Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 346: Chapter 8: Draining the Ancestral Demon Tree (Happy New Year’s Eve)_2

…

The strength of Tianqing World is formidable. Placed in the Main World, it would certainly be at least a common clan, just below the Peak Clans and powerful clans.

The Ancestral Demon Tree has been able to confront the Tianqing Alliance for such a long time; its methods and foundations are definitely on the same level or even stronger.

“It must have held back something from me,”

“That’s normal, even if it’s an ancestor, it can’t possibly trust its progeny absolutely…”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He surmised that he was probably subject to some restrictions by the Ancestral Demon Tree, and as an offspring, it was too easy for the other party to leave some techniques in him.

...
…

“Just a bit more and I can grow to the Seventh Stage… There’s no rush…”

Lin Yuan assessed himself: thirty years ago, he was already at the peak of the Sixth Stage.

Here, the Sixth Stage and the Seventh Stage do not refer to the levels of strength or realm, but rather the growth height of the Demon Tree.

The reason Lin Yuan was reluctant to enter the Seventh Stage was that the Demon Tree at this stage was almost on the same level as the Ancestral Demon Tree.

The Ancestral Demon Tree, though it is said to be at the Eighth Stage, is only so in name; in essence, it is between the Seventh and Eighth Stages.

If Lin Yuan advances to the Seventh Stage, a second Demon Tree of the same level will be born. Even with the separation by the Tianqing World and Lin Yuan using secret techniques to hide, he will still be noticed by the Ancestral Demon Tree.

At that time, the Ancestral Demon Tree will certainly not hesitate to activate its countermeasures.

The emergence of a second Seventh Stage Demon Tree could very likely replace the Ancestral Demon Tree and become the new Foreign Evil God.

Compared with this, the Tianqing World is nothing.

Of course, Lin Yuan had long since sealed the Ancestral Demon Tree’s countermeasures, effectively freeing himself from the Ancestral Demon Tree’s control.

However, if this scene really happens, Lin Yuan estimates it will be difficult to take advantage of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Therefore, before confronting the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan will not advance to the Seventh Stage.

After all, the growth stages of the Demon Tree are not linked to strength.

Even at the Sixth Stage, Lin Yuan’s strength will still continue to rise.

…

“How are things on your end? When will you advance to the Fifth Stage?”

Several days later, the Ancestral Demon Tree proactively contacted Lin Yuan, sounding somewhat anxious.

Over the past thirty years, the leader of the Tianqing Alliance has been acting like a madman, attacking it repeatedly on his own initiative.

If it were in the past, the Ancestral Demon Tree certainly would not have indulged him.

But over the recent decades, in order to support Lin Yuan, it has already sacrificed a significant part of its Origin Source, and its strength has clearly diminished.

The Ancestral Demon Tree faintly felt that the Tianqing Alliance Leader has sensed its decline in strength and is now seizing the opportunity to strike at its weakest.

“Ancestor, I have been targeted by the Giant Elephant King of the Black Mist Mountain Range, and now I barely have any time to cultivate. That Giant Elephant King is too powerful; I lack offensive capabilities and can only passively defend and run. It’s too difficult…”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but say, glancing at the Giant Elephant King who was kneeling on the ground not far away, continuing to play the victim: “Ancestor, if I could kill the Giant Elephant King, I should be able to advance to the Fifth Stage in a short time…”

By rights, with the Origin Power sent by the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan should have advanced to the Fifth Stage long ago.

But the power Lin Yuan displayed was impeccable; he was being hunted and had no time to cultivate and grow.

“To kill the Giant Elephant King…”

The Ancestral Demon Tree’s thoughts fluctuated; in the area of controlling its offspring Demon Trees, besides being able to decide their life and death with a single thought,

it could also limit their many abilities and talents.

This was a countermeasure specifically left by the Ancestral Demon Tree.

If each offspring Demon Tree possessed all the abilities and talents of the Ancestral Demon Tree,

then the emergence of one that reached the Seventh Rank would be equivalent to a weakened version of the Ancestral Demon Tree, creating an unmanageable situation.

But by limiting the talents and abilities of the offspring Demon Tree, even if one luckily grew to the Seventh Rank, it would not have any substantial combat capability and could not resist the Ancestor.

“Enough.”

“Granting more abilities and talents isn’t much of a problem.”

“As long as the Giant Elephant King is dealt with and advanced to the Fifth Stage, establishing a spatial passage and my arrival in Tianqing World, I can immediately ‘recycle’ it, leaving no risks…”

The Ancestral Demon Tree pondered seriously for a while.

It wasn’t aware of the current state of Lin Yuan.

Nowadays, Lin Yuan had become the ‘uncrowned king’ of the Black Mist Mountain Range; if he wished, he could indeed cause a real disaster in the rear of Tianqing World.

Truth be told, even if Lin Yuan were to inform the Ancestral Demon Tree of his status now, the Ancestral Demon Tree might not believe him.

Because it would be too inconceivable.

In a mere hundred years, having infiltrated deep into the rear of the Tianqing World, isolated and without support, with his combat talents locked, merely surviving would already be extremely difficult.

How could he have grown to this extent?

“Fine.”

“I will grant you more talents and abilities.”

The Ancestral Demon Tree gritted its teeth and began to release the suppression on Lin Yuan.

Hum…

In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

Lin Yuan’s spirit converged on the cluster of dark flames at the root area.

Just at this moment.

A slight fluctuation slowly emanated from the dark flames.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan almost activated the seal to suppress the dark flames immediately, only to reconsider that the Ancestral Demon Tree should still be of great use to him at the moment.

The tree wouldn’t make a move against him.

“Let’s see what this fluctuation is about first…”

Lin Yuan was cautious, ready to activate the sealing technique at any moment—should this fluctuation have any adverse effects on him.

He would immediately seal it up and stop it.

Hum…..

The mysterious fluctuation slowly spread.

Upon touching Lin Yuan’s body, it seemed to unlock some kind of binding restriction.

A feeling of extreme satisfaction suddenly surged through Lin Yuan.

“This…”

Almost simultaneously, many of the Ancestral Demon Tree’s abilities poured into Lin Yuan’s mind.

Like the roots of space.

The Ancestral Demon Tree could insert its roots into the void, absorbing nearly endless void energy.

This power is also one of the most important abilities for each Foreign Evil God.

Foreign Evil Gods wander the vast and endless void, and they may not find a world for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

During this time, how are the Foreign Evil Gods to survive?

The void is filled with spatial turbulence, which is impossible to absorb.

At times like this, the utility of the roots of space becomes evident.

They are what sustain the basic survival of the Foreign Evil Gods.

Besides the roots of space.

Lin Yuan also awakened a multitude of combat abilities.

Such as Space Lash, Fiendgod Gaze, and so on.

These abilities, akin to talents, are the foundation that enabled the Ancestral Demon Tree to dominate beyond its world.

Even when facing other Foreign Evil Gods, it could hold its own.

“Too many, too many…”

Lin Yuan was exceptionally thrilled; he had thought that the Ancestral Demon Tree would unlock its abilities one by one.

But he didn’t expect the tree to be so generous—had it really just opened up completely?

“From this perspective, the situation of the Ancestral Demon Tree outside the world must be very tough…”

Lin Yuan mused to himself. However, in the blink of an eye, he turned all his focus to these newly awakened abilities.

The Ancestral Demon Tree’s many abilities were exceedingly rare and even bizarre, not inferior to the Physical Body Divine Ability of ‘Blood Rebirth’.

With his Against-Heaven’s Understanding, Lin Yuan could fully apprehend these abilities and incorporate them into the Martial Arts Evolution System.

“Ancestor…”

Lin Yuan barely shifted his focus, about to express his thanks to the Ancestor and conveniently declare his loyalty,

when he heard the Ancestral Demon Tree suddenly let out a roar.

Right after that, the frustrated voice of the Ancestral Demon Tree came: “That madman is here again, damn it, do you really think I can’t kill you just because you hold the World Sword?”

The next moment.

Lin Yuan’s connection with the Ancestral Demon Tree was severed.

Clearly, the Ancestral Demon Tree was forced to engage the Tianqing Alliance Leader and had no energy to maintain its connection with Lin Yuan.

“That’s bad…”

Lin Yuan fell silent for a while, then sighed.

As the Ancestral Demon Tree fought a life and death battle outside of the world, and since it had given its Origin Source to Lin Yuan, it was under certain restraints.

Meanwhile, the primary culprit for all this, Lin Yuan, was leisurely located deep within the Tianqing World, using resources plundered from the Ancestral Demon Tree to cultivate and rapidly become stronger.

The two situations were worlds apart.

It even made Lin Yuan feel a bit embarrassed.
