"Little San, the place ahead is where you will begin your training."
Along a jungle path, Tang Hao spoke to Tang San as they moved.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's spirits lifted slightly. They had been traveling for a week; were they finally about to reach their destination?
After following Tang Hao over several more mountain ranges, a tremendous roar rang in Tang San's ears, and a valley appeared before him.
In the center of the valley lies a deep and beautiful pool, shimmering with a sapphire-like luster. A steep cliff path leads to a cascading waterfall, resembling a jade ribbon falling from the sky.
The scenery left Tang San momentarily stunned. After a week of travel, he was feeling somewhat depressed, but the beautiful view eased his mind a little.
However, what he didn't notice was that Tang Hao's expression instantly turned extremely ugly after seeing the steep cliff path.
Tang Hao immediately headed towards the steep slope as fast as he could, praying that what he was thinking would not happen.
Soon, they arrived at the location of the secret passage he had created and immediately submerged into the water.
"Father?"
Tang San was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene. He didn't know why Tang Hao would suddenly do this.
A moment later, Tang Hao emerged from the water, his face now extremely grim.
Gone, all gone!
His wife, Ah Yin, and the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor left in the stone wall disappeared along with the secret passage.
"Judging from the marks on the riverbed, could it be that some master was practicing and accidentally broke through my secret passage? And stole Ah Yin and the 100,000-year-old soul bone?"
No, that's highly unlikely. It's probably the Spirit Hall! Damn it, have I been exposed again?
Tang Hao immediately suspected the Spirit Hall, after all, who else on this continent could find such a hidden place besides the Spirit Hall?
"Father, what happened?"
At this moment, Tang San came to Tang Hao's side and asked with some doubt.
However, Tang Hao did not answer Tang San's question directly. Instead, he immediately said, "Little San, this place has been discovered. We can't stay here any longer. We must leave immediately."
With that, Tang Hao picked up Tang San and increased his speed to the maximum, quickly leaving the valley.

It wasn't until an hour later, when Tang Hao felt that the Spirit Hall people couldn't catch up, that he put Tang San down.
After being put down, Tang San asked again about the previous questions.
"Father, what happened? Why did we have to run away?"
Tang San was completely bewildered at this moment, not knowing what had happened. He obeyed Tang Hao's orders entirely out of respect for Tang Hao as his father.
Tang Hao clenched his fist angrily and said, "Your mother and her belongings, which I left in that valley, have been stolen, and the thieves are most likely from the Spirit Hall!"
"What!? My mother and her belongings?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San was stunned. So he had a mother in his life? And this mother even left him some belongings!
Instantly, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That despicable Spirit Hall actually stole my mother's belongings, they have already committed suicide!"
He had never experienced the warmth of family in his previous life, so he cherished it all the more after having Tang Hao as his father in this life.
Even though Tang Hao neglected him when he was a child and almost starved him to death, he was still happy to accept it.
After all, in his mind, whatever parents do to their children is right.
Sons and daughters can only accept it, not refuse it, much less resist it, otherwise they are considered unfilial!
This also explains why Tang San's behavior was so abstract in Douluo Continent II, because he believed it to be completely correct.
As the chosen one of destiny in Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao's growth should have been incredibly smooth after leaving the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. However, Tang San took a liking to him and wanted to bring him into the Tang family, which added a lot of unnecessary trials for him.
You, Huo Yuhao, want to take away my Tang San's daughter. As his father-in-law, I'm already being lenient by not torturing you to death. How can I let you get away with it so easily?
As for why Huo Yuhao insists on marrying Tang San's daughter, that's none of your business, you're just going to marry her anyway!
Then, Tang San looked at Tang Hao and asked in an almost pleading tone, "Father, what kind of person was my mother?"
"Sigh~"
After hearing Tang San's question, Tang Hao sighed, "Since you've asked, it's time to tell you."
At this moment, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Tang Hao's eyes, and then he slowly answered Tang San's question.
"Your mother is not human, but a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor tree that transformed into a human..."
After a long while, Tang San was deeply shocked after hearing Tang Hao's explanation.
His mother was not human, but a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. No wonder his Blue Silver Grass could coexist with the Clear Sky Hammer, which was known as the number one weapon spirit in the world.
At the same time, his resentment towards the Spirit Hall deepened considerably.
If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, he should be enjoying his mother's warmth now, his father would naturally become the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and he would be the young sect leader of the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Sect.
His childhood would never have been so miserable, unlike now, with his mother tragically killed, his father severely injured and despondent, relying on alcohol to numb his nerves all day.
From this perspective, Tang San's overwhelming hatred for the Spirit Hall is quite normal; anyone in his position would not easily let the Spirit Hall go.
However, Tang San quickly noticed an important piece of information in Tang Hao's words and immediately frowned, saying to Tang Hao:
"Father, since my mother is a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, then my martial soul should be the Blue Silver Emperor, right? But in reality, my martial soul is not fundamentally different from the other Blue Silver Grass."
The reason why Tang San was able to achieve outstanding results against other soul masters despite mainly cultivating the Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul, is twofold: firstly, his soul ring configuration is higher than that of ordinary people, and secondly, it is due to the support of his previous life's martial arts such as Crane Control and Dragon Capture, Ghost Shadow Illusion, Purple Demon Eye, and Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Even so, in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass showed signs of fatigue when facing true geniuses of the same age.
It was torn apart by Elephant Armor Academy, burned by Blazing Fire Academy, frozen by Skywater Academy, and pulled by Divine Wind Academy...
These experiences once shattered Tang San's Dao heart, but he was eventually persuaded to return by Yu Xiaogang's Clear Sky Hammer, which possessed all ten-thousand-year soul rings.
However, Tang San was still somewhat confused. Could he really cultivate to the Soul Emperor level with just this useless Blue Silver Grass?
