The ancestral city was not as grand as Lin Che had imagined.
This ancestral city resembles a forest of mountains. Perhaps because of the ancestral stele, these mountains also stand upright like a straight ancestral stele between heaven and earth.
From a distance, it gave the impression of seeing countless memorial tablets in an ancestral hall.
However, these mountains are not only straight and towering, but also enormous. At the summit of any one of them lies a massive city.
Because the mountain range is so high, countless water mists will be shrouded at the top of the mountain. After being processed by the magic array, these water mists will condense into rivers and finally rush down from the top of the mountain, turning into a magnificent waterfall.
The howling wind blows, and most of the waterfall's spray doesn't actually reach the ground; it's blown away halfway down.
Therefore, Lin Che's second impression upon seeing the ancestral city was that it was perpetually damp.
"King Lin, once you cross these seven thousand mountains, you will reach the city where the Demon King usually resides."
Upon hearing Wu Guang's introduction, Lin Che's interest was piqued again, and he smiled, "Very good, let's go take a look. Lead the way."
Their flying city passed through uninhabited territory, soaring between towering, straight mountains, and in the distance, they could see a massive snow-capped city.
There was a palace complex in the middle, which was now in ruins. It should be the place where the Demon King used to live.
According to Wu Guang's explanation, the ancestral stele that the Wan Yao Clan used to revere stood in this city. Now that the Wan Yao Emperor has fled, the huge ancestral stele has also risen from the ground and taken away with him.
"Immediately take over the ancestral city—see if there's anything valuable, and most importantly, any cultivation manuals related to the ultimate path. Go!"
Lin Che waved his hand decisively and gave the order.
No wonder so many people want to hold power; just by opening their mouths, they can get one or two million cultivators to do things.
Absolute power corrupts.
Fortunately, I'm the one in power!
Lin Che released his spiritual sense and slowly descended from mid-air into the city. He wanted to personally search to see if the Demon Emperor had left behind any treasures.
"There are quite a few fragments of the cultivation technique left, but unfortunately, unlike in Martial Emperor City, they cannot be cultivated."
Lin Che scanned the area with his spiritual sense and discovered that there must have been many cultivators practicing here in the past, but unfortunately, only faint fragments remained, making it impossible to cultivate.
All of this must be because the Ancestral Stele was taken away by the Demon Emperor.
It's fair to say that the ancestral city is now just an empty shell.
"Wait, something's not right. There's still a trace of fortune remaining in this ancestral city, a trace of fortune belonging to the myriad demon race."
Lin Che looked at the ground in shock; his feeling was probably right. He already had a deep understanding of the human race's fortune, so he was able to distinguish this special fortune. At the same time, he had also cultivated the power of cause and effect of the Demon King, so he was now certain that the aura underground was clearly the fortune of the Demon Race.
This thing is the same as the human race's fortune, except that one belongs to the human race, while the fortune underground belongs to the demon race.
"The Demon Emperor has been entrenched in the Ancestral City for many years, and the Ancestral City is also suppressed by the Ancestral Stele, so all races are full of reverence and worship for this place. The Ancestral City can naturally gather the fortune of the Demon Clan. The Demon Emperor ran away too fast, but this fortune still exists here."
Lin Che closed his eyes and slowly sensed the situation. He discovered that the fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan was constantly dissipating.
If it weren't for its constant dissipation, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense it at all.
All of this really is fate!
"All this fortune of the Demon Clan belongs to me! Perfect timing, I need to use up all my human fortune to reforge the Heaven-Opening Axe. I was just worrying about that, now absorbing the fortune of the Demon Clan is the same thing. The Demon Clan will also be under my rule."
Immediately.
Lin Che took out the Emperor's Banner and waved it across the world.
Now that the Emperor's Banner has been upgraded, it is enough for him to set up a special heaven and earth array with a wave of his hand.
Buzz!
The entire ancestral city was surrounded by a massive heaven and earth formation, preventing even the fortune of the myriad demon races from being directly released.
"The fortune of the Demon Clan will be at my disposal!"
Lin Che activated the causal power of the Demon King and directly inhaled sharply at the earth.
This method was the same one he used when absorbing the human race's fortune before.
Whew!
Sure enough, under his powerful absorption, a vortex formed around his body, and the fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan began to swirl around him.
Then, the fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan formed a thin thread and began to flow into his body.
Suddenly, Lin Che began to sense the power of the Demon Clan, and even more so, the Demon Clan's destiny contained a special power. However, he had not yet comprehended it.
"Good stuff! Keep absorbing!"
Lin Che hovered in mid-air, surrounded by light, and the wisps of fortune flowed continuously into his body. Lin Che followed the old method, melting this fortune into his flesh and blood, especially into his various acupoints.
But this absorption is just too slow.
The entire ancestral city's underground possesses immense fortune, and the method he's currently absorbing it through is merely a thread slightly larger than a toothpick. At this rate, it would probably take him three to five years to absorb it all.
Lin Che tried several methods, but none of them worked.
Three days passed just like that.
Wan Qingsha had already taken over the entire ancestral city, and she was about to report to Lin Che on her gains from this move. When she saw Lin Che floating in mid-air from afar, her expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
Wan Qingsha hesitated for a moment, then opened her rosy lips: "Master, are you absorbing the fortune of the Demon Clan right now? If so, perhaps I have another way to help you absorb even more."
"Oh? Really? Tell me quickly!"
Lin Che knew that Wan Qingsha was 100% loyal to him, so if she said she had a way, she definitely wasn't joking.
Wan Qingsha lightly bit her pink lips, looked around, and waved away all the other guards and cultivators before saying in a slightly shy tone, "My method is very simple; I need to get close to the master first."
"Then come in quickly." With a thought from Lin Che, the entire formation opened an entrance for Wan Qingsha.
She descended through the air, her bare feet still as white and delicate as ever. When she came to Lin Che's side, she, who was usually so bold, dared not look into his eyes this time.
"My method is actually very simple. My physique is special. As long as you use me as a medium, you can absorb it a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
As Wan Qingsha spoke, her skirt suddenly moved, clearly indicating that something was hidden inside it.
The next second, a fluffy tail slowly and shyly emerged from behind her skirt.
"Master, you, you just need to grab my tail and then absorb the luck, that'll be enough..."
