Chapter 858: The Radiance of the Ancestral Tree
How could he not understand what Jin Miaosen meant? For nymphs, this probably wasn't some big secret. It was likely also the reason why the Blue Gold Trees had been able to continue thriving despite being natural treasures themselves. The answer was revealed in Jin Miaosen's words. Outsiders who dared to step into the inner city, would have their life force stripped away, devoured by the essence left behind by the Ancestral Tree. This explained why there was not one single nymph on the streets here that was not a Blue Gold Tree.
In other words, if he hadn't previously absorbed Jin Miaosen's bloodline, which essentially turned him into a member of the Blue Gold Tree clan, he would have already been devoured by now! And even if the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor and his divine seat could save him, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience.
The moment he arrived and saw this towering tree, he completely believed Jin Miaosen's earlier claim that their ancestor was one of the Three Ancestors of the Solstice Empire. The aura emitted by this husk was at the Emperor level, and from the perspective of life force... it even surpassed the Crystal Demon Emperor! Faced with such a terrifying entity, even someone like Tang San couldn't guarantee his life force wouldn't be consumed.
Of course, thanks to him taking one simple precautionary measure, he was only benefiting from this. The Ancestral Tree clearly had no consciousness and only recognized bloodlines, not individuals, so as far as it was concerned, Tang San was a member of the family. Instinctively, Tang San praised his own Discerning Eye of Heaven. It sure felt good being this lucky!
At this moment, Jin Miaosen finally let go of Tang San, drew back her vines, and beckoned Tang San as she led the way toward the huge Ancestral Tree husk.
Tang San followed closely behind her, carefully stepping in the exact same place Jin Miaosen had stepped. In the presence of such a massive and non-intelligent entity like the Ancestral Tree, he couldn't afford to make a single misstep; any wrong move might lead to immediate death. However, the life energy emitted from the Blue Gold Tree was simply overwhelming. Tang San could even feel that his Chrono Croc bloodline, which had already reached the peak of the tenth order, was on the verge of taking the next step. This high-level life energy nourished his very being, and all of his bloodline imprints were being nurtured.
Any living being that came here and was acknowledged by the Ancestral Tree would undoubtedly experience an astonishing increase in cultivation. Unfortunately, this place belonged solely to the Blue Gold Tree clan, and no others would be allowed entry. Tang San entering this way was unprecedented. But who could blame him? The mysteries of the Mysterious Heaven Technique had allowed him this opportunity.
Arriving before the Blue Gold Tree, Jin Miaosen slowly sat cross-legged, facing the towering tree. In a soft voice, she said, "Respected Ancestral Tree, your child has returned. My elder brother Jin Miaolin has returned. The future Emperor of our clan has returned. Can you feel it? Please pass on the legacy to the new Emperor. Only he can make your radiance shine again."
As she spoke, she respectfully bowed toward the Ancestral Tree.
