Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 590: Fusing with the Holy Blaze Saber

"Alright. Let's return to your hotel first." A flash of silver light enveloped them, and they disappeared. When they reappeared, they were in Tang San's room at the White Tiger Hotel.

This precise long-distance teleportation fully demonstrated the Peacock Great Demon King's power, something Mei Gongzi couldn't achieve yet.

Tang San nodded to the Peacock Great Demon King. "Please guard us."

"Alright." The Peacock Great Demon King, having experienced countless situations, had calmed down by now.

Tang San led Mei Gongzi directly into the cultivation room, indicating for her to sit cross-legged opposite him.

Facing each other, Tang San said, "First, calm your mind. We left through teleportation. In terms of manipulating space, not even the Ancestral Court has someone better than your father. So, to those who want to harm us, we have disappeared without a trace. Actually, if we just wanted to save our lives, we could find a Sacred Mountain close to us to depend on. But doing so would mean you could never inherit the position of the Peacock Demon clan leader. To become the leader of the clan, you can't depend on any Emperor, because you are destined to become an Emperor yourself."

Mei Gongzi silently nodded. This was also why she wanted to leave immediately.

"Leaving the Ancestral Court means we might be hunted, but now everyone has lost our trail. They will think we've fled and will pursue us immediately. This time gap works to our advantage. So first, stabilize your mind, and let's make use of these two items."

As he spoke, Tang San took out the enormous amethyst crystal and motioned for Mei Gongzi to take out the Holy Blaze Saber.

Under the influence of Tang San's calm demeanor, Mei Gongzi's anxious mind gradually stabilized. She looked at Tang San and said, "Big Brother, you promised to show me your true face after today's competition. Don't forget."

Tang San replied, "Let's do this first, alright? I don't want my appearance to affect your mood right now."

"Hmm..." Mei Gongzi did not insist at this moment and just nodded silently.

Tang San pointed to the Holy Blaze Saber in front of her and said, "The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's explanations for the divine items were all accurate. This Holy Blaze Saber was indeed the lowest-level among them; it barely qualifies as a divine item. But that’s not relevant. What matters is whether you’re able to use its powers to do something meaningful. Otherwise, even the best divine weapon is nothing but a wall hanger.

"This Holy Blaze Saber is actually the most suitable for you among all those items. It can directly integrate into your sea of consciousness, significantly enhancing your spiritual power while transforming it, allowing you to develop some divine consciousness even before you achieve godhood. Remember the divine item we used to defeat Meng Dede? That is a transcendent divine item, one that you will truly need to master in the future. The other function of the Holy Blaze Saber is to strengthen your connection with that sword, allowing it to come to you faster and enabling you to borrow some of its power.

"With the Holy Blaze Saber guarding your sea of consciousness, it will greatly benefit you when you break through to godhood. This is why I chose it. Although it is not an especially powerful divine item, it is perfectly suitable for you." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Mei Gongzi believed him, but she immediately wanted to ask why Tang San had such an accurate understanding of the Holy Blaze Saber's functions. He couldn’t have seen it before, could he?

But before she could ask, Tang San continued, "Concentrate, use your spiritual power to guide the Holy Blaze Saber, and then drop a tear onto the blade."

A strange expression appeared on Mei Gongzi's pretty face. "A... what? Not blood, but tears? You want me to cry?"

Tang San helplessly said, "Just imagine we are being attacked, I am seriously injured, and I am about to die."

"Don't say that." Mei Gongzi instantly raised her hand to cover Tang San's mouth, but the next moment, her face turned red, and she withdrew her hand.

"I... I really can't cry!" she said with a distressed expression.

Tang San pondered momentarily and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"What?" Mei Gongzi looked at him in surprise.

"Once upon a time, there were a boy and a girl who grew up together, like siblings but without being actual siblings. The boy would comb the girl's long hair, and whenever she was in danger, he would always step forward to protect her. He guarded her every moment as she grew up.

"As they grew older, they gradually realized that their feelings for each other were no longer those between a brother and sister; it was the love between a man and a woman. And as it turned out, the girl was actually an old rabbit demon who had cultivated into human form. To truly become human, she needed a bloodline transformation, which would be complete once she reached a certain level of power. Once that happened, she could be together with the boy.

"They went through many years together, their strength growing continuously, and their love deepening. But the enemies they faced were formidable. Finally, in a confrontation with powerful foes, they were surrounded. At that time, the girl was just one step away from completing her transformation, but the enemies they encountered were too strong, to the point where the boy could no longer hold on.

"At the last moment, the boy sacrificed his life to protect the girl, urging her to escape. But the girl didn't leave. At that moment, she burned her own lifeforce, turning into a part of the boy's body; she completely destroyed her millennia of cultivation to become his strength, sacrificing herself for him.

"At that moment, what was in her mind was the boy's promise to her that anyone who wanted to harm her would have to step over his dead body. Looking at him, the girl thought in her final moments that he had protected her all his life, and now she was willing to use everything she had to protect him. Because he loved her more than life itself, and she loved him no less!"

A crystalline tear formed, silently falling onto the blazing Holy Blaze Saber.

Mei Gongzi opened her mouth, about to say something, when the Holy Blaze Saber in front of her suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire cultivation room with its radiant light.

Amid the dazzling light, Mei Gongzi clearly saw that the eyes of the young man sitting opposite her were also filled with tears.

"Boom—" A surge of scorching warmth instantly rushed into Mei Gongzi's sea of consciousness. At this moment, her heart was filled with emotion.

Tang San's voice came to her ears, "Embrace the source, focus your mind, and remain calm. Hold true to your heart."

The fiery energy surged into her sea of consciousness, making Mei Gongzi feel as if her entire sea of consciousness was burning, boiling, and surging violently. Yet, strangely, there was no pain. Instead, the intense heat brought a comforting sensation, making her sea of consciousness expand rapidly yet feel more stable than ever.

Using tears to bond with a divine item—this was something only Tang San dared to suggest. Not even an Emperor, not even the Master of Destiny himself, could fathom such a method.

Tears are the flow of the soul, the expression of the spirit, the deepest sincerity within.

And as Mei Gongzi's tears were filled with emotion, the Holy Blaze Saber received that same emotion. The tears, imbued with her pure heart and kind nature, carried all the most beautiful aspects of her being.
