Chapitre 475: Tang San’s Mother, Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor (3)
"Not much later, I received the news that the Supreme Pontiff had died from his wounds after returning to Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall has always written this debt in my name, and also the Clear Sky School. The Supreme Pontiff's death no doubt produced enormous troubles for the sect. In order to preserve the sect, your uncle had no choice but to declare me thoroughly struck from the rolls of the sect, and in order to avert Spirit Hall's reprisals, he sealed the sect. It was from that time that, while our Clear Sky School had the reputation of first sect under Heaven, in fact, all the factions that originally adhered to us quietly scattered. Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still kept some contact."
"You know all about what happened later. I planted your mom's seed here, then brought you to the not distant Holy Spirit Village. Living in confusion. What you sensed at that time was right, my old injuries are very serious. Originally, I planned to end my life like that. Unable to return home, unable to protect my wife, what kind of man was I? The Supreme Pontiff was also dead, so I could be considered having avenged Ah Yin. As for Spirit Hall, even though I was of a mind to retaliate, I really didn't want to cause even more trouble for the Clear Sky School. Therefore, the father you saw was a blacksmith, a drunkard. A drunkard indulging in shoddy alcohol every day."
"Until you told me that the spirit you awakened was Blue Silver Grass, that it was the Clear Sky Hammer. Twin Spirits. That moment, I awakened a bit. You were very sensible from childhood, I didn't take care of you, on the contrary it was you who took care of me. I knew that it was impossible for me to reverse the circumstances of the sect or thoroughly avenge your mom with my body in this condition. However, in you I saw hope. Therefore, starting from then, I sent you off to Nuoding Academy, secretly observing your growth. You were even more outstanding than I could have imagined, you also had a good teacher. In a short ten something years, the core of your strength was already formed. Even though I never said it, when I saw you lead your Shrek Seven Devils to smash the Spirit Hall team, my son, I was proud of you."
The previous Tang Hao had never praised Tang San like this, but saying it under circumstances like these, kneeling there, it would be difficult for Tang San to be more moved. Fiercely embracing his father's broken body, he cried bitterly and voicelessly while trembling.
Tang Hao raised his one arm, lightly patting his son's back,
"Silly kid, don't cry. A man of character doesn't always go weeping. I think your mom has perhaps already recovered some awareness in your Blue Silver Domain. Seeing what you look like now, she's definitely very, very happy. No need to feel sad for me. I've gone through even more difficult moments. I didn't lie to you, that arm and leg, I really cut them off myself. That was something I had to do. Because, I hope to be able to live a few more years. To see how you return the sect to glory, how you avenge me and your mom."
Raising his head to look at his father, even though Tang San's eyes were hazy with tears, the will he displayed right now was unprecedentedly resolute,
"I will. I definitely will."
Tang Hao sighed,
"You should have sensed that the old injuries in my body have already faded. I used my spirit power to force the murky blood clots into the arm and leg I cut off, thoroughly severing the trouble of the injuries. Even though only a third of my spirit power still remains, I feel kind of relieved. I did it soon after bringing you to your aunt's place. If I waited for you to return, I knew that anyhow or anyway, you wouldn't let me disable my body. Therefore, I just chose to do it while you weren't here."
"Dad, was it really worth it? Didn't I tell you? Maybe I could find a method to help you recover."
Tang San couldn't help saying.
Tang Hao silently shook his head,
"The one who made the error should take it on himself. I've let down the sect for so many years, I have to account for myself somewhat. Originally, the two spirit bones I received from the sect were in the arm and leg I cut off. Getting them back should also be considered settling accounts. As for the influence my actions had on the sect, I can only rely on you to redeem me. Even though I've become a cripple, since losing my arm and leg, I've felt a lot more relaxed. Because I can finally lay down everything to keep your mom company. Despite only having a third of my spirit power left, my strength is still seventieth ranked. Enough to defend myself. There's no need for you to worry either. I won't leave your mom again hereafter, I'll spend my last years accompanying her like this."
Tang San stupidly watched his father,
"Isn't it said that, after a spirit bone fuses with the body, they're inseparable? Only through death can they separate from the body."
Tang Hao shed a smile,
"That only goes for ordinary Spirit Masters. To Title Douluo, as long as we want to, spirit bones can still be removed. But the price is also equally heavy. Naturally nobody would choose to do it. Among the six spirit bones, the skull bone and torso bone really are inseparable, but the spirit bones of the four limbs can be cut out by cutting off the limb and moreover permanently losing ten ranks of spirit power. Consequently, my spirit power has now dropped to the seventy fifth rank. But don't worry, the two spirit rings I got rid of were only the two lowest ranked ones. Even if only thirty percent of my spirit power remains compared to before, in this world, it would require at least a Title Douluo level to be able to put me to rest. The military glory of Clear Sky can only continue with you in the future."
Having told his son everything, Tang Hao seemed a lot more relaxed, raising his hand to wipe the tears from his son's face,
"I don't want to see you crying again afterwards. I'm very well right now. I've placed my burden on you. Perhaps, this is somewhat heavy for you."
"No, dad. I'm your son."
Tang San used his most resolute tone to make clear his determination to his father.
Let him repay the debts of his parents. Right now, he was already gradually recovering from the pain of his father's handicap, because he also discovered that, right now, Tang Hao really had become different from before. His entire person became relaxed, and the pain also gradually grew more distant.
Tang Hao nodded,
"Good. Once I've finished my accounts, you return to the sect. I will never be able to go back, but you must. Take my place to offer sacrifice to your grandfather. Take my place to kneel before his tomb for three days. Return to the sect to know your ancestors and clan. Listen to your uncle for everything. You can do as you see fit with the enmity with Spirit Hall. After all, I've already killed the main instigator long ago. However, you must reawaken the Clear Sky School at any price. The sect fell because of me, I want you to help it rise again."
"Yes."
Tang San promised respectfully.
His face revealing a faint smiling expression, Tang Hao looked at Tang San and said:
"Perhaps I was too strict with you in the past. In the future you can return here every year to see me and your mom, and tell me about the matters of the outside world. I won't be leaving this place again. I won't injure my body again, because I still have you to entrust with my hopes. And I still have your mom for company."
Suddenly, Tang San seemed to think of something, looking at his father:
"Dad, mom lost a hundred thousand years of cultivation and needs to regrow, then, if outside growth speed factors influenced her, wouldn't that cut down on her cultivation time?"
Tang Hao stared blankly a moment, then sighed:
"There's no need of it. Only by cultivating thousand years can she have true intelligence, a hundred thousand years to be able to take human shape again. I won't have the chance to see her in this lifetime. I can only leave it for the later generations. Once I'm gone, the task of looking after your mom will be left to you."
The expression in Tang San's eyes suddenly became excited,
"No, dad, listen to me. I know a place that can let plants grow thousands of times faster. Only I haven't seen a plant type spirit beast there, all that grew were some heavenly treasure type plants. Perhaps, perhaps mom might recover? After all, she cultivated to the hundred thousand year level once before. Even if it's recultivating, it should be a bit different from ordinary plants."
"Thousands of times?"
Tang Hao's one hand fiercely grabbed Tang San's shoulder,
"Is that true?"
Tang San nodded firmly,
"That place is known as one of the world's three great treasure bowls, it's called the Ice And Fire Yin Yang Well. It's the place Poison Douluo Dugu Bo planted his herbs before. Ordinary people are unable to live there, but to plants, it has enormous benefits. All plants that grow there will mature in a short period of time. Even if I've never seen a plant type spirit beast there, with the profound qualities of the Ice And Fire Yin Yang Well, perhaps mom..."
Tang Hao's originally calm eyes began to display an excited luster. His wife's death was the greatest blow to him in his life.
If speaking of his wife returning alive, even if it was to let him see her face before he died of age, he had no other requests.
Eyes moist, he gazed at that flourishing blue silver grass,
"Ah Yin, did you hear? Our son said that there might be a way to help you recover. Do you know how much I've wanted to hear your voice again? Ah Yin, let's go. I'll bring you there."
Tang San somewhat excitedly pulled on his father's hand,
"Dad, wait a little bit, then we'll leave at once."
While speaking, he took out a dragon zoysia leaf from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and stuffed it into his father's mouth,
"What I have here is dragon zoysia leaf. You've severed two limbs, your vitality is greatly injured. Dragon zoysia leaf can solidify the foundations of vitality. Eat one each month hereafter, and your body should have recovered its health in one year. Dad, you have to stay alive for mom as well. I truly hope there can be a day when our family of three can reunite."
Tang Hao swallowed the dragon zoyzia leaf in one gulp.
His son's words had brought him enormous hope.
