ENLIGHTENMENT AND CHANGES

Tang Hao came back with disheveled Tang Xiao after few minutes till then Tang brothers also stood up but were breathing heavily and have retrieved their Domains and spirits, then the trance of the crowd was also broken. The crowd started cheering and clapping. Even the elders were clapping and nodding their heads. The crowd could believe that two Spirit emperors not only forced their sect master a Super Douluo to not only summon their avatars but also broke through his Clear Sky Hammer Avatar.

Tang Xiao raised his right hand, clapping and cheering ended. He went forward to brothers and said: "You both are tremendously talented, I decided to asses to see your limits but you both didn't go all out, even so, you passed my assessment."

Tang Chen bowed and said: "Uncle you're praising us too much if you were serious fight wouldn't last few minutes much less two hours." Tang San just nodded at the side. During the fight both brothers realized how far they were from peak powerhouses of the continent. Tang Xiao was mostly defending and not attacking. Even though both brothers didn't go all out and haven't used all their spiritual or Tang Sect techniques or spirit bone or hidden weapons, It wouldn't have made any difference if there was an enemy instead of Tang Xiao they would be dead.

Tang Xiao was happy with how courteous and humble his nephews were. They didn't let success go to their head. he just nodded at the reply. The crowd then scattered and Tang brothers went with their family and Xiao Wu to their house at sect. Tang Chen immediately opened his magical space and invited everyone there. Tang Chen then cooked lunch and told the rest that tell others that he and Tang San were going for some close door cultivation for sometimes, not only breakthrough to 70 ranks but this fight has also let him understand many things and he was going to contemplate it. Tang Hao and Ah Yin left the space after lunch but Xiao Wu decided to stay there.

The brothers then sat cross-legged and began meditating after a few hours later he shook and then sat still as stone and his breathing became slow. He had completely forgotten about his whereabouts. He had a euphony and he entered the state of enlightenment. He just sat there. Tang San woke up the next day and then he and Xiao Wu waited for him to wake up but when he didn't wake up till noon the checked and saw his condition. Xiao Wu was worried but Tang San told her what Tang Chen was going through as he read it in the records in his previous life. He was happy for his brother as he knew enlightenment can be only obtained through Chane and cannot be forced.

Days begin to pass soon 5 months have passed. Tang San has formed his core and broke through Rank 70 but didn't go hunting or gain a ring. Both him and Xiao Wu were silently guarding Tang Chen and was waiting for him to wake up. In these months they only hunted beasts to cook and eat. Tang Chen has always had an ample amount of water and cooking utensils in space since they spent most of their time here. Tang San used herbs in the space to make a special liquid for Tang Chen to take when he will wake up. Tang Chen was still sitting there but has grown slim his clothes were now loose on him. He also had a black substance accumulating and forming a layer on him.

Tang Chen was internally going through change, even his body seems shrinking, his bone marrow, bones, meridians, passages, and muscles were changing. His whole internal organs were changing from normal color to golden color even his all eight Extraordinary Meridians were opened. His spiritual lake has now changed into a sea. His blood was also changing it didn't become golden but now was bright red. Even his spirit power became golden colored. His transformation was going to take months. Tang Chen couldn't perceive these changes as he was still in an enlightenment state. His internal body was going through these changes because he had accumulated enough and was going to break through to rank 70. The changes are happening now because of four things 1st his initiate body strength form his wishes and Gold of life, 2nd the golden fruit, 3rd He was going to breakthrough Rank 70 with absolute strength spirit and 4th Because of the core of adult golden-scaled Dragon beasts. His initiate strength wishes with the gold of life were making it possible for him to have these changes while golden fruit helps him to easily form his core. His body is going through these changes now was primarily because of the Absolute strength attribute Spirit. Even compared to other Absolute powers like cold, fire, etc Absolute strength was most coveted and difficult as having this attribute in the spirit helps spirit master to gain amazing body but most spirit master can't go through changes and die during the process as it is a long and excruciating process and the spirit masters didn't have required life energy or willpower to go through the changes. Tang Chen was lucky to have Gold of life and Sudden enlightenment as he was atleast not feeling the pain. And Lastly, though Tang Chen absorbed the core of adult dragon earlier he didn't completely absorb it as even in DD2 Darkness Dragon Douluo has to make Hua Yuhao completely physically and mentally weak and vulnerable to have the core, Tang Chen's that moment was now it is either this or he has to slowly absorb the core over a long duration of time.

One more month has passed the transformation was now complete. Even Tang San and Xiao Wu can see the changes in Tang Chen, his loose cloth was now back to normal, the black layer on him have cracked they can see the baby pink color skin on his face and hands, his body now seemed to radiate a golden glow and there were several golden streaks on his black hair. Tang Chen's body trembled and some black layer on him fell down. Then a loud cracking sound was heard from him and his spirit power seemed to churn and rotate. His body was completely covered in golden light, Tang San and Xiao Wu saw that and smiled they he was going to have his breakthrough as Tang San had gone through a similar process and but they weren't sure if he will wake up or not.

The phenomenon stopped and they can feel that he has broken through. After some time his eyelids and lashes trembled he partially opened his eyes only to see both Tang San And Xiao Wu were looking at him. Seeing him woke up Tang san quickly opened his mouth put early prepared nourishing liquid in his mouth. Tang Chen smiled and pointed his hand to ice-fire yin yang well. Tang San understood, he then removed Tang Chen's spirit tool from him then picked him, took him to well, and submersed him at the center of well. Both brothers were immune to its heat or cold, it will mostly help Tang Chen to bath and remove the black layer on him. Xiao Wu didn't go with them and was waiting for their return. After Submerging Tang Chen, Tang San took our a set of fresh clothes from it and placed it at the side of well. He then returned to Xiao Wu. After half an hour Tang Chen came back wearing his new set of clothes.

He has seen his changes and was very happy about it his physical strength was atleast 4 times as before. Even his spirits seem to change his blue silver spirit now has a golden stem in it instead of the usual blue and his Hammer spirit was completely dark golden colored instead of golden black in the past, it has same dimensions and specs but a more pronounced pattern of Clear Sky and Deathgod Domain, the dragon on it seemed almost alive and now it weighs 12 tons four times than before as it reached 3 tons when he was rank 69 spirit emperor and he didn't even add the most important seventh ring yet. His all spirit rings of both spirits now have a golden pattern on them, His fifth ring of Blue silver supreme ruler spirit also turned red, indicating completion of the transformation and him becoming a Spirit Saint. These were only physical and outer changes his inner changes weren't any less shocking. He seemed to reach the peak of the boundless realm another step can only be a divine realm. His whole internal body was also enhanced because of enlightenment his intents were at peak accomplishment. He even can use Sovereign Fist Descend easily let alone his self created intents. He even with just his physical body can be an adversary to a rank 91-92 Doulou.

He came back to his brother and sister and told them about his changes, they congratulated him said they were happy for him. They then left the space. Seeing them at the compound, the sect disciples congratulated them as everyone knew both brothers went to seclusion to Breakthrough Rank 70 and told them the whereabouts of their parents. The trio went there and met Tang Hao and Ah Yin and told them about their experiences in the space. Their Family also congratulated them. Then Tang Hao told the disciple near them to inform sect master and elders that his sons have finished their seclusion.

After some time the disciple came back and respectfully told them that sect master has told them to go to the meeting room as they have something to tell them. He told them sect master has only called them were called and Xiao Wu can relax in the quarter and wait for their return. Xiao Wu agreed before Tang brothers can say something. The family went to the meeting room and Tang Hao and Ah Yin Went to their seat. Tang brothers greeted everyone there as before. Everybody took their seat only Tang brothers were standing at the center of the room. Tang Xiao then Stood up and said: "You both brothers are very talented at such a young age you became Spirit Saint. There are only a few things sect can teach you now. I have assessed you both 6 months ago to decide the heir of Clan among you but was unable to come at any conclusion, both of you are equally talented. So I leave the decision to you to decide who will become the heir of the clan and inherit the title of Clear Sky in the future. But I can say both of you are qualified to learn the secret techniques of one who inherit the title of Clear Sky. but only one of you will able to learn the secret techniques and other techniques under the guidance of your father as he only knows them and it is a tradition since the establishment of the sect. So which one of you will Heir to the clan and Clear Sky title?"

Tang San Stepped forward and said: "Uncle we are honored for getting such opportunity. But I would like to decline and nominate my elder brother to have such title as it seemed to be fate that he has the same name as great-grandfather who has passed down this title to dad. As you all know we have created Tang Sect together back when we are at academy, but you didn't know that it was this junior's idea so junior has to take its mantle. They are completely different sects but the junior will always remember himself as a member of Clear Sky Sect and will try to soothe the relationship and lead its once subsidiary clan to prosperity and help the sect to amend for any dissatisfaction and misunderstanding with those clans." Tang Chen was happy with the way his younger brother commanded the language and presented it in front of the council. Tang San fist invoke nostalgia and sentiment in everybody present there by comparing Tang Chen's name to his great-grandfather's name as work of fate then told them he not only rejected to became another heir of the clan but told then that he will be sect master of the completely different sect who don't want to be part of clear sky sect again. One year of etiquette training has done wonders for his brother. Not only he but Tang Yue Hua was also smiling all of Tang San's words and command on the language, it was only because of her teaching that he was able to do that her chest puffed up with pride, hearing and seeing how Tang San was handling the situation. She also remembers how when Tang San Came for the first time to the sect, he was straight forward and somewhat crude. She has molded that tactless and brash youth to what he is today. She hasn't returned to Moon Pavillion yet as the announcement of clan heir was a big deal for the sect and as sect elder and Sect Master's and Tang Hao's sister, she has to be there. Originally it was going to be announced the next day but due to Tang Chen and San entered in seclusion it was delayed 6 months. She decided to stay rather than going and coming back again. She was also now 38th rank Grandmaster.

Tang Chen then stepped forward before anyone can say anything about the Tang Sect, he didn't give any elder that chance. He knelt down and said: " I will be honored to have this opportunity and I will help the clan in any way possible."

Tang Xiao and Elders know what was happening but decided to ignore it and focus on Tang Chen as the know both brothers were loyal to each other and Tang Chen has become Sect's heir so they don't have to worry about Tang San or Tang Sect. Tang Xiao was just about to announce and proceed with the ceremony when a man in black clothes and a mask entered the hall. They all were shocked as to how this man came so far without alerting anybody. They all stood up and released his pressure on that man.

Black Clothed man completely ignored their pressure and said: "Want to announce heir to the clan and Clear Sky Title, have you asked my permission?"
