Chapter 24 Finally Meeting the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin
After the Blue Silver King told the remaining Blue Silver Kings at the tens of thousands of years level what Jiang Li had told it, they all expressed their willingness to be transplanted into the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
It was incredibly convenient to be able to level up quickly while also protecting their previous emperor!
They said they really wanted to improve!
Jiang Li originally planned to put them all into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, so that after he transplanted Ah Yin's original body, he could go directly to the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes without having to return to the Blue Silver Forest.
But now he realized that his idea seemed a bit hasty.
The Blue Silver Forest was filled with the roots of these Blue Silver Kings, making it seem unlikely that they could be stored in a soul tool.
Surely this retired emperor, Blue Silver Emperor, could not possibly put all his subjects into the Emperor Banner?
After Jiang Li voiced his question, the leading Blue Silver King spoke up, "Your Majesty, these are not problems. We can shrink our size to that of a normal Blue Silver Grass, and that should solve the problem for you."
Hearing the Blue Silver King say this, Jiang Li nodded, indicating that they could begin.
That way, it would be the best thing if he could just pack up and take them away.
Soon, more than a dozen blue-gold rays of light shot into the sky, and the size of the Blue Silver Kings that had been chosen to be taken away rapidly shrank to a size that Jiang Li could handle.
"Little San, go and transplant them into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch."
"We will go to the place that might be where your mother's original body is later."
"Yes, Master."
Tang San snatched the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch from Jiang Li's hand and moved with lightning speed, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Soon... soon he would be able to see his mother, whom he had been longing for day and night!
These Blue Silver Kings were all loyal beasts that would protect their mothers as they grew up. Tang San also tried his best not to damage their root systems when transplanting them.
....
After the master and disciple had put almost all the Blue Silver Kings in the Blue Silver Forest into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, Tang San looked back one last time at the 'home' where his mother had lived for countless millennia. After turning around and feeling another voice calling to him from within, he said to Jiang Li beside him, "Master, let us go."
"Good."
As Tang San followed his intuition and moved quickly, he soon discovered that the place he was walking on seemed to be the same path that he and his master had taken.
After some time, Tang San discovered that they had arrived outside Notting City, but it was clear that this was not their destination.
The master and disciple continued their journey, and Tang San was utterly shocked when he discovered that his mother's true form seemed to be located near Holy Soul Village.
He said to Jiang Li in an almost trembling voice, "Master, this is the small village where little San grew up."
However, the only response he received was a faint "hmm" from Jiang Li.
As I said before, there are some things that Tang San needs to figure out for himself in order to get the truth he wants. He just needs to guide him from time to time.
Otherwise, if he, as the master, were to say something, his dutiful disciple might take it as him trying to sow discord between father and son, which would be terrible.
At this moment, Tang San was extremely confused. After going out with Jiang Li and learning so many secrets, he was no longer the clueless newbie he once was.
Since his mother was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor in human form, he figured the other party's strength would not be weak either.
And his father was able to withstand his mother's 100,000-year soul ring and escape unscathed from those pursuers who sought death. Needless to say, his father's strength was formidable.
But why had his father left his mother in this small Holy Soul Village all these years?
Before he awakened his martial soul, his father would not let him see his mother, and he was always drinking and wallowing in despair.
He could argue that his father felt he was too young to know such a secret.
The latter could be explained as the father's self-blame for not protecting his mother, which was why he was so depressed.
But...but...
The Blue Silver Forest was only a short distance from Holy Soul Village, so why did not his father put his mother's original body back into the Blue Silver Forest?
Tang San lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot.
He did not understand; he really did not understand at all.
"Alright, little San, let us go to where your mother is first."
"I think everything you want to know will be there."
Tang San lowered his head and nodded silently. After returning to the blacksmith shop where he had lived for six years, he found that his father was not there, but he did not say much.
Following his inner guidance, he led Jiang Li to a waterfall behind Holy Soul Village.
At this moment, the call that seemed to originate from his soul grew even stronger.
Tang San raised his head, and his eyes turned purple.
He was quite certain that his mother had been hidden behind the waterfall by his father.
"Master..."
Jiang Li understood as well. He raised his hand and summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to bind Tang San. Then, countless Blue Silver Vines emerged from the ground, forming a long ladder made of Blue Silver Grass that led all the way to a hidden cave behind the waterfall.
"Let us go, little San."
An unprecedented feeling arose in Tang San's heart.
It was a longing for maternal love that had been lacking in both lifetimes, and also the nervousness of about to meet his mother in this life.
At the same time, he also had countless doubts in his heart.
The master and his apprentice soon arrived at a huge cave behind the waterfall.
Tang San's eyes, glowing with purple light, scanned the area, and he discovered numerous traces of human excavation.
Without a doubt, this was his father's masterpiece.
However, the cold and damp feeling in the air made him instinctively frown. As a disciple of the Tang Clan in his previous life, he still knew the basic knowledge of how to cultivate a plant.
The master and apprentice continued walking forward until they arrived at a huge stone chamber with obvious signs of human intervention.
A beam of light shone down from above their heads, landing precisely in the center of the stone chamber.
Tang San looked up and saw that a circular hole had been cut into the top of the stone chamber, allowing sunlight to stream in from the outside and stir up fine dust particles in the air.
Following the direction of the beam of light, his gaze slowly fell to the very center.
There was a small mound of earth, about half a meter high, rising up there...
Tang San felt his heart skip a beat; he could not believe what he was seeing!
A solitary blue silver grass, which had given him an incredibly warm feeling, was growing on that quiet mound of earth.
