NOVEL WEB Chapter 1148: Tower of Life Completed
The planar power constantly converged by the Heart of Nature transformed into a simplified version of immortal aura, nourishing Tang San and Pretty Girl while simultaneously nurturing the Tower of Life. Under this rich nourishment, the Blue Gold Wood emitted an increasingly pure life force, surpassing even its growth period.
The benefits for Tang San and Pretty Girl were undoubtedly the greatest, simultaneously drawing the attention of the emperors outside. Such pure and potent life force held immeasurable benefits for their longevity. Tang San precisely intended to let them envision how, after his ascension to emperor status, he could provide them with even more tremendous life force.
From the outside, the Tower of Life appeared to be a tall wooden tower radiating faint blue-golden light, but its interior offered an entirely different scene. Inside, each level was inlaid with numerous gemstones, forming vast and intricate array formations. These formations interlinked across all levels, forging a cohesive whole. While the exterior exuded life aura, the interior was surrounded by immortal aura.
With the tower's layers growing higher and higher, the immortal aura within the Tower of Life grew increasingly dense. Though it could not compare to the true immortal aura of the Divine Realm, emperors who encountered such aura would immediately experience a sense of personal sublimation.
However, Tang San did not dare draw excessively from the Heart of Nature. Should the Heart of Nature weaken due to over-extraction, the Falan Planet would immediately sense it, triggering their tribulation prematurely, which would bring immense and terrifying pressure.
It took a full month to construct layer upon layer of the Tower of Life, until the final thirteenth level was at last completed.
As Tang San embedded the last gemstone within the tower, the entire structure erupted in radiant brilliance.
Resplendent blue-golden light shot skyward, instantly piercing through the clouds of life-energy covering the sky above the Ancestral Court, creating a massive void. The intense life aura surged like a rainbow of celestial majesty into the heights. The Blue Gold Palace Tower of Life burst forth with dazzling radiance.
Figures of emperors darted into view one after another, hovering in the air as they gazed toward the direction of the Blue Gold Holy Mountain.
Since the tower's construction began, none of the emperors had returned to their main cities. They stayed within the Ancestral Court, striving to absorb as much of the tower's immense life force as possible to replenish their being.
The sudden change within the Blue Gold Palace first made them wonder whether Jin Miaolin was preparing to cross his tribulation.
At this moment, gazing toward the Blue Gold Palace and sensing the shocking waves of life aura, the emperors couldn't help but display expressions of awe.
"This probably rivals the life aura of the Tree Ancestor back then, doesn't it?" muttered the Tianyang Spirit King.
Beside her stood the Earth Yin Spirit King. "We did not sense the aura of the Tree Ancestor, but this is undoubtedly the strongest life force I have ever felt. Jin Miaolin is truly extraordinary! With this Tower of Life built, his achievements after becoming emperor might even rival the Tree Ancestor's. The Blue Golden Tree Clan is blessed to have such a genius. The Ancestral Court's fortune in hosting such a figure is a blessing for us all."
They could all feel how the massive life aura being released by the Blue Gold Palace was subtly enhancing their own life force. This was only the effect from standing on the periphery. Imagine then, if one were to truly bask in such life force—it would surely grant them even greater vitality and extend their lifespan.
Right at this moment, a faint hum emerged between heaven and earth. While ordinary citizens felt nothing, the emperors present abruptly changed their expressions.
These were the strongest figures of the era, their perceptions attuned to the laws. At this moment, they could feel an intense ripple of cosmic rules—an overwhelming sense of rejection, as though the planar world itself was enraged.
"Good heavens, has the intensity of this life force already triggered the law of life in the plane?" murmured the Earth Yin Spirit King in astonishment.
At this exact moment, however, the vast life force rising from the Blue Gold Palace began retracting and subsiding. The hum from the plane also faded away. Even though it lasted but an instant, the emperors keenly felt its significance, vaguely surmising what had happened.
The law of life—this must surely be the threshold Jin Miaolin would touch upon when crossing his tribulation to become emperor!
The absence of the emperor tribulation indicated that Jin Miaolin was not yet attempting to cross it. Yet, even before the tribulation, he had already brushed against the power of the laws—showing that he had found his own path. This was precisely the promise all emperors hoped to see in him—the path he would pursue.
"Heavenly Fox!" The Tianyang Spirit King called out toward the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox in the distance.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox turned to look at the Tianyang Spirit King.
In a somber tone, the Tianyang Spirit King said, "It seems the Tower of Life has been completed. I propose that from today onward, we take turns guarding the Tower of Life, preventing any malicious forces from taking advantage. We must ensure Jin Miaolin crosses his tribulation successfully. What do you think?"
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox gave a slight nod. "I agree."
The other emperors also nodded in succession. Just in this brief moment, the violent surge of life force from the Tower of Life gave each of them a distinct impression—an extended lifespan of at least one year. For emperors who had long since exhausted ordinary means of prolonging their lives, aside from the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, further extending their lifespan was exceedingly difficult. And now, simply from the Tower of Life's leaked life aura, they felt their vitality enhance—imagine the possibilities once the Tower of Life fully opened and Jin Miaolin ascended to emperor status. The potential benefits he could bring them were unimaginable.
The Tianyang Spirit King stated, "Since that's agreed, we will rotate monthly, with emperors from the two great empires taking turns guarding."
Naturally, no one opposed, and the emperors unanimously approved.
The brilliance of the Tower of Life gradually returned to normal, but within the tower, the concentration of immortal aura increased by another tier.
Seated at the center of the thirteenth level of the Tower of Life, Tang San exhaled deeply, calming his earlier nerves.
What actually triggered the planar reaction wasn't directly the law of life. It was that at the moment of the Tower of Life's full completion, all array formations within the tower interlinked and activated all together, drawing excessively from the natural energy beneath the Blue Gold Palace, causing the immortal aura inside the tower to grow denser. This ripple of energy from the Heart of Nature caught the attention of the plane.
Tang San immediately reversed the arrays, forcibly suppressing their extraction of energy from the Heart of Nature, thereby stabilizing the external life force fluctuations and calming the plane's anger.
This attempt still held considerable risk, but Tang San had anticipated it and controlled the situation promptly, avoiding any major issues.
At this moment, Pretty Girl awoke and transmitted her thoughts, "Husband, are you all right?"
Tang San replied, "I'm fine. It's handled. The Tower of Life has been officially completed."
"Mm. I can sense that the density of immortal aura seems even higher now. Will there be any leakage?" Pretty Girl asked.
Tang San shook his head and said, "No. Our Time-Space Ring remains within as the final barrier. The foundation of the Time-Space Ring is the Time-Space Monument, which can isolate and control time and space within the universe. It's time for us to begin our true seclusion."
"Okay." Pretty Girl nodded, her mood growing inexplicably stirred. Her excitement was not only due to the impending tribulation to ascend to emperor status, aiming for the peak realm of the plane, but also for another matter even more important to her.
