Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 971 - 969: Wherever You Are, I Will Be There

It wasn’t long before a response came from the other side. It was a few gentle knocks, signaling him to wait a moment. Pretty Girl obviously also needed to make preparations to facilitate their communication.

Tang San wasn’t kept waiting too long; within a few minutes, Pretty Girl’s voice came from the other end.

"Where are you?" There was an obviously affectionate tone in Pretty Girl’s soft voice.

Tang San smiled and said, "Wherever you are, there I’ll be!"

"You’re at the Grand Ancestral Auction House too?" Pretty Girl asked in surprise.

Tang San chuckled, "Why can’t I be here? It seems you’ve won an auction for something you really like."

"Mm-hmm, it’s a bit expensive, but it seems to have some connection with my Asura God’s Sword. I can feel the sword beam of the Asura God’s Sword is very compatible with it, even a bit restless. I’m not entirely sure of the details right now, but it feels like the Shadow Demon Sword in my sea of divine consciousness is being constantly assailed by the sword beam of the Asura God’s Sword."

Tang San said, "That’s why I’m contacting you. Don’t do anything right now. Control the sword beam of the Asura God’s Sword, and don’t let it invade the Shadow Demon Sword too aggressively. I’m afraid it could cause a major disturbance. After the auction is over, I’ll take you back to Jiali City to see how to deal with this divine tool. I’ve got some ideas, so don’t worry; it will definitely be a good thing."

"Okay. Where exactly are you? Can I see you? Never mind, let’s not meet. There are so many Emperors around here; it would be troublesome if we were discovered. Please be sure to take care of your own safety!" Pretty Girl said with concern.

Tang San smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Love you, babe."

"Mm-hmm. I’ll hang up then; I can’t have my clansmen wait outside too long. Contact me if there’s anything. And if there’s something you want to bid on, you can tell me. I’ve got money on this end." Pretty Girl said.

In his heart, Tang San thought, when you find out I am actually Jin Miaolin, don’t blame me for making you spend more money, after all, I really wanted to win the Shadow Demon Sword for you!

"No need, no need, I don’t need anything. Even if I do, I have ways to bid on it myself. Whatever you want, just spend the money," he replied.

"Okay," Pretty Girl agreed.

After ending the communication, Tang San’s mind relaxed, and he let Jin Miaosen lift the blockade. He released the Light Dragon Spear back into his hand and silently nourished it with his divine consciousness.

Before, in front of the Tianyang Spirit King, he had nourished the Light Dragon Spear with life force just for show. To truly make use of a powerful artifact, the main thing is to communicate with it using divine consciousness.

In fact, once the Light Dragon Spear was taken into his body, it was suppressed immediately. Still unyielding? Making trouble? In front of the projection of the Sea God’s Trident, could a mere artifact even cause a stir?

The Light Dragon Spear was already docile and submissive at this point, allowing Tang San’s divine consciousness to nurture it, continuously exuding an affectionate, even ingratiating, emotion.

<divinity tools’ spiritual essences are very strong, and for an entity at the rank of divinity like Tang San, the benefit to a common divine tool was immense, like a timely rain after a long drought. It had been a long time since the Light Dragon Spear had a master. Though still a very powerful divine tool, its spirit would still gradually decline without nurturing. Therefore, when choosing a master, it was particularly discerning; it had to be someone whose attributes were compatible and who possessed sufficient strength. Only then would there be enough energy to nurture it, and after merging with Tang San, it immediately became utterly obedient and honest, fearing that Tang San might reject it.

Feeling the feedback from the Light Dragon Spear, the pure power of light nurturing his body, Tang San showed a look of satisfaction. Given his current level of cultivation, there were few things that could benefit him. The power of light carried by the Light Dragon Spear complemented the Tree Ancestor’s original life force; it had a synergistic effect that seemed to elevate life itself—a fitting presence for a true Artifact-level existence. No wonder Xu Anyu was in so much pain.

The second day of the auction in the afternoon, compared to the first day, seemed a bit more boring. Nothing particularly good came up at the start. Although several divine tools appeared at the end, they were more or less irrelevant to Tang San, as they were items that could only be used by specific Races. Tang San made a few bids, all for resource-related lots. The auction of the second day ended in this manner.

Night had deepened. After the auction ended on the second day, the Grand Ancestral Auction House fell silent. The majority of the bidders had already quickly entered into meditation to recover from the day’s expenditure of energy.

Those who were able to participate in this auction were all powerhouses; they could go days without rest and be fine. However, in this confined space, fatigue was inevitable.

"Chief Jin, could we have a few words?" A divine consciousness transmitted this request into VIP Room No.8 at that moment.

Tang San opened his eyes; what had to come would eventually come. Even though the other party had seen the Four-Heaven King standing by his side, the craving for divine tools still drove this person to seek him out.

"Sure," responded Tang San with a single word, standing up and leaving the VIP room, without asking the Elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan to follow.

On the other side, Xu Anyu had also come out of the Tenth VIP Room. He was alone as well. They faced each other across the Ninth VIP Room, nodded to each other, and then walked together towards the corridor; only there could they properly meet.

Xu Anyu had changed into a new outfit, a relatively simple attire that made him look like an ordinary Human youth.

It had to be said, the aura of Light emanating from him was rich, and his appearance was so amiable that it easily won people over.

"Chief Jin," Xu Anyu greeted Tang San with a nod.

"Brother Xu has sought me out, surely for the sake of the Light Dragon Spear," Tang San went straight to the point.

Xu Anyu nodded and said, "Indeed. Chief Jin, from the name of this divine tool, you can probably understand how significant it is to my clan. It was forged from the body of my ancestor and represents a shameful chapter of history our clan can never erase. To be frank, in order to bring it to light once more, I have done many things within the Ancestral Court, and it was with great effort that I convinced the various Emperors to auction it. But unexpectedly, it slipped away. Let’s not beat around the bush, Chief Jin, name your price. As long as it is within my means, I am willing to pay. Furthermore, I can assure you that should the Blue Golden Tree Clan ever need assistance, our Light Dragon Clan will surely lend a hand."

Tang San’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Brother Xu, let me ask you a question. For you, is the importance of this Light Dragon Spear in its inherent significance, or is it because bringing it to the marital duel enhances your chances of winning?"

Without hesitation, Xu Anyu replied, "Naturally, the value of the divine tool itself is more significant. It is the body of my ancestor, a piece of history our clan must always remember. It should—and must—return to our clan."

His tone was very firm; although he didn’t explicitly say so, the implication was clear. If Tang San was willing to give up the Light Dragon Spear, then they would be friends; if not, then enemies! This was his stance even though he knew that the Tianyang Spirit King stood with the Blue Golden Tree Clan, which highlighted the importance of the Light Dragon Spear.
