"That day, I was stupefied. Of course I knew what a hundred thousand year spirit beast meant. But, the love I had for Ah Yin diluted everything. What about hundred thousand year spirit beasts? As long as she entered the mature phase, she would be truly human, not different in any way. Thus, I confessed my love to Ah Yin."
"Your mom really was very kindhearted. The one she liked had always been me, but because of her own identity, as well as being afraid to hurt big brother, she'd never said anything. Where the water flows, a canal is born. I decided to bring her back home and formally introduce her to father. Even though I knew it would be very dangerous, your grandfather was a Title Douluo, and could completely see through Ah Yin, I still didn't want to wrong Ah Yin in any way. I believed that your grandfather would understand. As long as we stayed hidden after marrying and let Ah Yin quickly cultivate to the mature phase, nobody would be able to tell that she was a hundred thousand year spirit beast again. Then, she would be truly human.
At this point, Tang Hao's voice halted, looking at the blue silver emperor in front of him, his heart seemed to tremble slightly.
"But, on our way to Clear Sky School, we ran into major trouble. Originally, as early as when the three of us started travelling the Continent together, we'd already drawn the attention of Spirit Hall. After all, me and your uncle represented the new generation of Clear Sky School, how would Spirit Hall fail to notice us? And they also noticed Ah Yin who was travelling with us. I was thirty five that year, but my spirit power had already reached the eighty fourth rank. The one who came from Spirit Hall was a Title Douluo. Even though his spirit power was more formidable than mine, against my Clear Sky Hammer, he couldn't gain an advantage, and I destroyed his leg. I brought Ah Yin to swiftly run far away. I knew that we couldn't return to Clear Sky School."
"Sure enough, before too long, Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff at the time sent down orders, condemning Clear Sky School. Demanding the Clear Sky School hand over me and Ah Yin. At that time, your grandfather's disease had already attacked his vitals. Suddenly learning about this, and moreover being unable to find me, in a fury, he passed away. I also couldn't see him before his final moment."
At this point, Tang Hao couldn't keep from shivering, a profound pain and regret visible in his eyes.
Tang San silently listened from the side. He could completely understand how his father felt at that time.
Unable to return home, hesitating at a loss. Not knowing how to confront his family.
His grandfather's passing was no doubt an extremely heavy blow to his father.
After a long time, Tang Hao's mood quietly calmed.
"Despite big brother just having cultivated to the Title Douluo level at that time, and there was also no lack of powers among the clan elders, even if we were the number one sect under Heaven, having lost your grandfather's control, all influences under the sect still grew restless. Facing the step by step coercion of Spirit Hall, even your uncle could be said to only make progress with great difficulty. Fortunately, our Clear Sky School's might was valiant, and even Spirit Hall absolutely wouldn't dare act blindly without thinking."
"Me and your mom got married. But our days were also ones of fleeing to the east and hiding in the west. Despite knowing I wronged her like this, despite very much wanting to return to see the sect, I couldn't. With this matter gradually settled with much difficulty, I couldn't return to stir up trouble for the sect again. I couldn't even go pay my respects to your grandfather. Even afterwards, I never returned. Because I wasn't qualified to pay my respects to father. I was a disgrace to the sect."
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help speaking up,
"Dad, no matter what you owe the sect, I will definitely repay it double on your behalf in the future."
Hearing his son's words, Tang Hao's face revealed some gratification, continuing:
"That time, fortunately I still had your mom at my side. Even if I gave up everything for her, I've never regretted it. If I could choose again from the start, I would still choose her, but I would also return to protect the sect."
"One day twenty one years ago, your mom was pregnant. With you. At that time I truly felt very blessed, I no longer had thoughts of fighting for victory, I only wanted to live properly together with your mom. I don't know if it was because I was together with your mom, but in those days my spirit power advanced by leaps and bounds, and that day you were born, was just the moment my spirit power reached the eighty ninth rank. And your mom, had also finally entered the final mature human form stage. But it was that day, that Spirit Hall's people came to find us."
Baleful anger leaked from the space between Tang Hao's eyebrows, and his remaining left hand tightened into a fist,
"Spirit Hall truly put on a great parade. The Supreme Pontiff of the time led them personally, and there was still two Title Douluo, as well as a large number of Spirit Hall experts. They surrounded the place me and your mom stayed at. At that time, your mom had just given birth to you, and the foundation of her vitality was greatly weakened, her strength greatly discounted. The Supreme Pontiff proposed to let me and you leave, but he would take your mom. How could I let him have his wish fulfilled? An unavoidable battle ensued."
At this point, Tang Hao's eyes had already become deep red. Tang San didn't need to ask to guess how bitter the battle of that time must have been. Having just stepped into the ninetieth rank but not yet having obtained the ninth spirit ring, his father would have confronted three Title Douluo, including the Supreme Pontiff.
Even if he also had two spirit bones, how could the Supreme Pontiff not have the same?
"Very soon, I was seriously injured. The conclusion already seemed settled. It was at this moment that your mom walked out holding you. That moment, she seemed very calm. Seeing her walk out of the house, Spirit Hall's people stopped fighting, watching her quietly. Your mom indifferently asked them, did they know what ability a hundred thousand year Blue Silver Emperor possessed? Did they know what the highest mystery of the Blue Silver Domain was? The Supreme Pontiff was stumped by her question."
"Your mom told them that the highest secret of the Blue Silver Domain, was immortality. Nobody could kill her. Even fewer could obtain her spirit ring and spirit bone. Unless she killed herself. Afterwards, she proposed to the Supreme Pontiff that, as long as they agreed to let me and you off, she would come with them, and moreover kill herself to offer her spirit ring and spirit bone. It was me, it was all my fault, I didn't have the strength to protect her. The Supreme Pontiff didn't seem to want to thoroughly offend the Clear Sky School, and very quickly, he agreed to your mom's proposal."
"At that time, my injuries were so serious I wanted to die, even to the extent that I couldn't speak. I could only watch helplessly as your mom walked over to my side, placing you in my arms. That moment, I really hated that I couldn't die immediately. Ah Yin, you really were silly, why would you pick that choice?"
Tang Hao's body shook violently because of the agitation, teardrops once again flowing uninhibited.
"Your mom's voice echoed in my ears. She said, she would be mine forever, never to be possessed by others. The next moment, in front of me, she killed herself..."
Intense grief instantly pervaded every corner of this narrow cave. Tang San's body shook just like his father. He could naturally imagine that moment, how his father suffered, how helpless he was.
Suppressed by three great Title Douluo as well as countless Spirit Hall experts.
Watching the death of the one he loved the most in front of him. What could be more painful than this?
Tang Hao's lips trembled, for a long time unable to speak another word, only softly caressing the blue silver grass his wife had become in front of him.
Tang San also didn't speak. Tears flowing down his cheeks, he knocked his head against the ground nine times towards the blue silver grass in front of him.
He knew that his mother had passed in order to protect him and his dad. And all of this, everything, was because of Spirit Hall.
An unknown length of time later, Tang Hao's mood recovered slightly,
"The death of a hundred thousand year spirit beast will produce a formidable magnetic field. Even Spirit Hall didn't have a hundred thousand year spirit ring, and therefore, they didn't know. Your mom didn't deceive them, with the Blue Silver Domain, she was originally immortal. The highest mystery of the Blue Silver Domain, called: Wildfire Blows Without End, Spring Wind Blows Rebirth. No matter how serious the injury, she would still come back to life within forty nine days after her death. However, she chose to kill herself, used her own hundred thousand years of cultivation as the price to kill herself. Moreover, unconditionally pouring herself into me to become a spirit ring. She, truly merged with me."
"Under the effect of the formidable magnetic field your mom's death left behind, Spirit Hall's numerous experts attacked simultaneously, but were still unable to harm me. They could only helplessly watch me and Ah Yin's spirit ring fuse together. To become the youngest Title Douluo on the Continent at that time. A Title Douluo possessing a hundred thousand year spirit ring is basically another concept than ordinary Title Douluo. At that time, not only did my body heal, but my strength rose dramatically. Ah Yin's death, made me insane. That fight continued for a full three days and three nights. I held you in my arms, pouring out strength to attack. I don't know how many of Spirit Hall's experts died in my hands, and of the two Title Douluo the Supreme Pontiff brought, one died and one was injured, and he himself was seriously wounded from my strike. My injuries were also equally sustained at that time."
"Your mom had died, but she didn't leave a corpse. All that remained was her spirit bone and a seed. After seriously wounding my opponents, I gradually came to my senses. I knew that if I kept fighting, perhaps I would be able to kill them all, but that wasn't what Ah Yin wanted. There was still you, I couldn't ignore you. You were the flesh and blood of Ah Yin and me. Therefore, I brought you away. Dragged my injured body away. Found this place. This was the place where me and Ah Yin originally got married, it was she who brought me here. I planted the seed she left behind, I knew that this was her, just her without the hundred thousand years of cultivation. In this life and this age, it was impossible for me to see her human form again, but I would always protect her."
