Chapter 152 Tang Ya's Adventures
"Like that person, it carries the aura of a god." The petals of the eight-cornered ice grass unfolded contentedly.
Dejected, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin retrieved the book containing the medicine and poison chapters from the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Bao Lu (a treasure book for the Xuan Tian Sect) back into her protective possession. Since Kong Tianxu already possessed the power of divine inheritance, he probably wouldn't care about the meager sums recorded in this book.
Following closely behind, the Snow Emperor's figure danced, and an astonishing chill burst forth from mid-air. A layer of extremely thick solid ice rapidly spread, completely sealing off the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, blocking out all sunlight.
With the extreme cold of this layer of ice, which is more than 200 degrees below zero, coupled with the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the cover of the Azure Phosphorus Poison Cloud, for at least ten years, no one will be able to enter this place except for Kong Tianxu bringing the Snow Emperor to unseal it personally, or someone willing to risk destroying the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Let's go." Kong Tianxu took one last look at this fairyland shrouded in ice mirror.
Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin's thinking wasn't wrong. He really looked down on these so-called Tang Clan secret techniques. Even the strongest hidden weapon technique, Guanyin Tears, couldn't defeat Di Tian. What's the use of learning it?
As for the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Given the preciousness of this place, he naturally wouldn't give the Tang Clan or Shrek Academy any chance to lay a finger on it.
The next time he comes, it will be the time for him to make full use of this treasure trove.
Damn!
-
Tang San's fingers slammed heavily on the round table, creating a strange spectacle of drifting clouds and mist.
"Tang San, did you call us here just to see you spacing out?"
To Tang San's right, both the God of Destruction and the God of Life were clearly showing signs of dissatisfaction, and even the black-robed man and white-robed woman opposite them looked puzzled.
The Divine Judgment Committee, where the five gods gather.
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Although his attempt to interfere with Kong Tianxu's choice of godhood through the Tang Sect's inheritance had failed, it wasn't part of his plan anyway, so it didn't affect him too much.
Solving the problems currently facing the divine realm is the most important thing.
He composed himself, his tone seemingly gentle but leaving no room for negotiation, and said, "God of Destruction, as the current ruler of the divine realm, I regret to announce that your divine succession will likely not be approved by the Trial Committee for the time being."
Ok?
Before the God of Destruction could even react, the God of Life couldn't help but press the issue: "God of Asura, please give me a reason. Whether it's the selection of the successor or the procedure for the divine succession, Destruction hasn't violated any rules, has he? Why can't it pass?"
Tang San sighed regretfully, though upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat affected. Then, he solemnly said, "Because in the near future, the God Realm will likely face a great calamity."
"Explain clearly, what great calamity is this, and what does it have to do with my inherited divine position?" The God of Destruction appeared much calmer this time, and asked in a slow and unhurried manner.
Tang San said in a deep voice, "I don't know either. I just clearly sensed the existence of that threat through my control of the God Realm. Faced with this calamity that could very well destroy the God Realm, God of Destruction, as the enforcer and elder of the God Realm, shouldn't you preserve your divine position and strength, instead of choosing to stay out of it?"
this----
Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
The Asura God's words seemed to be true, but without any evidence, how could anyone believe them? Especially since they were directed at the God of Destruction, with whom he had always had some disagreements, and his words also carried a considerable amount of moral blackmail.
This meeting might escalate the conflict and trigger a further split between the two giants of the divine realm, but they can't stop anything from happening.
They are relatively inexperienced. Although they inherited the divine positions of the two strongest god-kings in the divine realm, they did not fully inherit the power. Their strength is at the bottom among the five enforcers, so they are naturally insignificant and can only do some mediating work.
As expected, after Tang San said this, both the God of Destruction and the God of Life fell silent, but their dissatisfaction became increasingly clear.
Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Tang San chuckled. He really didn't want to break with the God of Destruction before that great calamity arrived, so his tone immediately softened a lot: "Of course, the new forces in the lower realm are also worth noting. If there are really outstanding talents, we can settle for letting them take on some first-level god positions first. If there are no suitable ones with the God of Destruction, I can completely give up my Sea God position."
After going around in circles, he finally revealed his true colors. The God of Destruction sneered, his robes fluttering even without wind.
"I will decide who my successor will be. If he is qualified, I will never hinder his path to godhood. As for the great calamity of the divine realm you mentioned," it gripped the hand of the God of Life, its eyes gleaming with unparalleled purple light.
"If it's true, I will naturally do what I should do."
Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Spirit City.
Tianling City is a large city in the central part of the Tianhun Empire with a long history. It is not too far from Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire. Therefore, compared with its size, the prosperity of the central street is a more prominent feature.
However, for the same reason, the population of Tianling City is disproportionate to its size. Beneath the prosperity of the city center lies an undeniable desolation and bewilderment.
Just like Tang Ya's state of mind at this moment.
The girl wrapped her white robe tighter around herself and pointed to the grilled fish on the stall in front of her.
"Excuse me, sir, how much is this grilled fish?"
"The large ones cost three copper soul coins, and the small ones cost two copper soul coins. They're all freshly caught green leaf fish from the Heavenly Spirit River. Would you like one, Miss?"
The barbecue stall owner was a sturdy middle-aged man who was flipping the grilled fish in his hand and spreading sauce on it while greeting customers warmly.
Tang Ya's voice was clear and melodious, and coupled with her youthful curves that could not be concealed even by her wide white robe, it was not difficult to discern her gender.
"Oh. Then give me a big one!" Tang Ya said readily, then rummaged through her pockets.
Wow, that's cheap! I never knew grilled fish was this cheap outside. Did I overprice the grilled fish for Yuhao back then?
The girl's thoughts drifted as she searched for a long time, but she couldn't find even half a copper soul coin.
Oh no, I left in such a hurry that I didn't prepare anything in my storage soul tool.
Tang Ya was somewhat embarrassed to discover that she didn't have a single penny on her. The stall owner had already handed her the grilled fish, so she could only awkwardly say, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money."
"It's alright," said the middle-aged woman who was helping out, sprinkling some spices on the fish. She then gave the man, who was clearly her husband, a disdainful look. "The fish tail was burnt. We were planning to have it for dinner. It's free, take it."
Tang Ya was clearly taken aback, as if she remembered something. Finally, urged by the stall owners, she hesitantly accepted the grilled fish.
"Thank you," she replied in a low voice, taking a small bite.
The crispy fish skin is slightly salty, which enhances its natural umami flavor. When you bite into the fish skin, a rich broth mixed with tender fish meat slides into your mouth. The taste is in no way inferior to what Huo Yuhao makes.
"Delicious!" Tang Ya's large, bright phoenix eyes lit up immediately. "Auntie, I will definitely repay you in the future."
The middle-aged woman waved her hand and said, "Young lady, you look about the same age as my daughter. You must have encountered some difficulties while you were out there all by yourself. Consider this fish a gift for you. It's alright."
The stall owner smiled sheepishly and remained silent.
Tang Ya's body trembled, as if she was about to say something. Just then, a commotion suddenly arose on the street, and a group of soldiers in full armor, led by several men in tight-fitting clothes riding horses, ran quickly toward them.
These soldiers were all tall and strong, and they ran with an aggressive attitude, not avoiding pedestrians at all. Some pedestrians who could not dodge in time were immediately knocked aside by them.
Although the barbecue stall was located in a very remote area, and the stall owner was trying his best to pack up the equipment, the soldiers outnumbered him and he couldn't get away in time.
Just as they were about to collide, Tang Ya stretched out her arms, which were shrouded in white robes. The armored horse running at the front suddenly tripped over something and fell to the side. The originally neat formation immediately broke apart, the momentum of the charge stopped, and several soldiers were knocked to the side and stumbled a few steps.
The stall owners finally had time to quickly pack up their things and retreated back to the area of the street shops, still shaken. When they turned around, Tang Ya was nowhere to be seen.
On the street, in the gap between the blue bricks and the soil, a dark blue vine silently retreats back into the soil.
On the second floor of a restaurant directly opposite where Tang Ya had just been standing, a middle-aged man was sitting, and he was in a position that allowed him to see what was happening on the street.
Immediately, a glimmer of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Turning into a deserted alley, Tang Ya took small bites of the grilled fish in her hand. She had been the one to prepare it, and the dark blue vines clearly indicated that she had officially become a Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul Master.
However, despite her best efforts to conceal it, her hood still fell off her head as she used her martial spirit, revealing her somewhat pale face.
With a pert nose, an almost perfect oval face, and long black hair that was no longer styled in a ponytail but hung casually down her back, she wasn't absolutely stunningly beautiful, but she possessed a refined and elegant air and a melancholic beauty.
However, her once bright and lively eyes seemed to have changed color. A dark blue tinge appeared in her beautiful pupils, and there was some purple eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes. Two lines of clear tears streamed down her cheeks.
The words "father" and "mother" were somewhat distant to her, but when she suddenly thought of them now, combined with her current situation, she couldn't suppress her emotional fluctuations.
Initially, Tang Ya, unable to complete Shrek Academy's advancement assessment through normal means, resolutely dropped out and returned to Heaven Dou City to resume her work on the Tang Sect. However, upon returning, she discovered that things were not so simple. The sect's various affairs, coupled with the constant targeting by the Tang Sect's enemies, finally became unbearable for her. She chose to directly attack the Iron Blood Sect, the very sect that had destroyed the Tang Sect, even at the cost of revealing her abilities as a corrupted Dark Blue Silver Grass evil soul master.
Unfortunately, although her Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul showed considerable potential after becoming an Evil Soul Master, she was only at the fourth ring cultivation level and no match for Tie Li, the sixth-ring sect master of the Iron Blood Sect. Just when she thought she was doomed, she was rescued by an old man in black robes and taken to a place called the Holy Spirit Cult.
Here, the confused girl gradually learned, under the tutelage of a group of powerful evil spirit masters, how to control her power and prevent it from being corrupted by her martial spirit. Because of her good martial spirit talent, she was directly trained as an external disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult. Strangely, although most of her instructors were evil spirit masters, most of those who studied with her and aspired to become members of the Holy Spirit Cult were normal spirit masters. Their daily activities were also completely different from what she had imagined an evil spirit master group to be. Surrounded by them, she gradually made a few friends and began to slowly find acceptance of her life.
Although Tang Ya longed to forget everything she carried, to stop thinking about it, and to embrace the Holy Light as the Holy Spirit teaches, truly becoming a part of it, her desire to revive the Tang Clan and her parents' entrustment to her tormented her constantly. Ultimately, under the condemnation of her heart, she secretly slipped away during a mission and returned to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Perhaps, in the end, she still wanted to go home and visit.
"Sister Gu, and Sister Mengdi, I'm sorry, Xiaoya was still willful and let you down."
Tang Ya wiped away the tears on her face, and suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Got you?"
Tang Ya instinctively turned her head, and the thick, python-like Blue Silver Grass had already stretched out from her sleeve. But upon hearing the other person's voice, all her attacks ceased.
Yu Mengdi pulled back her hood, revealing a pretty face as cold as ice. Behind her, one of the white-robed figures tilted her head back, instantly transforming into an angry Nan Qiuqiu: "Hey Tang Ya, I also risked my life to come out with Sister Mengdi and the others to find you, okay? How come I was the only one left behind!"
Only the white-robed figure standing at the back remained silent, only looking gently at Tang Ya. Beneath the half-hidden hood, her beautiful face clearly surpassed that of Yu Mengdi and Nan Qiuqiu.
"Sister Mengdi, Sister Gu Yi, and Qiu Qiu, you're all here—" Tang Ya couldn't hold back her tears any longer. After joining the Holy Spirit Cult, Yu Mengdi and Yan Gu Yi were the ones who helped her the most. Although they hadn't spent much time together, they had developed a deep bond through eating and living together.
Now, at her most vulnerable moment, not only did the two of them rush to find her, but even Nan Qiuqiu, who joined them midway, came. Feeling so much care, she suddenly found it hard to contain herself.
Yu Mengdi patted Tang Ya's back tenderly, but still said sternly, "Xiao Ya, do you know how worried we were when you left without saying goodbye? If it weren't for the Holy Church's special tracking method, we would have thought something had happened to you."
