169: Tang San rekindles the fire of hope

Chapter 169: Tang San Rekindles the Flame of Hope

The next morning, Qian Renxue followed Ye Wen’s instructions.

She took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and, according to Ye Wen’s plan, used the Heaven Dou Empire’s desire to cultivate Tang San as a reason to give the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to him, guiding him towards Sea God Island, where a great opportunity awaited.

This opportunity could allow Tang San’s strength and Soul Power to increase dramatically in just a few years, making him incredibly powerful!

He might even have a chance to inherit a God Position!

Since Tang San possessed twin spirits and strong talent, it was plausible for the Empire to want to fully recruit and cultivate him, so Tang San didn’t suspect much.

Upon hearing about Sea God Island and the chance to become a God, Tang San’s decadent and fallen demeanor instantly brightened!

He returned home, holding the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with a mix of belief and doubt, but finally, a glimmer of hope sparked within him!

No matter how Tang San cultivated or how hard he worked, he currently lacked the confidence to surpass Ye Wen, to seek revenge, or to kill Ye Wen. Repeated setbacks had truly made it difficult for him to muster the courage and confidence for another attempt.

However, if he could become a God, it would be entirely different!

If he could become a God, Tang San absolutely had the confidence to slay Ye Wen!

“The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, just by looking at it, doesn’t seem like an ordinary item.”

At this moment, inside his room, Tang San sat at a table with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud placed before him. After much hesitation, he finally made a decision.

“Then I’ll try it. In any case, obtaining this item is beneficial and harmless to me. But if I can truly gain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s recognition, and if I truly have a chance to become a God, it would undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for me.” Tang San took a deep breath.

He took out a drop of blood and let it fall onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

The next second, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud automatically floated up, emitting a strong blue light. Then, with a sudden movement, it flew towards Tang San’s forehead, creating a bloodstain on his forehead.

A strange power instantly caused Tang San to fall unconscious.

His consciousness seemed to enter a special Mental Energy Domain space, as if within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The next second, he felt himself sinking into the vast ocean.

Before him, another massive wave seemed to be crashing down on him.

“What is this boundless Mental Energy fluctuation?” Tang San was impacted by the power of the vast sea. At this moment, he felt completely immersed in an boundless ocean.

After a long while, Tang San awakened. He had successfully gained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s recognition.

At the same time, outside Tang San’s room, a phantom image of the Sea God appeared, gazing at Tang San inside the house: “Sigh, how many years has it been.”

“I’ve finally found someone who can withstand the power of the vast sea. Although he can only barely endure it, it’s good enough.”

The next second, the Sea God phantom disappeared.

Tang San had fully recovered, his face filled with pleasant surprise: “This Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is even more powerful than I imagined. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a divine artifact.”

“The Vast Sea Body Protection Shroud can conceal form and aura, the Cosmic Soul Stabilizing Shroud controls and locks skills, making enemies with Mental Energy three times lower than my own unable to move their bodies. There’s also Vast Sea Surging Waves, a group attack skill, and Cosmic Demon Breaking, a single-target attack skill.”

“Endowed with four different skills, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud truly lives up to its reputation as the Heaven Dou Empire’s treasure of national importance!”

Tang San felt increasingly ecstatic. He wasn’t thrilled by the four skills, but rather by the fact that, after obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it was said he possessed the possibility of inheriting a God Position!

In the distant ocean, there was an Sea God Island, where it was rumored that a Sea God who had once broken through and become a God was worshipped!

“If I can gain the Sea God’s recognition and inherit the Sea God’s God Position, cultivating to become a God, then what would Ye Wen even count for?!”

“So what if he’s a Spirit Beast infinitely close to a million years of cultivation?! How can he contend against the power of a God?!”

“If that day comes! Ye Wen will definitely be slain by me!!!” Tang San was excited. His decadent, fallen demeanor was completely gone. His self-confidence was invisibly restored and rekindled. He had once again ignited the flame of hope!

But Tang San was completely unaware that all of this was under Ye Wen’s control.

Tang San was full of motivation: “I must try. I can’t continue to be decadent. I want to become stronger. I want to continue cultivating and venture to that legendary Sea God Island to explore its secrets!”

Tang San didn’t sleep that night, immediately starting to work hard and cultivate frantically.

Before going to Sea God Island, Tang San needed to plan and also possess a certain level of strength before he dared to go. After all, his current strength was too weak, only level 43.

With this level of strength, he would probably die before even reaching Sea God Island. Therefore, Tang San had to wait until his strength was roughly sufficient before departing!

And Tang San’s transformation was all observed by Ye Wen, who remained behind the scenes.

Three days later, Ye Wen, accompanied by Snow Empress, Zhuqing, and Shui Bing’er, left Heaven Dou City, preparing to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Wen had given Spirit Hall six months to find the Clear Sky Sect’s location. Only one month had passed, so there was still plenty of time.

Therefore, they would return first and cultivate in seclusion for a period.

Unknowingly, nearly five months passed.

Everyone’s human form strength had significantly improved, and their Soul Power had also increased by several levels.

Currently, Ye Wen’s Spirit Beast power rankings:

First, Ye Wen, 13 years old, Spirit Emperor level 66.

Second, Naer, 11 years old, Spirit King level 57.

Third, Snow Empress, 11 years old, Evil Tiger, 13 years old, both Spirit King level 55.

Fourth, Ice Empress, 11 years old, Xiao Bai, 13 years old, both Spirit King level 53.

Fifth, Da Ming, 12 years old, Er Ming, 12 years old, both Spirit Ancestor level 49.

Sixth, A Tai, 11 years old, Spirit Ancestor level 47.

Seventh, Ice Bear King, 11 years old, Spirit Ancestor level 46.

Ninth, Xiao Wu, 15 years old, Spirit Ancestor level 46.

Tenth, Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, Demon Tiger, 7 years old, Spirit Master level 18.

Also, Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing’er, who followed Ye Wen, currently have Soul Power of level 47 for Zhu Zhuqing, 15 years old.

Shui Bing’er, 16 years old, Spirit King level 53.

In total, there is one Spirit Emperor, five Spirit Kings, six Spirit Ancestors, and one Spirit Master.

Of course, in addition to the cultivation and improvement of Soul Power, Ye Wen also had everyone mutually improve their combat ability, combat awareness, as well as physical fitness and physique, through comprehensive training in all aspects.

Everyone’s strength had clearly improved significantly.

“Boss! I heard that everyone has absorbed the Immortal Plant you gave them that can instantly boost Soul Power, but why haven’t I?!” Demon Tiger had endured for a long time, but today he finally couldn’t help but ask.

“No rush. Absorbing it now would be a complete waste. When you break through to Spirit Grandmaster, I will arrange one for you, don’t worry.” Ye Wen shook his head and chuckled.

Demon Tiger had been secretly annoyed, thinking he wouldn’t get one, but upon realizing it wasn’t his time yet, he immediately became happy: “Alright! Boss, as long as I get one, that’s fine. This bit of time doesn’t matter.”
