Douluo Continent 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 914: A Summoning? Things have been going very well for the humans lately. The Sea Giants and the Sea Sky Tree tribes have been incredibly helpful, and the major islands have already begun connecting. Although no more humans have migrated there yet, preparations are already underway. As soon as the time is right, more people will be able to move there. As for those already on the islands, they could be said to be living in peace and prosperity. The only thing they still lacked was a cultivation method of their own. Tang San had set out to seek inspiration. By the time he returned, he should have a solution. Everything was moving in the right direction. It’s just been so long since I’ve seen him. The last time he returned, it was only a fleeting visit through his spiritual sense””a mere flash in the pan. We didn’t even get to properly”¦ At this thought, Mei Gongzi’s pretty face flushed involuntarily. The pangs of longing really aren’t pleasant. Once this martial arts match for marriage is settled, she’ll make sure he never leaves again. After an unknown period of purification, Tang San’s spiritual consciousness within the Crystal Imperial Pillar gradually regained awareness. As a being of divine status, his spiritual consciousness was exceptionally stable, and he perceived the things Jingjing had transmitted to him with great clarity. The Crystal Imprint had also changed. Originally, it had been the most inconspicuous among all the bloodline imprints, with Jingjing slumbering within it. But now, the Crystal Imprint had transformed into a hexagon, radiating a dazzling glow, with dragon-shaped patterns etched upon it. It emitted a strange, crystalline luster. What shocked Tang San even more was that the ranking of his own bloodline imprints had actually changed. Originally, the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor held the top spot, followed by Jin Mengbian””these two were the supreme bloodlines. The Vajra Lion-Tiger Transformation, which had previously fused with the Vajra Heavenly Spirit Emperor, ranked third. Then came the Spirit-Synchronized Heavenly Eye, Peacock Transformation, and Time-Space Transformation. But now, while the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor still held the top spot, the second position was no longer occupied by Jin Mengbian, but by the hexagonal Crystal Transformation bloodline imprint. Crystal Transformation is second? What does this mean? It means its inherent strength surpasses even the two super bloodlines of Jin Mengbian and the Vajra Lion-Tiger Transformation. A true super bloodline! As expected of you. Truly worthy of your former title as the number one sovereign. Without fusing with any other bloodline, the Crystal Variation has actually become the second-strongest existence, surpassed only by the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor. The Chaos Blue-Silver Emperor is an entity capable of amplifying all bloodline imprints, able to bestow the Yin and Yang energies upon any other bloodline imprint. In a sense, it is not only the first but also the core. And now, aside from it, the strongest bloodline imprint is actually Crystal Transformation. Is it merely the power of the seal? After this realization, Tang San has come to understand that Crystal Great Demon Emperor’s sealing talent is indeed a divine consciousness technique. Even in his previous life, attacks using divine consciousness were mostly direct assaults or relied on the strength of the divine consciousness to exert control. However, Crystal Great Demon Emperor’s divine consciousness skill is like a form of magic that manipulates divine consciousness””an extraordinarily神奇 ability. Because this Sealing Talent is cast through divine consciousness, it can be used anywhere. It can seal others, or seal oneself when necessary; it can seal Divine Artifact, or even seal other divine consciousnesses. The possibilities for transformation are vast. “Dad. You’re awake. Do you sense the changes?” Jingjing’s voice rang out. “Hmm, I sense the changes within myself, but I’m not entirely sure about the changes in my bloodline imprint. Have you gained some new ability?” Tang San asked. Jingjing chuckled and said, “If they ask you what power you’ve gained from this Imperial Heavenly Pillar, just tell them it’s ‘Summoning.’ ” “Summoning?” Tang San paused, puzzled. What did that mean? Jingjing said proudly, “You have so many bloodline imprints. If I were just one of them, how could I demonstrate my importance? You’ll find out soon enough. It’s not just an enhancement for you””it will also serve as the best disguise for all your bloodline imprints.” “Oh?” Just as Tang San was about to ask for details, the crystalline light around him suddenly shattered, like a crystal shattering in an explosion. His spiritual sense was flung out along with it, instantly returning to his physical body. The crystal light shot skyward, causing all the Emperors in meditation to open their eyes almost simultaneously and look toward the Crystal Imperial Heavenly Pillar. Witnessing this scene, every Emperor present was stunned. Many powerful figures had been baptized by the Imperial Heavenly Pillar, and the Emperors present had all experienced it themselves, but a transformation like the one unfolding before their eyes was a first! How could the Imperial Heavenly Pillar seem as if it had come to life? Yet, the Crystal Imperial Heavenly Pillar held a special place in their hearts; after all, it was the first Imperial Heavenly Pillar in history to reach six hundred meters in height. After coiling around several times, the massive crystal dragon suddenly plunged downward, charging straight toward Tang San at the top of the Imperial Heavenly Pillar. Instantly, a dazzling crystal radiance burst forth from Tang San. In the very next moment, the massive crystal dragon actually plunged into his body and vanished without a trace. Yet the Imperial Heavenly Pillar itself remained crystal clear, and its inherent aura showed no sign of change. What had just happened? All the Emperors were left utterly bewildered. Even the Heavenly Sun and Heavenly Spirit Emperor turned to look at the Celestial Fox Great Demon Emperor, a questioning expression on his face. “Come here,” Emperor Tianyang Tianjing beckoned to him. Tang San leaped down from the Crystal Imperial Pillar and returned to stand before the assembly of Emperors. Wave after wave of divine perception swept over him without hesitation, as if they intended to see right through him. Yet the life energy emanating from Tang San was incredibly dense, as if he were a priceless treasure of heaven and earth himself. Aside from this pure and vast life energy, they could sense nothing else emanating from him. What even the Heavenly Sun and Heavenly Spirit Emperors had been unable to achieve, they naturally could not accomplish either. He had reined himself in considerably; though his destiny remained overwhelmingly powerful, it no longer carried that previous aura of overwhelming dominance over the world. “What did you feel after undergoing the baptism of the Crystal Emperor’s Celestial Pillar?” The Earth Yin Celestial Emperor, standing beside the Heavenly Yang Celestial Emperor, asked with some impatience. Tang San paused for a moment, then replied somewhat bewilderedly, “I saw a woman wearing a long white dress. She looked very much like a human and was incredibly beautiful. Then she seemed to say something to me, but I couldn’t quite make it out””it was all so hazy. I felt as though she was imparting something to me. I don’t know how long it lasted; it was just a moment ago.” “Is that all?” the Emperor of the Underworld asked doubtfully. Tang San nodded earnestly; even if he were lying, they wouldn’t be able to tell. The Celestial Emperor of the Sun said, “After your report is finished, you should reflect on it deeply; it should be very helpful to you. See what insights you can gain, and if you need anything, feel free to ask us at any time. I suggest you don’t rush back after your report; stay at Zuting for a while. That way, if you need any help, we can assist you promptly. Do you understand?”
