Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 863 - 861: If I Could Make the Light Shine Brighter

Chapter 863: Chapter 861: If I Could Make the Light Shine Brighter

Tang San turned to the elders present. At this moment, his heart was actually filled with admiration. There were a total of forty elders in attendance, all of whom were powerhouses above rank 10, including several Great Spirit Kings of rank 11. The life force that each one of them radiated was so tumultuous and surging. Being here, Tang San just felt that his body was always being washed over by the tremendous life energy.

During the passage of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the process was extremely perilous, constantly undergoing the trial of the terrifying lightning tribulation. Tang San’s body was actually damaged to a certain extent. Post-tribulation, his body became much stronger after being tempered by the lightning. However, the shock to his divine consciousness, the injuries from the lightning tribulation, and some cracks that remained in the core of his life force required a significant amount of time to heal. With his godhood, this was certainly not an issue. But it also meant that Tang San had to spend more time building up his powers to be able to confidently challenge rank 12 and achieve a state equivalent to the Imperial Level.

However, after arriving here, in just a short period of time, Tang San clearly felt that his body, continuously washed by the life force, was indescribably comfortable; the life energy that thoroughly permeated him was of such a high level that it nourished even someone of his state, thus influencing the recovery of his origins.

When he had first arrived here, he was merely very curious about the Blue Gold Tree Clan, but now, he really had to take this Tree Ancestor inheritance for himself. His bloodline was certainly pure, for it was indeed the Bloodline Brand he had absorbed from Jin Miaosen.

All of the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders’ eyes were focused on Tang San, waiting for him to speak.

Tang San’s gaze swept over them, and with a smile, he said, “Having been away for many years, but after returning, being bathed in the Tree Ancestor’s Radiance, I can still profoundly feel that this is where I belong. Alone in a foreign land I am but a stranger; while outside, I always thought about returning, but because I had yet to make any significant achievements, I did not dare to come back. It was only until recently, under some special circumstances, that I finally had some insights, and I believe I now have the qualifications to return.”

...

Saying this, Tang San paused slightly, raising the eight spikes on his back. He was all too familiar with controlling the eight spikes. In his past life, one of his most powerful abilities was the attached soul bone Eight-Spider Spear, which was somewhat similar to these eight spikes. Therefore, his control over them was not only as easy as moving his arms but also brought a sense of nostalgia for his past life.

“Because the Tree Ancestor’s true inheritance has never passed down, our clan has never had a presence at the Emperor Level. However, in fact, if a mere inheritance of the Tree Ancestor led to the birth of an Emperor, it might not necessarily be a good thing for our clan. After all, becoming an Emperor solely through the might of life force would be the weakest among the Emperors, and it could also potentially attract covetous looks from other races. I believe this is also what the elders are concerned about.”

Hearing him say this, the elders present couldn’t help but nod their agreement; these were indeed significant concerns they shared. How should it be put? An Emperor Level Blue Gold Tree, unless it reached the level of the Tree Ancestor, would be the weakest of Emperors, yet simultaneously the most enticing divine natural resource. If another Emperor were to devour an Emperor of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, their strength might very well surge to the pinnacle of the Emperor Level in a flash. If it weren’t for the presence of the Tree Ancestor’s main body in this sacred land for protection, who knows how many times the Blue Gold Tree Clan would have been invaded? And once the Tree Ancestor’s inheritance fell on a single member of the clan, even if it created a new Emperor, would it be able to protect the Blue Gold Tree Clan? Then, the Tree Ancestor’s protective power would greatly diminish, and the clan itself would be at significant risk. This was another reason why the Great Elder was not worried about a public vote.

“Secondly, because the Tree Ancestor’s inheritance is still here, the Tree Ancestor’s Radiance continues to shine over Jianmu City, so every clansman can bask in that glow to nourish their life force origins; the higher one’s cultivation base, the better the effect. I understand, the elders must be worried that if I accept the Tree Ancestor’s inheritance, this radiance will disappear. Coupled with the previous reason I mentioned, everyone must certainly be concerned.”

At these words, Jin Miaosen, who stood beside Tang San and was originally very anxious, couldn’t help but be somewhat stunned. It originally thought that its long-absent brother was not familiar with the situation, yet he saw it all too clearly.

The Great Elder’s expression also underwent some changes. Now that Jin Miaolin understood everything, could he possibly have a solution to the problem?

Listening to Tang San’s words, the Blue Gold Tree Clan Eldest and the other Elders could not hide their surprise. They were captivated by his calm and composed demeanor. As a result, their initial antagonism eased.

Tang San continued, “As a member of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, I take pride in carrying on the Tree Ancestor’s bloodline. However, if continuing the Tree Ancestor’s legacy affects the entire clan, that is not something I wish to do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sought opportunities outside the clan; I would have stayed and directly received the inheritance. Therefore, I must address the two issues I mentioned earlier before I accept the Tree Ancestor’s legacy. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Elders to vote—I wouldn’t be qualified to inherit at all.”

This time, even the Great Elder showed a look of surprise and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you mean to say you have a method to resolve these two issues now?”

Tang San smiled slightly and said, “Words alone are no proof. Whether I shall inherit from the Tree Ancestor, we can discuss that later. First, let me demonstrate to the Elders that my return will only benefit the Blue Gold Tree Clan.”

As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the towering Tree Ancestor’s main body. Simultaneously, a faint blue light began to emanate from Tang San’s body.

This blue light was extremely unique, emitting a crystal clear, translucent halo. Yet within it, it seemed as if it contained the very essence of the heavens and the earth. The observing Blue Gold Tree Clan Eldest and other Elders felt affected by just looking at the light around him. It seemed as though their perception and understanding of Life Force were subtly changing, even their sense of life itself appeared to be elevating.

What was this power?

One thing they were certain of was that this was not merely life force, which they were all too familiar with. At that moment, the blue light radiating from Tang San carried a very peculiar property. As he approached the Tree Ancestor, it did not feel like an act of worship but rather carried a sense of challenging equality.

The Blue Gold Tree Clan’s Elders voluntarily moved aside, opening a path for Tang San to reach the Tree Ancestor’s main body. The Great Elder opened his mouth as if to stop him but ultimately did not speak. Tang San’s words, coupled with the aura suddenly emanating from him, made even the Great Elder feel a measure of intimidation internally.

The Blue Gold Tree Clan’s biggest issue was actually their poor combat capabilities. Despite many Elders being of rank 10 or higher, their combat strength was very ordinary. This was why, despite the presence of so many powerhouses, they were still bullied by other races and reluctant to leave the inner city. Each of the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s powerhouses was also a natural treasure, highly attractive to both Monster Clan and Spirit Clan. Consequently, they were naturally timid.

Even though the Great Elder was inwardly quite wary of Tang San, he still stepped back under the pressure of Tang San’s aura.
