Chapter 6 Absorbing Spirit Bone
Looking at the scene before him, Tang Chuan's eyes widened, his mind trembled slightly, but he did not retreat.
He felt no hostility, but rather an unprecedented gentleness and intimacy, a feeling like being tightly embraced by his mother in a cold World.
It was an instinctive sense of security and belonging.
The Blue Silver Grass leaves gently wrapped around his arm, shoulder, chest, and even caressed a corner of his cheek—like a mother wiping tears from her child's face.
"Mother."
Tang Chuan's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes unknowingly became a little moist.
Before Transmigration, he was an orphan, and after Transmigration, he found himself on the Douluo Continent, only knowing that his mother, Ah Yin, had sacrificed herself for Tang Hao, and he had never met her.
Now, this scene made him somewhat dazed, even though he had not belonged to this World before. However, since he was an orphan in his previous life, when he truly felt a mother's love, his inner emotions were clearly uncontrollable.
Reaching out to gently caress the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him, feeling the gentle touch like a mother's palm, Tang Chuan's nose tingled slightly, and he slowly spoke, his voice low but firm:
"Mother... I will take you out of here now."
"It's dark and damp here, never seeing sunlight all year round, completely unsuitable for a plant-type Spirit Beast. What you need is sunlight, a gentle breeze, dew, a World that nourishes life, not a mountain cave as enclosed as a tomb."
As he spoke, he slowly took out a small shovel from his satchel.
He then bent down and carefully inserted the shovel into a corner of the small mound, his movements extremely gentle, as if fearing to harm even an inch of the Blue Silver Grass's roots.
Just as Tang Chuan began to gently dig the soil, the Blue Silver Grass that had been softly entwining him suddenly trembled violently!
"Are you the older brother, or the younger brother?"
"Is your father doing well? It's been six years, why hasn't he come to see me?"
"Oh, right, why are you alone today?"
Seeing her son, Ah Yin eagerly wanted to ask some questions, wanting to know everything about their father and son at the moment, but she couldn't make any sound because she was currently in plant form.
Similarly, Tang Chuan didn't know what Ah Yin was saying at that moment.
A moment later, he gently lifted Ah Yin, who was still with her original soil, and placed her into the small flower pot he had prepared earlier, which he had specifically brought before setting off.
After settling her, Tang Chuan's hands trembled slightly as he smoothed the soil around the edge of the flower pot, and he softly said, "Mother, you rest for a bit, I'll take you out soon."
With that, he slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping around the stone chamber.
The stone chamber remained silent, with no anomalies except for the roar of the waterfall.
Just then, his gaze fixed.
On a slightly protruding stone wall on the right side, there was an extremely subtle bulge, its surface covered with moss, but under the sunlight, its color was slightly lighter, different from the rest of the rock wall.
"Found it." A glint flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes.
He took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the stone wall, took a deep breath, and slammed his palm onto it!
"Bang!!"
As his palm landed, the stone wall trembled slightly.
The next moment, a mechanism clicked somewhere overhead.
Boom—!
A hidden mechanism was activated, and a black, elongated box fell from a crack in the stone wall above, dust scattered, and the reverberation echoed throughout the stone chamber.
Looking at the scene before him, Tang Chuan's eyes were slightly fervent.
Having thoroughly read the original work, he naturally knew that sealed within this box was the Spirit Bone left behind by Ah Yin after her sacrifice—the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Stepping forward, Tang Chuan knelt down and carefully opened the lid of the box.
"Click."
A soft sound.
The next moment, an extremely rich aura of life surged out like a tide!
The aura was as warm as a spring breeze and as powerful as a river, instantly filling the entire stone chamber!
Immediately after, a blue-gold light burst forth from the box, like the dawn's first light, illuminating all four walls, even dyeing the mist from the waterfall a sacred golden glow!
Inside the box lay a Spirit Bone, crystal clear throughout, with faint blue-gold patterns, as if cast from Colored Glaze. The outline of a leg was clearly discernible, and blue-gold spirit power Veins slowly flowed across its surface, as if it truly possessed life force.
"As long as I absorb it..."
"My Innate spirit power of only Rank one and my slow Cultivation speed will be completely compensated for. Furthermore... my spirit power Rank will increase significantly in a very short time."
Tang Chuan murmured, his voice low and fervent.
On the Douluo Continent, Spirit Bones are more precious than spirit rings, not only because they are difficult to obtain, but also because there is no spirit power Rank restriction for absorbing Spirit Bones. In other words, if you are lucky enough to obtain a 100,000-year-level Spirit Bone when your spirit power is at Rank one, you can still successfully absorb it.
With that, Tang Chuan no longer hesitated. He reached out with both hands and carefully lifted the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from the box. The moment his fingertips touched the Spirit Bone, a cool yet surging energy spread throughout his body like mercury.
He then took a deep breath and slowly placed the Spirit Bone against his right leg.
At the very moment of contact!
Boom!!
An extremely dazzling blue-gold light burst forth from the Spirit Bone, instantly illuminating the entire stone chamber as brightly as day!
Intense spirit power fluctuations swept out, and even a battle-hardened Titled Douluo, if present in the cave at this moment, would surely turn pale with fright.
Tang Chuan's body suddenly trembled, his eyes wide open, and blue-gold light glowed deep within his pupils!
He only felt a warmth in his right leg, and his entire leg seemed not to be a Physical Body, but to have transformed into a pure, blazing, and surging blue-gold light cluster.
The next second, a powerful life force surged in.
Tang Chuan's spirit power surged wildly within him! Boiling! Exploding!
At the same time, deep within the Soul Hunting Forest.
Mist permeated the forest, deep and damp.
In the center of a clearing entwined with vines, a slender, dark purple snake-type Spirit Beast lay quietly. Its body was covered in wounds, and it was completely lifeless.
In front of it, a young man dressed in blue battle attire sat cross-legged. A jade-white belt was tied around his waist, his breathing was slightly erratic, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
That young man was Tang San.
His eyes were tightly closed, his breathing was rapid, and spirit power continuously flowed over his body.
Around his body, a faint yellow spirit ring flickered, like rippling water.
And not far from him, a middle-aged man lay on the ground, his clothes tattered, his face purple, and foam at his mouth.
It was Yu Xiaogang.
The scene slowly pulled back.
At the top of a towering ancient tree, a dozen meters away from the clearing, another figure stood.
