Chapter 421: Tang Yuan Awakens
When he had captured Kong Miaoyin back then, Zhao Mu had interrogated her about some matters.
Regarding the Nine Phoenix Heavenly Pearl that she had taken from the Devil Sect's treasury, Zhao Mu had naturally paid special attention to it.
But unfortunately, Kong Miaoyin herself was not clear about the secret of the Nine Phoenix Heavenly Pearl.
It was one of the missions that the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Dao Sect had conveyed to her through the Azure Dragon Sovereign.
There were many similar missions, so Kong Miaoyin did not take it to heart. After obtaining the Nine Phoenix Heavenly Pearl, she handed it to the Azure Dragon Sovereign, who handed it over to the Ghost Dao Sect.
The relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Ghost Dao Sect was not shallow. Zhao Mu had long known about this, so he had always been wary of the Dragon Clan and did not have much contact with them.
Looking at the Nine Beast Heavenly Pearl in his hand, Zhao Mu fell into deep thought.
From the appearance of the beast, Zhao Mu could not tell what kind of beast it was.
Perhaps his father-in-law would know more details.
Zhao Mu glanced at Tang Qing.
Tang Qing immediately understood and opened his spatial artifact, releasing an ice coffin.
Inside the ice coffin was Tang Yuan's corpse.
Only an extremely weak life aura was left.
If not for Sword God Qu Liu's protection and the use of many precious herbs to keep him alive, Tang Yuan would not have been able to hold on until now.
Zhao Mu waved his hand and opened the ice coffin, at the same time injecting the Law of Life into Tang Yuan's body.
With the appearance of a surging life aura, Tang Yuan's body was like rain after a long drought. His vitality surged, and even his originally pale skin regained some color.
"Is this the power of Law?" Tang Qing exclaimed.
Not long after, Tang Yuan's body aura stabilized.
Although it was impossible for him to recover to his peak, under the healing of the Law of Life, his body had already returned to a normal and healthy state. As long as his soul returned to its original position, he would naturally wake up.
There was no need to think about a complete soul.
But even if it was only a remnant soul, waking up should not be a problem.
Zhao Mu held the Heavenly Pearl in his hand and used the power of the formation to force out the remnant soul hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Pearl.
The remnant soul was very weak. Just a slight touch with ordinary methods could cause this remnant soul to completely disappear.
However, this was a piece of cake for Zhao Mu, who was an Array Grandmaster.
A moment later, the Remnant Soul was completely separated. Zhao Mu wrapped the Remnant Soul with the Laws of Life and fused it back into Tang Yuan's body.
"It's done. Your father should wake up soon," Zhao Mu said.
Tang Qing, who was standing at the side, could feel his father's rising vitality. His eyes couldn't help but turn red as tears streamed down his face.
"Father!"
Zhao Mu suddenly heard a weak child's voice from Tang Qing's body.
He couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was Tang Qing's childhood, Little Candy!
Strange, wasn't Little Candy's consciousness assimilated by Tang Qing? How could he hear her soul cry?
Zhao Mu instinctively activated his Ten Thousand Immortal Eyes and looked at Tang Qing's back.
"Interesting. This Little Demon King of Chaos won't disappear so easily."
Zhao Mu could see the gist of it at a glance.
Back then, Tang Qing had fused with Little Candy's consciousness and personality. Perhaps it was because of his heartache that he left Little Candy with a chance of survival. He only fused with the Soul Power but kept Little Candy's personality.
After that, Tang Qing had been nurturing Little Candy's personality, allowing her to gradually grow as an independent individual.
However, Tang Qing had been hiding this from Zhao Mu. He wanted to wait for Little Candy's personality to fully mature and create a new physical vessel for her. Then, he would tell Zhao Mu to give him a surprise.
Unfortunately, Zhao Mu's eyes were too strong. Before the surprise came, Zhao Mu had seen through it in advance.
Hmm … Forget it, I'll just pretend that I don't know anything.
Anyway, Little Candy's personality was still unstable, so she needed to stay in Tang Qing's body for a while.
While Tang Qing was taking care of Tang Yuan, Zhao Mu took the time to carefully inspect the island.
Although he didn't find anything valuable, Zhao Mu still found some clues with his Ten Thousand Immortal Eyes.
There was a very obscure aura left on the island.
The aura of the Sly Path!
The Sly Path's aura was everywhere on the Immortal Martial Continent, which was covered by the Sly Path's barrier.
However, it was still very unusual for the aura of the Sly Path to appear in such a specific place.
This could only mean one thing. Back then, someone in the Ze Tian Sect had tried to break through the Sly Path's barrier, which led to the suppression of the Sly Path.
And it wasn't just one person!
Zhao Mu suspected that other than Tang Yuan, there were others in the Ze Tian Sect who had also tried to break through the Sly Path's barrier.
As for the result …
Looking at the ruins on the ground, the result was self-evident.
In the face of the general trend, an individual's strength was ultimately a drop in the bucket. It couldn't change anything.
However, the era needed these warriors.
Without them challenging the strong, the world would remain the same.
Although Zhao Mu didn't know what had happened in the Ze Tian Sect back then, he couldn't help but pour three large bowls of wine to pay tribute to the souls who had passed away here.
He looked up at the sky. In a place invisible to the naked eye, a hazy barrier was constantly shrinking toward the Immortal Martial Continent.
It wouldn't be long before this barrier passed the moon.
How much time was left for the people of the world?
"Father, you're awake!"
At this moment, Tang Qing's voice was heard.
Zhao Mu immediately teleported over and saw Tang Yuan sitting up in the ice coffin with a blank expression.
However, no matter how Tang Qing called out, Tang Yuan didn't respond at all. It was as if he was in a daze.
"Father didn't become an idiot, did he?" Tang Qing said uneasily.
Zhao Mu went forward to check and said, "No, it's just that the fusion of the remnant soul hasn't gone so smoothly. After a while, the old sect master should gradually regain consciousness."
"That's good."
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Mu took out an exquisite two-story building from his storage ring and cast a defensive formation on it.
"Old Sect Master has just woken up and needs some time to recover. Stay here and take care of him for a while."
As he spoke, Zhao Mu took out a few more bottles of pills and stuffed them into Tang Qing's hands.
They were all top-notch medicinal pills for consolidating one's foundation. They were refined from the divine herbs cultivated in the Divine Soil Space. Although they could not restore Tang Yuan's strength to the peak of the Crossing Tribulation Realm, it should not be a problem for him to restore twenty to thirty percent of his strength.
"Where are you going?" Tang Qing asked doubtfully. Looking at Zhao Mu's posture, it seemed that she did not intend to stay here.
"There are few people in the South Sea. I can sense the aura fluctuations of several large spirit veins in the depths of the sea. Since I'm here, I can't let them go. Although I can't take the spirit veins back, I can at least take some treasures with me."
Whether it should be said or not, Zhao Mu was very ambitious.
Tang Qing knew that Zhao Mu was also contributing to the construction of the Devil Sect, so he naturally wouldn't stop her. He only reminded her to be careful.
The South Sea was not like the inland. Information was scarce, and the environment was complicated and changeable. No one knew what was in the sea.
"I'll be careful. Take care of the old sect master and rest well. I'll be back in a few days."
With that, Zhao Mu stepped into the void and disappeared.
