Chapter 334: Xiao Gang and Tang Hao's Butterfly Swim in the Dung Pit.
Indeed, what Poseidon didn't know was that Tang Chen had been by Qian Xunji's side since Qian Xunji returned yesterday.
Tang Chen had witnessed the farce between the Sea God and Poseidon, how diligently Poseidon served Qian Xunji for the Sea God's throne, and the answer Poseidon had just given Qian Xunji.
This scene deeply wounded Tang Chen's fragile heart.
He was angry, sad, and resentful.
This was why Qian Xunji dared to expose the Sea God's identity to Poseidon.
He had two plans, A and B, to manipulate Poseidon.
Plan A was to use the Sea God's throne to tempt Poseidon, making her submit to him and engage in sexual intercourse in front of Tang Chen.
If Plan A didn't work, and Poseidon still harbored feelings for Tang Chen and wanted to die for him, then Plan B would come into play.
Plan B involved Qian Xunji showing Poseidon Tang Chen's spirit, then—
"Madam, you wouldn't want Tang Chen's soul to be completely scattered, would you?"
However, it was clear that Poseidon wasn't the brainless, love-struck Bibi Dong of the past, nor the current Liu Erlong. A pragmatic woman, having lost her faith in the Sea God, wouldn't refuse the temptation of a Sea God's position.
Plan A could only exploit Tang Chen's emotions, but Plan B could exploit both Tang Chen and Poseidon's emotions in turn.
Qian Xunji favored Plan B, but unfortunately, Poseidon wasn't interested, so she tearfully chose Plan A, working tirelessly with Tang Chen's Xixi day and night to weave pearl-emerald green hats for him.
"Tomorrow, Tang San will also become a god, and then—"
The next day, the doors of the Asura Temple opened, and Tang San walked out, feeling deeply humiliated.
He hated the Asura God.
That damned Asura God, how dare he make me, how dare he make me help so many rabbits push and pull?
"Damn it, you've already chosen your own death!"
Tang San was filled with resentment!However, the only thing that made Tang San happy was that he had finally inherited the Asura God position.
Two lifetimes had passed. In his previous life, when he became a god, he was one with two gods, slaying Rakshasa, forcing the Angel God to fall, and laying the groundwork for a ten-thousand-year grand scheme. How glorious he was! Now, he had finally returned to the position he belonged to.
This time, he didn't have the Sea God position, but it didn't matter. He could finally take revenge on the Spirit Hall.
After leaving the temple, Tang San received a letter left by Tang Hao.
"Tang San, I congratulate you in advance on your ascension to the Asura God position. I have already taken the Avengers Legion to the Clear Sky Sect. If you leave the Asura God Temple, come to the Clear Sky Sect to find me."
Upon seeing this letter, Tang San immediately used his Asura God power to go to the Clear Sky Sect.
The Asura God Tang San descended upon the Clear Sky Sect.
At this time, the Clear Sky Sect was preparing to welcome various forces to meet with them. Tang San's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.
Tang Hao looked at Tang San, who was clad in blood-red armor, a Shura God Sword at his waist, and whose black hair had been dyed silver and blood-red.
A murderous intent surged around Tang San, the Shura God's power drawing upon Tang Hao's own offerings.
"Little San, you...you're back! Have you inherited the divine position?"
Tang San nodded, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "I haven't failed in my mission. I've become a god! I am now the Shura God Tang San!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao went mad with excitement: "Ah! My son has become a god! Hahahaha! My son has become a god!"
Tang Hao's eyes rolled back, trembling with elation. He dropped his hammer and ran out, stumbling as he went.
Tang San, witnessing this, was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what had happened.
Over the years, his father had endured immense hardship. The crimes of the Spirit Hall were countless: forcing his mother to sacrifice herself, then taking her for himself in front of his father, and massacring the Clear Sky Sect.
All these acts, each and every one, weighed heavily on Tang Hao's heart, with nowhere to vent his anger. The only reason Tang Hao could endure it was because Tang San could become a god and take revenge.
Now that he himself had become a god, all the grievances Tang Hao had accumulated over the years finally erupted.
Tang San immediately dispatched the Clear Sky Sect disciples to search for him. Finally, they found Tang Hao swimming in the Clear Sky Sect's communal latrine.
After rescuing Tang Hao, Tang San looked at the still delirious Tang Hao and was about to use his divine power to bring him back to his senses when his uncle, Tang Xiao, said, "Little San, you are already a noble God-King. How can you allow your divine body to be tainted by the yellow and white substances on Hao's body? Let your uncle handle this. He's just gone mad with joy, and phlegm is rising in his throat. If your uncle gives him a good slap, he'll be startled and spit out the phlegm, then he'll understand."
Tang San also felt that Tang Hao's body smelled foul, so he said to Tang Xiao, "Then, Uncle, it's up to you."
Tang Xiao nodded, endured the stench on Tang Hao's body, and slapped him, knocking the large wad of sticky phlegm out of Tang Hao's mouth. Only then did Tang Hao regain his senses.
"My son has advanced to the Asura God!" These were Tang Hao's first words after regaining consciousness. Immediately afterward, everyone from the Clear Sky Sect stepped forward to congratulate Tang Hao.
"Congratulations, Hao! You have a good son. Tang San has advanced to the Asura God!" Tang Xiao said excitedly.
"You and your son are the pride of our Clear Sky Sect," Tang Xuan said obsequiously.
These Clear Sky Sect disciples, who had looked down on Tang Hao before, were now fawning over him. Tang Hao, equally smug, suddenly smelled the stench emanating from himself.
Seeing the yellowish-white filth on his body, his expression changed, and he quickly went to wash himself.
In an instant, the entire Clear Sky Sect was overjoyed.
Tang San had become a god, and a God King at that—the Asura God! Their emotions, suppressed for so long by the Spirit Hall, finally erupted at this moment.
"God King Tang San, we unanimously elect you as the Sect Master of our Clear Sky Sect," Tang Xuan said obsequiously.
Tang San said, "Now that I've become a god, I can't stay in the Clear Sky Sect for long. Let my father take over the position of sect leader. He's now the Grand Elder of the Asura God, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and he's certainly capable of being the sect leader."
Thus, with Tang San's recommendation, Tang Hao became the new sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect. They then began discussing how to deal with the Spirit Hall.
A Clear Sky Sect disciple stepped forward and declared confidently, "Your Majesty, the Asura God, we should immediately attack the Spirit Hall and avenge our humiliation!"
"Yes, yes! Reclaim our Clear Sky Sect's women, kill all those outsiders who inherit the Clear Sky Hammer, and ensure that the Clear Sky Hammer spirit is forever passed down only to the Tang family!" another Clear Sky Sect disciple shouted.
"Sect Leader, please give the order! My Clear Sky Hammer is itching for action!" another Clear Sky Sect disciple said.
Seeing everyone urging him to deal with the Spirit Hall, Tang San's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he said:
"This isn't urgent. Let's wait until everyone arrives."
A little over a month later, various forces arrived at the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect had taken strict measures to keep Tang San's ascension to godhood a secret, so they didn't know he had already achieved it before they arrived.
However, the Clear Sky Sect's secrecy was breached by someone.
Tang San couldn't possibly hide the news of his ascension from his teacher.
When Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Clear Sky Sect, he was informed of Tang San's godhood.
Upon hearing this news, Yu Xiaogang was stunned.
He thought of all the grievances and suffering he had endured over the years: the cold shoulder from his family, Bibi Dong abandoning him, Qian Xunji betraying him, stripping him of his prized Golden Sacred Dragon, leaving him with only a fat pig spirit. Having endured so much hardship and humiliation, the moment he learned of his disciple's ascension, boundless joy erupted, overwhelming his senses.
"Alas, my disciple has become a god!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled back, his mouth twisted, and he grinned foolishly, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. His arms outstretched, he moved back and forth like a fluttering butterfly.
Everyone around, including Xue Qinghe, was stunned by this sight.
"What's wrong with the Grand Preceptor?" Xue Qinghe asked.
An experienced Haotian Sect disciple said, "Oh dear, another one has gone mad. The Divine Master has gone mad with joy. He's so overjoyed that he's vomiting, and he's gone completely insane."
"Then what should we do?" Xue Qinghe frowned and asked.
"Stop him first."
"Quick, stop him!"
A group of people chased after Yu Xiaogang, trying to stop him, but Yu Xiaogang ran into the cesspool again. Seeing the spot where Tang Hao had once swum the butterfly stroke, he leaped in and began to swim joyfully.
While swimming butterfly stroke, he excitedly exclaimed, "Hahaha, ahaha, my disciple has become a god! No one will laugh at me, Yu Xiaogang, anymore! Ahaha, my disciple has finally become a god!"
Later, seeing Yu Xiaogang's disgraceful state, people couldn't help but roll their eyes, but remembering his identity as the Master of Gods, they endured the stench and pulled Yu Xiaogang out of the cesspool!
This time, Xue Qinghe, enduring the stench, slapped him, but Yu Xiaogang still had too much phlegm. After spitting out a mouthful, he was still crooked-faced, grinning foolishly, with saliva and excrement dripping from his mouth!
"Let me do it," Marshal Ge Long stepped forward and slapped Yu Xiaogang, swelling half his face.
But Yu Xiaogang still just stood there grinning foolishly.
Helpless, Tang San could only slap them one by one. Finally, seeing his teacher's bruised and swollen face, Tang San felt a pang of heartache and used his divine power to help Xiao Gang recover. Then, he personally slapped him, sending Yu Xiao Gang spinning 365 degrees in mid-air before he landed, spitting out a large wad of phlegm.
Yu Xiao Gang regained his senses, coughed twice, and said, "I remember, I just heard that Xiao San became a god, and then?"
"Then, you went crazy. It's all thanks to Xiao San that you came to your senses," Tang Xiao said.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes," Yu Xiao Gang looked at Tang San, excitedly saying, "Xiao San, you haven't disappointed your teacher, you've finally become a god!"
Tang San said, "Yes, teacher, I've become a god. From now on, with me here, no one can bully you."
"Thank you, Xiao San," Yu Xiao Gang said, moved.
After the emotion subsided, Yu Xiao Gang realized he smelled terrible.
He looked down and saw that his own robes, adorned with a feather fan and silk turban, were now stained with the stench of excrement and urine.
Yu Xiaogang exclaimed,
"Two of my medals are missing!"
He then mobilized a search party to find his medals of honor, but they couldn't find them anywhere he had walked. The only certainty was that the two precious medals had fallen into the latrine.
Under Yu Xiaogang's orders, the latrine was emptied, and only then were the two medals found amidst the excrement.
Yu Xiaogang washed himself, threw away his clothes, pinned the medals to his new ones, and lovingly touched the rows of medals on his chest, saying tenderly, "My precious medals, my precious medals, my precious medals."
With Yu Xiaogang's antics, the news of Tang San's ascension to godhood could no longer be kept secret.
In the Hall of Righteousness established by the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, as the host, reserved a position that transcended all other factions.
Once all the various factions had taken their seats, Tang San emerged from behind the curtain. His long, blood-red hair and unfathomable aura were evident as he walked out and took his place.
Below Tang San were two other seats, representing the highest ranks of the faction, second only to him. Two men stepped forward from either side: Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, with a smile and a strong, powerful physique, sat down, casually crossing his left leg over his right.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang, hands behind his back, calmly and confidently sat down, then produced a feather fan from somewhere and waved it.
The crowd below rose one after another, saying, "Greetings, Father, Divine Master, and the great Asura God Tang San."
Tang San nodded and said, "Today, this anti-Spirit Hall alliance conference was convened for the first time by my great-grandfather. However, my great-grandfather sacrificed himself for my ascension to godhood. Now, before the formal commencement of the meeting, let us first pay tribute to his spirit in heaven."
Thus, everyone present rose to pay tribute to Tang San's spirit.
Afterwards, discussions began on how to oppose the Spirit Hall.
Almost everyone's opinion was simple: immediately send troops to the Spirit Hall, destroy it, and avenge their humiliation.
This wasn't just the sentiment of Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao, and the Clear Sky Sect—those who had suffered at the hands of the Spirit Hall—but also that of the sect leaders and their followers.
"Great Asura God, the Spirit Hall is further displacing Soul Masters into the hands of the common people, inciting popular riots. If these things are not stopped, the situation will become even more serious," Dai Tianfeng said.
"Yes, yes, the Spirit Hall is acting against the natural order, actually attempting to overturn the long-standing traditions of the Spirit Master world by awakening Spirits in those peasants. Spirit Masters are nobles, and nobles are Spirit Masters. The Spirit Hall is acting against the natural order; you must take action to eradicate this cancer!" A family patriarch stood up and said.
He had suffered terribly from the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master awakening plan. His servants and laborers had all fled, gone to awaken their Spirits and become Spirit Masters; no one wanted to be a slave in his family anymore.
