Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1014 - 1012 Everything Goes Smoothly

It was the familiar little tavern he walked into, silently taking a seat at the innermost spot, quietly awaiting.

Today, there were no customers in the tavern; perhaps they had all gone to pay attention to the Battle for the Throne. The server brought Tang San a cup of barley beer, said nothing more, and then withdrew on his own.

Not long after, a ghostly figure gradually materialized opposite Tang San’s table, like a mist suddenly arising, transforming into something akin to life itself.

"How’s it going?" Tang San asked calmly.

"Everything is progressing smoothly. We have started the initial segmentation. However, the progress won’t be too fast, as we must be very careful. Are you really confident you can conceal your presence from his divine consciousness? Otherwise, all our efforts will be futile."

Tang San nodded slightly, saying, "I have already paid you so much money, why would I do that if it was all for naught? Just follow my plan. There’s no need to hurry; there’s still plenty of time before the Battle for the Throne, enough for you to prepare. Concealment is the top priority. When the time comes, I will tell you when to take action."

"Good. As long as you’re sure. The money won’t be returned."

"Mhm, no need for refunds. Just make sure you complete the task as agreed." After saying this, the light around Tang San’s body slightly distorted, and the next moment, he simply disappeared into thin air right in front of the cloaked figure across from him.

The cloaked figure opposite him became noticeably stiff, not moving for a good while. Eventually, it exhaled slowly. Its form dissipated into an illusion and vanished.

In the White Tiger Grand Hotel, the twisted halo of light remained, a remnant of the Time-Space Tower, while Tang San had already appeared out of thin air, taking shape amidst the twisted beams of light, once again reverting to Jin Miaolin’s appearance.

During the brief period just then, even if divine consciousness had swept over, it would have detected him cultivating in the room.

Next, he would face the third match of the elimination round. Having passed the first two matches through the Sword Saint Sculpture, what about the third one?

Tang San’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly stood up.

Leaving the White Tiger Grand Hotel on his own, without calling for the other Elders, Tang San quickened his pace in a certain direction.

After walking for half an hour, he finally reached his destination. Gazing at the towering Holy Mountain before him, he stopped, sat down with legs crossed at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly, a rich Life Aura burst forth. Instantly, the vegetation around him, as if souls had been injected into them, gently swayed and swiftly grew, infusing the surrounding kilometer-radius area with vibrant life.

The guards at the foot of the Holy Mountain, who approached upon first noticing someone sitting there, were immediately captivated by the overwhelming Life Force emanating from Tang San, indulging in the life force and unable to stop themselves, unable to come forward to halt him.

The Life-Giving Domain was so miraculous. Perhaps not even the Blue Golden Tree Clan could truly utilize it, but in the hands of Tang San, it could be varied in infinite ways.

Tang San just sat there quietly, engaged in meditation, time passing swiftly. After an unknown duration, a gentle voice echoed in his divine consciousness, "Have you come seeking me?"

Thereupon Tang San opened his eyes, soared to his feet, and bowed in the direction of the Holy Mountain, "Your Majesty."

"Come." A golden-red light, blazing like the grand sun, descended from the sky and shone upon Tang San, instantly making his vitality more exuberant. Tang San didn’t resist; he allowed the golden-red light to lead his body, and in a moment, he was gone. Yet even after he left, the rich Life Aura in the area remained intensely palpable.

The next instant, Tang San found himself in front of a massive palace, where a refined looking man stood, none other than the Tianyang Spirit King. The Holy Mountain Tang San visited was naturally his Mount Tianyang.

Seeing him, Tang San hurriedly advanced and bowed respectfully.

The Tianyang Spirit King surveyed him a few times and said, "You certainly made many people take notice today. Although I guessed you would have some methods, I did not expect you to have taken Life Giving to this level, directly channeling its essence through an object. This degree surpasses my expectations. That’s why you were able to win today."

Tang San smiled and said, "Since I’ve participated, I must give it my all. The main reason is the incredibly powerful sword beam contained within the statue of Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor. Otherwise, I couldn’t have won."

The Tianyang Spirit King slightly furrowed his brows and nodded, saying, "I didn’t expect that he would progress so quickly over these years. Now, he is no longer at the bottom in the Tianyu Empire. Being able to leave such strong sword beam within an ordinary statue, his cultivation base must have reached a brand new level. This is a true self-enlightenment."

Tang San smiled and said, "Still, that’s far inferior compared to you."

The Tianyang Spirit King glanced at him and said, "Alright, no more nonsense. What are you looking for me for? Is it concerning the upcoming competition?"

Tang San nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, I want to win. Since I’ve participated, I would like to take part in the competition."

The Tianyang Spirit King looked at Tang San with surprise, who seemed very candid in front of him, "Do you have ideas about claiming the throne?"

Tang San countered, "Your Majesty, don’t you think that if I occupy a position, it will be more beneficial for us? And furthermore, the Tianyu Empire will not oppose too much, right? Then I can legitimately stay within the Ancestral Court, and in the future, become the life core of the Ancestral Court. This would be advantageous for all Your Majesties, and since I am your man, naturally, I will follow your arrangements."

The Tianyang Spirit King couldn’t help but laugh, "Since when did you become my man?"

Tang San smiled and said, "From the first time you met me, I considered myself to be your man."

The Tianyang Spirit King said, "So, you decided to stick to me now?"

Tang San said, "The main point is that I deem myself to be somewhat useful. And you, being the strongest in this era, how could I not cling to such thick thighs?"

The Tianyang Spirit King slightly raised his eyebrows, his gaze fixed on Tang San, scanning him from head to toe, while Tang San faced him with an open and composed expression, allowing him to observe.

"I can’t help you. You should know how important the battle for the throne is to the Ancestral Court, and even to the entire continent. It’s impossible for me to assist you in any underhanded dealings. That Heavenly Fox fellow inherently has insightful eyes, any act of cheating would be caught. Let alone you, even the Sunflower Spirit Clan, I can’t help them. You can only rely on your own strength."

Tang San gave a bitter smile and said, "Your Majesty, you underestimate me too much. How could I let you help me cheat? After all, I am now a Lord of a City, the head of a clan."

The Tianyang Spirit King said in surprise, "You just finished competing and you came here to stick to me, not to ask for my help in cheating?"

Tang San was at a loss for words, "No, of course not. I want you to protect me for a while, I’m preparing for the next match."

This time the Tianyang Spirit King became somewhat curious, "You want me to protect you? How so? Protect what exactly?"

Tang San whispered a few words to him.

The Tianyang Spirit King’s eyes immediately shone brightly, "How confident are you?"

Tang San said, "Originally, I had about sixty to seventy percent confidence. But if you protect me, allowing me to use my skills freely, I should have ninety percent confidence. Once successful, hehe. You know."

The Tianyang Spirit King’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was contemplating something.

"If you succeed, as long as your luck isn’t particularly bad, making it through the knockout rounds should be no issue. But still, to make it to the very end, it’s not enough."
