Chapter 25 Mother and Son Reunion; Tang San's Heartbreak
Tang San felt as if his heart was about to break.
He could not mistake that feeling of blood connection, which was even stronger than the one his own master had given him!
Mother! The mother he longed for day and night!
But now, he discovered that his great mother's true form was placed in a small, damp cave, where she could only receive sunlight that shone through the narrow opening each day.
Tang San looked up at the sky, his eyes blazing with boundless purple light as he stared intently at the cave entrance above.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and there is no other place where sunlight can shine in.
This meant that his great mother could only enjoy the sunlight for a brief moment at noon each day!
It was important to know that the Blue Silver Emperor possessed extreme vitality, coupled with its inexhaustible life force...
Tang San could not believe what kind of torment his mother had suffered to become like this, listless and lifeless!
Perhaps sensing the shared Blue Silver Emperor aura emanating from Tang San and Jiang Li, Ah Yin, who had been on the verge of death, began to sway slowly on the small mound of earth.
Tang San was filled with mixed feelings. At this moment, he had only one strong belief in his heart: to take his mother away from this place!
His eyes filled with tears, and he rushed to the small mound where Ah Yin's true form was planted, raising his hand as if to touch the swaying branches of the Blue Silver Emperor.
However, just as his hand was about to touch it, a domineering and powerful soul force directly repelled him.
For a moment, Tang San looked at his hands and felt somewhat helpless, but he believed that with his master's knowledge, he could definitely help his mother get out of her current predicament.
Thump—
Tang San knelt down directly in Jiang Li's direction, his forehead repeatedly hitting the ground. "Master, please help me!"
Jiang Li stated that given Ah Yin's current predicament, he, as the newly appointed Blue Silver Emperor, was determined to save her.
However, there was a great deal of knowledge involved in how to rescue someone—whether it was a slow, gentle, or rhythmic rescue.
The moment he entered the cave, Jiang Li, through his powerful spiritual energy, found the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone, which Tang Hao had placed inside a mechanism in the wall.
"Little San, summon your martial soul. Your mother's soul has fallen into a deep sleep. Try to see if you can awaken it."
Tang San nodded in agreement and slowly raised his right hand. A Blue Silver Emperor plant, identical to the one on the small mound, appeared in his hand.
Jiang Li was not idle either. He quietly activated his Blue Silver Domain, continuously drawing the life force of nearby plants into Ah Yin's body.
The next second, a miracle happened!
The Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's palm trembled suddenly, as if drawn by some kind of close and beloved force.
The next moment, the blue silver grass on the small mound gently responded to the tremor, and a golden line that seemed to contain the secret of life lit up instantly!
At this moment, the two bloodlines resonated in a way that transcended their physical forms.
A faint, yet primal, light pattern silently spread from the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's palm, gently connecting to the one on the mound.
In just a moment when the light patterns intersected, Ah Yin's dormant consciousness was completely awakened.
That familiar yet unique scent struck the deepest part of her soul.
"This is..."
"My child..."
Years of suppressed longing and pain had now transformed into a surging river.
Ah Yin's consciousness surged forth, and at that moment, she recognized Tang San without a doubt!
Those were the flesh and blood she nurtured with her life, the child she worried about day and night!
The next second...
The blue silver grass on the small mound seemed to be given life, suddenly bursting forth with the power of growth!
The leaves unfurled rapidly, their golden veins beating gently yet powerfully like a heart, quickly climbing upwards and spreading outwards.
Each Blue Silver Grass leaf was no longer an ordinary vine, but rather like countless tender threads full of love, gently extending from the small mound and slowly approaching Tang San.
The soul power barrier originally set up by Tang Hao was also dissolved by Jiang Li's continuous use of the power of his domain.
At this moment, the blue-silver vines that Ah Yin had transformed into no longer posed any obstacle, gently caressing Tang San's cheeks like a mother's hand.
Having lived two lives, Tang San felt his mother's touch for the first time. The feeling captivated him, and he stood there dumbfounded.
He sensed no hostility from the blue silver grass vines; instead, he was enveloped by an unprecedented tenderness and intimacy that reached his very soul.
The feeling was like being suddenly embraced tightly by a mother's warm and strong arms in an extremely cold, icy world!
It was an instinct that came from the depths of one's blood, an absolute sense of security and belonging!
The blue-silver vines wrapped around his arms, shoulders, and chest with exquisite gentleness, and finally, a leaf tip tenderly brushed against the corner of his cheek.
The gesture was as gentle as a mother wiping away a tear about to fall from her child's eye.
"Mother!"
Tang San's lips trembled violently, and he could no longer hold back his tears, which instantly welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Li could not help but sigh at the heartwarming scene before him, thinking how kind and filial the mother and child were.
However, he also knew that from the moment he shattered the soul power shield set up by Tang Hao, the other party must have already sensed the commotion here and was now rushing towards this place like a mad dog.
Furthermore, the area where that giant rat was currently active must be in the Notting City area, so even if he wanted to escape without leaving a trace, it would be too late.
"Little San, I will help you take your mother away from here, but before that..."
Jiang Li quickly sensed the location of the mechanism using his powerful mental energy. After pressing it, a box made of a special material fell out of the mechanism and was caught steadily by him.
Once opened, an extremely rich life force rushed out, and the interior of the cave seemed to have become an ocean of life.
A blinding blue-gold light burst forth from within, revealing a crystal-clear right leg bone with blue-gold patterns lying quietly inside.
"Little San, this soul bone is a 100,000-year-old soul bone left behind when your mother sacrificed herself. It contains most of your mother's original essence. It is undoubtedly the most suitable for you to absorb it."
Jiang Li pushed it in front of Tang San without hesitation, indicating that he should absorb it.
Although a 100,000-year-old soul bone was still top-grade, it was not quite enough for him now that he had already absorbed two Dragon King-level soul bones.
