Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 591: The Role of Amethystine Coins

Therefore, the Holy Blaze Saber recognized its master so swiftly and directly it was unbelievable. It integrated itself into Mei Gongzi's sea of consciousness, allowing her to fully merge with it immediately.

Mei Gongzi's spiritual power continued to surge, and as it surged, it was rapidly compressed under the influence of the Holy Blaze Saber. This newly integrated divine weapon directly became the guardian of her sea of consciousness, continuously elevating and enhancing her spiritual power.

This was no longer just a weapon for battle; more importantly, it was an aid to her sea of consciousness, a part of her spirit. Even though it was a divine item of the lowest tier, the transformation it brought about by fully integrating into her body with no resistance was enormous. Mei Gongzi's spirit core began to undergo a transformation, and some divine consciousness started to emerge.

With the eyes of her consciousness, she saw a faint red glow flickering within her spirit core. This was the first time she had noticed it. That faint red glow seemed to sense the transformation of her spiritual power, becoming noticeably brighter.

The Holy Blaze Saber seemed to sense the aura of that faint red glow and quivered for a moment. In the next instant, it became even more stable and then transformed into a vast red light that filled the sea of consciousness, all rushing toward the spirit core as if it had found its destiny, like rivers converging into the sea!

Tang San quietly placed his right hand on Mei Gongzi's forehead, silently sensing her changes, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Tears of emotion were indeed the best way to let such a spiritual divine weapon recognize its master, and the effect was even better than he had expected.

One by one, amethystine coins silently floated up, hovering around Mei Gongzi and emitting a faint purple halo.

Outside, the Peacock Great Demon King was maintaining a spatial barrier that isolated the room from the outside world. At this moment, he too sensed something and cast his gaze toward the cultivation room, only to see at least fifty amethystine coins floating in the air.

The corners of the Peacock Great Demon King's mouth twitched. Even though he controlled the extremely wealthy Aetherhorn Merchant Association, he would never be willing to use so many amethystine coins for cultivation!

The reason amethystine coins were so precious was that they were used to nurture divine consciousness. Yes, divine consciousness! Therefore, only god-level experts found it meaningful to use amethystine coins for cultivation.

But the production of amethystine coins was so low that very few could actually afford to use them for cultivation. Even Emperors were the same. For example, one of the poorest Emperors, the Sword Saint Demon Emperor, would never be willing to use amethystine coins for cultivation. Most of his allocation from the Ancestral Court went to support the Red-Crowned Cranes.

The Red-Crowned Cranes were almost all martial fanatics and were not skilled in business. It was normal for them to be poor. Otherwise, how would they have been unable to redeem the Red-Crested Divine Sword after so many years?

This time, the Sword Saint Demon Emperor had put in great effort to get the Ancestral Court to offer the Red-Crested Divine Sword as a reward, only to have it snatched away by Tang San.

And even among the Emperors that could afford it, nobody would use more than ten amethystine coins at a time, and they wouldn’t do that every day. Who would use fifty amethystine coins to help others cultivate?

Wait, those are for nurturing divine consciousness! Could it be that...?

The Peacock Great Demon King's perception of Tang San changed further. What was the origin of this human? Could the Redemption Society really cultivate such a being? If the Redemption Society could really produce a few more like him, humanity might truly rise! Allowing the Redemption Society to operate in Kali City—was it really good for the demon race? After all, humans were so numerous!

Forget it, no need to think so much. Life’s short anyway, might as well enjoy the show. My successor even has human blood, so there’s no point acting against humans.

The amethystine coins emitted a faint purple halo, a strange, ethereal light. The soft purple hue it radiated gave off a very peculiar feeling. This purple light was gentle yet firm, and the radiance it emitted was very peaceful. Silently, it flowed into Mei Gongzi's forehead, being absorbed by her sea of consciousness.

Tang San's own eyes also lit up, and purple light flickered within as he absorbed the energy from the amethystine coins in the air.

This was a unique energy capable of nurturing divine consciousness. Tang San could clearly feel his divine consciousness in his spirit core being influenced and slowly growing stronger!

His spirit core was running at full blast, and it was absorbing the energy with all its might to strengthen his divine consciousness.

Facing a potentially deadly danger, he couldn't care less about exposing some of his abilities in front of the Peacock Great Demon King.

Tang San's spirit core absorbed the purple energy like a bottomless abyss, at a speed at least ten times faster than Mei Gongzi's. The amethystine coins floating in the air quickly lost their color, and when their internal energy was completely depleted, they silently turned to dust.

Through absorption, Tang San discovered that the energy within the amethystine coins was somewhat similar to the divine spirit energy of the Divine Realm, but not quite the same. It also contained some strange spiritual fluctuations and will, seemingly related to the planar ruler of this world. It was a very unique and peculiar thing.

In any case, this was extremely beneficial to the restoration of his divine consciousness, and it was why Tang San wanted that huge piece of amethystine.

No divine weapon could compare to the benefits of strengthening his own divine consciousness. After absorbing the Wind Dragon bloodline, which caused his body to evolve again, his endurance also increased. Although he had not yet become a god, the restoration of his divine consciousness had been going somewhat faster.

However, it was only somewhat. He lacked a direct source to replenish his divine consciousness, and he was relying only on the conversion of spiritual power. This was something that could not be done directly, and neither could it be sped up; the conversion rate from spiritual power to divine consciousness was extremely low, so even though his spiritual power was immense and its cultivation was fast, his divine consciousness could only recover slowly.

Now, the amethystine coins provided the nutrients most needed by his divine consciousness. The more Tang San's divine consciousness recovered, the more memories and abilities from his past life would be restored. And although his body was not at the god level yet, during the process of absorbing the amethystine coin's energy, he was invisibly restoring his God King level divine consciousness.

The amethystine coins were rapidly consumed; in just two hours, the two hundred coins were no more. Ninety percent of the energy had been absorbed by Tang San, while Mei Gongzi, who was still merging with the Holy Blaze Saber, only consumed ten percent. Of this energy, most was devoured by the red glow in her spirit core.

Damn, these amethystine coins are truly wonderful!

Tang San took a deep breath, feeling the divine consciousness in his sea of consciousness grow more than twice its original size, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Of course, he also understood that the value of the amethystine coins he had absorbed could probably afford him a divine item or two. He just had to figure out where the Ancestral Court's amethystine mines were located, or at least where they created these coins! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Due to the changes in his divine consciousness, Tang San's divine sense was also significantly elevated, and he was now vaguely sensing many things he couldn't perceive before. But looking at the huge amethystine crystal in front of him, Tang San decided to refrain for now. After all, he was not yet at the god level. No matter how massive his sea of consciousness was or how well he could control it, he couldn't allow his divine consciousness to grow too strong before he became a god. That would lead to the collapse of his sea of consciousness.

His divine consciousness was right now at the strongest level he could contain within his sea of consciousness before breaking through.

Focusing on his divine consciousness, Tang San silently felt the changes it had undergone. His sea of consciousness rippled quietly, and he immersed himself in meditation, delving into the memories from his past life.
