Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 906 - 904 Tianyang Spirit King
Dressed in everyday robes with a texture akin to silk, the material seemed immensely comfortable. He was holding and reading a book in his hands. His countenance was very young and no longer as if obscured by mist; his handsome visage exuded a sunny disposition. A head of pale golden long hair neatly cascaded down his back, and his whole presence had the scholarly elegance of a learned man.
"Please have a seat." He gestured towards the couch on the other side, signaling Tang San, then stood up to put the book he held back on the shelf.
Observing the person before him who appeared to be around the same age as his human identity, Tang San's vigilance heightened instantly.
Without a doubt, this was the legendary naturally nurtured Tianyang Spirit King. However, he was very different from what Tang San had envisioned. This being had not a trace of mundane aura, and he couldn't even sense any powerful presence. Tang San even suspected that this might not be the Tianyang Spirit King's real body but just a divine consciousness clone. Yet the strength of this divine consciousness surpassed any emperor he had ever encountered.
Of course, that might be because he hadn't seen the Crystal Great Demon Emperor in his peak form, but at least compared to entities like the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the divine consciousness of the one before him was far superior.
Regarding his own judgment, Tang San had no doubts, for he himself bore the position of godhood and was extremely sensitive to the perception of divine consciousness.
Tang San complied and walked over to the couch but didn't sit down first, instead waiting.
The Tianyang Spirit King put away the book and then walked over to him with a smile.
Raising his hand to point at the couch, he then sat down in the principal seat first, always wearing a genial smile on his face.
Only then did Tang San sit down on the couch by his side, displaying a respectful demeanor outwardly.
The Tianyang Spirit King said with a smile, "There's no need to be nervous. From you, I sense the familiar aura of the Tree Ancestor. It's quite nostalgic. Back when I had just become an emperor, I once went to Bianmu City to pay my respects to the Tree Ancestor. I gained insights from the Tree Ancestor's life aura which greatly helped in my later advancement. The Tree Ancestor is the progenitor of our Plant-class Sprite Clan, without whom the Plant Sprites of today wouldn't exist. Speaking of which, I feel quite apologetic that all these years, I have not been able to properly look after the Blue Golden Tree Clan, causing your clansmen distress."
The more amiable the Tianyang Spirit King seemed to be, the more Tang San's vigilance grew. He faintly felt that this was an existence even more fearsome than the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. To think that such an entity existed in the Rihchen Empire. Could this really be a buddha-like emperor?
"Your Majesty is too kind. Without your and Earth Yin's Majesty's protection, I'm afraid our Clan would have lost Bianmu City long ago."
The Tianyang Spirit King waved his hand and said, "It's our duty. No existence has the right to disturb the Tree Ancestor's slumber. This awakening of the Tree Ancestor has brought the resurgence of the Blue Golden Tree Clan's glory, and I too am very pleased. I also hope that the Tree Ancestor could bestow more of its radiance upon us successors. Oh, by the way, I sent you a gift. I wonder if you have received it?"
Tang San paused for a second, "A gift? Indeed many principal cities have sent quite a few things lately, but which one are you referring to...?"
The Tianyang Spirit King smiled gently and said, "Jin Miaolin! Of course, it was that genuine Jin Miaolin."
Upon hearing his words, Tang San instantly tensed up. The bloodline brand inside him nearly activated. Regarding who had sent Jin Miaolin back, he hadn't delved deeply at the time because all the major cities and species were sending the members of the Blue Golden Tree Clan back home, but there was no source to trace. Now, with that one statement from the Tianyang Spirit King, Tang San immediately felt a strong pressure emanating from this Four-Heaven Emperor.
He actually knew the true Jin Miaolin, and it was he who sent Jin Miaolin back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang San slightly calmed his own mind and said indifferently.
The Tianyang Spirit King showed a look of appreciation, "When you heard what I said just now, you were very surprised, so you definitely didn't know that I was the one who sent Jin Miaolin back. But you regained your composure immediately. Not bad, no wonder the Tree Ancestor has chosen you to be the heir. The glory of the Blue Golden Tree Clan is expected to be restored."
Tang San's mind raced, pondering many possibilities, "Your Majesty, may I know what Jin Miaolin's relationship with you is..."
The Tianyang Spirit King's smile remained undiminished, "To be honest, I feel ashamed. Previously, Jin Miaolin came to the Tianyang Palace seeking my help, hoping that I would look out for the Blue Golden Tree Clan on behalf of the Tree Ancestor. At that time, I was somewhat involved, and my health wasn't good. I handed this matter over to the Sun City, but I later learned that those clansmen from the Sun City had misunderstood my intention and had actually imprisoned it. It wasn't until the recent revival of the Tree Ancestor that I remembered its matter, made inquiries, and discovered that they had imprisoned it. Only then did I send it back to your Jianmu City. It seems like you have taken proper care of it now, right?"
Tang San said faintly, "Its sea of divine consciousness was shattered, and it has been in a daze; I've also had difficulty identifying its identity. Currently, I am letting it rest, and I hope it can recover its health in the future."
From the words of the Tianyang Spirit King, he had already understood some specific circumstances.
The Jin Miaolin that left the Blue Golden Tree Clan must have actively come to the Ancestral Court to seek help from the Tianyang Spirit King, hoping that this strongest Emperor could take a stand for it and support the Blue Golden Tree Clan. But it forgot how attractive it was to others, being a direct lineage heir of the Tree Ancestor and also of regal rank.
Perhaps beings of the Tianyang Spirit King's level didn't need such life force, but the Sunflower Spirit Clan surely needed it. The words of the Tianyang Spirit King were of course beautifying himself; without his consent, who would dare to imprison a person he recommended? Moreover, the sea of divine consciousness was broken, an injury that even Tang San couldn't repair before he restored his Godking status.
Thus, even if Jin Miaolin was sent back, unless it was a being very familiar with it like Jin Miaosen, it was feared that even the Elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan would not be able to recognize the Tree Ancestor bloodline in that weakened body, which had changed greatly in appearance. Its bloodline aura was very faint at the time, and if not for Tang San constantly using his divine consciousness to feel it, he would not have detected the aura of the direct lineage of the Ancestral Tree. Therefore, although Jin Miaolin was sent back, the Tianyang Spirit King probably knew that it wasn't much of a threat to him.
The Tianyang Spirit King said with a smile, "That's good. Alas, speaking of which, this matter is also where we owe your Blue Golden Tree Clan. If you have any needs, just mention them to me, and within my ability, I will certainly help you."
Tang San said earnestly, "Your Majesty's longstanding protection is fundamentally vital for the survival of our clan; we do not dare to ask for more. But today, having the opportunity to meet you has greatly excited me. As you know, our Blue Golden Tree Clan has always been weak, with only strong life force and not apt at fighting. If possible, could I request that my clan be under your protection, and in the future, we will only follow your directives?"
The Tianyang Spirit King waved his hand and said, "Not directives. But we are all of the Plant-class; we are essentially one family. In the future, if the Blue Golden Tree Clan needs anything, I naturally will not stand by idly. Do you have any plans for yourself? Your report this time, in my view, has no issues."

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "I personally don't have any. My only wish is to protect my clansmen and, as much as possible, prevent tragedies from happening again."
The Tianyang Spirit King said, "It's always good to have some ideas. The fall of the Diamond Elf King could be said to be a consequence of his own actions, but now the vacant position of Emperor has increased, and there will inevitably be some competition with the Tianyu Empire. In my view, you are one of the ones most suited to achieve the status of Emperor on our side. You must strive for it!"
