Douluo Continent 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 774: The Resurrection Ritual Great White Tiger Demon Emperor continued to Mei Gongzi, “Your judgment is better than your mother’s. The young man you’ve found is quite impressive. Though he’s a bit too clever for his own good, he’s absolutely devoted to you. However, he’s also truly reckless””to help you fulfill your duties, he chose to provoke a tribulation at such a critical moment, even endangering the entire Zuting and forcing all the Emperors to intervene. At the time, I had guessed as much, but I dismissed the possibility in my own mind. I didn’t think he was capable of it. But I still underestimated him””I have to admit, this kid is impressive. Still, a man like that is incredibly attractive. You’d better keep a close eye on him and don’t give anyone else a chance to snatch him away.” Mei Gongzi snorted and said, “I’m not worried at all. If he gets snatched away by someone else, it just proves I’m not attractive enough. Besides, he won’t.” Tang San turned to glance at Great White Tiger Demon Emperor. Was she trying to ruin the resurrection ritual? The first part was fine””it was a compliment””but the second part was just rubbing salt in the wound. Clearing his throat, Tang San said, “I’m going to begin.” A faint smile tugged at the corner of Great White Tiger Demon Emperor’s mouth. You little brat””you get nervous too? At that moment, Tang San stood beside the magical array, his expression grave. Immediately, he slowly released his spiritual sense, activating the array. Without needing to be reminded, Great White Tiger Demon Emperor had already used his own spiritual sense to hermetically seal off the entire study, ensuring that not a single trace of energy would leak out. Within the formation, the body known as Xiao He lay completely flat. The runic patterns surrounding him gradually began to glow. Ring after ring of golden light slowly illuminated, and Tang San’s spirit remained in a state of peak alertness. With a flash of light, the Tower of Time and Space slowly materialized before his lower abdomen. The Trident of the Sea God resided within Tang San’s sea of consciousness, serving as the core of his spiritual awareness. Meanwhile, the Tower of Space-Time had been placed by Tang San within his dantian, where it stood guard. It was nourished by the chaotic energy emanating from Tang San’s Chaos Blue-Silver Grass. Even for an entity like the Spacetime Beacon, the Chaos Qi was a potent elixir. This single drop of Chaos Qi would eventually have to be returned to the plane before Tang San departed. But at least while he remained in this plane, he could utilize it to aid himself. The Spacetime Tower radiated a milky white glow; this was the second time Great White Tiger Demon Emperor had seen this object. Instantly, his gaze sharpened as he examined it closely. Last time, Tang San had used this very object to forcibly intercept a strand of his divine consciousness, then performed a time reversal to witness his actions with the Celestial Fox, Great Demon Emperor. At the time, Great White Tiger Demon Emperor had been both furious and utterly shocked. He hadn’t even figured out how Tang San had managed it. Later, upon careful reflection, he vaguely surmised that it must have been the ability to control time and space. Now, seeing this Divine Artifact””which emitted fluctuations of both temporal and spatial attributes””once again, his heart couldn’t help but race. With his discerning eye, he could clearly see the immense value of this Divine Artifact. Time and space””these are the two most profound elements! For them to appear simultaneously in a single Divine Artifact made it an absolute masterpiece. Moreover, it seemed that Tang San had mastered its application to a high degree, clearly having spent a very, very long time refining it. So powerful is the Divine Artifact that even the Great White Tiger Demon Emperor would consider it his own Fate Divine Artifact. Tang San concentrated his divine sense intently on the Tower of Time and Space. Layer upon layer of white halos flowed down from the tower, enveloping the body below and the entire formation. On the surface, it appeared as though nothing was happening, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the light patterns on the ground and the flow of light had slowed down; everything seemed to have become sluggish. Immediately afterward, Tang San pressed his palms together in a gesture, and a gentle white light slowly emanated from his hands. Influenced by the Tower of Space-Time, this energy descended very slowly, falling like mist and gradually flowing into Xiao He’s body. This is the energy of the Xuantian Art. To use this body to revive Peacock Great Demon King, the first step is to cure the body’s original ailments. As Tang San continued to infuse the energy, Xiao He’s body remained motionless, yet a white aura gradually began to radiate from him. Tang San used the Xuantian Gong to clear his blood vessels, which was also equivalent to cleansing his marrow and transforming his tendons. Taking advantage of the fact that this body was currently soulless, he adjusted its bones, meridians, and blood vessels to a certain extent. This transformed this ordinary body into an extraordinary one. As more and more Xuantian Gong was infused, Tang San””now a god-tier being””fully activated the technique’s endless vitality. Life energy flowed in, continuously enhancing the body’s functions. Xiao He had been dead for only a short time, so although his heart had stopped, the rest of his body retained strong vitality. Now, stimulated by Tang San, his entire body began to undergo a metamorphosis. Grayish-black substances continuously seeped out of his pores, only to be burned away by Tang San using the Xuantian Gong. His entire body gradually began to become crystal clear. Great White Tiger Demon Emperor stood by silently observing, simultaneously using his divine sense to perceive the characteristics of the energy released by Tang San. The look of astonishment on his face grew deeper. The more he observed, the more he realized that this was not bloodline power at all. It was not the power possessed by any form of the Demon God Transformation. Rather, it was a very pure form of energy, much like the primordial energy of heaven and earth after being purified and compressed. Moreover, under its influence, that body had undergone a complete transformation. Every aspect of the body was changing. Great White Tiger Demon Emperor was not incapable of using his own power to enhance the functions of other living beings, but he knew he could not achieve what Tang San had done””a transformation that seemed to elevate the very level of life itself. Under the continuous refinement of the Xuantian Art, the overall condition of this body had undergone a complete and radical transformation; even the skin and features had begun to change, as if they were no longer ordinary at all. Tang San spent a long time refining this body; it wasn’t simply a matter of curing the original ailments, but rather a thorough refinement from the inside out. The method Tang San employed was the physical refinement technique of the Body Cultivation Sect, as practiced by Douluo Continent. Physical refinement is normally an excruciating process, but since Xiao He was still a corpse, what pain could a corpse possibly feel? This made it the ideal environment for refinement. Moreover, this process is extremely difficult to replicate””unless someone is willing to die and find a new body to be reborn in. After all, this was, in a sense, one of his own fathers-in-law”¦ Although he had chosen a human body for him, Tang San still felt compelled to do his best. As the Xuantian Gong circulated continuously, the corpse’s original purplish-blue discoloration gradually faded. The figure became lifelike, even taking on a somewhat ethereal air. The corners of Tang San’s mouth turned up slightly. “Father-in-law! I’ve been pretty good to you, haven’t I?” With this foundation, whatever abilities he cultivates in the future will yield twice the results with half the effort. Moreover, progress will come very easily. As for how his future father-in-law would cultivate, the path of the Demon God Transformation was naturally the way to go. After all, Peacock Great Demon King already possessed the foundation for the Peacock Transformation; with that in hand, it was naturally the best method of cultivation. As for how to obtain the Peacock Transformation bloodline, that was a question for Wang Qing. The Peacock Transformation derived from the Peacock Great Demon Emperor bloodline naturally yields the best results. External bloodlines are, of course, no problem either. (End of Chapter)
