Chapter 893: The Blue Gold Tree Clan's Excitement

With the Ancestral Tree's high-level life essence protecting and assisting him, absorbing and integrating the bloodline was a far safer process. Additionally, with so many Blue Gold Tree elders standing guard, there were no worries at all.

While Tang San was immersing himself in cultivation, elsewhere, Jin Miaosen was vividly recounting everything that had happened in Adamant City to the Grand Elder.

All the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan were present. Ever since the sudden eruption of the Ancestral Tree and the bloodbath in Adamant City, everyone had gathered together, ready to respond to any situation.

At this moment, as they listened to Jin Miaosen's account, the elders looked at each other and saw the same immense shock in each other's gazes.

Especially when they heard that Tang San had taken the initiative to declare war on Adamant City and even the Adamant Nymph Emperor, they involuntarily held their breath. Even though Tang San and the other elders had already returned, so it was clear who the winner of that fight was, they still couldn't believe such a thing had happened. It was truly terrifying—had he failed, wouldn't the Blue Gold Tree clan have fallen back into danger?

The ending of the story was undoubtedly perfect. With the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor bearing witness, Jin Miaolin had killed the Adamant Nymph Emperor. Or rather, the Ancestral Tree had slain this powerful Emperor who had always harbored hostility and greed toward the Blue Gold Tree clan.

They had returned safely, and the situation in the Solstice Empire was certain to undergo a dramatic shift.

The Grand Elder trembled with excitement, and the eight blue spikes on his back quivered continuously. "He did it... He really did it! He took down our greatest enemy, and considering what happened, there is no stopping the clan leader from becoming the official city lord. Skytree City is secure now, truly secure! As long as the clan leader can become an Emperor soon, our Blue Gold Tree clan will surely rise to be one of the strongest clans in the world. No one will dare to bully us again. This is wonderful, truly wonderful!"

Even though the second elder had experienced the events firsthand, hearing Jin Miaosen's recounting still left him unable to contain his excitement. He stepped forward, grasped the Grand Elder's shoulder, and said, "We need to start preparing. I expect the other main cities will soon return our clan members. We should be ready to welcome them. I believe that from now on, no one will dare to touch our people. Our clan members will no longer have to hide within the inner city. In the future, we will lead our people to spread the Ancestral Tree's brilliance across the entire Daemon Continent and even overseas."

Jin Miaosen chuckled and said, "Let's not rush things too much. We can talk about all that after my brother becomes an Emperor."

The Grand Elder exclaimed excitedly, "That's for sure! The clan leader is destined to become an Emperor. Over at the Ancestral Court, with the fall of the Crystal Demon Emperor, two Emperor positions have opened up. Our Solstice Empire was already aiming to replace the Crystal Demon Emperor and increase our overall power. The competition was far beyond our abilities to deal with; just think of that Scorching King from the Scorching Sunflower clan.

"But things are different now. For one, with the Adamant Nymph Emperor's fall, another Emperor position has opened up. The more positions available, the easier it is to compete. And then, with the Ancestral Tree awakening, the plant-type Emperors are sure to show us a little deference. Most importantly, the Ancestral Tree just killed the Adamant Nymph Emperor. Who would dare deny our clan leader this position? As long as the clan leader becomes an Emperor, Skytree City will undoubtedly rise and become a top-tier main city. Haha,

hahaha

!"

The Grand Elder laughed heartily, and the other elders couldn't help but feel equally excited and overjoyed. A few days ago, the thought of killing the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor would have seemed like a madman's dream. If they had held a vote among the elders, not a single one would have supported Jin Miaolin.

But with or without their support, he had succeeded, and for the Blue Gold Tree clan, this was nothing short of a revolution. As the clan leader himself had said moments before slaying an Emperor, it was their time to leave the shadows and walk proudly in the sunlight.

At this moment, Tang San had no time to care about how excited the Blue Gold Tree clan elders were. He was facing a serious problem.

Focusing his mind inward, he examined the state of his own body.

With the nourishment of the Ancestral Tree's life essence, Tang San's life energy was far more powerful than before, and his body was in absolute peak condition. His physical strength and toughness had become formidable, thanks to the many bloodlines belonging to demons with powerful physiques. However, even with all these factors combined, it was still impossible for him to fully contain the bloodline imprint of an Emperor.

The gap between the eleventh and twelfth orders was even greater than the difference between the first and eleventh orders. Forget about an eleventh-order being challenging an Emperor; under normal circumstances, even a hundred eleventh-order beings could not do anything other than pester the Emperor for a brief while before being massacred. This was why the Adamant Nymph Emperor hadn't even considered Tang San a threat—it was simply on a different level altogether.

Thus, even though Tang San possessed many bloodline imprints, including transcendent bloodlines, it was absolutely impossible for him to fully absorb the bloodline power of a twelfth-order being. That had never been his intention. What he needed to do now was create balance; in other words, make sure that the combined power of all the other things he possessed was above that of the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline imprint.

Under normal circumstances, achieving this balance would have required Tang San to become an Emperor, but right now, he was far from meeting the conditions for that. This was a serious issue. Even with the immense life energy from the Ancestral Tree, the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline imprint was still constantly stirring. If he wasn't careful, it could lead to a major disaster.

While the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan were celebrating joyously, Tang San found himself in a dire situation.

His best option right now was actually to release some of the Adamant Nymph Emperor's power. This would make it much easier for him to bear the remaining bloodline energy, and it would be the safest approach.

But if he had intended to take the safest approach, he could have just killed Jin Chengwu. Why go through all the trouble of fighting an Emperor? He had gone to great lengths to succeed and things had gone swimmingly; if he couldn't make full use of his gains, wouldn't all that planning be for nothing? No, that was simply not an option.

But since he didn't want to release the energy, he had to find a way to contain it.

So, as soon as Tang San began meditating, he started extracting power from the Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline imprint, integrating it into one of his other bloodline imprints.

Tang San's bloodline imprints were a far cry from what they used to be before godhood, and now, the Discerning Eye of Heaven had also advanced to the eleventh order. Although the Discerning Eye of Heaven wasn't as useful in direct combat as some of his other bloodline imprints, its Polar Luck Domain was priceless. In certain aspects, it could be considered the most powerful of Tang San's bloodlines.

Then there were his two transcendent bloodlines: the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor and the Golden Armor Transformation. These two were both at the eleventh order through Tang San's own cultivation, and they were immensely powerful, beyond question.

After these, in terms of power, came the Chrono Croc Transformation and Peacock Transformation. Surprisingly, it wasn't the Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline, but these two. The reason was simple—Tang San's new divine artifact, the Spacetime Lighthouse.

By using the Spacetime Lighthouse as an amplifier, both the Chrono Croc Transformation and the Peacock Transformation could be used far more effectively, with the former being just as strong as a first-tier bloodline in spite of only being a second-tier one. In fact, Tang San had even considered using the Spacetime Lighthouse to merge these two bloodline imprints into one, creating what would naturally be called the Spacetime Transformation, a transcendent power among transcendent powers.

But time and space were two of the most fundamental mysteries of the universe. To merge these two bloodline imprints was beyond Tang San's current cultivation level. Forget about Emperorhood; he would likely need to return to become a God King once more to attempt such a feat. The Spacetime Lighthouse was different, as its basic material had the powers of both time and space to begin with; otherwise, if he had to merge them himself, he would have had no chance.
