"Thank you, Ancestor."
Receiving another large bundle of 'origin,' Lin Yuan immediately expressed his gratitude.
Lin Yuan's gratitude was indeed heartfelt. In the past five transmigrations, he had mostly relied on himself, even when he became the young master of an Immortal Sect during his fifth transmigration.
Most of the resources Lin Yuan needed for cultivation also depended on his Yin and Yang spirits venturing outside.
However, now, as long as Lin Yuan complained, the Ancestor Demonic Tree would risk depletion to actively send over the origin.
Of course, Lin Yuan was also aware that the Ancestor Demonic Tree's actions were entirely self-serving.
As long as it successfully descended into the Azure World, he would likely be the first to die.
Over the years, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had invested a significant amount of origin in him, which naturally needed to be recovered.However, just as the Ancestor Demonic Tree considered devouring Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan also considered devouring the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
At present, the existence of the Ancestor Demonic Tree was far more beneficial than detrimental to Lin Yuan.
It was equivalent to an inexhaustible treasure trove for cultivation.
In addition, Lin Yuan had already used sealing techniques to resolve the control of the Ancestor Demonic Tree over the offspring Demonic Tree, eliminating even basic hidden dangers.
"Keep cultivating diligently."
"Grow to the Fifth Stage as soon as possible."
The spiritual fluctuations emitted by the Ancestor Demonic Tree carried an encouraging tone, as if gently instructing a respectful elder.
The growth of the Demonic Tree was different from that of normal cultivators.
It was divided into stages.
Specifically, the First Stage, Second Stage, Third Stage, and so on.
The Ancestor Demonic Tree itself was in the Eighth Stage, a powerful evil god that traversed the outer realms.
The offspring Demonic Tree was a continuation of the Ancestor Demonic Tree, with an inexplicable connection between the two.
As long as the offspring Demonic Tree grew to the Fifth Stage, its life essence would be sufficient to establish a 'space channel' with the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
At that time, the Ancestor Demonic Tree would be able to enter the Azure World through another method.
This was also the ultimate plan of the Ancestor Demonic Tree. With the current situation, forcefully entering the Azure World was not realistic.
"Rest assured, Ancestor."
"I will do my best to grow."
"The glory of the Ancestor will soon envelop this world. At that time, all living beings will submit to the Ancestor's feet."
Lin Yuan was also painting a rosy picture for the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
There was no other way. If the Ancestor Demonic Tree now abandoned the Azure World and ran away, Lin Yuan could only watch helplessly.
So he had to keep the Ancestor Demonic Tree hooked as much as possible, making it believe that hope was within reach, coupled with the 'costs' formed by many early investments.
Only then could he firmly bind the Ancestor Demonic Tree outside the world.
"This is natural."
"As long as I can occupy this world, I can give you freedom and let you become a new god."
The Ancestor Demonic Tree said seriously.
In fact, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had no intention of letting Lin Yuan live.
What a joke, after consuming so much of my origin, you still want to live?
But some things couldn't be said so directly. Even facing the offspring Demonic Tree, his mere thought could decide its life or death.
Some lip service was necessary.
And so, the two trees with different intentions severed their connection.

In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Lin Yuan pondered the information revealed by the Ancestor Demonic Tree just now.
"The Fifth Stage."
Lin Yuan pondered in his heart. The growth of the Demonic Tree was different from cultivation; it was related to strength but not entirely dependent on it.
For example, now that Lin Yuan already had Seventh Rank strength, he still remained at the Sixth Stage in the growth stage of the Demonic Tree.
"With the barrier of the world and my own breath concealment, the Ancestor Demonic Tree cannot perceive which stage I have grown to."
Lin Yuan secretly thought that the Azure World had a high awareness of the Ancestor Demonic Tree. Decades ago, in order to open a gap in the barrier of the Azure World to sow the seeds of the Demonic Tree, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had paid a great price.
Since then, the Azure World's vigilance against the Ancestor Demonic Tree had reached a new level.
Therefore, the Ancestor Demonic Tree's perception of Lin Yuan was actually very limited. Coupled with the many breath-concealing techniques Lin Yuan had comprehended, it was virtually foolproof.
"On the battlefield outside the world, the Azure Alliance has recently been victorious one after another."
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted towards a certain direction, where countless Azure Alliance powerhouses were locked in battle with demonic puppets.
It wasn't surprising to Lin Yuan that the Azure Alliance had gained the upper hand on the battlefield.
Over the past decade, the Ancestor Demonic Tree had 'supported' him with countless amounts of its own origin power. This had led to a decline in strength and a reduction in the number of demonic puppets he could summon.
Strictly speaking, although Lin Yuan was the offspring of the Ancestor Demonic Tree, he still contributed to the Azure World by reducing the Ancestor Demonic Tree's power.
Outside the world, as the Azure Alliance gained the advantage, Lin Yuan was credited with the achievement.
Outside the Azure World, the towering figure of the Ancestor Demonic Tree stood amidst the void, countless vines swaying, and a terrifying demonic domain spreading in all directions.
Facing the Ancestor Demonic Tree were thirteen figures standing side by side.
They were none other than the leader and twelve vice leaders of the Azure Alliance.
The leader of the Azure Alliance was the strongest in the Azure World, wielding the Sword of the World, capable of unleashing eighth-rank strength.
As for the twelve vice leaders, they were all seventh-rank beings, not to be underestimated.
"Evil god, meet your end."
The leader of the Azure Alliance grasped a stone sword and slashed towards the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
Rip!
A large amount of spatial power was torn apart, forming chaotic spatial turbulence, carrying the momentum of the void.
The Ancestor Demonic Tree remained massive, countless black vines swaying, barely blocking the sword.
"If it weren't for this world, you ants would have no right to stand before me."
The Ancestor Demonic Tree emitted a vast spiritual fluctuation.
What it feared most was the stone sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance leader.
It was the Sword of the World, nurtured by the Azure World for countless millennia. Normally, such a weapon should have remained dormant deep within the world, functioning in tandem with the world's operations.
However, due to the Ancestor Demonic Tree's invasion this time, the Azure World became exceptionally vigilant, unhesitatingly bringing forth the stone sword to resist the invasion of the evil gods.
After a great battle, the Ancestor Demonic Tree voluntarily retreated.
The leader of the Azure Alliance and the twelve vice leaders could only relent.
Next to the Azure World, they could contend with the Ancestor Demonic Tree, but if they were far from the Azure World, it would be suicide.
The closer the stone sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance leader was to the Azure World, the greater its power.
Likewise, the farther it was from the Azure World, the weaker its power, eventually becoming no different from an ordinary sword.
"Leader, have you noticed? This time, the extraterrestrial evil god seem to be much weaker."
One of the vice leaders pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Indeed."
The leader of the Azure Alliance nodded.
Since the Ancestor Demonic Tree's invasion began, they would engage in battle with it every four or five decades.
With the protection of the stone sword, they could fully engage in battle with the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
However, this time, the Ancestor Demonic Tree did not fight them.
And from the few encounters they had, they faintly sensed the weakness of the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
"What's going on exactly?"
"Is the evil god deliberately showing weakness to lure us in?"
The leader of the Azure Alliance was somewhat uncertain.
The sudden decline in the Ancestor Demonic Tree's strength was completely inexplicable; they had never even injured the other party.
How could its strength inexplicably decline?
Therefore—
The leader of the Azure Alliance's first reaction was whether the Ancestor Demonic Tree deliberately revealed its weakness to lure them in?
In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range, Lin Yuan sensed every detail within tens of millions of miles.
Then he continued his comprehension.
[Your insight is extraordinary, comprehending the nature of the demonic seeds, improving their parasitic nature.]

[Your insight is extraordinary, comprehending the nature of the demonic seeds, improving their parasitic nature.]
In front of Lin Yuan, grayish seeds floated.
As a natural talent of the Demonic Tree, the demonic seeds had many effects, among which the 'parasitism' ability was highly valued by Lin Yuan.
However, the original parasitic ability of the demonic seeds was too crude, causing the host to behave like a zombie, which was too obvious.
So, in recent decades, Lin Yuan had set aside some time every day to improve the shortcomings of the demonic seeds.
"It's been preliminarily improved."
"Let's see how it works."
Lin Yuan glanced at the monstrous beasts entangled by black vines beside him.
The reason Lin Yuan spared the lives of these monstrous beasts was because they were useful. Now was the perfect time to test the 'parasitic' ability of the demonic seeds.
As for why he didn't parasitize those low-level monstrous beasts first, it was simply a waste of Lin Yuan's seeds.
The parasitic ability of the demonic seeds depended entirely on the strength of the host.
If the host had fifth-rank strength, after parasitism, they could still maintain fifth-rank strength.
If the host has only first-rank strength, they will remain at first-rank even after parasitism. In Lin Yuan's eyes, only a few demon beast kings reaching sixth-rank in the entire Black Mist Mountain Range barely had any value for parasitism.
Rustle.
A black vine loosened.
A demon beast king fell.
As it descended, its body rapidly enlarged, becoming a colossal creature upon landing.
"Where am I?"
This demon beast king was the Monkey King. After being unconscious for so long, it now woke up, momentarily disoriented.
"Huh?"
"No, this isn't right."
Just a few breaths later, the Monkey King realized the situation and immediately became nervous.
Turning its head, it saw itself under the horrifying ancient tree, sending a shiver down its spine.
The Monkey King instinctively tried to flee but found that it was permeated with a sinister power, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult, let alone running?
As the Monkey King pondered whether to speak a few words, a grayish seed fell from a branch and swiftly approached it.
"What is that?"
Though unable to move, the Monkey King instinctively sensed danger.
Buzz.
The grayish seed fell straight onto the Monkey King's forehead, then rapidly grew and rooted itself into the Monkey King's forehead.
"Ah!"
The Monkey King let out a painful roar. At this moment, it felt as if its head had exploded, and its consciousness began to blur.
"This seed... Is it trying to replace me?"
A wave of terror surged in the Monkey King's heart.
The grayish seed was currently rooting itself in the depths of its consciousness, slowly displacing its original consciousness, attempting to take over its mind.
"No!"
"I don't want this!"
The Monkey King struggled violently.
Compared to being replaced, complete death was a relief.
The Monkey King struggled frantically, gathering the last remnants of its consciousness, and charged towards the demonic seed.
However, unfortunately....
As the Monkey King, its entire body was suppressed by Lin Yuan's power at this moment. How could it resist the demonic seed with just a bit of remaining consciousness?
Just half a day later, the Monkey King's consciousness completely dissipated.
The parasitism of the demonic seed was successful.
Outside, Lin Yuan observed the changes in the Monkey King.
"Master."
At this moment, the Monkey King slowly crawled up from the ground and bowed slightly to Lin Yuan.
"The parasitism was successful."
Lin Yuan could clearly sense the aura of the demonic seed emanating from the depths of the Monkey King's mind.
"Master, I now possess all the memories and abilities of the Monkey King."
The Monkey King began to report.
Half an hour later, Lin Yuan sent the Monkey King away.
Now, the Monkey King had been replaced by the demonic seed, and there was no need to worry about loyalty.
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
By observing the reactions of the replaced Monkey King, as long as he paid more attention, it would be basically indistinguishable from the original Monkey King.
At least it was much better than the initial state, where the parasitized life would be vacant-eyed and stiff in movement.
Now, the demonic seed not only perfectly integrated into the host's body but also gained access to all of its memories.
It was almost able to achieve a level of deception.
"But there are still some flaws."
"Continue to improve."
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan planned to spend the next time improving and perfecting with his extraordinary insight.
The reason why Lin Yuan devoted so much effort to parasitism was to prepare for the subsequent dissemination of martial arts.
Unfortunately, the image of the Demonic Tree was not favorable, so Lin Yuan needed to find some 'spokespersons.' These 'spokespersons' had to be absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan, which perfectly matched the parasitic ability of the demonic seed.
"Martial arts."
Lin Yuan's thoughts surged. Despite being limited by the Demonic Tree itself, everything he did now was paving the way for martial arts, and disseminating the path of martial arts evolution was the main plan for the next few hundred years.
"Let's continue cultivating."
Lin Yuan's mind immersed in cultivation, and his aura became increasingly terrifying, like an unfathomable ocean.
No one knew, including the invincible leader of the Azure Alliance and the Ancestor Demonic Tree.
In the seemingly 'absolutely safe' rear of the Azure World, changes were occurring that could potentially overturn the current situation.
