Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Using the Fox Tail Relic to stimulate his acupoints to restore his divine consciousness was much faster than slowly converting his spiritual power. And this was before he dared to stimulate the major points.

Enhancing his divine consciousness had immense benefits. For instance, with a strong enough divine consciousness, Tang San could suppress his cultivation order for longer, allowing his energy to become more concentrated, refined, and pure. This was to prepare for the most challenging moment of breaking through to godhood in the future.

The following day, Tang San checked the Crimson Fox girls again. After confirming that they had no problems and their cultivation speed had indeed significantly increased, his tasks in the Golden Valley were complete.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Tang San spread his wings again, leaving the Kali Mountains and flying back towards the Ancestral Court.

His business in the Ancestral Court was far from finished. The Ice Maiden clan's leader still awaited him at the White Tiger Hotel. Although Tang San didn't necessarily have to obtain the Ice Throne artifact, it would be an absolute treasure for Wu Bingji's cultivation. He had to find a way to reach an agreement with the Ice Maiden clan.

It shouldn't be too difficult as long as he could help the Ice Maiden clan solve their pressing issues.

Tang San was in an excellent mood. He had seen Mei Gongzi, and the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint had decided to emerge from seclusion for the God-Slaying Sword. Additionally, the Crimson Fox girls had improved, and Golden Valley's foundation had been greatly strengthened by merging that spiritual essence with the Golden Tree. The potential for future growth was enormous. Once the Golden Tree gained the glory that he well remembered, it would be an absolutely heavenly cultivation aid, greatly benefiting humanity.

This trip to the Ancestral Court had yielded incredibly rich rewards. If it weren't for the invisible pressure brought by that little girl, Crystalline, this trip could be described as perfect.

As for now, the most crucial thing for Tang San was to quickly grow stronger, not only by himself but together with his companions. The greatest challenge he would face next was bound to be the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's return to Kali City.

It was clear that the Peacock Great Demon King would not be able to handle the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor again. In such a situation, finding a solution to help Mei Gongzi ascend to leadership and protecting Kali City became of utmost importance.

Scaring off the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor as he had done last time was not an easy task. Moreover, if the "Sea God" were to appear again, it might attract an investigation from the Ancestral Court's powerful beings, which Tang San did not want to happen. He didn't want to bring trouble to the Endless Blue Sea.

Right now, the most important thing was time—time was tight! If worse came to worst, he would have Mei Gongzi abandon everything in Kali City and take her and her mother to hide in the Golden Valley. Although this was certainly something neither the Redemption Society nor Mei Gongzi would want, if push came to shove, they would have to do it.

They would have to take it one step at a time without sufficient strength, but some things needed to be arranged in advance. At the very least, he had to ensure they could escape when necessary.

As he flew, Tang San planned how to face the coming situation. What would be the best case, and how would he respond? What about the worst case, and how should he deal with it?

After a long flight, he saw the Ancestral Court in the distance, and finally landed. He certainly couldn't fly directly in—that would be suicidal. Thankfully, with his piece of identification showing noble status, he had the right to simply walk into the Ancestral Court.

However, he had given the Crystal Demon Emperor's and Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's tokens to Mei Gongzi and the Sword Saint Demon Emperor's token to the Golden Lion clan. Now, he had nothing to show his protected status, so he had to proceed cautiously.

Tang San needed to visit two places this time: the Sacred Mountains of the two Nymph Emperors that were at the pinnacle of the nymph races.

Since he had never been to the Solstice Empire, his understanding of the nymphs was far less than that of the demons. However, his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul in his previous life was plant-based, so he felt an innate connection to them. The Blue Silver Emperor he had carefully cultivated in this life had grown robustly, but its tier was still insufficient. He hoped that climbing the Sacred Mountains of the Sunborne Nymph Emperor and the Earthshade Nymph Emperor would bring some fortuitous encounters. It would be best if he could also obtain tokens, laying some groundwork for his future.

Walking into the Ancestral Court was much more troublesome than taking a carriage last time, not because it was far or because someone started trouble with him but due to the inspections.

The Aetherhorn Merchant Association's convoy had high-level credentials, so the inspections were not as stringent. Tang San, walking in as a human, faced inspection after inspection, passing through six checkpoints before finally re-entering the Ancestral Court.

Gazing at the towering palaces and the surrounding Ancestral Mountains with their Thrones, Tang San pulled up his hood and quickly headed toward the White Tiger Hotel.

Based on the timing, the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint couple would still take a while to arrive at the Ancestral Court. The Lion-Tiger Sword Saint had noble status, as he had already achieved a hundred victories in the Great Beast Fighting Arena individual battles. However, Little Cat had no such qualifications. Big Cat would probably come to find him for that.

They would take about five to seven days to reach the Ancestral Court with their speed. During this time, he needed to handle all necessary matters swiftly.

Returning to the vicinity of the White Tiger Hotel, Tang San did not immediately return to his room but contacted Zhang Haoxuan first. Within the Ancestral Court, the communicator naturally worked again.

"Master, I’m back."

—Oh, finally. I was really worried when you left. Fortunately, you left early. The Crimson Fox clan has been looking for you everywhere. The Aetherhorn Merchant Association was reliable; they vouched for your identity and didn’t disclose your origins or whereabouts.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Tang San’s mouth. It was no surprise that the Crimson Fox clan was looking for him. The Fox Tail Relics were significant. If they ended up with a clan belonging to the same race, there was still a chance to get them back. But in the hands of outsiders, where would they even start looking? Despite the large sum they received, the loss was still too great for the Crimson Fox clan.

Of course, regardless of how great that loss was, Tang San had no intention of returning the Fox Tail Relics.

"Master, how was the third auction day? Were there any good items?" This was what Tang San was most concerned about. If time allowed, he would’ve liked to stay and see what treasures would be auctioned.

Zhang Haoxuan's voice was filled with admiration. —There were so many good items, and six emperors attended. Very few divine objects in the auction ended up in the hands of actual bidders. It’s more like an interest distribution for those top powerhouses and major clans. Many good items were taken by powerful beings. The last three items though… now those were real divine artifacts!

"What were they?" Tang San asked curiously.

—Well, the first items were also great, there were many natural treasures and the like. Some can even directly transform a person from a mortal into a god, although they’d still need to survive their tribulation. The last three items were two weapons and a shield, all amazing divine items. One of the weapons and the shield were left behind by dead emperors. The other weapon was made by a master blacksmith who spent a long time and vast resources on it. It was originally meant for the Ancestral Court, but since the Ancestral Court couldn’t allocate it properly, it was put up for auction and eventually bought by an emperor."
