Chapter 429: Expelling Li Yang
Li Yang’s purpose for visiting the Time Divine Tree race was to have his clone infiltrate them and reap the benefits. His main body had no need to enter.
’Soul Ink, is anyone’s soul watching this area?’ Li Yang asked inwardly.
"Don’t worry. With my soul present, I can sense any Emperor’s soul. The strongest beings in the Time Divine Tree race are Emperors. If any of them were to scan this area with their soul, I would discover it instantly."
Soul Ink said confidently, "Just release your Time Divine Tree clone. You have nothing to worry about."
No soul beneath the Sovereign level could possibly escape his senses.
Since the strongest members of the Time Divine Tree race were only Emperors, he could easily discover anyone who tried to probe this entire region.
"Alright."
Li Yang nodded upon hearing Soul Ink’s words.
With a mere thought, an imperceptible speck of light flew from his body. It was no bigger than a mote of dust and utterly inconspicuous.
The mote of dust fell into a fissure on the planet, sinking deeper and deeper.
This mote of dust was no larger than a cell, completely invisible to the naked eye. Even top-tier Deities wouldn’t be able to see it.
And this was Li Yang’s Summoning Space!
Inside this space, his Time Divine Tree clone was waiting.
Although the Time Divine Tree race was a vassal of the Human Race, they were still an Alien Race. As such, their range of activity was limited; they couldn’t just appear far from their designated territory.
That was why Li Yang had made a special trip here to release his Time Divine Tree clone.
The fact that his Time Divine Tree clone would suddenly appear, unknown to anyone, was not a problem at all.
The members of the Time Divine Tree race were born to be Deities. They didn’t need to train at all. By just eating, drinking, and letting nature take its course, they would eventually become Deities without any effort.
Much like the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, they didn’t need to put in any effort to cultivate. Since they would become Deities just by growing up, why would they go through the trouble of arduous training?
Many of the Time Divine Trees subscribed to a philosophy of inaction. If they went out of their way to train for faster advancement, they might encounter danger and risk perishing.
Therefore, many Time Divine Trees preferred to just stay quietly in one place, avoid all trouble, and wait patiently until they became Deities before venturing out.
This way, it was absolutely foolproof. There would be no danger, and no risk of conflict with anyone else.
They would lie low and keep to themselves, provoking no one. By the time they emerged, they would already be at their strongest.
Thus, it was quite common for a new Time Divine Tree to suddenly appear, adding another Deity to their ranks.
Li Yang’s Summoning Space continued to sink, with Soul Ink’s soul monitoring the surroundings the entire time.
Finally, it reached an extreme depth underground.
CRACK!
With a crisp sound, the speck of light suddenly shattered, and a peculiar tree appeared from within!
"I’m out!"
Light flashed in the eyes of the young Time Divine Tree, Li Yang.
The Summoning Space allowed Li Yang’s main body to summon his clones from faraway places, but it had one drawback: the summoned clone’s strength would revert to its weakest state!
’Time to raise my strength!’
At the thought from Li Yang, the Time Divine Tree, the Time Law around his body immediately began to fluctuate!
He sensed the origin of time in the world, and it began to surge into his body.
Mortal Realm... Spirit Awakening Realm... Law Realm... Longevity Realm...
Soon, the Time Law of Li Yang’s Time Divine Tree clone reached the Longevity Realm. He directly consumed Spirit Fruits, frantically increasing his strength!
These Spirit Fruits had, of course, been placed in the Summoning Space by Li Yang. They were just enough to help his Time Divine Tree clone break through to the Peak of Longevity Realm!
And after he reached the Peak of Longevity Realm, the origin of time descended once more!
Then, the aura fluctuating from Li Yang, the Time Divine Tree, changed once more!
Star Lord Realm!
Even though Li Yang had only been comprehending the Time Law for a little over a decade, his mastery was already sufficient to easily break through to the Star Lord Realm!
’Keep going!’
After reaching this level, Li Yang didn’t stop. He immediately began breaking through with the Space Law!
The Time Divine Tree race was born with a mastery of the Time Law. In fact, they didn’t care about one’s Talent for the Time Law at all. Even if someone was exceptionally talented and became a Deity of Time with record speed, it was no big deal.
After all, every single member of the Time Divine Tree race would eventually become a Deity of Time.
For natural-born Deities like them, what they truly valued was Talent in other Laws!
Anyone who possessed such a Talent would immediately be nurtured as a genius!
Their powerful life forms made them proficient in the Time Law, but their natural aptitude for comprehending other Laws was abysmal. It was impossible to say how many years would pass before someone with strong Talent in another Law would appear.
Soon, Li Yang, the Time Divine Tree, broke through to the Star Lord Realm in the Space Law.
Immediately after, he began his breakthrough in the Thunder Law.
In the end, his Time Law, Space Law, and Thunder Law all successfully broke through!
Having reached this point, Li Yang, the Time Divine Tree, finally stopped.
Li Yang had also comprehended the Fire Element Law, but this time, his Time Divine Tree clone concealed his aptitude for the Fire Element.
’My Fire Element Law clone is also a natural-born Deity clone, and he is currently with the Fire Nether Divine Beast race. When it comes to cultivation of the Fire Element Law, I estimate that no faction can compare to the Fire Nether Divine Beast race,’ Li Yang thought.
Within the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, the rate of his progress in the Fire Element Law had reached a terrifying level.
’Therefore, there’s no need to display my Fire Element Talent here in the Time Divine Tree race.’
He had no plans to cultivate the Fire Element Law among the Time Divine Tree race anyway.
’Besides, I have Talent in the Four-Element Laws of Space, Time, Fire, and Thunder. If my Time Divine Tree clone also displayed all of them, it would be too much of a coincidence,’ Li Yang thought silently. ’Someone might get suspicious.’
Of course, the most crucial point was that Li Yang only needed to reveal his grasp of the Space Law and Thunder Law to surely receive the utmost support and resources from the Time Divine Tree race!
When his Fire Nether Divine Beast clone had gone to their race, his comprehension of the Space and Thunder Laws had only reached the Longevity Realm. Even so, the Fire Nether Divine Beast race had poured all their efforts into cultivating him, giving him the best resources.
Now that Li Yang’s Space and Thunder Laws had both broken through to the Star Lord Realm, wouldn’t the Time Divine Tree race do everything in their power to cultivate him?
...
While his Time Divine Tree clone cultivated deep underground, Li Yang’s main body was strolling around the area, just as he had said he would.
The young Time Divine Trees were watching him the entire time.
"Why isn’t the human Li Yang leaving yet?"
"He’s been here for hours."
"Does this peerless genius of the Human Race have so much free time?"
The young Time Divine Trees muttered amongst themselves.
"Human Li Yang."
As Li Yang was strolling about, the Deity from the Time Divine Tree race named Leng Yue suddenly flew over again. He looked at Li Yang and said, "Human Li Yang, you have been here for too long."
His words were clearly an order to leave.
