"What? You were all menacing just now, why are you so quiet now? Have you become mute?"
Tang Zhen sneered. No one knows a son better than his father. He had already guessed what his son, Tang Hao, wanted to do just by looking at his expression.
The previous plan had too many flaws, and back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he knew that his son would inevitably guess some things.
Upon his return, he was prepared to confront his son directly.
However, the situation is not too bad. At least this unfilial son is still rational and has not attacked them. He doesn't even dare to question them. As a result, the situation is much easier to control.
After all, his son had great potential and strength, and he didn't want to force him out of the sect, or even push him to the opposite side.
Not to mention that this son also possesses a powerful legacy passed down from their ancestors, so they absolutely cannot force him to leave.
"Hao'er, you guessed right. It was indeed all my doing. Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. I originally planned to lure that beast out and eliminate him with the help of the Abyss Plane, but unexpected things happened one after another, and in the end, that beast appeared."
Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss. At least Xiao San successfully obtained two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Although it was one less than the expected three Soul Ring, it was enough for us to officially begin our god-making plan."
At this moment, Tang Chen spoke indifferently, frankly admitting everything.
After all, Tang Hao had already guessed the truth, so there was no point in hiding it anymore. Moreover, there would be many areas where his grandson would need to help, so it was even less likely that he would hide it.
Besides, they're only plotting against a few Soul Beast, and Soul Beast and Human Clan are mortal enemies. I believe that when faced with matters of great importance concerning the race, my grandson will know how to choose.
"My sect! This is my sect! Hahahaha..."
Tang Chen's words shattered the last glimmer of hope in Tang Hao's heart, causing him to laugh loudly, but his laughter was filled with endless bitterness and sorrow.
He once held other sects, aristocratic families, noble families, and wealthy clans in utter contempt for their shady dealings, and believed that their Clear Sky Sect was unique and would never engage in such despicable acts.
Unfortunately, reality repeatedly woke him up. Their Clear Sky Sect was no different from those aristocratic families, sects, nobles, and wealthy families. He was just too naive and too foolish.
Tang Hao's laughter, however, provoked Tang Zhen, who took it as a mockery from his unfilial son.
"How dare you laugh here? You inherit the same lineage, yet you're so much worse than that beast. If you were stronger than that beast, would your father have resorted to such scheming?"
Wouldn't it be satisfying to smash that beast to death with a single blow?
Tang Zhen was also seething with anger. His own unfilial son had also received the ancestral inheritance and even possessed the Clear Sky Hammer passed down from his ancestors, making him far stronger than that bastard.
Even so, his cultivation progress was still far behind that beast, and he was far inferior in every other aspect.
That monstrous creature was able to fuse billions of Martial Soul thirty years ago and condense such a terrifying existence, almost destroying the Divine Realm with a single blow.
But look at the unfilial son in front of him. He is far inferior to him. Three years ago, he was so suppressed by that beast's aura that he could hardly move.
His strength has plummeted in the past three years, falling to the level of a Soul Douluo, making him utterly useless.
The questions only deepened Tang Hao's sorrow. He had a general idea of why his progress in strength was far inferior to that of his half-brother.
It wasn't a problem with the inheritance of the cultivation method, nor with his own aptitude, but rather that his temperament and even his state of mind had changed, becoming contrary to the tradition. As a result, his cultivation was much less effective, and naturally, he was left far behind by that man.
But can we blame him for this?
It's all because of the schemes and machinations of his own father and grandfather!
" Zhen'er, just tell me!"
Tang Chen raised his hand to stop Tang Zhen, who was about to continue his angry outburst. He then fixed his gaze on his grandson, Tang Hao, and asked in a deep voice, "Hao'er, when you recovered your strength on the battlefield, did you figure out why your strength had plummeted? Can you recover it now?"
This was Tang Chen's biggest concern, since Tang Hao was the main fighting force of their Clear Sky Sect, and even Tang Chen himself, who had reached level 100 and become a god, was far inferior to him.
Especially during this interdimensional war, this grandson unleashed combat power at the God King Level, which is a great cause for celebration.
You know, his grandson's strength inexplicably plummeted three years ago, which almost drove him crazy with worry. It would be wonderful if he could recover.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's anger dissipated, and he looked expectantly at his son Tang Hao.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao's next answer disappointed them greatly!
"My grandson does understand now, but he has completely lost that power, and there's no way he can get it back!"
With a bitter laugh, Tang Hao knew very well that at this point, his original state of mind had completely collapsed, and there was absolutely no chance left.
At this moment, Tang Hao really wanted to curse his father and grandfather—"You guys are really going to kill me!"
Everyone else gets into trouble because of their fathers, but in my case, it's the other way around—I'm the one who gets into trouble because of my sons and grandsons!
Once you fall into this bottomless pit of your own making, there's no way you can climb out.
Unless her father and grandfather are captured and handed over to the Soul Beast Clan for their judgment, and Ah Yin is told the whole truth, and she reaffirms her own principles, it is impossible for her to repair her former state of mind and regain her lost power.
But could he bring himself to do it?
"Since you have completely lost that power, then hand over the legacy of your ancestors. Your father will select a suitable person within the sect to pass it on."
Tang Zhen, his face grim, exchanged a glance with his father Tang Chen, and spoke in a cold voice.
In fact, their original plan was to let Tang Hao take charge of the ancestor's inheritance alone, and Tang Hao himself was powerful enough to be the most suitable candidate.
However, Tang Hao is clearly no longer qualified, so a suitable candidate must be found for that inheritance.
They themselves also yearned for that inheritance immensely. They hadn't spoken up before because they didn't want Tang Hao to misunderstand, but now they didn't need to worry about that anymore.
Tang Hao remained silent, and neither Tang Zhen nor his son Tang Chen spoke again, quietly waiting for Tang Hao's response.
They knew Tang Hao very well, and although the request was somewhat excessive, they all understood that Tang Hao would eventually agree.
Sure enough, after a short silence, Tang Hao raised his hand and pointed, sending out two wisps of Soul Power that entered the brows and minds of Tang Chen and Tang Zhen respectively.
Although the amount of information in that inheritance was vast and boundless, Tang Zhen possessed a 100,000-year-old Head Soul Bone, and his cultivation level had reached 99, so he could completely withstand it.
As for Tang Chen, needless to say, as a level 100 god, he had no problem with handling the vast information of the inheritance.
After releasing the inherited cultivation technique, Tang Hao turned and walked towards the outside of the main hall. Just as he opened the main hall door and was about to step out, he suddenly stopped.
"There's no need to pass this inheritance on to Xiao San; he's not suitable. This cultivation technique will never belong to the Clear Sky Sect, because none of us are qualified to inherit it!"
Having grasped the core essence of this inheritance, Tang Hao knew very well that this kind of cultivation method was not suitable for aristocratic families and sects to inherit. Even if someone could master it in the early stages, it would be of no use, and at most, they would end up like him.
His own son, Tang San, was equally unsuitable, even less qualified than himself.
Over the years, he neglected to educate his son Tang San, who was raised and led by his wife Tang Yuehua and his father. Tang San's temperament was more inclined towards his father and wife Tang Yuehua.
My son has developed a deep cunning at such a young age. With such a mindset, he probably won't even be able to get past the basics of martial arts. There's no need to waste my energy on him.
"Hao!"
Tang Yuehua, who had been waiting outside the main hall, breathed a sigh of relief when her husband, Tang Hao, came out. However, she was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing what her husband said.
She had suggested many times that her husband pass on the family heirloom to their son, Tang San, but Tang Hao had always declined, saying that Xiao San's cultivation was not high enough and that it would be dangerous for him to start practicing too early.
Why would Tang Yuehua reply to such nonsense?
This time, her direct denial of her own son's words angered her even more.
She knew very well that her husband's strength came entirely from the legacy of that ancestor, and even the man who came from the Clear Sky Sect and was considered taboo throughout the continent rose to power because of that legacy.
Such a powerful legacy should naturally be passed down to her son, but now Tang Hao has rejected it. How could she not be furious?
Actually, Tang Yuehua misunderstood by judging others by herself. Back then, Wang Hao deduced the counterfeit cultivation technique based on Tang Hao's physical condition, while Tang Hao was at the Soul Douluo level at the time.
Therefore, to cultivate that inherited skill, one must have a foundation of Soul Douluo level cultivation; otherwise, forcing cultivation will only harm oneself.
It was precisely because of these concerns that Tang Hao had not passed on this inheritance to his son, Tang San.
Now that he understands the core principles of that inheritance, Tang Hao is even less likely to pass it on to his son Tang San.
It's not that I have any prejudice, but I don't want my son to waste his time on this.
Tang Hao never expected that his good intentions would be misunderstood by his wife, which was also due to the couple's lack of communication over the years.
" Yuehua, are you willing to give up everything you have now and live a secluded life with me in the mountains?"
Taking a deep breath, Tang Hao looked solemnly at his wife, his eyes filled with hope.
He was well aware that the world would undergo a series of earth-shattering changes in the future, and that great strength was the foundation and guarantee of everything.
He was essentially ruined, but his wife still had hope.
With the powerful legacy of the Creation Divine Instruction, if his wife can cultivate it successfully, her future achievements will be remarkable.
Although his wife's progress in cultivating the Creation Divine Instruction has been slow over the years, and there has even been a tendency for her to regress.
Previously, Tang Hao didn't understand what was going on and only thought it was due to insufficient qualifications, but now he roughly guessed what was going on.
Clearly, the Creation Divine Instruction places extremely demanding requirements on the cultivator's temperament and state of mind, just like its own inherited system. Only a pure and kind-hearted person like Ah Yin can successfully cultivate it.
His wife herself was quite shrewd and calculating. Over the years, she had assisted her father, Tang Zhen, in handling sect affairs, which further corrupted her character. Naturally, her Creation Divine Instruction would regress instead of improve.
It's the same principle as my own dramatic decline in strength over the past three years.
His wife still has a chance to turn back. As long as she gives up everything in the sect and lives in seclusion in the mountains with him for a few years to recuperate, she can still cultivate the Creation Divine Instruction again.
However, Tang Hao Tang Yuehua still couldn't understand Tang Hao's good intentions, and Tang Yuehua even looked incredulous.
Honestly, Tang Yuehua really wanted to take off her size 37 high heels and throw them at her husband's size 42 face.
My mother now eats well, lives well, has power and influence, and her status in the Clear Sky Sect is second only to my father-in-law. She is also respected by outsiders.
Now you actually dare to say you want to take your old mother to live like a savage in the deep mountains and forests? How can you even say that?
"I'm sorry, Hao, Xiao San is still young and needs my care. I can't leave."
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to slap her, Tang Yuehua responded, her voice even carrying a hint of coldness.
She was truly disappointed in her husband!
"Well!"
Sighing, Tang Hao couldn't help but feel disappointed, even though he had expected this outcome.
As expected, those two sets of inheritances were not something their Clear Sky Sect could possess!
