Since he could hear the sounds but feel no pain, that kind of not knowing what was about to happen, that fear wrapped around Tang Rao; even someone like Tang Rao, who wasn't afraid, started to feel scared.
"These liquids will carry tiny particles into your body. These tiny particles are the memories I've sealed for you each time. In order not to let the Heavenly Dao discover it, this is the only way I can do it."
Tang Rao was already sitting inside, and the memories were slowly drilling into his body. Now that he had a moment of idleness, Tang Lei became talkative; he even explained clearly how to use these Magic Artifacts, down to every detail.
"The electric grid above comes with the Magic Artifact itself. It's called the Heavenly Net. The Heavenly Dao can sense the entire Divine Realm, but everything that happens inside the Heavenly Net is the one thing it cannot sense. If I want to help you retrieve your lost memories without being discovered, I can only put you inside the Heavenly Net to do it."
Heavenly Net?
So that was the name of this Magic Artifact?
Even the Heavenly Dao couldn't sense what was inside; that proved this thing's quality had to be excellent. Tang Rao developed a strong interest in this thing that could deceive the heavens and cross the sea.
"When will my memories be fully restored? Once all these tiny particles enter my body, that's it?"
Tang Rao had no experience. All he could see was those glowing little things beginning to drill into his body, and the moment they entered, they disappeared right under his eyelids.
The entire wooden tub was filled with tiny particles. Whether his body could handle it if all these particles entered was still an unknown.
"Mm, once these particles have completely entered your body, I'll use a Secret Technique to activate them, and then it'll be done."
So what he thought—that as long as the particles entered his body, the memories would be restored—was just his own imagination. In reality, to fully regain his memories still depended on Tang Lei's real skills.
"So troublesome!"
Complain as he might, when Tang Rao got bored, he started observing how these tiny particles were entering his body.
For a full three days, as the particles grew fewer and fewer, the liquid went from viscous to thin, and later, slowly turned into a tub of clear water.
During these three days, he neither ate nor drank, yet didn't feel hungry, and his body didn't feel the discomfort he had imagined. As for the particles entering his body, he didn't feel anything either.
"Dad, look, there shouldn't be any particles left in this water, right?"
Tang Rao woke Tang Lei up.
Tang Lei had watched over Tang Rao for three days and hadn't left even once. When he heard Tang Rao calling him, Tang Lei immediately opened his eyes and helped him check.
"Alright, no problem."
The particles had already entered his body; once this Heavenly Net was withdrawn, the Heavenly Dao also wouldn't be able to sense anything.
"You can come out now."
Tang Rao obediently jumped out from inside. When he came out, the liquid on his body had all dried up, as if it had never existed.
"Hold out your hand."
Huh, why do both his dad and his sister like to ask for his hand?
Could it be that Tang Rao's hands were so good-looking that everyone wanted to touch them twice?
Tang Rao's YY power was strong; he dared to imagine anything. But when he looked up at Tang Lei's expression, he was dumbfounded.
"No wonder your strength hasn't improved. That smart brain of yours hasn't been used on the right path at all!"
That was how Tang Lei described Tang Rao. He was admitting that his brain worked well, that he was smart—wasn't that a roundabout way of acknowledging Tang Rao?
Tang Rao only had time to think that far when Tang Lei had already grabbed his hand and began using Immortal Energy as a medium, channeling some kind of thing Tang Rao had never sensed before into his body.
"Focus your mind and sense the particles inside your body. From the bottom of your heart, try to sense these things. Let them naturally become one with you. When you're accepting them, you also have to persuade them to accept you."
Tang Lei began guiding Tang Rao head-on, letting Tang Rao recognize his past memories. It sounded like a simple process, but only when he tried it himself did he realize how extremely difficult it actually was.
At first, because they were both too unfamiliar with each other, whenever Tang Rao got close to these particles, they immediately bounced away, like they'd seen a devil when they saw Tang Rao. Tang Rao wanted to scare these little things a bit, but he was afraid that once he frightened them, they'd be even less willing to let him get close.
"Dad, the moment I get near, these little things hide. There's no way to get them close to me!"
He was just short of taking out something tasty to lure them. After watching himself try over and over again and fail over and over again, Tang Rao gradually started to lose heart.
"Release Immortal Energy and let them follow the Immortal Energy to approach you. Let the Immortal Energy flow like a gentle stream—don't go too fast, keep it a bit mild."
A gentle stream, drawing these particles toward him?
At first, Tang Rao didn't believe it. Who knew that the moment he released his Immortal Energy, the particles followed and moved toward him. The originally scattered little things suddenly started acting like they were being commanded, becoming orderly and disciplined.
"They've formed a cluster. I can control the particles now—so what next?"
Tang Rao had completed the first step and was just about to ask about the second when he suddenly began to feel unwell.
At first it was just discomfort inside his body, and then in an instant his head felt like it was exploding in pain. The moment that pain hit, his brain throbbed, his whole body cramped, and he was just short of rolling twice on the ground.
"Endure it. The particles are fusing with your body. So many memories appearing in your mind all at once—this kind of pain, as your father I can understand. But if you want to become a man above other men, this trial is one you must grit your teeth and get through for me!"
Tang Rao was suffering; as a father, there was no way he could remain indifferent. If he could, he would have liked to share this pain together with Tang Rao. Fortunately, the pain was only temporary. Once the particles finished fusing with his body, that heart-rending agony gradually faded, and his mind became much clearer than before.
"Rao Er, those memories—you, you've accepted them all?"
This was the moment Tang Lei had been waiting for. He was expectant; he was afraid; he had no choice but to wait and had to accompany Tang Rao through it.
When it was done, even someone as worldly as Tang Lei couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
He couldn't be sure whether he would be able to fully accept the result that followed.
"I've accepted them. What a truly twisted and bizarre background."
Tang Rao let out a sigh. His heart was in turbulent waves, yet on the surface he forced himself to act calm and indifferent, looking completely nonchalant.
"Rao Er, are you really alright?"
The more Tang Rao seemed fine, the more worried he became that his only son was truly fine, or whether he'd been overstimulated and turned deranged.
"Dad, how about you wait until I go back and calm down first, then I'll tell you whether I'm actually fine or not?"
Tang Rao's legs felt heavier than if they'd been filled with lead. He didn't even know how he managed to walk out that door, nor how he found his way back without looking at a map.
Was he really alright?
No, Tang Rao was not alright. He hurried back only because he didn't want his father to see him at his most pathetic.
