Chapter 898: Collective Enhancement of Bloodline Imprints
Upon returning to the Blue Gold Tree clan, Tang San found the elders already gathered before the Ancestral Tree, awaiting his arrival. His sudden disappearance had startled them, but fortunately, he hadn't been gone long. Seeing him return safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang San did not resume his cultivation immediately. After several days of seclusion, he was in absolute peak form. His cultivation had reached the middle level of the eleventh order, by his own assessment, but even the most powerful eleventh-order experts of demon and nymph clans couldn't begin to compare with him.
Each of his ten bloodline imprints had been strengthened, and with the augmentation of the Ancestral Tree's pure life energy, they were also more stable. As for his physique, it was leagues beyond what he'd previously achieved.
The rewards from this journey were immense. Even meeting the Firedawn Clan and being able to communicate with the Fire God's Scepter paled in comparison. Even the formation of a new transcendent bloodline wasn't even his greatest achievement; what he valued most was the Discerning Eye of Heaven.
As the Discerning Eye of Heaven advanced, it became far more than a mere tool for controlling fortune. Tang San began to understand why the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor held such an esteemed position among both demons and nymphs. The ability to control fate was vast and all-encompassing—a power capable of influencing the very fabric of reality.
The limit of this plane was the twelfth order, or the nine-tailed Celestial Fox, like the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was. However, if Tang San could eventually restore his God King-level strength, he would surely be able to push this ability even further beyond. Perhaps... he would then be able to peer into the fortune of the entire universe!
Indeed, as Tang San's cultivation gradually returned, his thoughts extended beyond mere survival in this plane. He began contemplating the state of his own divine realm, considering how it could continue to develop and remain stable once he returned, and especially how it could resist the cosmic laws to avoid the tragedies of the past.
The invisible cosmic laws governed everything. If Tang San could have eyes that could peer into destiny, if he could use the subtle shifts in fortune to predict when something major would occur, then navigating the future would become far easier.
Thus, Tang San was most pleased with the Discerning Eye of Heaven's evolution. After all, it was exceedingly difficult for him to come into contact with high-level bloodlines from the Celestial Fox clan. Once members of the Celestial Fox clan reached the Demon King level, they guarded themselves tightly; they were always accompanied by powerful protectors, making them nearly impossible to approach. The fortune Tang San had gained thanks to the Ancestral Tree was something he couldn't have gotten otherwise, save for visiting the Hell Garden once more.
