Chapter 894 - 892: Return to Jianmu City
What happens next to Diamond City is no longer his concern. The Diamond Elf clan has lost the Diamond Elf King, but its own strength is still formidable. After all, there are several Great Spirit Kings to support it. In the short term, the Ancestral Court probably won’t be able to intervene and replace the ruling clan of a main city, which is not an easy task.
Looking down at Diamond City from the sky, everything seems to have returned to normal, but the entire city no longer has the same thriving and overwhelming aura it did when they first arrived. Diamond City now clearly shows signs of decline. This can be seen from observing the Luck.
Conversely, the twelve Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders by Tang San’s side, each of them exudes a spirited and vigorous aura. Having left Diamond City, their inner excitement has truly burst forth. Although even now, they still can’t quite believe it, everything has been laid out before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe.
The return to Jianmu City was a straight line back. Along the way, a massive Life Aura rose from the ground. Tang San’s Life rank has obviously improved again, after all, even if he has not fully absorbed the power of the Diamond Elf King, he also gained a Bloodline Brand. His Life rank has been better fused and in contact with the power of the Tree Ancestor during the slaying of the Diamond Elf King. At the same time, the chaos aura was also generated anew when the Two Qi of yin and Yang exploded in the Diamond Elf King’s body and was nourished. Therefore, he has now undergone a different change.
Of course, hunting an Emperor like the Diamond Elf King can only happen once and not again. This was a one-time opportunity. Before truly becoming an Emperor, Tang San will not attempt to hunt another Emperor, otherwise, he would surely face the most severe repercussions from the Ancestral Court.
Much faster than the trip here, it took less than a third of the Time for Tang San to lead everyone back to Jianmu City where the Tree Ancestor resides.
It has been over ten hours since the Diamond Elf King perished. On the surface, Jianmu City seemed as usual. However, when the Diamond Elf King was slain, the Tree Ancestor appeared in Jianmu City, witnessed by all the Blue Golden Tree Clan and other races living there. What followed was a bloodbath in the sky.
At that time, no one dared to imagine the fall of an Emperor, but the extraordinary event was so intense that how could the Blue Golden Tree Clan led by the Great Elder in Jianmu City not want to find out the truth?
The death of an Emperor cannot be covered up. Although it cannot yet be confirmed, some news has already been received. The Great Elder is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Even now, it is still hard for the Great Elder to imagine that the Diamond Elf King is really dead, even though the Tree Ancestor’s glory was shining with vast Energy right before its eyes, it still could not believe it. After all, on the Demon Monster Land, a slaying of an Emperor hadn’t happened in thousands of years.
What it worried about even more was the safety of Tang San and the other elders. It did not know what Tang San intended to do, but such a commotion and such a big reaction from the Tree Ancestor, if it had nothing to do with this newly appointed patriarch, it would not believe it even if it were beaten to death!
Having finally seen the hope for the rise of the Blue Golden Tree Clan from this newly appointed patriarch, and even hoping that he would become an Emperor soon, with the Tree Ancestor awakening, it seemed there was a good chance for the Blue Golden Tree Clan to no longer be passively beaten. If the patriarch perished just like that, it would be troublesome. Especially since, this time, he also took Jin Miaosen, who is of the direct lineage of the Ancestral Tree. If something happened to both of them, the Blue Golden Tree Clan would really be doomed!
While anxiously waiting, the Great Elder also sent people out to gather information. With various chaotic messages coming in, it could not discern the truth and could only continue waiting.
And it was at this moment, it sensed a familiar aura. When it saw those dozen or so figures in the sky, especially the rich fluctuations of Life Aura emanating from them, the Great Elder was so moved that it almost cried tears of joy.
It immediately spotted Jin Miaolin and seeing his presence, the Great Elder unconsciously clenched its fists—The patriarch is alive, all is well, his return is better than anything else. Next was Jin Miaosen, and as for the other Elders, it had no mind to care about them right now.
Tang San led the elders as they descended from the sky, directly landing in front of the Tree Ancestor’s main body. This was his own city; there was no need to enter through the city gates.
“Patriarch,” the Great Elder called out excitedly, quickly stepping forward to meet him. Feeling the abundant life aura from Tang San, it was then that the elder’s heart settled.
Tang San smiled slightly and said, “I’ve caused you worry, Great Elder. I need to enter closed-door cultivation immediately. The Second Elder and the others will explain the situation to you. Don’t worry, it’s good news.”
As he spoke, he patted the Great Elder on the shoulder and walked towards the Tree Ancestor’s main body.
He hadn’t been gone for long, but after such a significant change, the Tree Ancestor’s main form had also undergone some changes.
The massive body of the Tree Ancestor had become even more crystalline and translucent, the blue colors on its trunk now held a deeper hue, and Tang San could even feel the Tree Ancestor’s consciousness awakening a little more. Of course, the Tree Ancestor couldn’t truly awaken and regain its senses, not even if Tang San’s chaos aura was tenfold greater. This was determined by the level of this plane.
The power of the plane master infused within the heavens and earth, unable to possess independent wisdom, which is a crucial characteristic of non-Divine Realm planes. This was something nobody could change, even if the energy levels of Falan Planet were extremely high, as this was determined by the universe’s laws.
Hence, Tang San wasn’t worried about the Tree Ancestor truly awakening. However, a somewhat more awakened consciousness also meant that the Tree Ancestor’s instincts became a bit sharper. The energy of the Tree Ancestor’s main body also became purer and more substantial.
Tang San arrived in front of the Tree Ancestor, lifted his right hand, and pressed it against the Tree Ancestor’s vast trunk, silently transmitting his divine consciousness.
The death of the Diamond Elf King was a great boon for the Tree Ancestor, a partial plane master. The fall of an Emperor – how much luck and life force would return to the plane! Especially since Tang San also guided the Tree Ancestor’s power to draw out a third of the life force from a main city and return it to nature, which deepened the Tree Ancestor’s recognition of him.
At the same time, Tang San also brought back the kidnapped members of the Blue Gold Tree Clan from Diamond City.
At this moment, streams of blue light continuously split off from Tang San’s body, falling around the Tree Ancestor’s main form. There were Blue Gold Tree Clan members who were still alive but very weak, and many more were dismembered limbs.
Tang San placed these Blue Gold Tree Clan members around the Tree Ancestor’s main body so that the Tree Ancestor’s power could nourish them. Revival of the Withered Tree was one of the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s innate abilities; even if only limbs remained, with the nourishment of the Tree Ancestor’s vast life force, these Blue Gold Tree Clan members could possibly be revived.
The aura transmitted to Tang San by the Tree Ancestor became even gentler. The battle in Diamond City fully cemented the Tree Ancestor’s instinctive recognition of this spokesperson. Tang San could clearly feel that the life aura transmitted to him from the Tree Ancestor was becoming purer. It was almost at this plane’s core level of life rank.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the Tree Ancestor’s main body, with his back leaning directly against it, Tang San entered a meditative state, quietly absorbing the incomparably pure life energy.
He could not wait any longer; he had to immediately begin absorbing the Bloodline Brand of the Diamond Elf King. Otherwise, the seal would not hold. It was important to note that the strength of the Diamond Elf King’s Bloodline Brand surpassed the combined power of all the Bloodline Brands currently within his body. Such was the gap between rank 11 and rank 12. He must quickly allow the power of his own Bloodline Brand to surpass that of the Diamond Elf King’s Bloodline Brand; otherwise, big trouble would ensue.
