  Ah Yin suddenly startled discovered that she was actually growing wildly when illuminated by this golden light. The connection of their souls let her deeply feel how powerful her son was right now. The blue silver emperor aura they shared had become the best channel connecting her to the Seagod’s Light, and that enormous divine presence flowed into her without reservations, making her cultivation frantically climb several times faster.

  Tang San twitched violently, and immediately, his nine spirit rings flew up at the same time, drifting in the air above him. The pain of instantly losing his spirit rings made Tang San spit up a mouthful of blood, but his gaze was even more fervent.

  Tang San naturally hadn’t forgotten what Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi said. Nobody could tell just how many spirit rings were needed to resurrect Xiao Wu. Tang San wouldn’t allow for any flaws or variables to exist, therefore, he completely shook off all the nine spirit rings of his Blue Silver Emperor. The pain of that instant made even his incomparably durable body produce a dense cloud of blood.

  Enormous spirit power followed as Xiao Wu’s spirit bone in his hand entered the air, fusing together with Tang San’s sixth spirit ring. Red light blossomed in the air, and that sixth spirit ring separated from his spirit ring lineup under the control of Tang San’s boundless mental strength, glittering red light spread scattered everywhere, then slowly started to condense under the shine of the divine light the Seagod Trident released.

  A red silhouette gradually formed, Xiao Wu’s transparent red body appearing in the air. She couldn’t speak, or even open her mouth, but this was her soul, and that soul’s aura was filled with sadness and worry, her crystalline eyes watching Tang San as if telling him something.

  Tang San didn’t pull back, resolutely looking that figure in the eyes, pausing with each syllable, he almost howled:

  “Re——sur——rect——! My—— be——lov——ed——!”

  The shroud of Seagod’s Light covering the sky and earth suddenly condensed, becoming an immense golden pillar of light, completely enveloping Xiao Wu’s soul and body. Immediately, motioned by Tang San, his first four spirit rings flew out simultaneously, circling around Xiao Wu’s soul, protecting her, floating towards the body illuminated in golden light.

  Vast mental strength erupted like a flash flood and poured into the Seagod Trident, changing into purest Seagod’s power and scattering. Within that golden light, Xiao Wu’s soul figure gave Tang San a last loving gaze, then, that red silhouette completely merged with her body.

  Yellow, yellow, purple, black, four spirit rings in sequence, one by one slowly blended into Xiao Wu’s body. With each spirit ring, Xiao Wu’s body would flash with a ray of red light.

  The Seagod’s Light grew even more intense, a soul attached to a body and a soul merged with a body were two completely different concepts.

  Whether Xiao Wu’s body reconstructed with the Yearning Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng could completely fuse with her soul, whether the outside spirit rings could support a complete recovery, those were the important parts of the resurrection. Tang San released his mental strength without regard for the consequences. His seventh spirit ring was also moved over, floating just above Xiao Wu. If he discovered her body could continue absorbing spirit ring energy, Tang San absolutely wouldn’t hesitate.

  His fifth spirit ring was considered the evolution of the Blue Silver Emperor, it didn’t suit Xiao Wu, but this seventh spirit ring was his god bestowed spirit ring, its attributes absolutely wouldn’t clash with Xiao Wu.

  Layer after layer of intense red light wrapped up Xiao Wu like a cocoon, Tang San’s mental strength densely covered every corner of this space, meticulously sensing the changes in Xiao Wu’s soul and body.

  The merging process was very slow, but it constantly progressed. Without experiencing it firsthand, one couldn’t understand just how difficult it was. This time, Tang San was profoundly aware that if he had finally helped Xiao Wu’s soul and physical body merge using the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent neidan from back then, the failure rate would have been at least fifty percent.

  But the Seagod’s Light was undoubtedly the purest divine power. Under its light, all rejections were completely dispelled, and even if the merging process was slow, it proceeded without any problems.

  Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi was right, after Xiao Wu absorbed her own spirit ring and spirit bone, plus Tang San’s four spirit rings as well, her body was already completely full. Her body originally held a monumental energy from the two great immortal herbs she had eaten, plus the saved up rewards from the Seagod Island. Now with such immense energy and soul power from the outside, if any more was transmitted, it would absolutely be dangerous.

  After discovering this, Tang San relieved drew back his fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth spirit rings from the air. Even though they were only four, these four were all hundred thousand year level spirit rings! If you only looked on the surface, then now he was a Spirit Ancestor with all hundred thousand year spirit rings. Only, this was also certainly the most powerful spirit ancestor in the history of the Douluo Continent.

  After his strength rose to the Title Douluo level, and the originally five spirit bones turned to six, Tang San discovered that it was a lot easier to borrow the Seagod Trident’s divine power than when he fought Bibi Dong. If he had spent all his mental strength without regard for the consequences then like he was doing now, he might have been unable to endure it. But now he was doing it skilfully and easily.

  It wasn’t that his mental strength had grown a lot. Even though it had become stronger, his mental strength progress was definitely much less than his spirit power. After all, his mental strength had risen to the peak Douluo level as soon as his Purple Demon Eye advanced to the Boundless realm. In order to substantially advance it further he would have to inherit divinity. But now the divine force he could borrow from the Seagod Trident was a ratio of how much mental strength he could infuse it with and transform into divine power.

  If he previously input ten units of mental strength and only received one unit of Seagod divine power before, then, now ten units of mental strength changed into fully three units of Seagod divine power. It was under such circumstances that Tang San comprehensively supported Xiao Wu’s soul and body merging without feeling particularly strained. At least, right now when his mind was extremely stimulated, he didn’t feel like it was anything. Even if he did, he directly ignored it.

  After an unknown amount of time, along with a buzzing sound, the red light Xiao Wu’s body had released was absorbed like rivers running into the sea. Only that red dot on her forehead representing the Seagod Island’s first grade test flickered. Her soul and body had finally completed the entire merging process.

  If this alone couldn’t make Tang San feel relieved, then, the next prompt echoing in his mind made his excitement rise to a peak.

  “Seagod’s eighth trial, resurrecting partner, mission complete. Eight trial fifty percent complete. It is required to keep raising strength, absorbing spirit rings, spirit bones, to complete the trial.”

  Tang San firmly believed that gods wouldn’t lie. Yes, Xiao Wu was resurrected, Xiao Wu was finally resurrected under his untiring efforts.

  With a thump, the Seagod Trident Tang San held fell to the ground. At this moment, he felt violent pain in every part of his body, felt his mind as weak as if his brain had been scooped out. But, did that matter? No, not at all. If Xiao Wu was resurrected, then what was this pain?

  The golden divine light slowly disappeared, and Tang San also collapsed as it vanished, falling next to Xiao Wu. Even so, the instant before he lost consciousness, he still didn’t forget to tightly grip Xiao Wu’s warm little hand.

  In order to perfectly resurrect Xiao Wu, Tang San had released his mental strength without minding overdrawing, adding in his deep nervousness, and even more importantly the serious injuries he had suffered from giving up the spirit rings, even he fell unconscious.

  Originally h
e didn’t have to bear such great pain, but to strip off one's own spirit rings, it was necessary to be a person with great strength, if he didn’t have the Seagod’s Light as support, Tang San not only couldn’t have regained his stripped spirit rings through hunting, even the Blue Silver Emperor spirit would be crippled. Even with the Seagod’s Light, in order to perfectly resurrect Xiao Wu he had stripped all his nine spirit rings in one go, and the pain from this was as fearsome as being flayed and having his tendons torn out.

  But at that time Tang San hadn’t even looked distracted, really because his mind was too focused. Those nine spirit rings were naturally enormously powerful, especially the five hundred thousand year spirit rings. But, the stronger the spirit ring, the greater the influence from stripping it. One might say that this forceful removal had already injured his vitality, and even regaining four hundred thousand year spirit rings afterwards couldn’t avert it.

  This was also when his body had passed one strengthening by the Seagod’s Light, plus the foundation of his six great spirit bones to protect him. Otherwise, stripping his spirit rings like this would have directly harmed his foundation, and he would never have recovered.

  After an unknown amount of time, when Tang San awoke from unconsciousness, it was already dark all around. Violent pain came from all his bones and muscles. That kind of convulsive pain was basically unbearable, and Tang San couldn’t help giving a low moan.

  “Ah, little San is awake.”

  His mothers voice echoed by his hears.

  When Tang San wanted to open his eyes, he discovered his eyelids were too heavy. But he still managed to call out:

  “Xiao Wu, how is Xiao Wu?”

  Before he had finished speaking, Tang San’s senses had already recovered somewhat, and he discovered his body was surrounded by warmth, as if he lay in a soft embrace.

  “Ge, I’m here, don’t move.”

  A voice like heavenly music echoed in Tang San’s ears. Even though his physical condition was extremely bad right now, that voice was like a powerful stimulant, prompting Tang San to directly open his eyes.

  The moon was bright but stars sparse, and the surrounding light was extremely dim, but Tang San still saw, right next to him, a face so delicate it might break from a puff of wind.

  She seemed even more beautiful than before. In the moonlight, her skin glistened with the luster of white jade, her long scorpion braid hung down her side, and a pair of wet dark eyes watched him anxiously. Within those eyes was no longer vacancy or blankness, but only endlessly deep emotions.

  “Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu…...”

  Tears flowed fiercely from Tang San’s eyes, even he himself had forgotten how long it had been. Ever since Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for him, he had never been truly happy. Seeing the real, living Xiao Wu in front of him, Tang San’s throat closed as if choking on something. He had a thousand things he wanted to say, but right now he couldn’t finish one sentence.

  “Ge, you’re so stupid. Da Ming and Er Ming, they……”

  Big tears tumbled from Xiao Wu’s eyes. Previously Tang San was always unconscious, and after she woke up she was always looking after him without minding anything else. Now Tang San was awake, and she couldn’t hold back the tears of grief. In order to resurrect her, the two most important partners in her life had sacrificed themselves, and her beloved had also grievously injured himself.

  “Xiao Wu, don’t cry. Da Ming and Er ming wouldn’t want to see you grieve over them so. Once I’ve become the Seagod, I’ll definitely summon their souls to see you again.”

  Having spoken thus, Tang San’s excitement over finally having resurrected Xiao Wu became too much for his body. He went limp, unconscious again. Only, this time he was satisfied. Xiao Wu was finally resurrected, his greatest desire was already achieved.

  Tang Hao’s distinctive deep voice rang out,

  “Little San is right. The departed are already gone, the living are still alive. He’s stronger than me, he’s resurrected you in just a few years. Child, treasure the people before you. Don’t be sad and grieving. The past has already passed, you both should face a new life.”

  Xiao Wu raised her head to look at Tang Hao with eyes hazy with tears, and nodded softly,

  “Thank you, uncle.”

  Tang Ha smiled slightly:

  “When you came here with him last time, that’s not what you called me.”

  Xiao Wu blushed, she hadn’t expected someone as dignified as Tang Hao to tease her, and the pain in her heart immediately eased a bit. She stammered:

  “Dad.”

  Tang Hao rubbed Xiao Wu’s head. Looking at his son in her arms, he said:

  “Little San’s vitality is seriously harmed. But his body is strong, he will improve with rest.”

  Xiao Wu silently hung her head, softly caressing Tang San’s face,

  “Dad, I will look after him well.”

  When Tang San woke up again, it was already the next day. In one day’s time, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone’s Wildfire Burns Without End, The Spring Wind Blows New Life ability had already more than half restored him. Even though he still felt pain all over, and his brain was still dizzy, Tang San was already in much better spirits.

  His senses restored, Tang San immediately felt his whole body relax. He discovered he was still in Xiao Wu’s arms, but his clothes had been changed, without any of the blood from Xiao Wu’s resurrection left. Xiao Wu’s head hung, asleep.

  Tang San didn’t move, afraid of waking her up. Clearly, Xiao Wu had looked after him the whole time, and was already completely exhausted.

  Slowly drawing a deep breath, Tang San roused his mind and sensed the changes in his body. Only if his body recovered would Xiao Wu be relieved.

  As his mind gradually grew clearer, Tang San discovered that his meridians and bones hadn’t changed noticeably, but his spirit power had suffered a certain fluctuation and was in chaos inside him. What had suffered the most was instead his mental strength. His mind was in complete disorder. Spirit ring abilities were controlled with mental strength, and could be said to be directly linked with the mind. Forcefully stripping away fice spirit rings was naturally grievously harmful to Tang San’s mental strength.

  Only, fortunately he still had that Seagod’s trident brand. Even though his mental strength was a mess, it still hovered around his evolved mind condensing wisdom skull bone, as if attracted by the Seagod’s Light. Even though his mind seemed to have fragmented, it didn’t leave his control.

  Closing his eyes and operating the Purple Demon Eye cultivation technique, Tang San began to mend his mental world. That his body had only suffered this much from resurrecting Xiao Wu was already a pleasant surprise to Tang San. At the same time, he couldn’t help being filled with gratitude for the Seagod’s power. If not for the Seagod’s Light, it would absolutely have been impossible to resurrect Xiao Wu this smoothly, and also impossible to only temporarily give up spirit rings.

  He might not be the only candidate for becoming a god, but there might not be anyone else that dared strip away their spirit rings like him. Before he had absorbed spirit rings again, Tang San didn’t dare be sure whether he could recover the Blue Silver Emperor’s various abilities. But without a doubt, his spirit power hadn’t weakened, it was still at the ninety first rank. It was just relatively weak and needed time to recover. Moreover, even if the Blue Silver Emperor couldn’t recover, it didn’t matter. Each of the remaining four hundred thousand year spirit rings had two abilities, just these were stronger than ordinary Title Douluo. Besides, the Blue Silver Emperor’s damage wouldn’t influence him absorbing spirit rings into his Clear Sky Hammer. Undoubtedly a manifestation of the advantage of twin spirits.

  His condition examined, and Xiao Wu also being resurrected, Tang San calmed down and began to restore his mental strength. Through the little bit of mental strength he could control, he cautiously roused the Seagod’s Light, and then with the Purple Demon Eye cultivation technique through the Seagod�
�s Light, gathered and slowly fused the fragments of his mental strength.

  When he first got the Seagod’s Light he felt this ability was chicken ribs, as if the most it could do was scare those sea spirit beasts and sea spirit masters. But as time passed, Tang San discovered more and more of its marvelous uses. In some sense it was even more important than the Seagod Trident. After all, with his current capabilities, the Seagod Trident also needed the Seagod’s Light to produce its true power.

  Tang San used a full three days to completely restore his mental strength, and his body had also recovered on its own accord over the same time, returning to its original condition. Besides missing a few spirit rings and abilities, nothing much had changed. And from a wider perspective, his abilities really hadn’t decreased. Xiao Wu’s spirit bone had been replaced by two even stronger spirit bones, and five spirit rings had been traded for two hundred thousand year spirit rings. Overall, his abilities were even stronger than before.

  Faint golden light filled his whole body. Right now Tang San was already sitting cross legged by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, looking as if he was cast in gold, glinting like jewelry.

  Tang Hao sat nearby watching his son. Xiao Wu sat next to Tang Hao, her beautiful eyes filled with deep concern. Tang San’s mother Ah Yin’s blue silver emperor body, ever since it was subjected to the Seagod’s Light illumination that day, had grown another third in a short few days.

  Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor was inherited from his mother, their blood interlinked. To an ordinary spirit master that Seagod’s Light would only feel bright and warm. If it was evil spirits, they would suffer a powerful attack. But to the constantly growing Ah Yin, it was a like a plant in sunlight. Adding in the connection between Tang San and her, she had obtained the greatest benefits from the Seagod’s Light. Originally the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well treasure ground had been speeding up her cultivation, and after being illuminated by this divine light, Ah Yin’s cultivation had already formally entered the ten thousand year level. To recover to this stage within a few years, reaching the Blue Silver King level, was close to inconcievable.
