Chapter 100: Tang Hao's Scheme
"Master, what do you mean by impossible?" Tang Hao noticed Yu Xiaogang's loss of composure.
The master took a few more glances at Bai Yan's spirit, confirming that he hadn't misjudged it. Although the spirit was somewhat different, it was still Blue Silver Grass.
"I once investigated and found that out of the 647 people whose spirit was Blue Silver Grass in the past hundred years, only 16 of them possessed soul power, which is less than 3%."
Even among those sixteen, none had innate soul power exceeding level one.
Such innate soul power made it difficult to even cultivate to the Great Soul Master level, yet Bai Yan had reached the four-ring Soul Elder realm, so he said it was impossible!
Tang Hao frowned, and Bai Yan felt a little flustered when she saw his expression.
She had reached her current level first because she had previously absorbed the cultivation of others. How could cultivating on her own be as fast as absorbing others?
Second, it was because Ah Yin had helped her awaken her spirit a second time, which greatly accelerated her cultivation speed.
As someone who had trained in the City of Slaughter, Tang Hao was naturally familiar with the concept of fallen Soul Masters.
So after being with Tang Hao, she suppressed the desire to devour spirits.
Fortunately, Ah Yin had helped her awaken the Blue Silver King spirit. The dignified aura of a king overwhelmed the aura of corruption; otherwise she would probably have been discovered by Tang Hao long ago.
Now that Yu Xiaogang had brought it up, how could she remain calm?
How could Tang Hao, as the successor of the Clear Sky Sect, possibly be with a fallen person?
"Master, can't Yan'er be the special one?" Tang Hao asked.
The master confidently shook his head and said, "Impossible!"
He thought to himself, how could the records of Spirit Hall be wrong?
At this moment, to avoid Tang Hao misunderstanding, Bai Yan finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Hao, Master, actually my spirit was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass at first. It was my teacher who helped me awaken my spirit again."
"My achievements today are all thanks to the help of my teacher."
Although Ah Yin had never acknowledged the three as her disciples, they had long regarded Ah Yin as their teacher.
"Awakening the spirit again?" The master's eyes lit up.
If Blue Silver Grass could do it, then could his Luo San Pao also do it?
He had already seen his chance to break through his bottleneck, cultivate into a powerful expert, and return to slap his clan and Spirit Hall in the face.
"Yan'er, why didn't you tell me this before?" Tang Hao also became interested.
"I'm sorry, Hao, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that my teacher prefers to live in seclusion and doesn't like to meet people."
The reason Bai Yan didn't say it was because Ah Yin was simply too beautiful.
Even though she only had three-tenths of Ah Yin's beauty, she could still attract Tang Hao and his brother. If they saw Ah Yin, their souls would be stolen away.
At this moment, the master asked eagerly, "Madam Tang, I wonder how your spirit was awakened again?"
In order to clear herself of suspicion as a fallen one, Bai Yan recounted the events of that time.
"My teacher used her Blue Silver Grass spirit to trigger the resonance of Blue Silver Grass and other plant-type soul beasts in the forest."
"That power surged into my body, causing my spirit to awaken once again. By the way, my spirit is now actually the Blue Silver King spirit!"
"Blue Silver King spirit?" The master suddenly remembered a scroll of soul beast illustrations he had seen in Spirit Hall.
"That's right, I remember now—your spirit is indeed the Blue Silver King spirit!"
"But if your teacher can help you awaken your spirit, what level of Blue Silver Grass is her spirit?" the master murmured.
Tang Hao and the master exchanged a glance, and at the same time they thought of a possibility.
That was the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass soul beasts—the Blue Silver Emperor. Only someone of that level could help Bai Yan's spirit awaken again.
Moreover, the Ah Yin who could do this was probably not human; she might be a legendary transformed soul beast.
Otherwise, how could she manipulate other Blue Silver Grass soul beasts and help Bai Yan awaken her spirit?
Thinking of this, Tang Hao felt a surge of excitement.
He was already over level 80. If his ninth spirit ring could absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring, how powerful would he become?
Yu Xiaogang only thought of the Blue Silver Emperor but didn't consider the possibility of a transformed soul beast, because he had no knowledge of that.
Tang Hao chatted with Yu Xiaogang for a while, then hurriedly pulled Bai Yan away.
"Yan'er, let me ask you—what level of Soul Master is your teacher?" Tang Hao asked urgently.
Bai Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know; we haven't been in contact for several years."
Tang Hao then asked, "When you parted ways with your teacher, what level of Soul Master was she?"
"I remember that after our teacher broke through to the Soul Emperor realm, she let us go down the mountain to train!"
"Hahaha, this is great! Heaven is helping me!" Tang Hao exclaimed excitedly.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast could only transform into human form after cultivating to the Soul Emperor level to enter maturity and conceal its soul beast aura.
The teacher Bai Yan mentioned fit this description perfectly.
After she used Bai Yan's popularity to cultivate to the Soul Emperor level, Bai Yan and the others became useless, so her teacher sent them down the mountain.
Bai Yan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Hao, what are you laughing at?"
Tang Hao shook his head, not wanting to tell Bai Yan the truth and ruin his image in her eyes.
"It's nothing! I just remembered something happy!"
"Yan'er, let's hold the wedding ceremony when we return to the clan this time!"
"You don't have any relatives left, so why don't you invite your teacher over and let her witness our happiness?"
Bai Yan frowned. She didn't actually want Tang Hao to see such a stunning beauty as Ah Yin.
But now that she was pregnant, he should take responsibility and not fall for someone else, right?
"Hao, thank you. I will try to contact the teacher! If I can't, then forget it. I'm already very happy."
"No, we must invite her!" Tang Hao said sternly.
Bai Yan was startled by his loud voice. Tang Hao realized he had spoken too harshly and quickly comforted her.
Tang Hao said gently, "Yan'er, a wedding only happens once. Only when your teacher is present can our happiness be considered complete!"
Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hao, you scared me just now."
"I will have the teacher participate in our wedding!" Bai Yan said.
Her spirit had been awakened a second time by Ah Yin, so she could sense that Ah Yin was still alive.
This was the Blue Silver Grass's connection to the Blue Silver Emperor. If Ah Yin died, other Blue Silver Grass soul beasts would also sense it.
Just like how the Blue Silver King stayed in Blue Silver Forest yet always knew whether Ah Yin was alive or dead.
However, Bai Yan did not know where Ah Yin was, and finding her would not be easy.
...
A month later, Bai Yan led Tang Hao on a journey of thousands of miles to find her two junior sisters.
They had been to the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, to Heaven Dou City, and to many other places, but they had no news of their teacher.
"Hao, having our two junior sisters witness our happiness is enough. How about we stop looking?"
Tang Hao shook his head and said, "No, we must find her!"
"But our baby is getting bigger. Won't our long journey be bad for his development?" Bai Yan asked.
"No, we are all Soul Masters; our bodies are not that fragile."
A 100,000-year spirit ring was a rare opportunity—how could he give it up so easily?
Bai Yan couldn't understand why her teacher's presence was so important. She felt that Tang Hao had changed; he didn't seem to love her as much anymore.
"If I had known, I would have preferred to marry the elder brother!" Bai Yan thought to herself.
At the time, both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had pursued her. She chose Tang Hao because Tang Xiao had said that Tang Hao would be the next sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect.
With the protection of the sect leader of one of the upper three sects, she would be able to unleash the devouring ability of her spirit to improve her cultivation.
Now Tang Hao was living a carefree life, while Tang Xiao had returned to the sect and showed signs of taking over.
However, what was done was done, and unless Tang Hao died, she could not remarry.
Thinking of this, the anger in Bai Yan's heart vanished in an instant. After all, she was a fallen Soul Master and was not as weak as she appeared on the surface.
"Hao, I understand, I will find the teacher!" Bai Yan said.
Tang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's continue looking. Think again—where might she appear?"
