Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The drawback of this divine tool was that while it certainly could brand abilities, with each of its pages capable of doing so, the abilities it branded could only be executed using power of the same level. In other words, if you branded an ability of the Demon King level, you would need the Bloodline Power of the Demon King Level to activate it. Comparatively speaking, its functionality was ample, but it didn't significantly enhance combat power. Moreover, the power of the activated branded abilities was only eighty percent as potent as the original version.

Thus, it was indeed a divine tool, but it couldn't be considered a particularly powerful one.

The reason Tang San chose it was because of its composition; such branding capabilities were quite rare, and most importantly, its material held great potential for development.

After carefully perceiving the Heavenly Mechanism Feather yesterday, Tang San had an idea. He wanted to better apply the power of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather without suffering its backlash, which the Heavenly Mechanism Feather by itself couldn't achieve. For that, he needed to combine it with other powers, such as this book!

Moreover, Tang San was considering how to endow ordinary humans with powers, to provide them with the opportunity to cultivate and improve themselves without having to intermarry with the Monsters or Spirit Monsters. When he saw this book, he also had some ideas. Therefore, he needed to use it as a foundation for his research.

The book had a total of twelve pages. Tang San didn't use its branding ability. Instead, he carefully disassembled it. He used the Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid to melt its binding and took the divine tool apart.

To dismantle a divine tool for research was probably a first on the Demon Monster Land. Tang San didn't mind at all; as the saying goes, destruction comes before construction. In his previous life, he was a Grandmaster Blacksmith and also a First-Generation God King. It would not be difficult for him to create a divine tool of this level if he could break through to God Rank, especially in this plane with its numerous heavenly treasures.

Time spent researching always flies by. When Pretty Girl teleported over the next day, Tang San was still deeply engaged in his research.

Seeing the scattered pages on the ground, Pretty Girl couldn't help but express her surprise, "You took apart that divine tool book?"

Upon her arrival, Tang San smiled and said, "Yes! I've had some insights and ideas related to your Heavenly Mechanism Feather and also related to the future of our human race. Maybe I might really succeed. If I do, then our humans will truly have hope."

Pretty Girl approached him and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Tang San replied, "It's still too early to say, further research is needed. But, I've got some ideas. Right now, I'm just laying the foundation. If it can truly be accomplished, it will have to wait until my Cultivation base has ascended to God Rank."

Pretty Girl said, "You should focus on cultivating yourself first. We can talk about these research matters later. Since becoming a God is so difficult for you, you must be fully prepared. Can I help you when the time comes?"

Tang San shook his head, "You can't help. If I face the Tribulation, I have to do it alone." He would have to confront the planar power in his Tribulation, and the entire plane would rally against him. That was something other forces simply couldn't interfere with.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Pretty Girl said, "I've raised the price to search for the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron. The entire continent is on the lookout. We should be able to find more quite soon."

Tang San responded, "Good, start your Cultivation. I'll continue to delve into this a bit more and sort out my thoughts."

"Okay."

Pretty Girl didn't say much else and went under the Golden Tree to continue her meditation and Cultivation. Tang San, on the other hand, persisted with his research.

With the nourishment of life force, even without actively engaging in meditation, Tang San's Golden Body Variation subtly and gradually improved the various other Bloodline Brands. Now, only the Heavenly Fox Transformation Brand reached the Ninth Stage and couldn't advance further, and the Bluesilver Emperor Brand required a deeper foundation. The state of the other brands was very good, all at the Ninth Stage peak or on their way there.

Tang San's research had lasted a full month. During this time, he could even be described as having forgotten to sleep and eat, with Pretty Girl frequently sensing dramatic fluctuations in his spiritual energy and the erratic energies he would stir up. She often saw him attempting to construct some especially complex magic arrays with various materials.

In one month, Tang San had also fused three batches of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron. It had to be said that the largest trade caravan of the Tianyu Empire was incredibly powerful at acquiring whatever was needed, His stock of Seven-Colored Heavenly Flame Liquid was now more than ten times what it had initially been, and the manufacturing speed of the Time-space marker kept on increasing.

"You're here?" The once again visit from Pretty Girl brought a smile to Tang San's face.

Pretty Girl looked at his somewhat disheveled blue hair and said, "Let me comb your hair for you, and you take a break. You can't keep going without proper rest."

Tang San laughed and said, "It's okay. I've basically figured out the principles. I won't continue the research from today onwards. Next, I'm going to start constructing an Ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array. Now the Time-space marker can basically meet our needs. After you go back today, help me prepare a list of items. I've got the list ready for you." As he spoke, he handed Pretty Girl a list detailing over a hundred kinds of various metals and gemstones.

Pretty Girl merely glanced at the list before putting it away and said, "I will get them for you as soon as possible. To what place can the Ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array send us?"

Tang San's mouth curved slightly as he said, "Theoretically, given enough energy, we could teleport directly to the Ancestral Court from here without a problem. However, our current cultivation base isn't sufficient. The consumption required to activate such a teleportation is too great. I plan to use about two transfers, which should allow us to teleport to the Ancestral Court."

"Two transfers to the Ancestral Court? Wouldn't that be really fast?" Pretty Girl said in surprise.

Tang San nodded and said, "If we take turns activating it, theoretically it should take about an hour. We'll need to recover our bloodline power once in the middle of the process. You are at God Rank now, you recover faster. So I reckon it should take about an hour to get from here to the Ancestral Court."

After listening to him, Pretty Girl couldn't help but take a deep breath. As the Jiali City Lord, she had encountered and learned about more and more things over the past two-plus months, which allowed her to understand what such teleportation meant.

"How many Elemental Coins' worth of resources will each teleportation consume?" Pretty Girl asked.

Tang San said, "It depends on the volume and quality of what's being teleported. Generally, if it's just the two of us, it would consume resources worth about five hundred Elemental Coins. So, it's difficult to use it for business. If it's a one-time direct teleportation to the Ancestral Court, it might even consume resources worth up to two thousand Elemental Coins."

Pretty Girl's eyes shone. It did sound like a tremendous expense, but when compared to ultra-long-distance teleportation, instantly arriving at the Ancestral Court, what was that expense, really? This was a power only they possessed! The timeliness of some things simply cannot be quantified by money.

Seeing her excited expression, Tang San smiled and said, "If I achieve God Rank later and set up the Teleportation Arrays in advance. With the help of the Time-space marker, we could teleport almost without consuming resources. Then, our teleportation would truly be formidable. Even large-scale teleportation would be trivial."

Pretty Girl took a deep breath, "But don't rush, make sure you're fully prepared before you attempt the Tribulation."

She had heard him talk many times about how important his Tribulation was and what becoming a God would bring. But the more he said, the more she understood how dangerous his Tribulation would be.

The memory of the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolate Golden Devastation Tribulation she faced during her own Tribulation had left an indelible impression on her. If it was even stronger than that, how terrifying would that be?

"I will, I'll be extremely careful for your sake. By the way, make your preparations, and explain to the princess. Once the Teleportation Array here passes the test, I want to take you to the Ancestral Court. Some things need to be prepared in advance."
