Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 850: You Scoundrel

Golden light flickered in Tang San's hand, and the Sea God's Trident appeared out of thin air. Although this wasn't the Endless Blue Sea, and Tang San didn't have its support, Huo Ling'er was only at the tenth order.

Rings of golden light radiated out, wrapping tightly around Huo Ling'er.

As Huo Ling'er struggled hard, the pink hue of her skin deepened. "You like tying people up? You bad guy."

"I..." Tang San felt that no explanation could clear this up, so he shook his head and stopped bothering. He walked up to Huo Ling'er, raised the Sea God's Trident, and the Vast Sea Crystal embedded in the trident shone with azure light.

Tang San pressed the Vast Sea Crystal against Huo Ling'er's forehead. The gentle power of the Sea God turned into a cool stream, flowing into her brow.

Huo Ling'er shivered, and the cool stream instantly flowed down from her forehead to the rest of her body.

Her mind cleared up considerably, but even in her clarity, she still felt a sense of shame and annoyance. As the princess of the Firedawn clan, how could she be rejected like this?

"Focus your energy and guide the divine energy into you," Tang San said in a low voice, snapping Huo Ling'er out of her resentment. She was surprised to discover that the cool stream flowing into her body did not stop her bloodline power from boiling; on the contrary, it further ignited it. However, this burning was slow and controlled, and most importantly, the cool sensation was also nourishing her divine consciousness.

Though she felt some frustration, she understood that what Tang San was doing was clearly beneficial for her. She thus pulled herself together and started to take control, drawing in this nourishing energy.

Tang San felt rather helpless about her attitude, but he had no fault in this and neither could he do anything about it. He turned and glanced at the Fire God's Scepter, which was not far away, and light flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the divine artifact flew toward him.

Just as Huo Quan had said, to activate the power of the Fire God's Scepter, the bloodline power of the clan leader was necessary. At this moment, Tang San was using his own power to help Huo Ling'er stimulate her bloodline and elevate her cultivation, and the two of them were practically connected.

The Scorching King's plan had been to use the natural connection between a man and a woman to harness Huo Ling'er's bloodline power and connect to the scepter, but Tang San was using his life-bound divine artifact to do that instead.

The Fire God's Scepter, awakened by Tang San's aura and the harmonious relationship established between them thanks to the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, naturally began to radiate its own aura.

Tang San's divine energy flowed, circling around the Fire God's Scepter, stabilizing its power. At the same time, Tang San himself was also nourished by the Fire God's divinity, causing his divine consciousness to become even more refined while also stimulating the evolution of his Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline. Even the Rainbow Skyfire Liquid was subtly influenced by the Fire God's Scepter, beginning to undergo some imperceptible changes.

At this moment, Tang San and Huo Ling'er stood face to face; he held the Sea God's Trident in one hand, pressing it against Huo Ling'er's forehead, and the Fire God's Scepter in his other hand, connecting to its divinity. It was a rather strange posture.

An hour later, Huo Quan also returned to the underground hall, and he couldn't help but be startled by the scene before him. He had already tacitly approved of the relationship between Huo Ling'er and Tang San. The latter's powerful divinity and true divine seat were immensely attractive to the Firedawn clan. Seeing Tang San and Huo Ling'er standing in this manner startled him at first, but then he quickly sensed the energy of the Fire God's Scepter—it was actually increasing! And Huo Ling'er also seemed to be improving!

Huo Quan didn't act recklessly and try to interfere. Instead, he carefully observed the energy exchange between them and gradually understood what Tang San was doing. This man was genuinely helping the Firedawn clan, and he was doing so at great personal cost!

A sense of gratitude began to rise in Huo Quan's heart.

To him, the pure fire energy that Tang San was drawing from the Fire God's Scepter was nothing but a drop in the ocean. The Firedawn clan lacked everything but fire energy. By contrast, what Tang San brought to the clan was something entirely different.

Huo Ling'er was already the top genius of the Firedawn clan, but after reaching the tenth order, she could only improve through slow and steady accumulation. Now, Huo Quan noticed that both Huo Ling'er's divine consciousness and cultivation were advancing rapidly. This would undoubtedly save her a great deal of time in her cultivation. Moreover, Tang San's power contained divinity, and his Sea God power was subtly helping Huo Ling'er form a spark of divine brilliance in her sea of consciousness. This would be immensely helpful for her in the future, when she became the official wielder of the Fire God's Scepter.

Tang San had previously mentioned that he had a way to resolve the issue of the Fire God's Scepter's divinity dissipating, and this seemed to be the way he had in mind. As long as Huo Ling'er possessed a spark of divinity, the interaction between her and the Fire God's Scepter's divinity would allow them to replenish one another, practically preventing them from dissipating.

By now, Huo Ling'er's previous frustration had long faded, replaced by pure joy—an intense joy that came from her body and spirit alike.

The Firedawn clan had one of the most intense and extreme fire-attribute bloodlines, much like the Scorching Sunflowers. This was why they experienced bloodline power eruptions every year. Meanwhile, although Tang San's Sea God power wasn't purely water-elemental, it could fully manifest water's gentleness. A water-attribute bloodline might have clashed with her fire-attribute one, but this did not hold true on the level of divine consciousness. Instead, his divine consciousness was like a cool stream soothing and nurturing her fiery spirit, and this allowed her bloodline power to be brought under control.

Huo Ling'er had never experienced such a pleasant sensation in her entire life. At this moment, her entire body felt soft and limp, bound by indescribable relaxation. She was quivering slightly, and the pleasure was so intense that it felt as if her entire being was ascending to heaven.

Tang San had long seen the flaw of the Firedawn clan's power. Without a true god to take control of the clan's faith energy and use a divine blessing to regulate their bloodline power in exchange, Firedawns' power was simply too intense for them to control. This caused instability in their divine consciousness as well, and only by relying on the Fire God's Scepter could they hope to break through to the eleventh order. Otherwise, they would remain stuck at the tenth order; not only that, but they would also have shorter lifespans compared to normal tenth-order beings.

What Tang San was doing for Huo Ling'er now was essentially balancing the properties of her divine consciousness, which in turn impacted her body. Moreover, the energy he infused into her also contained a minute trace of chaos energy.

Tang San had achieved the fusion of ultimate yin and yang, and his understanding of these principles was beyond that of any other being in this plane. His Chaos Blue Silver Emperor had already ascended to the eleventh order, and it was the perfect tool to help adjust Huo Ling'er's pure yang power.

She wouldn't break through immediately, but thanks to Tang San's help, even without the Fire God's Scepter, she would eventually break through to the eleventh order smoothly and effortlessly. Moreover, her lifespan would be greatly extended.

Unfortunately, Tang San's chaos energy was limited, so he had no way to repeat this treatment for every single Firedawn. To truly solve the clan's fundamental problem, they would need a true Fire God.

The process lasted for a full three hours, and by the time it ended, Huo Ling'er had already collapsed on the ground, fast asleep. The Fire God's Scepter floated above her, emitting a soft glow that subtly harmonized with her aura. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Tang San sat cross-legged in front of her, silently meditating to recover his energy. At the same time, he absorbed the pure fire energy of the Fire God's Scepter to enhance his Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline and further nurture his Chaos Blue Silver Emperor.

Huo Quan personally stood guard at the door. He seemed calm on the outside, but his emotions could hardly be more feverish. After three hours, the divinity of the Fire God's Scepter had not only stabilized but increased, and by an entire thirty percent! This was unprecedented in the history of the Firedawn clan!

The clan leader now truly admired and respected Tang San from the bottom of his heart.
