Chapter 1279: If He’s My Father, Then My Mother Is…

He could sense the deep affection Tang San had for him from his words.

He attempted to communicate with Old Tang, but there was no response whatsoever. Old Tang and his peculiar spiritual plane had vanished completely.

A father’s love is as high as a mountain. If Tang San was truly his father, then he should really be proud!

As for the history related to Tang San, Tang Wulin was certainly well aware of that. Almost everyone at the academy knew about it. Indeed, everyone had the same image of Tang San whether it was in the Douluo Federation, the Dou Spirit Empire or the Star Luo Empire. He was a legend that no one could replace.

He founded the Tang Sect singlehandedly and passed down the legacy of the precious recordings of their miraculous abilities including the Mysterious Heaven Method, the Purple Demon Eyes, the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, the Mysterious Jade Hands and also the Ghost Perplexing Track. All of it was passed down by him and him alone.

He led a group of soul masters to fight against the highly influential Martial Soul Hall at the time singlehandedly and even managed to achieve Godhood in the end. He fought against the Martial Soul Hall’s Hall Master, who had also achieved Godhood, and emerged the victor.

In that legend, he did not sound like a human being at all. He was like a god among men. Even after the almighty Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao’s appearance in the later ages, it was still very difficult for him to be placed on par with Tang San. There was still some disparity between their levels.

Moreover, Tang San’s words informed Tang Wulin that he still had a sister named Tang Wutong. Why did the name sound a little familiar? Tang Wutong? Tang Wutong? The Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong?

Tang Wulin suddenly sat upright because he remembered the name now. Even though the name was not as famous as the Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San or the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, she was someone who had made her mark in the history of soul masters! This was because she was the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao’s wife. She was also one of the Shrek Seven Monsters of that generation. It was said that the Dragon Butterfly Douluo was even more powerful than the Holy Ice Douluo for a very long period of time.

If this was true…

This signified that his father dominated the continent twenty thousand years ago. His sister and brother-in-law established the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years ago.

He did not wish to express the complicated emotions he had in his heart to his companions. Would anyone believe him even if he were to tell them about this? He was afraid that they would think he was having a mental breakdown.

At this point, Tang Wulin’s lips cracked into a bitter smile involuntarily. The sorrow and pain in his heart finally disappeared at the same time.

If his birth father had reached Godhood, then his foster parents could actually be alive. Was there anything better than that?

As long as he continued becoming more powerful, it would be possible that he would see them return one day. His father said that he would certainly come back with the Divine Realm and return to Tang Wulin’s side. There was also his mother. He wondered what she was like. If his father was Tang San, then his mother should be the Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu, right?

The statues that were once displayed by the shore of the Sea God Lake in Shrek Academy suddenly emerged in his mind. His mother’s statue had been there! She was right beside his father’s.

His could not keep his eyes from welling up when he thought about this.

It had only been a few short days, but it felt just like he had been reborn. Though he did not realize, his entire person was undergoing a transformation. He went from being separated from his parents to losing them, and he then learned about the most mystical secrets on Douluo. In addition to the change to his cultivation base after the Blood Dragon Transformation, he was just like a sloughing serpent that was gradually metamorphosing into a full-fledged dragon.

Li Yunzhe sat at Tang Wulin’s rear. As he looked at the Sect Master sitting quietly in front of him, he felt quite surprised. Tang Wulin did not disguise himself anymore, but he exuded a feeling of nothingness. It was as if Li Yunzhe could see Tang Wulin’s face clearly, but it would then vanish from his memory.

If Li Yunzhe was capable of identifying Tang Wulin’s spiritual power as Spirit Domain earlier, he found that he could no longer tell. He could not ascertain Tang Wulin’s cultivation base either.

His long black hair seemed to be shining and emitting a faint golden glow even without being illuminated. He sat there quietly while the surrounding lighting seemed to be distorting itself for him. Li Yunzhe found it awesome that Tang Wulin appeared as lofty as high mountains and as steady as a hill.

Li Yunzhe was not alone for the rest of the people had also noticed his transformation, especially the other six Shrek Monsters that were most familiar to him. Tang Wulin already seemed untouchable to them after his Blood Dragon Transformation.

The distance between Spirit Wave City and Heaven Dou City was not very far. The journey had only taken just over an hour. In the distance, the thick and wide city wall had already popped into view.

The city wall that had long since lost its significance on the Douluo Continent still existed in the Dou Spirit Empire. The heavy walls gave a strong sense of returning to ancient times when seen from afar. The architectural style could only be seen in the Douluo Continent’s Heaven Dou City. On the other hand, most of those ancient-looking buildings in the Douluo Continent’s Heaven Dou City were damaged due to the attack by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Judging by the look, the Heaven Dou City covered an extensive area before them and it was no smaller than the Douluo Continent’s Heaven Dou City. As the capital of the Dou Spirit Continent, it still appeared to be very imposing.

Cars would need to go through inspection when arriving at the city’s entrance. The vehicles from the Tang Sect went through the inspection more easily. All sorts of access passes were displayed in front of the vehicle’s dashboard. The soldiers in charge of guarding the city took a glance and the car was allowed to pass through soon.

Tang Wulin noticed that Heaven Dou City’s soldiers were well equipped. They were dressed in modern military combat suits and they were supplied with a full line of weapons including soul beam rifles. They did not look that different from the Douluo Continent’s ordinary soldiers.

At this point, Tang Wulin could not help thinking about Long Yuxue’s heavy ion beam. That weapon of hers was truly cutting-edge technology! It was highly lethal whether it was used against mecha or abyssal creatures. Fortunately, the weapon could not be mass-produced yet. Otherwise, there would be fears of the Dou Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire being rendered helpless.

There was a fleet of vehicles from the municipal government that came to receive them when their cars drove into Heaven Dou City. More than ten cars surrounded two soul buses. It looked as though these cars were closing the road, especially for their arrival to ensure a smooth journey. Twenty minutes later, they arrived in front of a palace-like building. There was no doubt that this place was the Dou Spirit Empire’s palace.

A red carpet thirty meters in width stretched all the way from the palace’s main entrance to the car. Guards of honor stood by on both sides. These guards were different from the soldiers policing the city for they were dressed in antique-looking helmets. Their shiny armor reflected the bright sun and they held similarly dated weapons in their hands. If not because of the soul vehicles’ presence that ruined the ambiance, it felt like they had truly returned to the palace in the past.

A middle-aged man with a crown on his head and dressed in a magnificent golden robe stood at the head of the red carpet. Almost a hundred Dou Spirit Empire’s high-ranking officials were standing behind him.

Li Yunzhe led them down from the bus before he moved off to the side and made a respectful invitatory gesture just as Tang Wulin had alighted.

His long black hair draped over his shoulders and his bright eyes shimmered akin to glowing stars. He was dressed in a classical white robe with a mask-like golden pattern on his right chest. A crown that was half bulky and half hollow topped the mask. It was the Tang Sect’s symbol that signified the balance between Yin and Yang and of a king unequaled in his time.

Only the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and Douluo Hall’s Hall Master were allowed to put on the garment with the golden insignia. Tang Wulin was extremely good-looking beforehand and now he appeared even more elegant when complemented by the classical robe.

Xue Yuntian found that his spirit suddenly felt like he was in a trance at the very moment he saw Tang Wulin. He felt as if the man he saw before him was not a man but a great mountain. Tang Wulin had not released a clear aura, but his presence gave Xue Yuntian an otherworldly feeling.

Soul masters never judged one another’s power and age based on their appearance. On the contrary, the more unusual Tang Wulin’s body was, the more Xue Yuntian valued him. He needed a powerful ally!

Xue Yuntian brought along the civil and military officials behind him to welcome them. Li Yunzhe said, “Sect Master, this is His Majesty, the Emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire.”

Tang Wulin nodded gently. “Your Highness, good day. I’m Tang Wulin of the Tang Sect.”

Xue Yuntian stretched out his hand and shook Tang Wulin’s. He smiled and spoke, “I’ve been an admirer of yours for a long time. It’s true that knowing a man by reputation is not as good as meeting him face to face! Your excellency, Sect Master, you look to be quite young, huh?”

Tang Wulin smiled calmly. If a person could tell his real age by his aura and his skeletal age in the past, after the Blood Dragon Transformation, especially after his spiritual domain had awakened, then no one could possibly tell his real age anymore. This was a change brought by the elevation of his transformation.

“Sect Master, this way please.” Xue Yuntian made an invitatory gesture, while the civil and military officials behind him naturally stepped aside to the left and right.

His Majesty was genuinely feeling quite anxious. He did not even bother to conceal or introduce the high-ranking officials of the Dou Spirit Empire. Instead, he immediately walked side by side with Tang Wulin as they walked toward the interior of the palace.
