Chapter 1151: Life is Sublimating
For ordinary people, the feelings aren't particularly intense. They only sense that every day in the Ancestral Court brings a sense of ease and comfort, and cultivating here produces results with half the effort. This phenomenon is especially noticeable for the Spirit Monster race.
But for Emperor-level beings, their powerful divine consciousness allows them to continuously perceive the myriad changes occurring within the Ancestral Court.
Since the emergence of the Tower of Life, the life force within the Ancestral Court has become increasingly dense. What's even stranger is that the various attributes of Origin Energy, which were initially somewhat mixed within the Ancestral Court, have begun to manifest greater purity under the nourishment of this vast life aura. Even their levels have increased.
For the Emperors, this goes beyond merely enhancing their life force; even their cultivation bases have been strengthened.
For beings at the Emperor Peak level, like the Tianyang Spirit King and the Undying Great Demon Emperor, the changes are less pronounced. However, for those whose cultivation bases are somewhat weaker, such as the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the effects are distinctly conspicuous and profound.
Furthermore, as Tang San and Pretty Girl continued their closed-door cultivation, the Emperors discovered that the life force released from the Tower of Life was not only increasing in quantity but also improving in quality.
This realization was utterly shocking for them. It demonstrated not only that Jin Miaolin has been steadily enhancing his cultivation base during his closed-door period but also that this life force would provide them with greater benefits—more life energy to extend their lifespans!
Some Emperors have even started to wish they could rotate to guard the Blue Gold Palace earlier, as it would allow them to be closest to the palace and better experience its effects. Guarding the Blue Gold Palace has transitioned from being a duty to something akin to a reward.
To ensure the Emperors could absorb this high-level life force more effectively, an order was issued from the Ancestral Court: within ten kilometers of the Blue Gold Palace, no living being was permitted entry. This mandate was absolute.
What they didn't know was that the reason the life force from the Tower of Life continued to grow stronger was due to the increasing potency of Tang San's Chaos Qi. Nourished by Chaos Qi, the aura from the Blue Gold Transformation Mark was evolving, which naturally influenced the Tower of Life as well.
If an Emperor were allowed to enter the Blue Gold Palace at this time, they would understand what the world of gods truly felt like.
Inside the Blue Gold Palace, immortal aura pervaded the air, accompanied by dense life energy and the presence of Chaos Qi. These were the most supreme forms of energy.
Pretty Girl immersed herself in this energy during her closed-door cultivation, her body enveloped in a faint, colorful radiance.
The Emperors grew increasingly eager for Jin Miaolin to break through and ascend to Emperor status. The benefits he brought to the Ancestral Court before reaching Emperor-level were already massive. So what kind of unprecedented impact would he deliver after becoming an Emperor?
Such possibilities were beyond imagination!
In the midst of the collective anticipation, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The Blue Gold Palace remained tranquil, except for the continuously strengthening life force emanating from it, which served as a clear indication of the presence of the couple within.
During these six months of gradual elevation, the Emperors found themselves baffled. Based on their estimates, the level of life energy originating from the Tower of Life should only be achievable after Jin Miaolin ascended to Emperor status. Yet, this energy had already manifested.
In just half a year, nearly every Emperor's life force had increased by a century—yes, a whole century! This increase was immensely beneficial, especially for older beings such as the Tianyang Spirit King and the Undying Great Demon Emperor. An additional hundred years of life meant a greater chance to pursue further breakthroughs.
What excited them even more was that Jin Miaolin had yet to ascend to Emperor status.
The Tianyang Spirit King was particularly ecstatic. In the past, Jin Miaolin had promised her that the first Emperor-level Blue Gold Fruit he nurtured after his ascension would be gifted to her. At the time, she had simply been happy. But now, with the life aura radiating from the Tower of Life reaching such unprecedented intensity, her anticipation had grown into something far beyond simple excitement.
She hadn't anticipated an event with such fervor in over a thousand years. If she obtained the Blue Gold Fruit, could her lifespan extend by a millennium? At the very least, five hundred years, right? Such an enhancement might even allow her to reach the level of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor in her prime. What could be more wonderful?
As the Emperors fixated on the Tower of Life each day with eagerness in their eyes, the life energy radiating from the tower suddenly ceased intensifying and instead reached a stabilized state.
In response, the Emperors immediately convened.
Gathering near the Blue Gold Palace, they silently observed the changes taking place in the Tower of Life.
Soon, they confirmed that the Blue Gold Palace was fine, and the Tower of Life was unharmed. While slightly disappointed, they reasoned that Jin Miaolin had likely reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, causing the energy rise to plateau. It also meant he was likely nearing the stage of crossing the tribulation.
Their assessment proved accurate. At this very moment, within the Blue Gold Palace, Tang San's progress with Chaos Qi had already reached its pinnacle.
Through repeated compression and refinement, his Chaos Qi had now fully supported the Chaos Blue Silver Emperor Mark. Tang San's cultivation had completely reached the Great Demon King Peak stage.
After six months of cultivation, Pretty Girl had long since reached her own peak. She now maintained an alert state, as continuing her cultivation would inevitably trigger her Emperor Tribulation.
The nurturing effects of the immortal aura were simply extraordinary; a single day of cultivation here could rival a hundred days in the outside world. During these six months, Pretty Girl had adjusted her three major Bloodline Brands and the Asura God's Sword to perfection. Even her breathing was cautious now, lest she accidentally provoke the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this moment, she remained beside Tang San, silently awaiting the end of his closed-door cultivation.
With his Chaos Qi now fully refined, Tang San exhaled deeply, his eyes slowly opening.
Upon sensing his awakening, Pretty Girl immediately approached him. "How's it going?"
Tang San instantly grasped her current state with a sweep of his divine consciousness. "The foundation is complete. Next, I will adjust my Bloodline Brands. Distance yourself from me—head to the thirteenth level of the Tower of Life to avoid being influenced by my bloodline aura. Be ready; once I finish adjusting my Bloodline Brands, the tribulation will begin for both of us."
"Understood!" Pretty Girl nodded firmly, her eyes brimming with concern but refraining from offering additional advice to avoid distracting him.
Only after ensuring that Pretty Girl had reached the thirteenth level of the Tower of Life did Tang San close his eyes once again.
The white Chaos Qi within his Chaos Blue Silver Emperor had transformed into a swirling vortex, a state necessary to seal even more Chaos Qi within it.
Tang San slightly stabilized his current state. His divine consciousness, nourished by Chaos Qi and immortal aura, had already experienced substantial leaps in strength. The Sea God's godhood stood steadfast.
Injecting his divine consciousness, his godhood gently pulsed, forming a layer of faint radiance that enveloped Tang San's body. Behind him, a figure identical to him, shimmering faintly in blue and gold hues, quietly emerged. This figure held the Sea God's Trident as it steadied itself at his back.
In that instant, Tang San's aura was entirely concealed by the Sea God's godhood, coinciding with the moment the Emperors outside perceived the stabilizing life aura from the Blue Gold Palace's Tower of Life.
The Sea God's godhood truly belonged to the Divine Realm and was a presence that transcended the realm of Falan Planet. What Tang San was doing now was using the Sea God's godhood to cloak his own aura, preventing it from leaking and being detected by the planet's consciousness.
