Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 166: The Sixth Imprint-Blue Silver Emperor

Chapter 166: The Sixth Imprint, Blue Silver Emperor

The transparent protective shield was embedded with a defensive array, which posed no challenge to Tang San. He easily broke through the array and cautiously lifted the cover.

As soon as he lifted the cover, a sudden change occurred. The purple-black vine inside, which had appeared lifeless, suddenly sprung out like lightning, its sharp spikes hurtling directly toward Tang San’s face.

Yet Tang San remained calm and prepared. He grasped the vine with a lightning-fast motion of his right hand, unafraid of the sharp spikes.

The spikes couldn’t penetrate his jade-like palm. With a glint in his eyes, Tang San activated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, forcibly absorbing the energy within the thorny vine.

The vine struggled violently but couldn’t escape the grip of Tang San’s Mysterious Jade Hands. Just as Tang San had expected, like the bloodline energy of demonic beasts, the energy of plants could also be devoured and absorbed by the Mysterious Heaven Technique. It was clear that the devouring trait acquired by the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique upon arriving in this world was absolute.

Restless plant energy flowed into Tang San, gradually forming a new bloodline imprint within him.

To Tang San’s surprise, the plant-based bloodline imprint was much purer than that of demonic beasts. Perhaps this was because the plant was a natural treasure, directly nurtured by the pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth. In any case, the imprint was exceptionally clear and translucent rather than opaque.

The vine began to wilt, and Tang San stopped absorbing its energy. He then carefully placed it back under the protective cover.

He had absorbed around one-third of its energy, and the imprint he had developed was around the third order. Moreover, pure plant-based life energy was now a part of his energy vortex, and it was slowly absorbed as he cultivated.

Indeed, this was Tang San’s intention. By absorbing the energy of treasure plants, he aimed to form plant-based bloodline imprints and integrate them into his Green Jade Vine, thereby enhancing the power of this sixth bloodline imprint. At the same time, once partially absorbed, the energy contained in these treasure plants would make his cultivation more efficient and nourish his body, making it easier for him to withstand the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. This was more beneficial for his cultivation right now than absorbing energy from demons or demonic beasts.

It was just a preliminary trial, but it appeared that his judgment was entirely correct. Absorbing the energy of plants was the right way to go.

With so many treasure plants here, as long as Tang San didn’t completely deplete them, their inherent properties would naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the air to replenish themselves. This vault was abundant in elemental forces, thanks to all the plants in it, so that was no problem. The slightly wilted plants wouldn’t make any noise or raise suspicion. Thus, this place could become a cultivation paradise for Tang San, rapidly enhancing his strength.

Not rushing to integrate the imprint immediately, he chose another plant that looked like a vine and was around the fifth order.

Absorbing higher-order imprints was not necessarily better. Tang San needed to maintain the original form of his Green Jade Vine and not change it rashly. With his experience from his previous life, he could make a very educated judgment about what kind of bloodline imprints to devour and integrate. These imprints needed to have beneficial attributes, and at the same time, he had to slowly increase the energy he absorbed rather than taking in a lot of it at once. Devouring something too powerful could cause the Green Jade Vine to collapse or be absorbed into another imprint, which was not the desired outcome.

With Tang San’s sixth-order cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, after continuously absorbing the energy of five plants, each between the fifth and sixth orders, his dantian was filled to the brim. This was just about right.

After making sure that everything in the vault was exactly the way he had found it, Tang San cautiously exited and closed the door.

With some time remaining before the next patrol, he found a hidden corner to sit down. He activated the Mysterious Heaven Technique to absorb the life energies he had just integrated into his body.

Absorbing these pure life energies through his energy vortex was much easier than absorbing the mixed energies of demon bloodlines. His body, nourished by the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, felt warm and comfortable, and he felt the indescribably gentle energy spreading throughout his meridians. His cultivation level rapidly increased, surpassing the progress of ten days or half a month of normal cultivation. And this was even before he integrated the bloodline imprints.

Tang San did not intend to integrate the five plant-based bloodline imprints he had just absorbed here, mainly because he feared not controlling them well and exposing his aura. He was also concerned that any physical anomalies during the integration process might affect his sharpness when leaving.

When the four-hour patrol period ended, Tang San had almost completely absorbed the life energy. The vast life energy converged within him, allowing his cultivation to take another firm step within the sixth order.

Taking advantage of the patrol, Tang San quietly slipped out. It was still dark, but dawn was not far off. He returned the way he had come, climbing over the wall.

When Tang San returned to the Redemption Society, the sky gradually brightened, and dawn was approaching. However, he didn’t rest. After all, time waited for no one. He decided to rest and cultivate leisurely as he swept the ground at Kali Academy.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began integrating the imprints.

Since he only devoured a portion of the energy from each plant, the orders of the imprints formed inside him were not very high, all around the third order, with the highest just barely reaching the fourth order.

Such order imprints were most suitable for Tang San to devour, given that the order of his Green Jade Vine was quite low.

The first to be devoured was the thorny vine. The moment the third-order imprint merged with the first-order Green Jade Vine, the two imprints began to clash. The Green Jade Vine, being somewhat weaker, was eventually overtaken by the thorny vine, resulting in their fusion.

Controlling a third-order fusion with Tang San’s current cultivation level was effortless. Soon, his sixth bloodline imprint reached the third order, and then he proceeded to the next one.

Fusing third-order with third-order was easier, and the process was swift. As he integrated the five imprints one by one, his sixth bloodline imprint reached the fourth order.

The sky outside brightened further. The fusion process went smoothly, mainly because the imprints were of the same plant type, so they found it easier to accept each other.

There was a flash of light in Tang San’s eyes, and with a flick of his right hand, a blue-purple vine sprouted from the palm of his hand, adorned with delicate black patterns, instantly spreading outward.

The thorny vine, about as thick as a baby’s arm and incredibly resilient, extended about twenty meters before Tang San found it could stretch no further.

With a thought, spikes emerged from the vine. When he channeled his energy into it, the twenty-meter-long vine stiffened instantly, like a giant spear.

He waved his right hand, and vines rapidly emerged, intertwining in the air to form a large net. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏(.)com

A hint of satisfied reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

In his previous life, his primary martial spirit was the Blue Silver Grass, and now he could essentially replicate some of its abilities thanks to this vine. Although there were differences in strength and a number of specific characteristics, they were quite similar overall.

Before evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul used to have four abilities: Bind, Parasite, Spider Web Restraint, and Blue Silver Prison.

Right now, Tang San could use three of them, and while he couldn’t fully use Parasite, he would eventually be able to do that. In other words, he had recovered three quarters of his previous life’s Blue Silver Grass spirit ring abilities, and he was well on his way to recover more.

This was the existence Tang San was most familiar with! Familiarity meant better control and greater practicality.

As dawn arrived, there was a knock on Tang San’s door.

“Are you not up yet? Time for cultivation,” Du Bai’s voice called out.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San’s mouth. A new day, a fresh start—it was truly wonderful.

His sixth bloodline imprint would advance to the sixth order in the following days. This imprint, naturally, would be called the Blue Silver Emperor.

And one day, the Blue Silver Emperor would return to its former glory.
