Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 908 - 906 Tianyang’s Approval

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "You have said that it's a thousand-year arrangement. Trust requires time and genuine interaction. Since we are already prepared to serve them for a thousand years, why would they not accept? It's also good if they don't accept! That way, our Rihchen Empire can distribute more of our clan's powerhouses. In time, in the western part of the continent, our clan's powerhouses will absorb life force together. The continent is interconnected; Tianyu Empire and Rihchen Empire are both parts of the Demon Monster Land. Once we start absorbing life force with all our might, and there's no balancing force on their side, the life force of the entire Tianyu Empire will tilt towards our Rihchen Empire. If we maintain this for a period, the power balance between us will shift. Wouldn't that be even better?"

"Ha ha, hahaha," Tianyang Spirit King suddenly burst out laughing, looking upwards.

Tang San still stood by his side, composed.

As the laughter of Tianyang Spirit King subsided, he nodded and said, "I support you in this regard. When the time comes, feel free to propose your ideas. However, I have another matter that I may need your help with."

"Please speak, Your Majesty. If it's within my ability, I will give it my all," Tang San said respectfully. He understood that he had almost convinced the Tianyang Spirit King.

Tianyang Spirit King said, "I need some essence from the Tree Ancestor. I mean, its fundamental essence, which is very important to me. Can you get it for me?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, thinking immediately, What does he need the Tree Ancestor's essence for? Why would he need it?

The essence of the Tree Ancestor, naturally, is also the essence of life of the plane, which is the core life force of the entire Falan Planet. Is it just to extend life?

"Your Majesty, I currently do not have the ability to extract the core essence of life energy from the Tree Ancestor," Tang San said, somewhat troubled.

The Tianyang Spirit King waved his hand and said, "Not now, but after you ascend to Emperor. Once you become an Emperor, you will naturally be able to control the power of the Tree Ancestor, for you are its direct lineage. The power of the Tree Ancestor once surpassed what you might imagine, and extracting some of its essence won't affect it too severely."

Without hesitation, Tang San said, "If I can ascend to Emperor, I will definitely do it for you."

Yet what he was thinking was that if I attain the level of Emperor, then what can these Emperors ask of me? By then, it should be whatever I wish to do.

At the same time, Tang San also realized that the Tianyang Spirit King might have some problems with his body. Could it be that he's injured? But who could possibly injure a being of that caliber?

This is indeed something that requires careful consideration. Very important.

Tianyang Spirit King nodded and said, "Good, that's settled then. You may go. Go back and adjust your condition, first undergo the Emperor Sky Pillar baptism, and then prepare for your report. Rest assured, your report won't have any problems."

This assurance and the previous speculations were different. The status of Tianyang Spirit King in Rihchen Empire is equivalent to how Crystal Great Demon Emperor was in Tianyu Empire. With his approval, Tang San's report would naturally be a breeze. Jianmu City belongs to Rihchen Empire; as long as the Spirit Kings of Rihchen Empire agree, that's enough.

Only six of the Seven Tianjing Emperors remain now. Tianyang and Earth Yin are one; the recognition of these two most powerful individuals is, in essence, the ultimate approval.

Upon leaving the residence of the Tianyang Spirit King, Tang San realized that his back felt a bit chilly. He was genuinely tense when the Spirit King pointed out that he wasn't the real Jin Miaolin. In that moment, he was even prepared for a fight.

But this place is Ancestral Hall Mountain; a conflict here would mean that even if Tang San gave it his all, there was no guarantee he could escape.

However, he soon found out that although the Tianyang Spirit King knew he wasn't the real Jin Miaolin, he believed that Tang San was another direct descendant of the Tree Clan, approved by the Tree Ancestor, just using the name of Jin Miaolin. For the Tianyang Spirit King, who the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan was didn't matter; what was important was that the patriarch was compliant, followed his thinking, and could guide the life force from the Tree Ancestor in the future. Hence, the condition that the Tianyang Spirit King ultimately proposed was his true motive.

Therefore, what Tang San had to do was agree to that condition, ensuring that the Blue Golden Tree Clan remained neutral and served all the main cities. This surprised the Tianyang Spirit King, and it was obvious from the changes in his attitude afterwards that he thought highly of Tang San.

Gaining his approval was by no means easy, and for Tang San, the most crucial step had already been taken. What comes next might be whether he can deceive the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox when faced with her Fate's Eye.

Once he gets past this hurdle at the Ancestral Court, his identity would be entirely secure.

Returning to his dwelling, Tang San reevaluated his line of thought.

"Jingjing, what do you think of the Tianyang Spirit King? You heard what he said just now. Why do you think he needs the core life force from the Tree Ancestor?" After pondering for a while, Tang San decided to consult the former Crystal Great Demon Emperor.

She and the Tianyang Spirit King had once been the strongest beings of their respective empires, so she should be quite familiar with him.

"His body must have problems. I've always had my suspicions. The reason he doesn't often manage affairs isn't because he doesn't want to; it's because he can't," Jingjing responded.

Within the Ancestral Court, she wouldn't easily reveal herself but would communicate with Tang San through his divine consciousness.

"Can't? You mean his body has issues?" Tang San asked, surprised.

Jingjing said, "It's just my suspicion; it's never been confirmed. But I've always wondered, can a Mutated Lianyang Flower, or rather a Tianyang Flower, that has cultivated for a hundred years, really just devour an Emperor? It's too inconceivable. There's a big problem there. Was the devouring thorough? An Emperor's divine consciousness is very powerful. For instance, when my life was coming to an end, I was able to transfer my divine consciousness and achieve rebirth. Although my cultivation base decreased, my entire memory remained, effectively giving me a second life. The former Sunfire Heavenly Spirit Emperor was also strong, not the first among the current Tianyang Spirit King, but still within the top three. Just to be devoured like that? Hence, I suspect that his divine consciousness has always had issues, never having fully assimilated that of the Sunfire Heavenly Spirit Emperor. He wants you to help him obtain the power of origin life force from the Tree Ancestor, likely to use this enormous life force to complete the fusion. If successful, he would become even stronger, reaching or even surpassing the level I was once on."

Hearing her explanation, Tang San found her conjecture quite plausible, and it was indeed the best answer to the Tianyang Spirit King's request. Truly, no one knows a person better than their rival!

"Jingjing, at what level do you think the Tianyang Spirit King's current strength stands? I couldn't clearly sense the state he is in," Tang San continued to ask.

"I'm not very clear about his current state either. I've fought with him before, and including Earth Yin, I couldn't beat him. I've tried copying his abilities; his powers are very special, truly like the sun. Even though I can copy, I can only mimic a part of it, not all. I can't achieve the intensity he has, the kind that can annihilate everything. He is much stronger than the Earth Yin Spirit King on that note. So, you have to be careful around him. Tianyang is very dangerous. The reason I suspect he hasn't entirely devoured the Sunfire Heavenly Spirit Emperor is because I once felt instability in his power, which even gave me the sense of facing a death threat. He's like an unstable colossal energy mass, and there was even a potential for an explosion. That's why I never fought with him again. He rarely shows himself indeed. He sought you out this time, clearly because of the Tree Ancestor's revival. Without the Tree Ancestor's will resurfacing, no one could extract the power of origin life force from the Tree Ancestor's body, they would face rejection and suppression from the plane. But your arrival and the Tree Ancestor's revival present an opportunity. If you can achieve the level of an Emperor and are a direct descendant of the Tree Ancestor, then you might indeed be able to draw out the power of origin from the Tree Ancestor, which is exactly what he needs most."
