Chapter Seventy-Five: Tang Song's Speculation

  "The elder means we should enter Anshan Martial Institute under the pretext of catching the murderer?" Bai Xuanzhang somewhat understood.

  "Not bad, today we'll make a move on An Jia's household. I'm sure he won't just commit a crime for no reason. So, this gives us the perfect opportunity to openly enter An Shan Martial Institute and capture him. Then, we can observe the High Tower Treasure at close range."

  Bai Xuan Zhang immediately conceded, saying: "The elder's concerns are indeed far beyond what we can achieve."

  "You must remember, a small country like Anshan is not worth our attention, but there are many eyes fixed on Anshan, far beyond just our White family. We cannot let other forces find an excuse to intervene, the treasure of Anshan can only belong to our White family."

  Bai Xuanchang and Bai Xuanhong both knew the value of the treasure, so they naturally didn't dare to ruin the plan set by the elder.

  "Then, Elder, when do you think it would be a good time for us to make a trip to Anshan?" Bai Xuan Zhang accepted the lesson and was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would ruin the elder's plan again, which would be unforgivable.

  Bai Xuan furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's wait two more days. Give the An family some buffer time. After two days, they won't have any excuses to stop us from entering the An Mountain Martial Institute to capture people."

  Bai Xuanchang flattered: "As expected of the elder, every step has been carefully planned and is flawless."

  After leaving the White family, An Jia and his son went to the Anshan Martial Arts Institute together. However, after entering the institute, they parted ways - An Shizi went to find Tang Song, while An Maosong headed for the High Tower.

  Anmou Song originally thought that the Bai family would not make a move at the banquet, no matter how anxious they were, but he misjudged their tolerance. They actually made a move against him as soon as the banquet began.

  So Anmao Song directly retreated and came to discuss with all the elders what to do next.

  Now he also hesitated a bit, in order to protect Tang Song and offend the White family, is it really worth it?

  All along, there was a master named Tang Song, but it was only hearsay and had never actually seen him.

  If possible, An Muxiang wants to meet Tang Song's master to put his family at ease.

  However, he needs to get the consent of the Council of Elders for this matter, so after leaving the White House, he rushed straight to the Martial Institute.

  The ninth floor of the high tower, An Mouxiong directly came here. In the An family, apart from a few elders guarding the high tower, An Mouxiong was one of the few members of the An family who could come to the ninth floor directly.

  Another one is An Shengwu, who was once entrusted by An Su to secretly protect Tang Song.

  In fact, he was the oldest among the An family elders, but because of his worldly experience and eccentric personality, he rarely stayed in the An Mountain royal capital, so outsiders were unaware of the existence of this elder.

  Anmousong met with the three elders and directly stated his intention, quietly waiting for their response.

  The three elders pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in their minds. In the end, they shook their heads and said, "No need to, since we've already chosen to believe in Tang Song, then we should believe it through and through."

  Anmousong didn't know where the three elders got their confidence from, but since they said so, Anmousong wouldn't oppose them and had to return to the palace again.

  An Shizi arrived at Tang Song's courtyard and saw Tang Song, directly telling him about the situation with tonight's banquet.

  Tang Song muttered to himself: "It seems their purpose for this trip is indeed not that simple."

  "What did you say?" An Shizi didn't hear very clearly.

  Tang Song looked at him and decided to tell him. "Young Master, I think the purpose of the White family's master coming here is not just as simple as picking someone up."

  An Shizi was taken aback, this was the first time he had heard such a statement. He couldn't help but ask in doubt: "Then what are they doing here? A great master of the late Wu Zong period and two high-ranking masters of the Wu Zong level, could it be that they're so free that they have nothing better to do, so they came out to take a stroll?"

  "How is that possible? A master of the Wu Zong level, which one isn't in a rush to cultivate and seize every second? How can they possibly have nothing better to do than come out for some fresh air? Moreover, the cultivation conditions in An Shan Guo are definitely inferior to those in Pan Long Empire. Even if they were looking for some fresh air, they wouldn't run to such a backward place."

  Tang Song is very affirmative.

  "What are they here for then? Is there something in our Anshan country that can move their hearts?"

  "Huh?" Tang Song hesitated for a moment, reminded by An Shizi's last sentence. Since the master of the White family came to Anshan State not to pick someone up, then it must be to search for treasure.

  In the entire state of Anshan, there were only two precious artifacts. One was in the hands of Laozu of the Ji family in Hengyang City, and the other belonged to the royal family of Anshan.

  For years, the Qis of Hengyang City have lived in harmony with the world, and many people know that the old ancestor of the Qi family has a precious artifact. However, for decades, no one has ever had the intention of taking the artifact from the old ancestor's hands.

  In the past, Tang Song didn't think much of it, but now it's different. Unexpectedly, no one has any ill intentions towards the precious instrument in Old Master Ji's hands. This is indeed beyond reason. It seems that Old Master Ji also has secrets hidden on him.

  The Bai family cannot have the intention of taking the precious artifact from Laozu's hands at this time. If they wanted to make a move, they would have done so long ago.

  So their goal might be An Jia's treasure.

  Tang Song was shocked and hastily said: "Young Master, quickly tell your father the king that this time the White family's goal may be the precious artifact of the An family."

  "What?" An Shizi was shocked, and immediately shook his head: "Impossible, Tang Song, whatever you say I won't oppose, but on this point, I can tell you very certainly, absolutely impossible."

  Tang Song was very surprised, how could An Shizi be so certain that the Bai family members were not after the An family's treasure.

  "Why?"

  An Shizi hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Tang Song, this matter is a secret of the An family. Apart from the elders, only my father and I know about it. I'm telling you now, hoping that you can keep it confidential."

  After Tang Song nodded, An Shizi continued: "Tang Song, did you know? The treasure of the An family is that tall tower."

  Tang Song followed the direction pointed by An Shizi, where was the location of the library of An Shan Wu Yuan and also the location of the secret realm of An Shan.

  "Is that a treasure?" Tang Song almost bit his tongue, the result was really beyond his expectation. He had never thought of this at all, he had been in and out of the tower several times, and had never thought that the tower would be a treasure.

  An Shizi nodded, his expression serious: "That's right, and it's a treasure of no low grade. What specific grade it is, isn't something I can know. Do you know why for so many years, everyone knows that our An family has this treasure, yet no one comes to seize it?"

  Tang Song shook his head, which was exactly where he was puzzled.

  An Shizi said: "Because An family's treasure and secret realm have merged together."

  Ah!

  Tang Song almost bit his tongue again, "Fused together?"

  Can this treasure merge with the secret realm?

  "Generally speaking, it's impossible for a treasure to merge with the Secret Realm, but our ancestor, An Shan Old King, managed to do so. This is also the reason why the An family's treasure has been preserved until now. If the Bai family wants to seize the treasure, they must first separate it from the Secret Realm; otherwise, even if they succeed in seizing it, it will be nothing but a useless object."

  Tang Song remembered that An Shizi had said before that the An Mountain Secret Realm could only be opened by people with the An family bloodline. In other words, the treasure in the high tower could also only be used by people with the An family bloodline.

  Without a bloodline of tranquility, without separating the secret realm and the treasure instrument, this high tower treasure instrument is indeed just a useless object.

  But the Bai family didn't rush for the treasure, what was their purpose in coming here?

  Is it really just coming to pick up Bai Yang, that so-called "genius"?

  No matter whether others believe it or not, Tang Song doesn't believe it anyway.

  An Shizi chatted with him for a while and then reminded Tang Song that it was best to stay in the Wu Institute during this period before leaving.

  After sending off An Shizi, Tang Song once again entered a state of cultivation. He had to break through to the mid-term Wu Shi as soon as possible, so that after displaying the Three Lives Wheel of Rebirth, he would have the qualifications to fight against the late-stage Wu Zong masters.

  The body, two great incarnations fully activate the three cycles of reincarnation. Remember, absorb and refine the heavenly and earthly primordial energy.

  Tang Song had also tried to use the Three Lives Wheel of Rebirth secret method to comprehend the realm of Dharma, unfortunately, he didn't know if it was because the time supported by the secret method was too short or his own realm wasn't enough, anyway, he couldn't get a grasp on it at all.

  With his main body and two avatars combined, he can comprehend the laws of five attributes: water, fire, lightning, yin, and yang.

  The Ultimateless gives rise to the Supreme Polarity, the Supreme Polarity gives rise to the Two Forms. The true energy of the Two Forms is precisely the energy of yin and yang.

  Among them, water and fire attributes are relatively easier to understand. Thunder is more difficult to comprehend due to its special nature.

  As for the yin and yang, it's even more difficult.

  Yin and Yang transform into the Five Elements. Yin and Yang are the foundation of the Five Elements. If one can comprehend the properties of the Five Elements, and then further comprehend which ones belong to Yin and Yang, perhaps there will be unexpected effects.

  But these are still far from Tang and Song dynasties.

  He can't even comprehend the realm of water and fire attribute laws now.

  When a martial artist breaks through to the realm of Wu Zong, it is the realization of the law and intent. Only by realizing the law and intent can one break through to the realm of Wu Zong, which is also why strong Wu Zong practitioners can be called masters of the martial way.

  Innumerable warriors were blocked by this great mountain on the road of martial arts, its difficulty was like a thousand troops crossing a single-log bridge, among a thousand strong men who had achieved the Great Perfection of Martial Spirit, it would be good if three to five of them could get through.

  The difficulty was too great, so Tang Song had no choice but to temporarily give up and focus on breaking through the boundaries of his own body.

  Compared to others, breaking through to the middle stage of Martial Artist doesn't have any major hurdles, as long as one's true energy is sufficient, they can advance.

  And with the breakthrough experience of having two major avatars, it's even easier.

  Time flies, and one quiet night has passed.

  The next day, the eyes of all the families in Wangdu were focused on the Bai family, waiting for their reaction. They naturally wouldn't think that yesterday's events would pass like this, and today the Bai family must make a move.

  They also didn't dare guess how the Bai family would retaliate against the An family this time.
