Chapter 375 Tang San learns the truth about his mother; father and son head to the Blue Silver Forest.
When Tang San opened his eyes, he found himself in a forest. His father was sitting by a fire, his face extremely haggard.
"Father?" Tang San stepped forward, his voice filled with surprise and worry.
Tang Hao raised his head, his eyes sunken, his skin like a piece of weathered old paper, weariness and pain solidified between his brows. Normally, his broad hands were like cast iron, full of strength. But now, they were like withered branches, resting limply on his knees.
" Xiao San, you're awake." Tang Hao's voice was weak and hoarse, as if it could be blown out with a single breath.
Tang San rushed forward, grasped his father's hand tightly, and felt the cold, damp skin. His eyes filled with panic and helplessness. "Father, what's wrong? What happened?"
Tang Hao shook his head slightly, a weary smile appearing on his face. "It's nothing, just a little tired. I've had enough rest. I'm really sorry, I couldn't save that child."
His words filled Tang San with grief. He understood that his father's words were not true. Looking at his father, his unease surged like waves. He suddenly felt as if the world had become unfamiliar in an instant.
The father and son sat by the fire in silence for a long time. Tang Hao coughed occasionally, each cough seeming as if he were spitting out his Life. Tang San listened silently, the fear in his heart roaring like a wild beast.
" Xiao San, it's my fault. I couldn't save your mother back then, and I can't save your lover today," Tang Hao's voice broke the silence. His gaze fell on the leaping flames in the fire, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
Tang San remained silent and did not say anything more.
" Xiao San, you need to work hard at your training. Your future achievements won't be much less than Jun Yi's."
Tang Hao's voice was deep and firm, "Your First Martial Soul is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass." His words made Tang San's heart race. He gripped his father's hand tightly, as if grasping at his own Life. "Father, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Tang Hao gently grasped Tang San's hand in return, a deep tenderness and apology in his eyes. " Xiao San, your mother was actually Soul Beast Transformation. Her true form was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, and your bloodline is actually the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline." Their conversation echoed through the forest. The firelight illuminated their faces, but it could not illuminate the shadows in their hearts.
"Your mother was also Soul Beast Transformation?" Tang San's tone was filled with surprise. His heart seemed to be illuminated by a fire, and the question that had troubled him for so long suddenly had an answer. He looked at his father, his eyes glistening with tears.
Tang Hao nodded silently. "Yes, Xiao San, your mother was also Soul Beast Transformation. There are very few Soul Beast in this world that can transform into humans, and your mother is one of them. She is not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but a royal member of the Blue Silver Grass family, possessing extremely pure Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline."
" Blue Silver Emperor..." Tang San murmured. He had always felt that his Blue Silver Grass was different from others' Blue Silver Grass. It was not only tough but also had great plasticity. He never expected that he would have the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
"Yes, Blue Silver Emperor." Tang Hao's voice interrupted Tang San's thoughts. He looked at Tang San, his eyes filled with expectation. " Xiao San, do you know what this means? It means that your First Martial Soul is not just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. You are the inheritor of the Blue Silver Emperor, and your bloodline contains endless potential."
Tang San stared blankly at his father, a huge torch burning within him—his bloodline, the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor...
"This means you have the potential to become the most powerful Soul Master in this world. Add to that your Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and you must believe that as long as you have sufficient strength and determination..."
Tang Hao's words burned like flames in Tang San's heart, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. " Xiao San, you must remember, you are not only the inheritor of the Blue Silver Emperor, but also the future hope of our Clear Sky Sect. Therefore, you must cultivate diligently. In the future, you will definitely have the opportunity to avenge Xiao Wu. Do you understand?"
Tang San took a deep breath. He suddenly felt as if the whole world was tumbling beneath his feet. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with determination and resolve. "Father, I understand. I will cultivate diligently and will not let Mother down."
The two sat by the fire for a long time, quietly watching the flickering flames. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, a mixture of sorrow and anticipation. They knew that the future of this world would be changed because of them, and that they, in turn, would grow because of this world.
As night fell and starlight illuminated the earth, Tang San stood up. Looking at his father's figure, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect. "Father, where have you been all these years? I've missed you so much."
"I've actually been protecting you secretly all along," Tang Hao said slowly.
" Xiao San, you must become strong. Only then can you protect those you want to protect. Only then can you seek revenge on Bibi Dong and Jun Yi in the future. Do you understand?" Tang San took a deep breath, feeling his blood boiling. His heart was filled with unwavering belief and determination. "I will, Father."
"Come on, I'll take you to a place where you can help yourself fully Awakening your Martial Soul."
As he spoke, Tang Hao prepared to stand up, but due to his weakness, he collapsed to the ground.
Tang San quickly stepped forward to support his father, their hands clasped tightly, as if sharing strength. Tang Hao looked up at Tang San, a smile flashing in his eyes, " Xiao San, you've finally grown up."
Tang San smiled slightly, offering no reply. Looking at his father, the unease and grief in his heart temporarily subsided. He understood that he needed to help his father now, and he also needed to cultivate diligently. Only by becoming stronger could he protect those he wanted to protect. Tang Hao, supported by Tang San, slowly stood up.
He pointed deeper into the forest, the surrounding plants appearing strange and mysterious under the moonlight. Tang San listened to his father's panting breath, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He knew that although his father was physically weak, his heart was firm, and his goals were clear. Tang San believed that as long as they cultivated diligently, they would one day achieve their goals.
After venturing deep into the forest for a long time, Tang Hao finally stopped, then turned to Tang San and said, "Release your Blue Silver Grass, sense the surrounding atmosphere, and see if there's anything different."
Tang San nodded slightly and released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. The Blue Silver Grass burst forth from the ground. Tang San sat cross-legged and released his Divine Power to sense the existence of everything around him.
