Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1107 - 1104: Sea of Elements

Putting away the Heart of Nature, Tang San infused a large amount of different elemental power into four directions. Guided by the power of faith, this was not a difficult task. Soon, four small seas of elements had gradually taken shape and were slowly growing under the aggregation effect of the Seeds of Elements.

When he originally acquired the Heart of Nature, he had already thought of this application. Without the Heart of Nature, he would have had to search for four divine tools corresponding to the four main attributes of water, fire, earth, and wind, destroying those artifacts to create something akin to the Seeds of Elements. But the elemental power planted this way would require very careful maintenance in its early stages, far inferior to the Seeds of Elements released by the Heart of Nature.

The Sea God’s Trident slowly retracted, falling back into Tang San’s hands as the Sea God’s Projection vanished.

The power of faith nourished Pearl Island, planting the four foundational elements. Without question, this place had already become a holy land in the Endless Blue Ocean, and also a sanctuary for humanity.

In the next instant, silvery light flickered, and Tang San returned to Pretty Girl and Xiao He’s side.

Xiao He looked at him with a gaze tinged with awe and exclaimed, "I truly want to know if there’s anything that you can’t do."

Tang San chuckled and replied, "You’ve really put me on the spot there."

Xiao He roared with laughter, saying, "Fine, fine, fine. With this Elemental Sea, the clansmen we’ve selected can start their training attempts. What do we do next?"

Tang San’s face turned serious as he said, "There’s an old saying: A master teaches the apprentice the basics, but cultivation depends on oneself. I can create opportunities for our clansmen, but I cannot personally teach them everything. Humanity’s greatest strength lies in its creativity. I believe the opportunities I’ve provided will allow them to create their own abilities and applications suitable for themselves. These four elemental seas can serve as the foundation of the Elemental Sea. Surrounding these, differing elemental attributes should give rise to various Seeds of Elements. Once these seeds are planted in the right locations, they will naturally transform into elemental seas of varying sizes, providing humanity with resources for cultivating and awakening elemental attributes over time. Gradually, these will evolve into a fully developed system. You preside over space elements, so you should easily comprehend the usage of different elements. Truthfully, I may just become a hands-off overseer from now on, leaving the rest to your capable hands."

Xiao He showed no signs of displeasure, nodding with a smile as he said, "You’ve already resolved the most difficult step. The remainder is up to us. However, aside from those capable of sensing elements or possessing the bloodline inheritance of Demon God Transformation or Heavenly Spirit Transformation, there’s still a significant number of clansmen who lack both. How do we handle those?"

Tang San replied, "For those individuals, I’ve prepared another cultivation pathway. As the saying goes, all roads lead to the same destination. Any cultivation method ultimately reaches the universal truth and will provide a future for our clansmen. I’ll stay here for a while—partially to monitor the creation and nurturing of the Elemental Sea, and secondly to archive this cultivation method for future use."

Pretty Girl asked curiously, "You’ve mentioned it before, but what exactly is the cultivation method? Can you reveal it now?"

Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Speaking of it, its original inspiration came from the champion prize we brought back from the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament." As he spoke, his hand glowed, and a thick book materialized in his palm.

"That magic book?" Pretty Girl asked, intrigued.

Tang San nodded.

Pretty Girl was already aware that Tang San had fused the Heavenly Mechanism Feather into the book.

Tang San turned to Xiao He and explained, "Prime Minister, during the Emperor Battle we participated in at the Ancestral Court, one of the final auction items was an Emperor Sky Pillar. It was a very special Emperor Sky Pillar brought to this world by humanity. This means humans once appeared in this plane as Emperors. This final cultivation method is derived from the legacy of that Emperor Sky Pillar."

After the Emperor Battle ended, Tang San visited the Emperor Sky Pillar before leaving the Ancestral Court. He did not alert any existing Emperors, nor was his interaction with the Emperor Sky Pillar known to them.

In truth, Tang San not only visited it but also earned the recognition of the Emperor Sky Pillar.

Human bloodlines, combined with his understanding of the legacy encoded within the Emperor Sky Pillar, together with the ambition of creating opportunities for humanity’s future—all of these were indispensable. Tang San possessed all of these traits, so after his divine consciousness exchange with the Emperor Sky Pillar, he acquired its legacy.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao He gasped in astonishment. Even as the former Peacock Demon King, he hadn’t known that the Emperor Sky Pillar belonging to humanity had once existed on Fairy Avenue.

"This predecessor forged a unique path, a path unimaginable to us. He had no innate talents, yet was incredibly clever—starting out as a blacksmith responsible for crafting various weapons. His skillful hands allowed him to progress rapidly, but he lacked any abilities or bloodline talents. He was just an ordinary human. Yet, this ordinary man used his brilliance and relentless effort to create powerful weapons, even inventing various alloys to enhance their strength, eventually gaining some renown."

"Because his weapons became exceptional, he gradually accumulated considerable wealth. To forge better weapons, he began collecting the blood of powerful races and incorporating it into his craft. In doing so, he created weapons imbued with greater vitality and strength. But since his own abilities were limited without any innate talents, he wasn’t able to create truly formidable items—something he found deeply unsatisfying. Later, he discovered a unique alloy that he accidentally forged. This alloy absorbed certain blood and could temporarily manifest and release the innate abilities of the respective race. Though weaker, it retained their characteristics nevertheless. To better utilize the abilities of strong entities for his forging, he began researching the alloy, exploring ways to enhance its absorption power and controllability. This research lasted fifty years. At the end of those fifty years, his success became monumental. Realizing his triumph, he created paper-like objects with the alloy, embedding bloodline powers into them so they could temporarily manifest, assisting him in forging. Crafting a divine tool was his lifelong dream. Little did he expect that the very alloy paper he had created was already the embryonic form of a divine tool."

"When he imprinted over a hundred bloodline abilities onto those alloy sheets and attempted to fuse them together, his life underwent a transformation. The alloy gained vitality akin to sprites achieving essence, granting him immense feedback that suddenly elevated him to the Ninth Stage."

"Only then did he realize the true importance of his research. Resolutely, he continued to refine and develop his alloy. He had no bloodline talents himself, but the alloy awakened a pure energy source within him, allowing him to utilize various bloodline abilities through it. His further studies steadily increased his power—with the diverse capabilities of the alloy pages—eventually undergoing tribulation to become a King. Following that, he spent another fifty years developing his own unique system, ultimately achieving sovereignty in a single day, ascending as Emperor."

Although Pretty Girl wasn’t hearing this story for the first time, she still felt an overwhelming sense of awe at Tang San’s narration. It was even more astonishing for Xiao He.
