Chapter 910: Lighting Up the Celestial Pillars
In the future, even if he didn’t go as far as to draw the Ancestral Tree’s core life energy, simply keeping this young man around would still be of immense benefit to him.
With this thought, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor now looked far more favorably upon Tang San. There were few beings in this world he regarded highly anymore, and without a doubt, Tang San was one of them, even surpassing the younger generation of the Scorching Sunflower clan.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor had little sense of belonging to the Scorching Sunflower clan; this was in fact the norm for nymphs, which tended to be a lot more utilitarian than demons. Back then, if he hadn’t devoured the old Scorching Sunflower Emperor, he would have become its nourishment instead. Though he had grown in the Scorching Sunflower clan’s ancestral land for a solid century, no one had ever paid him any attention or thought of ways to help his growth. He had quietly absorbed the leftover energy in some forgotten corner, growing bit by bit on his own.
To the Sunborne Nymph Emperor, the high-level life energy Tang San was now radiating had elevated him to the status of an Emperor-level resource. Not just any resource, but one of the most supreme resources this plane had to offer.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor had visited Skytree City before, but he was certain that even back then, he hadn’t sensed such a high level of life energy from the Ancestral Tree. Of course, now that the Ancestral Tree had awakened, the situation was probably different, but its core energy was likely no higher in level than what he was feeling now. Calling this young man an Ancestral Tree sapling wasn’t far off. No wonder he had the confidence to push for reform within the Blue Gold Tree clan and he was aiming to become the life core for all the major races.
Interesting, truly interesting!
Thus, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor didn’t leave but instead sat down behind Tang San. The life energy Tang San was radiating had a nourishing effect even on him, so why return to his quarters? Guarding Tang San while absorbing some of this life energy was most certainly not a waste of his time.
He wasn’t intending to absorb Tang San’s life energy directly; with Tang San’s current cultivation at the eleventh order, no matter how pure or high-level his life energy was, it wouldn’t bring any kind of major transformation to a being as powerful as the Sunborne Nymph Emperor. Only once Tang San became an Emperor would his power truly be effective.
What the Sunborne Nymph Emperor aimed to do was to attune himself to the level of life energy Tang San was radiating. Such high-level life energy was a rare experience. Gaining insights from it could deepen his own understanding of life and help him raise his own life level.
But just as the Sunborne Nymph Emperor was about to sink into deep meditation, he suddenly froze. He noticed that the entire Ancestral Court Council had suddenly become brighter.
The change in light was drastic and instantaneous, and in the next moment, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor's eyes widened slightly. Despite his vast experience, even he couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment.
Why had the Ancestral Court Council suddenly brightened? It was because nearly one-third of the hundreds of Celestial Pillars were now glowing, emitting divine consciousness filled with life energy. Indeed, it wasn’t just light; the divine consciousness fluctuations also intensified, making the vast hall itself feel as if it had come to life.
