Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 238: Bridging Heaven and Earth



Chapter 238: Bridging Heaven and Earth

As time passed, Tang San's aura became increasingly stable, and the energy output of his soul core gradually flowed out and formed a large white cocoon around him.

The Crimson Fox girls watched from not too far away. They had little understanding of their nominal master. He was nothing more than a child in their eyes, yet he had drawn the Spirit Summoning Array. And the aura emanating from him at this moment was incredibly powerful.

They had been cultivating around the Spirit Summoning Array for a while, influenced by the life essence of the Golden Saplings. Their bloodline was subtly evolving, and though they had not yet advanced, their spirits were vigorous and their vital energy abundant. Despite the solitude of mountain life, there was at least a sense of stability. Having spent some time together, they could feel that Zhang Haoxuan and Tang San meant no harm, and the fact that they were both humans certainly helped that impression.

These girls, basically blank slates when it came to knowing the world, gradually feel a sense of belonging toward the two.

Tang San's breakthrough could be described as completely natural, resulting from long-suppressed efforts. In recent days, he had been absorbing the energies of various treasure plants in the academy's store, bolstering his vital energy and improving his physique. His physique now surpassed those of his peers, which meant that he had overcome the most significant obstacle in advancing his cultivation. At the same time, his spiritual power had been continuously increasing. After reaching the ninth order, interaction with his divine consciousness became much easier, nourishing the divine consciousness and being nourished by it in turn. While the total amount of his spiritual power had not changed much, it had begun a silent transformation—this time, it showed signs of starting to solidify.

Only recently had the accumulations from Tang San's previous life begun to truly manifest. He had been able to reproduce some abilities from his past life, and now, he had also started to evolve his body toward the level of his previous one.

The soul core within his dantian gradually stabilized, his energy vortex operated smoothly, and he absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth. And in this remote mountain forest... no one noticed his transformation.

As a hint of dawn began to lighten the distant sky, Tang San suddenly took a deep breath. Instantly, the white currents swirling around his body were drawn into his mouth and nose, as if he was a whale drawing in water, and he once more appeared clear within the others’ sights.

Zhang Haoxuan, who had spent the whole night staring at him, felt nothing but joy and relief. Is this a sign of success?

The Crimson Fox girls, who had nodded off by now, were startled awake and instinctively looked at Tang San.

They witnessed a remarkable scene.

At this moment, the distant sky was lit with the light of dawn, tinged with a faint purple hue. Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, and a deep purple light burst forth from the depths of his gaze.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual power burst forth from Tang San. Even Zhang Haoxuan felt his sea of consciousness was trembling—a ninth-order powerhouse like him was experiencing a sense of suppression! This was a clear sign that his spiritual power was being overwhelmed!

When did his spiritual power become so strong?

As Zhang Haoxuan was gaping in shock, the purple in Tang San's eyes gradually turned into a gleaming white radiance. Following that, a white stream of energy burst forth from his body, condensing above his head into the form of a white fox.

The fox had nine tails, one of which was solid.

Zhang Haoxuan had seen this exact scene play out before! Wasn't it when Du Bai broke through? Unlike Du Bai's breakthrough, however, behind this Celestial Fox's head was a ring of colored light, with nine different colors shimmering faintly. In the deep blue eyes of the Celestial Fox, there was an additional glint of gold, giving it an aura of wisdom.

A different Celestial Fox Transformation? Zhang Haoxuan watched in stunned silence. Then, he felt all the spiritual power bursting forth from Tang San suddenly retract. In the next instant, an invisible spiritual storm erupted from Tang San, and the Celestial Fox phantom above his head expanded more than twice in size.

The eyes of the Celestial Fox phantom shone brightly, gazing into the sky with pride, staring directly at the rising sun that was slowly emerging in the distance.

Within Tang San's sea of consciousness, his spiritual power began to boil as the Celestial Fox Transformation evolved. The golden sea churned violently, and the imprint of the Celestial Fox Transformation within his dantian rapidly expanded and grew, illuminating the entire dantian with its light.

His energy vortex operated intensely, influenced by the luminous aura of the Celestial Fox imprint. The surging spiritual power within his bloodline climbed upward, pouring into the sea of consciousness and beginning to merge with the spiritual power there.

In Tang San's case, there was no collision of spiritual forces as there had been with Du Bai. This was because a strand of divine consciousness sat at the center of his sea of consciousness. The spiritual power born from stimulating the Celestial Fox Transformation within his bloodline was simply not at the level where it could affect his sea of consciousness. The two began to merge almost immediately, initiating the evolution of the Celestial Fox imprint.

The Celestial Fox bloodline was one of the highest-tier powers in this plane, but completing its breakthrough at that moment was the easiest task for Tang San. With the strengthening of his spiritual power and divine consciousness, that trace of divine consciousness had expanded to more than twice its original size, and it was enough to easily cow the fifth-order Celestial Fox Transformation into submission.

Within Tang San's sea of consciousness, the shadow of the nine-tailed Celestial Fox flickered. However, with the pressure from the divine consciousness, it did not dare to rear its head. Instead, it meekly submitted to the illumination of the divine consciousness.

The sea of consciousness churned and boiled. At the center of this sea, around that point of golden divine consciousness, numerous golden light motes began to flow in, gradually sketching outlines—these lines connected, drawing in more spiritual power, solidifying progressively into a golden, diamond-shaped crystal.

Today, Tang San was consolidating not just the soul core but also the spirit core. He had not taken this step yet with his spiritual power; not because he couldn't, but because the right moment had not arrived. Now, with the evolution of his body and the breakthrough of the Celestial Fox Transformation, he could draw upon even greater spiritual power. This allowed him to condense his spirit core in one go and allow it to become as solid as it could at this stage.

The golden diamond-shaped crystal slowly solidified. It radiated soft blue light, which slowly condensed into a blue halo around it.

Inside the sea of consciousness, this immense spiritual power converged into the spirit core, causing the sea of consciousness to gradually become more spacious. The spirit core continuously emitted ripples of golden light, like innumerable golden halos. As these golden halos spread out, like ripples on the surface of a lake, Tang San's sea of consciousness also expanded.

Tang San closed his eyes again; the soul core in his dantian and the soul core within his sea of consciousness shone. A golden halo appeared on his forehead, and a white light emerged from his lower abdomen.

The golden light flowed downward, along his chest and abdomen, connecting with the dantian. The two linked up, instantly bridging the gap between heaven and earth.

Tang San shuddered, and his bones cracked. Within just a moment, his body seemed to have grown in size. A powerful aura surged out from within him. With the bridge between heaven and earth established, a second fox tail solidified instantly behind the phantom of the Celestial Fox above his head, a process completely unlike the gradual growth experienced by Du Bai.

The Celestial Fox's eyes suddenly shone brightly with a deep blue light, and Tang San's aura instantly dropped. The aura rising mightily like a growing wave vanished in an instant.

Or rather... it was concealed.
