Ch. 21Love between a human and a beast
Tang Hao told Tang San how Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, sacrificed herself to save him and left behind a grass seed that might allow her to recover. Tang San realized the Tang Sect had taken that last hope, then admitted he had misremembered parts of the cultivation technique he had written down.
- Tang Hao asked Tang San to verify the six pages, then revealed that his mother Ah Yin had been the Blue Silver Emperor in human form.
- Tang Hao recounted how he and Tang Xiao met Ah Yin, how Tang Xiao stepped aside, and how Tang Hao and Ah Yin married and hid from Spirit Hall.
- Tang Hao explained that Ah Yin sacrificed herself after Qian Xunji and Spirit Hall's forces attacked them, leaving behind a grass seed and soul bone.
- Tang Hao said he planted Ah Yin's grass seed near Holy Soul Village, where it could retain a faint chance of restoring her life and intelligence.
- Tang San wept as he understood his parents' sacrifices and vowed anger against Spirit Hall and the Tang Sect for threatening Ah Yin's remains.
- Tang Hao asked Tang San to check the cultivation technique again, and Tang San admitted he had remembered some parts incorrectly.
