**Chapter 125: Tang Xiao's Son is Born**
"When Tang Hao turns thirty, Tang Wei probably won't send both brothers to train together, will he?"
"After all, by then, Tang Xiao already has a wife and child!"
What Gu Ziyi was pondering was the scenario from the original story, where Tang Wei sent Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to train together.
At that time, neither brother had a wife or children to care for—they were both single and without familial responsibilities.
But now, Tang Xiao has a wife, and his child will soon be born. It would be rather cruel to send him away from the sect for training.
After all, anyone with a family generally wants to stay by their side.
Moreover, by that time, Tang Xiao would already be 45 years old.
"Forget it, let it go!"
"With my arrival, the entire future has changed."
"Tang San should still reincarnate into this world after jumping off the cliff. The time, place, and even his parents may differ from the canon..."
Since the Soul Master Competition, Gu Ziyi had been paying special attention to information regarding Ah Yin.
However, in recent years, no girl with innate full soul power had been registered in the records of new Soul Masters at the Martial Soul Hall.
No such talent had been recorded, even when looking several years back. Only Bibi Dong had such extraordinary talent recently.
Gu Ziyi could only speculate that, like Xiao Tao, Ah Yin chose not to register with the Martial Soul Hall out of fear of exposing her identity.
Although registering as a new Soul Master at the Martial Soul Hall provides a stipend, there is a real risk of exposure.
He certainly wanted to intercept Ah Yin, but if he couldn't locate her in advance, there was little he could do.
As a result, Gu Ziyi spent more of his time cultivating.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten about his pursuit of the Seagod's Heart.
Through conventional means, Gu Ziyi knew it was impossible for him to obtain the Seagod's Heart from Emperor Xue Ye.
So, there was only one option: stealing it.
All he needed to do was find the location of the Tiandou royal family's treasure vault and then figure out a way to infiltrate it.
Gu Ziyi possessed an Invisibility Talisman. As long as he could determine the vault's location, he could attempt to sneak in.
Even if he were discovered, he could use the soul bone ability of his sword, the Fallen Peach Blossom, to escape.
Thus, his top priority was locating the Tiandou royal family's treasure vault.
Of course, this plan would only work if the Seagod's Heart was actually stored within the royal family's treasures. If the item was being carried by Emperor Xue Ye himself, it would be far more difficult to acquire.
If that were the case, theft would be his only remaining option.
Any other method—even attempting to rob the emperor—would risk exposure and could lead to a declaration of war against the empire.
The Martial Soul Hall was not yet prepared for such reckless action, and no preparations had been made for such a drastic move.
So Gu Ziyi could only resort to theft. If he failed and faced the worst-case scenario, he would have no choice but to obtain the Heart of Poseidon by destroying the Heaven Dou Empire.
...
"Why is it taking so long?"
"It's been three days already. Will Ying'er be okay?"
While Gu Ziyi continued his cultivation and tried to locate the treasure of the Heaven Dou royal family, the Clear Sky Clan was in turmoil at this time.
Three days ago, Tang Xiao's wife went into labor.
However, the process had already lasted three days, and she still hadn't given birth.
This was obviously an extremely difficult and serious labor.
Because Tang Xiao's wife was also a powerful Soul Master like her husband, both mother and child were still alive. If she were an ordinary Soul Master, both she and the baby in her womb would have perished from the prolonged delivery.
Even so, Tang Xiao was very worried about the situation.
After all, a labor lasting this long posed significant risks to both the mother and the newborn.
"Don't worry, both of their breathing is stable, and their lives aren't in danger for now!"
Tang Chen spoke up to calm his grandson. After sending Tang Hao to the Slaughter City, he had remained there secretly for some time, mainly to observe his grandson's situation. Once he discovered that Tang Hao had fully adapted to the Slaughter City, Tang Chen returned to the sect.
He understood that a young eagle must learn to fly on its own.
Therefore, he knew he couldn't always protect Tang Hao in secret. Someday, he wouldn't be there to watch over him. Whether Tang Hao could leave the Slaughter City would depend entirely on himself.
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang Xiao finally felt a little reassured.
But the strained cries of his wife did not stop, so his relief was only slight.
"Uuuuuuuuuu~"
It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, the cry of a baby came from within the room.
"Good… that's great..."
"The child is finally born; it's been three days!"
Hearing the baby's cry, Tang Xiao finally relaxed his nerves completely, tears welling up in his eyes.
After a moment, the midwife came out holding a baby in her arms.
"Elder Sect Master, Sect Master, the eldest young master is a boy. The Sect Master's wife has given birth to a son!"
After leaving the room with the baby, the midwife joyfully reported the news to Tang Chen and the others.
"How is Ying'er?"
Although Tang Xiao was overjoyed by the news, he immediately inquired about his wife's condition.
"The Lady is fine. She was exhausted from the difficult labor and fell asleep right after giving birth!"
The midwife responded quickly.
"That's good, that's good!"
Upon hearing that his wife was fine, Tang Xiao truly felt relieved and took his son from the midwife's arms.
Looking at his small child, Tang Xiao felt immense joy, smiling ear to ear with happiness.
"Hahaha, I have a son!"
"Father, Grandfather, you now have a grandson and great-grandson!"
Tang Xiao laughed happily while proudly showing his son to Tang Wei and Tang Chen.
"Yes, my eldest son is now a father too!"
Tang Wei was naturally delighted to now have a grandson.
"That's right, Xiao'er. Your son's talent is extraordinary. He already possesses some Soul Power in his body right after being born. He will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future. You must nurture him well," Tang Chen said, clearly pleased. At the same time, he sensed his great-grandson's innate Soul Power, present right from birth.
This moved him deeply, prompting him to urge Tang Xiao to cultivate the child with great care.
"Really?"
"Hahaha, well then, my son is a genius!" Tang Wei and Tang Xiao were thrilled upon hearing this. The little one was a prodigy, and they couldn't be happier with the news!
"Xiao'er, give your little genius a name!" Tang Wei smiled as he encouraged his son to name the baby.
"Let's call him..."
Tang Xiao began to say the name he had been thinking of for a long time. But before completing the thought, he suddenly changed his mind: "Tang San. We'll name him Tang San! In the future, we must tell him that for his arrival into this world, his mother endured three days of labor and great difficulty to finally bring him here."
"Tang San, it is!"
Tang Wei initially hesitated but, after hearing Tang Xiao's reasoning, he decisively agreed with the name.
"Tang San, yes. I hope he grows into a good boy who knows how to repay kindness and be grateful in the future!" Tang Chen praised, further endorsing the choice.
Thus, it was decided that Tang Xiao's son would be named Tang San.
At that moment, Tang San, cradled in his father's arms, looked around in confusion at everything happening before him.
Although he couldn't fully understand the conversation between Tang Xiao and the others, Tang San realized one thing: he wasn't dead.
No, it wasn't that he wanted to die or believed he hadn't perished before, but he understood now that he had reincarnated into this body.
In his previous life, he had died by leaping off a cliff. He could still vividly recall the excruciating pain when his body struck the bottom of the cliff.
Though the pain had lasted only a fleeting moment, the memory still made him shiver.
Once he realized he had reincarnated as a baby, Tang San initially resisted the idea.
After all, having lived a long life already, the thought of starting over as an infant naturally frustrated him.
But as he began to accept that he had been reborn after death, offering him another chance at life, Tang San gradually embraced this new reality.
He just couldn't understand why he retained all his memories after reincarnation.
Would his memories eventually fade as time passed, leaving him no different from a typical newborn baby?
'No, I don't want that!'
Fearing this possibility, Tang San was horrified. He absolutely didn't want to lose his memories.
However, after several days of unease and no signs of memory loss, he began to relax slightly.
To safeguard against this dreaded memory loss, Tang San decided to start practicing the Xuantian Technique from his previous life.
It was virtually unheard of for someone to begin cultivating as an infant. But now that he had the opportunity to attempt it, Tang San certainly wouldn't pass it up.
'It works! It's actually possible to begin practicing as a newborn!'
Upon discovering that he could indeed cultivate even as a baby, Tang San felt a surge of excitement.
This realization helped him embrace his reincarnation more sincerely.
And now, in this life, he had both a father and a mother; he was no longer an orphan.
This newfound reality filled Tang San with joy, allowing him to accept everything with open arms.
...
"Tang San?"
"Tang Xiao's son is named Tang San?"
Gu Ziyi was shocked when he learned through various channels that Tang Xiao's wife had given birth to a son and that he was named Tang San.
He had thought that Tang San might reincarnate into the Douluo Continent by other means, but he never expected that he would actually be reborn as Tang Xiao's son.
Judging by Tang Xiao's reasoning behind the name, it was difficult to determine if this was truly the same Tang San from the original work.
But based on the name alone, Gu Ziyi felt that this had to be the future God-King, Tang San.
Otherwise, it would be an incredible coincidence.
It could only mean that Tang San was destined to arrive in this world.
When Gu Ziyi learned of his arrival, he felt a bit uneasy and spent several days pondering the matter.
For reasons he could not explain, upon learning about Tang San's presence, Gu Ziyi naturally regarded him as an enemy or opponent.
Perhaps it was because he knew Tang San was the protagonist of the original work, who stood against the Spirit Hall and ultimately destroyed it.
Moreover, the Immortal Grass that Gu Ziyi had obtained was something that originally belonged to Tang San, but he had taken that opportunity instead. In his heart, Gu Ziyi subconsciously felt that he had stolen what rightfully belonged to Tang San.
Therefore, it was normal for him to see Tang San as an enemy.
Later, Gu Ziyi finally calmed himself. After all, even if Tang San arrived early, there was nothing to worry about.
At the moment, he was just a newborn baby.
Furthermore, in the original work, the reason Tang San ultimately triumphed was largely due to the many opportunities he received along the way.
Now, however, the opportunity that provided Tang San with the greatest support—those Immortal Herbs—had already been seized by Gu Ziyi.
The only significant opportunities remaining for Tang San were the divine inheritance of the Sea God and the divine inheritance of the Asura God.
'Hmm... Xiao Wu should also be considered an opportunity for Tang San because, with her, he could later receive sacrifices from two soul beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming.'
However, now~
Since Tang San arrived earlier in the timeline, he likely wouldn't have the chance to meet Xiao Wu in his youth.
After all, many years would pass before she chose to transform into a human.
Although Gu Ziyi's arrival had affected many people in the Douluo Continent, it shouldn't have any impact on the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, especially the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Wu's timeline for transforming into a human shouldn't change.
"...a change. Both Tang San and Qian Renxue arrived earlier in the timeline. It's possible that Xiao Wu is ready to be able to transform into a human on a whim one day."
"By now, she should have already reached the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
Gu Ziyi no longer believed in the canonical timeline.
If possible, he still felt that eliminating Tang San early on would be the best course of action.
However, he couldn't tell Qian Xunji what he knew about Tang San and his future actions to convince him to deal with Tang San while he was still in the cradle.
Moreover, even if his teacher believed his words, no one in the Spirit Hall would dare to act against Tang San at this time.
Tang Chen was still with the Clear Sky Sect!
Thus, the idea of eliminating Tang San in the cradle was unrealistic.
Gu Ziyi decided not to involve himself in such matters.
Tang San's premature arrival undoubtedly brought a sense of urgency to him.
Previously, he had assumed that even if Tang San appeared in this world, it would happen ten or twenty years later. He never expected it to happen so soon.
With this realization, Gu Ziyi devoted himself even more to his cultivation.
After hearing this shocking news, it took him a year to successfully reach Level 60.
Bai Lu reached Level 44, and Ning Shuangjiang reached Level 53 during this year.
"Senior Yu Long, I have to trouble you to protect me again!"
After reaching Level 60, what Gu Ziyi had to do was naturally to self-condense a new Soul Ring for himself.
Even though he was in the Tiandou Temple's training room, Gu Ziyi still asked Yu Long to protect him.
"It is an honor to protect Your Highness!"
Yu Long said with a smile.
He said this very seriously.
He really believed that.
Since he became Gu Ziyi's protector, he had personally witnessed his step-by-step cultivation and saw with his own eyes how terrifying Gu Ziyi's cultivation speed was.
So he knew very well that this boy's future was limitless, and it would only be a matter of time before Gu Ziyi surpassed him in cultivation.
"Shuangjiang, Lulu, please help me with my protection!"
Gu Ziyi then turned to Ning Shuangjiang and Bai Lu.
"Huhum, Your Highness, let's begin!"
"Yes, we also want to see how Your Highness condenses your own Soul Ring!"
Ning Shuangjiang and Bai Lu naturally said there was no problem, and at the same time, they insisted that he begin.
They had also learned not long ago that all of his Soul Rings were self-condensed. Aside from being shocked by this method, they were naturally very curious and wanted to see it with their own eyes.
Yu Long smiled silently as he watched. He too had been just as curious as these two at first.
