Time to harvest!
Tang Lan didn't touch the Infernal Delicate Apricot or the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
These things lose their potency quickly after being picked.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could be used to cultivate the Invulnerable Diamond Body, which was perfect for advancing the Invulnerable Diamond Body's cultivation.
Cut it!
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was a pure yang supplement, ideal for absorbing with the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Cut it!
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red, growing on the stone, could bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh.
Even the stone was dug up!
The immortal herbs were all harvested.
Sweeping outward, he harvested everything.
Fire-attribute plants went on one side, ice-attribute plants on the other.
The ten-thousand-year-old ones went into a pile, the thousand-year-old ones into another.
Those that increased inner strength went into one pile, those with healing effects into another.
He swept through the area, sorting everything by type.
A smile never left Tang San's face.
What?
He was harvesting too thoroughly?
Well, he was leaving some behind, wasn't he?
There'd be another harvest in a hundred years.
As for leaving it to grow for a thousand years...
What a load of crap!
Resources should naturally be used to cultivate oneself first.
The Tang Sect was just a tool for him to harvest faith.
If he wanted good things, he would earn them himself later.
He would ransack the place.
Seeing that Tang Hao wouldn't recover anytime soon,
Tang Lan decided to "power up" first.
His current level far surpassed Tang San's in the original story, and his physique was also on a crushing level.
Relying on the protection of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy.
Tang Lan jumped directly into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
One side was extremely cold, like winter, and the other was scorching hot, like the blazing sun.
The exhilarating sensation of the ice and fire duality made Tang Lan shiver.
"Pfft—"
"Pfft—"
The External Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, and the Ice Blue Scorpion Tail appeared, and his clothes were torn apart like rotten wood, revealing his perfect, golden-ratio physique.
Tang Lan adjusted his position.
Placing the Ice Blue Scorpion Tail in the ice eye, it began to absorb the cold energy within—the diluted remnants of the Water Dragon King's divine power.
The cold disappeared.
Correspondingly, the Ice Blue Scorpion Tail's age was steadily increasing at a perceptible rate.
On the other side, Tang San's body was placed in the fire eye, the Nine Yang Divine Skill automatically circulating, absorbing the remaining divine power of the Fire Dragon King.
The temperature on his body soared, exceeding the fire eye's limit, causing a large amount of water vapor to rise.
—This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, capable of killing anyone, had become a training ground for Tang San.
He didn't even need the aid of the two immortal herbs to complete the "Ice and Fire Body Refinement."
—It would just take a bit longer.
Tang Lan indicated,
Since it can be accelerated, why waste time and energy?
He opened his Soul Spirit Domain.
His soul power materialized, and he plucked the two remaining immortal herbs.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, a flower of extreme cold, could chill the heart and paralyze the central nervous system.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot, a top-tier fire poison immortal herb, would cause ordinary people to suffer a fire poison attack upon approach.
Both were extremely poisonous.
However, if taken together, aided by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one could cultivate an invulnerable golden body that was immune to both water and fire!
– In short, water immunity and fire immunity.
At the same time, it significantly improved the physique and initial foundation.
The process of refining the body in ice and fire was painful.
But Tang Lan felt quite comfortable—even a little pleasant.
As soon as the cold and fire toxins entered his body, they were divided by the Ice Blue Scorpion Tail and the inner energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Only the pure medicinal power remained, being absorbed by his meridians, flesh, and cells.
His entire being, from the inside out, was undergoing a transformation.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
One by one, external spirit bones spontaneously emerged, also absorbing the residual divine power from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
They gradually climbed up the blue and red stripes.
The ice eye began to freeze over, while the fire eye was filled with water vapor.
This obscured Tang San's figure, and the red and blue light flickered.
It was like a rave.
Even Tang Hao, who was immersed in his memories, looked over in surprise.
His gaze was extremely strange!
This eldest son...
Didn't he know too much?
Ah Yin's branches wrapped around Tang Hao's fingers, and a determined emotion was transmitted.
This softened Tang Hao's expression considerably.
Tang Lan soaked in the bath for a full day and night.
It was so comfortable he didn't want to get out.
But…
His body had already absorbed its fill. The blood flowing through him was now of the same quality as that of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
There was nothing left to absorb.
However, Tang Lan's reinforcement hadn't ended yet.
He took out the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, first consuming the sky-piercing stamen, then swallowing the petals in large mouthfuls. He discarded the stem, casually sticking it into the ground.
Maybe it'll even grow.
Golden light shone on Tang Lan's body. The Invulnerable Diamond Body activated automatically.
Following that, it turned into a golden color.
Invulnerable Diamond Body!
Tang Lan used the medicinal properties of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to refine the Invulnerable Diamond Body's Invulnerable Diamond Body.
The golden light became even more intense.
Like a hot knife through butter, it reached the Great Completion stage and charged towards the Perfect stage.
Another half a day passed.
The golden light on Tang Lan's body was as dazzling as the sun.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still lacked stamina and couldn't break through to the Perfect realm.
It remained at the peak of Great Accomplishment.
Tang Lan opened his eyes, disappointed.
If I could get another Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it would definitely be enough!
Mmm...
I'm being greedy.
The Invulnerable Diamond Body at the peak of Great Accomplishment can increase my physique by another tenfold on top of the Invulnerable Diamond Body.
If I go all out now...
Tang Lan turned his gaze towards Tang Hao.
"Could I have a spar with this Clear Sky Douluo?"
"We'll see if we try."
Tang Lan flew out from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The Nine Yang Divine Skill's inner energy evaporated the spring water as he took out a set of clothes and put them on.
He landed beside Tang Hao and sat down cross-legged.
Facing Tang Hao, who looked like he wanted to speak but hesitated, Tang Lan grinned.
He released a more potent Boundless Sea Soul Seal, enclosing himself and Tang Hao within it.
This sealed them off from any potential eavesdropping.
Although, for a god, bypassing this defense would be as simple as piercing a sheet of paper.
But it would also alert Tang Lan—someone was eavesdropping.
Before that,
he could comfortably PUA, ah, no, spin a story for Tang Hao.
He started with a critical hit—
"I think you've guessed it, my background and that of Xiao San are not simple."
Tang Hao's eyes narrowed! He stared fixedly at Tang Lan, trying to see something.
"Don't guess," Tang Lan confessed. "Let me put it this way, Xiao San and I are not entirely your sons. The difference is that I'm a legacy, and Xiao San is... a case of seizing the body."
Tang Hao's body trembled! Even though he was prepared.
It was still hard for Tang Hao to accept, even though he knew the truth.
Wait a minute!
"What do you mean by inheritance and seizing?" Tang Hao asked hoarsely.
Tang Lan didn't answer.
"Do you know how vast this world is?"
Tang Hao was silent for a few seconds before saying, "My ancestor, Tang Chen, left some words behind. Outside of the Douluo Continent, there are many small islands, with Sea God Island being the largest."
Tang Lan smiled and shook his head.
"Beyond the Douluo Continent, there is also the Sun Moon Continent, where Soul Tools are prevalent, and prosperity surpasses that of the Douluo Continent."
"And the Douluo Star beneath our feet is merely one of the lower planes of the God Realm."
"The origins of all this can be traced back to the Dragon God."
Tang Lan began to narrate the history of the God Realm.
The Dragon God, driven mad by violating the laws of the universe, led the unaware Dragon Clan and Beast Gods into a war against gods like the Asura.
This great battle left the God Realm strewn with corpses, and the Dragon Clan vanished from that point on.
A large number of gods perished, and the God Realm's territory was reduced to less than one percent of its former size.
After regaining clarity, the Dragon God was filled with remorse. He devoured the resentment of the God Realm and willingly allowed the Asura to cleave him.
He let the part that represented good leave, preserving a sliver of hope for the Dragon Clan.
The part belonging to the evil thoughts was suppressed in the God Realm, to be worn down by time.
And He decreed that, After His death, unless the Dragon Clan revived and the Dragon God reappeared, the beast clans were not allowed to become gods in the God Realm.
The story went on.
Tang Lan then revealed the Sea God's Mark and the God of Destruction's Mark.
Proving that gods truly existed.
Only then did the conversation change –
"This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is formed from the divine power released by the corpses of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King after they fell here."
"And I, as the benevolent thought of the Dragon God, have transcended time and reincarnated into this body, born from a human and a Soul Beast."
"But I'm not taking over his body. It's more like a legacy, a fusion with that newborn soul."
"I even sealed most of his memories, fearing he wouldn't be able to handle it, allowing them to awaken gradually as his strength grew."
"Therefore, I am still your son, only I have received the inheritance of the Dragon God's benevolence."
Tang Hao was stunned after hearing this story, unable to recover for a long time.
So, his eldest son was actually the "reincarnation of the Dragon God"? Everything made sense now!
Why did Tang Lan start cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill from such a young age?
Why did Tang Lan have so many Self-Created Soul Skills?
Why was Tang Lan able to write the Tang Sect Encyclopedia at the age of 13?
Tang Hao did some self-reflection.
The more he thought about the story, the more reasonable it seemed!
His gaze softened as he looked at Tang Lan.
But then, his brows furrowed! "Son, you just said Tang San was possessed?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing "son," Tang Lan knew his story had successfully pulled the wool over his eyes.
But he controlled his facial expressions well, feigning helplessness.
"I only fully understood after I recently came into contact with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and awakened most of my memories."
"All of Tang San's Self-Created Soul Skills, cultivation techniques, and hidden weapons don't belong to this world, or rather, this plane."
"Didn't I just say that Douluo Continent is merely one of the planes under the God Realm?"
Tang Lan stopped there, not stating the "conclusion."
Tang Hao understood immediately.
He widened his eyes and trembled, saying,
"Son, are you saying that a soul from another plane has taken over Tang San's body?"
As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo, his ability to fill in the gaps was strong.
But Tang Lan shook his head.
"It's not really an occupation; it's more like a fusion, just like me."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to awaken his Martial Soul and absorb Soul Rings."
"It's just that the method of inheritance is different from mine."
"Little San, from the moment he was born, already carried the complete memories of his previous life."
Tang Hao stepped back half a step, his face etched with sorrow.
A child, newly born, was "fused" with a soul that possessed complete memories.
Although it wasn't a case of seizing a body.
How much consciousness remained of the original child?
It was like pouring an entire truckload of ink into a single drop of water.
It was said to be integrated, but in reality, it was just swallowing!
Thinking of this, Tang Hao exuded tangible killing intent, and the surrounding air froze into ice crystals.
Slaughter God's Domain!
This was killing intent aimed at Tang San, or rather, the Tang Sect Tang San's soul within!
But could Tang Lan let Tang San die?
If he died, how would he farm rewards?
He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tang Hao's arm.
"Dad, don't be impulsive!"
"Although Xiao San's soul is..."
"But at least one in ten thousand is Xiao San's."
"He also has your and Mom's blood flowing in him. If you kill him yourself, how will you explain it to Mom in the future?"
Tang Hao froze.
His face was contorted with rage, veins bulging on his skin, and his hair stood on end like steel needles!
The imposing aura of a Clear Sky Douluo erupted without restraint!
Tang Lan, being the closest, bore the brunt of it.
Fortunately,
he had a habit of constantly keeping his Spirit Domain open, so he only felt a slight pressure.
But Tang Hao didn't know this.
After regaining his senses, he immediately retracted his aura.
He hastily checked on Tang Lan's condition.
Seeing that there was no serious harm,
his trust in Tang Lan's story deepened again.
——How could an ordinary Soul King with five soul rings withstand his aura?
He also sobered up.
Tang Lan was right.
This matter... was really difficult to resolve.
The best way was to let it go.
He had originally wanted Tang San to try and master more of the Clear Sky School's ultimate techniques.
Now, he had given up on that idea.
——He wasn't worthy!
Look at Tang Lan.
From childhood, what good things hadn't he given Tang San?
And the result? Tang San kept all his skills to himself, not revealing a single thing! This is a thankless wretch. I'll act like I don't have this son anymore!
Tang Hao sighed deeply.
He looked at Tang Lan, his eyes filled with affection.
Thank goodness!
He still had a son, and his future was bright.
"Son, what level are you at now?"
Speaking of this…
Tang Lan scratched his head.
Although he had eaten three immortal herbs.
But the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were used to temper his body with ice and fire, aiding the absorption of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Most of the medicinal properties were consumed by his body, and the Ice Blue Scorpion Tail.
This increased the lifespan of his soul rings by ten thousand years.
The Ice Blue Scorpion Tail also soared from twenty thousand years to seventy thousand years – again providing five thousand years of soul ring lifespan.
Only the fire poison, and the energy from the fire eye, were absorbed by the inner energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, increasing his level by seven.
Bringing his level to 59.
But don't underestimate this level 7!
Tang Lan's inner force quality was ten times that of his peers.
Then came the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Most of its medicinal properties were used to advance the Invulnerable Diamond Body, forging the undefeated Invulnerable Diamond Body into a state of great completion and perfection.
His level,
didn't increase at all.
But was this a problem?
He had harvested a pile of fire-attribute, millennia-old spiritual herbs, and his level would rise in a few days just by chewing on those herbs.
On the contrary,
the immortal herbs had forged a foundation for him to become a god, which was not comparable to mere levels!
The most direct benefit was the increase in combat power.
——Back then, he could only handle five or six!
This made Tang Lan eager to try.
"Dad, I'm level 59," Tang Lan said with fighting spirit, "Do you want to have a fight? I want to see where my limit is!"
Tang Hao stroked his beard, somewhat surprised.
Level 59?
If Tang Lan put in a bit more effort, he'd be level 60?
A 13-year-old Soul Emperor with six rings?
This talent...
It's a monster!
But then, he burst out laughing.
"Son, although you have monstrous talent, you're only level 59 after all."
"Your old man's old injuries have healed, and I'm now a peak Douluo at level 96. It's not a problem for me to fight someone at level 97, or even contend with someone at level 98!"
"Are you sure you want to fight me?"
