Chapter 97: Merging with the Innate Dao Tree? Jiang Shenwang is Shocked!

Lin Family.

Feixian Palace.

Lin Ao Tian sat cross-legged on a jade bed, having fully integrated the “Formation” Secret.

He then looked at the Innate Dao Tree before him, which was exuding a supreme aura.

After a moment.

He slowly closed his eyes, activating the Dao Embryo within him.

*Buzz!*

A wave of Dao energy surged, and the nine Great Emperor Dao Fruits emitted different colored lights.

The next second.

The Innate Dao Tree slowly floated towards him.

It gradually merged into his body.

*Boom!*

Within his spiritual sea, besides the eight rotating golden characters, after the appearance of the “Formation” character, it seemed to become the leader of the other characters, guiding them to rotate in a special order.

They formed a massive circle.

Within the circle, countless stars were continuously born, and it seemed as if signs of life were emerging on those stars.

Lin Ao Tian watched this miraculous scene with some surprise, speculating in his heart.

If he were to gather all nine secrets, perhaps life could truly be created within him.

Amidst this, a towering ancient tree suddenly appeared.

*Ding!*

A Dao sound rang out.

The eight golden characters instantly surrounded the Innate Dao Tree, extremely vigilant, as if they were very resistant to this sudden intruder.

The Innate Dao Tree was not to be outdone, and the nine Dao Fruits emitted a dazzling light, with imperial might appearing.

The shadows of nine ancient Great Emperors flickered in and out of existence.

It was as if they were not in the past, nor in the future, but within the river of time, their faces obscured.

Lin Ao Tian frowned slightly, and his thoughts followed.

The eight golden characters seemed to receive a command from their king, and their light gradually dimmed.

The system’s rewards were naturally obedient.

But the Innate Dao Tree was different; Lin Ao Tian could clearly feel its resistance and aloofness.

Lin Ao Tian smiled faintly.

Heh, interesting.

Let’s see how proud you can be.

With a single thought.

The eight characters emitted different powers of law, forcibly shattering those shadows.

Then they began to rotate around the Innate Dao Tree, pouring out the pressure of the laws.

The Innate Dao Tree swayed slightly, as if it was holding on, but also shocked.

It hadn’t expected these characters to easily crush the pressure it released; this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.

However, it was a sacred object of heaven and earth, so how could it submit so easily? It began a fierce resistance.

And so, the nine secrets within Lin Ao Tian’s body continued to wear down the Innate Dao Tree.

Lin Ao Tian watched coldly.

Since you don’t want to submit, then I’ll erase your consciousness and start over.

I, Lin Ao Tian, don’t need anything with divided loyalties.

He wasn’t surprised that the nine secrets could suppress the Innate Dao Tree, which held nine Great Emperor Dao Fruits.

The nine ancient Heavenly Venerables created the secrets, embodying the power of the universe’s laws. Even a single character was no weaker than the Innate Dao Tree.

Let alone now, with eight characters.

However, Lin Ao Tian was also quite relieved.

The Great Emperor Dao Fruits that Emperor Wu Shi had obtained were not from a quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Otherwise, the eight secrets might not have been able to handle it.

After all, that would be a being close to an Immortal Emperor.

Time slowly passed…

Who knows how long it took, but the Innate Dao Tree finally sent out a plea for mercy.

But Lin Ao Tian paid no attention.

Either submit from the start, or be obliterated.

…

Meanwhile.

In an ancient garden within Feixian Palace.

Ji Yue’er stood with her hands on her hips, her purple eyes glaring at the little girl in front of her, “Sister Qingcheng, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll get angry!”

She really hadn’t expected this.

This little girl was so difficult to deal with.

After Lin Ao Tian left, it was as if she had become a different person.

She didn’t speak, just stared at her.

It took Ji Yue’er a lot of effort to persuade her to come to the other courtyard.

She thought, it’s just a child!

Give her some candy, coax her a bit, and maybe show her a little magic trick.

Wouldn’t that be enough?

Ji Yue’er had already started fantasizing about successfully winning her over, making her a close ally. After all, she was still young and posed no threat.

But when she implemented her plan, offering candy with a big smile.

Ye Qingcheng just looked at her indifferently, her gaze as if she were looking at an idiot.

Completely different from ordinary mortal children, and no matter how Ji Yue’er tried to talk to her, she didn’t respond, just kept staring at her without blinking, making Ji Yue’er shiver involuntarily.

Jiang Luoli, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh. Watching Ji Yue’er’s foolish behavior, she finally couldn’t resist sending a voice transmission.

“Idiot, you really haven’t learned anything. This little girl was with Emperor Wu Shi, her background is mysterious. How could she be like those mortal children?”

“You think you can coax her with candy?”

“Why don’t you just go die!”

Ji Yue’er suddenly realized.

Uh…

Right!

It seems I was too distracted by jealousy and got careless!

She then rubbed her chin, staring at Ye Qingcheng with a thoughtful look.

Ye Qingcheng, however, just glanced at her indifferently, then turned to look at Jiang Luoli.

Since the previous life, she hadn’t been very fond of Ji Yue’er.

She wasn’t very interested in this somewhat dim-witted woman.

Jiang Luoli also felt Ye Qingcheng’s gaze, and with her hands behind her back, she smiled slightly, “Would you like me to guide you in cultivation?”

As she spoke, battle patterns swirled in her pupils, and her divine body emitted a faint glow, like a female war god.

Ji Yue’er was stunned for a moment, secretly mocking.

You have the nerve to criticize me?

This is your approach?

What a joke, why don’t you ask her if she wants to fight?

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng looked at her with a half-smile, a strange expression in her eyes.

“Jiang Luoli, it’s been a long time, and you haven’t changed at all…”

A voice, ethereal and melodious like the sound of heaven, echoed in Jiang Luoli’s mind.

“Who?!”

Jiang Luoli’s face instantly changed, her body trembling as if struck by lightning.

“Jiang Luoli, who do you think I am?”

This voice…

It’s her?!

No!

It can’t be!

How could she appear now!

She didn’t even reincarnate with us back then!

However, when Jiang Luoli saw the Dao patterns swirling in the little girl’s indifferent pupils.

She was completely stunned!

It was as if she had been struck by lightning and was frozen in place.

Several voice transmissions went out like stones sinking into the sea, with no response.

The few seconds Jiang Luoli stood there felt like an eternity to her, her mind constantly racing, her expression changing.

From the appearance of the young Emperor Wu Shi, to the mention of a great gift, to Ye Qingcheng’s appearance…

What originally seemed abrupt suddenly became a clear line.

If all of this was orchestrated by her, then it wasn’t surprising.

The young Emperor Wu Shi was likely her true self!

No wonder… I was wondering how even a shadow left by an emperor could carry the Innate Dao Tree.

No wonder Emperor Wu Shi was so generous, giving away the Innate Dao Tree he had nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years. It all makes sense if he already knew Lin Lang’s identity…

At this point, everything became clear.

Noticing the change in Jiang Luoli’s expression, Ye Qingcheng knew that Jiang Luoli understood!

Although Jiang Luoli was battle-hungry, she was still very smart.

Ye Qingcheng knew this well, which is why she chose to tell Jiang Luoli first instead of Ji Yue’er!
