Er Ming somewhat astounded looked at the dan pearl in Tang San's hand, his yellow crystal big eyes brimming with disbelief.
He originally believed that this ancient spiritual internal dan would be the most difficult to find. After all, he still knew ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King really existed, but he was basically unable to be certain whether ancient spiritual creatures existed. But judging by the aura fluctuations of the pearl in front of him, it was clearly an internal dan. Moreover, the bloodline aura hidden within the energy it contained wasn't something any current spirit beast on the present Continent possessed.
"This is the internal dan of a Ten Headed Ardent Yang Serpent, I killed it back when I left Slaughter City through the Hell Road. Can it be used?"
Tang San asked expectantly.
Er Ming nodded,
"No problem. The bloodline of this internal dan belongs to ancient spiritual creatures. Then of all the three things, we only lack the ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King."
Tang San nodded:
"I'll find it. No matter what, I'll definitely bring it back."
Er Ming said with a somewhat wry smile:
"Remember, it must be a living specimen. If the ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King loses its vitality, it won't be effective."
"Living?"
Tang San looked dumbstruck at Er Ming.
Er Ming said:
"The ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King's medicinal effect is formidable, we don't need all of it, it's enough to use its ginseng tassel. But it must be a living specimen. Therefore, you have to bring a ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King here. Only, you don't need to worry about this right now, because you still have to reach other requirements."
The three treasures were just the first condition. Tang San's heart was already somewhat prepared. No matter how difficult, for Xiao Wu, he wouldn't shrink back.
Er Ming said:
"The second condition you have to reach is to improve your own cultivation to the Title Douluo level. You should be aware that your Title Douluo are equal to our hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Therefore, only at this level will you have the ability to save Xiao Wu."
Ninetieth rank and up was Title Douluo. Tang San was now sixtieth rank, and very many Spirit Masters were never able to climb to that highest peak of the Spirit Master world in their lifetime. But Tang San believed that, with his aptitude, he could completely accomplish it. Only, this life would inevitably take a bit long.
Er Ming continued:
"The third requirement is actually also the final step. After you possess the strength of a Title Douluo and moreover all these three things, you can return here. Me and big brother will help you restore Xiao Wu. However, in the resurrection process, you must still pay a very large price, that is the third condition."
"Xiao Wu's death was in order to sacrifice her own ability for you. In order to resurrect her, you have to return the things she gave you, whether the spirit ring or the spirit bone. At the same time, there's still an even more pitiless condition. You must completely assign your own Title Douluo nine spirit rings to Xiao Wu. Such equivalent to a hundred thousand years of cultivation can wake her cultivation. Your spirit ring she fused with, and your spirit bone will again return to her body. Further adding the effect of the three great treasures, Xiao Wu can be restored, and her strength will also substantially increase, restoring her proper hundred thousand year spirit beast strength. At that time, she will actually also be truly human."
When Er ming said this, he carefully observed Tang San's facial expression. Even though he already had some appreciation for Tang San, due to lacking any trust in humans, he would still examine Tang San.
He indeed caught a change in expression from Tang San's face, but astonishing him was that Tang San's expression unexpectedly became as if relieved from a burden.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's fuzzy body in his embrace, muttering to himself:
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I'll definitely bring you back to life. I'll cultivate hard, fight to reach the Title Douluo level soon. Grab a ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng Ging. When that time comes, we can be together again."
"Hey. Did you hear the third condition I stated?"
Er Ming couldn't help asking.
Tang San raised his head to look at him,
"I heard it. Isn't it just to give all my spirit rings to Xiao Wu, and the spirit bone?"
Er Ming was flabbergasted:
"Don't you know what result that will have for you? This is equivalent to shifting your own spirit to Xiao Wu. You'll lose your spirit and all spirit rings, years of cultivation ruined in one morning."
Tang San looked at Er Ming, his gaze clear and free from impurities, countering:
"Is this very important?"
Er Ming was dumbfounded,
"Isn't it? You're a Spirit Master."
Regarding Spirit Masters, and especially the later Title Douluo level Spirit Masters, what did losing their spirit and spirit rings mean? Even more when he still had to return a spirit bone. Years of cultivation ruined at once.
Tang San's expression seemed very relaxed,
"Nothing is more important than Xiao Wu's resurrection. First let alone that I still have another spirit, so what if I didn't? Thank you, brother ape. Within twenty years, I'll definitely resurrect Xiao Wu here."
His tone was very calm, but the resolve within that calm made even the Titan Giant Ape, this king of the forest, startled. What a man was this! Was he really human?
Tang San held Xiao Wu in front of him, kissing her spotless crystalline white fur,
"Brother ape, I'll leave."
A yellow light flashed in Er Ming's eyes,
"Are you bringing Xiao Wu?"
Tang San nodded,
"I won't part with her again, ever, until I die."
Er Ming's eyes displayed a hesitant light. He originally wanted to have Xiao Wu stay here, protected by him and Da Ming. But judging by the complete conviction of this man, he would use his life to protect Xiao Wu.
Recalling the appearance of Xiao Wu quietly contemplating here every day over the past five years, Er Ming knew that if Xiao Wu was still aware, she would also wish to be together with Tang San.
Er Ming's gaze couldn't help falling on the surface of the lake. Just at this time, a deep voice rose from below the water,
"Let him bring Xiao Wu. Tang San, remember, if one day you feel you can't protect Xiao Wu, return here. Me and Er Ming are both Xiao Wu's best brothers, and also yours."
With a deep breath, Tang San shook off the teardrops, slowly bowing towards the lake, then again to Er ming,
"Thank you. I'll leave the Sacred Soul Grass to you."
Carefully holding Xiao Wu, stretching his legs, he entered the forest without turning his head.
Er Ming's gaze followed Tang San's back as he disappeared in the forest. Fiercely blasting a punch at the empty air, the air immediately erupted with a breaking sound like a sorrowful roar.
"It's my fault, I couldn't protect Xiao Wu."
This forest king's eyes were brimming with a ruthless mood.
An immense crashing sound resounded from the water, as an immense bull's head rose from the center of the lake,
"Perhaps, all this is the will of Heaven. Tang San, this youth gives an impression that makes even me tremble. Even though he didn't say so, the hatred in his heart might be able to destroy a great many things. His feelings for Xiao Wu are beyond my understanding, but I believe that he will definitely protect her. He's an intelligent person, he won't make the same mistake twice."
Er Ming fell disappointed to the ground,
"I hope so. Xiao Wu really is foolish, and this Tang San is very foolish too. But, his foolishness is rather admirable."
Stepping into the great forest, while Tang San cautiously held Xiao Wu in his arms, the expression in his eyes gradually grew severe. The crystal clear blue in his eyes seemed to condense like ice, an ice cold killing intent spreading out. Despite not releasing the Deathgod Domain, the air around him grew harsh.
The only thing that didn't suffer from the killing intent, was perhaps that warm embrace. Because Xiao Wu was there.
An ice cold aura filled the air, and released simultaneously was that blue gleaming brilliance. Different from the full of life aura it had before, this time, that blue light seemed to contain endless killing intent, as if transmitting an order to hunt and kill.
The same Blue Silver Domain caused somewhat different effects under different moods. The affected blue silver grass was no longer filled with respect and reverence. Right now they were like soldiers led by the Blue Silver Domain, an equally austere aura releasing along with the Blue Silver Domain, each strand of blue silver grass like a soldier under Tang San's command. Swiftly gathering all kinds of information, it was transmitted to Tang San's mind.
Tang San had never been a person to act on his anger, however, Xiao Wu's death agitated him immensely. It also ignited the flames of true slaughter intent in his heart. He would retaliate, and this retaliation would start from the Man Faced Demon Spider that put him at an impasse here in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lowering his head, he stared at the sound asleep little rabbit in his arms. Tang San softly said:
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, I won't let off any man or beast who harmed you. I'll have them repay tenfold or a hundredfold what they owe."
The Blue Silver Emperor had a powerful ability for memory, and especially that poison still remaining on the Man Faced Demon Spider from Tang San's Eight Spider Lances.
With Xiao Wu incarnated as Tang San's sixth spirit ring, and still that hundred thousand year level fourth spirit bone, Tang San's strength could undergo a Heaven and earth revolving change.
Under the ordinary circumstances, it wasn't easy even for Title Douluo to possess a spirit bone. Let alone a sixtieth ranked Spirit Emperor like him. Twin spirits as well as four great spirit bones, the current Tang San's full strength wasn't inferior to an eightieth ranked Spirit Douluo.
Under the effect of Xiao Wu's hundred thousand year spirit ring, Tang San's spirit power had directly climbed from the sixtieth rank to the sixty fifth rank, stepping across one level, he had not only obtained a spirit ability, but his own attributes had also obtained all round growth. The surface of his skin showed a healthy faintly red color, and the muscles, bones and vessels all over his body had undergone a new rebirth.
