Having the Fire Dragon Spirit with Extreme Fire immediately elevated Tang Yue's combat power by a large margin.
Combined with her Super Mage cultivation, Tang Yue was now an invincible existence below Forbidden Magic.
After advancing to Super-Tier Mage, Tang Yue and Lin Chen discussed it, and she successfully awakened her Mind Element magic.
Having consumed the Water of Hope and Autumn Moon, Tang Yue's mental force was not low, and her only weakness, a lack of soul defense methods, was compensated for after the successful awakening of her Mind Element.
Meanwhile, Mu Ningxue, with the long-term help of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, advanced to Spirit Saint even earlier than Tang Yue.
The Ice Crystal Brake Bow also evolved into an Extreme Spirit, and Mu Ningxue's Extreme Ice could instantly freeze everything, allowing Mu Ningxue to achieve an unprecedented level of control over the ice attribute.
Due to each person's different cultivation focus, although Mu Ningxue's Ice Element magic had not yet broken through to Super-Tier, having long since reached Advanced-Tier perfection, she could begin her breakthrough at any time.
With Lin Chen's intervention in the World, many things produced a butterfly effect.
Mu Zhuoyun, as in the original work, prepared to arrange a marriage for Mu Ningxue.
However, Mu Ningxue was no longer the same; after revealing some of her strength, she firmly took control of her own marriage.
Although Mu Zhuoyun had many shortcomings, he was still good to Mu Ningxue; after Mu Ningxue displayed her Advanced-Tier cultivation, he no longer forced Mu Ningxue, leaving the marriage entirely to Mu Ningxue's wishes.
Lin Chen could only smile upon hearing this; Mu Zhuoyun was not foolish, Mu Ningxue was only 19 years old, and an Advanced-Tier Mage at 19 had limitless potential for the future.
The Mu Ningxue in the original work only advanced to Advanced-Tier Mage two years later during her tempering in the World Tournament.
The current Mu Ningxue advanced to Advanced-Tier Mage a full two years earlier than in the original work.
As long as Mu Zhuoyun's brain wasn't addled, he would know how to choose.
...
After returning to Hangzhou, Lin Chen also began his daddy life.
Not long after Lin Chen returned, Mu Ningxue also arrived in Hangzhou; with Lin Chen taking care of the baby, Tang Yue was also unbound, happily taking Mu Ningxue out shopping.
Because at this stage, Lin Yue spent most of her time sleeping every day, it gave Lin Chen more time to calm down and cultivate properly.
Half a month later, after consuming countless energy crystals, all of Lin Chen's magic elements had cultivated to Advanced-Tier perfection.
Although the Summoning Element was not actively cultivated, through the energy fed back by the Spirit Beast, Lin Chen's suppression of the Summoning Element had reached its limit.
After informing Tang Yue and Mu Ningxue, Lin Chen began his seclusion, preparing to break through to Super-Tier.
In just two hours, Lin Chen's Summoning Element successfully broke through to Super-Tier.
As the star map lit up, Lin Chen once again arrived at that familiar space.
In the center of the space was a golden, shimmering light cluster.
Lin Chen slowly walked towards the light cluster; the golden contract light cluster flew towards Lin Chen and entered his glabella.
Before long, the golden light gradually dissipated, and a giant ancient tree appeared before Lin Chen.
"What is this?" Lin Chen pursed his lips, somewhat curious about the origin of this tree in front of him; he always felt it looked familiar, but he couldn't recall it for a while.
According to his past experience, the Spirit Beasts he summoned with his Summoning Element were all of no simple origin.
The giant ancient tree seemed to sense Lin Chen's thoughts; it gently waved its branches, and a piece of information suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's mind.
"Golden Ancient Tree! No wonder it looks so familiar!" Lin Chen murmured to himself, his face full of surprise.
The Golden Ancient Tree is an ancient tree containing immense life force; it can continuously absorb the elemental energy of the surrounding World, thereby condensing this elemental energy within its body.
As a result, cultivating around the Golden Ancient Tree would yield twice the results with half the effort.
On the Douluo Continent, the Golden Ancient Tree is the core of the entire Douluo Star, and also the Tree of Life of the entire Douluo plane.
The life force possessed by the Golden Ancient Tree is the purest on the Douluo Continent; the stronger its life origin, the stronger its feedback to the continent naturally becomes.
It is precisely because of this that the Golden Ancient Tree possesses the characteristic of allowing all creatures within its surrounding range to evolve and sublimate.
The original Golden Ancient Tree had always grown in the place with the most abundant life energy on the entire Douluo Continent.
In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a Lake of Life containing immense life energy.
Whenever Spirit Beasts suffered heavenly tribulations and their origins were damaged, they could use the life force in the lake water to repair their damaged origins.
The life force contained within the Lake of Life is unimaginable.
The life gold in Lin Chen's hand also came from this place.
The Golden Ancient Tree naturally grew here, but unfortunately, after Tang San became a Sea God, in order to make Shrek Academy better, he chose to establish Sea God Island and transplanted the Golden Ancient Tree into Shrek Academy, allowing it to protect Shrek Academy.
Whenever Shrek Academy faced a crisis, the Golden Ancient Tree played an enormous role.
It was also because of the existence of the Golden Ancient Tree that Shrek Academy remained prosperous for a long time.
Tang San's actions were outrageous; if it were someone else, transplanting the Golden Ancient Tree would be understandable, as everyone is selfish.
But who was Tang San?
He was not only the son of a Spirit Beast but also the husband of a Spirit Beast, which meant that his children, generation after generation, had the bloodline of Spirit Beasts, yet Tang San completely disregarded the interests of the Spirit Beast race.
While benefiting from the Spirit Beast race, he was also undermining them.
The auspicious beast, which was related to the Spirit Beast race's luck, was taken away... and merged with his daughter.
The co-lord of the Spirit Beasts, the Silver Dragon King, was taken away... and transformed into his daughter-in-law.
Such selfish acts, as if the Spirit Beasts had dug up his roots and desecrated his ancestral graves.
Tang San's behavior was truly too unsightly.
Just then, Lin Chen had already arrived in front of the Golden Ancient Tree; his steps did not stop, and he continuously examined the giant tree trunk.
In an instant, Lin Chen saw a silver gate emerge behind the Golden Ancient Tree.
The gate was inlaid with many peculiar symbols, shimmering with specks of light, giving it an ancient feeling.
"How can there be a door?"
"Could this be the Ancient Magic Gate of the Summoning Element?" Lin Chen murmured to himself, his thoughts racing.
Confused, Lin Chen had no choice but to first take the Golden Ancient Tree out of the summoning space and place it in the Lake of Life in the Spirit World.
Rooted by the lake, the Golden Ancient Tree greedily absorbed the surrounding majestic life force.
The Golden Ancient Tree emitted a faint glow around its body, and its branches and leaves swayed in the wind.
Lin Chen took out a pile of energy crystals and placed them beside the Golden Ancient Tree.
Sensing the immense energy contained within the energy crystals, a crack appeared in the trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree; its branches slowly lengthened, rolled up the energy crystals on the ground, and brought them one by one into the crack.
