Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 924 - 922: The Battle for the Throne
Ancestral Court, White Tiger Grand Hotel.
Silver light twinkled; when Tang San reappeared within the top-floor Teleportation Array, his face still bore a faint smile, and he was enveloped with her scent, a truly wonderful feeling indeed.
"You really do treat this place as your personal teleportation gate!" A familiar voice rang out.
Tang San smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I, when you are the person we trust most?"
Without looking, he knew who the owner of the voice was. Departing from here, others may not notice, but as the master of this place, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor would definitely be able to detect it.
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor looked at Tang San with some surprise; this youngster seemed to have changed again, that subdued aura made even his cultivation base somewhat unable to see through Tang San's true strength.
"Have you improved again? Your rate of improvement is really too fast," the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor couldn't help but say.
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, I've had some good encounters recently."
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor asked, "You were already in the Ancestral Court before, where did you teleport from here?"
Tang San answered, "I naturally went back to see Little Beauty. I've been traveling outside for a while, looking for some opportunities. As someone who's been through it, you know that to become an Emperor, relying solely on pure cultivation won't suffice. One needs some external stimuli to gain more enlightenment and to prepare for becoming an Emperor in the future."
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor couldn't help but say, "You've only become a Great Demon King for a few days, and you're already thinking about becoming an Emperor?"
Tang San bitterly smiled and said, "I don't want to rush, but time waits for no one! Little Beauty is being forced into a martial arts marriage competition. If I don't work harder, I might lose my wife."
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really going to participate in the martial arts marriage competition?"
Tang San nodded, "In this world, there's nothing more important to me than Little Beauty. Even the meaning of my life is for her. So no matter what difficulties and dangers lie ahead, I must participate in this marriage competition."
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's expression became more serious, "You had better think it through. This marriage competition is no ordinary event; it involves the succession of Emperors. The Heavenly Fox Clan is planning to make a big move in this competition. The scale of this competition is bigger than you imagine. Nearly all the genius level Great Demon Kings and Great Spirit Kings from various races will participate. All Emperors will personally witness it. At that time, it will be hard for you to conceal your abilities. And once discovered, you know the consequences. Even I cannot protect you."
Tang San furrowed his brow, "Is it that large-scale?"
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor explained, "When it comes to becoming an Emperor, who wouldn't be tempted? You should know that the number of Emperors that can be born throughout the entire plane is limited. How rare is this opportunity? If it weren't for the Crystal Great Demon Emperor's fall, and recently the Diamond Elf King as well, those geniuses from various tribes would have no chance to become Emperors, only to wait. And wait possibly till the end of their lifespan. After all, at rank 11, one lives only up to eight hundred or a thousand years at most. Yet a powerful being like the Crystal Great Demon Emperor lived to be three thousand. Becoming an Emperor means at least a thousand years' extension of lifespan. Who wouldn't be tempted? And this time, even more seats are available. So, this marriage competition is no longer just about martial challenges, it's also the time for geniuses of all races to show themselves. It will definitely be about whose abilities are stronger, who may gain the support of their race, or even the favor of an Emperor, before securing an Emperor's position in the end. Therefore, this competition has internally become a battle for the throne."
Tang San suddenly realized, although he had some suspicions before, he didn't expect the current importance to have risen to such an extent, "No wonder Ancestral Court sent Little Beauty to attend the martial competition for a marriage alliance here. She had refused before, but what if she doesn't come?"
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "She can't refuse. If she truly refuses, it would be tantamount to cutting off her own path to becoming an Emperor. In the Tianyu Empire, she's not the only one with an opportunity to become an Emperor; such talents are not rare among the clans. If she isn't willing to come to the Ancestral Court, it's equivalent to her giving up. The final champion of the competition will still become her husband, and she will lose the chance to ascend to the throne. Not only does she have to come, but she also needs to prove herself worthy of the title of Emperor during this marriage alliance competition. So, both Undying Great Demon Emperor and I will persuade her to come; she can't miss this opportunity."
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "Rest assured, I just talked to her and asked her to agree to come to Ancestral Court. I had thought of some of the things you mentioned, just not that the situation has become so critical."
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor spoke with a serious tone, "The situation is even more important than you think. Even some talented individuals from different clans who have been in seclusion for many years are emerging this time to seize this opportunity. Almost all of these clan geniuses could potentially inherit the throne, and the reason they remained in seclusion is to extend their lifespans. Now they have emerged, hoping to inherit the throne if the opportunity arises, with some even at Great Demon King Peak level. Although you are very strong, it would be difficult to win if you can't use all of your bloodline abilities, not to mention that you are a human."
Tang San's expression turned contemplative, and after a while, he spoke firmly, "It seems that I really do need some help from you."
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor said, "I'm afraid that's difficult. I can't help you with your human identity. Little Beauty told me that you want to compete as the Sea God's Messenger, which is also troublesome. Whether the Sea God exists or not, it doesn't belong to Demon Monster Land. Merely the identity of an ally of Jiali City, I'm afraid the Emperors won't recognize it. Even if you can participate in the competition, you will become the target of all eyes, and winning in the end may not ensure your success in marrying Little Beauty. It might even negatively affect Little Beauty's claim to the throne."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "What about this identity?" As he spoke, a blue light surged on his body, spikes emerged from his back, and his figure underwent slight changes, transforming in an instant into a different appearance.
Even with the cultivation of the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor, his divine consciousness erupted like a stimulated reaction, his own presence surging and pressing down on Tang San.
A blue-golden halo burst forth, barely assimilating the oppressive aura from the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor and turning it into a blue glow that reverberated around his body.
"Grandfather, don't panic," said Tang San helplessly.
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief, even his pupils shrank. It took a long while before he was able to speak, overwhelmed with shock.
"You, you... You're too bold. You..." White Tiger Great Demon Emperor didn't even know what to say.
Well, he had just met this person not long ago—the newly appointed patriarch from the Blue Golden Tree Clan of Jianmu City, who came to the Ancestral Court to report for duty and was regarded by the Tianyang Spirit King as the Little Tree Ancestor.
Yet, he never could have imagined that this new patriarch of Blue Golden Tree Clan was actually an imposter, and what's more, it was Tang San who was impersonating him. This was too bold, and too unbelievable.
The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor was fully aware of the enmity between Tang San and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. Wasn't he afraid of being exposed by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox?
He had accompanied Pretty Girl to report for duty before, and that had already thrown the Ancestral Court into chaos, even shaking the foundation of the Heavenly Fox Clan. Now, he had transformed himself, taking on the identity of the Spirit Monster Clan and becoming the leader of a clan, radiating with the glory of the Tree Ancestor, and coming here to report for duty himself, which was utterly unbelievable.
Tang San maintained his smile throughout, with an innocent look he said, "I didn't, I had no choice. I was traveling, right? When I arrived at the Blue Golden Tree Clan's Jianmu City, the appearance I took on made them believe I was a direct bloodline descendant of the Tree Ancestor, and then I became the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan."
