Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Strangely enough, once the Bluesilver Emperor, with at most a third level bloodline, emerged, the originally intense temperature of the molten lava noticeably dropped. Although the Bluesilver Emperor was instantly scorched to a charred state, both the temperature of the air and the lava itself showed a significant downward trend. The resistance seemed much easier now.

This Tianyang Spirit King truly had its quirks! By doing this, it was clearly rejecting the Monsters from climbing its Holy Mountain, or perhaps, it was rejecting all powerhouses except those with a plant-based affinity, showing clear favoritism towards them. Tang San had suspected it might be the case, which was why he switched to the Bluesilver Emperor, and sure enough, it really worked.

The intense heat constantly affected the Bluesilver Emperor, causing it to become charred and shrivel up. Tang San had to keep channeling his Mysterious Heaven Skill Energy into it to maintain its defense.

Without rushing to continue climbing, Tang San stood on the second tier step, silently sensing the changes in the Bluesilver Emperor. He wanted to first understand what climbing Mount Tianyang could bring before continuing upward.

Soon, he discovered that once he transformed his bloodline power into that of the Plant-class, the most notable change in the intense fire of Mount Tianyang was that it no longer assaulted him, but instead permeated through. His Bluesilver Emperor quickly became scorching hot, and along with its heat, waves of thermal energy naturally flowed into Tang San\'s body.

But it wasn\'t a heat intended to incinerate his body, rather it resembled the warm energy of baking; his body soaked in this warmth, and Tang San could distinctly feel his blood and energy gradually boiling. During this process, it seemed that impurities within him were being burnt away, while his skin, bones, meridians, and internal organs were all undergoing subtle changes under the roasting heat.

Yang Fire Body Refinement?

Tang San\'s mind stirred.

If it were just a regular Plant-class Sprite Clan member undergoing such Yang Fire Body Refinement, their bloodline should experience a certain degree of purification. But this process was not something just anyone could endure. Despite the change to permeation, the temperature remained extremely high, and a slight misstep could damage their origin. Only two types of attributes might withstand it: one was the extreme cold attribute, which would resist it directly, negating any beneficial effects, and the other was naturally having a fire attribute with high resistance to heat, then one could truly gain some benefits.

No wonder there were so few climbers of Mount Tianyang, the benefits here only seemed to aid those of the Plant-class Sprite Clan with a fire attribute. The Tianyang Spirit King appeared to have a special preference for Sprite Clan members with this attribute. It was no surprise, after all, as he couldn\'t sire descendants himself; he was likely searching for his successor through such means.

Understanding this, Tang San also grasped his intentions. With a slight smile, he acknowledged that although his Bluesilver Emperor wasn\'t of the fire attribute, it had already integrated various plant characteristics, especially in terms of toughness. His Mysterious Heaven Method was balanced and neutral; as long as the incoming fire attribute wasn\'t extremely tyrannical, seeking to destroy him, he had the opportunity to slowly dissolve it.

Merely permeation, right? One of Tang San\'s bigger concerns had been the strength of his body. While the great life force of the Golden Tree, along with enhancements from abilities like the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, had already made him much stronger than before, his physique still struggled to withstand the power of his divine consciousness from his previous life. Like when he used the Big Xumi Hammer before, it brought him a great burden and was impossible to perform again in a short period.

And now, the benefit of climbing Mount Tianyang was body refinement; indeed, it couldn\'t be more perfect.

In his past life, Tang San achieved a significant enhancement of his physical strength at a treasured land known as the Icefire Polarized Eyes, where he was tempered by the extreme waters of ice and fire, resulting in a substantial improvement in his physical condition, and ultimately, he was able to cultivate into a God. The blazing bloodline energy of the Tianyang Spirit King he faced now was even more effective than the Blazing Spring from that time. After all, the energy intensity of this plane was greater than that of his previous world.

As he absorbed the heat, he silently soaked his body, using the Mysterious Heaven Method to dissolve it. Although the heat soon turned Tang San\'s skin as red as a boiled shrimp, as the heat soaked into his body and was adjusted by the Mysterious Heaven Method, there was no retention of fire poison, but there was a body tempering effect. This tempering soak helped to heal some of the hidden injuries left from his use of the Big Xumi Hammer, feeling like dissipating bruises. The operation of the Mysterious Heaven Method also became more fluid. Of course, this would consume a lot of energy, but he now had a soul core in his body, and his recovery ability was extremely fast. With the dense spirituality of heaven and earth here, there wouldn\'t be any problems in the short term.

Tang San was not in a hurry to climb upward at all, maintaining this state was very good. By nourishing his body with fire, he could continuously temper himself, which was equivalent to tempering his Bluesilver Emperor as well.

From noon to evening, time passed quickly. Even the ticket collector noticed this somewhat strange fellow. Tang San was undoubtedly the lowest climber, with only two steps, but many climbers who came before him, and even those who came after him, had already left, yet he was still standing there. He was definitely the one who persisted the longest in that place.

It wasn\'t until night fell that he showed no signs of leaving. The staff member had been working here for a long time, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

It wasn\'t until midnight that Tang San let out a breath and slowly stepped down from the platform.

Instantly, white mist steamed around his body, with a large amount of heat radiating outwards, as his clothes had already been baked to the point where they could barely hold up.

Tang San took out a robe to cover himself, thus avoiding exposing his body.

The redness on his skin lingered for a long time, and he constantly felt a sore and itchy sensation in his bones, meridians, and internal organs. This feeling was really uncomfortable, but Tang San had a look of contentment on his face. He knew this was the result of his body being tempered by the Yang Fire and becoming stronger.

That\'s great! Such intensive tempering was just right for him. If time allowed, he could stay here for three days and three nights. No need for more, with a year or half a year of tempering, he could elevate his physical constitution to a divine-ranked level, with a resilience strong enough to easily wield the Big Xumi Hammer.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and he had to participate in a competition later, and he had to go to another place, so he naturally couldn\'t continue cultivating here. That would have to wait until later.

The coachman was very committed to his job. Although it was very late, he was still waiting outside. Tang San gave him extra money for the carriage, asking him to take him back to the hotel and agreeing to set off again at noon.

Back at the hotel, he went straight into the training room to meditate.

The redness on the surface of his skin had mostly faded, but the intense heat inside his bones persisted. Tang San kept rotating the Mysterious Heaven Method to absorb this heat, while also checking the changes in his body\'s strength after the intense refinement.
