Chapter 1180 Xuanyu 36
Take Teng Qing for example; he is currently at the late stage of the first-order Immortal Lord realm. This cultivation speed is undoubtedly astonishing. An ordinary Immortal Lord, if he cultivates diligently, can basically advance a major realm every ten thousand years.
Tan You poured herself a cup of tea, wondering when Jin Han would emerge from seclusion. Since Jin Han's ascension, a new generation of little demons and plant spirits in Biluo Ridge had grown up.
Although they haven't ascended yet, at least they can help teach the little monsters and the newly awakened plant spirits below, so Tan You doesn't really need to take the lead.
All I can say is that she's just spending time in the lower realms; to be honest, it's not exactly a hardship for her.
Perhaps the most difficult time for her after coming into this world was the period when she was recovering from her injuries, and later when she underwent the tribulation of lightning. As for this eighth-order tribulation of lightning, Tan You relied on the formation and did not suffer much hardship.
--split line--
Within a certain pack, the enormous Netherwolf swept its gaze across the wolf cubs, its eyes filled with unparalleled majesty.
"Several plant spirits have been born in Biluoling this year. Do you guys have the confidence to pass Biluoling's entrance exam this year?"
The wolf cubs below howled: [We're confident!]
Wolf King: "We're not after the bloodline of the Howling Moon Wolf, but if your own talents are exceptional enough to catch Lord Xuan Yu's eye..."
The little wolf cub howled again. Who wouldn't want the bloodline of a divine beast?
Two years ago, a little bird next door caught the eye of a certain plant spirit and then obtained the essence blood of a Chongming bird from Lord Xuanyu. It was just a little bird, but it immediately reverted to its ancestral form and became a pure-blooded Chongming bird.
Once the news spread, which monster wouldn't be envious?
Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a mythical beast?
Similar conversations were taking place among various clans. All the powerful demons knew that Tan You possessed the essence of a divine beast. Since she, a mermaid with a black tail, certainly couldn't use it herself, these powerful demons inevitably began to devise ways to help her.
However, obtaining the essence blood of a divine beast is not so easy. In addition to having good talent, one must also sign a life contract with the spirits of the plants and trees of Biluo Ridge.
The great demons felt they could satisfy the first point; as for the second point…
That's incredibly difficult, because the spirits of plants and trees in Biluo Ridge are extremely scarce; there are far more monks than porridge. Although it's even more challenging for powerful demons to form contracts with spirits of plants and trees to overcome tribulations, they don't lose out, because Biluo Ridge has complete cultivation techniques for demon beasts.
Who told Tan You to be so greedy, taking away other people's inherited memories while collecting the essence of divine beasts? Now, the library of Biluo Ridge is practically a sacred place in the eyes of great demons.
Furthermore, forming a contract with the spirits of plants and trees isn't entirely without its benefits. Almost all spirits of plants and trees possess healing abilities. By forming a contract with them, a powerful demon's injuries will heal quickly, which is undoubtedly very rare in battle. It's not like the powerful demon is providing free aid to the plant and tree species.
Biluo Ridge was very lively today, with powerful demons and all sorts of little brats coming and going.
As for the plant and tree race, Tan You has never seen any powerful figures from them since she came to this world. The plant and tree spirits of Biluo Ridge were all collected by her over the years using the deductions from the blue stone chessboard.
It's safe to say that it's incredibly difficult to enlighten the spirits of plants and trees.
Whenever a new spirit of plants and trees is born, it is the time for Biluo Ridge to recruit students. In the past, Tan You had to go out and find little demon beasts, but now the great demons will voluntarily send the little demon beasts in their clans over, just to seek that little bit of fate.
Tan You stood with her hands behind her back atop the library, watching the comings and goings of demonic beasts, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. In this world, she had been completely nurtured, leveling up by raising her pets, rarely actually taking action herself.
Jin Ming stood beside her: "Lord, almost all the great demons from the Ten Directions Mountains have come this year, and they have all brought their most talented little ones from their clans." Tan You nodded: "I saw it. Jin Ming, ever since Jin Han ascended, you have been managing Biluo Ridge. You have been doing a great job."
Jinming leaned on Tan You's shoulder: "It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Lord."
Perhaps it was because he was once a golden ring snake, and Jinming was a purple ring snake, but now Jinming is also at the tenth level. I estimate that in another thousand years, Jinming should ascend to immortality.
To be honest, watching the little ones she had once mentored ascend to immortality before her eyes, Tan You's feelings were indeed somewhat complicated. She was the undisputed ancestor of Biluo Ridge, but in terms of cultivation, her own advancement was extremely slow.
Jin Ming pursed his lips: "After I ascend, I will help Sister Jin Han manage Biluo Ridge. Sister Jin Han sent back a message last time that those who have ascended have already settled in her clan's territory."
Tan You chuckled: "Alright, then I'll wait to live off you and Jin Han."
Jin Ming said earnestly, "Lord, you raised me when I was young, so we will definitely take care of you when you are old."
Tan You tapped her head, her face beaming with uncontrollable laughter: "Am I old? Well, Jin Han has been an immortal for almost ten thousand years."
Jin Ming: "Lord, you are not old. We all know that it is because of the shackles of your bloodline. You are the pillar of Biluo Ridge."
Tan You chuckled: "Alright, go and preside over the admission ceremony. Make sure you watch carefully. Also, if you have any promising successors, nurture them well. You can't have Biluo Ridge left unattended after you ascend to immortality."
Jinming looked at him with affection: "I understand, sir, please don't worry."
Upper Bound.
Jin Han, Teng Qing, Jin Ming, along with the little monsters and plant spirits from Biluo Ridge, all gathered around the Ascension Platform, their faces filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Mo Long, Exploding Tiger, and other powerful demons who had previously interacted with Tan You were also in a corner of the Ascension Platform. Everyone had come here for one purpose: to welcome Tan You.
Seeing that the Ascension Platform remained silent, Mo Long grew impatient: "She can't possibly fail, can she? We all ascended, there's no reason why she can't..."
"Shut up!" A female cultivator in black spat. "The lord will not fail. We have received information that the lord is currently undergoing her tribulation. She will definitely ascend."
"Besides, if you can ascend, then the adult can certainly do it too."
This is the Devouring Hound that Tan You obtained in the Western Continent. After acquiring the bloodline of a divine beast, it ascended to immortality more than six thousand years ago. Thousands of years have passed since Tan You last saw it. Although they can communicate, things are fundamentally different.
Jin Zhan stood at a distance, watching the group of young immortals eagerly anticipating their arrival, his curiosity about Tan You growing even stronger. He had specially accompanied Tan You on her ascension to the upper realm, wanting to see her and also to thank her in person, given that both Jin Han and Jin Ming were exceptionally outstanding.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a female cultivator in black appeared on the Ascension Platform. It was Tan You, who had just ascended.
