Chapter 873: The Adamant Nymph Clan
The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor believed that the Ancestral Tree's awakening would greatly benefit the fortune of the entire Daemon Continent. On the other hand, Tang San now found he could compete for that fortune. With only his Discerning Eye of Heaven, this would never have been possible, but with the addition of the Ancestral Tree's blessing, it was a different story. This blessing stemmed in the life source of the entire plane, a power at the absolute peak of the Emperor level.
For a long time, the Ancestral Court had been controlled by demons. This was because of overwhelming fighting power, but also because they dominated the fortune of the continent. So what would happen if someone in the Solstice Empire could also control fortune?
Due to the change in their flight path, it was seven days before Tang San and the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan arrived at Adamant City.
During these seven days, Tang San had led the elders across almost every major forest and woodland between Skytree City and Adamant City, spreading the aura of the Ancestral Tree. This made Tang San noticeably feel his own fortune surge. Even without absorbing higher-level Celestial Fox bloodline power, his Discerning Eye of Heaven seemed on the verge of evolving. And then there was the fortune seed he carried—if he absorbed it, his Discerning Eye of Heaven could easily break through to the eleventh order.
From a distance in the sky, they could see Adamant City, a city built entirely of stone. It was surrounded by lush vegetation on all sides; however, within the city itself, there were no plants at all, making it appear from above as if a bald spot had been carved into the land.
Tang San hovered in midair, with the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan stopping a short distance behind him. As his divine consciousness swept over the area, he was shocked. This Adamant City was truly wealthy!
It was technically correct to say that Adamant City was made of stone... technically. Both the city walls and the houses inside were made of nothing but... precious minerals! The closer to the center of the city, the rarer the materials. If the entire city were properly refined, who knew how many valuable gems could be cut and what amount of precious metals could be extracted? It was well known that most of the currency on the continent, especially the higher-tier currency, was produced by nymphs, with Adamant City being a major producer of naturae coins. It was no surprise that on the entire continent, Adamant City ranked among the very wealthiest, and the Adamant Nymph clan, which controlled the surrounding mountains and their resources, was among the wealthiest clans.
With a wave of his hand, Tang San led the Blue Gold Tree clan elders forward. As they entered the outer perimeter, ten kilometers from Adamant City, several powerful divine consciousnesses swept over them.
Tang San stopped again and waited there.
