Tang San was not just an ordinary god, but he had once been a First-Generation God King. At least up to now, he had not discovered any existence at the God King level in this plane, nor was it possible for such an existence to be there; otherwise, this plane would have already ascended to the Divine Realm.Once he made a breakthrough and the essence of the God King awakened, although he would have to start from Rank 10, it would surely alert the plane master. No plane master would allow an external God King to exist, because once controlled by an external God King, the plane would no longer be the original plane. Therefore, to ascend to the Divine Realm, it needed the birth of a God King level existence from within itself to elevate the plane to the level of the divine world.
The reason Tang San was able to conceal himself from the plane master was that he was still too weak to be taken seriously by the plane. But once his God King nature was exposed, it would be different. The plane would spare no effort to eradicate him and would not allow him to become a god.
Tang San was now at the Seventh Stage, and he had to make even more thorough preparations for his future ascension to deity. The energy needed to become a god was immense, and he couldn't possibly leave this planet before becoming a god. Therefore, to become a god, he had to find opportunities within this plane.
For this reason, he had to prepare multiple trump cards for himself, ensuring that these trump cards were sufficient to support his ascension to godhood.
Without becoming a God King, how could he bring Pretty Girl beyond this world and return to the Divine Realm? Tang San had no other choice. He wasn't just responsible for Pretty Girl, his family member, but also for other family members. Reuniting the family was his ultimate goal.
Gathering his thoughts, Tang San returned to his cultivation.
Inside his body, besides the six stable Bloodline Brands, a massive grey-black Bloodline Brand also hovered next to the Dantian soul core, kept from dispersal only by the pull of the soul core. It was the divine-ranked Brand left to him by the Dark Crow Monster King.
The bloodline of the Dark Crow Monster King felt very special to Tang San. Although its current level wasn't at the God Rank, its origin was after all at the divine-ranked level, so in terms of state, it still possessed some of the special properties of the God Level.
Upon closer feeling, Tang San discovered that the core property of the Dark Crow Monster King's bloodline was transformation. The purpose of blood-draining was to weaken the enemy and to strengthen oneself. The likelihood of the absorbed bloodline being the same as the Dark Crow's was naturally very small. Therefore, after absorbing other types of bloodlines, the most important thing was how to transform them into one's own Power while retaining as much energy as possible. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Overall, Tang San didn't think much of the Dark Crow Monster King's bloodline, but he was very interested in this aspect of transformation. This phenomenon was born of this plane, so it represented one of the laws permitted by the plane. Even if it was only a very common law, it was allowed to exist on this plane. Cross-validation was beneficial for Tang San to improve his Mysterious Heaven Method and to explore more mysteries of this world.
This Bloodline Brand was not something Tang San intended to absorb, but in the recent period, he planned to seriously comprehend its mysteries and find a way to transform it for his own use.
After the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor retreated, Jiali City recovered after some reorganization, and it seemed like everything had returned to normal, at least for the ordinary populace. The high-level power struggles, as long as they didn't involve the very survival of the people, naturally had nothing to do with them. However, the earth-shattering battle had become a hot topic of discussion, with even rumors circulating that the Peacock Demon King was about to become emperor or had already achieved that status.
However, the Peacock Demon Clan was anything but calm. After repelling the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the demon clans that had not stood with the Peacock Demon Clan that day were almost immediately settled with.
The Wind Wolf and Flash Leopard clans were directly expelled from Jiali City. The Red Fox Tribe declared their willingness to submit to the Peacock Demon Clan and was allowed to stay.
The Diamond Bear Clan chose to leave on their own initiative. This undoubtedly caused the overall strength of Jiali City, which was not very strong to begin with, to decline further. But relatively speaking, Jiali City in its current state was much more united than before. The reshuffling of powers allowed the clans that had chosen to support the Peacock Demon Clan to expand and grow to varying degrees.
The Peacock Demon King appeared on the fifth day after the battle ended; at least on the surface, there was no change to it. This undoubtedly also served as proof to all the powerful beings of the Demon Race that it was still alive and well. It was precisely for this reason it was able to quickly stabilize the situation and expel the foreign elements.
Compared to Jiali City, the Redemption Academy seemed to have undergone even less change. Perhaps stimulated by that earth-shattering battle, the students of Redemption Academy have recently become even more diligent in their cultivation.
The Jiali Mountain Range.
The growth rate of the Golden Tree by the pool had significantly sped up during this period. Ever since it became a tree, it absorbed Origin Energy at an increasing rate, and all Origin Energy absorbed by the Spirit Gathering Array would be digested and assimilated by it immediately.
The Red Fox girls who cultivated around it every day could clearly feel the benefits it brought.
After absorbing the Origin Energy, the Golden Tree would release its own Life Aura to attract even more Origin Energy; the effect gradually exceeded that of the Spirit Gathering Array. And what it released was precisely Life Aura.
This Life Aura lingered in the air, and the Red Fox girls, immersed in it and cultivating, felt as if they were reaping twice the results with half the effort. Now, seven Red Fox girls had already advanced their Red Fox Transformation Bloodline Power to the Second Stage. This was purely a stimulation brought about by the evolution of their Life Rank. This also made them feel as if they were seeing hope.
Zhang Haoxuan would come by periodically to bring them some food and also to check on the growth of the Golden Tree.
The Golden Tree now had a diameter of nearly thirty centimeters, and its main trunk, coiled from those strands of Golden Wood, had become increasingly sturdy and had grown to a height of three meters. The buds had turned into tender leaves, which absorbed the Origin Energy better and transformed it into what the tree needed.
Zhang Haoxuan could also feel the rich Life Aura from the Golden Tree. He even considered whether he should bring the students from Redemption Academy here to cultivate and absorb this life force.
Life Force is something every living being needs; it doesn't directly enhance Bloodline Power, but it does increase the body's robustness, giving the body a greater capacity for strain. Moreover, as the body's Life Force is enhanced, it naturally stimulates the power of the bloodline, making it easier for the bloodline to evolve. The lower-ranked the bloodline, the more obvious the impact. The Red Fox girls are the most evident example. Within another month at most, there is no doubt that they will all advance to the Second Stage.
Tang San visited less often than Zhang Haoxuan. During the previous period, he had been accompanying Pretty Girl on hunting actions. Afterwards, he needed to recover his own divine consciousness. It was not until the fifteenth day after the battle ended that he came again to the vibrant Golden Tree.
This time, he arrived in the company of Zhang Haoxuan.
"Master." Upon seeing Tang San, the Red Fox girls all got up to greet him with a bow.
After some time apart, the master in their eyes seemed to have grown a lot, becoming more upright, and his eyes somehow deeper.
Although they all knew that Zhang Haoxuan was much stronger than Tang San, for some reason, they all felt a mysterious sense of reliance on Tang San. This feeling might be because it was Tang San who had chosen to buy them in the first place, or perhaps it was due to the magical changes brought about by the Golden Tree. They had personally witnessed Tang San planting the Golden Tree, inscribing the Spirit Gathering Formation, and later turning the wood into a tree.
