Chapter 211: Divine Wood
"Take it!"
The next moment, the Six-story Glazed Tower in Lin Yue's hand immediately flew up, its base revealing a dark and deep hollow that radiated overwhelming attraction, drawing in the Phoenix Demon Ancestor lost in bewilderment, the Great Yu State Preceptor, and the Demon God of Discrepancy.
These four surely possessed soul lamps or similar means within the Demon Clan, and the strange treasure used to isolate the space couldn't sever the connection to the soul lamps. Killing them would definitely alert the Demon Clan.
Therefore, they couldn't be killed just yet.
Especially the Phoenix Demon Ancestor, who was once the wife of the Human Ancestor and had never harmed the Human Clan. How to deal with her required further consideration.
"Let's deal with Liangwang City first."
Lin Yue put away the tower and looked toward the Liangwang City below.
He still maintained the 'World God Dharma Body' state, his figure gigantically exaggerated, enough for all cultivators in Liangwang City to notice him.
From the lowest-level cultivators to the lofty Saint level practitioners, all gazed at him with awe bordering on fear.
Even the Great Yu State Preceptor and the Demon Clan Ancestor were powerless to resist; what could they do?
Lin Yue's divine thought spread sweeping over them, then he slightly raised an eyebrow: "The Demon Clan actually nurtured nearly a hundred Human Clan Saints in Liangwang City? Though there aren't many who attained Saint against the odds, their sheer number isn't much less than that of Great Yong in the past, no wonder Liangwang City has seized such a massive fortune..."
In the height of Great Yong, there were only over a hundred Saints, mainly because the proportion of those defying odds to reach Saint was quite high, and there were numerous geniuses, allowing Great Yong to hold seven to eight tenths of the Human Clan's fortune.
But clearly, Liangwang City had also been meticulously cultivated by the Demon Clan, with greater intensity than the Human Clan.
According to Xiahou Shou's memories, the so-called Martial Ancestor Sect of Liangwang City provided Inner Sect Disciples with the opportunity to receive guidance from the Demon Gods stationed there.
The Demon Clan, pioneered by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, mastered Martial Arts, each recognized as Martial Gods.
Receiving direct guidance from such beings, even occasionally, yields great benefits.
In Great Yong, such good fortune did not exist; without being an unparalleled genius, one couldn't even dream of it. It was only the Demon Clan's ulterior motives that led to such efforts.
"However, once these Liangwang City Human Clan Saints join Great Yong, the fate of Great Yong can be restored..."
Sitting cross-legged on the clouds, Lin Yue gazed down at Liangwang City, then flipped his hand to take out a crystal-clear jade-green cup.
To be precise, it was actually an incomparably large altar; relative to his current stature, it was merely a small cup.
In the altar, soil and a jade-like sapling could be seen, emitting a faint divine radiance.
This was the Ancient Times treasure, the 'Faith Divine Tree.'
In the Ancient Times, certain clans would consolidate their clan's fortune by having the entire clan worship a specific individual; firm belief binds and unifies fortune.
In other words, if the worshiped person and the clan shared one heart, their fortune unified.
This Faith Divine Tree was a precious item that helps establish faith.
"I am Great Yong's King Xia."
Amid the resounding voice echoing through Liangwang City, Lin Yue's grand and majestic figure overshadowed the entire city like a sky cradled shadow, inducing reverence in almost all.
As he spoke, the Faith Divine Tree shone with boundless radiance, transforming into a torrential rain of light descending upon Liangwang City.
The rain of light from the Faith Divine Tree enveloped all Human Clan members within Liangwang City, with no physical effect, only merging into their minds.
But all those absorbed in the divine light entered a unique state; it felt as if that grand majestic figure appeared deep within their hearts simultaneously, engrained in their minds.
"King Xia..."
"Could it be the Divine has come to save our Liangwang City?"
"Great Yong's King Xia..."
At that moment, the once small Faith Divine Tree within the altar started growing, nourished by the intangible divine belief, growing rapidly and spreading branches.
In just moments, it reached a height of ten thousand feet, and continued to grow.
"It truly works."
Lin Yue revealed a hint of a smile, watching the swiftly growing Faith Divine Tree.
It is said that during Ancient Times, the Faith Divine Trees of powerful clans, when faith was strong and united, could grow to several hundred thousand feet high.
The Human Clan of Liangwang City was evidently not as strong, achieving over ten thousand feet was already favorable.
Moreover, this was due to the supreme impression left when he made a move earlier, allowing the Faith Divine Tree to garner so many believers.
Otherwise, the Faith Divine Tree couldn't have twisted so many minds.
Thus, he grandly displayed the World God Dharma Body cultivation method for all of Liangwang City to notice him, demonstrating publicly.
"Excellent, the vast majority of Liangwang City's people have become my believers."
Lin Yue showed a hint of a smile, "Only those with a Perfect Dao Heart can resist the Faith Divine Tree, yet there isn't a single Perfect Dao Heart among Liangwang City's Human Clan Saints...Well, considering they were guided by Demon Gods and confined in such a small place, their Dao Heart's tempering ultimately falls short."
Overcoming numerous cultivation obstacles is itself a form of tempering of the spirit.
If obstacles require reliance on others for guidance to overcome, naturally the Dao Heart isn't strong, making achieving Perfect Dao Heart difficult.
Nevertheless, the Demon Clan aimed merely to spur more Human Clan Saints in Liangwang City, seizing Human Clan fortune; only proving required a Perfect Dao Heart, strategically avoiding Liangwang City's birth of Proving and Transcending transcendents.
