Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 872: Adamant City

Thus, Jin Miaosen could hardly be any more valuable—both to her clan and to outsiders. Though the Grand Elder did not get along with her, he would never want her to fall into the hands of others. Thus, ever since she was a young sapling, she had been strictly forbidden to leave the inner city.

For decades, Jin Miaosen had been cooped up in the small inner city, and she had become quite frustrated. Now that she could finally leave with full approval, her excitement was by far the strongest among the elders present. She was constantly looking around, thrilled by everything she saw.

Sensing her genuine excitement, Tang San couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had developed a bit of fondness for this little sister of his. It wasn't just because of the bloodline imprint she had bestowed upon him, but also out of a sense of responsibility to the Blue Gold Tree clan. Having gained so much from the Ancestral Tree, he sincerely wanted to give back to the clan. It was also a way to maintain harmony with the planar ruler and pave the way for his future ascension to Emperor. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Unlike most other demon and nymph clans, the Blue Gold Tree clan had never harmed others; rather, they had only been harmed by others. Since the Ancestral Tree fell into slumber, this once powerful clan had suffered constant bullying. Were it not for the presence of the Ancestral Tree's true body, the benefits they offered to other clans might have already led to their extinction. They were forced to endure a life of great hardship.

Now that Tang San had awakened the Ancestral Tree and gained immense benefits from it, it was time for him to give back to the Blue Gold Tree clan. This would achieve several goals: repaying the Ancestral Tree, strengthening his relationship with this plane, ensuring the continued survival of the life-rich Blue Gold Tree clan, and laying the foundation for future cooperation between this clan and humanity.

During his time with them, Tang San had learned that this clan had never enslaved others. They were born to continuously release their life aura, gather life energy, and then spread that energy throughout the world. This was the core mission left behind by the Ancestral Tree. Even the selfish Grand Elder only sought to become stronger without harming others.

If humans could maintain a good relationship with the Blue Gold Tree clan in the future, it would greatly benefit the propagation and survival of the human race.

Though humans were already among the larger vassal races on the Daemon Continent, their numbers still paled in comparison to the vast populations of the demon and nymph clans. According to Tang San's estimates, even if all the humans were counted together, their population would only number in the millions. Humans had suffered too much oppression on this plane. But human reproduction and survival would become much easier with sufficient life energy to nourish them. An adequate population was crucial to the rise of humanity on this plane.

This journey was not only for Tang San to break through and find his path to becoming an Emperor but also to find the most suitable path for human development. Over many years, demons and nymphs had accumulated so much fortune that they had become incredibly powerful on this plane. Although they only dominated this continent, it was not wrong to say they ruled the entire land. To carve out sufficient space for humans to survive, and even surpass them to become the masters of this plane in the future, humans would need more than just their own strength.

Jin Miaosen flew joyfully through the sky, zigzagging and darting forward and back, occasionally letting out cheers. Her life energy radiated continuously in the air, purifying the atmosphere wherever she passed.

The other elders followed Tang San, and although they didn't express their joy as openly as Jin Miaosen, each of them carried a sense of relief and excitement. After spending so many years confined to a small corner of the world, how could they not feel a mountain of frustration? Now, as they left Skytree City, they felt a renewed sense of vitality, and without realizing it, their auras started to shift slightly.

Although the life energy outside was nowhere near as rich as in Skytree City, as the life energy they radiated permeated the external world, they received feedback from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making them feel more connected to nature. While this change didn't directly enhance their cultivation, it subtly elevated their divine consciousness. This was the result of a clear mind and spirit, leading to a quiet transformation of their awareness.

As descendants of the Ancestral Tree, the Blue Gold Tree clan were a class above other plants. When they flew through the sky, they could sense the vegetation on the ground cheering for them. Any plant that absorbed a trace of the Blue Gold Tree clan's life energy would benefit greatly in its evolution.

A faint white glow radiated from Tang San's eyes as he flew at the front of the group. His Discerning Eye of Heaven was activated, but he was completely unafraid of the Blue Gold Tree clan elders noticing. The basic power of his Celestial Fox Vision was now at the level of a seven-tailed Celestial Fox, but combined with his powerful divine consciousness, it granted Tang San fortune control far surpassing that of an ordinary Celestial Fox Demon King.

Through the Discerning Eye of Heaven, Tang San could clearly see a subtle connection between the plants on the ground and the Blue Gold Tree clan elders in the sky. The plants slowly evolved under the influence of the clan's aura, and in turn, they emitted faint ripples of fortune, feeding back to the Blue Gold Tree clan. This process was very much like the faith energy feedback he himself received as the Sea God. In this way, the fortune of the Blue Gold Tree clan was gradually and subtly being elevated.

This realization deepened Tang San's understanding of the Ancestral Tree. He knew that although the Ancestral Tree's awakening was still in its incipient stages and the tree was barely sentient, it had instinctively started to gather fortune, preparing for a more thorough awakening. Of course, as their fortune increased, the entire Blue Gold Tree clan would undoubtedly benefit greatly.

Sensing these changes, Tang San altered his flight path. He no longer flew directly toward Adamant City; instead, guided by his divine consciousness, he shifted directions toward tree-rich areas, forests and woodlands.

Soon, the second elder, one of the clan's Great Nymph Kings, noticed the change and flew beside Tang San, asking in a low voice, "Clan Leader, I don't mean to be impolite, but... are you sure... we're going in the right direction?"

Tang San smiled faintly and said, "The Ancestral Tree's blessings should reach all living things. All trees are the Ancestral Tree's children. We need to let the Ancestral Tree's radiance shine upon them and let them know that the Ancestral Tree has awakened, spreading its will through them."

The second elder's heart stirred, and he seemed to understand something. "I will follow your orders."

Although the elders didn't have the Celestial Fox Vision, much less the Discerning Eye of Heaven, they all had divine consciousness. They couldn't see things as clearly as Tang San did, but after the Ancestral Tree's blessing was imprinted on their souls, they could vaguely sense changes in fortune, and they could feel a growing closeness to the vegetation around them.

The vegetation in the Solstice Empire had always been extremely lush. Though there was a massive variety of nymphs of all kinds, plant-type nymphs vastly outnumbered all others combined. Using his divine consciousness, Tang San specifically sought out areas with the densest vegetation and activated his Blue Gold Tree bloodline power and the Ancestral Tree's imprint, drawing fortune from these areas.

The Ancestral Tree operated on instinct alone, and as its representative, Tang San was also a conduit for this fortune. He used his bloodline imprint to channel most of the fortune back to the Ancestral Tree, while absorbing the excess himself. Coupled with the constant faith energy flowing in from the Endless Blue Sea, Tang San found it hard to even look at his own surging fortune—it was truly overwhelming, like a rainbow arcing across the sky.
