Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 798 - 797 Fulfilling the Promise
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "I understand. The reason why the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor does not dissipate his energies on external matters is because he has always been nurturing his sword, the sword in his heart, and also, it can be said, the sword in his divine consciousness. He maintains a high level of unity with his spirit, essence, and energy at all times simply because all that united power is being used to nurture his own sword intent. Once his sword intent erupts, it will undoubtedly be an existence that shocks the heavens and moves the spirits. How could I underestimate an emperor like that? And such an emperor is also very pure; as long as he can be moved, his support will not be swayed by any other affair."
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor said, "It seems you understand him well. Then go. However, do not expose your super bloodline. That is something you must be cautious about, otherwise, there’s no telling what might happen."

"Understood," Tang San answered with a nod.
The reason he had to meet the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor before leaving was because of a past promise. The vote of support that the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor gave to Pretty Girl was because Tang San promised to show him what the true Sword Intent of Judgement looked like.
A promise made must be kept; only by being trustworthy can there be a foundation for further cooperation.
Three days later.
Sword Saint Palace.
Tang San and Pretty Girl, wearing hoods, arrived at the foot of the Sword Saint Palace.
The two of them held hands, their auras concealed beneath the cover of Tang San’s Spirit Rhinoceros Eye. Now with Tang San’s godhood in position, even an Emperor would not be able to discern their true state through divine consciousness, unless they were forced into action.
Tang San took out the Sword Saint Order that the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor had given him last time, and with Pretty Girl in tow, they ascended Sword Saint Mountain unimpeded.
The palace was still simple, and the sword intent as sharp as ever.
Tang San released a strand of his breath to enter into the Sword Saint Palace.
After a short while, the main gate of the Sword Saint Palace slowly opened, and a cold word came from inside, "Come."
Accompanied by Pretty Girl, Tang San entered the Sword Saint Palace, which was quite clean, though not as silent as White Tiger Palace. The Red-crowned Crane Demons walking in the palace hardly made a sound as if they didn’t see them, going about their own business.
Tang San led Pretty Girl upwards, reaching the topmost floor of the Sword Saint Palace.
The simple palace gate stood open. The two of them walked in together.
In the sound of "zazza," the gate closed automatically, making the hall slightly dim.
In the next instant, they were both struck by a bright feeling, as a figure with an incomparably sharp aura suddenly appeared not far in front of them—wasn’t it the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor?
Tang San and Pretty Girl bowed slightly, "We’ve seen Your Grace."
The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor nodded and said, "You’re indeed still alive." His gaze locked onto Tang San immediately.
In an instant, an incredibly sharp aura pressed directly towards Tang San.
Tang San did not retreat but stepped forward, shielding Pretty Girl as a faint golden halo burst forth from within him. It was not the power of the Golden Body Variation, but from the Sea God.
With godhood in position, he forcibly withstood the other’s overbearing presence. He did not step back an inch in the face of that sharpness.
Pretty Girl came to his back, her hands touching his back, infusing her bloodline power into Tang San through Peacock Transformation.
The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor said, "Was the Heavenly Tribulation brought to the Ancestral Court related to you?"
Tang San replied candidly, "Yes! It was the Heavenly Tribulation that I faced together with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor."
He had sought out the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor before that event and had received a promise from the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor to support Pretty Girl. Any emperor would possess extreme wisdom; even this emperor, who almost entirely focused his energy on his sword, would not let it affect his judgment. So Tang San had long understood that the emperor might have guessed something, especially now that he had appeared alive and well before him—how could it not arouse his suspicion?
The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor said sternly, "Was it really Crystal?"
```
Tang San did not directly answer, "The Crystal Great Demon Emperor no longer exists."
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor heaved a sigh, and the oppressive force he exerted on Tang San’s body also disappeared without a trace, "Only she could have achieved those things. This is a struggle against fate. Even emperors are no exception. Alas, she did not succeed."
Tang San did not say much, keeping silent. But he understood that the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor must have believed his words. After all, even if he had told him that the Heavenly Tribulation was entirely brought about by himself, he probably would not believe it.
From the beginning to the end, Tang San had not told a single lie, the Heavenly Tribulation indeed had something to do with the Crystal Great Demon Emperor! Jingjing was, after all, a part of his own body, and indeed, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had lent her support, which was his important trump card.
He simply guided the thoughts of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor a bit.
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor said, "Have you come this time to fulfill a promise?"
Tang San nodded and said, "Exactly that, a promise worth a thousand in gold. I want to combine our powers to display the Sword Intent of Judgement to you. Please give us your guidance."
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction evident in his eyes.
As for Pretty Girl, he had already begun to look at her differently during her report. This young girl, despite her young age, had managed to defeat the Great Demon King of the Phoenix Demon Clan with the strength of a Demon King level, and later even became a Great Demon King herself—truly blessed by heaven. And now, Tang San had clearly broken through to rank 10.
He had once dueled with Tang San, so he understood even more that one must not face Tang San in an ordinary state.
"Then let’s start," the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor nodded to Tang San.
Tang San’s brow furrowed slightly, "Here?"
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor understood his meaning from his gaze, thought for a moment, then said, "It can be done here." While speaking, he raised his right hand, and in an instant, his whole aura surged, standing as tall and majestic as a towering mountain.
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor was still in the same guise, but to Tang San and Pretty Girl, it felt as if a mountain peak had appeared before them, a mountain of swords.
Everything around them seemed to no longer exist, and they stood as if in a wilderness, with only the towering mountain of swords before them.

"Good, then please bestow your teachings, Your Excellency."
While speaking, Tang San slowly closed his eyes, as did Pretty Girl behind him.
The next moment, it seemed as if their auras fused in an instant.
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor watched them intently, sensing that both Pretty Girl and Tang San were undergoing transformations.
Tang San stood there, straight as a blade, his aura seemingly without change, yet now with an added layer of focus. Boundless majesty surged forth, vast energy converging towards him from all directions.
Yet this energy was like nothing the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor had ever encountered before. Grand and righteous, supremely yang and firm.
With the gathering of this energy, the authority emanating from Tang San grew ever more potent, and his entire being seemed connected to heaven and earth. Even in that instant, the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor felt that Tang San stood taller and more prominent than his own mountain of swords.
At that moment, Tang San was like a being that reached up to the heavens and down through the earth, his entire body filled with an extremely peculiar aura, one that the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor had never seen before. This aura permeated, condensed, and intensified, and also ascended.
Tang San, with merely rank 10 cultivation base, was continuously elevating under the infusion of this aura, and in a trance, it seemed as if he had transcended the bounds of power, still soaring upwards.
This was...
Why was this happening? What was going on with him? What kind of transformation was happening?
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor’s eyes shone brightly, precisely because he had never seen such an aura, such energy, that it aroused his interest even more. In this world, there were very few things that could pique his interest, yet Tang San at this moment had truly captivated him.
