Douluo Dalu: Volume 38: Resurrection! My Beloved

by Tang Jia San Shao

  “No. mom, don’t say anything.”

  Tang San fell to his knees in front of his mother,

  “Yes, when I was small, I was envious when I saw the other children who had mothers. I thirsted for your love. But it’s not your fault you couldn’t be with me and dad! Parents never owe their children, no matter when or how. That you brought me into this world is already the biggest, biggest favor, one I’ll never be able to repay in my life. Without you, there would be no me. My life was given by you. There are no other debts beside that. Mom, don’t worry. Helping you recover won’t harm me. I still have to properly show my filial respect to you both afterwards. And I still have Xiao Wu to take care of. How could I not treasure myself? Our family can finally be happy together. I don’t want to put a time limit on this.”

  Listening to Tang San, Ah Yin really want to cry, but she couldn’t produce tears yet. Tang Hao helped Tang San up,

  “Don’t talk like that, you’ll make us hurt even more.”

  Tang San nodded, raising his head to look at his mother,

  “Then I’ll begin now. Mom, you just have to open your mind wide, sense the energy I transmit to you and blend it with all the energy around you.”

  While he spoke, blue golden light flashed. Tang San released his Blue Silver Emperor, and at the same time also released his Blue Silver Domain.

  The blood red seventh spirit ring flashed. To be precise, this was now the second of Tang San’s currently four spirit rings. The golden blue color spread all over his body, and Tang San entered his spirit avatar state. In that instant, under the effect of the Blue Silver Avatar, the Blue Silver Domain expanded exponentially, quickly spreading out and enveloping his parents and Xiao Wu, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin, then crossing the mountain walls, spreading out into the Sunset Forest beyond.

  On his forehead, the Seagod trident brand flashed, his boundless mental strength completely blending into the Blue Silver Domain, strand after strand of golden blue Blue Silver Emperor issuing from Tang San and quietly twisting around Ah Yin’s leaves. Each of Ah Yin’s broad leaves was tightly wound around by one of Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor.

  Tang San flew up, hovering just above his mother, the strands of Blue Silver Emperor like a bridge connecting the two of them together.

  Ah Yin softly cried out:

  “Little San, your Blue Silver Domain is already at the peak level?”

  Tang San nodded lightly in the air,

  “Mom, pay attention to absorbing the energy I send you.”

  The Blue Silver Domain suddenly changed, the previous golden blue suddenly turning completely ocean blue. In just this instant, the parts of the Sunset Forest enveloped by the Blue Silver Domain had turned into a blue ocean.

  Within the forest, each blue silver grass gently swayed along with a special rhythm, scattering faint traces of gentle golden light that merged into that blue world, and then gathered towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the heart of the forest. To be precise, it condensed towards the emperor of this blue silver world, Tang San.

  Blue Silver Domain, final evolved ability, All River Run Into The Sea, launched.

  Along with his strength rising to the Title Douluo level, Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain had also evolved once again. If the spirit avatar was where a domain displayed its true strength, then, the strength of Title Douluo was the essential factor for a domain to reveal its highest level.

  Rich blue light gently poured into Ah Yin through where the Blue Silver Emperor connected her with Tang San. After passing Tang San’s gathering and filtering, this energy had already become the purest Blue Silver Emperor energy. Their similar blood let mother and son share energy without any obstruction.

  The Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea, effects: anywhere with blue silver grass, the domain can change the vitality of the blue silver grass into any form of energy the Blue Silver Emperor requires, and add it to oneself. As long as there is still blue silver grass, the Blue Silver Emperor’s energy will never wane. This energy can change into vitality, but also spirit power or mental power. This ultimate domain effect can undoubtedly place the Blue Silver Emperor in an invincible position when fighting opponents of equal level in a forest.

  And at this moment, Tang San was drawing support from this ability to transform the energy of all the blue silver grass in the forest into Blue Silver Emperor energy, then using himself as intermediary to transfer it to his mother, raising her cultivation.

  Such a method could also only be used between mother and son, and also required Tang San to take the leading position, unless Ah Yin’s strength one day surpassed his.

  In the Sunset Forest, all the spirit beasts restlessly hid in their nests, the infinite energy waves making them not dare move. With the enormous energy spreading through the entire forest, the lowest level blue silver grass for the first time became the masters of the great forest. Summoned by the Blue Silver Emperor, they released the breath of their life without reservation.

  Nourished by that blue light, Ah Yin’s body grew exponentially. Each leaf began to grow as transparent as sapphire, the golden veins on top also becoming increasingly large. She could clearly feel her cultivation grow at an unprecedented rate.

  Ah Yin originally had a hundred thousand years of experience with cultivating, and naturally knew what to do with this perfectly suitable energy, and could also do it appropriately. Only, her heart was somewhat restless.

  She of course understood the Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea ability, she had possessed it herself back before she decided to take human form. She absolutely didn’t want to see her people consume too much of their vitality in order to resurrect her. But the leader was Tang San, she could only passively accept it, and she was even more unwilling to harm her son’s heart.

  Tang San seemed to understand his mother’s heart. What he did next let Ah Yin put her heart at rest.

  His right hand moved. That dark Seagod Trident stabbed into the earth fell into Tang San’s palm, the Seagod’s Light once again becoming the bridge between Tang San and this golden trident. Dazzling golden light rose towards the sky, the divine aura representing the Seagod’s strength spreading out along with the Blue Silver Domain. Like a vast ocean restoring life to all living things spread to each corner of the Blue Silver Domain, enveloping the entire Sunset Forest. The vitality of the blue silver grass already withering from releasing too much of their life force was reignited within the Seagod’s power assigned to the Seagod Trident. And Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain had now become completely golden. To be precise, what he used now should be called the Seagod Blue Silver Domain.

  A domain like this might not have any true use in battle, but it had enormous benefits to the blue silver grass that absorbed the energy.

  The Seagod’s Light alone could swiftly recover Ah Yin’s cultivation, let alone when it was conducted into the Blue Silver Emperor energy like this. This was also Tang San’s trump card for resurrecting his mother. It was because of the existence of the Seagod Trident that he didn’t need to worry about the Blue Silver Domain’s All Rivers Run Into The Sea harming the blue silver grass here. It was also just because of the Seagod’s divine power that he was even more certain of being able to help his mother recover her human form.

  Sensing the effect the Seagod’s Light had on all the blue silver grass, Ah Yin was relieved, and put all her heart and all her mind into absorbing the pure energy her son passed to her.

  The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin wa originally a place that gathered the spiritual influence of heaven and earth. Ah Yin had been nourished here for five years, and her root as Blue Silver Emperor had already reawakened. The major difference between plant type spirit beasts and animal spirit beasts was vitality. Even forest kings as strong as Da Ming and Er Ming couldn’t compare to the Blue Silver Emperor in vitality. This was also how Ah Yin could leave behind a seed after sacrificing herself, while Xiao Wu, Da Ming and Er Ming had
immediately faced death.

  Tang San using his own blood to draw out his mother’s roots here back then and an important effect on Ah Yin’s rebirth. Just because he had taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, his blood had brought Ah Yin the greatest benefits by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and she could absorb the spiritual influence of heaven and earth released by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without worrying. Even without Tang San’s present help, she could have returned to her previous condition within a hundred years. Now with Tang San drawing in all the blue silver grass energy in the Sunset Forest enormously accelerated her recovery.

  In fact, what Tang San did now was equivalent to Tang San pouring the cultivation of all the blue silver grass in the Sunset Forest into his mother’s body. And he didn’t want to kill the chicken for the eggs either. His Blue Silver Domain cooperated with the Seagod’s Light, enormously increasing the cultivation of each blue silver grass in the forest. And what Tang San absorbed from them was just a portion of their cultivation.

  The cultivation of a single blue silver grass of course didn’t count as anything, but the cultivation of ten million blue silver grass added together was vast.

  Ah Yin grew with a speed distinguishable to the naked eye. Soon, the enormous leaves had grown to encompass every part of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well basin. Tang San also constantly released strand after strand of Blue Silver Emperor to connect with it.

  Tang Hao and Xiao Wu watched nervously from the side. They could both sense Ah Yin’s energy swiftly rising, and Tang Hao now also understood why his son could say with certainty that, even if he didn’t succeed in resurrecting Ah Yin, all this would definitely only be beneficial to his mother. He drew this kind of blue silver grass energy into her body, increasing her cultivation, even if Ah Yin couldn’t recover her human form, the recovery time would still be enormously curtailed.

  Tang San’s Seagod’s Light held up for a full two hours. After the strength flagged and the blue light vanished, Tang San fell from the sky, sitting crosslegged next to his mother, directly entering cultivation. His mental strength was almost completely exhausted, but not yet overdrawn.

  Ah Yin had undergone enormous changes in these two hours. The Blue Silver Emperor main stem had grown by several dozen times, and each leaf spread through the valley. Along with Tang San entering cultivation, her aura also grew silent. Even though the energy she received didn’t require any melding to become hers, she still had to adjust to her new state.

  In just a couple of hours, Ah Yin’s cultivation had increased by more than twenty thousand years. The blue silver grass made up for quality with quantity, and Tang San’s unprecedented hub like transmission, relying on the Blue Silver Domain’s ultimate ability with the with the Seagod’s divine power to condense the golden light, it had completely reached the effect Tang San wanted.

  Tang San used a full two days to recover his mental strength. Over the next ten days, he repeatedly used the same method four times to condense Blue Silver Emperor energy for his mother. With the help of the Seagod’s Light, the blue silver grass in the Sunset Forest offered up inexhaustible energy. Until the Blue Silver Emperor energy Ah Yin had was completely equal to Tang San’s level, and couldn’t be transmitted any longer.

  After finishing the last energy transmission, Tang San once again entered cultivation. Right now Ah Yin had already undergone heaven and earth revolving changes. The enormous leaves no longer spread out, but were instead completely gathered together, each leaf not only possessing enormous Blue Silver Emperor energy, but also a portion of the aura of the Seagod’s Light. The leaves had now turned completely golden, forming a ten meter wide cocoon. Piercing golden light flared, Ah Yin’s body containing enormous energy fluctuations.

  Having experienced similar circumstances, Xiao Wu told Tang Hao that these were signs of a spirit beast reaching a hundred thousand years. When Ah Yin broke out of her cocoon, she would again have returned to the hundred thousand year level. At the same time, while in this cocoon formed from her own body and energy, she also had the chance to make a choice. Either become human, or stay as a formidable hundred thousand year spirit beast. There was no doubt as to how Ah Yin would choose. She had already experienced cultivating as a human, and even Xiao Wu couldn’t tell what she would be like after breaking out. After all, it was the first time she had seen anyone like Ah Yin, who had twice cultivated to hundred thousand years.

  Tang San awakened from cultivation after two days. In these dozen days, he had constantly used up and restored his mental strength, and it felt as if his mental strength had become even a bit more solid.

  The golden cocoon still flashed with faint light, nobody knew how long this evolution would take. Tang Hao sat waiting in front of the cocoon, his eyes from time to time glistening with anxiety. Even though he’d already waited for so long, and by all reason his wife should have a chance to very soon recover to her former state, the more this was the case, the more intense his impatience grew. Watching that golden cocoon, he couldn’t wait to see his beloved wife again.

  As soon as Tang San opened his yes, he saw Xiao Wu sitting close by. Her big black eyes blinked and looked at him, her long eyelashes curling, her long hair falling down her shoulders to the ground, like a black waterfall.

  “Xiao Wu.”

  If his parents hadn’t been here, Tang San would have wanted to directly show his affection.

  Xiao Wu happily said:

  “Ge, you’re awake.”

  It had been almost a month since they came here. In the gaps between where Tang San helped his mother recover, he and Xiao Wu had buried Da Ming and Er Ming’s bodies on the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even though she knew it was impossible, Xiao Wu secretly still hoped the spiritual influence here could give the two forest kings a slim chance for resurrection.

  After talking to Tang San and his parents, Xiao Wu’s mood was already much better. Even though the pain in her heart still remained, she didn’t want Tang San to see her unhappy.

  Xiao Wu cutely jumped into Tang San’s arms, her long black hair hiding the two like a veil. Xiao Wu softly said:

  “Ge, do you know when mom can wake up?”

  Tang San shook his head:

  “Even you don’t know, and I know even less. But since there’s enough energy and mom has already experienced breaking through a hundred thousand years, it shouldn’t be too long.”

  Xiao Wu said:

  “Ge, let’s go for a walk, ok? There’s a lot of spirit beasts in this Sunset Forest, maybe we can find some that suits you. Your Blue Silver Emperor really is bald and ugly with four spirit rings left.”

  Tang San’s heart twitched:

  “Xiao Wu, I still haven’t asked you. What level is your spirit power now? Even though your body and soul were separated these past years, you did still take two great immortal grade herbs. Especially that Yearning Heartbroken Red was enormously effective. Even if your cultivation isn’t more than mine, relying on this immortal herb your physical toughness isn’t less than mine.”

  Xiao Wu smiled slightly:

  “I don’t know what rank my spirit power is either, I’m at a bottleneck right now, the seventieth rank bottleneck. When I went from hundred thousand year spirit beast cultivation to human, the first six spirit rings didn’t require hunting spirit beasts, but by the seventieth rank I really am human. And with the effect of those two immortal grade herbs, I’ve become human a bit early. Now I also need to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings. I feel like my spirit power shouldn’t stop at rank seventy, but I can’t tell how much more either.”

  Tang San pulled Xiao Wu up, skilfully pulling out a sandalwood comb from his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, speaking to her while combing her jet black hair:

  “Then we’ll go strolling in the Sunset Forest. With your current physical condition, absorbing a hundred thousand year spirit ring might be a bit dangerous, and finding one isn’t to likely either. But, fifty or sixty
thousand year spirit beasts’ spirit rings shouldn’t be a problem. Once you have a spirit avatar, your defensive abilities will be even stronger. Unfortunately, I don’t have any god bestowed spirit rings on hand.”

  Xiao Wu said:

  “Since my soul and body were separated I only have one trial, and all the rewards are superimposed. I can get them once you’ve completed the Seagod Nine Trials. Right now you still lack more than ten spirit rings and a spirit bone for the eighth trial. Mom is just evolving, let’s go search here. If there are any suitable spirit rings, we can finish the eighth trial sooner.”

  Tang San rubbed Xiao Wu’s head. He of course knew that Xiao Wu was saying this because he had lost five spirit rings to resurrect her. As a former spirit beast she least liked seeing spirit masters hunt spirit beasts.

  While combing Xiao Wu’s hair, Tang San said to her:

  “Xiao Wu, I promise you that all the spirit beasts I kill will be those especially wicked ones, the kind that take the initiative to attack me, and I absolutely won’t kill more than needed, ok?”

  Xiao Wu nodded slightly. Her back was to Tang San, but the rims of her eyes were already red. Da Ming and Er Ming were dead. In this world Tang San was her only family. Tang San’s thoughts for her, his love for her, imperceptibly dissolved the grief in her heart.

  After a while, a neat scorpion braid was already completed. Even tied up in a braid, Xiao Wu’s hair almost reached the ground.

  Xiao Wu’s eyes were no longer red. Turning around she smiled sweetly at Tang San,

  “Let’s tell dad and go.”

  Tang San nodded. Leading along Xiao Wu’s soft little hand they went up to Tang Hao. Tang Hao’s gaze was always fixed on the giant golden cocoon,

  “I heard you talking. Go, pay attention to your safety.”

  Tang San promised, and pulled out the nearby Seagod Trident. Saying goodbye to his father, they flew up and over the mountaintop, arriving in the Sunset Forest.
