Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 538 Attending a Wedding Requires Climbing a Mountain

This is a remote little village.

There are not many farmlands, not many houses, and not many villagers.

Behind the village, there is a range of mountains, half-hidden and half-shrouded in mist.

At the village entrance, people were already arriving one after another.

The villagers also put on their best clothes and, together with the disciples of the Haotian Sect who came down the mountain, welcomed the various forces that came to offer their congratulations—Tang Chen and Poseidon's wedding was today!

However, one of the fourth-generation disciples of the Haotian Sect is missing: Tang Luoya. He, along with Hawke and Feng Ming, had already set off towards the Seagod Island to search for it, and they were unaware that Tang Chen was going to marry Poseidon.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan was led by Yu Yuanzhen, who personally brought his disciples, while the clan was guarded by Yu Luomian; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was led by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who brought a small number of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples.

The Heavenly Dou Empire sent three members of the Education Committee, as Xue Qinghe himself was not suitable.

Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Empire personally came to offer their congratulations.

The Spirit Hall was naturally occupied by Tang San, Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, and others. Xiao Wu and the others didn't get involved in the commotion. After all, the Clear Sky Sect was full of barbarians, and it wasn't Tang San's home. They weren't there to meet the family or anything, so there was no need for that.

Upon seeing acquaintances, Tang San greeted them one by one. Zhu Zhuqing even "abandoned" Davis and Zhu Zhuyun and went to Tang San's side.

"Tang San, why did you come in person?" Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised to see Tang San, after all, Tang San's identity... made it inappropriate for him to come to this occasion.

"I had no choice but to obey orders from above." Tang San shrugged and sighed softly. "However, what must be faced must be faced. My conscience is clear... After all, I didn't grow up in the Clear Sky Sect."

Ning Fengzhi quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's my fault, Uncle. I shouldn't have brought this up. Speaking of which, do you know any secrets about becoming a god at level 100?"

"I know." Tang San didn't hide anything from his father-in-law. "Those who become gods cannot interfere in the mortal world."

Sword Douluo frowned: "Why?"

"The rules of the divine realm." Tang San pointed to the sky, "The power of the gods has a great influence on the lower realm. Perhaps a mere breath can transform a person completely."

"My cultivation has reached level ninety-nine. Breaking through to level one hundred is nothing more than a matter of whether I want to or not."

"It's definitely not possible at this stage. After all, I don't want to be bound by the rules of the divine realm. The progress and development of this world have not yet met my expectations."

Ning Fengzhi, having learned these secrets, had no doubts, but simply asked, "Does the God Realm truly exist?"

"It exists. When one's cultivation reaches level ninety-nine, one can sense it. There are spatial passages between the God Realm and the mortal realm," Tang San said calmly. "The Spirit Hall has two inheritors of the divine lineage. As far as I know, if a god in the lower realm doesn't hide well and is noticed by the God Realm, he can only stay in the lower realm for a maximum of one hundred years. After one hundred years, he must ascend to the God Realm. Otherwise, law enforcers will come down to enforce the law, and in serious cases, the god will be directly annihilated."

"Although Tang Chen has become a god, he cannot actively influence the human world. He can only do his own personal things. Otherwise, given the pride of the Clear Sky Sect, the first thing he would do is to attack the Spirit Hall, rather than form a marriage alliance with Seagod Island to create a powerful alliance."

Sword Douluo suddenly realized and said, "I see. I've heard my father mention Tang Chen. He's the most domineering person. He would never be bullied in his own sect... cough cough. Anyway, he would probably attack the Spirit Hall first, rather than marry someone, even if he loves that person very much."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the foot of a cliff.

This cliff is about 500 meters high and perpendicular to the ground at a 90-degree angle. There are pits on the cliff face that are less than the size of a fist, with more than ten meters between each other. It is impossible for an ordinary person to climb up. Even a Soul Master, unless he has the ability to fly, must be extremely careful, otherwise he will fall off from the top if he is not careful.

"Please, everyone," Tang Long and Tang Hu, who were leading the way, said with a smile. "If you want to get to the Haotian Sect, you must first climb up there."

"Heh." Yan chuckled coldly and said to Xie Yue beside him, "Haotian Sect is trying to give us a warning. Those who are not strong enough will not even be able to enter the real gate."

Xie Yue nodded: "Indeed, the Haotian Sect is too domineering. The leaders of the major forces can climb this cliff with ease, but the other ordinary disciples cannot. Moreover, some non-Soul Master nobles cannot climb it at all, and if they ask us for help, they will lose face."

Just as some people were hesitant and uncertain, Tang San released the Blue Silver Emperor, which formed a rope ladder and climbed up the cliff. He then said to the crowd, "If you don't mind, you can climb the ladder. It's a bit tiring, but it's safer."

Some of the less powerful members of the Spirit Hall climbed the ladder, with a Blue Silver Emperor belt automatically tied around their waists to prevent them from falling.

The others were extremely grateful upon seeing this.

Tang San, along with Hu Liena, Yan, Xie Yue, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members, took to the air and arrived at the top of the cliff in an instant.

In fact, Tang San could also fly with the others, or even teleport, but—

Tang San was not familiar with them.

Besides, if the Haotian Sect intends to stop those who are weak, he can help them once or twice, but not a third time. If they are too tired to even climb the stairs, they should go back.

Otherwise, even if they enter the final gate, they will be targeted by Haotian's disciples.

Being helpful to others doesn't mean he has to be their nanny or something like that.

"It has to be said that there is a reason why the Haotian Sect was once the number one sect in the world." Sword Douluo looked around and saw the steep cliffs and peaks connected by chains as thick as thighs. He was amazed. "If the disciples of the sect enter and leave through these chains and go up and down the mountain through the cliffs we just saw, the strength of its disciples must be very strong."

"Definitely not." Tang San was certain. After all, before Tang Yuehua understood her own heart and let go of that pride, her soul power was only level nine. Could it be that she had to go through all these steps to return to the sect?

There must be other secret passages, otherwise the materials required to build such a tall building in the sect's main hall would be beyond what a Soul Master could transport up there.

Moreover, Soul Masters disdain jobs like transportation, let alone overly arrogant disciples like those from the Clear Sky Sect.

Before long, the figures from other forces also reached the top of the peak. Tang Long and Tang Hu glanced back at the Soul Masters and nobles who were still climbing the steps and said to everyone, "We won't wait for them. Please follow us. There is only one road to the Haotian Sect headquarters. They will proceed on their own when the time comes."

The group followed Tang Long and Tang Hu forward and arrived at a precipice. A thick chain connected the precipice to a large mountain on the opposite side, where there were many palaces and pavilions.

"This is a chain bridge. To reach the final gate of the Haotian Sect, you need to walk across it," Tang Long explained, his gaze specifically drawn to Tang San—now, he probably can't build stairs or anything like that, right?
