particularly inclined toward that guess.
How could reincarnating with memories from a past life be so easy?
"I'm more inclined to believe that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang recalled the clan records he had read before. "I have reason to suspect that this Tang San... may have more than one Martial Soul."
"You mean... Twin Martial Souls?" Yu Yuanzhen's gaze could not help shifting toward Bibi Dong.
One only needed to look at Bibi Dong to know how powerful Twin Martial Souls were.
"I wonder whether Father still remembers that incident from back then. I suspect this Tang San is very likely Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor's son."
"I remember. Why do you say that?"
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and organized his words. "First, just as I said before, the quality of a Martial Soul corresponds to Innate Soul Power."
"Ordinary Blue Silver Grass cannot awaken Innate Full Soul Power."
"Among Blue Silver Grass, only one kind of Martial Soul could possibly possess the talent of Innate Full Soul Power—the Blue Silver Emperor."
"However, the Blue Silver Emperor is unique. Two emperors cannot appear at the same time."
In his past life, he had also met the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan. Her name seemed to have been Ah Yin?
She simply had not been Tang Hao's wife.
Instead, she had lived in the Star Dou Forest.
That was another difference.
"So what does that mean?" Yu Yuanzhen truly did not understand such theoretical knowledge.
He directly asked Yu Xiaogang.
"The Blue Silver Emperor's vitality is extraordinarily powerful. Even after sacrifice, it would retain a sliver of life and could not be completely extinguished."
"That also explains why Tang San's Martial Soul is currently only Blue Silver Grass rather than the Blue Silver Emperor—because he has not fully awakened yet."
"And a Blue Silver Emperor that has not fully awakened cannot possess Innate Full Soul Power. By my estimate, Innate Soul Power level eight would be the maximum."
Even without fully awakening, imperial bloodline was comparable to the Blue Silver King.
But it could at most reach Innate Soul Power level eight.
"Yet he has Innate Full Soul Power. That means he must have another Martial Soul of extremely high quality supporting that Innate Full Soul Power."
"I just said that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is very likely the Blue Silver Emperor, merely not yet fully awakened."
"The Blue Silver Emperor deserves the title of a top-tier plant-type Martial Soul. It is the emperor among plant-type Martial Souls."
"The qualities of Twin Martial Souls must be close. This is an established theory, or rather... a fact."
"Although it has not fully awakened, it is still the Blue Silver Emperor. In essence, it remains a peak plant-type Martial Soul, with quality close to that of the other Martial Soul."
"And the only person connected to the Blue Silver Emperor is Tang Hao."
"Then, following this line of reasoning..."
Yu Xiaogang gave his judgment. "Tang San does not possess a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul at all. He has the supreme Twin Martial Souls of the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer."
Yu Yuanzhen was left speechless by Yu Xiaogang's reasoning and chain of logic.
He had only mentioned it in passing, and Yu Xiaogang had practically solved the whole thing?
"I really don't know how your brain works... it's terrifying."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly. "It's only speculation. As for the truth, I'll have to meet Tang San in person to know."
What Yu Xiaogang did not know was that although his reasoning and guesses differed somewhat from the truth,
what was that saying again? The process was wrong, but the result was completely right.
As long as the result was right, there was no problem.
"You intend to make contact with this Tang San?"
Yu Xiaogang first nodded, then shook his head. "We'll meet if there's an opportunity."
"Since he has already acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his master, I won't steal someone else's disciple."
Just as Xie Yue had already become his disciple, if someone wanted to steal Xie Yue from him and accept him as a disciple over his head, he naturally would not agree.
And if his disciple ran off with someone else, that would be an even greater humiliation.
No matter what, Yu Xiaogang was another version of himself in this world. He would not go that far.
He was merely a disciple with excellent talent. There was no need to make things so ugly.
If Tang San had not taken a master, he might have acted on a whim and wanted to accept Tang San as his disciple.
But since Tang San had already taken a master, there was nothing more to say.
He no longer needed to teach disciples to prove his theories.
He had already proven in his past life that his theories were correct. That was enough.
What did it matter to him whether others believed them or not?
